At this point, he stared at Allysha with a regretful and resentful look and said, “She hid such a big thing as pregnancy from our family. If I hadn’t bumped into her on the street, she might have kept it from us forever…”
Austin then turned to Hailey and said, “After taking her back home, our house was a mess, full of creditors coming for their money. Before I had a chance to pay them back, my sister voluntarily helped our family to pay off the loans, and that’s when I found out that my brother–in–law made a lot of money in a distant country. After he knew about her pregnancy, he sent her living expenses every month on time, then I felt relieved.
But my parents felt that they were pregnant before they got married and scolded Allysha a few times. She didn’t accept it and started arguing with them. Maybe it was because she was too emotional, which led to, the baby’s movement. It’s not serious. The doctor suggested that she should be hospitalized for observation, and that’s when I arranged it.”
After explaining, Austin took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Hailey, “I was going to use this $200,000 to pay off our debts first. Since my sister has helped, I’ll give this money to you to keep.”
Hearing his explanation and seeing the bank card, Hailey felt totally confused.
She looked at Austin and Eleanor, as if asking what was going on.
Austin’s words were well–explained without any flaws.
If she hadn’t just witnessed the two of them being intimate like lovers at the entrance of the gynecology department, Eleanor might have believed Austin’s words as well.
She had some doubts about Austin’s character when she found out that he let Hailey bear all the mortgage and daily expenses.
Now that she has caught him red–handed, and he can still calmly defend himself, it shows that he’s very cunning.
Of course, she wouldn’t say these things in front of them, otherwise, it would alert the enemy.
Pretending not to know, she smiled at Hailey, “Hailey, it seems that my brother–in–law is just worried about the money you earned with such hard work, that’s why he gave it to you to keep.”
She hinted that Hailey should accept the money, and Hailey quickly took the card from Austin.
In order to get the cash easily, Austin transferred the $200,000 to the village bank’s card.
Although this is typical for repaying debts, cash withdrawal can avoid people from checking the transaction records.
“Honey, you’re so good…”
Pretending to know nothing, Hailey hugged his arm and kissed him, “What’s the password?”
Austin pinched her nose with a smile, looking very loving and indulgent, “It’s still your birthday…
Allysha, who was lying in bed, looked at the two of them being sweet and her eyes became even darker. She clenched her teeth and said, “Sis, I’m feeling a little uncomfortable and want to rest for a while. Why don’t you guys go out first…”
She only asked her sister–in–law to go out but didn’t ask her brother. This made Hailey’s hand holding the bank card freeze for a
moment.
Austin noticed her change and quickly scolded Allysha, “Your sister–in–law came to see you on purpose. How can you have such an attitude?!”
Allysha felt a little unconvinced and pouted, “She was just nearby and came to see me on the way, right?”
“You’re still talking back?!”
Austin scolded her and then turned to Hailey, “Don’t mind her. She was spoiled too much by our parents since she was young, which made her arrogant.
Hailey didn’t care and smiled, “It’s okay. I was also spoiled too much when I was her age. When I met someone I didn’t like, I not only talked back but also directly slapped them in the face!”
