Love Is Fair

Chapter 344

Chapter 344 A Favorable Turn

Hailey didn’t want to disturb Karl and went out of his room.

As soon as she returned to her room, she received several photos and a video from Sofia.

In the photo, Eliza was kneeling on the ground with bruises all over her face, her head down, as if she was about to collapse.

“What kind of retribution did she get?” wondered Hailey.

An idea flashed through Hailey’s mind. She clicked on the video and saw a big hand slapping Eliza hard across the face, which caused a resounding sound.

Although it seemed mean to take pleasure in Eliza’s misfortune, Hailey still felt happy for it.

Sofia called her and asked, “How’s it? Are you happy to see Eliza being beaten like this?”

“Great!” With a smile, Hailey pushed the door open and asked, “Who did this?”

Sofia laughed out loud on the other end of the phone. “It’s a good thing for us, but the one who did that is not a good person.”

She told Hailey that it was Eden who did it.

And Eden’s name was not strange to Hailey at all. “Mr. Lloyd’s wife?” wondered Hailey.

“You know Eden?” Hailey asked in surprise.

Sofia responded, “We grew up in the same military compound and played together when we were children. I protected her at that time. Later, her father was transferred to another place, and we haven’t

seen each other for a long time, but we’ve been in touch.”

“Compared with me, she was like a gentle and lovely princess. But later, maybe influenced by her stepmother, she changed a lot and became wild and feisty.”

Hailey had learned a lot about Eden after hearing what Sofia had said.

Eden’s father was a current leader in Poya. He held an important position and had been married two times. His current wife was also the daughter of a noble family. After marrying into the Mason family, she arranged three. marriages for Eden.

And the marriage with Zion was Eden’s third marriage.

Clearly, they got married simply for interests.

After all, the rich and noble always had no choice in marriage.

Sofia was not a gossiper. She told Hailey about this because Eden asked her to do so.

“Eden sent me the video and photos and asked me to forward them to you.”

Hailey narrowed her eyes and asked, “What? Eden asked you to send them to me?”

“Yes,” Sofia responded. “She said that she felt sorry for you because you were both hurt by a homewrecker. Maybe one day you can become friends. Oh, by the way, she also asked me to tell you that everything Zion has done is out of his own will, and it has nothing to do with her and her family.”

Hearing this, Hailey was stunned.

The last sentence was the key point.

It seemed that Eden’s third marriage would come to an end soon.

Hailey indicated that she got it.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore,” Sofia said. “I rarely have time to call you. Let’s chat! How are you doing in Engese?

Have you met any handsome guys?”

Hailey couldn’t help laughing and complained, “Under Karl’s watch, I’ll be thankful if I’m not grounded, let alone meet a handsome man.”

Sofia burst into laughter.

“All right. Don’t just talk about me! How are things going between you and Jared? He’s determined to get you,” Hailey asked.

When Sofia heard the name Jared, she lowered her head shyly. “I don’t know. I’m fine with everything, but it’ll depend on whether my parents can accept him or not.”

“Don’t worry. If you’re meant to be, nobody can break you up,” Hailey comforted her.

“What about you and Owen?” Sofia asked. “Did you get over him?” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Hailey looked up at the boundless night outside in a daze.

She didn’t know.

Love was always like this. She was wise when commenting on others’ stories, but when she was the one involved, her mind was a mess.

Owen didn’t sleep well this night.

To be exact, he hadn’t had a sound sleep for a long time.

Recently, he had been restless. As he stroked Hailey’s hairpin in his hand, he would dream.

In his dream, he saw two figures snuggling up on the steps.

“Hailey.” He called her softly.

Hailey turned around and walked towards her with a smile. Owen thought that she was leaning on him.

However, the person sitting next to her suddenly turned his head. Owen was stunned and came to a pause.

It was Saul!

Owen suddenly woke up, breathing heavily, with cold sweat on his forehead and back.

He still held the hairpin in his hand, and the sweat on his palm seeped into it.

He put his hand on his forehead in a trance for a long time.

Then, Owen got out of bed and leaned against the balcony with a cigarette in his mouth. The thin rising smoke concealed the color in his eyes.

Room 88 was still dark, and Saul hadn’t come back yet.

Owen wondered if Saul would find out anything when he interrogated Roger.

Meanwhile, Hailey was tossing and turning in Bormintam, unable to fall asleep.

She held her phone in her hand and waited for an email.

Saul didn’t use WhatsApp. Nor did he like to make phone calls. He always sent e-mails to inform others of anything.

He promised her that once he got anything from Roger, he would tell her right away.

Hailey was nervous.

On the one hand, she was nervous about whether Saul could get something from Roger, and on the other hand, she was also nervous about whether her parents were still alive.

She felt reckless, and she was in urgent need of calming herself down.

Hailey wrapped her shawl on her shoulders and got up from the bed. She then took a cigarette from the cigarette box in the drawer and lit it up slowly. From time to time, she took a drag to comfort her restless self.

She had forgotten when she had begun to smoke. It seemed that it happened after her parents’ car accident. At that time, she had to investigate the truth of their

“death” and had to take care of a huge family business. The burden on her shoulders made her unable to breathe.

After all, she was just an ordinary person, far less powerful and tough than others thought.

Only she knew how fragile and lonely she actually was.

Like most girls in the world, she longed for family affection, friendship, and love. In fact, what she longed for most was companionship.

She didn’t like to be alone. It seemed as if she were the only one left in the world, and she was so restless.

She stood by the window for a long time until a cigarette was completely burnt out into ashes.

Suddenly, the light was on. Owen looked up.

When the phone rang, Hailey suddenly turned around.

Owen walked out of the room.

Hailey picked up her phone and opened the mailbox. When she saw the short line of words pop up on it, she was shocked and rushed out of her room.

“Karl!”
