Chapter 236 - Eva's Act

Vince and Hailey shared a look; they didn't comment on that as they both know the truth.

He knew the truth.

Last time at the welcome party, Bryan confessed to him about his ex-fiance. He deliberately admitted how he regretted he broke her heart. That until now, he still loves that girl, his ex-fiance, and that she is the only woman he ever loves.

But after many things they got through together, like dealing with Liam Huo, he even trusted Hailey. He has nothing to feel jealous of that Bryan is a part of Hailey's past, and they will meet up tomorrow to have a formal closure.

Besides, it was Bryan who was helping them to restrain Eva from leaving Australia. And he would be there as Bryan is his way to see Eva. It was Hailey's main purpose why she asked Bryan's cooperation.

"Miss Eva, I don't care what your issue is. But don't forget to tell Mr. Anderson that Hailey Hillson wanted to meet him." Vincent paused when Hailey whispered in his left ear.

"Tell her tomorrow I will text the address of the place I want to meet Bryan."

Vincent relayed her message to Eva; he then hung up without saying goodbye.

"Wait!" Eva was dumbfounded. She isn't finished talking yet. She wanted to demand to put Hailey on the phone. But that man just hung up on her.

She wanted to scream in anger and throw the cellphone in her hand. But she remembered it wasn't hers. Now that she realized it was Bryan's phone, she quickly deleted the incoming call log. Bryan shouldn't learn about that call.

But how could she watch Hailey's text to Bryan? She should do something about that!

Eva got her phone and copied Hailey's contact number. She's a little confused at first. The phone number was actually registered as international calls. Then it was confirmed that she had been staying abroad after Hailey called the engagement off.

But there is something that is also bothering her. It was like something fishy.

Why does the boyfriend, who requested to meet that girl's ex-fiance? What was that man's purpose?

Is Hailey truly the one to meet Bryan? Or is this man planning to do something to Bryan, and he is just using his girlfriend's contact number so that Bryan would meet him?

Is he going to harm Bryan? Or has a plan to kill Bryan because he finds out that Bryan still cares about that girl?

"No! I won't let that happen!"

Eva believes that this call was made to set Bryan up. Whatever this man's plan, she is determined to stop him.

That day, Eva made her plan. She destroyed Bryan's phone, and it was the moment he came out of the bathroom. He was taking a shower by the time Hailey made a call on his phone.

Wrapped in a light blue bathrobe, he walked toward Eva and queried. "Eva? What are you doing? Why are you holding my phone?"

Even though his forehead curled up from confusion and had an ill feeling toward Eva for catching her with that kind of scene, he remained calm. Although he was already fed up and felt disgusted with her, he had to endure it.

Eva, on the other hand, was startled when Bryan suddenly spoke behind her. She clenched her hand to the phone, slowly loosened her grip, and lifted her palm.

"I'm sorry, Bryan! I accidentally hit the nightstand lamp and fell on the floor along with your phone! I didn't mean to destroy it!"

Bryan lowered his gaze and stared at his broken phone. He scanned how damaged it was. And at the look of it, the damage was intentional. Of course, he isn't a complete idiot. But he acts blindly and believes Eva.

"I'm sorry, Bryan." Eva began sobbing. Of course, she was only acting to look pitiful, and that she was scared he would get angry at her.

After he looked at his phone, he lifted his gaze and smiled at Eva. He extended his right arm and pulled Eva closed to his chest.

"Stop crying. It's not healthy for the baby. Forget the phone. It's not important."

Bryan coaxes Eva, stroking her back to calm her down. Even though deep down inside him, he was cursing Eva to hell. Of course, that phone is important to him! Gladly, that all his files were on special backup storage online, including his contacts.

He sighed inwardly to calm himself. Then, he brightened his face and told Eva, "How about we go to the mall and buy whatever you like? You need things for your pregnancy. Then, after shopping, let's have lunch at a French restaurant. How about that?"

Eva slowly parted from him. She was still wearing a sorry look, not to show Bryan how happy and excited she was.

"Am I really forgiven?" she was biting her lower lip, trying her best to look seductive despite tears welling up from her eyes.

"Of course! Now go take a shower."

Eva smiled enormously. She then rushed to the bathroom. After she was gone, Bryan rolled his eyes, cursing inwardly as his face darkened from annoyance.

He looked at his phone helplessly. Somehow, he had guessed why Eva destroyed his cell phone. Hailee must have contacted him, and this is regarding their meeting soon.

Bryan threw his phone in the trash can. "I have to endure this for another day…."

Meanwhile, back at Shen Mansion…

After he ended the call, he lowered Hailey from the windowsill and put her down. He guided Hailey to face the window, grab her waist, bend her body, and stick her ass out.

"Vincent Shen, you beast!"

And because she rejected him last night as she was worried about messing up the mattress and the sheets, Vince was punishing her this early morning before they could have breakfast.

Hailey tried to close the curtains. She wondered if, from the outside, the windows were tinted. It worries her that the Shen workers below would see them in this kind of exercise.

"Uhn…" she could feel the hot liquid gushing out down her legs. But Vincent isn't done yet.

He gently grabbed her one leg to guide it to hook on his waist. Now she is facing him, and Vince is carrying her toward the bathroom. Her arms clung onto his neck while her legs tightly wrapped around his waist while his hands were gripping her bottom tight.

After another round of steamy exercise under the shower, she and Vince wore office suits.

"Where's mom and dad?" Vincent asked the butler.

He brought Hailey to the dining hall, but they found it empty. His sisters weren't there yet, either.

"Young Master, your parents rush to the Police Bureau after they heard that Howie Gu confessed last night."

Vincent and Hailey looked at each other. They anticipated what things Howie told the police. Whatever it is, it would be solid evidence against his family, Liam, and the Lan's…

"Do you want to go?" he asked Hailey afterward.

She shook her head and replied, "Your mom and dad can handle everything. I trusted them."

Upon hearing her response, Vince could not help not feel proud of her. He was happy that Hailey never hated his parents when they deliberately rejected her as his girlfriend in the very beginning.

At that time, they were just pretending that, although his act is real, Hailey has no idea yet.

"I love you, Hailee Hillson Davies."

"I love you back, Vincent Lopez Shen."

Vincent is brushing his lips on top of Hailey; he deepens the kiss, then three girls giggling behind them.

Deana, Sheena, and Janise suddenly appeared, carrying a tray of breakfast in their hands.

"It's breakfast time! Enough serving us dog food!" They tease them.

At the long table, the three girls didn't stop blabbing a lot of things. Vince could see that their chit-chat had no end. He has to urge Hailey to leave for work.

"You guys can talk all day and all night after our trip to Australia."

"You promised that, brother?"

"Yes, I am."

"You better be!" Sheena glares at her brother.

Anyway, they understood how busy they are. Both are CEOs of International companies. They were actually busy, and it was a miracle that they had time to spend time with them.

That day, Vincent and Hailey finish multiple meetings before their flight to Australia. They wanted to meet with his parents during the evening; however, he didn't want to delay his meeting with Eva, which his parents didn't know about it yet.
