Chapter 561
After Haley said that, she left the conference room with Ariana.
When the others in the conference room dispersed, Ava couldn't control her anger anymore. She raised her hand and fiercely slammed a stack of documents on the ground.
"Ava, you better not challenge Ms. DeRoss," Craig said, lighting a cigarette. "Let's not discuss Ms. DeRoss's strength for now. You know, she's going to marry into the Winston family tomorrow. She'll be Ivan's wife from then on. If possible, I think you should make friends with Ms. DeRoss. That will only benefit you."
Ava gritted her teeth in anger. "Mr. Morris, you promised my mom that you would get Haley out of here, but now I've had to apologize to her in front of all those people, and I've been embarrassed! I don't care. You must find a way to get her out of this project."
Craig blew out a smoke. "She has a good reputation now. It's not the right time to kick her out. Just wait a bit longer."
Ava was extremely frustrated. When would she be able to get Haley out?
Ava had gone to see Bark yesterday and received some news: Bryan also intended to compete for the position of heir to the Lumi family.
Bryan was the only bloodline of the Lumi family. As an outsider, she had no chance if he wanted to compete for the heir position.
She had to firmly be in charge of this project to make Bark believe that she was more suitable for the position of heir than Bryan.
Haley had just left the Vanguard Corporation when she received a call from Madam Martinez.
"Haley, you're getting married tomorrow. You can't stay overnight at the Winston family tonight," Madam Martinez said sternly, "According to the wedding customs of Watertown, the bride should be at her own home the day before. I'll send Steven to pick you up and bring you to the Martinez family."
Haley touched her nose. "I’m sure I don’t have to go home."
"It matters, of course!" Madam Martinez insisted. "Back then, I couldn't stop Sankar. She met your father, Carl, the night before her wedding, and passed away shortly afterward. In short, Haley, you must listen to me. I can't let the same tragedy happen to you."
After a few seconds of silence, Haley pursed her lips. "I'll go to the Martinez family now, Grandma."
She wondered if Madam Martinez had been blaming herself all these years for not following the customs, which had led to Sankar's early departure from this world.
Haley decided to agree and fulfill Madam Martinez's long-standing wish.
Haley called Ivan.
The Winston family.
After Ivan answered the phone, his mood was very low.
After experiencing that feeling, he had to hold Haley every night to fall asleep these days.
But today, Haley wasn’t coming back.
Brenda approached him and said, "Madam Martinez does have some experience due to her age. It is a rule that the bride and groom shouldn't meet the day before the wedding. We should follow the traditional customs for the wedding."
Ivan agreed. Although the wedding was being rushed, he pursued perfection.
He controlled every aspect and every detail.
Brenda hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Ivan, Martin contacted me last night."
Ivan's eyes narrowed. "What did he say?"
"Martin wished you a happy wedding and also said..." Brenda clenched her fingers and hesitated for a long time before continuing, "He also said he wanted to attend the wedding."
Ivan rubbed his fingers. "Then please tell Martin that I won't let him step foot into the wedding venue, because he doesn't deserve that."
