Chapter 42

Chapter 042 Vomit in the Toilet All Night Not only was there a palm print on Eve’s face, but there was also some bruise at the corner of her lips. Hailey pinched her chin and accidentally touched her wound. Eve grimaced in great pain and brushed Hailey’s hand away. Turbid smell of alcohol gushed out. “Stay out of my business!” Of course, Hailey couldn’t care less about her, so she leaned against the door leisurely and watched Eve go berserk. Eve glared at Hailey with bloodshot eyes. “It’s all because of you! If you hadn’t embarrassed Luca in front of so many people tonight, he wouldn’t have been in a bad mood and wouldn’t have slapped me.” She touched her left cheek. The pain and numbness hadn’t completely passed.

Tonight, Eve was extremely jealous because Luca almost spent a fortune on Hailey’s necklace. After the auction, she made some sinister and jealous remarks. Instead of reassuring her like he usually did, he slapped her.

His abrupt and harsh action caught Eve unawares. She stood in a complete daze, and her ears were buzzing for a long time. Luca yelled indignantly, “Are you done?! You’re so noisy like a loud stadium crowd! Who do you think you are to be jealous of Hailey?! Look at yourself in the mirror! You’re nothing compared to her!” Eve was in pain and grievance. But even more so, she was afraid. Luca had been taking a fancy to Hailey since they were young. Eve had made too much effort to make him give up on Hailey and be with her. What if he went back on his word and refused to marry her?

When Eve thought of this, she panicked. Hailey could not comprehend her reason at all. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and grumbled with a frown, “Alright, I might have embarrassed Luca tonight, but he slapped you! Instead of slapping him back, you came to me and made a fuss?”

Vanul IALA A NIGH “Yes! It’s all your fault!” Eve pointed at Hailey and bellowed, her eyes filled with jealousy, “You must be so proud, don’t you?! So many men were fighting and arguing for you. The so-called Mr. Moore from North City and Mr. Holland from Belindao are famous big shots in the country. No wonder you look down on Luca. Those men must have satisfy all your lustful cravings, right?! In the three years you have been missing, you must have been with different guys all day long, right?” Hailey quietly looked at the enraged Eve and thought of the ladies in the charity dinner who were gossiping about her. One of them mentioned Eve. There’s no smoke without fire. Sure enough, Eve must be spreading the rumors about her. “I’ve warned you, but it seems you didn’t listen to a single word I said.” Frustrated, Hailey rubbed her eyebrows and summoned Lily. “I’m too tired to deal with you tonight. You should calm down and sober up.” Then, she turned to Lily and ordered, “Get her hug the toilet bowl tonight and get two people to watch her. She can vomit and rinse her mouth. Just do whatever she wants to do, but don’t let her get up.” Lily nodded immediately, called two bodyguards over, and escorted Eve to the toilet. “Let me go!” Eve struggled with all her might, but she could not break free from the two burly men. After kneeling by the toilet bowl and yelling for a short while, she felt the turbulence in her stomach and vomited. Hailey did not care about Eve anymore. She put on her earplugs and slept soundly Eve vomited for a while. The two bodyguards dutifully helped Eve for the whole night, be it patting her back as she vomited and retched or fetching her water, but they forbade her from getting up as Hailey had instructed. Just like that, Eve knelt by the toilet for the entire night. As the time passed, she fell asleep.

Chapter 04! Vomit in the lonel J NIMH Suite No. 66 of The Nomad.

Matthew, who came in uninvited, was sitting on a stool and carefully examined the four porcelain plates on the bar counter when Owen came out of the bathroom while drying his hair.

“So, are they really made in the 17th century?”

Owen hummed faintly as an acknowledgment and went to the kitchen to pour two glasses of water. Matthew could not comprehend the whole matter. He clicked his tongue and shook his head. “Hah, you offended and pissed Hailey off because of these stupid plates. I am worried for you, man.” Owen drank half a glass of water and was indifferent. “What is there to worry about?”

Matthew felt like a back-seat driver and cursed under his breath when he saw Owen’s calm and composed appearance.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and mouthed patiently, “Let me ask you, why did you come all the way from North City to Poya?” “Business, Owen blurted with a business-like attitude. “Aren’t we going to work together on the development of the equestrian track?” “Yes.” Matthew nodded. “Do you know who our business partner is?” Owen was still indifferent. “It doesn’t matter.”

Owen had always had an ulterior motive to come to Poya. The equestrian track business was just a matter of convenience to him. He couldn’t care less about their business partner. Looking at his indifferent attitude, Matthew wanted to blurt out the truth directly, but he raised his eyebrows and jeered, “It seems that you did not get into detail at all before coming here. The land in the northern Suburbs of Poya belongs to Dynamico Realty. Nanhu Real Estate. Last year, Morgan and Reid Newman bought the land with a huge sum of money to build a golf course…” Before he finished speaking, Owen frowned heavily. “Dynamico Realty?” Wasn’t that the real estate company under Crystaldale Company?

Chapter 042 Vomil in the Ter AN NIYOR “Yes.”

Matthew smirked faintly, relieved that it had finally dawned upon Owen. “Well, it’s possible that you don’t know about this. After all, you’ve been busy with market development in Eamush in the second half of last year and didn’t participate in the bidding. My family was busy with internal strife, so we didn’t care.”

Morgan and Reid were lucky because they got to win the bid of the land in the northern Suburbs. However, it was also because of this that they almost emptied Crystaldale Company and had a financial difficulty as they did not have a temporary capital fund to support the main company. It was in such a bad situation that Crystaldale Company almost went bankrupt.

“So, was it Hailey’s idea to transform the golf course into a equestrian track?”

Owen pursed his lips.

“Congratulations, you got it right!” Matthew snapped his fingers. Owen blinked while pondering. He silently cast his gaze on the four golden porcelain plates. Her last remark “I hope that this is the last time I meet you” echoed in his ears. All of a sudden, he felt that the plates were an eyesore.

Early the next morning, after washing up and changing clothes, Hailey came out of the room and went to Eve’s room.

Eve lay on the side of the toilet bowl, sleeping very soundly, saliva flowing out of her mouth. When Hailey saw this, she could not help but shake her head.

It was amazing how she could sleep like this.

For some reason, she felt that there was an inexplicable harmony between Eve and the toilet bowl. She could probably describe them as birds of a same feather “Miss Hailey.” The bodyguards bowed and greeted Hailey.

Hailey nodded slightly. “You must be tired after staying up all night. Go back and take a rest. I’ll give you a holiday today. Last night’s duty is considered an overtime. Go to Lily to claim your overtime allowance.” “Thank you, Miss!” The bodyguards were overjoyed. Their happy voices finally woke Eve up.

As soon as Eve opened her eyes, she cried out in pain. She felt that all over her body was in pain. Her face, her head, her neck, her knees… From head to toe, there was not a single spot that did not hurt.

What had she gone through? Eve stroked her neck and looked around her surroundings in confusion.

“Why am I here?” She had not completely figured out the situation. “A blackout is what happened. Do you need me to help you recall the events?”
