Chapter 243
Hailey apologized, need to take a phone call”
Eleanor nodded, and after Hailey hurriedly left the bedroom and closed the door.
She knew that a lot must have happened in the three years, but she didn’t expect Hailey and Cedric..
Outside the door, Hailey held her phone and whispered, 1 have to hang out with a friend tonight, so I
might not be able to make it
Cedric held a wine glass, paused for a moment, “What friend?”
Hailey vaguely replied, “A female friend.”
Cedric said flatly, “Bummer.”
After hanging up the phone, Hailey exhaled, turned around, and walked back into the bedroom.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing Eleanor sitting quietly on the bed waiting for her, Hailey felt a bit uneasy.
She approached and sat on the edge of the bed, gathering her courage to confess to Eleanor, I’m
sorry, Eleanor, I know I shouldn’t be involved with anyone from the Laurence family, especially since
Bernard once hurt you…”
Eleanor interrupted her gently, “It’s okay, Hailey, don’t worry about me. As long as you’re happy. But
just…
She showed a hint of concern on her face, “Cedric is well-known for being a playb oy, he’s had many
women around him, you might get hurt being with him…
It’s okay as long as you don’t fall in love with this type of men, but if you do, you’ll end up with scars all
over your heart. Just like Eleanor once was. Hailey replied in a relaxed tone, “Don’t worry, I’m with him
for the sake of revenge”
Eleanor asked with confusion, What revenge?”
Hailey clenched her fist, angnly saying, “Joelle, Sophie, Bernard, those three hurt you, and almost

Hailey possibly handle them?
She immediately stood up, checking Hailey’s body while asking, “Are you alright? Have they done
anything to you? It’s too dangerous for you to seek revenge on them.”
Hailey smiled and assured her, Tm fine. I didn’t get hurt,”
Eleanor breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good. Leave the revenge to me. Il find a way to deal with
them!”
Hailey shook her head. “You don’t need to do anything. Joelle and Sophie have already received their
retribution.”

Hailey took out a cigarette, playing with it while telling her, I wanted to teach Joelle a lesson, but
someone already sold her to a nightclub. By the time the Stanley family got her out, she had become a
madwoman”
Hailey continued, “Sophie ended up with the same fate, with people regularly humiliating her every
month… Although they didn’t do anything too outrageous, they’ve been torturing her”
“My targets could only be shifted toward Bernard, but over these three years, he’s become more and
more powerful. First, he assimilated the Stanley family and the Ratliff family, then invested in the
Clowers Group. Now, he’s pretty much unbeatable.”
really didn’t know what else to do, so I used the foolish method of trying to seduce Cedric, replace
Norene, and become his woman.”
“I wanted to use Cedric’s power to get back at Bernard, but obviously, I was too dumb. Cedric would
never go against his brother for a woman. After understanding that, I tried to back out; but Cedric just
wouldn’t let me go..
