The Billionaire’s Treasure Wife

Chapter 389 : Self-Inflicted



Lindsey didn’t much like prying into people’s privacy, though Hailie was an exception.

She always thought that woman’s brain was clear. Thinking she met Bruce was like a little girl who sees a nice toy and can’t help but want to have it.

It’s not that she never had one, but she wanted something better.

She and Kayden are a class of people, super high IQ, negative emotional intelligence. This kind of person reasoning is useless, you have to use the cruelest method, forcing her to face reality, otherwise, they will always live only in their own world.

Sip the tea, see Larissa half a day not to speak, Lindsey could not help but take the initiative to ask: “How do you know? Did the screenwriter say it herself, or was the woman right there?”

“The scriptwriter also said that Dr. Hailie also came.” Larissa stood up slowly, holding her back, and went to pour herself a glass of milk. “Hector and I came over just in time to run into them getting out of the car.”

“Good-bye or friends, much broader-minded than we are.” Lindsey joked, not focusing on the matter.

Unfortunately, she underestimated Hailie’s olfactory acuity; where they were staying was the VIP area, while the important guests were outside, in the guest area, and the lawn outside the building was prepared for reporters and an interview area.

Because it was a free-for-all barbecue reception, it was more casual.

But then the casual occasion, Hailie barged into the VIP room was also over.

There were several pregnant women in the room, and Lindsey didn’t want to see her freak out here, so she found her entering and immediately invited her out nonchalantly.

“You’re really in!” Hailie glared at her angrily, her face twisted. “Why did you set me up?”

“Set you up?” Lindsey seemed to have heard a big joke, and a teasing smile floated on her lips. “Dr. Hailie, you’re wrong to say that. According to your logic, it’s not even right for me to marry Bruce.”

“I didn’t think of it that way.” Hailie gritted her teeth. “You’re the one who’s paranoid!”

Lindsey thought she might as well be stupid if she stayed behind, after all, brain damage was contagious.

With a soft hum, she turned around and left without any hesitation.

Hailie was irritated by her attitude and angrily reached out to grab her shoulder. “You can’t leave, and you’re not going anywhere until we get this straight.”

Lindsey hadn’t moved for months, her hands were raw, but her strength hadn’t diminished.

If not for the fact that she is also a woman, she is a little bit more force, Hailie’s life, not to mention research, is to serve water and food are problems.

The first thing you need to do is to take the opportunity to retrieve the monitor, Lindsey shook off her hand and looked down to straighten out the wrinkled gown, the thin lips can not help but slightly hook up a cold smile. “I forgot to tell you, I never pull people’s hair in a fight.”

Hailie’s tears of pain were about to fall, and her face instantly turned miserable white at the words. “Savage!”

“I’m barbaric, Bruce still likes me.” Lindsey dropped the words and calmly returned to the VIP room.

Hailie gasped roughly, leaned her back against the wall of the corridor, and slowly, slowly squatted down. “Lindsey, you wait! This matter will not be revealed so easily!”

Lindsey did not hear her murmur, but Burton did.

He pretended to be a gentleman and went over to help her up and brought her back to the guest area, thoughtfully bringing two glasses of wine. “There’s something in this wine, and Bruce will be out with Edward in ten minutes for a toast.”

Hailie’s eyelids fluttered as she looked at the slowly turning dark red liquid in the glasses.

Kaley was pushing her into the fire, but she couldn’t help but do as she was told. One step wrong, one step wrong, she was too high on herself, who would have thought she would fall into someone else’s trap.

At 8 o’clock, the film’s producers held a small launch party, and Edward and Bruce, as investors, also went on stage with the creators.

Hailie’s hands were sweaty with nerves, glancing at the glass of wine every few seconds.

In the VIP room, Lindsey was still chatting with Larissa and the girls, not feeling the slightest hint of danger.

For what just happened, she also just lightly brushed it off, not saying much.

After all, bullying a weak woman who has not even passed the introduction to fighting is not something worth proclaiming.

In their group, they either just had a baby or were preparing to have one, so the words were basically related to childcare.

“I’ve booked Dabao, if the one in my belly is a kid, I’ll be quick to have another one and try to have a daughter, so that Dabao can be my son-in-law.” Larissa rubbed her belly with a maternal glow.

“Yours is definitely a son, and mine is definitely a daughter, and the baby is definitely The Gregor family’s.” Karen idly answered. “It’s not a big deal, I’ll give our Randy family more sons in the future.”

“You don’t have to steal like that, have you forgotten the little one?” Larissa shouted strangely. “Obviously, Little Boy is Lindsey’s son too.”

“Little Boy looks too skinny for that.” Karen didn’t hide her rarity with Big Boy at all. “Dabao looks honest and stable, I like that.”

“It’s not like you’re picking a man for yourself.” Lindsey couldn’t help but interject, how old was her son, and now someone was stealing him.

