Chapter 573

Hailey stood frozen in place, locking gazes with Declan.

Declan stiffened.

Stella followed his gaze and turned her head. She spotted Hailey as well. "Declan, who is she?"

Declan didn't respond.

Hailey immediately turned and walked away. She wanted to leave. She hated the place as it made her feel suffocated.

Perhaps she was walking too fast or distracted, for she bumped straight into a middle-aged man.

Hailey quickly apologized. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it."

The man scowled and nagged at her, "You think saying sorry is enough? Damn it, I've lost a lot of money today, and now you come and ruin my mood..."

Then, he took a good look at her face. He stopped mid-sentence, clearly taken aback by her bright, fresh features.

His gaze swept over her from head to toe. "I didn't expect to run into such a cute little thing."

Hailey had just come from school and was wearing a white sweater and a pleated skirt layered under a puffy white down jacket.

Her long hair was tied up in a high ponytail, making her look completely out of place in this seedy casino. Her presence stood out like a bright, untainted light in the darkness.

The way the man leered at her made Hailey feel deeply uncomfortable.
