Chapter 46

The woman held a black umbrella over Hailey’s head and asked with concern, “Hailey, is something bothering you? You can talk to me

Lily had been Valerie’s close friend when they were young, However, after Valerie got married and focused on her family, their contact gradually lessened.

Lily was an ambitious woman. Her aspirations had never been tied to a man–her dream was to create her own fashion brand

Hailey sighed. “Love makes people blind.”
