In her past life, at that extravagant banquet thrown by the Dalton family. Hailey had been humiliated and bullied by others.

Back then, she was a scared little mouse, too terrified to even think about standing up for herself.

The Dalton family members watched her suffer, and instead of offering help, they shamelessly berated her in front of all the guests.

From that moment on, the name Hailey Dalton became a running joke in Hallon City.

It was also at that same banquet where Selena, pretending to care, offered a few half–assed pleas for help.

Of course, it didn’t do a thing, but back then, Hailey, in her naive innocence, actually thought of Selena as a good sister and followed her around like a lost puppy.

As Hailey thought back to all that, a cold, deadly gleam flashed in her eyes.

Hailey casually walked toward the poolside. The men picked up the pace, quickly catching up with her.

“Hey, Miss Dalton, one of them called out.

Hailey turned around. pretending to be confused, her face innocent as she asked, “What do you want?*

The guys blocked her path, and one bold jerk reached out to touch her shoulder.

Hailey effortlessly dodged his disgusting hand, acting shocked as she asked, “What the hell are you guys trying to do?”
