Chapter 102
Seeing that something seemed off about him, Lucy straightened up and asked, “What exactly are you u trying to do?
Yasir pinched the bridge of his nose, looking resigned. “Mr. Parker’s inside. I’ll take you in to see him, and you can repeat everything you told me
“What are you talking about?” Lucy was still a but confused.
Noticing the darkening expression on Yasir’s face, she quickly realized. “You mean Hayden doesn’t know Yvonne went overseas to take care of him? That’s impossible. He must know”
Tm not sure.” Yasir replied. “I heard he was in a coma for quite a while, and Joanna was the one taking care of him.
“I think something’s off, which is why I need you to clear things up.” He said it all in one breath, hoping to prevent Lucy from thinking he had
ulterior motives.
It was because of his wild reputation that people got the wrong idea about him that he was some sort of useless troublemaker.
It was a huge misunderstanding.
Lucy didn’t care whether he was misunderstood or not. Hearing that Joanna had also been involved in taking care of Hayden made her feel uneasy, “What does Joanna have to do with this?
“I know Yvonne went overseas, you can check her immigration records if you want
“I trust you and Yvonne, Yasir said, his brow furrowed, wondering. It’s just that. With this new information, Fim starting to wonder if Joanna might be hing
Originally, he didn’t trust anyone, but lately, after working with Yvonne, he had come to believe in her Yvonne wasn’t the helpless person people „made her out to be, nor was she someone with harmful intentions.
Not only him, but even Hayden had started to see me in a new light.
Lucy thought about it for a moment, then suddenly stopped arguing. She got our of the car. “Where is he? Take me there right now!
Yasir didn’t say anything more. He shut the car door and led her into the bar.
Meanwhile, in the VII room at the bar, today was a party organized by Nevin.
At the Parker residener, Hayden had been left feeling awkward after my outburst. The atmosphere was thick with tension, and Nevin, not wanting to stay home, had insisted on dragging Hayden out
He called up a bunch of friends, both men and women, to lighten the mood and hopefully take Hayden’s mind off things.
“Well Hayden, how’s it going? Are you happy? Nevin asked as he poured Hayden a drink, his eager expression almost begging for praise.
Hayden wasn’t interested in the people around him. He took the drink mechanically, his face dark as he took a sig
The burning liquid slid down his throat, waking up every nerve in his body.
But no matter how much he drank, he couldn’t shake the image of my angry face from his mind,
her stubbornness, everything about her pulled at his soul
Her anger. Hier
He couldn’t understand it. He wondered if I had somehow cast a spell on him.
Otherwise, how could be constantly be thinking about her!
Nevin had been waiting for Hayden to praise him, but when it didn’t come, he grew inpatient and asked directly, Hayden, what’s going on with
Hayden looked up at him, about to say something, wien las phone vibrated.
i was Richard calling.

Chapter 102
“Mr. Parker, we’ve confirmed in. Mrs. Parker did indeed go abroad this year, during the time you were in a coma,” he reported:
The simple words caused Hayden’s face to darken instantly. “What was she doing abroad?”
“We’re not sure yet. Richard replied. “Mrs. Parker didn’t have a bodyguard with her, and she kept a low profile. It’s hard to track down.”
Hayden ground out the words through clenched teeth. “Keep digging”
“Yes, sir.” Richard responded quickly, clearly anxious not to upset Hayden further.
As soon as the call ended, Hayden’s face was as dark as thunder.
Nevin felt the intense, unspoken tension in the air.
He instinctively shrank back, knowing it was time to make himself scarce.
Hayden wasn’t in the best of moods. Talking with him now would be like walking into a disaster
Just as Nevin was preparing to sneak away, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
Yasir entered, pulling Lucy behind him. After scanning the crowd, he quickly made his way over to Hayden,
Hayden of course, noticed their presence immediately. His eyes narrowed dangerously,
“What are you doing here?” 1
he asked, directing his words at Incy,
It was no secret that Lucy was close to me. Given that she came, Hayden couldn’t help but wonder if I was also here
Once that thought crossed his mind, he felt a slight flutter of hope in his chest
Unconsciously his
gare shifted to look behind Lucy
Would Wonne show up? he thought
Lucy had no idea what Hayden was thinking at that moment. She never experied Yasir to actually drag her in to confront Hayden.
Judging by Hayden’s expression, he didn’t seem happy.
All the bold words Lucy had spoken earlier in defense of Yvonne pected to fly right out of her mind
“What do you care why I’m here she stammered, her words faltering.
It wasn’t that she was afraid, but the cold, threatening aura around Hayden was almost unbearable.
Yasir, who had heard Lucy cunse just moments ago, had assumed she would only talk like that behind Hayden’s back. Yasir hadn’t expected her to speak so boldly in front of Hayden as well.
Yasir thought to himself, silently giving Lucy a thumbs–up, Quite impressive!”
Nevin, on the other hand, stared wide–eyed. But his look wasn’t one of admiration. It was one of anger.
“Who do you think you are, talking to Hayden like that Are you looking for trouble?” he roared.
Nevin seldom uw Lucy before, and with the dim lighting in the bar, he didn’t immediately recognize her.
Luty gathered her courage and shouted. “T Yvonne’s friend! I’m here to stand up for her. The Parker family is going too fart
Her words immediately drew the attention of t the people around them.
Everyone gathered around out of curiosity
“Look! Someone’s daring to stand up to Mr. Parker?
“Yvonne‘ Who‘ tur?
“Yotine? I knew it. This is Lucy, Yvonne’s best friend. Looks like she’s here to stir up trouble,”
Realizing the scene was drawing too
too much attention. Nevin quickly waved his hand. “Everyone, move along! Stop staring
