Chapter 333 Hailey is released from prison.
The news regarding Oliver setting off fireworks for Natalie spread rapidly.
Many expressed admiration for Oliver's romantic gesture and envied Natalie for her good fortune.
Some people also commented that the rumors were misleading, saying that Oliver was not as ruthless and heartless as rumored.
Natalie was unaware of these discussions until she arrived at the airport. After the fireworks display, she and Oliver had spent the remainder of the night in each other’s arms, so she only got up at noon. She was rather busy preparing for over twenty auditions that she did not go on the Internet at all.
At the RK Group, in the President's Office, after Natalie left, Susan found Oliver at his office. She sat across from Oliver and asked with a hint of flirtation, “I want a New Year gift. Can I have one?”
"What do you want?" Oliver asked without looking up from his documents. The organization of the fireworks display and subsequent days spent with Natalie had resulted in a backlog of work.
Susan hesitated, stealing a glance at Oliver before mustering the courage to say, "I want you to let someone go"
"Who?"
"Hailey."
The previously calm expression on Oliver's face hardened instantly. He frowned and replied firmly, "No."
"Hailey once saved my life. When I visited her in prison, I discovered she was ill. I have to repay the life-saving debt no matter what, right?”
Actually, Susan's visit to the prison was not a gesture of friendship toward Hailey, but rather to strike a deal.
After an agreement was reached, Susan had hoped to secure Hailey's release under the pretense of seeking external medical treatment. However, when this plan was met with resistance, she had no choice but to seek Oliver's help.
"Just this once, help me. After this, I promise not to meddle in anything concerning Hailey, regardless of what happens. I know she has conflicts with Nat… your wife. But Hailey has already been punished, right? Don't you care about me anymore because you have Natalie now?” Susan made her case to Oliver, blending emotional appeal with reasoning.
In order to get him to agree, she also did not hesitate to refer to Natalie as Oliver’s wife. Apart from that matter with Arthur, this was the first time she had begged Oliver for something.
Susan continued to talk, and Oliver, growing increasingly frustrated with the noise, eventually gave in and said with a sigh, "Call Charles in."
"Thank you! You’re the best!" Susan exclaimed, her smile wide with excitement.
She saw this as an opportunity to hug Oliver under the pretense of expressing her gratitude, but he stepped back, neatly avoiding the hug.
Susan's smile faltered, feeling aggrieved. “Can’t I hug you? We’re like family after all.”
Oliver responded firmly, "Susan, I have a wife now."
In that moment, Susan felt a pang of sorrow. At the same time, she wondered, ‘Does he know that his wife isn’t his original fiancée?’
At Paykston's First Prison, Susan and Hailey had orchestrated a plan that painted a grim picture of Hailey's health, suggesting organ failure due to the administration of specific drugs.
Leveraging her connection with Oliver, Susan ensured Hailey's release for external medical treatment.
Months of imprisonment had taken a significant toll on Hailey, making her appear a decade older. Her complexion was pallid, her body gaunt, her hands rough, and dark circles lay heavy under her eyes, with bruises marring her skin.
Upon entering the car, Susan chose to sit at a distance from Hailey.
Hailey smiled indifferently, her self-esteem and pride long eroded. "You want me to make this public? That I was the one originally engaged to Oliver and that Natalie stole the position of Mrs. Windsor from me?”
