Chapter 013 You Are So Ugly That You Hurt My Eyes
When Owen rushed to the apartment, Eliza was kneeling on the ground,
covering her face as she cried.
“Eliza.”
When Eliza saw that Owen had come, it was as if she had seen her savior. She immediately stretched out her arms and threw herself into his arms. “Owen, help me!” Seeing the red mark on Eliza’s left face, Owen immediately became cold. His face was full of displeasure as he looked at Polly Moore. “Mom, why didn’t you tell me before you came?” Even though the eldest daughter of the Moore family, Lady Polly, was sitting in a wheelchair, her imposing manner was not the least bit inferior. She had the
aura of a superior. Her long and narrow eyes were the same as Owen’s, and her tone of speech now was extremely cold. “Did you tell me when you divorced? Did you tell me about hiding a woman in
this apartment?” Polly was wearing an elegant dress with a thin blanket on her lap. The
embroidery was very beautiful and exquisite, handmade by Hailey. The shawl on her body was also a gift by Hailey. When Polly raised her hand, Winnie, who stood behind her, immediately understood what she wanted and lit a cigarette for her. “Eliza is not in good health. Don’t smoke in front of her.” Owen frowned.
“Is that so?” Polly puffed out a mouthful of smoke and glanced at the coffee table. “If she can drink coffee with stomach cancer. I don’t see how her health is bad. But Hailey has a low blood sugar level. I haven’t seen you caring for her.”
Hailey again.
Owen’s eyes were deep and serene when he replied coldly, “Hailey and I are
already divorced. There is no point in mentioning her.” Polly looked at his son’s cold eyes, and the corners of her lips raised into a sneer. “Look at how heartless you are. You are just like your father. If I had
known that after going through so much trouble, I would have given birth to another scum, I wouldn’t have had you.”
At the mention of his father, Owen pursed his thin lips, and his expression became colder. “If you don’t want to talk about Hailey, let’s talk about the woman beside you.” Polly took a puff and looked at the woman who was crying in Owen’s arms with a face full of disgust. “Enough! Don’t play pretend in front of me. You learned how to seduce men from your slutty aunt! Weren’t you just bickering with me just now? Why are you pretending to be pitiful now? Waiting for your man to stand up for you? Don’t forget, he is my son.” Hearing that, Eliza bit her lips. Her heart was filled with hatred, but she did not dare to show it at all. However, her eyes were hazy with tears. She sadly slid down from Owen’s arms and knelt down to beg Polly. “Aunt Polly, I know that you hate me because of the conflict between you and my aunt, but my aunt and Uncle Alan were really in love back then, just like me and Owen. We have loved each other for so many years. If it weren’t for the incident that happened to our family, and you… tried to stop us, I wouldn’t have gone abroad, let alone broken up with Owen. We would probably be married, and you might even have a grandson by now…” “Heh, what have you been dreaming about?” Polly could not listen any longer, so she interrupted Eliza impolitely. “Let me tell you, even if all the women in this world are dead and my son grows old alone, I won’t let him marry you. Do you understand?”
This damned old witch! Eliza gritted her teeth and wished she could go up and flip her wheelchair. Back then, if it hadn’t been for Polly’s schemes, the Browns wouldn’t have gone bankrupt, and she wouldn’t have suffered so much overseas! It was all Polly’s fault. How Eliza wished she could skin Polly and feed her to
the dogs! Just then, Owen reached out to pull Eliza up and stood in front of her. He met his mother’s cold gaze. “Mom, I can make the decision for my own marriage, so you don’t have to worry. Jose, send Madam home.” Standing at the side, Jose tried to lower his sense of presence, braced himself,
and went forward to tell Polly to leave. “Oh, my son is all grown up now. He’s even daring to chase his own mother away. How impressive.”
Polly clapped her hands and sneered, “Son, back then, your father betrayed me and caused me to lose my pair of legs. If you dare to marry her, on the day of your wedding, I will give you a huge gift as your mother. If you don’t believe me, try me.” Owen sensed his mother’s determined attitude as she left and slowly clenched his fists. His finger bones creaked, and he slammed the wall, causing a tremble on the wall.
Eliza was shocked. “Owen…”
After teaching Eve a lesson, Hailey went back to her room, removed her makeup, and took a shower. But lying on the bed, she did not feel sleepy at all. Her mind was full of
information about Eliza. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
In fact, she knew who Eliza was long ago, and she also knew about the
grievances between the Browns and the Moores, but she could not understand why Owen had to marry her.
If it was her, if someone dared to steal her father and caused her mother to lose her pair of legs, she would want to kill that woman or even her whole family. How could she be on good terms with that person’s family? Owen was quite a rational person. He didn’t seem like the person who would lose himself in love. Could it be that he had double standards and only treated the woman he loved like this?
Hailey tossed and turned. The more she thought about it, the more upset she became. In the end, she couldn’t fall asleep, so she simply got up and made a call. “Didn’t you say that you were going to celebrate my return? I want to drink tonight.” The night was as dark, but the city was as bright as day. This was the largest luxurious club in Poya. The VIP members of this club could scan their faces at the entrance to verify themselves. The eyes of the bodyguard at the door were like scanners too, and they would reject any new
faces without saying a word. A man wearing a pair of sunglasses stood at the door with a blank face. When he saw someone he knew, he would ignore them. Only when he saw a red Porsche drive into his line of sight did he reveal a hint of joy. “I thought you weren’t coming. I’ve been waiting for you for half an hour.” “Just wait inside. What are you doing out here?” Hailey took off her shoes, put on a pair of golden high heels, and got out of the car. In a small red dress, she appeared to look cool and wild. Seeing her, the bodyguards at the door were dumbfounded.
Since when did Brook have a new lover? This young lady was so pretty.
Brook looked at Hailey’s attire and nodded with satisfaction. “You look so beautiful tonight, better than those boring clothes you wear every day.” “If you don’t have anything better to say, shut up.” Hailey glared at Brook. As they walked in unimpeded, Brook wanted to take her to a private room, but she shook her head and sat down at the bar counter. “How boring it is to go to the private room. I want to see hot guys here.” She ordered a glass of vodka and drank it as if it was a cup of water, but Brook reminded her, “Your alcohol tolerance is not that good. Watch yourself.” Suddenly, there were guests making trouble in the private room, and the manager rushed over to tell Brook to go over.
“I’ll go take a look. You sit here and wait for me. Don’t run around.”
Hailey waved her hand, indicating for him to go quickly.
She hadn’t been to this kind of place and hadn’t drank for a long time. Glass after glass of alcohol, she was gradually intoxicated. As time passed, more and more handsome men came to strike up a conversation with her. “Hello, beautiful. Are you alone? Would you like to have a drink with me?”
Hailey’s cheeks were dyed red. Looking at the man, she stretched out her index finger and shook it gently. “No. You are too ugly. You hurt my eyes.”
“What did you just say?” The man who was said to be ugly flew into a rage out of humiliation and was about to hit Hailey, but his wrist was held by someone. A tall man walked over. “Only weak men will hit a woman. Why don’t you fight
me?”
The man had his wrist twisted and knew that he couldn’t win, so he didn’t dare to say anything and left.
amorous peach blossom eyes raised. “Beautiful lady, what’s the point of coming here to just drink? Would you like to dance with me?”
Hailey raised her watery almond eyes and looked at the man with a good
appearance. She smiled foolishly. “You are handsome, so you have the final say.”
