Love Is Fair
Chapter 187 Self-moving at the Wedding When Hailey ran backstage, there was no one there. She frowned, âThe light gray leisure wear and the cigarette bag pole that never leaves him are all standard accessories for grandpa. I wonât have been wrong. It seems that grandpa indeed came here. But why does he leave when the wedding is not over yet? And he didnât come to see me. He is so bad.â Owen followed her out, but when he walked backstage he stopped. He was slightly shocked that he seemed to have seen Haileyâs face showing a childâs wronged expression. Her nose was slightly wrinkled and her mouth was also slightly pursed. âWhatâs going on?â âWhatâs the matter? Have you seen a ghost?â
Matthew followed closely, shouting. He was warned by Owen with his eyes and shut his mouth. He also found that Haileyâs mood was not right. Hailey ignored them, stood there for a while, and looked up and around, but the figure still didnât appear or come back. âMs. Newman!â Chris rushed backstage and saw Owen and Matthew, who were stuck there like two pillars. He got a shock and smoothed his breath before walking toward Hailey. He whispered, âOld Mr. Newman did go back to the Newmansâ old residence a few days ago. And he went to Poya after receiving the wedding invitationâ¦â Hailey glanced at him coldly and said in a deep voice, âDidnât I tell you to keep a close eye on him?â âIâm sorry, Ms. Newman. This is my dereliction of duty.â Chris bowed his head and apologized, carefully explaining, âYou happened to be in Diverous on the days when I found out the whereabouts of old Mr.
Newman. And you almost got into danger when we returned to Poya. So I forgot to contact the person I sent.â Haileyâs face was cold, âYou donât need to take this quarterâs bonus.â âYes.â Chris felt pain, but it was really his fault, and he didnât dare to argue anymore. Hailey said heartlessly, âGrandpa just showed up. Send someone to look for him. If you canât find him in one day, you donât have to get your year-end bonus.â âYes!â
Owen and Matthew listened to the whole conversation, but they didnât understand what was going on.
As soon as Hailey left, Matthew stopped Chris. âOld Mr. Newman? Is he Haileyâs grandfather?â âIâm sorry, sirs. This is Ms. Newmanâs family business. I have no comment.â Chris didnât dare to delay, so he quickly sent his staff to look for Old Mr. Newman. Matthew was puzzled and guessed, âHe should be Haileyâs grandfather, Morgan and Reidâs father. Is he still alive? Why havenât I heard of it before?â Owen frowned slightly. âShut up if you donât know how to say.â Watching Owenâs back, Matthew angrily said, âItâs OK that Hailey scold me like that. Why do you say that about me?â
Back in the auditorium, the wedding had reached a very sweet stage, and the photos of the bride and groom as children were being played. It was not clear when this wedding custom began. In short, it was to tie two total strangers together. It was euphemistically called âfateâ. Hailey was no stranger to this part, while Owen had been deeply affected. Seeing the pictures flashing on and off the screen, he thought of the scene at his wedding. His lip line gradually became a straight line, and his cold eyes were also drawn back from the big screen. Eve stood on the stage with an unhappy expression. She gave Hailey a hard look âAt such an important moment, she dared to run out at the wedding. She almost caused a riot just now. She never forgets to steal the limelight with me.
However, I am the heroine today, and no one can steal my thunder! After the photos had been played, the officiant summarized the fate of the couple, saying that the bride and groom were childhood sweethearts. Cupid had decided their fate of them early, which was a rare beauty. Ava listened silently, but her thoughts kept drifting away. âIf we talk about childhood sweethearts, it seems that Hailey and Luca are the ones. Luca has always been around Hailey since childhood, and Eve has always been behind Luca, disliked. Come to think of it, it doesnât seem very beautiful.â Eve grabbed the microphone of the officiant and took the initiative to about the process from the acquaintance to the love between her and Luca, and shaped herself into a lovestruck woman who had stuck to the road of love for 20 years. As she spoke, she was probably too moved to sob and cry. Luca was drowsy and almost yawned. Suddenly, he saw Eve crying and was confused. Then he directly wiped her tears with the headscart of her wedding dress, Matthew couldnât stand to listen and watch more. He couldnât help joking, âThe bride must have watched too many sentimental films. Can she stop crying? Sheâs so ugly,â Hailey watched expressionlessly, âEveâs skill of acting has been good for a long time. And she was increasingly good at crying, but her IQ. has not improved at all.â Seeing the bride could not stop crying, the officiant hurried to the next step of the process â rings exchange. At the part she was most looking forward to, Eve finally stopped crying. A ring was about to be put on Eveâs finger when a female voice suddenly sounded at the door, âWait a minute!â This sudden shout made everyone look back one after another.
When Luca heard the familiar voice and saw the familiar figure, he was shocked and his hand trembled. The ring fell off his fingers and rolled away. Hailey looked at the woman coming, and the interest in the bottom of her eyes grew stronger. âThe good play begins.â Eveâs face darkened when she saw Candice Miler. âI have driven her out of Poya, why does she come back?
How dare she be here at my wedding today!â âCome! The security guards! Get this crazy woman out of here!â Eve, regardless of her image, was anxious to drive the woman, and her heart was in a panic for no reason. âCandice Miler, the bitch, who is the mistress caught in bed with Luca by me before! During this period, she is constantly trying to seduce Luca, and the two even dare to flirt in front of me. The bitch is very tricky. Luca has been fascinated by her. I have been patient, pretending magnanimous, but it does not mean that I am willing to share my husband with another woman!â The security guards came forward to take Candice out, but she said calmly, âBe careful, guys. I am pregnant and itâs Lucaâs baby.
It doesnât matter if you hurt me. But perhaps you canât afford it if you hurt the baby.â Hearing this, the security guards released her hands and dared not touch her, for fear of causing trouble. Her voice was not loud, but it was heard by most people in the auditorium. Luca and Eve standing on the stage naturally heard it. Eve was astounded, âShe ⦠This bitch is pregnant?!â
