Chapter 197 The old man’s words were quite blunt. And it looked like Jason wanted to watch the fun here. Chris and Ava were
leaning side by side on the windowsill, prepared to watch the show, feeling that the scene in front of them was especially like the
king was choosing the prince for his beloved princess. Matthew and Owen both looked sideways, staring straight at Hailey as if
they too were looking forward to her answer. They were both hoping that she would say something about themselves, but they
were also afraid that she would say something about someone else. For a moment, there was some tension. Under the attention
of the crowd, Hailey pointed at Matthew with an expressionless face and said to her grandfather, “This, is not
something good.” The old man didn’t react. She then raised her hand again and said coldly at Owen, “This, is not good either.”
The old man was stunned and then burst into laughter. ” Matthew was about to defend himself, but when he heard Hailey say
that Owen was not an option, he was relieved and laughed loudly.
“Did you hear it, you’re not as good as me.” Owen didn’t feel that Hailey was scolding him, but he went along with her and said,
“I’m not good for you in the first place anyway.” He was a human being, Hailey didn’t bother to talk to them, and she didn’t want
them to disturb her grandfather’s rest and recuperation, so she was about to blast them out with a cold face when the door to the
ward opened once more, and a handsome face popped up. “Jeremy? What are you doing here?” Hailey was slightly surprised
and greeted him, picking up the lunchbox in his hand. Jeremy Britt was wearing a casual outfit and had a clear smile. “I came
over to deliver the meal, just in time to see the old man.” He nodded towards the crowd, with his gaze lightly sweeping over
Matthew and Owen as he approached the bed. “Hello grandpa, I’m Jeremy, I’ve cooked you some food, you can try my cooking
tonight.” Jason was also a big eater and immediately smiled with his eyes glowing. “Yes, yes, Jeremy, right?” In a flash, he
smiled like a matchmaker setting up the blind dates. “Are you a friend of Hailey’s too? How old are you?” Jeremy tilted his head
to look at Hailey, and he meekly replied, “Grandpa, I’m twenty years old, soon to be twenty-one.” “Twenty ...... is a bit too
young.” The old man murmured it, then smiled. “But it is also quite good, if you marry my granddaughter, not to mention all the
money and wealth, you’ll be promised the moon and stars, a never-ending gold mine at your disposal.” << >
The more Jason talked, the more he got excited. Hailey pouted and became serious. “Grandpa!” Jason glanced at his eldest
granddaughter’s face, seeing that she was about to get angry, and he did not dare to say more. “Forgive me, I’ll stop here, in any
case, each of you should fight by your own ability, although this eldest granddaughter of mine has a big temper, she is absolutely
prosperous, the perfect choice for being the life partner.” Owen, Matthew, and Jeremy looked over at Hailey in unison again. She
was completely furious. “What are you looking at? Look again and I gouge your eyes out!” 4 ”
Perfect wife or not, the temper was really big for sure. When the attending doctor came in for a follow-up consultation, he was
shocked to see so many people in the ward and said that the old man needed to recuperate at the moment and asked the crowd
out.
The uninvited guests were all kicked out of the ward, and inside the ward, Chris recalled the scene just now and couldn’t help but
suggest to Hailey, “Ms. Newman, why don’t you consider opening a harem? There will definitely be an endless stream of
applicants.” Hailey gave him a sidelong glance. “Fine, come and be a eunuch in front of my palace, I’ll betroth Ava to someone
else.” Chris wimped out in seconds and immediately took Ava into his arms. “That won’t do, it’s mine!” Ava leaned into his arms
with a blushing face but didn’t push him away. Hailey rolled her eyes at them. “Go get a room for yourselves.”
