"Life sentences can be reduced," Justin Kingston said, his hands clasped lightly against his chin as he looked up at her, "but the death penalty only ans reincarnation."
"..." Hailey Hale was speechless, but she seed to understand.
Everything takes ti, it’s a process.
Finn Morgan put his arm around her shoulder and gratefully said to Justin Kingston, "CEO Kingston, we entrust this matter to you. We’ll go back first; her mother is at ho and emotionally unstable."
"Alright." Justin Kingston nodded.
And so, Finn Morgan held Hailey Hale by the shoulder and turned to leave. They took the elevator downstairs.
In truth, Hailey’s thoughts were in turmoil. She was deeply worried about her father and felt as though the sky had fallen. This drastic contrast was sothing she couldn’t accept.
In her heart, her father had always been a great hero to the country and its people.
"I want to go to the bathroom," Hailey murmured in the elevator.
"Okay, I’ll wait for you."
Ding, the elevator stopped, and the doors opened.
Hailey Hale walked towards the restroom, but Finn Morgan was stopped by a director, "Special Assistant Morgan, you’re here?"
"Yes." Finn Morgan nodded to him.
The man exchanged a few pleasantries with him, "I didn’t expect you to get married so suddenly. You used to not even have a single female mosquito around you."
Finn Morgan knew what he wanted to say and wasn’t keen to continue this topic.
Seeing that Finn’s expression wasn’t good, the other person didn’t press further on the personal matter.
Finn Morgan waited there for Hailey.
Hailey had just entered the restroom and closed the door when several female staff mbers gathered around the sink, chatting away—
"Isn’t this Hailey Hale a scam? She married Special Assistant Morgan as the mayor’s daughter, and the next day her father was arrested."
"This surely was a planned marriage. Otherwise, how could they marry so suddenly? Young people today have a fear of marriage!"
"They say the attitude of the Morgan family is quite decent. What else could they do? If they were to hit soone when they’re down, the company’s reputation would plumt!"
"True, it’s such a pity for our Special Assistant Morgan. He’s so excellent, yet he ended up marrying a fallen lady."
"The main issue is the deceit, that part is intolerable!"
Hailey erged from the restroom and stood behind these won, calmly listening to their gossip.
"If I were Hailey Hale, I’d be too embarrassed to show up in public anymore. Having such a father is disgraceful."
"What part of her is worthy of Special Assistant Morgan? Besides having a mayor for a dad, who turned out to be a corrupt official! Hahaha..."
The won laughed to the point of bending over, but when they looked up, they saw in the mirror the girl standing behind them!
One of them was startled and quickly turned around!
Which caused those around to also turn, and now everyone saw Hailey Hale.
"Can’t you marry your beloved Special Assistant Morgan, and it makes you all bitter inside, right?" Hailey Hale tried hard to keep her anger in check.
She lifted the corners of her mouth, "Now’s the perfect ti for you to egg us on to divorce. If you can, split us up. If not, keep your mouths shut."
The young woman’s voice wasn’t loud, but her presence was formidable. After speaking, she walked away.
The won were all left speechless, not knowing why they couldn’t bring themselves to say anything face-to-face.
Everyone also knew Hailey Hale was on good terms with CEO Kingston and President Lane, and now she had married Special Assistant Morgan.
Even without the mayor father, she’s still not soone to be provoked; otherwise, they might lose their jobs.
In the lobby, Hailey walked towards Finn Morgan, and they left the company together.
In the white Maybach, Finn Morgan was driving, and Hailey sat in the passenger seat.
She turned her gaze to the scenery outside the window, disrupted by passing vehicles, "I need to pull myself together. I still have my mom, and I need to help my dad take care of her."
Hearing this, Finn Morgan felt very comforted, "That’s good. As for your father, CEO Kingston will definitely do his best. There might even be good news."
When they arrived ho, Sister May ca out with so snacks, but within sight, Paige was nowhere to be found.
"Where’s my mom?" Hailey Hale asked.
Sister May looked bewildered, glancing around, "She was just on the sofa earlier. She said she wanted sothing to eat; I only went to the kitchen for two minutes..."
