Chapter 259 - Her End (Two)
"Wow. I can\'t believe this!" Bryan let out a loud laugh. He was shaking his head, anger burning deep down inside his chest.
"Eva only makes you look like a fool, and she has a plan to milk money from Vincent," added Hailee.
"Oh, sure she is. I won\'t count how much I paid her to stay away from us. But she made a fool of me! She set me up a year ago!" Bryan narrowed his gaze at Eva. "Is there anything worse she did than what she does already?"
"Bryan! Listen to what I say. It was all Liam\'s plan! I\'m just following his orders!"
"Shut up!" Bryan\'s stern voice reaches outside where Ray, Tim, and Pitt were listening behind the shut door.
All they did this entire time was share glances at each other while listening to the drama happening inside.
From their perspective, the couple who had the biggest issue is between Eva and Bryan, rather than Vincent and Eva, the married couple.
But Vincent doesn\'t give a fuck about Eva. All he wanted was for her to sign the papers, nothing more, but look forward to marrying Hailee.
However, there is still a question. How will this drama unfold from here?
In the VIP room, Eva attempts to explain to Bryan, convincing him it\'s not her fault. But Bryan only shrugged when Eva touched him by the shoulder. He has no interest in listening anymore as he cannot stand to stay in the same room with her.
Eva tried to reason out, and Hailee can\'t stand to watch her drama further. She stood from the chair and strode toward Eva. She grabbed her by the arm and pushed on the nearby sofa.
"Enough of your drama, Miss Lan! I won\'t allow you to continue fooling both Vincent and Bryan!" said Hailee; she raised a recorder in the air.
"Did you see this? It was a record of your conversation several months ago. You and your best friend Ruth were gossiping inside a powder room in one of the luxury villas in Greece. Do you remember that night, Miss Lan?"
"What are you talking about?" She cannot follow what Hailee was talking about, but the beating inside her heart tells her it was that night!
"You said you were going to meet your husband in New York to discuss the divorce. But you lied. You just made him a fool. You attend a Charity Cocktail Party instead," Hailee carried on.
"You…." Eva could only stutter the words she wanted to spill out. Of course, she could still remember everything perfectly! Who knows that the woman inside the occupied cubicle is this girl! And she blabs a lot that night!
Eva bites her bottom lip. She glanced at Bryan and Vince. Both men are shooting an intent glare at her.
"I want to hear it!" said Bryan. Vincent, on the other hand, he\'s not interested anymore as he already heard its content.
Hailee played the recorder. What she could only do at this moment was close her eyes when the room filled with her and Ruth\'s voices.

"Eh? But he is so handsome! I can\'t believe that he is gay!"
"That\'s very true, Ruth. I tried it for myself. I attempt to seduce him, but you know? We\'re having just dinner, but he didn\'t even look at me! He\'s too cold and formal! The dinner just lasted thirty minutes, and he spent time with his male friends instead! Who knows what they were doing? That is why, even though his mom bugged me to go back to Metro City, I\'m not interested. What is the use of having a husband if he is not interested in you? My s*x life is in vain as he only prefers men!"
"Then why don\'t you divorce him so soon?"
"My dear, Ruth. You aren\'t looking at the big picture. Clearly, my nominal husband is way richer than Bryan. He didn\'t give me any terms and conditions when we agreed to this arranged marriage so I can be with anyone I want."
"How about Bryan? Is it because he lost his inheritance that\'s why you delayed your divorce?"
"I love Bryan very much. But think practically, Ruth."
"He is VP of Davies Group. He\'s earning great as well, right?"
"Yeah. But he is always cold to me. He\'s not interested in f**king me anymore."
"And that\'s why you hook up with Vlad?"
"He needs me, and I need him. Why not? He has money and power. It should be Win-Win, Ruth."
***
Eva opened her eyes. She saw how fierce Bryan\'s gaze was at her. He looks like he is ready to kill her.
"I\'m so disgusted by you, Eva!" Bryan roared at her.
"Bryan… I was wrong! I didn\'t mean any of what I said! I was drunk! I didn\'t know what I\'d said that time!" she reasons out, but Bryan only looks downward at her; his pupils shrunk from rage.
He could not believe that Eva would deny it when her voice was clearly isn\'t drunk!
Eva dropped her shoulders to her sides. She has no way out now. She was mulling over. Hailee placed a folder on the table.
"Care to sign it now, Miss Lan? The recording I hold is originally a video. It may be short, but I got a clear view of your face."
Eva glanced at the black folder lying in front of her. She lifted her gaze and looked at Hailee with eyes full of hatred.
"I never hated someone as to how much I hate you!" she roared at Hailee. Still, there\'s thickness left on her face.
"I\'m sorry to disappoint you, Miss Lan, but our feelings aren\'t mutual. I have no plan to waste my time hating you. I have a wonderful and happy life with my friends and loved ones. Your hatred has no room in my world."
Upon Hailee quoting this, she placed a black pen on top of the folder. "You can review and discuss it with Tim. You can hand it to him after, but my knights will take you away. Tomorrow, I will hand you over to a group of secret agents from P Country to escort you back. You need to face your crime, Miss Lan."
"What are you saying?" Eva looks at Hailee with wide eyes. \'Secret Agents? Are they going to arrest me?\' With this thought, Eva freaked out.
\'No! I must escape from here!\' Eva stood up suddenly; no one saw it coming when she pushed Hailee to the floor.
Hailee was shoved on the corner, where displayed different sizes and shapes of vases, and one of them are as tall as her.
"Hailee!"
Both Bryan and Vince cried out, then rushed to her side. It was Vince who freaked out the most when he saw blood on her arms and legs.
"Hail! Answer me!" he cried out. Vince couldn\'t decide if he must carry Hailee when pieces of the shattered vase pricked anywhere in her body. "Wifey, wake up, please!"
"Call an ambulance, Ray!" He shouted at the door. Bryan was trained to act fast; he\'s the first to recover and come back to his senses.
Every knight was well-trained and capable of giving her first aid when a situation occurred like this. However, no one noticed yet, that it\'s a different case why she lost consciousness...
"Bryan…." Eva\'s hoarse voice barely reaches Bryan\'s ears. He glanced at her fiercely. She almost passed out when Bryan\'s giant palm landed on her left cheek. She collapsed on the couch she seated earlier.
Eva\'s face flooded with tears, but Bryan didn\'t feel any pity at all.
"I\'m going to kill you, bitch! Hurting Hailee, you must pay with your life!" He attempted to reach Eva\'s neck to strangle her, but Ray stops him. "Let me go, Ray!"
Bryan struggles to be freed, but Ray knew it isn\'t right if Bryan would harm his girlfriend. Still, there is a law that would settle this and more important things to pay attention to.
"That won\'t help now! We should decide on how we can bring Miss Hailee to the hospital with wounds on her body!"
Bryan finally came to his senses. He joined Vincent, who was very careful in taking out the pieces of vase that were pricking out on Hailee\'s arms and legs.
"Princess!" Pitt rushed inside after he heard Bryan and Vincent screamed. "Oh, my god! She\'s bleeding!"
