Chapter 296
Love Is Fair
Chapter 296 Mom and Dad Are Still Alive On the way back, Hailey received a call from an unfamiliar phone number, which made her heart tighten. She faintly guessed it was from whom. Her intuition had always been accurate After the call was connected, she did not speak for a long time, but a low voice came from the other end of the phone, âSweetheart.â
It was a deep magnetic voice that most young girls nowadays liked very much, but it made her blood freeze. Hailey couldnât help shivering. She had to admit that she was still afraid of his voice ten years later.
In the prison made of iron, cold and cramped, she curled up inside, with shackles tied around her wrists and ankles, and a collar around her neck. Humiliation and fear filled her heart. Since the safety of her life could not be guaranteed, how could she have any dignity?
A man said and slowly approached her. Faint moonlight shone on his angular face, and his eyes were as dark and deep as night. He squatted down in front of her, pulled her by the collar around her neck, and dragged her to him, sticking out his tongue to lick the wound on her chin. âSweetheart.â He said in a deep and clear voice, âYour blood tastes so good.â Hailey shuddered, and called out his Easteinese name with sudden violence, âRoger Joeâ
He snorted and chuckled, âTen years have passed and you are still so smart and brave âAlthough Roger was of mixed race, he could still joke with Hailey like an old friend with a fluent Eastinese, âHow is your sweetheart?â
Hailey narrowed her eyes, and her voice was cold. âHeâs not my sweetheart.â
âOh, I forgot that he used to be.â Roger corrected, âNow heâs your ex-husband. But you still care about him, donât you?â Hailey slowly moved the phone away from her ear, put it on speaker, and began to check his location online at the same time.
She still kept communicating with him, âNo, I care more about you than him.â
âHahaâ¦â He laughed wildly and said, âYou, who have marriage life, are indeed much softer and more charming than you were ten years.
ago. He whispered, âAre you checking my location, honey?â
Haileyâs expression showed a hint of coldness. As expected, he had set up a lot of barriers, and it would take a lot of effort to locate his position.
âTen years ago, your hacking skills were already very good. But donât forget, you were defeated by me.â
He was still talking to Hailey as if he were teasing a child.
Haileyâs hands kept moving, and she said lightly, âAs you said, ten years has passed. Roger, youâre growing old and uglyâ
He froze, and then laughed wildly, âYouâre indeed the girl Iâve been missing for ten years, and youâre still so sharp-tongued. I like it.â
Just as Hailey located his IP, his IP changed instantly, and the location was also changed. She frowned, and a trace of annoyance flashed on her face. Knowing that he was teasing her, she had the urge to smash the phone.
âRoger, what are you trying to do this time?â Hailey hated him to her guts, âMy parents were killed by you. If you want my blood and my life, come and get it!â
Roger said leisurely, âWho said your parents died?â
For a split second, Hailey thought she was hallucinating. âWhat did you say?â She was stunned, and her hand holding the phone almost froze, âSay it again! My parents are still alive?â
âI donât know if they are alive or not, but I didnât kill them anyway.â Rogerâs voice was calm, âBaby, Iâm coming back this time for you.â He smiled lightly, âBut I donât want your blood or your life. I want⦠you.â
Haileyâs heart was beating wildly. She suddenly couldnât sit still, and grabbed the handle. The fact that her parents might still be alive overwhelmed her, making her completely unable to focus on other things.
âTell me, didnât you put Uncle Morgan and Reid up to my parentsâ car accident three years ago? You didnât kill them?â
Roger seemed to be mocking and smiled, âThree years ago, I was running around and trying to survive. I was too busy to do that.â
âThenâ¦â Hailey swallowed hard, âCould it be that John did it?â
He paused, and his voice became cold again, âSweetheart, Iâm talking about things between us. Donât talk about others, okay?â
Furious and anxious, she slammed the car window, swearing with rage, Im f*cking talking to you about my parents!â
With a loud shout, the window shattered, and the sound of shattering glass made the driver almost lose his grip on the steering wheel.
Chrisâs eyes widened in shock.
There was no sound in the receiver, and the whole world seemed to become quiet. After a moment, there was a beeping sound of disconnection. Hailey called back, and it turned out to be a number thatâs wasnât working. âDamn it!â
She slammed the phone on the seat, but her hand was cut by a piece of glass, and blood spurted out.
âMs. Newman!â In shock, Chris didnât even let the driver stop the car. He immediately unbuckled his seat belt and stepped from the passenger seat to the back seat. He put the broken glass aside, took out a medical kit, disinfected, and bandaged Hailey. His heart was pounding and he did not dare to look up to see Haileyâs face.
He had been around her for so long, and he had never seen her gloomy face.
âMs. Newman, do you want to call the police?â Hailey seemed to be frozen, and she sat there for a long time without reacting.
Just as Chris was about to call 911, Hailey took his hand and her voice was hoarse and dry, âDonât call the police. Itâs useless. There is insufficient evidence now, and I canât find his location. Even if there is sufficient evidence, we may not be able to catch him.â
Ten years ago, it is her father and Karl who used foreign armed forces and launched a small-scale war to capture Roger. But why he was still alive? Halley was confused âGive me the phone.â
Chris reached for the phone Hailey had thrown on the seat and handed it to her. Haileyâs fingers stiffened and she made a call slowly.
which took a moment to be connected She heard Karl say in Yardeenese, âStop the meetingâ
Then, his voice came clearly, âIâm here.â
âKarl.â Hailey choked and burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth.
Karl said, âTell me what happened. Donât cry.â Hailey sobbed and asked him like a child, âAre mom and dad still alive?â
