There was never a shortage of suitors around Hayley, which was what boosted her standard to an extraordinarily high level. In school that day, the moment she first saw Tony, her heart instinctively started to race. Even though she didn’t know him, she knew at first glance that he was a successful man with a charming and elegant aura. At that time, other students in school didn’t have the same aura because it was something gained after years of experience.
At that moment, she rushed toward him, wanting to confess her love while also asking for his contacts. Of course, she would have loved it if the two of them exchanged contact numbers, but sadly, he seemed to be thinking about something else at that time, so he didn’t notice her at all.
After that, the man never left her mind. Instead, the memory of the scene became much clearer to her as she found out about his name, status, family and career.
Sure enough, he was as successful and extraordinary as she thought he was, but sadly, he already had a fiancee who was rumored to be a divorced woman.
Everytime Hayley thought about it, her brows would frown slightly. A woman like her doesn’t deserve such a talented man like him. However, she never had the chance to meet Tony, so her disdain toward his fiancee wasn’t that strong yet.
She was finally able to meet him because he was involved in a car accident that sent him straight to the hospital where she was placed.
In the beginning, Hayley’s heart was beating frantically as she felt that the world loved her.
“Hayley, can you please take care of the patient in ward 931?” Next to her, another nurse patted her shoulder when walking past her.
Hayley quickly agreed to do so and when she walked past the other nurse, she turned her head and gave her a friendly smile. “Marianne, thank you for giving me many opportunities to do clinical care.”
For a moment, Marianne was startled, but she immediately gave a friendly nod before leaving.
As Hayley glanced at the closed door of Tony’s ward again, her eyes seemed to brighten.
…
Estelle didn’t ask Myra out for something important as it was nothing more than shopping, going to the beauty parlor, and gossiping. At that moment, Tony’s wounds were slowly recovering, so Myra didn’t have to be worried about him all the time. Since Estelle was now looking much different than before, Myra smiled and raised her brows. “What happened to you lately? When did you become so smug? Do you know how picky you were today when buying clothes? Also, look at how many cosmetics you have bought! Aren’t you always proud of yourself that you can handle any style of fashion while being naturally beautiful without the need for cosmetics whenever you aren’t shooting a movie?! Be honest with me.”
Actually, Estelle didn’t need to explain much to Myra because the latter already knew a lot from Tony.
Shawn had previously brought Estelle to the Hart Family to meet the two elders and her brother, Charles, also had a meal with them too. Myra thought, Judging from what Tony has told me, the two of them are already engaged. Even though the wedding date isn’t confirmed yet, it’s obvious that it has massively changed someone. I’m sure of it after looking at what she is doing now.
Therefore, Myra patted Estelle’s shoulder and said, “Be honest with me. Weren’t you unwilling to be together with Shawn previously? How did he conquer your heart in just a few days?”
She understood Estelle’s temperament clearly. It’s impossible to win this wild cat’s heart without using any other means.
However, Estelle rolled her eyes. “What do you mean that he conquered my heart? Wasn’t I the one who pursued him from start to finish? Seeing him obsessed with marrying me, I gave him a chance to satisfy him for the moment.”
“Oh… Looks like you are the one giving him a chance to marry you. He really is a lucky guy. Not many men could get such a chance from the great Miss Langley.” Myra tried to hold back her laughter.
Estelle grunted at her. “Just laugh it out. I don’t have any problems with it. Besides, I’ve seen everything clearly. Shawn has already raised my standard on men to its highest peak. Rather than finding a man better than him in the future, it’s better for me to use him for now. When I finally get to see a better man one day, I’ll just dump him and pursue a new one.”
As Estelle smiled proudly, Myra suddenly agreed with her. “You’re right. Shawn is probably thinking the same thing too. Didn’t you also raise his standard on women to its highest peak? When the two of you have finally found your new targets one day, both of you can just break up without any fuss. It sounds like a great idea. No wonder those women in City Hall still haven’t given up on him. I’m sure that they are doing all they can to surpass you one day.”
Then, Myra pretended to sigh while Estelle stomped her feet. “Myra! Why are you now speaking for the Hart Family? You haven’t even married Tony yet!”
“It’s precisely because I’m marrying into the Hart Family, so it’s important for me to have a good relationship with my brother-in-law.” Myra let out a smirk.
“He won’t even dare to look at those women! If he dares to do so, I’ll just castrate him so that no one will cast their eyes on him!”
“Pfft!” Myra could no longer hide her laughter. At the same time, the car arrived outside the beauty parlor, so Myra dragged Estelle out of the car and into the shop. “Look at how hypocritical you are. It’s obvious that you love Shawn very much inside your heart, but you just won’t say it out loud. Let me give you some advice—if you can obey him a little, he won’t even bat an eye at a naked international beauty contestant, let alone those women in City Hall.”
“Myra, your mouth is now becoming more unrestrained. It’s no surprise since you are now with one of the monsters from the Hart Family.” Estelle felt a little gloomy when she realized that Myra was speaking in a similar tone to Tony. As she rolled her eyes, she swayed her hand backward before dragging Myra into the beauty parlor. “Let’s see if you’ll still be this arrogant later on!”
When they entered the parlor, an attendant came up to guide them, but Estelle waved her hand and rejected his help. Since they were regular customers, they didn’t need anyone else to show them around.
She immediately dragged Myra to a room in the corner of a garden.
Inside the room, there were already two beauticians who looked honest waiting for them. As they were about to speak upon seeing Estelle and Myra entering, Estelle placed her index finger on her lips and quietly shushed them. “Please be quiet later on and don’t open the door.”
Even though the two beauticians were confused, they nodded their heads in agreement.
Myra was obviously confused, but Estelle shoved a clean towel and bathrobe into Myra’s hands before dragging her into the bathroom. “Don’t ask me yet. You’ll know about it later on.”
Therefore, Myra could only follow her. Since I’m here, I should try and relax for the moment.
After taking a shower and steaming in the sauna, the two of them returned to the room.
At that moment, the beauticians were giving two people an oil spa. Myra instantly understood Estelle’s intentions. The room is completely separated from everything else in the garden, which means that it’s not as soundproof as the other connected rooms. There were roughly three or four women in the room and every word of their conversation had perfectly reached their ears…
“Have you heard that Gemma from the Walton Family quarreled with Mr. Hart a few days ago, so she rammed him with a car in the end? Now, Mr. Hart is still in the hospital. At first, the Hart Family wanted to sue Gemma, but Old Master Walton agreed to send Gemma away from Bradfort City, so the situation has cooled down.”
