Chapter 342 Evildoers Will Get Their Own Retributions
Owen’s plan was basically the same as Hailey’s.
Now they were certain that Eliza was “sold” to Zion by Alan to save Maya.
And in fact, all of these were a part of Roger’s plan.
Alan, Eliza, and Zion were all Roger’s pawns.
Both Alan and Eliza were under control, but Zion was not a pawn at the mercy of others. He had a scheme when he agreed to cooperate with Roger.
Judging from his life experience, Zion was a typical opportunist, ambitious, and caring a lot about his interest.
On the surface, it appeared that Zion was successful in his official career thanks to his wives and his good luck, but in reality, his fathers-in-law were always more successful than the previous one.
Given that those bigwigs all liked him and married their daughters to him regardless of his family background and the fact that he had been married before, Zion must be outstanding in something.
Therefore, Owen and Hailey hadn’t taken any action before they figured out Zion’s background.
Now that they had a full understanding of Zion, Owen and Hailey discovered that this guy was truly extraordinary.
The scheming and sophisticated man had made a lot of contributions and even worked undercover in a gang, solving a great number of big cases.
Regardless of how his private life was, Owen and Hailey were sure that Zion would not make any bet on his achievements.
And there was no way that Zion would ruin his career for a woman like Eliza.
“I don’t know what Roger has promised to make him agree to cooperate with him, but I think Zion will be highly likely back on his words,” Owen analyzed.
Hailey agreed and added, “But Roger is likely to have something on Zion. If that’s the case, Zion will either let him go. or let him die on the way.”
There followed a moment of silence.
Now Owen and Hailey had to wait and see whether Saul could find out something, and then they would make the next plan.
After Owen finished talking about the plan, Hailey took a deep breath and said, “Thank you for the information!”
Owen was stunned and responded, “Don’t mention it. It’s what I should do.”
Hailey had wanted to say some more courteous words, but she found it would be annoying. Hence, she uttered, “I’ll treat you to dinner after all this is settled down.”
Owen’s heart thumped. Although she said that out of courtesy, her invitation made him feel that he had taken a big step closer to her.
“Great! I’m very glad to hear that,” Owen said excitedly as if he was afraid that she would go back on her words. “That’s settled then. I… I’ll wait for you to come back.”
Hailey perceived his excitement and thought he had misunderstood something. Subconsciously, she wanted to go back on her words, but she was not a person who would break her promise.
Things would become embarrassing if they continued talking, so Hailey hung up the phone.
Owen held the phone with great excitement for a long time.
Since he broke up with Hailey, his emotions had gone up and down over and over again in the past six months. Both his personality and life had undergone a huge change.
He knew himself and reality much better than before.
He had experienced the feeling of love.
He knew that he had been a bastard who had done all kinds of unforgivable stupid things and made mistakes to hurt Hailey. He should have let Hailey go, but he was reluctant to do so.
He could be generous in everything, but when it came to Hailey, he wanted to be selfish.
He loved her and wanted to get her back.
Even if everything in the world stopped him, he would never give up on her.
Suddenly, Owen’s phone rang again. It was an unknown number from Poya.
As soon as Owen answered the phone, he heard Eliza’s voice. “Hello, Owen! This is Eliza!”
With that, Owen hung up the phone.
But the phone kept ringing as if Eliza wouldn’t give up if Owen didn’t answer. Owen’s eyes were cold, but he still answered.
“Owen, don’t hang up! Help me! Someone is going to kill me!” Eliza frantically begged for help as she told the whole. story in a trembling voice.
Hearing the name “Eden Mason,” Owen knew that she was the current wife of Zion.
He was not in the mood to care about this matter and said, “You deserve it. I can’t help you. You had better call the police.”
Then he hung up the phone and blacklisted Eliza’s number.
As a result, Eliza couldn’t get through to Owen anymore.
She was so anxious that she was on the verge of tears.
She called Zion, but Zion didn’t answer her, either. Of course, she wanted to call the police, but she didn’t dare. After all, Eden was so powerful. Even if Eliza called the police, it would be useless.
Suddenly, the door of the bathroom was kicked open with a loud bang. Eliza was scared to retreat to a corner, but her hair was pulled, and she was dragged out, screaming in pain.
With her hair pulled, Eliza was slapped across both of her cheeks, which made her dizzy. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Eden Mason, Zion’s wife, was drinking coffee in a customized dress on a chair. She looked elegant and said in a low voice, “Be gentle. After all, she is the woman my husband slept with. You can’t make her too ugly.”
After that, the bodyguard raised his hand and slapped Eliza hard, causing her to collapse on the ground. She had a nosebleed profusely, and blood gushed out of her mouth, a tooth falling.
Lying on the ground, Eliza felt everything was dark and she couldn’t get up for a long time.
“Look, what a poor girl!” Eden looked at Eliza as if she were sympathetic to Eliza. She raised her high heels slightly to lift Eliza’s face, which was covered with blood.
“You just look so-so, but at a glance, you look like a bitch. No wonder you like to flirt with men so much.”
Soon, Eden lost interest in looking at Emily. As if she felt disgusted, Eden took off her shoes and told the bodyguard,
“It’s dirty. Throw it away.”
The bodyguard put away her shoes and asked Eliza to get down to her knees in front of Eden. Eliza trembled violently, and blood mixed with saliva streamed down from the corner of her mouth.
“Aren’t you used to being a homewrecker? Why are you so afraid?”
Eden was confused. “I heard that you even stole Ms. Newman’s husband. It seems that she was too merciful to you to make you learn a lesson. Now, let me teach you what it means to be a homewrecker.”
Eliza said in a trembling voice, “I was forced, Mrs. Lloyd. I didn’t mean to seduce Mr. Lloyd. Please forgive me. We are both women. Why do you have to make things difficult for me?”
“Well, you’re right. I seldom make things difficult for women except for homewreckers.”
Eden said, “I didn’t have you slapped for myself. Sofia and I grew up together. She and Hailey are friends. I’m simply teaching you a lesson for the sake of Sofia and Hailey.”
Eliza raised her head abruptly. Her swollen eyes narrowed into slits. “Did Hailey ask you to come?”
“Come on! Ms. Newman couldn’t be bothered to do such a thing. If she really wants to hurt you, you’d have died a long time ago.”
Eden looked at Eliza with disdain. She didn’t understand why Eliza still had the nerve to bring up Hailey.
After changing into her new shoes, Eden stood up and looked at Eliza, who was kneeling on the ground. “Oh, by the way, I came here today for my husband as well. He said he broke up with you.”
Then Eden opened her wallet and threw some coins on the ground.
This money is for you. I wanted to give you more, but Zion said you were only worth so much. Just take it!”
In high heels, Eden left with the bodyguards.
Eliza knelt on the ground and looked at the coins scattered on the ground. She was so furious that she trembled all over and screamed with her head in her arms.
“How can they do this to me? Why?!”
