Chapter 75 Investigate Her
Emily took Owen's things and went straight to the Winston family. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Keith walking out with a cold expression.
"Keith," Emily approached him quickly.
"Mother," Keith politely greeted her, "Owen is in the bedroom. It's best for you not to go upstairs."
Wherever Owen was, Emily would avoid going there. Owen had never regarded her highly, so she wouldn't willingly subject herself to humiliation.
Emily handed the things in her hand to Alfred and said softly, "Keith, there's something I'd like your help with."
Keith pursed his lips. "Please tell me."
"Keith, I know your father has connections. Could you ask those people to investigate Haley." Emily sighed, a touch of sadness in her expression.
"Haley is now the third largest shareholder of the DeRoss Group, and her every move affects the stock price... But this morning, I saw a little girl calling her 'mom'... She isn't married, how could she have a child?"
Keith narrowed his eyes. "Mother, you want me to investigate Haley's private life?"
"Her life is closely related to the DeRoss Group, and it's better, if your grandfather, prepares in advance by finding out early," Emily sighed softly, "I know this puts you in a difficult position. Forget it, I'll send someone to investigate on my own."
"Fine, I'll help you investigate." Keith nodded indifferently.
"You're going too far!" Owen suddenly appeared downstairs, glaring angrily at the two in front of him, "What does it matter to you whether Haley is married or has a child? It's illegal for you to pry into someone's private life! I'll have the police arrest you, wicked witch!"
He rushed over in anger and gave Emily a hard push. Emily, wearing high heels, stumbled back a step, holding onto the railing to steady herself. She said in a frightened voice, "Owen, what did you just say?"
Haley? Did she hear it wrong?
Owen, this mischievous troublemaker of a child, always shouted at her, calling her a bad woman or a witch. How could Owen know who Haley is? Emily's face was filled with disbelief as she squatted down and firmly gripped Owen's shoulders.
"When did you meet Haley? She has ulterior motives against the DeRoss family, she came back this time to retaliate against me! Owen, you're my son, the child I carried for ten months. She approached you to get to me! Owen, wake up and don't be deceived by that despicable woman!"
"YOU'RE the despicable one!" Owen forcefully pushed her away. This time, he used all his strength, catching Emily off guard, causing her to fall backward.
"Owen, what are you doing?!" Keith yelled angrily. To insult his mother and lay hands on her, how did his little brother turn out like this?
"Owen, I'll count to three, help Mother up," Keith said sternly.
"I won't!" Owen stubbornly lifted his chin, "You want to plot against Haley, then you're my enemy! I don't want anything to do with you anymore! Hmph!" He turned around and stomped upstairs.
It felt as if someone had grabbed hold of Emily's heart, and fear engulfed her from all sides. How cunning of Haley, she had just come back and yet she managed to make Owen change like this. Was this the entanglement between biological mother and son?
Emily looked up, her trembling lips opening, "Keith, have you met Haley... Have you?"
“Are you... afraid?"
