In her past life, at that extravagant banquet thrown by the Dalton family. Hailey had been humiliated and bullied

by others.

Back then, she was a scared little mouse, too terrified to even think about standing up for herself.

The Dalton family members watched her suffer, and instead of offering help, they shamelessly berated her in

front of all the guests.

From that moment on, the nHailey Dalton beca running joke in Hallon City.

It was also at that sbanquet where Selena, pretending to care, offered a few half-assed pleas for help.

Of course, it didn’t do a thing, but back then, Hailey, in her naive innocence, actually thought of Selena as a

good sister and followed her around like a lost puppy.

As Hailey thought back to all that, a cold, deadly gleam flashed in her eyes.

She took her twalking over to a quiet corner, sipped her orange juice, and after finishing half of it, grabbed a

delicate piece of cake.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a few guys heading her way

Here they come.

Knowing full well that the ballroom wasn’t the right place to deal with this, Hailey deliberately stood up and

started heading toward a quieter part of the venue.

The three guys immediately followed her.

The place was huge, and tucked away at the back was a small pool. The area around the pool was surprisingly

quiet, a sharp contrast to the chaos and noise in the main hall.

Hailey casually walked toward the poolside. The men picked up the pace, quickly catching up with her.

“Hey, Miss Dalton, one of them called out.

Hailey turned around. pretending to be confused, her face innocent as she asked, “What do you want?*

The guys blocked her path, and one bold jerk reached out to touch her shoulder.

Hailey effortlessly dodged his disgusting hand, acting shocked as she asked, “What the hell are you guys trying

to do?”

“Relax, Miss Dalton, the blonde guy said with a sleazy grin, his eyes full of gross intent. “We just wanna be

friends.”

The guys closed in, cornering her. Suddenly, the blonde guy lunged for her chest.

That was when Hailey’s innocent look completely disappeared. Without hesitation, she kicked him square in the

balls.

The guy gasped in pain, dropping to the floor and clutching his groin. “Holy shit, that hurts like hell!

Taking advantage of the other two guys being frozen in shock, Hailey moved fast. She slammed her knee into the

sto

guy on her left and slapped the guy on her right hard across the face.

The men staggered back, groaning from the unexpected pain.

But Hailey wasn’t done. She grabbed the two men by their hair and dragged them toward the pool.

It was almost unreal how strong she was. The two large men, no matter how hard they tried to pull away, could

escape bee iron grip. They were practically dragged, their scalps stinging from her pull

Thud- Thud-

With two heavy splashes, Hailey unceremoniously kicked both of them into the pool.

The summer heat was oppressive, but the pool water still had a slight chill from the cool of the night.

The temperature wasn’t sweltering, but as the night sky sank lower and the air got cooler, getting shoved into

the water out of nowhere still made you shiver uncontrollably.

Hailey glanced at the guy still standing at the poolside, a teasing smile curving her lips as she arched a brow.

“You gonna jump in yourself, or do you wantto give you a little nudge??

Under the pool lights, her face was flawless, her voice soft and almost ethereal, but it was enough to make

shiver when their eyes locked. It was like he was afraid of her.

“L... I'll jump,” he stammered, clearly nervous, his steps shaky as he inched toward the edge. He took a deep

breath leaped into the pool.

The next second, the three big guys were all drenched.

Hailey stood there by the pool, looking graceful and elegant in her gown, her hair styled to perfection.

On the outside, she looked calm and composed, but when she spoke, her words were ice-cold. “Consider this a

little warning If | ever catch you bullying someone weaker than you, I'll make sure you never have a chance to

pass on your genes”

The three guys turned white as ghosts, nodding in sync, silently agreeing that Hailey was not someone to mess

with

Hailey let out a slight smirk, then turned and walked away with effortless elegance.

From the shadows, Owen leaned casually against the wall, his handsome, aloof face breaking into a sofi, amused

smile. He'd been looking for a quiet spot to take a call, but had accidentally stumbled into a live show.

This little liar claims she’s being bullied by the Daltons? With that attitude, it’s no surprise she’s the one doing

the bullying He thought to himself. Though, she’s not completely stupid, I'll give her that

“Yo, bro, are you even listening?” cthe voice from the phone.

Owen replied calmly, That's it. Got stuff to do.”

Jaden caught the hint right away. “What's more important than the new project at work?” His gossip radar was

pinging, and he could sense something juicy

Owen didn’t even acknowledge him and hung up the phone.

Jaden was left blinking, totally caught off guard. After years of digging up gossip, he knew something was up with

this Dalton family party.

His brother, who never bothered with these pointless events, had actually shown up tonight. And while talking

about the company’s new project, Owen had zoned out and straight-up hung up on him

Jaden made up his mind right then-he was going to find out exactly what was going on here. This party was

definitely hiding something

Hailey Dalton had just returned to the banquet hall when her stepmother, Rose, called her over.
