Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 254

It was the first time her son had ever yelled at her to her face. She knew she was in the wrong, but more than that, she was hurt.

Cradling Hailey, she mumbled and pouted unhappily. "You can't talk to your mother like that. We were just trying to help the family…"

"Help the family?" Benedict's eyes were red as he pointed at Hailey and Logan. "The Wynn family already suffered a massive blow after losing the investments and partnerships from Titancrest Group and NovaForge Capital! And now, you two... cozying up to that Adrian, playing some 'Overdrive Challenge' with him at the Apex Horizon Speedway."

"Now, the Cole family has casually dumped half the debt on our heads and is demanding immediate repayment. With such high daily interest, we couldn't pay it back even if we mortgaged the entire family! Isn't the Wynn family's situation chaotic enough as it is?!"

Scolded like this, Hailey's face went pale, and she felt incredibly wronged.

She had only been trying to secure her hold on her fiancé, Adrian, for the family's sake.

If she could just marry him.

The interests of the Cole and Wynn families would inevitably become entangled. Then, the Coles would have to help the Wynns resolve their current crisis, creating a win-win situation.

Hadn't she been working hard for the family too?

It felt like he was blaming her for everything.

Hailey was practically dying from the injustice of it all, but she didn't dare let it show on her face.

She knew full well that if she wanted to continue living as a wealthy heiress, she had to rely on her older brother, the family's business prodigy.

Everyone followed her gaze.

They saw a black Maybach speeding toward them out of the darkness, its unique license plate a blatant symbol of its owner's place at the pinnacle of Vaelion City's hierarchy.

It was... the car belonging to Nicholas, the heir of Vaelion City's Blackwood family!

Marianne's mind instantly started racing. She threw an arm around Hailey's shoulder, her voice trembling with excitement. "Hailey, that's the heir to the Blackwood family! The Blackwoods... are one of Vaelion City's top families! Compared to Mr. Blackwood, that wimp Adrian is nothing!"

"You're so beautiful. If you go over there and plead with Mr. Blackwood, what if... what if you catch his eye? Whatever the Blackwood family lets slip through their fingers would be enough for you to hit the jackpot!"
