Chapter 154 Five Fathers and Five Brothers

Owen watched as the statuette fell in half on the floor. His heart broke instantly. Eliza was in shock, but she just touched her chest and said casually, “You shouldn’t have yelled at me…” She tried to coax Owen, but seeing his angry face, she bit back the words and looked at him in fear. “I’m sorry, Owie, I didn’t mean to.” Owen said coldly, “Get out now.” Eliza said in a soft tone, “owie… Is it expensive? I’ll get someone to carve you a new one.” Owen froze at her words as he slowly leaned down and picked up the statuette. He straightened up and looked at her coldly. Under his cold gaze, Eliza’s heart trembled and she took a few subconscious steps back She really thought he would hit her. If she weren’t a woman, Owen would have torn her apart! He said angrily, “Carve a new one? Do you know who carved it? You can never afford to pay for it.” Eliza’s face quickly turned red. He had never spoken to her in that tone before no matter how angry he was. What was wrong with him today? Just because she broke the statuette? “Owie…” Eliza tried to continue, but Owen suddenly raised his voice. “Security!” The security guards had been waiting outside and didn’t dare to come in, but as soon as Owen finished speaking, they rushed in. “Mr. Moore.”

Owen ordered coldly, “Get her out of here. Don’t let any more strangers in.” “Yes, Mr. Moore.” The guards grabbed Eliza at once. Eliza struggled and shouted as she was taken out, “Owie, how could you do this to me…” The maids watched dumbfounded as Eliza was thrown out. They had guessed wrong. It seemed Mr. Moore preferred Ms. Newman. Owen recalled Jose, who had just arrived home, and told him to do three things. First, get someone to restore the statuette; second, book him on the earliest flight to Poya tomorrow; and third, prepare a birthday gift for Hailey. After Jose left, Owen stared at the gifts on the table. This was his third trip to Poya. He was convinced that he could get her back!

Hailey was almost twenty-five years old. She thought she should start living a healthy life and decided to go to bed early and get up early. She usually woke up naturally or set an alarm clock, but today her phone had been ringing since early in the morning. She lazily opened her eyes and picked up her phone. Numerous people had sent her messages wishing her a happy birthday. Crystaldale’s executives, managers, and assistants had all texted her. The messages from the company group flooded her screen. She hadn’t experienced that in three years. She wasn’t used to it. Hailey frowned and sighed. She had wanted to keep a low profile, but they still made a big thing out of it. She also got messages from the family group. In the family group, red envelopes from her fathers flooded her screen. Fifth Father, [Happy birthday, my baby girl! I can’t give you too much money on Whatsapp. I have a check for you. Brook will bring it to you. Don’t No keep it to yourself, brat! @Brook) Brook rolled his eyes. (Okay.) Fourth Father, (Just a check? You’re insincere, you snobbish businessman. Hailey, I have a gift for you. Kyle will bring it to you. Don’t forget, brat! @Kyle) Kyle, (Got it. You’ve reminded me a million times. I’m on my way.] Third Father, (Are you still sleeping, lazy cat? You guys stop messaging. Don’t disturb my lazy cat. Give me a meow when you get up and I’ll give you a gift.) Randal, (Dad, you’re so naughty. The lazy cat will turn into a wild cat and scratch you.) Second Father, (Come on. Don’t you know how old you are, old man? Hailey, don’t listen to him. I got you a sports car. Jared will drive it to you!) Jared, (I’m driving it. Lazy cat, I want a meow too.) First Father, (…) Karl, (…)

Second Father, (Instagram, say something. Oh, I forgot you don’t know Conglish. Haha!) First Father, (Shut up!) Karl, [Ingram, not Instagram. Thank you.) Fifth Father, (Karl, you’re pretty fluent in Conglish. Nice. Instagram, you need to learn from your son.) First Father, I…) Karl, 1…) Hailey was amused by their messages and fully awake. She sat up, received all the red envelopes, and started replying. (Thank you, fathers, love you. Then she cleared her throat and sent a voice message, (Meow. @Third Father) Third Father, (Haha, nice!)

However, her other fathers complained, [We want it too!) Hailey was speechless. They were acting like big babies! She could only give them one by one meow in a hoarse voice. Her brothers laughed at her in their own group. –

Hailey narrowed her eyes, exited the family group, opened her brothers’ group, and sent an angry meme and three chopper emojis to quiet them down. As the group leader, Brook quickly changed the group name from United Brothers to Hailey Is Angel. Hailey was satisfied with this and forgave them. As they chatted, there was a knock on the door and Ava asked in a sweet voice, “Hailey, are you up?” “Come in.” Ava grinned as soon as she entered. “Happy birthday!” Hailey was amused by her. “Thanks.” Ava gave Hailey the gift she had prepared a few days ago, a phoenix hairpin that she had designed herself. The shining purple jade was carved into a phoenix. It was classically beautiful and Hailey loved it. “It’s carved by Master Rulin of Newman Jewelry, right?” Ava nodded. “Good eye. Master Rulin is very busy and I begged him for a long time. He didn’t agree until I said it was a birthday gift for you. He didn’t even charge me, so it’s from both of us.” Hailey stroked her hair. “I love it.” They freshened up and went downstairs for breakfast, but they stopped at the stairway. The living room was filled with gifts. Hailey was speechless. ‘Did First Father bring the whole castle here?’
