Chapter 150 It was always Hailey
It was late when Hailey arrived home. But the lights in the Garden of Rose were bright as usual. There were two cars parked in the vard. Apart from the one Hailey bought for Ava Newman, there was an unfamiliar sports car. Hailey thought they had a guest at home. But once she entered the house, she only saw Eve and Ava sitting on the sofa. Eve laid leisurely on the sofa, taking the house as her own room like usual. She was eating fruit with a stick and complaining incessantly, “It’s such a hassle to get married. I can’t eat anything on the eve of the wedding. So I have to eat fruit to satisfy my hunger…” Ava was obviously not interested in listening to her wedding march, covering her mouth and yawning. When she saw Hailey, she was suddenly refreshed. “Hailey, you’re back!” Ava stood up and greeted Hailey cheerfully. Hailey hadn’t seen Ava for several days. She was also quite happy, raised her hand, and lightly pinched her face, “I thought you were still staying at Ada’s place and don’t want to come back anymore.” “That wouldn’t happen. I love you so much.” Ava took her arm and said in a small voice, “I haven’t been idle these days. I prepared a birthday present for you. And today it’s finally finished!” “Wow. No wonder. I was confused why you’ve been secretive for the past few days. So this is what you’ve been doing.” Hailey felt warm in her heart, “It’s just an ordinary birthday. You don’t have to prepare anything. I would be happy to hear you wish me a happy birthday.” Before Ava could say anything, Eve’s voice came from the couch. “Yeah, it’s just a 25th birthday. It’s not like the 60th birthday. So why all the fuss?” Eve was very dissatisfied with Ava’s double standard behavior, “Ava, you’d better understand that the most important thing now is my wedding! You’can have a birthday every year. But my wedding is once in a lifetime!” She sat up, pinched another grape, and filled her mouth. She said while eating, “Don’t forget to prepare me a wedding present. Av, I want you to be my maid of honor and I’ve got your bridesmaid’s dress ready.” Eve came home today for this purpose. First, she wanted to remind them to prepare the gifts for the wedding. Second, she wanted Ava to be her bridesmaid. When Ava heard this, she refused without thinking, “No! I don’t want to be your maid of honor.” “Why not?” Eve wrinkled her brow and changed her face, “What? Why? It’s good for you to gain some experience in advance. You’re working now. And you might be married in a couple of years.” Ava didn’t listen to her and just said, “Whatever. I’m not going.” “You are totally unreasonable.” Eve was angry and put her hands on her waist. She wanted to pull Ava over. But she was hiding behind Hailey. She didn’t dare to do anything rude. So she just pointed at her from a distance, with a commanding tone, “You have to go!” “You heard what she said, Hailey…” Ava shook Hailey’s arm pleadingly. Hailey looked at Eve silently, “What’s wrong with you? She said she didn’t want to go. It’s not that Ava doesn’t want to be a bridesmaid. It’s that she doesn’t want to be your bridesmaid.” Ava nodded behind Hailey. Eve looked at them who were standing in the same line. She was so angry that she could hardly say a word. “You have no idea how many people want to be my maid of honor? I give the opportunity to you because you are my sister. And you are so disappointing.” She had an angry look on her face, like an angry bird. Anyone who saw this scene would find her behavior and expression amusing and ridiculous. Hailey and Ava looked at her and couldn’t hold back their laughter. “What are you laughing at?” Eve felt that she had been humiliated, “Well, you guys are trying to isolate me, aren’t you? Ava Newman,
don’t forget who picked you up here!” Ava stopped laughing, leaned on Hailey, and said, “Hailey picked me up here.” Eve stared at her, stunned, “No. I’m asking who offered to bring you here. Who was the one that saved you from your misery?” Ava said, “Hailey.” For her, it was always Hailey. Eve, “…” She was completely speechless. She felt she was about to explode. No matter what Eve said, Ava refused to be her bridesmaid. Eve had no choice but to find someone else. In fact, if she could really find a suitable bridesmaid, she would not have come to pester Ava. Eve Newman had friends. But they were the kind of friends that you could only have fun with. She attached great importance to this wedding. She couldn’t afford any mistake to happen on it. The only one who was suitable was Ava. And she won’t be upstaged by Ava too. But now she couldn’t understand why Ava would refuse her invitation. She had to find another suitable person. Eve and Luca had been licensed. She was the daughter-in-law of the Edwards. Because of this, Morgan and Eve became very confident. Morgan moved out of the Garden of Rose a while ago and bought a villa on the outskirts of the city, enjoying a comfortable life for several days before returning to the company,
Back to the company, he actually wanted to show off his authority as chairman. He asked the secretary to call the senior management
and all the department managers to the meeting room, he wanted to have a meeting. Seeing that it was almost the meeting time, Morgan deliberately stayed in the office for five more minutes before he walked slowly into the conference room with a teapot. As soon as he pushed the door open, he found that there was no one in the conference room. “What’s going on? Does everyone lose their sense of time?” He was angry. The secretary ran over in a panic in high heels. Morgan reprimanded with a stern face, “Where is everyone? Do you all want to be fined for being late?” “Mr. Neman.” The secretary was out of breath, ‘Iran all over the company. The senior management and all department managers are in Miss Newman’s office for a meeting, I went over to invite them. But they said we need to wait.” “How dare they! I am the CEO of the company.” Morgan’s authority was seriously challenged, and he was immediately furious, “Are
there no rules in the company? She is so arrogant.” He put the big teapot into the hands of the secretary and went towards Hailey’s office
directly.
Just as he reached there, he was stopped. The executive assistant stopped him, “Sorry Chairman. We can’t let you in without Miss. Newman’s permission.” “I am the chairman. She is the president. I thought it was clear enough who is the real boss!” Morgan poised a high profile. But the executive assistant was very determined, “You are the chairman of the board. But we have to follow Miss. Newman’s orders. So please go back.” “Get out of my way!” Morgan was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped the executive assistant in the face. Other assistants saw his deeds and were all shocked. “Even if you’re the chairman, you can’t just hit us…” The assistants were all young and bold. It was impossible for anyone of them to be a tame lamp. What’s more, they worked for Hailey Newman. No one could bully them. In the chaos, Morgan received a punch. His glasses were knocked off. His body also received a punch and a kick. He even let out several yelps of pain. “Stop it! I’m the chairman!!!”
