Victoria didn't expect Desmond to say this with such resolution, so she was taken aback. She was about to continue making a scene when Desmond said, "I forgot to tell you one more thing. I'm now working for the Ye family, so if you continue to make things difficult for Haniya, I will let the Ye family do what is necessary, and I won't protect you when the time comes. After all, I promised to take care of you, but that doesn't mean that I will continue cleaning up your mess."
Victoria was in despair when she heard this.
Well, she knew how influential Nathaniel was. She still remembered how she suffered in his hands the last time, so she did not dare to offend the Ye family again. Moreover, she had secretly sneaked out behind Jose's back. If he knew that she had caused a mess again, she would get in trouble with him!
After much thought, Victoria said, "I was only buying a dress, and I didn't do anything else."
"I hope that's the case then."
After finishing his words, Desmond took Haniya's hand and walked away.
Earlier, when Desmond had Haniya's head on his chest, she could not breathe. She could only smell in Desmond's scent, and his steady heartbeat resounded in his ears. Therefore, as she left the place with Desmond, she was flustered again.
Then, Desmond escorted her to the car and drove back to the Ye's Mansion without saying a word.
He then got out of the car while ignoring Haniya as he seemed to be furious.
On the other hand, Haniya was confused.
How did she anger him?
Well, Haniya felt that somehow she had made Desmond angry.
She was tempted to ask about this, but she decided to forget about it since Desmond didn't say a word.
Oh, well. She had probably been too nosy today.
Alas! It was a pity that she wasted fifteen thousand dollars.
Urgh! She felt hurt!
At this thought, Haniya pouted and got out of the car before returning to her room. However, the more she thought about the money, the more distressed she felt.
Did she lose her mind?
How could she have given the fifteen thousand dollar dress to the lady? If she had kept it and sold it after, she would have at least get some money back, wouldn't she?
Boohoo!
These were her savings and her money!
Suddenly, Haniya started to feel pain all over her body.
Urgh! It was all Victoria's fault!
After returning to his room, Desmond waited for Haniya to come in, but there was no sign of her. He couldn't help but go out to take a look, but there was no trace of her in the car as well.
Where was she?
Desmond's expression suddenly darkened as he thought about this.
When the maid saw that Desmond seemed to be looking for someone, she quickly said, "Captain Blu, are you looking for Ms. Bell? She seems to have returned to her room."
Desmond was even more frustrated when he heard this.
Did Haniya return to her room already?
Wasn't she going to explain what happened today?
The more Desmond thought about it, the angrier he became. Hence, he then picked up the phone and called Haniya.
On the other hand, Haniya was still grieving over her money when she received the call, so she answered in an annoyed tone, "Who is this?"
"Come out! I'll wait for you in the backyard."
After that, Desmond hung up the phone.
Haniya was completely stunned when she heard this.
Was that Desmond?
She checked the phone number, and it was indeed Desmond's!
Oh, God!
Why was he looking for her?
She knew that she had been too nosy earlier and shouldn't have provoked Victoria. But she was also a victim!
After all, she lost fifteen thousand dollars!
Urgh! Haniya felt that she probably wouldn't sleep or eat well for the next few days.
At this thought, she then threw the phone onto the bed. After all, she thought as long as she turned a deaf ear and didn't go, Desmond couldn't do anything to her.
When Haniya didn't show up even after Desmond waited for more than ten minutes, the latter's eyes narrowed slightly.
Had Haniya become bolder now, or was her personality always like this?
In the past, she had endured his orders because she liked him. Now that she was about to give up, was she revealing her true colours?
At the thought that Haniya intended to give up on him, he felt even more depressed.
He then walked over to Haniya's room, but as he walked, he felt that something was not right.
Therefore, Desmond went straight to the balcony and jumped over it. Then he saw Haniya frowning while muttering to herself on the bed, "Argh! My money! My 15 thousand dollars! Ahh, I'm such an idiot! Why did you help Victoria pay fifteen thousand for that dress? Also, why did you give it to a stranger after buying it? Would she even remember you? Now that you only have a few dollars left in your card, how are you going to survive?"
Desmond felt like laughing when he saw this.
It turned out that she paid 15 thousand dollars for Victoria's dress, but she then regretted and gave it to a stranger instead?
Hah! It was indeed a foolish thing to do!
However, Desmond felt much better when he saw Haniya's sad face.
He then took out his phone and transferred fifteen thousand dollars to Haniya.
On the other hand, when Haniya heard the sound of a phone notification, she quickly picked up her phone and saw that there was an extra 15 thousand dollars in her bank account. Hence, she immediately jumped up from the bed.
"Fck! Did someone make a wrong transfer?"
"Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"
Desmond said as he walked into the room from the balcony's glass door, which shocked Haniya.
"Hey! Why did you walk in through the balcony instead of the door?"
Haniya's heart started beating faster, and she felt a little scared.
However, she didn't know what she was afraid of.
Then, she came to her bed and sat down while saying, "Why did you meddle in her business? Have you forgotten how she used to treat you?"
"I didn't want to do so, but she called out my name in public and said I was her daughter-in-law! How could I ignore her? Also, I never thought that I would need to pay fifteen thousand dollars for a dress! Let me tell you, I was also very reluctant to pay for it. Urgh! You have no idea how bad I feel now!"
Haniya said as she started to think about what had happened previously. Urgh! Why did she pass out instead at that time?
Victoria wanted to buy a 15 thousand dollar dress. She was doing as she pleased!
On the other hand, Desmond was surprised when he heard Haniya mentioning "daughter-in-law". His eyes brightened up, and he felt pleased.
"If you see her in the future, avoid her, okay?"
"Why should I do that?"
"That's because you don't know how to protect yourself."
After that, Desmond got up and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and transferred 8,000 dollars to Haniya.
