The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Before Hailey could even open her mouth, Joshua, standing beside her, exclaimed in surprise, “Owen, what are you doing

here

Though ranked second among the four wealthy families, the Cooper family harbored no desire to settle for the runner–up position. For years, they had been competing with the Calhoun family secretly, creating a bitter rivalry that was nothing short of mutual animosity.

Of course, it was the elders who were at odds; the younger generation didn’t really care.

Joshua was always taught to learn from Owen and to surpass him. As a result, the name of Owen was practically his nightmare.

Owen narrowed his eyes and recognized hit, greeting, “Hi. Joshua”

They’d only met a few times, so Joshua was pleasantly surprised that such a busy man like Owen could remember him.

Suddenly coming face–to–face with his nightmare. Joshua was a bit flustered.

Previously, his impression of Owen was formed at banquets, where Owen seemed exceptionally aloof and detached. unapproachable, like a celestial being from outer space.

However, upon meeting privately, Joshua discovered that he wasn’t as icy and unattainable as he seemed. At least, he would greet people.

Owen naturally took Hailey’s backpack. His long, pale fingers were particularly beautiful, and then he asked Joshua casually. “I’m taking Hailey out to eat. Want to join us?”

Joshua was stunned for a few seconds before he caught on, hesitating. “You two…”

Owen explained naturally, “We’re dating”

Joshua was dumbfounded upon hearing this. He knew Hailey was amazing, but he didn’t expect her to be so amazing as to snag Owen

With this thought, he couldn’t help but give Hailey an admiring look.

“How did you two know each other?” Owen asked casually.

Joshua explained, “Oh, well. Hailey and I met through gaming. You don’t know, Owen. She is a beast at gaming. She’s super skilled, her aim is on point, and she totally wrecked me when we first met….

He easily struck up a conversation with Owen about how he met Hailey.

Owen frowned slightly: he didn’t play games, so he didn’t quite understand what Joshua was saying, but he guessed Hailey was quite the gaming pro.

“Aren’t we going to eat?” Timely, Hailey interrupted Joshua’s endless chatter.

Owen, let’s game together sometime. I’m outta here.” Joshua wasn’t clueless. Before Hy could say anything, he made a quick exit, refusing to be a third
