Chapter 369 Turning Over in His Grave

Ryker took her to a high-quality restaurant in the shopping mall, ordered a few appetizing dishes, and said, "Eat. You're so thin that a gust of wind can blow you away."

He looked like a friend who had grown up together with her instead of a subordinate now. Hailey was suffering from a loss of appetite and almost lost her sense of taste. Now, she felt as if her throat were full of cement, so she had difficulty swallowing the food. She ate slowly, but Ryker remained silent without urging her. He poured her a glass of water and handed a napkin to her whenever she needed it, providing good service.

Seeing that she had lost a lot of weight, he felt extremely distressed. He was increasingly regretful now, thinking he should not have taken the initiative to tell Owen that Hailey had had a crush on him for ten years and that she was the girl he had saved back then. If he hadn't shot his mouth off, Hailey and Owen might have long broken up and cut off contact. But what was done was done. And regret was useless. He could only do his work well, share her burden, and let her worry less to help her.

After hesitating for a while, he asked lightly, "I heard they intend to let you take over the position of president of the Mazedew Group?"

Hailey swallowed a mouthful of porridge with difficulty and nodded lightly.

"We have investigated the Mazedew Group, so we are well aware of its situation." Ryker had been thinking about it for many days and wanted to get it out of his chest very much, so he said, "The competition in the market is getting more and more fierce.

If Crystaldale can join hands with the Mazedew Group, it will make a win-win situation with mutual benefit. If you want to take the position, go ahead. Chris and I will take good care of Crystaldale. WeCopyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

have worked with you for so long, so it is time for us to undertake the task by ourselves. We want to share your burden.’

"I don't want to go." Hailey put down the spoon and frowned slightly, "I'm too busy to take care of other people's affairs."

Letting her take over the Mazedew Group was ridiculous, and she had never planned to do such a thing.

Owen wanted to put his responsibilities on her to end his trouble. But why did she have to do him this favor? She did not owe him anything, so she did not need to repay him. But the Moore family was still insisting.

Bob and Benson were hanging out with Brook every day, so they were overwhelmed with joy and completely forgot about their arduous task. Therefore, their fathers soon bit the bullet and came in person.

Wade and Jalen had not entered the Garden of Rose as smoothly as their sons. The Newman family had not made things difficult for them, but it was hard for them to swallow their pride. They had stood outside for a long time to get themselves psyched up but still couldn't knock on the door.

When they had been young, Scott had crushingly defeated them. And they had never expected they would have to swallow the pride and beg Scott's father and daughter in their middle age.

How could this happen to them’? Had they owed the Newman family a lot in their previous lives? When the two men looked up to the sky, their faces were full of bewilderment and despair.

Benson and Bob were sitting in Brook's sports car when seeing their fathers standing at the door from a long distance away.

Immediately, Benson stuck his head out and shouted, "Dad!"

When Wade and Jalen saw their sons gain much weight after staying in Poya for two days, they were furious and thought they were useless. If they had been more capable, Wade and Jalen would not have come here to apologize in person.

Wade and Jalen, why are you standing outside?" Brook got out of the car, spun the car key in his hand, and knowingly asked in a sarcastic tone, "Are you feeling too embarrassed?”

Wade and Jalen got so sullen that they wanted to go back right away. But they still cheekily followed Brook into the Garden of Rose in the end.

Jason was relatively nice to Bob and Benson but cold-shouldered Wade and Jalen. Seeing them coming in, he turned away before they could speak. He would rather go to his study to appreciate the paintings than listen to their nonsense.

Wade and Jalen had no choice but to wait for Hailey until night. The Newman family was polite to them, entertaining them with delicious food and drinks.

When Wade and Jalen drank the tea on the sofa, they felt it refreshed and fragrant.

"The tea is quite good." They did not know what else to say.

Lily replied indifferently, "This herbal tea is produced by our own tea garden. If you like it, you can take some back home when you leave. The herbal tea can relax the muscles, stimulate blood circulation,

and prolong lives. Senior people should often drink it.”

Wade and Jalen’s eyes lit up when they heard this, and they were also surprised. They had not expected Crystaldale to run a tea garden now.

They knew Scott had been capable. After he had founded Crystaldale, he had set foot in various industries and formed a complete and huge industrial chain. But Morgan and Reid had taken over Crystaldale after his death. Due to poor management, it had almost gone bankrupt.

Before they had come, they had not taken the Newman family seriously because they had thought they were struggling to survive now. They had thought taking over the Mazedew Group would be a great opportunity for Hailey. So, they had confidently believed she had refused them to play hard to get.

But after arriving here, they found the food and clothing of the Newman family were low-key but luxurious. They were living like aristocrats! And Lily's words had let them know about Crystaldale's current financial strength.

So, they started to suspect Hailey had pretended to be down and out during the past three years after marrying into the Moore family. It was her camouflage. After all, the rise of Crystaldale could not be so fast! If this was the case, Hailey must be more scheming and capable than they had thought. They had underestimated her for years.

When they were feeling increasingly restless, Hailey came back at night. After a Rolls-Royce stopped at the door, she got off exhaustedly. On the way back, she had taken a nap, and even the driver couldn't bear to wake her up. She was so tired that she couldn't even force a polite smile when seeing Wade and Jalen.

Wade and Jalen soon told her their intentions, basically repeating what their sons had said. They wanted Jason to go back and continue to be in charge of the "Never Lose and Never Forget' project.

Hailey lightly said in a hoarse voice, "It depends on my grandfather's will. I can't order him to do anything. It's getting late. I booked two rooms in a hotel for you. Please go there and rest early.”

She then stood up and added, "If you have time, let Bob and Benson show you around. Poya is beautiful in autumn."

After finishing speaking, she intended to go upstairs. But as soon as she took one step, Wade impatiently shouted from behind, Can you bear to let Owen turn over in his grave?"

Hailey paused her footsteps at the stairs, turned around slowly, stared at him with bloodshot eyes, and said in a hoarse and cold voice, Before you impose moral coercion on me, let me clarify one thing. Owen and I divorced before he died. I am under no obligation to do anything for him now."
