Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 311

But even though Patrick managed to stop the words from leaving his mouth, his meaning was already perfectly clear.

Hailey could plainly see the look in Patrick's eyes as he glanced at her—it was filled with disgust and impatience.

These past few days, all of Patrick's thoughts had been on Serena. Now he was comparing her to Serena. He even regretted bringing her home.

Regretted bringing her home, and regretted kicking Serena out, is that it?

Hailey clenched her fists so tight her knuckles turned white, her entire body trembling with suppressed rage. "Dad, listen to me. In a few days… a major figure in Vaelion City is throwing a huge coming-of-age party for his granddaughter. I have a way to get an invitation!"

"With a titan like that, everyone there will be from Vaelion City's most powerful and elite families. If we go, we're sure to find investors!"

"A major figure?" Patrick was obviously skeptical, mainly because he didn't believe Hailey had the connections to know anyone of that caliber.

After all, Hailey had grown up in an ordinary, working-class family. The Cole family was the most prestigious circle Hailey had ever been exposed to.

How could she possibly be qualified to receive an invitation from a titan of industry?

Patrick waved his hand dismissively and went back to texting Serena on Logan's phone. "Hailey, I know you mean well for the Wynn family, but the situation now… you don't quite understand. The crisis we're facing isn't just about Titancrest Group and NovaForge Capital pulling their investments. It's also about the pressure from the heirs of Vaelion City's top-tier families…"

First, two firms known for their sharp investment sense had withdrawn their capital. Then, Mr. Foster and his crowd of wealthy heirs started applying pressure.

They could easily be called the wealthiest family in the country.

For a family with such overwhelming power that he wasn't even worthy of looking up to… how could Hailey possibly be qualified to get an invitation from them?

Hailey lowered her eyes, affecting a shy demeanor. "I studied jewelry design. Before I returned to the Wynn family, I entered a design competition and was lucky enough to win first place, which gave me the opportunity to have my work exhibited…"

"And it was through that opportunity that I caught the eye of the fiancée of the Blackwood family's heir."

"Isabella thinks I have a real talent for design and deeply admires my work. We hit it off right away, and after a few conversations, we became good friends. Isabella even said… she wants to recruit me to be the chief designer at her jewelry company."
