Chapter 333 Hailey Friended Him

Hailey asked Brook to keep a close eye on Eliza.

“Roger won’t let Eliza go easily. He must have something else to do. He’ll be sent to Traique in a few days. Don’t let anything go wrong.”

Brook replied, “Yes. Don’t worry. We’ll keep an eye on them. We won’t let that guy run away.”

Hailey nodded and was about to hang up.

Brook suddenly called out, “Hailey.”

“What’s up?” Hailey took the baked cookies out of the oven and asked, “Anything else?”

Brook hesitated for a while on the other end of the phone and said, “I think you’d better talk to Owen about this matter. If both of you investigate, Gary will be easy to notice it. What’s more, Alan, Owen’s father, is involved. It’ll only do you good to communicate with Alan about it. Besides, you haven’t contacted him after the plane crash, right?”

Hailey pursed her lips and wanted to say that she had no intention of contacting Owen at all.

At that point, Brook continued, “I didn’t mean to ask you to make up with him. But you had better tell him that you’re safe out of courtesy. The Moores are worried about you.”

After hanging up the phone, Hailey held the phone in a daze.

She, in fact, also wanted to ask Owen how his head was recovering.

Then she found Benson’s WhatsApp account and texted him

Owen didn’t say anything when he saw the bruises on the corner of Eliza’s mouth.

After all, if a woman intended to deprave herself, even God could not save her.

There was nothing Owen could do about it.

Jose glanced at Owen’s face and cautiously said, “I also found out that Mr. Reylond is a bit of a pervert on that kind of thing only after the investigation. His wife, a daughter of an eminent family, is reluctant to cooperate with him, so she simply turns a blind eye to it and has an open marriage with him. Mr. Reylond kept a college student before, and he injured her…”

Owen frowned and looked indifferent, as if he didn’t want to hear about it. “That college girl was willing to be kept, wasn’t she? What can we do? It’s none of our business.”

Realizing that Owen had no intention of meddling in it, Jose heaved a sigh of relief.

The aunt and niece of the Brown family were really disgusting, Jose believed. How could they be so shameless?

Such brazen women like them could only be homewreckers. Never ever would they be able to marry a man open in their lives.

“Mr. Moore, I think I need to tell you about another thing.” Jose added, “The private detective said that when he followed Mr. Reylond, he met another famous private detective who was also following Mr. Reylond.”

Owen frowned and asked, “Who hired him?”

“It seems to be Mr. Brook.”

“Brook?” Owen stopped frowning.

If Brook hired that detective, then the detective should be working for Hailey.

After all, she was also investigating Eliza and Gary.

It seemed that although she was abroad, she still paid attention to these matters.

While Owen was thinking, his spare phone rang.

This phone was only used to text Hailey in the name of Benson.

But today, it rang!

At first, Owen thought there was something wrong with his phone. When he caught sight of the message from Hailey, he was stunned and quickly clicked to check it.

Hailey texted,

“She actually asked Benson for my account?” thought Owen.

His mind went blank, and he wondered if he was mistaken.

Noticing that something was amiss with his boss, Jose leaned over to have a look. Then Jose was both surprised and pleased. “Mr. Moore, Ms. Newman wants to friend you. Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and send her your WhatsApp account!”

A ripple of excitement ran through Jose.

He thought, “Ms. Newman actually wants to contact Mr. Moore? It’s so surprising.”

Owen finally came to his senses and picked up his phone.

There was only one friend on Benson’s WhatsApp account, and that was Hailey.

Owen first let “Benson” friend him and then quickly sent his own account to Hailey. His heart raced in his chest as he was afraid that the truth would be revealed.

Hailey replied to “Benson,”

As soon as Owen replied, the other phone received Hailey’s friend request with the note: “I’m Hailey.” Owen clicked to friend her and almost slid the phone out of his hand.

At the sight of it, Jose tried hard to hold back his laughter.

It had been a long time since Jose had begun to work for Owen, but he had never seen Owen so flustered. At the moment, Owen was simply like an innocent young man who had never been in a relationship, intoxicated by love. When Owen was considering what to text Hailey after friending her, she sent him a voice call. Hearing the ringing of his phone, Owen didn’t hold it tight, and it fell to the ground.

Then he quickly picked up the phone and answered the call while holding his breath.

On the other end of the line, Hailey said, “Hello, I’m Hailey.”

Owen was unsure of what to say for a moment. Hearing her calm and indifferent tone, he answered with a dry smile, “Hello.”

It caused Jose to be anxious.

Owen clearly had thousands of words to say, but why did he just say hello?

Owen’s heart pounded in his nervousness. His brain went blank, and he was lost for words. After a long while, he finally found his tongue and asked, “How have you been?”

Hailey also felt strange when she heard Owen’s voice.

She had just gone abroad. But maybe because of their long distance and the happening of a lot of things, she felt as if it had been a long time, and she was in a trance when she heard Owen’s sound.

After regaining her composure, she responded, “I’m good. May I ask you a question?”

Owen also calmed down, and he said, “Sure, go ahead.”

“Your men are investigating Eliza?” asked Hailey.

Owen had expected that she would talk about it with him, so he said softly, “Yeah, I know your people are also investigating her. But Gary used to be a policeman, and he’s observant. If our people follow him at the same time, it’ll be easy for him to notice us. You may ask your people to stop. If anything happens to Eliza and Gary, I’ll tell you right away.” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Suddenly, he added and explained, “I investigated her for Roger, not for anything else,” afraid that she would misunderstand him.

“Okay, just do as you said.” Hailey knew that she couldn’t stop him, so she didn’t try to do it. “I learned that your father Alan was also involved in this matter…”

Owen said, “He just unknowingly became a pawn to get Maya out. I will remind him to stay out of it. It’s up to him whether he’ll listen or not.”

“Okay.”

Hailey didn’t intend to let Maya off. If Alan insisted on getting involved in this, Hailey would have no choice but to hurt him.

Then Hailey and Owen exchanged a few more words. She asked how Polly was doing, and Owen said Polly was fine. They were like old friends, concerned about each other’s family but obviously alienated.

After that, Hailey said, “Well, I’m hanging up.”

“Hailey…” Owen called her in a hurry.

After pondering for a while, he asked softly, “When will you come back?”
