Chapter 4
Chapter 004 I Came To Take Your Lives As they said, a new broom swept clean. As soon as Hailey returned to Crystaldale, she caused quite a commotion. The biggest shake-up took place for the management-level staff.
Hailey replaced dozens of senior executives, including the directors and managers that showed up with Morgan and Reid to intimidate her onher first day. Many gathered at Morgan's office in the morning.
Some were kicking and slamming the tables and chairs, while some were yelling at the top oftheir lungs.
"I don't care.
I have worked in Crystaldale Company for many years! Even if I don't have many achievements, I have poured my blood, sweat, and tears into the company.
How can you fire me? You Newmans better give me an explanation.
Why must I be sacrificed for what's between you and your niece! Why?" The others were demandingan explanation too.
Their faces were red, and their saliva sprayed on Morgan's face.
They revealed their selfishness that was once hidden under their elegant exterior.
The noise made Morgan's head buzz.
"Everyone, calm down.
Calm down..." Reid sat in the corner, playing with the new beaded bracelet that he adored.
He looked like a carefree prince who had nothing to do with everything happening around him.
Anyway, he would remain as the vice-chairman.
He didn't care as long as they weren't complaining about him.
Morgan tried his best to appease his old mates, but inside, he was also calm.
No matter what Hailey did with the staff, his interest would not be affected as long as he wasstill the chairman.
In fact, Hailey showed him the list of personnel changes, and they discussed it.
"Uncle Morgan, Crystaldale is not like before.
Our family does not have the resources to keep those not useful to us.
I have spent almost all my savings to save the company.
If we continue to let them corrupt the company's interests, am afraid we will have to sell the properties.
As far as I know, you and Uncle Reid have just bought a piece of land in the northern Suburbs and areplanning to build a golf course..." Hailey said to him. Once one's interests were brought up, he couldn't stay casual as before.
So did Morgan.
Upon his hearing what Morgan said, his expression changed, and he immediately agreed to the list of employers that would have to fire.
He agreed with Hailey that they shouldn't waste their resources on freeloaders.
Hailey was unwilling to argue with those old fellows.
In any case, evil people had their own ways to deal with evil people.
After leaving the group, she directly returned home.
The Shadowplains Mansion was also called the Garden of Rose because it used to be a rose garden.
Hailey and her mother loved roses, so her father, Scott Newman, bought this land and built a manor as their residence.
After not coming back for three years, Hailey felt a little nervous.
Was it because of the homesickness? She had been reckless and willful in the past few years forlove.
She couldn't help but wonder if her parents would be mad at her when watching her from the heavens. It was April now.
The roses of the Poya had already reached their flowering period.
The climate in the North City was colder than that of the Poya.
When she left the Moore's Mansion, the roses had not bloomed.
Hailey's eyes darkened.
Her heart still ached whenever she thought of Owen, as if someone was skinning her alive.
Since she had decided to leave, she had to try to forget him.
The car drove into the manor.
Hailey could not wait to see the roses.
When she got out of the car, she found that the roses her father had planted had disappeared, replaced with peonies and weeds. Raw anger shot through her.
Not only did they take her house, but they also destroyed her rose garden! Did those jerks think shewas dead? Chuckles sounded nearby. Hailey turned and saw two girls walking out of the manor, chattering and smiling.
They were dressed exquisitely, each holding a man in their hands.
The woman in the front was wearing a white lace dress and a diamond crown-shaped hairpin.
She tiptoed and kissed the man in broad daylight, as if no one was there.
The man noticed Hailey standing not far away and pushed the woman.
When he saw who was coming, he immediately changes his face, and almost fell from the steps.
He staggered to the ground, as if she had seen a ghost.
He pointed at Hailey and stammered in a panic, "H-Hailey!" The other three looked over and paled with fright when they noticed Hailey.
They covered their mouths as Eve screamed, "Are you a human or a ghost?" Hailey was dressed in white, standing in the peonies.
Her eyes were cold, and she smiled at them with ridicule.
Her voice was gloomy and eerie.
"One will not feel guilty if he does nothing wrong.
I came to take your lives, Luca and Eve.
