The Forgotten Girl Is Back For Revenge

Chapter 165

Isaac took a deep breath and asked, “Hailey, why did Owen do this?”

Hailey lowered her head, pressing her lips together.

When it came to the Dalton family, she had never intended to bring down the Dalton Group. After all, it was only Aiden’s family that had wronged her, and Isaac and the others had always treated her kindly.

She wasn’t someone who couldn’t see things clearly,

Now, because of her personal matters, Isaac had been dragged into this mess, and Hailey felt guilty about it.

Seeing her silent, Isaac sighed, gently ran his hand through her hair, and said in a soothing voice, “I’m not blaming you. If you chose to break up with him, it must have been for a reason. Owen’s crazy retaliation has nothing to do with you. This is just business competition, Hailey. Let me handle it, and don’t go see him.”

After all, Hailey had called him ‘brother, and that made them family. He could never sacrifice Hailey just to protect the

company.

“Isaac,” Hailey murmured, her eyes darkened. “I’m sorry.”

Isaac smiled and said, “Don’t say such silly things.”

Hailey’s eyes reddened, and she lowered her head.

Isaac shifted the topic. “It’s already noon. Holly knows we’ve been busy and will be bringing us lunch soon. I’ll call you when it’s ready, and you can come eat with us.”

“No need,” Hailey replied, “You two lovebirds don’t need me to be the third wheel.”

“What third wheel? She’s already preparing lunch for you too,” Isaac said with a smile. “That’s settled then.

Unable to decline, Hailey gave a soft “Hmm” and smiled slightly.

After Isaac left, Hailey lowered her head, massaging her temples and taking a deep breath.

She hoped Owen would stop in time.

If not, going head–to–head with the Calhoun Group would be like an egg trying to break a rock–there’d be no way out.

A week passed.

After the Monday meeting, Hailey returned to her office, her mind heavy with worries.
