Chapter 357 Her Ex-Husband’s Will (3)
Benson had been crying since he received the news of Owen’s death. In the past two days, his eyes were red and swollen, and his handsome face had become haggard.
Among the juniors of the Moore family, Hailey and Benson talked to each other the most in their daily lives. She even treated him as her brother.
In the face of him, she became somewhat gentle.
Suddenly, she remembered something and said, “You asked me to bring you a gift. I’ll give it to you in a few days.”
“A gift?”
Hearing this, Benson was stunned for a while, then realized something and touched his nose awkwardly, saying, “Thank you, Hailey.”
Hailey felt that there was something wrong with him.
The next moment, Benson handed the phone to her.
She took it and asked, “What is that?”
“This is Owen’s belonging. I have cleaned it up. I used to use this phone, but later, he asked me for it. The password is 131420.”
“All in all, turn it on and have a look. I was forced to do such a thing.”
After saying that, Benson turned around and ran away as if he was afraid that Hailey would beat.
Holding the phone in her hand, she was stunned and sensed something wrong.
Brook was confused. “What’s wrong with that kid?”
At this moment, she was holding her phone tightly without moving, and the quarrel in the living. room became louder and louder. Karl frowned and said in a deep voice, “Let’s get out of here first.”
On the way back, Hailey held the cell phone silently.
When they arrived at Century Mansion, all her brothers opened the door for her and looked at her in unison.
On the way back home, Brook talked for a long time in the group chat about the will made by Owen and the fact that he had given his property and shares to Hailey, making everyone surprised.
When they saw Hailey, they asked her, “What do you think? Do you want the thing he left to you?”
Hailey made no reply. Feeling thirsty, she walked to the coffee table and poured herself a glass of water.
Kyle said, “I think she should take it. She has been with that jerk for so many years and even taken care of him for three years, but she hasn’t gotten a penny from him. Now that he is willing to give money to us, just take it.”
Brook rolled his eyes at him and retorted, “You idiot! If Hailey takes the property left by Owen, should she be the president of the Mazedew Group? She’s not the Moore family’s daughter-in-law anymore. Why should she meddle in the affairs of the Moore family?”
Randal nodded. “I agree with you, Brook. We don’t lack money or a house. It’s worthless to let Hailey be the president of the Mazédew Group for a will.”
Meanwhile, Sofia was going to North City, so Jared had already gone to the airport to pick her
Ryan was also there, but he didn’t say anything with his head down.
Kyle, Brook, and Randal had their own opinions and argued endlessly. After a while, they couldn’t help but look at Karl.
Karl remained silent with a poker face, so they didn’t dare to ask him but turned to Ryan.
A moment later, Brook walked over and poked Ryan. “Ryan, say something.”
“I have nothing to say.”
Ryan looked calm and indifferent. Then he took a look at Hailey and added, “Don’t you know what your sister will do? No one can stop her from doing what she wants to do. Of course, no one can force her to do anything.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
That was true.
The three brothers nodded in unison and looked at Hailey, waiting for her answer.
Hailey was so tired that her mind went blank.
“It’s so late. Go to bed now.”
Upon hearing Karl’s words, everyone left.
Later, Kyle went to Emerald Hotel to find Nicholas with Brook. Karl and Ryan stayed with Hailey.
Hailey said good night and went back to her room, holding the phone that Benson gave her.
After entering the room, she inputted the password with her trembling hands and clicked on the phone.
Benson should have charged the phone in advance.
This was a domestic product, and the screen was full of stars. All the applications had been deleted, and only the Whatsapp software was left.
Her institution told her there was something on it.
Hailey clicked on Whatsapp with her finger. There was only a chat record on it, and there was only one friend, which was her.
After a pause, she clicked on the chatting records. The latest news was that the user friended her.
She kept reading the record.
It was her voicemail. “I’ll bring you delicious food when I come back.”
“Imprisoned? What a pity! Who did this? Why did he lock you up?”
“That’s great. Are you in Engese? Is it fun there?”
“Hailey, how are you? We are all worried about you. Are you feeling better?”
Hailey put down the phone, walked into the bathroom in a hurry, turned on the shower, closed the door, sat on the ground, and burst into tears.
The truth came to light.
It turned out that the user was Owen.
The one who always cared about her and talked to her was also Owen.
“What a shameless man! We’ve divorced. Why did he pretend to be affectionate and that he couldn’t give up on me?” she thought. –
Owen even used Benson to cheat her.
“Wasn’t he afraid of being exposed? How dare he lie to me!” she wondered.
The flowing water was like torrential rain, drenching Hailey’s whole body. Her face was wet.
Karl and Ryan heard Hailey’s cry even though the sound of running water was loud.
Karl frowned and was about to enter her room but was stopped by Ryan.
“Just let her cry.”
Karl said coldly, “It’s just a man. Why?”
“You have no idea what love is.”
Ryan fiddled with the wine container and added slowly, “She has restrained herself enough. Didn’t you cry a lot for a woman back then?”
Karl raised his head and looked at him coldly. “I’m crying for my wife. How can she compare with Hailey’s ex-husband?”
“It’s the same as long as she still loves Owen.”
Ryan picked up two pieces of ice and put them into the glass. Then he pushed it to Karl and continued, “There is something that she has to go through by herself. What we need to do is to accompany her.”
Hearing this, Karl looked down, picked up the glass, and drank it.
Soon, the door was opened from the outside. Jared entered the house with Sofia, who had hurried here after finishing her mission in the army.
Sofia’s face was pale, and her eyes were red, Before she could say anything, she heard Hailey’s cry and quickly walked into her room.
When she rushed into the bathroom, she saw Hailey crying hard on her knees.
Seeing this, Sofia felt sad with red eyes, walking forward and hugging Hailey.
“Owen, how could you be so cruel?” Sofia wondered.
