His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 226 - Her Identity Revealed

Hailey smiled awkwardly at Janise; then, she glanced at Vince to convey meaningful stares that she needs his help to explain things to his mom. Thankfully, he understood immediately.

Vince placed his arm around Hailey's shoulder. He looks at his mom. It visibly displayed the shock on her face.

And that is true. Listening to Janise announcing that Hailey is also a co-owner of Park Electronics and other companies shocks her. But now, to learn that she is Hailee Davies? The self-made billionaire in the world of jewelry and her family is one of the wealthiest in the world.

"Mom, I want to introduce Hailee Davies, my fiancee."

Hilda has rendered speechless. She knew it had been not a long time since she wanted to meet Hailee. Just the other week, she wished to meet the DV Gem founder. But not knowing that they have already met in these passing months.

In fact, she even offered her a few million in P Country currency, which was just a cent for her in reality.

That was clearly a slap to her face. In the past, she has been judging her as an impure woman, not knowing her real identity.

"Good evening, Madam Shen, Mr. Shen." Hailey politely greeted Vince's parents.

It doesn't mean that her background is from the line of royalty. It is not her character to embarrass someone unless she were personally and directly to slander. On the other hand, Hilda Shen never does that to her, so she has no grudge against Vince's mom.

Instead, she understood why Hilda Shen was furious at their fake relationship in the past. But mom's Vince never attempted to lash her out in public nor made her the hot topic on the internet with lies information.

In fact, Hilda is the one who cleans up with that kind of a mess. She doesn't want anyone to drag Vince's name. She knew that as she has access to the internet portal.

"Good evening, Miss Davies." Fred pushes his lips into a thin smile. He then shifted his gaze to his son and said, "I'm glad both of you are here now. Let's eat! The food is waiting! Your mom makes sure that the chef prepares all of your favorites, and they were done properly!"

Fred sounded boastful, which Hilda elbowed him. Until now, Hilda remained silent next to him. She hasn't even greeted back when Vice's girlfriend greeted her politely. Fred could only glare at his wife and make secret gestures.

Sat on the rectangular table, Hailey could tell that they intended this place to be set this way just for tonight's dinner.

The long table was beautifully decorated with fresh white and pink roses. And looking at the table, everything that prepared is not only Vince's favorites but also hers.

Vincent was attentive at putting food on her plate. Tonight, she didn't feel picky as in the past few days. In fact, she likes how it cooked the spices. The bell paper was tasty and fried just right. She likes how spicy it turns out. There are also giant lobsters displayed in the middle, and Vince took one platter and placed it in front of her.

"Are you going to fatten me?" she complains.

Vince leaned over and whispered, "Not really. I'm feeding you to get more energy. Be ready tonight."

"Silly! We are in front of your parents and cousins!" she whispered back, her cheeks blushing pink.

She could tell that everyone only pretends deaf in front of them. She felt awkward that Vince continued flirting with her, which of course, gladdens her that he never chooses a place or time to show his affection toward her.

"We're making a baby, so we need a lot of energy."

Hailey dropped her jaw on the table. She couldn't believe that Vince would go this far to be shameless! He indeed let his family hear him!

Carl and Zaijan just shook their heads while Vince's dad smiled, glancing in their direction. On the other hand, Hilda remains silent in her dining chair, eating her food elegantly.

During the launching party, Hilda Shen also remained silent for most of the time at the party. She only spoke to her cousins and a few friends at the party. But she neither showed she likes her or hates her. Instead, Hilda seemed to fall into deep thoughts the entire time.

Hailey came back to her senses after Vince spoke close to her ear.

"I heard that mom borrowed the best chef from M Resort and Metro Palace Hotel to prepare all of this food."

"And I was so pleased," she answered Vincent. Then she looked at Vince's mom with a genuine smile on her lips. "Thank you for the food, Madam Shen. They are all delicious."

Hilda slightly lifted her head to meet Hailey's eyes. She replied, "I'm glad that you like it. Is there another particular dish you like? The chefs were still here. If you like something else, we can ask them to prepare them."

"Ah. Everything that was prepared is enough already." She refused even though there's another food she wanted to eat tonight.

But she doesn't want to be rude. Actually, her gesture touched her. May this is not the first meal she shared with Vince's parents, but Hilda Shen's first proper invitation to her.

And she could tell the effort she made was just for the sake of Vince. She loves her son, and so Hailey could not doubt Hilda Shen's sudden change.

However, Hilda has changed after she had the suspicion about something.

The following day after the dinner incident at the Metro Palace Hotel, she summoned the restaurant manager to ask a few questions. It was first revealed that night, her son's girlfriend is a co-owner of DV Gem and a huge investor in MCGC.

Then, after listening to the manager's story of what truly happened that night, the manager mentioned another thing.

"Madam Shen, do you also want to know what foods they ordered?"

Hilda glared at the restaurant manager. She only asks about the statements posted on social media by those who've dined and witnessed that incident, and so, she isn't interested in what food they eat.

"Nothing… That's all I want to know. You can leave now." She waves her hand to dismiss him. However, the manager is still hesitant to leave.? "What is it? Why are you not living yet?" she asked snobbishly.

"Um… well… I'm just curious, Madam Shen. That night, Miss Hillson ordered an unusual dessert."

"What unusual dessert?" Hilda began feeling irritated toward this manager. But then, she chose to listen.

"She ordered a Black Forest cake with a lot of caramel syrup on the top and then strawberries as toppings."

"What is unusual about that?" she snaps afterward. But it made her pondered. 'Isn't suppose to be berries?'

"Well, ma'am. We don't have that sort of cake on our menu. But gladly, the chef tried their best to satisfy Miss Hillson's cravings. So, the chef had ideas if we should add another menu. Maybe a type of cake that is based on the guest's preferences."

"Wait, a minute… What are you saying about her cravings? Do you think black forest and strawberry is unusual to mix up?"

The manager nodded. "Yes, madam Shen. Besides, that night, it was what she has only eaten. And she almost finishes the entire cake."

"The entire cake?" She asked in shock, wanting to assure if she heard correctly. 'That sweet?' Now it does a mystery to her. That kind of body had the appetite to eat a whole chocolate cake? She sees no fat at all! Hailey Hillson has perfect curves and a flat stomach. If she has no proper diet, impossible she would not get fat.

Again, the restaurant manager nodded at Hilda's query. After that conversation, Hilda started having guesses in the following days. And the day before the entrapment of Liam Huo, she already had the conclusion.

"She probably is pregnant. She is carrying a Shen child."

In the middle of a great dinner, two women appeared in the greenhouse. Everyone, including Hailey, lifted their heads to see the newly arrived woman, which very familiar to them.

"Surprised!"

It was Janise who first rush over toward them. "Sister Dee! Sheena!"

The three women hugs happily, then Sheena and Deana look at people who were also delighted to see them.

Then, someone caught their eyes that made them happy. They rush over and also hugged her tight.

"Hailey!"

Hilda frowned to witness this. She was shocked to see her two daughters appeared out of nowhere as all of a sudden they visited without telling her! But Hilda was more shocked that her daughters greeted Hailey first over her!

She was displeased, but she could only remain silent.
