Love Is Fair By Kerri Chapter 58


    Chapter 058 Betrayal of My Family After dinner, Eve led Ava to the study. Scott’s favorite style had


    been retained. The room was antique, with a wall of books. On the other wall, there was a calligraphy


    work that wrote “Keep your word and show the results.” There were paintings, antiques, jade… Eve


    and Ava had seen such things from their fathers’ possessions before, but they had never been allowed


    to touch them or taught how to appreciate them. They were bothymen.


    Hailey sat down, flipped through a misceny, and listened nonchntly as Eve

    recited the family rules. There was a total of 100 items, and Eve hadn’t tried to memorize them


    yesterday. Today, she had been cramming for the test, but the


    knowledge didn’t quite register. She stammered throughout the process. “Finished?” As she stopped


    reciting, Hailey slightly raised her head. Eve nodded meekly. “Sorry, I didn’t memorize them all. You


    have my word. I’ll


    study harder and abide by the rules.” “You’d better be. Do a calction and see how many items you


    missed.” As Hailey picked up the ruler, Eve was appalled. She had thought that Hailey just wanted a


    promise from her. Unexpectedly, the woman was really going to


    punish her.


    “H-Hailey…” Eve subconsciously put her hands behind her back and sweated nervously, “You’re not


    really going to hit me, are you?” Hailey raised her eyes indifferently. “Or what? Do you think I was


    kidding?” Eve tensed up and panicked. Ava’s heart was gripped by fear as she had seen


    everything from behind Eve. Hailey had changed a lot. She used to be a sunny and warm girl. Now she


    was cold and unapproachable.


    “The family rules are made up of 100 items. You recited 70 of them, missed 30, and made mistakes


    with 14. ording to our agreement, you will be hit 44 times.” Like an unforgiving judge, Hailey


    ruthlessly sentenced Eve, “Show me your hands.” Eveplied albeit reluctantly and got hit 44 times.


    Her white palms visibly


    swelled, turning ck and blue. The pain aggrieved her so much that she burst into tears. Even her


    swollen hands and arms were shaking. The pain was killing


    her. “Go back and apply some medicine.” Hailey handed the ruler back to Eve with no hard feelings.


    “Come back and


    recite it again tomorrow tonight. Same rule. If you’re not afraid of pain, fudge as you like.” Her eyes


    then fell on Ava’s face. “Ava, it’s the same case with you. When you live here, you abide by my rules.


    Come and recite the family rules with Eve tomorrow night.”


    “Okay,” Ava blurted out and numbly raised her hand, “Actually, I… have memorized them.”


    Hailey and Eve both looked over. Eve’s smudged face was filled with


    astonishment. “What? You’ve memorized them?” She desperately winked at Ava, warning her cousin


    against acting rashly. Hailey was no longer the same loving girl. She was now a viper. Ava failed to


    take the hint and just looked at Hailey innocently with her round eyes. “I kept Evepany when she


    was memorizing the family rules.” Hailey nodded, sent Eve away, and called Ava toe closer. “Try


    reciting it for me.” She took the book and resumed her reading. Ava collected herself before reciting the


    100 family rules smoothly and fluently like a pupil. She didn’t make a single mistake. If the stumbling


    Eve was an


    underperformer, then she was a straight-A student. “Not bad.” Hailey praised Ava and looked at her


    cousin with interest, “As far as I remember, you’ve been doing well with your study. You were granted a


    top


    schrship when they were admitted to Stoughsby University, and your major is jewelry design, right?”


    Ava nodded repeatedly. Her round eyes were glittering. “Yeah, you remember everything!” “I was away


    for three years but not amnesiac. Of course, I remember,” Hailey


    said calmly. “A good memory is my only merit. I am both a grateful and vindictive person. I haven’t


    forgotten the past when we were living together, and nor will I forget the days toe.” Her tone was


    nd. “I’ll be nice to those who treat me well. As for the hostile


    ones, I’ll remember their every re and scolding. I’ll make them pay.”


    Ava’s heart tightened. Somehow, she had a feeling that Hailey knew what Eve had said to her. A smart


    girl she was, she could sense something from Hailey’s distant attitude and remarks.


    She was not a fool, and neither was Hailey. Eve and she had been out of contract for many years till


    she was suddenly called over to the Garden of Rose. Eve’s purpose was in to see. “I know. You’ve


    always been clear about what to love or hate. Your world is


    divided by ck and white.” Hailey shook her head. “I used to be like that but have grown up. I know


    that between ck and white, there is a smear of gray.” She looked fixedly at Ava and said in a cold


    tone, “It’s called the betrayal of my family.” Ava’s eyes widened abruptly.


    Ava settled down in the room next to Eve’s. Thetter applied a thickyer of ointment to her hands,


    but the burning pain didn’t abate. On the contrary, it pierced her to the heart. Eve cursed Hailey and her


    entire family. “You saw how she bullied me. That was too much. How could she hit me with that thick


    ruler? Even my dad hasn’t hit me like that. Wait and see, I’ll have my revenge!” Eve babbled her


    usations, but Ava was in a trance. She was chewing over Hailey’s words. The betrayal of her


    family… Were the deaths of Hailey’s parents really rted to Morgan and her father? “Ava, I’m talking


    to you.” Eve’s voice brought Ava back to reality, “Is anything bothering you?” Ava curled her lips and


    replied, “Not really. I just find Hailey is no longer the


    same as before.”


    “You can say that again!” Eve finally found someone she could talk freely to, “She’s now like a… ghost


    from hell. Everything about her is creepy. Who knows where she was in those three years? By the way,


    did she give you a hard time?


    Did you really memorize the 100 family rules?” Ava’s eyes flickered as she replied, “Nah, I made a few


    mistakes. Hailey spared me since I just arrived.” Growing up in a loveless environment, she knew how


    to


    camouge her emotions. When Eve heard that, she felt much better. “There are so many items, and


    she


    just gives us two days. How can we possibly do it? We’re not geniuses.

    Obviously, she is making things difficult for us! Don’t be afraid, I’ll protect you. We’ll join hands to deal


    with her. Follow my n and behave in front of her. When she lets her guard down, we will take her


    down in one fell swoop!”


    Ava looked at the resentment and hostility on Eve’s face. The meaning of the grey dawned on her.


    However strong the external enemies were, they were nothing as long as the family members stuck


    together. Internal strife and fratricidal fighting were what was really frightening.


    In the study, Hailey sipped water, sat in the chair with her legs crossed, and quietly watched her two


    cousins who were plotting against her. A different emotion appeared in her eyes when she heard Ava’s


    remarks. She turned off the surveince and typed on the keyboard before Ava’s profiles appeared on


    the screen. She read Ava’s experiences over the years and sighed


    to herself. Reid and his new wife were monsters.


    In the dead of night, except for the bodyguards and servants on duty, everyone in the Garden of Rose


    had gone to bed. Hailey was still up. Leaning against the head of the bed, she was reading a book


    about antiques and seemed to be waiting for someone. When the clock was stuck at 0:00, someone


    tapped on the door. There she came.
