NovelEnglishChapter 353 I held my breath.
In the next second, another familiar voice reached my ears, "Jacqueline, I really don't want to be here. I just want to see Rad. If you let Rad see me, I'll leave and cause no trouble." It was Haley.
She had actually shown up! She was here for Conrad.
I had called Conrad, thinking he would get in touch with Haley. It seemed I was mistaken.
This woman really had nerve, daring to show up at the Wagner family's doorstep.

"Jacqueline, not at all. I just want to see Rad," Haley's tone remained innocuous and weak.
There's a saying that looks can be deceiving, and it couldn't be more accurate.
The first tI saw Haley, I thought she looked so innocent, as if her presence made the world a cleaner place by several degrees.
However, I was slapped hard by reality.
"Conrad isn't here, as I've told you," Jacqueline's voice grew louder, agitated.
"I know he's not here," Haley's voice remained calm and measured.
Jacqueline didn't have her composure; though not exactly explosive, she couldn't tolerate any disrespect, "So what, you think I'm hiding him?" Haley silently consented.
Jacqueline laughed scornfully, "Your curiosity really knows no bounds. No wonder Felicia Hudson couldn't outplay you. Now I see why my son would choose you over Felicia, a lady superior to you in every way, preferring a young widow like yourself." Her words were harsh, mocking Haley, and inadvertently,as well.
I was considered less than a widow, a label on my failed romance with Conrad.
"Jacqueline, even if you insult or hittoday, I'll take it. But please, letsee Rad," Haley changed her strategy.
After several confrontations with her, I had cto understand the calculating heart beneath her innocent facade, full of schemes.

My mother-in-law caused a scene at the hospital recently, my video went viral online, and now I can't even work properly. If I can't see Radi have nowhere left to turn," Haley's votee broke into sobs.
"Don't try to scarewith that," Jacqueline was a woman too; Haley's tricks couldn't fool her.
"Jacqueline, I'm not trying to scare you. I'm serious," Haley said, then fell silent.
A moment later, I heard Jacqueline exclaim in shock, "What are youm doing? Stop that, or I'll call the police."
Hearing the change in Jacqueline's voice, I sensed something was wrong and moved forward to see what was happening. I saw Haley holding a green bottle.
Jacqueline pointed at her, "Put that down, let's talk this through calmly." Hearing this, I knew Jacqueline was intimidated by Haley's threat.
My eyesight was sharp, and I could clearly see the label on the abel on the bottlen Haley was holding-it was a deadly herbicide. Ashburn X
