Chapter 458
Haley returned to the banquet hall and continued to socialize with the crowd.
Being beautiful and talented, countless people handed her their business cards.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the guests slowly dispersed from the party.
"Haley, let me take you home," Justin caught up with her and said gentlemanly.
Before Haley could respond, a tall figure walked briskly toward them from the banquet hall entrance.
She turned her head and saw Ivan.
Had this man been here all along?
If she had known, she would have come out earlier.
"Someone is here to pick me up, so you don't have to bother," Haley smiled.
Justin frowned and looked at Ivan. "Haley, what's going on between you and Ivan?"
"Ahem!" Haley awkwardly touched her nose. "Todd and Angela are with the Winston family. I'm going to pick up the children with Mr. Winston."
Justin pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.
Todd and Angela's father is Ivan, and the children live with their biological father. It's not appropriate for him, an outsider, to intervene.
Justin couldn't figure out Ivan, and he didn't know if it was good or bad for Haley to be with him.
"Justin."
Ivan spoke calmly and reached out his hand.
Justin shook his hand. "Ivan, please take care of Haley. She has been through a lot in these years."
Haley's mouth twitched.
Her cousin misunderstood, thinking that she and Ivan were together!
She thought Ivan would explain a few words.
But the man's voice was deep. "I will. I will take good care of her. Please rest assured."
Maybe it was his steady and powerful voice, or perhaps it was because people from the Winston family were naturally trustworthy, but Justin's tense heartstrings loosened a bit.
He stood at the banquet hall entrance, watching Haley get into Ivan's car.
Once in the car, Haley felt a lot more relaxed.
Spending the night mingling with older adults in various shopping malls had drained her mentally.
"Are you tired?" Ivan asked softly, holding the steering wheel.
Haley leaned back in the back seat and closed her eyes. "Not too much."
After a pause, she continued, "Mr. Winston, do you know Sterling, the president of Vanguard Corporation in Watertown?"
She had thought about it a lot and couldn't shake the feeling that Sterling and Ivan were at least somewhat similar. Her woman's intuition told her that there seemed to be some connection between the two.
Ivan tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
His eyes suddenly darkened. "He was at the celebration tonight as well?"
Haley nodded. "This is the third time I've seen him. Each time, he wore a mask. People at the banquet hall gossip about whether his face is disfigured. Otherwise, they can't understand why a perfectly fine person would often wear a mask."
