Chapter 86 Covered in Milk
Haley sighed and touched her daughter's hair, rubbing her forehead with her face.
She looked up at the man sitting at the CEO's desk and softly said, "Thank you, Mr. Winston, for taking care of my daughter."
Playing with the pen in his hand, Ivan's gaze was ice-cold as he said, "If I hadn't happened to encounter her, your daughter might have been lost by now."
"Mr. Winston, why is my daughter at the Winston Group?" Haley pressed her lips together and asked in a calm voice.
She wasn't worried when Todd went out alone, as he was clever and could take care of himself.
But Angela was like a delicate flower raised in a greenhouse, never having left home alone, let alone with a communication barrier. She couldn't understand why Angela would come here.
Leaning back in his chair, Ivan replied coldly, "I also want to ask you that. Your daughter is still so young, how could she come to the Winston Group alone?" There was a hint of probing in his voice.
Haley narrowed her eyes and said, "Mr. Winston wouldn't think that I deliberately sent her here to find you, right?" Ivan's eyes and brows turned cold, but he remained silent.
"While countless women dream of becoming Mrs. Winston, sorry, I'm not interested in being a stepmother," Haley chuckled.
"The incident of my daughter going missing has been reported, and soon the police will come to take Mr. Winston's statement. Let me remind you, that when you find a missing child, you should contact the police as soon as possible, otherwise it might give people the wrong impression that you've kidnapped my daughter!" Her gaze was sharp, like a blade.
Ivan pressed his tongue against his palate and suddenly smirked. He had saved her daughter, yet she still came to threaten him. This woman truly didn't know how to appreciate favors.
He stood up and took a step toward Haley, one after another.
He was a very tall man, when he stood up, he covered most of the ceiling lights. There was a chilling aura about him, as if he was an evil Asura from hell.
Haley took a step back with Angela in her arms. The child in her arms also seemed uneasy and held onto her neck tightly. Ivan continued to approach until he cornered her against the wall.
"Haley, if there's a next time, I will throw your daughter out!" He just wanted Haley to know his bottom line. Little did he expect that as soon as he finished speaking, what would happen.
Angela suddenly turned her head and glared at him forcefully. Then she raised the milk in her hand and poured it on his face with a splash. The sticky milk dripped from his hair, and Ivan's face turned extremely ugly.
This milk was specially ordered by him to appease this little girl, but most of it ended up on his face. He had lived for over twenty years and had never been splashed in the face with milk before.
Haley was also shocked. She never expected Angela to actually lay hands on this man. She quickly hugged her child tightly and took several steps to the side, crouching down.
"Mr. Winston, it's my daughter's fault. I apologize on her behalf. Next time, let me treat you to a meal. Please don't get angry with a child." As she spoke, she kept an eye on Ivan's expression.
She saw the man's face turning colder and colder. Angela seemed to realize that she had made a big mistake and buried her face in Haley's chest, trembling.
"Mr. Winston, I still need to go to the police station to withdraw the missing person’s report. I'll leave now..." Haley took Angela and left.
Ivan raised his hand and wiped his face, covered in milk. When Haley wasn't around, the little girl was clearly very attached to him and needed him around to feel at ease. He had bathed her, washed her hair, dressed her, and blow-dried her hair.
But now, the little girl had splashed a bottle of milk on him.
