Chapter 285
Love Is Fair
Chapter 285 Can They Hit Their Sister Her flaunting immediately aroused dissatisfaction.
*Showoff, no one but you have an island, okay?â Brook rolled his eyes at her, âThatâs annoyingâ
âThatâs not the point. Are you going to Alleble with me?â Hailey grinned at him. The thought of Karlâs serious face unnerved her. âThe jailbreak ignited the powder keg Karl claimed that he would settle the scores with me. You canât sit by Brook got cold feet.
âIâm not going and inviting trouble.â
âPfft, thatâs not chivalrous. Who can help me distract his firepower?â Hailey patted Brook and looked at her second brother with pleading eyes, âJared, are you coming?â
âNo,â Jared shook his head and said sanctimoniously, âKarl didnât give me an island.â
Hailey pouted and finally understood the meaning of adding insult to injury. Her brothers were jealous of her. Not ready to give up, she looked at Ryan.
âThere are a lot of things going on in Fenneth. Iâll take Catherine back in a couple of days,â Ryan said unsympathetically, âSolve the problem on your own.â
Hailey sighed under her breath. That was sad. She stretched herself. âLooks like Iâll have Karlâs love all to myself.â
Her three brothers were petrified. Was it a crime to hit their sister?
âNo way, you narrowed escaped death and just made such a request?â Sofia sat at the sickbed, looking at her comrade-in-arms. In her mind, this guy had turned dull after he had brain surgery.
Even Matthew found it unbelievable. âYeah, this was a great opportunity. Why didnât you seize it and get back together with her? Are you going to give her up to me? Thanks, bro.â
Matthew saluted him, but Owen ignored the man. Sofia raised an eyebrow. âWhat, youâre dreaming of courting Hailey too?â âWhat are you talking about? Itâs not unrealistic. Iâm hot, you know.â Matthew pointed to his handsome face, âBesides, Iâve put it into action.â
Sofia couldnât help but laugh, âGood for you, how is the progress?â
âMy efforts are in vain.â Matthew was filled with frustration. Sofia laughed unkindly, âI heard that you wanted to have her little pearl.â
âHeyâ¦â Matthew winked at her.
Owen frowned suspiciously. âWhat little pearl?â
âThe little pearl that reproduces offspring. Call him bitchy.â Sofia cut Matthewâs throat.
Owen quickly turned his head and glared at Matthew. His eyes were filled with malice. âMatthew!â
âCalm down,â Matthew said. âAccording to Hailey, you shouldnât get emotional after the surgery.â
Owenâs face was frosty, and his expression was aggressive. Matthew tried to evade his gaze but failed.
âAlright, I was pressured by my dad to get married and have a baby. Hailey didnât agree and almost threw her slipper into my face. Ugh, this woman is really difficult to court.â
Sofia grunted, âThere is an easy one who courts you, but you donât want her.â
Matthew countered, âCome on, youâre in a similar situation as me.â
Sofia was dejected at the thought of Jaredâs courtship. No man had barely courted her before. She was really inexperienced in this aspect. She wanted to be his friend, but he wanted to be her husband. This was unnerving. The three musketeers of the Dragon Special Forces were trapped in their own emotional problems.
Matthew got their conversation back to the topic. âWell, Baldie.â
He turned a blind eye to Owenâs glare. In a weak state, this guy could not jump off the bed and hit him anyway.
Emboldened by the idea, he said, âYou donât want to repeat what happened three years ago, do you?â
Owen froze and looked up at the ceiling. His eyes dimmed.
âNot repeating it.â His dry lips parted, and he squeezed his words out, âItâs atonement and redemption.â
He would take this opportunity to make it up to Hailey. He would heal the wounds in her heart. He would make her stop hating him.
âThose people still wonât let you go. You should be very careful when you go out,â Jared said seriously.
Til send over my bodyguards. Let them follow you wherever you go. Donât act willfully, okay? If youâre in danger, be sure to inform me as soon as you can.â
His tone was solemn, and Hailey would not risk her life. With a serious look on her face, she nodded.
Brook remained worried âShe has been keeping such a low profile, but those people are still lurking in the shadows.â
Hailey thought of the man standing behind the window. His eyes were vicious, and his smile was sinister. He looked at her in a way as if she was his prey. Sooner or later, he would skin and devour her.
The kidnap when she was 14 was still haunting her, and that man was her worst nightmare. She had thought that he was dead. Turned out he was alive after doing so many evil things. Evil never dies.
âBrook, Hailey said soberly, âhave someone keep an eye on Reid and Morgan. Intuition tells me that Joe will go and see them. When my parents were killed in a car accident, I suspected that someone was plotting for Reid and Morgan. He coerced them to do that. They are not that bold to put it into action.â
Brookâs eyes flickered with coldness. âYou mean, there is another force?â
âThe other force was hostile to Joe and others, but Joe survived. Things are not that easy. Donât forget that they have the same goal and want the same thing, Hailey analyzed the situation seriously and narrowed her eyes, âPerhaps, they have reached some sort of agreement.â
When her three brothers heard that, their faces turned cold. If the two forces joined hands, Hailey would be in an even more dangerous situation.
After a moment of silence, Ryan said in a deep voice, âWe should go on searching for Joe. Iâll tell Karl to make arrangements and take you to Alleble as soon as possible. Our enemies are in the dark. We should be very careful and make no mistakes.â
The other three nodded in unison. Jared said, âRandal and Kyle should be informed as well.â
Brook said, âHaileyâs parents were gone. We will protect her from any harm. Hailey, donât be scared.
Weâre all here for you.â âDonât worry, Iâm no longer that girl I used to be. What Joe wants is not my life but my blood and genes. I wonât let him get it so easily,â Hailey said with a confident smile. Even if she died, she would not let them have their way.
