Chapter 218
Love Is Fair
Chapter 218 No Oblique Accusations To die or to live in hell was a tricky question. Eve compared Luca, Candice, and Hailey and recalled what they had done to her. Overall, she thought Hailey was scarier, but she somehow wanted to leave with her. After all, better a bad life than a good death. Besides, as long as her grandpa was alive, he would not allow Hailey to treat her too harshly⦠She did not think she would make her live in hell. Hailey said impatiently, âYou have three seconds to think about it.â âIâll go with you!â Eve said before Hailey began to count down. âOkay! Kowtow to me now,â Hailey said casually as if she were talking about what to eat tomorrow. It was shameful to kneel and kowtow in front of so many people!
But Eve attached more importance to her life than her pride. Moreover, Luca had stepped on her face in his leather shoes and insulted her, and the Edwards family wanted to open her legs and test her amniotic fluid. Those things were much more humiliating⦠After Chris untied Eve, she leaned over and kowtowed to Hailey three times heavily, making loud sounds. Being able to take temporary setbacks should be her greatest strength.
The Edwards family had been trapped in the living room. After a while, Hailey came downstairs, followed by Eve who was helped down by a man in black. Seeing this, the members of the Edwards family were all shocked. Candice narrowed her eyes because she hadnât expected Hailey had really come to save Eve. Werenât they enemies? Isolde spoke first, âWhat are you doing? You canât take Eve away! Sheâs pregnant with the child of the Edwards family!â Hailey had been very sleepy just now, so she had not argued with them when they had talked nonsense. But they were much too shameless!
And she felt her eyes and ears had been seriously polluted! She looked at them coldly and said, âDidnât you say that the child in Eveâs belly is not Lucaâs? Why do you say she is pregnant with a child of the Edwards family now? Itâs fun to slap yourself?â âWe said it might not be Lucaâs child! Weâre just suspecting it,â Isolde said self-righteously. Hailey chuckled, âThere is no need to suspect it! Luca, donât you know what you did?â She then said to Isolde, âYour son is fooling around with so many women, so he must have bastards outside. Instead of coveting Eveâs baby, you might as well go out and get more sluts home. He likes that kind of woman, right?â âHow dare you slander my son!â Isolde was so furious that she almost had a heart attack âAunt Isolde, calm down. Donât bring yourself to her level,â Candice reassured Isolde, playing the role of a good daughter-in-law much better than Eve. She then looked at Hailey and said, âMs. Newman, why did you say those harsh words? Oblique accusations are unnecessary. You can say what you want to say directly.â Hailey said lightly, âI didnât make any oblique accusation. I was scolding you.â Candice was at a loss for words. Hearing this, Eve who was standing behind Hailey felt her grievances had been relieved. These people had bullied her for so long, and she had long wanted to fight them. But she had never expected Hailey to help her vent her anger. âHailey, there is no need for you to do this, right?â Luca couldnât lose his temper in front of Hailey, so he smiled flatteringly, âDonât you dislike Eve? She did so many evil things to you, so Iâm punishing her for you!â
Hearing this, Eve felt heartbroken and said, âLuca, arenât you feeling guilty to say such words?â She was so angry that she almost fell down the stairs. Fortunately, a man in black supported her. She glared at Luca with red eyes and ther burst into tears, saying, âI loved you so much! If it werenât for you, I wouldnât have turned against my cousin or ended up like this today! It is you that instigated me to do those bad things, but you put all the blames on me today! Youâve lost all your conscience!â âDonât talk nonsense! You did those things by yourself! You are jealous of Hailey, so you want to harm her. It has nothing to do with me.â Luca denied it completely. Eve widened her eyes and wished she could spit on his face now. Suddenly, Hailey lightly tapped on her phone and played a recording which has been recorded a long time ago. And then, a familiar voice said, âIt is Eve that deceived me into doing those things back then! It was her plan!â Hearing Lucaâs voice talking about what had happened back then, Eve was stunned, and so was Luca. âThree years ago, Eve took the initiative to seduce me! You may not know that your innocent-looking cousin has always been jealous of you⦠In short, she tricked me into asking you out to climb the mountain in the name of love. But I did not expect her to be so vicious. She took my mobile phone and sent you a message to ask you to go out. And her purpose was to kill you. I did not go because I was drugged by her. WhenI woke up, I heard the news of your death.
In the recording, Luca had put all the blames on Eve and whitewashed himself. Hearing this, Eve burst into laughter and said, âIt turns out you spoke ill of me behind my back like this. I am vicious and wanted to kill Hailey? Yes, Iâm jealous of her, and I want her to die. But you are not innocent! It is you that typed the text message to ask her out to climb the mountain! It was all your plan! You loved her but were refused, so you began to hate her and even wanted to ruin her! Luca.
youâre a viper!â Then, she leaned over and spat at Luca. She had been gagged by a stinky rag for several days, so when her saliva was sprayed all over his face, he almost vomit! Hailey was tired after arguing with them for a long time, so she said, âEverything that needs to be said has been said, so we will leave now.â Then, she began to walk outward. Newell had been a masterful figure in the business circle for many years and had never suffered from such grievances before, so he immediately showed a sullen face and said, âHailey, do you think you can come to and leave my home at will? Are you looking down upon the Edwards family?â Hailey turned her head bad, shrugged, and asked, âDo you have any problem with it?â Newell was speechless.
After Owen went out of his motherâs bedroom, he ran into his cousin Gene in the yard. When she greeted him, he nodded at her. Seeing her tired face, he asked, âYou just got off work?â Gene nodded, âMy supervisor asked me to host an international conference. I am inexperienced, so I watched a teaching video the whole afternoon at the Graduate Institute of Interpretation and Translation. Now, my head is still full of foreign languages.â She was currently working as a translator at the Graduate Institute of Interpretation and Translation. Hearing her mention international conferences and the Graduate Institute of Interpretation and Translation, Owen could not help thinking of one person. When he was deep in thought, Gene suddenly said, âBy the way, guess who I saw in the video? I saw my sister-in-law. No, I saw Hailey!â She continued with her eyes full of admiration, âShe used to be a special translation consultant of the Graduate Institute of Interpretation and Translation and has hosted more than one hundred international conferences on different scales. She can speak more than ten languages. I was stunned to know it and even suspected I mistook someone else for her. Why didnât you tell us that she can speak so many languages and used to be a translator?â Owen couldnât help showing a bitter smile, wondering whether he should tell her that he had not known about it until a few days ago.
