Chapter 175

When Hailey heard the news, she wasn’t surprised. The Davidson Group, already prejudiced against the Dalton family, decided to take the initiative and cancel their engagement with Isaac.

Despite Isaac and Kenneth holding the fort, the Dalton Group’s stocks continued to plummet, and it wasn’t long before they had lost the glory they once held.

Fortunately, Owen’s financial support kept things from spiraling out of control–for now. But it was clear that the Dalton Group was no longer one of the city’s four elite families, no longer the powerhouse it once was.

In Hallon City, the winds of change were stirring.

Hailey stood by the window in the hospital room, watching the endless drizzle outside. With a deep sigh, she felt the chill in the air. It was already late autumn.

She was wearing a thin white sweater today, her long hair tied loosely, giving her a gentle and autumnal look.

Thomas was still asleep in the bed, connected to a breathing machine.

The door creaked open.

“Hailey,” came Holly’s soft voice.

Hailey turned around, responding with a smile as she led Holly out of the room. “Grandpa just fell asleep.”

Holly nodded. “I’ll stay and keep an eye on Grandpa. Mr. Calhoun is waiting for you.”

“Why isn’t he coming up?” Hailey asked.

Holly shrugged. “I’m not sure.”

“Then I’ll go down for a bit. You take care of things here,” Hailey said with a smile as she entered the elevator.

It was 10 a.m. on a Saturday.

As Hailey stepped out of the elevator, she immediately spotted the man standing by the roadside.

Owen was wearing a black suit, lazily leaning against the car door. His casual posture was effortlessly alluring, and with his striking good looks and tall frame, every young woman passing by couldn’t help but steal a glance at him.

In the past two years, he had only grown more charming, his mature and gentle aura now impossible to hide. He was irresistible to younger women.

Hailey stood there, feeling a twinge of jealousy. She didn’t walk straight to him, feeling a little possessive.

Owen chuckled softly as he straightened up and walked toward her.
