Love Is Fair By Kerri Chapter 112
Chapter 112 Are You Worthy of that?
Eve couldn’t help bursting intoughter seeing her Uncle Reid so embarrassed. Reid took great efforts
to stand up by holding the chair. Wincing out of the sharp pain and darkening his face, he pointed at
Ava, “Come over here, you nasty girl! You dared to hit your mother!” “She is not my mother! My mother
has long died!” Ava yelled. Reid was stunned that his good daughter could have been so daring as to
shout at him. He almost stammered, “You…you are out of your mind?” “Who is the one that loses his
mind, I beg your pardon?” Ava walked up from behind Hailey, her eyes reddening. “Father, Cindy is not
my mother. My mother’s name is Lilian Downing, and I wonder whether you still remember her name,
her appearance, and the reason for her death.” Seeing her father evading in great astonishment, Ava
sneered lightly, “So you’ve forgotten all those, haven’t you? No wonder. You’ve been so busy with the
affairs with countless women until you were fascinated by Cindy and totally surrendered to her when
she gave you a son. But could you still remember the fact that she factually killed my mother?”
“That’s bullshit!” Reid kept narrowing his eyes, “What has it got to do with Cindy when your mother
killed
herself?”
“You are still being partial for that woman!” Ava put on a cold look. “My mother has never led a happy
life in the marriage with you even just for one day. She didn’t bother to, and was not able to intervene in
your debauched life outside, but you just advanced to bring that nasty woman back home!” Her face
now was
stamped with hostility. “You allowed that woman to appear in our home as your secretary so brazenly
and so often that my mother eventually ended up with the fatal disease due to grudges.” “Shut up, you!”
Reid denied tly with one sweep of his hand. “Her disease alles from the bad genes
of her family and her bad luck. Nothing to do with me there.”
“How could her illness worsen so fast were it not for the affair of Cindy and you?” Ava finally failed to
hold the tears in her eyes out of a severe ache in the bosom. “You even said the best things for a
middle-aged man are social position, fortunes, and a life without a wife! So you have been expecting
her to die!”
Hailey just stared at Reid coldly. She had only been aware his wife died of fatal cancer which was too
late to be discovered, having no idea the illness came from resentment. Everyone knows the mental
state is so closely knitted with physical health that emotion is just the bridge that connects psychology
with human body. You’ll have to cure a patient partially by medical means and partially, the
psychological
states,
Hailey thought of the experience of herself that she had been so mad about Owen’s taking care of Eliza
at home, and therefore could fully understand the resentment and grievance of Reid’s first wife when
she
had to bear her husband’s hanging around with another woman even inside her home. But what could
you do when the world just functioned so ruthlessly with the cold-hearted men and miserable women?
The only answer was, Hailey said to herself, to be the one to steer your own life without the bloody
men! Facing the charges from his daughter, Reid felt so awkward. “Why are you mentioning the past
when we are talking about your stepmother? You thought that would get you spared from the
punishment?” “You spare me? I’d rather count on a fish to ride a bicycle.” Ava gave her father an
emotionless look. “For so many years, you’ve never cared about me, even when Cindy was
persecuting me. And it suddenly urs to you that you’ve got a daughter?” It was toote! Ava cried in
her heart. “Nonsense! I have the very right to beat you because I’m your father! So I can’t even educate
my own daughter now?” Reid grew aggressive again, although Ava just red at him adamantly
without any intention to give in. Hailey then said chillily, “Uncle Reid, didn’t you say it’s a waste of
money to raise up a daughter? Why do you bother to care about her when you’ve already got an
excellent son? You’ve been absent when you were needed, and now you suddenly want to deploy the
right of a father. Could you ask yourself the question: are you worthy of that, when you tried to educate
your neglected daughter?” Reid was struck dumb in rage. So these girls were just infuriating him
deliberately! Morgan had been standing by and watching the farce silently. He now just found it so
amusing what Reid was like when he was exasperated by these two girls. So that was the result for
Reid, who kept unting how many women he was having! Morgan thought, you just deserved that.
“Look at them, Morgan!” Reid had to turn to his brother resorting to the convention, since he knew he’d
lost in the altercation with the girls. “How disrespectful they are! The kids in our family are simply
getting so rude!” Eve was displeased to hear that. “Uncle Reid, why am I involved? I’ve done nothing
wrong to you!”
CON
Reid could only re at her. “All right!” Morgan decided it was time to end the quibble. “Why talk bout
beating and hitting as soon as youe in? Can’t we try to work out peacefully? We’re family, aren’t
we?” He then pulled Reid back to the seat, and Reid just abode, taking it as a gesture to regain his
dignity. After drinking some water, Reid tried to calm down a little and pointed at Ava, “You can pack up
your things and go home with me now. Quit the job at Newman Jewelry. I’llnd you a new one. And
you should make apologies to your stepmother.” “No!“ Ava rejected categorically. She knew Cindy
would take her life if she went back home. Reid banged on the table and threatened, “Say another no
to me and I’ll break you leg!” “Here’s another no for you! Why shall I go to the ce which is no longer
my home? Just enjoy the happy life of your three. I would never go back for the whole life!” Ava yelled.
“You naughty girl just needs a harsh lesson!” Reid totally lost his temper after being challenged for so
many times. He rose to his feet to catch Ava, who fled to the back of Hailey for help.
Hailey hid Ava behind her and caught the palm of Reid. “Uncle Reid. Ava is an adult now and you dont
have the duty to support her life any more. What about having her work with me? Or making me her
guardian?”
“You must be kidding!” Reid neglected Hailey and went on with his attempt to catch his daughter.
Hailey
had to get her grip of his wrist even tighter, which made Reid shriek out of great pains. He just felt his
arm nearly broken when Hailey crossed his arm at his back.

Her eyes exhibiting aggressive chilliness, Hailey drawled expressionlessly, “Uncle Reid, I was not
kidding.” Reid could utter nothing due to severe pains, while Morgan and Ava watched aside in
astonishment. Hailey finally let Reid go when he was almost delirious. She then pped her hands with
a smile, looking so rxed. “Done deal, OK?”
