Chapter 112
Hailey was still pissed about Eleanor being bullied by a stranger.
The whole way, she kept saying that next time they saw Mr. Law, they’d bring some dangerous stuff to
keep him in line.
if Mr. Law dared to mess with them, she’d teach him a lesson on the spot.
Halley was grinding her teeth when she said this, gripping the steering wheel tightly
Eleanor was worried that she might break the wheel, so she nodded in agreement while asking Hailey
to pay attention to driving safely.
The two chatted as they drove to the supermarket, loaded up on food, and headed back home.
When they got back home and headed to the kitchen to cook dinner, Austin showed up just at the right
time.
He greeted Eleanor and rolled up his sleeves, taking the kitchen knife from Hailey
“You two go watch TV, I got this”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAustin’s gentleness made Hailey smile sweetly
“Your cooking is definitely better than ours, so we’ll leave tonight’s feast in your hands.”
Hailey patted him on the shoulder and then went to the living room with Eleanor to watch TV
As soon as the TV was turned on, it started to repeat the news about the business alliance between the
Lawrence Group and the Ratliff Group
Hailey’s eyes widened in surprise when she saw Bernard with a woman who looked somewhat like
Eleanor.
“Eleanor, that woman
It seemed like she suddenly understood something and immediately closed her mouth. No wonder
Bernard forced Eleanor to sign such an agreement, it turned out he saw Eleanor as a substitute.
It looked like Eleanor was not only abandoned by Bernard but also used.
Five years, Eleanor had given five years of her life, and this was the outcome
She glanced at Eleanor, who looked calm and not at all surprised, as if she had known all along, and
her heart grew even more bitter.
“Don’t feel bad.”
Hailey reached over and petted Eleanor’s hair, not knowing what to say to comfort her.
Eleanor had long been indifferent about being a substitute and only smiled at Hailey
“I got over it a while ago, but why do you look so upset?”
1 feel bad for you”
Eleanor sighed, comforting her and herself: “Although he considered me as Ms. Ratliff’s substitute, he
treated me well over the years. Besides, I was able to forget about Garett thanks to him. You could say
I used him to forget the past.”
Hearing this, Hailey felt a bit relieved: “We should be thankful to him then”
Eleanor laughed: 7 wouldn’t go that far
Hailey tapped her head: “He bullied you, and you didn’t fight back.”
Eleanor smirked: “I did fight back”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe few times he came to find her, she had made him angry – that counted as fighting back, right?
Seeing Eleanor pretending not to care, Hailey felt even worse.
“I believe you’ll meet someone better in the future.”
She didn’t expect Eleanor to marry a rich man. She just hoped Eleanor could find someone who truly
care for her, then she could be at ease.
Yeah, there definitely will be someone like that.”
Eleanor tried to hide the sadness in her eyes and nodded nonchalantly. In reality, she knew deep down
there was no future for her.
Austin quickly finished cooking, asked the girls to help serve the dishes, and they turned off the TV to
eat.
After the three of them happily finished dinner, Hailey went to the bathroom, and Austin went to the
kitchen to answer the phone
Eleanor packed the leftover food on the table and was about to put it in the fridge when she heard
Austin’s voice before opening the kitchen door
“Dear, wait for half a month more for me, and I’ll be back once I settle things here. It’s too risky if I go
back too often…”