Karen was not impressed. “Lindsey, you have to know that every woman has a white moon and a rice grain in her heart.”

“Don’t show off there, I bet you give birth to a son, see what you do then.” Larissa was depressed, the son-in-law was also robbed, it should not be ah.

Everyone laughed out loud, only Lily was a little lost, she didn’t care if she had a son or a daughter, she couldn’t rob the eldest and the youngest, inbred ah!

The next step is to eat and drink, and take photos and selfies.

Hailie watched Bruce walk off the stage, and immediately nervously picked up a glass of wine and walked towards him step by step.

Just a glass of wine, he will definitely appreciate it.

Burton said, as long as Bruce drank the wine, let himself find an excuse, let him send himself out, when the drug effect, it is not up to him.

Getting closer and closer, Hailie took a deep breath and stepped forward to stop him in his tracks. “Bruce, this glass of wine, I toast you, I hope you can understand, my previous actions.”

Bruce stopped in his tracks, unconsciously touched his nose, and gracefully accepted the glass. “I hope you won’t bother me in the future.”

Hailie bit her lower lip in embarrassment and nodded sullenly.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Success or failure was at stake, and she couldn’t give away too much emotion, lest he get suspicious. But it was really sad to hear his words.

Bruce didn’t even look at her, tilted his head and drained his wine in one gulp, casually placing it inside the waiter’s tray. “Sorry, my lover is still waiting for me.”

“Wait.” Hailie subconsciously shouted.

“Can I trouble you for one last thing?” Hastily downing the wine in her own hand, she anxiously stepped forward to stop him in his tracks. “Can you walk me out, I’m not too familiar with this place.”

Bruce paused slightly in his steps as he stood tall, his deep eyes narrowed dangerously, his eyes looking at her inquisitively.

If memory serves, she came along with the movie writers and had a nice chat with Burton in the guest room, so there was no question of no one giving her a ride.

Raising his hand to look at the time, Bruce’s expression was clearly a bit impatient. “There’s security right outside, and they’ll be happy to serve you.”

“But I …” Hailie lowered her head and bit down hard on her bottom lip, her voice slurred. “I just want you to walk me out.”

Bruce’s hearing was not what it used to be, so he didn’t hear what she said, but it didn’t stop him from continuing to refuse. “I’m sorry, I’m only giving Lindsey a ride for the rest of her life, but you’re out of the question.”

After the words, he lifted his feet and left without further hesitation, leaving her with a cold, hard back.

Hailie was not convinced, and the moment she raised her head, there was a vague flash of resentment under her bright eyes. “Mr. Grant stay, I still have something important to say.”

Bruce’s footsteps did not stop, for him, the most important thing at this moment is to go to Lindsey, as soon as possible to rush back to Nine Lakes Mountain to accompany his son.

Hailie was furious, and once again without thinking, he stepped forward and stopped him with a cold face. “Do you think the eavesdropping on the researchers of the military research institute has anything to do with treason.”

Bruce was abruptly startled, and slowly turned to look at her, those good-looking and deep eyes instantly went colder and colder, and the tyranny gradually rose.

Blackmail him?

“You send me out, and I’ll pretend this never happened.” Hailie calmly met his gaze, feeling her head getting dizzy and her body getting hot.

The odd sensation woke her up instantly and made her even more desperate for Bruce to take her away.

Burton had put drugs in her drink, too!

Kaley was bound to drag herself into hell this time, and for now, the only one who could save her was Bruce!

“Whatever.” Bruce gradually also feel the body dry and unbearable, look at her gaze can not help but a little more sarcastic. “Don’t you think you’re so low!”

Hailie also wanted to say something, Lindsey did not know when wandered over, sweet take Bruce’s arm. “I want to go home, I want to see Dabao and Xiaobao.”

“Good girl, we’re going back.” Bruce glanced at Hailie, tried to control the hot feeling that was churning in his heart, embraced Lindsey and fluttered away.

He had heard all the conversations she had with the third aunt, not too surprisingly, but he just hadn’t expected that Rodolfo had intervened at the beginning.

This explained why Kayden had suddenly returned.

Hailie was completely dumbfounded, he didn’t care if his wiretapping was exposed, what about her plan?

It was so hard, it was as if there was a fire in her heart that kept burning her sanity.

Stumbling out of the main building, Hailie was stopped by Burton before she could get back to her car. “Dr. Hailie, I saw what just happened, it’s better if I take you back, not this time, we have another chance.”

“You go away, I don’t … want to see you!” Hailie was frightened and pushed him away, his head was getting dizzy, stumbling and continuing to run forward.

Burton looked back at the movie scriptwriter who was running over, his thin lips hooked up a wicked light smile, quickly catching up with Hailie, picking her up horizontally, and instantly disappearing into the darkness.

The car came in and parked in the dark, this moment he really waited for a long time.
