Chapter 153 Fool “It’s her!” Owen suddenly got up, startling the collector, who turned to look at Jose in confusion. “What’s wrong with Mr. Moore?” Jose thought, ‘He’s crazy.’ But he didn’t dare to say that. In fact, Owen had changed since the divorce. He used to be aloof and calm, but now he was impulsive. As his assistant, Jose had gotten
used to it, Hailey was the cause, of course. Without explaining to them, Owen couldn’t wait to lift the cloth off the work on the right. This one was completely different from the one
just now, but it was still ingenious and impressive. The collector couldn’t resist introducing it to them, “This work by Master Jade is a miracle of offcuts. It’s called Rain, and it’s carved out of the offcut of a blue and white porcelain bracelet. It was originally a piece of scrap, but Master Jade saw the beauty in it and turned it
into a beautiful painting of rain. Look, it’s as lifelike as a photograph.” Jose stared at the statuette. It looked so familiar to him. He turned to Owen and asked, “Mr. Moore, why do I think it looks like Poyaland Lane? Do you remember? You were beaten there with a bag over your head…” He didn’t finish because Owen’s face darkened. Owen had already recognized it. He had touched every brick in Poyaland Lane. As soon as he lifted the cloth, he recognized the statuette as Poyaland Lane next to Savory Restaurant! He narrowed his eyes coldly. She had tricked him again! When he saw Calming the Waves in her office and when he got the rose seal from her, he suspected Hailey was Master Jade, but he dismissed the idea as soon as it came out. Maybe he subconsciously didn’t want to admit it. She was excellent and surprised him over and over again… No! She shocked him. ‘Top
hacker, top chef, and top jade carver. How do you have so many skills? Are you really only twenty-five years old?’
turned and went to the cloakroom. Eliza bit her lip. She couldn’t believe that the man who had loved her so much had really been so cruel as to abandon her. She followed him into the cloakroom. In the spacious and luxurious cloakroom, Owen went straight to the southernmost closet and pulled it open. It was full of shirts, suits, and ties of different colors and styles that Hailey had prepared for him and that he had barely worn. The cabinet against the wall held citis she had given him. Owen held his breath and felt inexplicably frustrated, Except for the rose seal and the limited edition pen, the gifts looked unimpressive. Cufflinks of sapphire, a statuette of him carved out of southern red agate, a Buddha bead made of rosewood, a button made ol jade, a bookmark of a lotus leaf carved out of gold… He had thought a while ago that Hailey had spent a lot of money on them. He hadn’t realized that she had carved them herself. She must
have put a lot of effort into them… “Owie. this red statuette looks like you.” As Owen stared blankly, Eliza came in and reached for the statuette, but Owen frowned and yelled, “Don’t touch it!” She was startled and the statuette fell from her hand to the floor in two pieces.
