The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 77

Chapter 77

“Alright, fine.” Hailey pouted in defeat.

Hailey knew Owen was right–her period was coming, and she was not supposed to drink anything cold.

Truthfully, if Owen had not mentioned it, she would not have remembered at all.

Even so, she still felt the need to protest. “You’re so fierce!

Fine, I won’t drink! But does he have to be so fierce? she thought unhappily.

Owen let out a quiet laugh. “If I’m not a little strict with you, how else am I supposed to keep you in check

Hailey huffed lightly and turned her head away.

To her and Owen, this was just playful banter.

But for Christopher, it was an uncomfortable sight. He quickly interrupted, “I’ll get the drinks”

Eliza murmured a quiet agreement.

Owen, being the designated driver, refrained from drinking.

In the end. Hailey had a small glass of vodka, while Christopher and Eliza drank a little more. After a few rounds of cards, they finally wrapped things up.

At the same time, some unexpected guests arrived at the Dalton Mansion.

It was Selena and her family.

“Weren’t you the ones who said you wouldn’t be coming? So why are you here now, at this hour?” Thomas asked.

His expression alone was enough to make it clear–he was not happy to see them.

But Selena’s family was thick–skinned–there was no way a single remark would make them leave.

Aiden plastered on a smile and stepped forward. “Dad, how can you say that? It’s New Year’s Day–of course, we should be spending it together as a family. Right, Kenneth?”

Kenneth remained silent.

Thomas’s face remained stormy, but he did not say anything either.

Despite his big ambitions and limited abilities, Aiden had not actually caused any real harm.

Aiden was good with words and knew how to say all the right things. And since he was well aware that Thomas did not like him, he played the part of the obedient son, at least on the surface, never doing anything outright disrespectful.

Everyone sat down, the air thick with an awkward silence.

Suddenly, Selena asked, “Hailey isn’t home?”
