Chapter 162 The Moore Family’s Blessing What makes it worth so much?” Jared was shocked. He could use that money to buy
several assault rifles, which were way cooler than this bottle! “Hailey, is this an antique? It looks like porcelain,” Brook asked
curiously. He didn’t know much about antiques, so he asked Hailey, an expert on the subject. Hailey explained, “It’s not ordinary
porcelain but colorful porcelain. This bottle was most likely made in the Minitan dynasty. It’s very rare and precious.” She twirled
the bottle and continued, “In the Atlant dynasty, blue and white porcelain was popular, but red porcelain became mainstream and
colorful porcelain took over the market in the Minitan dynasty. These patterns are painted with red pigments...” Hailey talked a lot
and her brothers were bewildered. She was not good at singing and dancing, but she was an expert in antiques. All they could
do was listen to her and not interrupt at all. “Okay, Hailey, that’s enough. We’re all confused. We already know it’s an antique. I
didn’t expect Owen would give you such an important gift. He grabbed the porcelain plates from you last time. He’s improved in
the past few months,” Brook interrupted Hailey. “What? He grabbed something from Hailey?” Kyle cursed angrily, “Stupid man!”
Randal asked Hailey, “Did he say anything?” Hailey replied, “Happy birthday.” “It’s just a porcelain bottle. The bastard has bullied
Hailey for so many years. There’s no way I’m going to forgive him because of a porcelain bottle!” Jared picked up the bottle. “I’m
throwing it out right now.” He held the bottle tightly and turned it upside down, but something suddenly fell out and slid down his
arm to the floor. “What is it?” Brook picked it up and handed it to Hailey. He glanced at her neck and said with surprise, “A
necklace? It looks just like the one around your neck!” It was also a gold smiley face pendant necklace. It was darker in color, but
the two smiley faces were almost identical! Hailey pursed her lips. ‘What’s going on?’ Brook put the necklace in Hailey’s hand,
but he quickly curled his fingers and shouted, “Why is there blood on it?” Hailey frowned at her own finger, which was also
stained with blood. Just then, Jeremy helped Gail in and sat him down on a chair. Hailey looked at the red marks on Jeremy’s
hand. The necklace around her neck had been made by Jeremy himself. Did Owen make the one in her hand?
The rain was so heavy that they could hardly see straight. Owen sat in the back seat in the dark. His eyes were as clear and
bright as jade as if they had been washed by cold summer rain. As soon as he closed his eyes, the image of Hailey in a costume
popped into his head. Gentle and elegant, she looked like she had been three years ago when she came to him, but she seemed
to have changed a lot. In fact, she hadn’t changed. For the past three years, she had been gentle and had hidden her arrogance
in front of him. Now she hid her gentleness and showed her edge. Jose kept chattering beside him, “Mr. Moore, did you talk to
Ms. Newman? Why did you come out so soon? What a waste. We have completely offended Chef Clayton this time. How about I
prepare a gift for him and apologize to him? He was terrified and thought we were going to kidnap him...” Owen replied, “You
choose.” Jose turned to ask him worriedly, “You asked me to go to the museum to ask the curator for the colorful porcelain. Mr.
Sharman was so reluctant that he shed tears. Does Ms. Newman know it’s that precious? This colorful porcelain bottle is worth
much more than the four porcelain plates...” “You’re talking too much. you didn’t pay for it,” Owen interrupted him impatiently.
Jade and porcelain were both antiques. Hailey was Master Jade. she must have recognized the colorful porcelain bottle. It didn’t
matter if she knew what it was worth. It was his thought that counted. Owen looked down at his hands. He had been so clumsy

that he had hurt his hand making the necklace. He wished he could give her something he had made with his own hands like she
had made him the gifts. He was inexperienced, so he googled it. They said he had to chase her with his heart. In fact, what he
did to Hailey was far less than what she had done to him. ‘Who gave her the smiley face necklace around her neck? Another one
of her suitors?’
It was getting late and the birthday party was over. Hailey’s brothers planned to go for a drink, but Hailey didn’t join them
because she had to work tomorrow. She drove back to the Garden
of Rose in the green car that Brook had given her with all the gifts, including the colorful porcelain bottle.
Her grandfather had taught her, “Never let go of good things no matter what. You’ll be punished by God for wasting it.” When she
arrived home, the rain had subsided. She tiredly changed her clothes and checked her mute phone before removing her
makeup. There were a lot of unread messages and missed calls, and many of them were from the Moore family. Polly, Benson,
and Gene had all sent her messages wishing her a happy birthday and caring about her health, work, and family. Their
relationship had changed, but Hailey still feli warm. For the past three years, she had survived the loveless marriage because of
them. Hailey thought about it and replied to them. Just as she replied to Benson, he gave her a video call. She answered blankly
and saw Benson’s handsome face on the screen. “Hailey, happy birthday!” “Thanks, Benson, I got your blessing.” The rest of the
Moore family sat on the couch with a cake and sang Happy Birthday to her. “Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you...
Hailey, happy birthday!” Hailey froze with her phone in her hand.
