Chapter 111
Love Is Fair
Chapter 111 When the Silly Dog Meets the Dirty Dog Ava didnât show any mercy when giving Cindy a clout, making Cindyâs face, the bones of which had already been quite fragile due to the cosmetic surgery, now badly mutilated. Cindy tried to win Reidâs sympathy and support by showing him her injuries on the face, just to find her husband flee away as if meeting a ghost. Cindy was extremely exasperated, blaming herself for being so blind as to end up with such a spineless coward when she had had a multitude of choices of men before. The damned Newmans! She just cursed and determined to redouble the indignity to the hateful Hailey and Ava that they had inflicted on her.
Cindy then hastened to the hospital to repair her face, where she made a call to Reid in tears, asking for justice from him for the outrageous bullying of Hailey and Ava. Reid, who had been guilty for escaping in the first place, now suddenly became full of manliness hearing her imploring voice, though partially because he didnât need to face her horrible face while talking on the phone. âAll right, babe.
Those two damned girls should have had the guts to pick on my wife! I swear Iâll give them a good lesson!â
Hailey was having supper with two cousins. The moment Eve got herself seated at the table, she lifted her hand as if casually, just to show off her engagement ring. Despite the dazzling glare of the 10-carat diamond, Hailey and Ava just ate the dishes attentively without raising their eyes.
Were they blind? Eve asked in her heart sullenly and finally coughed deliberately for the attention of her cousins. She then raised the question to Ava, âHow do you like the diamond ring of mine?â Ava squinted as the glare of the diamond was too unpleasant for her eyes. She just replied blandly, âNot bad.â
âOnly not bad? Come on! For this little garget, our Luca went elaborately to Italy and searched throughout the whole Florence!â Eva radiated the happiness of a future wife while appreciating her favorite ring.
âHe chose this one with a crown pattern as he knows I dream to be a princess. I just canât love him more!â Hailey said with a hint of sneer while enjoying her egg soup, âYou just canât be too careful facing a man, especially one like him.â Eva was too engrossed in her ecstasy that she wasnât able to think sanely. She just replied Hailey with a snort, thinking her cousin was saying that merely out of jealousy.
âEve, are you really going to marry Luca Edward?â Ava asked. Eve nodded with a wild smile, âYes, though I always think Iâm too young for that. But Luca just insists on that, saying itâs best to marry when weâre young.â âOr itâs best to marry and have affairs when weâre young?â Hailey suggested, âAs far as Iâm concerned, itâs best to have a thorough check about how many women heâs having affairs with now.
Mind your health when dating with such a man.â Eveâs susceptibilities was wounded and she flew into a rage with great embarrassment. âHailey, do you have to curse me even if you donât want to give your wishes to my marriage? You really hate to see others leading a happy life? I actually could well understand your grudge against the relationship of Luca and me.â
Hailey responded with a faint smile, âYou are thinking too much. You two match each other wellâ¦â Eve regarded her suspiciously. That didnât sound like Haileyâs harsh style. And Hailey did utter that second half of the sentence as expected, ââ¦when the silly dog meets the dirty dog.â âYouâ¦â Eva rose to her feet in a fury and shouted at Morgan, who happened to be walking down the stairs, âDad, look at my cousin! What was she talking about!â âAll right, Eve.â Morgan tried to ease his daughter up, and then turned to Hailey with a reproachful look, âHailey, do you have to utter the ominous when we are talking about a happy wedding?â He then patted Eve, âHave you sent your wedding invitations to your cousins?â âOh yes. Here are the invitations.â Eva remembered that and passed them to her cousins.
Compared to the lovely red cover and paper, the handwriting inside could only be deemed as a disaster. Hailey just couldnât help shaking her head at such humiliation to human civilization. As Eva was flaunting her wedding arrangement, someone broke in.
âMiss Newman, itâs your uncle.â the butler hurried to inform Hailey before the angry Reid made his way into the dining room.
Morgan turned round to greet his brother, âHow nice youâre here, Reid. I was thinking about sending you the invitation.â
âWhat the hell invitation!â Reid darkened his face and burst into the dining room, pointing at Hailey and Ava, âWhat have you nasty girls done to my wife? How come sheâs so badly hurt?â Ava was pulled back by Hailey before she could rise. Hailey just replied lightly, âI beat her.â âShe is the wife of your uncle!â Reid glowered at her, âHow dare you!â âWhat should I be afraid of?â Hailey retorted nonchalantly. âSheâs supposed to be prepared for a lesson when she has the guts to hit our artists at Southern Star Entertainment. Shouldnât we defend ourselves and fight back against her attack?â
âYouâre simply unreasonable!â Reid was about the hit Hailey when he was stopped by Morgan.
Morgan asked in bewilderment, âWhat are you talking about, Reid? Your wife is injured?â Reid pointed his finger at Hailey with an ghastly expression, âCindy was displeased with Haileyâs removing me from my office. She went to challenge her at Southern Star Entertainment, and ended up being badly hurt on the face. Cindy might be a little presumptuous, but she is your uncleâs wife after all.
How could you be so disrespectful, Hailey!â Couldnât stand the reproach toward Hailey any more, Ava abruptly rose. âDad, donât make it hard for Hailey. It was me who beat Cindyâ âIt was really you?â Reid narrowed his eyes as he couldnât believe his nice daughter could have committed such a crime. In fact, Cindy did tell him Aya hit her under the instigation of Hailey, he just wouldnât take that in, thinking his wife was framing Ava up since Ava was too obedient a girl to attack anyone.
But Avaâs confession just surprised him. âYes, it was me.â Ava straightened up. âI just gave her 30 slaps so violently that my palms even hurt till now.â She even showed her hands to everyone present, which did go with redness and swelling despite the timely treatment of ice. âReally?â Reid darkened his face and thundered, âHow dare you hit your mother!â He even lifted his hand up and was about give Ava a smack, when Ava fled away nimbly.
Hailey then stood up and pulled Ava to her back. She even kicked a chair over toward Reid, which got his tripped over and almost to fall on his face.
