Chapter 170

Chapter 170

Beside Owen, a middle–aged man was speaking in a panicked tone, his forehead drenched in sweat. Richard was blocking the man from getting any closer.

Hailey saw the man’s profile and her eyes instantly dilated.

The middle–aged man had a strong resemblance to Finley. Tall and thin, he didn’t carry the usual middle–aged heaviness but instead looked almost painfully thin. He was, after all, Finley’s brother.

Despite their shared bloodline, he seemed unusually well–groomed and strikingly handsome.

Hailey clenched her lips tightly.

With just one glance, she recognized who he was. Ile was Finley’s younger brother–her uncle and Owen’s biological father.

Her heart dropped, and her face turned pale.

‘How could he be standing in front of Owen?‘ Hailey thought in a panic.

Her legs felt weak, and she nearly collapsed on the spot. The secret she had hidden so carefully for so long could now be exposed to Owen. She couldn’t allow it.

Instinctively, Hailey began to walk toward Owen, but halfway through, she froze. She ducked behind a crowd, breathing deeply to calm herself.

It seemed like Owen didn’t believe whatever the man was telling him, so Hailey had to wait. If she rushed in now, she might raise Owen’s suspicion.

If she rushed over rashly, it would make Owen Calhoun suspicious.

She carefully waited, watching as Owen and Richard left the bar. After a moment, she followed at a safe distance.

Owen got into the backseat of the car without a word. Richard, however, looked visibly annoyed as he stopped the man from following. “Sir, this is the end of the line,” Richard said coldly. “If you try to follow us again, I’ll have to call the police.”

Parker Henderson grabbed Richard’s arm desperately, his voice shaking. “I–I’m really Owen’s father. If you don’t believe me, we can do a paternity test.”

Richard didn’t believe a word but couldn’t make a scene in front of so many people. He simply shrugged off Parker’s arm and got into the car, speeding away.

Parker clenched his fists, trying to stop a taxi to follow, but someone grabbed his arm.