Jason was still a bit dizzy and shaky. The doctor said these were normal after surgery, and told Jason to pay more attention to it
and rest well,
When Hailey saw off the doctor, she found the three of them still outside the ward and didn’t leave, and she immediately pulled a
long
“You guys, do you want to stay and let me take care of you?” Matthew went along, “It’s not impossible.” “Get lost!” shouted
Hailey. Matthew was so frightened that he pulled Jeremy over to him and hid behind him, poking his head out. “If you have such
a temper, you won’t be able to find someone who can put up with it.” She glared at him, and he immediately fled, shouting as he
ran. “It’s okay, I love your temper. If you have a harem, remember to include me in it, I don’t mind sharing a wife with another
man.”
Hailey felt that there was something seriously wrong with him. If she really had a harem, he would be the first one to be
castrated! Seeing Hailey’s face, obviously furious and already impatient to the extreme, Jeremy didn’t dare to stay any longer,
said goodbye to her and went back to the restaurant to continue his work. The only one left was the bold and silly Owen Moore.
“Is the old man all right?” He asked softly. Hailey felt heavy and she was holding her breath but remembering that this man had
saved the old man in time, she suppressed the fire
inside her and said in a light voice, “Yes, the old man is too old to go through all the troubles.” At this point, she suddenly
remembered something she had forgotten to ask “How did you end up in the Garden of Rose? I heard from Lily that you had
handed in an invitation?” Knowing that she must have asked this question, Owen did not want to hide it from her. “Yes. I was
paying a visit to Mr. Jason as the apprentice of Wiselie Sharman’s and wanted to seek a chance to work together.” Hailey
abruptly knitted her brows.
Eating the dinner that Jeremy brought over, Hailey asked Jason again about Owen coming to the Garden of Rose to seek his
cooperation. Jason said, “Owen and me, we go back a long way. He is Wiselie Sharman’s apprentice and Jacob Moore’s
grandson, so to put it this way, he is like my own grandson.”. The old man loved to reminisce about the past, but this was the first
time Hailey had ever heard his grandfather talk about it. . “At that time, I, Wiselie Sharman, and Jacob Moore were like-minded,
and we became brothers, and called ourselves ‘The Three Swordsman’. I was good at carving, Wiselie was good at appraisal,
and Jacob was good at working on the prototype. But because of the money we made, we offended a lot of people, and there
was a time when everyone wanted to get back at us.” Jason lamented and added, “Now we are old, so while our bodies are still
fit, we should work what we can and leave behind a few masterpieces.” He didn’t hide from Hailey that Owen had asked him to
collaborate on a project to restore broken jade remnants. “I wonder if it conflicts with the project you are working on?” The old
man was still more concerned about his granddaughter after all. “I know that there are conflicts between Newman Jewelry and
Mazedew Jewelry, if it drags you down and becomes the burden, I will not say yes to the project.” Hailey knew that her
grandfather had always been passionate about jade carving, and in his later years was even more dedicated to restoring
antiques and was absolutely moved by Owen’s proposal. This guy, Owen Moore, was absolutely deceitful and cunning as hell.
He must have learnt about the origin of the three of them back then from Mr. Sharman, and knowing the points of interest to his
grandfather, he simply shifted the direction of the project from Mazedew Jewelry towards the restoration of antiques, playing right
into his hands. And this type of project, the restoration of antiques, was very beneficial to building a good corporate image. It
seemed that the advice she gave to Nate Marson last time, he listened to it. “You should, it’s fine. The project they’re going to do
doesn’t conflict with Newman Jewelry.” Hailey told her grandfather to go ahead and do what he wanted to do without any regrets.
“Then I’m relieved.” Jason breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked at her expression, he felt that something was wrong.
“Hailey, have you and Owen known each other for many years? I think you two look good together, and your personalities
match......” “The two of us are totally incompatible.” Hailey wiped her mouth with the wel towel. The two of us have come to an
end in this life, and there will be no more.”
What do you mean by that?”
Jason felt that this didn’t sound right, and he became possipy again. “You two were a thing? Did you break up?”
“We were never a thing and didn’t split up.”
Jason breathed a sigh of relief. “We’re divorced.” Hailey said, “Grandpa. Owen Moore is my ex-husband.”
Jason almost lost his breath. Ex, ex-husband?!
