Chapter 055 Bring My Daughter-In-Law Back Eve was unaware that the room had been monitored, much less knew that Hailey had seen everything. Brook watched the whole process and clicked his tongue. “I thought you were cruel. To my surprise, your cousins, Eve, in particular, are not good-natured either! You treated them so well when you were kids, sharing food and drinks with them. In the end, you got yourself two ingrates. You really can’t be nice to certain people. They bite the hand that feeds them.”

Hailey had enough of it, turned off the monitor, and said indifferently, “It’s not

too late to know it now. After seeing her true color, I will pull no punches.” “Eve is led astray by her dad. She’s jealous of anyone who has a better life than she does, but Ava is different,” Brook said. “I know about certain things. Ever since Reid married that vicious woman, Ava has been in a difficult situation and almost lost her chance to enter college. Even the tuition fees are earned by her through doing part-time jobs.

pedantic. He is beyond hope.” Brook asked, “So what now? Your cousins are watching and biding their time to

topple you.”

Hailey picked up her coffee, had a sip, and said nonchalantly, “Rebellion will add interest to our mundane life.” She would just deal with them one by one.

that Owen felt a tightness in his chest. He loosened his tie and replied solemnly, “Hailey and I have divorced.” “I know. I’m asking you when you’re going to remarry.” Polly thought her logic was sound. Met with his silence, she continued, “Got rebuffed? Well, that’s normal given how you treated Hailey. If I were her, I would give you a cold shoulder as well. In fact, she’s merciful enough not to hit you. Listen up, put up with it no matter how she treats you. Bear with her
