His Contractual Mistress

Chapter 258 - Her End (One)

Chapter 258 - Her End (One)

She was listening to Eva's shrill voice, arguing with Bryan about what pulled Hailee back to the present. The two continued to quarrel, which gave her a headache, and her ears were buzzing from Eva, endlessly shrieking at Bryan.

"So this is the reason! That's why you are like a puppet, like a dog! You are ready to be a slave and even to marry her! It was because of her money! Am I right, Bryan!?"

"Enough, Eva! Stop making up more stories! I'm so fed up with everything that comes out of your filthy mouth!" Bryan shouted back.

Hailee sighs. She can't stand to continue listening to the argument all afternoon. She reached her temple, kneaded both sides, and growled in a low voice. Vince noticed her action.

"Are you okay, Wifey?" He asked, leaning over to touch her left cheek. He could see that Hailee looked paler and seemed uncomfortable.

"I'm not feeling well, hubby," she told Vince. He squatted in front of her to check her temperature.

"Do you have a fever? Your forehead is a bit hot. It isn't good if you get sick when you are pregnant. You can't take any medicine," said Vince worriedly. "I think we better go home for you to take a rest. I'll instruct Tim to…."

"No!" She intercepts him. "Eva must sign the divorce papers first. It was the reason we were meeting her."

"You need not think that anymore. I'll assign Tim to deal with that from here."

"But we came to meet Eva and…."

Eva cast a sidelong glance at the couple, whispering at each other. She stopped arguing with Bryan to listen to Vince and Hailee's conversation.

'So they truly set me up!' She narrowed her gaze at Vince before she fixed her eyes on Hailee.

Until now, she couldn't believe it. The girl she hated in her entire life was one of the wealthiest women in the world! She had her own jewelry company, owns several fast cars, private planes, yachts, and was the sole heiress of Davies Group! Hailee had everything that she wanted!

No wonder Bryan would throw her away!

Hailee Davies could easily remove her from this world anytime she wanted! She's no match for her, and it hurts after the truth slaps her on the face! She is just a cockroach to her.

Eva pursed her lips. She could taste bitter in her tongue. What will she do now? She can't accept defeat! She can't let things end here! However, she could not think of any valid reason that Bryan forgave her and Vincent would let her off.

Eva contemplated for a long moment; then a light came to her mind. She still has one card to get away from all of this!

Clenching both of her palms into fists on her sides, she swallowed the lump in her throat. There is only one person to blame.

"Liam Huo!" she exclaimed so suddenly.

"And what about him?" Bryan lifted his right eyebrow upward. The disgust he felt for her worsened each second that had passed. "You've been using him for your crap excuses!"

"But everything is his orders! I'm just following whatever he wants me to do because he's going to kill my family! She's determined to find a way out. She needs to save her life to start a new one! You know that!"

"Like I'll believe you again." Bryan crossed his arms across his body and cast a sidelong glance at Eva. He showed no interest in listening to her crap.

"He will kill you too, Bryan! Liam keeps threatening me!" Eva asserted. She has no plan to stop until she persuades Bryan.

"Like I can't protect myself! Like Liam can step in Australia!"

Eva remained silent. Bryan scoffs and mutters, "You didn't know that, Eva? Since Liam lost all his screws in the head, the association wanted to kick him out. That is why they were gathering his illegal activities to be punished."

"And he was already." Vincent chimed in. His lips pursed into a thin smile. "I give him heavy punches on his face and other parts of his body.

Both Eva and Bryan give him a perplexed expression on their faces.

Eva tried to process her head. If she isn't mistaken, Vince tells them he and Liam had a heated encounter!

"Vincent… What did you mean he was already? Liam was in prison now?" asked Eva.

She never had a chance to play Vincent's wife. She doesn't mind going on dates with him or even to sleep with him, but he is a total stone! So how did he get pregnant, Hailee? Is he truly the father?

Vincent pushed the corner of his mouth, contorting a proud grin. "He is! And everyone who allied with him is also behind cold bars now."

"Yeah. Including the family who orchestrated Vincent's accident." Hailey scoffs. "Unfortunately, your parents failed to kill him, Eva."

"No… That's a lie!" the shocks registered across Eva's face, as she's pale as a ghost.

"Come on, Eva. The whole Lan family helped Liam to harm Vincent, and the Gu family helped him to abduct me."

"What did you say, Hail? Liam got close to you? Wait… What's going on?" Bryan began freaking out, throwing a series of questions in the next seconds.

Hailee narrated everything that happened, including the day she arrived in Metro City, Lan's crime, Gu's involvement, and Liam's attempt to abduct her. She also confirmed that the incident a year ago was Liam's, trapped with Eva's help.

"Liam did everything so that I won't marry you. We're both victims here. So I already forgive you, Bryan."

Bryan closed his eyes. That was too wonderful to hear. But the reality is screaming out loud. There is no second chance for him because Hailee found someone, she would say, her true love. She can't be his anymore.

Liam got close to Hailee! And according to what Vincent had mentioned, he and Liam had a heated encounter! Bryan snaps himself and goes back to the main issue in this talk.

"Why didn't you tell us, Hail!? What if something happened to you!" he stressed out afterward.

"I went to P Country all by myself for many reasons. That includes for you to be free from Eva by exposing her affair to her nominal husband. However, I learned Vincent knew she had a boyfriend, and he didn't forbid her to have a relationship with other men." Hailee explained.

"But she's great at hiding it." Vincent chimed in, the corner of his mouth contorted an amusing smirk. "I want mom to catch her having an affair so that mom will act to convince Eva to sign a divorce agreement."
