Chapter 240 Madam Is Finally Back
Catherine‘s round eyes stared at Owen. “Old pal, may I know who
you are?” Old pal? That sounded old. Owen found it both funny and
annoying. Since the girl was Hailey‘s niece, he was naturally nice
to her. Curling his lips, he said in a teasing tone, “This is my
home.”
Catherine was baffled. Then she remembered the name of this
place and figured out the situation. “So, you‘re Owen, Hailey‘s...”
She tried to stand up. Before she could say the word “ex–husband“,
Hailey snapped, “On your knees.”
The little wimp was on her knees again, but her eyes were still
fixed on Owen. Resentment instantly crept onto her face. “You‘re
that unfaithful man who broke Hailey‘s heart. I hate you!”
Owen was stunned. She looked back at Matthew and said, “Matt,
you should stay away from him. He will lead you astray.”
Matthew didn‘t know what to say. The atmosphere turned awkward

It took Hailey 15 minutes to soothe the sobbing crowd, and she
thought to herself. Had they been mistreated after she left? Owen
hadn’t mistreated them. In sobs, Lorenza expressed her concern
about the incomplete home. Most of the maids here used to serve
the elders and Polly at the Moores‘ old residence. They were
deeply attached to the Moore family and regarded Moore’s house
as their home. They had been striving to do their best.
After Hailey and Owen got married, Polly sent some maids here.
Worried that newcomers could not do their job well and that the
country girl could not manage them, she had chosen those honest

and hardworking ones.
After they settled in Moore Mansion, Hailey treated them well.
They were closer to the hostess who spent a lot of time with them
than the master who rarely showed up.
The butler was the only exception. Hailey darted a look at him. It
was surprising yet reasonable. “Zack, you‘re attending to Moore
Mansion now?”

and bowed. Zack was the eldest son of Polly‘s housekeeper,
