Chapter 034 A Piece of Cake
Eve was utterly dumbstruck.
Looking at Hailey’s leaving figure, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth indignantly.
Everyone would give all the best to Hailey without her asking for it, while she had to be envious about it and wait for a hand-me-down from Hailey. It had
always been like this since they were young.
But Morgan, her father, was the current chairman of Crystaldale Company. She was supposed to be the legitimate young lady of the Newmans. Who did Hailey
think she was to be so cocky and arrogant?! No, she would not allow it!
When Hailey walked out of the Garden of Rose, Brook had not arrived yet. A silver grey BMW was parked at the entrance, and Luca got out of the car.
“Luca!” When Eve saw her boyfriend coming, she was so excited that she
extended her arms and pounced toward Luca like a woman who got lost in the middle of the desert and spotted an oasis. She even deliberately knocked
Hailey on the shoulder as she ran.
When Eve threw herself into Luca’s embrace, Luca didn’t stand still and
staggered back. He knocked the front of the car with his back, and Eve’s head knocked on his chin, and he bit his tongue. It was so painful that Luca’s face
twisted in a grimace.
Looking at the foolish shenanigans between the couple, Hailey laughed in spite of herself. They were such clowns to display affectionate like that.
“Luca, are you alright?” Eve quickly checked on him, not expecting him to be so flimsy. Luca’s tongue hurt so much that he couldn’t speak. He angrily pushed Eve to the side and covered his mouth to ease the pain. He raised his head, and the moment he saw Hailey, his eyes instantly widened in awe.
Hailey wore a red velvet jumpsuit that reached her ankles, which outlined her
slim and slender figure and made her look elegant and gorgeous. The one-shoulder design accentuated her delicate clavicle, and it added a bit of sexiness Standing under the orange-yellow light, she looked so fair and translucent

CORPUS PIEVE ULU
Beautiful was simply an understatement! Luca stared fixedly at Hailey and could not help but lick his lips and swallow his saliva
Standing beside Luca, Eve was so infuriated and jealous when Luca kept staring at Hailey and didn’t even bat an eye on her. She directly pried his head and forced him to look at her.
“Luca, I’m here. Look at me! What do you think I look today? Am I pretty?” Eve lifted her skirt and turned around like a little Princess, anticipating a praise from Luca. However, when she looked up, she met with Luca’s disdainful eyes.
Luca crossed his arms in front of his chest and leaned against the front of the car, his eyes full of contempt and irritation. “How many times have I told you not to wear blue?! Don’t you know you’re too tanned to wear that color? You look ugly in that! Also, what’s with the balloon skirt? You’re too old for this kind of dress. Do you think you are an eighteen-year-old girl?” He criticized Eve without hesitation, condemning her makeover from head to
toe. Eve lowered her eyes to look at her dress with red eyes.
She knew that she was ugly and was not as beautiful as Hailey since she was a
child.
Hailey was fair, but Eve was tanned since she was born, and none of those whitening products could fix the problem. At five feet five, Hailey looked slender and graceful. On the contrary, Eve stopped growing after she reached five feet two in junior high school.
It was so unfair. Hailey was the elegant white swan, and Eve was an ugly
duckling. Never mind, the ugly duckling would one day become a white swan! The more Hailey listened to Luca criticizing Eve, the more irritated she felt. He was verbally belittling his girlfriend and destroying her confidence. This was a
typical gaslighting behavior, wasn’t it? “Hey, did you eat garlic tonight? Why is your mouth so smelly?” Luca and Eve turned to look at Hailey in unison. Hailey looked indifferent and composed, but her words were sharp and with
lethality.
She sized Luca up and mocked, “Who do you think you are to criticize her like

that? Just look at your own belly? You’re not even thirty yet, but your stomach is bulging like a pregnant woman! If i throw you a white shirt and green pants, you’ll look exactly like Peter Griffin! Well, if someone’s shooting the live version of Family Guy, I’ll be the first to recommend you for the audition.”
Luca subconsciously sucked his stomach in and cleared his throat when Hailey jeered him
However, Eve was the one who got enraged,
She stood in front of Luca like a country bumpkin and bellowed at Hailey, “Hey. who do you think you are to scold my boyfriend?! It’s none of your business whether he is chubby or has a bulging belly! I love Luca just the way he is! You don’t even know how to appreciate men. No wonder no one wants to marry you. You deserve to be single for more than two decades!”
Perhaps Eve felt that Luca would be backing her up, she was getting more
confident and added, “Hmph, even if someone marries a woman like you, he’ll want a divorce sooner or later!”
Hailey looked at Eve with a clear and cold gaze, chilling aura emitting from her entire body. Just now, she had mocked Luca not because she wanted to avenge Eve, but simply because she disliked him picking on women. However, for someone as stupid and ignorant as Eve, she deserved to be gaslighting by Luca. Hailey did not mind anything Eve had said to her, but Eve’s last statement
tugged at her heartstrings.
Hailey narrowed her eyes slightly. She felt that she had not knocked enough
senses into Eve’s head and had shown mercy to her during this period of time
She walked toward Eve step by step in her high heels. Her cold and elegant face and the chill all over her body looked so horrible in the night. It made Eve and Luca shudder and get goosebumps.
Eve instinctively shrank back and wanted to hide behind Luca, but Luca was more afraid than her. He believed in superstitious beliefs and always felt that Hailey’s return this time was to go after him and take revenge.
Hailey walked to Eve, reached out and grabbed her neck, and lifted her up. “What did you say just now? Say it again.” Eve’s throat was choked. She felt suffocated, and her face turned ghastly red.

Chapter 04 Alced
She stood on tiptoe and frantically tried to pry Hailey’s fingers. She heard buzz in her ears and couldn’t say a word
Luca was frightened, and his legs went soft “H-H-H-Hailey…”
He wanted to step forward to stop her, but a single glare from Hailey scared him off, and he almost knelt down to her.
Hailey looked back at Eve, who was rolling her eyes as if she was about to be choked to death, and coldly sneered. “Do you think I’m kidding when I said that I came back to avenge myself and kill you all? Hah! It’s a piece of cake for me to choke you to death. If you don’t want to die so soon, keep your mouth shut and stay still. Do you hear me?”
At this moment, Eve was bursting with desire to survive, and she nodded repeatedly
Hailey let go and threw her into Luca’s arms. Eve was able to breathe again.
She held her neck and coughed desperately.
Brook came just in time in his Maybach. He got out of the car and walked up to Hailey. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I’m just teaching my ignorant cousin a lesson.” Hailey took the wet towel from her assistant and wiped her hands. She then said to Brook, “Let’s go.” Then, she stepped on her high heels and left in a casual manner.
