Chapter 187 Self-moving at the Wedding When Hailey ran backstage, there was no one there. She frowned, ‘The light gray leisure wear and the cigarette bag pole that never leaves him are all standard accessories for grandpa. I won’t have been wrong. It seems that grandpa indeed came here. But why does he leave when the wedding is not over yet? And he didn’t come to see me. He is so bad.’ Owen followed her out, but when he walked backstage he stopped. He was slightly shocked that he seemed to have seen Hailey’s face showing a child’s wronged expression. Her nose was slightly wrinkled and her mouth was also slightly pursed. ‘What’s going on?’ “What’s the matter? Have you seen a ghost?” Matthew followed closely, shouting. He was warned by Owen with his eyes and shut his mouth. He also found that Hailey’s mood was not right. Hailey ignored them, stood there for a while, and looked up and around, but the figure still didn’t appear or come back. “Ms. Newman!” Chris rushed backstage and saw Owen and Matthew, who were stuck there like two pillars. He got a shock and smoothed his breath before walking toward Hailey. He whispered, “Old Mr. Newman did go back to the Newmans’ old residence a few days ago. And he went to Poya after receiving the wedding invitation…” Hailey glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice, “Didn’t I tell you to keep a close eye on him?” “I’m sorry, Ms. Newman. This is my dereliction of duty.” Chris bowed his head and apologized, carefully explaining, “You happened to be in Diverous on the days when I found out the whereabouts of old Mr. Newman. And you almost got into danger when we returned to Poya. So I forgot to contact the person I sent.” Hailey’s face was cold, “You don’t need to take this quarter’s bonus.” “Yes.” Chris felt pain, but it was really his fault, and he didn’t dare to argue anymore. Hailey said heartlessly, “Grandpa just showed up. Send someone to look for him. If you can’t find him in one day, you don’t have to get
your year-end bonus.” “Yes!”
Owen and Matthew listened to the whole conversation, but they didn’t understand what was going on. As soon as Hailey left, Matthew stopped Chris. “Old Mr. Newman? Is he Hailey’s grandfather?” “I’m sorry, sirs. This is Ms. Newman’s family business. I have no comment.” Chris didn’t dare to delay, so he quickly sent his staff to look for Old Mr. Newman. Matthew was puzzled and guessed, “He should be Hailey’s grandfather, Morgan and Reid’s father. Is he still alive? Why haven’t I heard
of it before?” Owen frowned slightly. “Shut up if you don’t know how to say.” Watching Owen’s back, Matthew angrily said, “It’s OK that Hailey scold me like that. Why do you say that about me?”
Back in the auditorium, the wedding had reached a very sweet stage, and the photos of the bride and groom as children were being played. It was not clear when this wedding custom began. In short, it was to tie two total strangers together. It was euphemistically called “fate”. Hailey was no stranger to this part, while Owen had been deeply affected. Seeing the pictures flashing on and off the screen, he thought of the scene at his wedding. His lip line gradually became a straight line, and his cold eyes were also drawn back from the big screen. Eve stood on the stage with an unhappy expression. She gave Hailey a hard look ‘At such an important moment, she dared to run out at
the wedding. She almost caused a riot just now. She never forgets to steal the limelight with me. However, I am the heroine today, and no one can steal my thunder! After the photos had been played, the officiant summarized the fate of the couple, saying that the bride and groom were childhood sweethearts. Cupid had decided their fate of them early, which was a rare beauty. Ava listened silently, but her thoughts kept drifting away. ‘If we talk about childhood sweethearts, it seems that Hailey and Luca are the
ones. Luca has always been around Hailey since childhood, and Eve has always been behind Luca, disliked. Come to think of it, it doesn’t seem very beautiful.’ Eve grabbed the microphone of the officiant and took the initiative to about the process from the acquaintance to the love between her and Luca, and shaped herself into a lovestruck woman who had stuck to the road of love for 20 years. As she spoke, she was probably too moved to sob and cry. Luca was drowsy and almost yawned. Suddenly, he saw Eve crying and was confused. Then he directly wiped her tears with the headscart of her wedding dress, Matthew couldn’t stand to listen and watch more. He couldn’t help joking, “The bride must have watched too many sentimental films. Can she stop crying? She’s so ugly,” Hailey watched expressionlessly, ‘Eve’s skill of acting has been good for a long time. And she was increasingly good at crying, but her IQ. has not improved at all.’ Seeing the bride could not stop crying, the officiant hurried to the next step of the process – rings exchange. At the part she was most looking forward to, Eve finally stopped crying. A ring was about to be put on Eve’s finger when a female voice suddenly sounded at the door, “Wait a minute!” This sudden shout made everyone look back one after another. When Luca heard the familiar voice and saw the familiar figure, he was
shocked and his hand trembled. The ring fell off his fingers and rolled away. Hailey looked at the woman coming, and the interest in the bottom of her eyes grew stronger. ‘The good play begins.’ Eve’s face darkened when she saw Candice Miler. ‘I have driven her out of Poya, why does she come back? How dare she be here at my wedding today!’ “Come! The security guards! Get this crazy woman out of here!” Eve, regardless of her image, was anxious to drive the woman, and her heart was in a panic for no reason. ‘Candice Miler, the bitch, who is the mistress caught in bed with Luca by me before! During this period, she is constantly trying to seduce Luca, and the two even dare to flirt in front of me. The bitch is very tricky. Luca has been fascinated by her. I have been patient, pretending magnanimous, but it does not mean that I am willing to share my husband with another woman!’ The security guards came forward to take Candice out, but she said calmly, “Be careful, guys. I am pregnant and it’s Luca’s baby. It doesn’t matter if you hurt me. But perhaps you can’t afford it if you hurt the baby.” Hearing this, the security guards released her hands and dared not touch her, for fear of causing trouble. Her voice was not loud, but it was heard by most people in the auditorium. Luca and Eve standing on the stage naturally heard it. Eve was astounded, ‘She … This bitch is pregnant?!’
