Owen remained silent, his head lowered. But it was clear–he knew.

Hailey sneered. “You knew all along, yet you kept it from me. Do you take me for a fool? You let me fall in love with the son of my mother’s enemy. Owen, do you think it’s fun to toy with me?”

“Hailey, I never thought of it that way. I truly love you,” Owen said.

Hailey didn’t want to hear another word. Taking a deep breath, she said firmly, “I will keep investigating my mother’s accident until I uncover the truth.”

Owen remained silent.

“As for us, let’s separate for now–at least until I find out the truth.” Her voice was cold, devoid of any emotion.

Owen knew how stubborn she was–once she made a decision, she could not change her mind. He took a deep breath and said, “Alright.”

Exhaustion weighed on Hailey, especially in her eyes. She took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out. After wandering the streets for a while, she suddenly stopped. It was only then that she realized–she had nowhere to go.

The family she believed in, the love she cherished–in the end, they had all deceived her. She had been a fool, blissfully thinking she had found happiness. But it was all a lie.

Eliza had someone she cared about, and her relationship with Christopher was progressing rapidly. Hailey had no reason to disturb her. After scrolling for a long time, she gave up and lowered her head, aimlessly wandering the streets.

Suddenly, everything went black in front of her, and she collapsed. Hailey fell into a deep sleep, drifting into a dream.

In the dream, she saw her mother, Valerie. She was a woman of incredible warmth, grace, and poise, radiating elegance and dignity. She wore a white gown. She had a tall and slender figure, delicate skin, and a graceful neck. Her hair was neatly styled.
