Chapter 329 A Good Woman or a Bitch
Hailey resolved to figure out that Ms. May. She was not a gossip. If it was the gossip of others, she would not bother to listen to it. However, this matter had something to do with her brother, so she must figure it out.
Men’s visions of women were far different than women’s. Men were visual creatures, who judged people first by their appearances, thinking women good as long as they looked pretty enough. But women were different, they could tell whether a woman was a good woman or a bitch at a glance.
She could not let her brother be fooled by a bitch.
Not interested in Hailey’s proposal to “exchange secrets”, Karl said indifferently, “I’m not interested in your thank-you gift.” Then he turned around and was about to leave.
Exchange failed?
“Karl!” Hailey ran over, stopped him, and took the initiative to show him the model airplane, “I made the model airplane by myself, awesome, right? Is it lifelike?”
“Lifelike?” Karl slightly lowered his eyes and laughed at her unhappy choice of words, “Your plane is alive?”
Speechless for a moment, Hailey swallowed hard and hurriedly added, “There are two little people on top of the plane. Look, who do you think they look like?” She acted cutely and endearingly, hoping to break the ice as soon as possible.
Karl pretended to glance at them indifferently, and then said expressionlessly, “A bull and a cow.” Speechless, Hailey felt Karl was really good at raining on the parade. ‘You’re a bull!’ She got into a huff
and played a blackguard, “Anyway, I’ve shown you the gift, you have to tell me the relationship between you and Ms. May to exchange secrets as agreed.”
This time Karl was speechless, and he raised his eyes coldly, “If you want me to kick your ass, just tell me, and I’ll make it happen.”
Hailey subconsciously took a step back, but she wouldn’t stop until she got what she wanted, saying while sticking her head. forward, “Why won’t you tell me? It only proves your guilt.”
Karl’s face was icy cold, “Guilt about what?”
“Karl,” Hailey looked closely at Karl’s expression with suspicion, “do you really have an affair with that Ms. May?”
Karl didn’t know what “affair” meant, but he did know it was not a good word. So he glowered with his blue eyes. “Nonsense!” Karl was not a person who liked to talk behind someone’s back, but he couldn’t stand Hailey’s pestering, so he reluctantly briefed her about Ms. May.
It turned out that Hailey had guessed right. That Ms. May had been crazily in love with Karl, having wanted to win his heart. and become his wife, which had caused Karl a lot of trouble known among the upper class and thus a bad reputation. So naturally, Karl had shown no interest in her. He had refused her with unambiguous words and an indifferent attitude, but she still had kept doing as she had liked recklessly.
Ms. May’s unrequited love had not relented after Karl had married Sophia, but had gone into another state of madness. In order to get back at Karl, she had gotten married to the owner of Thrushcross Grange and had become a countess. After her marriage, she had seemed to suddenly change her temperament and had started frequently getting close to Sophia on various social occasions, having tried to make friends with her. But Sophia had felt that they wouldn’t have gotten along and had kept
her distance from her. But Ms. May had been so good at pretending that her warmth and friendliness had made. Sophia gradually accept her, and she had begun to frequent Magic Castle.
Karl had been very busy with business and hadn’t stayed at home much, having reminded his wife to be more careful with suspicious people, but she still had been fooled by Ms. May.
“She once gave Sophia a sapphire, and Sophia liked it very much. But only to learn later that it was dug out from a dead man’s mouth. And once Sophia almost fell off the horse whose hoof was tampered, and the person who was with her at that time was Katherine May. With a cigarette in his mouth and his eyes cold and distant, Karl recalled the past, “You don’t know that Sophia and I actually had a child before, but Sophia miscarried.”
Hailey suddenly widened her eyes, she really did not know! “Miscarried?” she asked in a serious voice, “Because of Ms. May too?”
Karl puffed away on his cigarette, “I don’t know. I tried to investigate but found little evidence. But from then on Sopnia started staying away from her.”
“She should have done that a long time ago!” Hailey said in a rage, “That woman!” She just didn’t understand, with so many men under the sun, why some women would prefer to steal others’ husbands. Were other women’s men more attractive? Karl said in a deep voice, “Soon after Sophia’s death, the owner of Thrushcross Grange, Mr. Brown, died in unexplained circumstances, and Katherine May became a widow. One day, she suddenly came to me and said, “Your wife and my husband are both dead, we can finally be together.’ She asked me to marry her, and Thrushcross Grange would be her dowry.”
“Ha, she was out of her mind as expected.” Hailey said indignantly, “You should have told her that even if all the women in the world were dead, you would not be together with her, so she could have given up before it was too late!”
Karl said in a muffled voice, “That was almost what I told her.”
“But she still didn’t give up, did she?” Hailey sneered coldly, “I thought I’d seen the bitchiest woman in the world, not expecting there to be an even bitchier one, What an eye-opener!” This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
In the meanwhile, on the hotel bed in warm yellow light, with a thin soft quilt over her body, Eliza lay on the man’s body. “Mr. Reylond, will you stay tonight?”
The man raised his eyes flashing with a sneer, “What? Didn’t you get enough?”
Eliza looked shy like a little girl, but her hands wantonly rubbing against the man’s body. “I’ll be scared if I stay here alone.”
The man laughed sarcastically and reached out to pinch her mouth; “You women have mouths full of lies. The words you say are soft and sweet, but the things you do are cruet and merciless.” He then pushed Eliza away coldly, got out of bed, and put on his pants and clothes, returning to his usual meticulous director appearance.
Eliza got nervous about this man’s moodiness. For one second he was delighted, but the next second he became unhappy. But she did not dare to mess with him easily, after all, he was now her only support and way out.
While the man looked in the mirror fixing his clothes, Eliza tactfully jumped out of bed and reached out to help him like a virtuous wife.
The man was finally pleased again, “I have applied a permission of release on medical parole for your aunt, Maya, and she will be released in a few days.”
“Really?” Eliza was overjoyed, “Thank you, Mr. Reylond.” She stepped forward, kissed Mr. Reylond on the cheek, and asked tentatively, “How about Roger…”
“I’m still trying.” With a vicious look in his eyes, Mr. Reylond held Eliza’s waist and rubbed violently on the front of her body and her face with his icy cold hand. “He sent such a vision of beauty like you to me, I have to do something ‘equivalent’ for him in return.”
