Chapter 300 Let Go!
Eliza turned to look at Nolan because of what Elaine had said.

She had never once heard Nolan mention that the Hayes family had any sort of responsibility toward the Lynn family.
“That’s the Hayes family’s responsibility to you. You can marry anyone from the Hayes family you want.”
Nolan’s words instantly drained all hope from Elaine’s eyes. “Nolan! If you do this to me, I’ll kill myself!”
Elaine had already attempted suicide once by slitting her wrists; the doctor had warned that she couldn’t endure any intense emotional fluctuations in the short term.
The bodyguards nearby panicked.
The Lynn family had been destroyed by the Hayes family. Back then, Nolan’s grandpa had agreed to the marriage alliance out of guilt, also to devour what was left of the Lynn family’s fortune.
But if Elaine were to die now, not a single cent of the Lynn family’s wealth would fall into the hands of the Hayes family
If the others at Hayes Corp found out, especially those who already resented Nolan, their dissatisfaction would only grow.
Tyson had always been circling like a vulture. Wouldn’t this just be handing him a weapon on a silver platter?
One of the bodyguards wanted to say something to Nolan. Even if we could just stabilize her for now?
Nolan said coldly, “Sorry, I can’t marry you. I’ve already canceled your card. From now on, there’s nothing between us.”
“I don’t accept this! Nolan, don’t even dream of getting rid of me for the rest of your life!”
Elaine tried to lunge forward and grab him, but the bodyguard beside her had already stepped in to block
her..
Nolan reached out to take Eliza’s hand. “Let’s go.”
Eliza walked forward with Nolan for just a couple of steps before stopping. Her voice was cold. “Let go.”
Nolan froze at her words.
Eliza said nothing.
Nolan didn’t speak either.
After a while, Eliza fmally said, “You’re not in school anymore, so there’s no need to waste your time.”
Nolan opened his mouth, but in the end, said nothing.
He simply replied, “Alright.”
“Whatever happens between you two, ligure it out yourselves. I don’t want to be involved.”
“Okay”

“I’m done talking.”
Without looking back, Eliza walked away.

A bodyguard followed behind and asked, “Mr. Hayes… aren’t you going after her?”
Nolan didn’t answer. The bodyguard beside him had no idea what to say either.
“Let’s go.
Nolan threw out the words simply, then turned toward the exit of the nearby mall.
Eliza returned home to find Halbert had been waiting for quite some time.
“You’ve been out the whole day. Don’t tell me you were off messing around with that Nolan kid again?”
Halbert hadn’t sent anyone to follow her, but one look at Eliza’s expression and he knew–this was definitely about Nolan.
Eliza had always been carefree and indifferent. She never truly cared about anyone.
Except when it came to Nolan; only then did she show this kind of disappointment.
“So what if it’s about him? Why do you have so many questions?
Eliza didn’t have the energy to joke around with Halbert.
Halbert could see she was in a bad mood.
“If this is about Nolan, then there’s no need. There’s never going to be anything between the two of you.”
He spoke unhurriedly. “But I do have some news you might find more interesting.”
“What news?”
Eliza didn’t believe for a second that Halbert would bring her anything good.
Halbert said, “That boss of Missy’s…”
He paused deliberately while he spoke, clearly observing Eliza’s expression.
Seeing her face remain unchanged, he continued, “Missy’s trending. Want to take a look?”
“How is that supposed to be good news?”
Eliza pulled out her phone. Halbert added, “I heard you used to care quite a bit about Missy: Normally, you don’t wear makeup, but there’s a ton of Missy’s new products at home now. Plus, you were getting pretty close with Missy’s brand ambassador recently, I figured you’d be curious about what I had to say.”
Eliza had always known Halbert was observant, but she hadn’t realized he was this detail–oriented.
Though she had brought Missy’s makeup home, she’d just tossed them casually on the vanity. No one would’ve noticed it was Missy’s stuff without a close look
“Oh, I just bought them randomly for fun.”

She changed the subject. “Halbert, do you know anything about what happened between the Hayes family and the Lynn family?”
“What are you asking that for?”
Halbert replied slowly, “Don’t tell me you want to get involved in Nolan and Elaine’s mess?”
“I just heard some rumors and got curious. If you don’t want to tell me, then forget it.”
Eliza turned to head toward her room.
But Halbert spoke up from behind her. “Back then, the Hayes family completely ruined the Lynn family. But
to protect their reputation, they adopted her. Said it was out of charity, but really, they just wanted to take the rest of the Lynn family’s assets. After all, if Elaine had died back then, none of that money would’ve ended up in the Hayes family’s hands.”
