Chapter 018 The Ex-husband Was Worth Five Cents
Hailey stopped in her tracks. For a moment, she thought that she hadn’t woken up from her hangover and
that she had seen a ghost.
Owen Moore, why was he here?
However, when she saw the man’s cold expression and the way he stared at her
like a tiger eyeing its prey, it was obvious that he had come for her. It was probably because he had found out about her background. However, they had already divorced, so there was no need for her to go forward and greet him. Hailey calmed herself down and continued to walk. She stuck out her chest and raised her head. Her posture was elegant, and her temperament was noble. “Stop.” A cold voice sounded from the seat. Hailey pretended that she did not hear it and did not stop. Suddenly, a sharp gust of wind rushed over and grabbed Hailey’s wrist. The bodyguard behind her immediately stepped forward to block Owen. “What are you doing?”
The bodyguard’s hand slashed over, but Owen reached out to block it. Seeing that they were about to fight, Hailey waved his hand lightly to signal the bodyguard to retreat. Then, she looked up at Owen expressionlessly. “Sir, you
are hurting me.” Her wrist was tightly grasped by him. After knowing him for so long, this was
the first time he touched her.
After they divorced.
How ironic Owen looked at the woman’s cold eyes. The gentle and warm face in the past was now cold and distant at this moment, as if she had never known him. This made him depressed and annoyed.
“What are you playing?”
Owen released her wrist, but his tone was cold. “Who are you exactly?” “Watch your tone, sir,” the assistant scolded in dissatisfaction.
“Sir, do we know each other?” Hailey waved her hand and looked up at Owen without any warmth. Owen was stunned.
She actually said that she did not know him? What about their three years of marriage?
He secretly clenched his fists and had the urge to hit someone. His temper, which had been restrained for many years, was almost exploded by this woman at this moment. He gritted his teeth and asked, “If you don’t know me, why did you look at me just now?” Hailey replied seriously, “You are good-looking. Are you not allowed to be looked at? Is your face a scenic spot? Do I have to pay for a glance?” Hearing that, Owen was lost in words.
When did the Hailey he knew, who had always been dull, become so eloquent?
“Do you have cash?”
Hailey turned around and asked her assistant. The two assistants searched in their pockets for a long time. Finally, they took out five cents and responded embarrassedly, “Only five cents.” “That’s enough.” Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Hailey took the coin and stuffed it into Owen’s hand. “I’ll give you five cents.
Keep the change.” Then, she stepped on her high heels and left with a group of people. Her aura was overwhelming. She was like a queen who looked down on the world. She didn’t look back and didn’t feel reluctant to leave.
Owen held the five cents and stood in place. His mind was a mess. It was as if he had never known this woman before. She was too different.
But her appearance could not lie, and the mole at the corner of her eye could be like no other
A burst of laughter suddenly sounded in his ear. Matthew, who had witnessed everything, stood at the elevator and laughed so hard that his whole body was about to fall
After knowing Owen for so long, this was the first time he saw him being
defeated.
Matthew smiled as he walked toward Owen and placed his arm on Owen’s
shoulder. “Are you sure this is the boring ex-wife you were talking about? This ex-husband of hers is only worth five cents?”
Owen clenched the five cents and gritted his teeth. The veins on his forehead were bulging. “But since you are divorced, it means that she has nothing to do with you, right?
Then, can I chase her? She is really my type…” Before he finished speaking, Owen’s fist came smashing over. “Get out of here!” Chase his ass!
As soon as they got in the car, the originally calm Hailey was no longer calm. She took out her phone and called Brook. “Brook, why did Owen appear in the Nomad?”
“What did you say?” Brook was sitting in front of the computer watching some naughty videos. When he heard this, he was startled. “Owen came to Poya? He
is in my territory?” “I just saw him downstairs. I bumped into him.” “What a small world!”
Brook put on his Bluetooth earphone, and his fingers typed on the keyboard. He turned to the surveillance camera on the first floor and saw the encounter and conversation between the two people clearly. He couldn’t help but laugh. “Five
cents? You completely embarrassed him! Look at Owen’s expression. He looks like he is eating shit. It’s too funny. Serve him well, hahaha…” “Hurry up and check what he is doing in Poya?” Hailey was annoyed by his
demonic laughter.
At this time, shouldn’t he be having a good time with his new slutty girlfriend?
Shouldn’t they be immersed in his brand new life with her? How could he have the time to come to Poya?
Could it be that it was for her… “He knows Matthew?” Brook muttered.
Hailey frowned. “Who?”
Brook looked at the scene of the two men hugging each other. “The guy who
touched your butt last night and got beaten up by you. It seems that he has a good relationship with Owen.” “So, he betrayed me?” Hailey asked. “It’s very possible.” Operating the computer for a while, Brook suddenly sighed. “Sure enough, the surveillance on the dance floor last night was hacked. It was most likely done by that kid, Matthew.”
His computer skills were unexpectedly superb. Hailey’s face was cold. She did not know that Owen was on good terms with
the Holland family of Belindao. It should be said that during the three years of marriage, he never treated her as his wife. He never took her out to meet his
friends and introduced her to his social circle. “Things were finally settled at midnight yesterday. If Matthew really recognized you and told Owen, Owen would have to rush over from North City overnight to make it here.” Brook analyzed for her and snorted. “Could it be that after you left, this scum began to miss you and want you back?” Hailey’s eyebrows trembled, and she asked self-deprecatingly, “Do you think it’s possible?” “No.
As far as I know, there was a scene in Moore Mansion last night. Your ex-mother-in-law and that bitch fought. In the end, your ex-husband drove his mother away because of his sweetheart.”
Those words made Hailey’s heart sink again, and her lips were full of endless ridicule.
Owen was always a filial person, but for Eliza, he did not hesitate to contradict
his mother. It could be seen how deep his love for Eliza was. Who was this ex-wife to him? “If he really came for you, what are you going to do?” Brook asked. “Since we are divorced, it means that we have nothing to do with each other. I
have been willful for three years. I won’t be willful anymore.”
