Chapter 341 Luca Went Offline
After arriving at Bormintam, Karl drove Hailey back to the Magic Castle and then went to the Thrushcross Grange. Now, it was time to solve the personal feud between him and Katherine.
It was already midnight in Congland.
Considering that Owen had already fallen asleep at this time, Hailey didn’t call him and instead went back to her room to take a shower.
Owen, on the other hand, unlocked his phone, again and again, to check if there was any message from Hailey. Still, she gave him no reply.
But when Owen closed his eyes, he would seem to experience auditory hallucinations and hear the prompt tone, so he turned up the volume of his mobile phone to the maximum.
He tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep all night..
On the other side, Hailey lit a rose-scented candle and wore a steam eye mask. Listening to the wind and rain. outside, she fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
The next morning, she got up lazily and wanted to exercise to lift her spirit.
Karl and Randal hadn’t come back yet. Fortunately, Mr. Ingram was still in the castle.
Hailey woke Mr. Ingram up and dragged him into the yard. “Father, let’s do exercise together. It’s good for your help.”
She explained in both Conglish and Mr. Ingram’s language. Although Mr. Ingram didn’t quite understand, he started. to do the exercise she taught with her.
As it turned out, the old man got exhausted.
Hailey felt much better after having breakfast with her First Father. As soon as she went upstairs, she received a call from Ava.
“What’s wrong, Ava?”
Ava responded, “Hailey, Luca is dead.”
Luca was dead.
At about half past six in the morning in Congland, a corpse was found in a luxury car on the outskirts of a city. According to the investigation, that was Luca, the young master of the Freaktube Group, that had gone bankrupt in Poya.
“He died in the wilderness. According to the police’s investigation, he went out to have fun with a group of young men last night, drank a lot, and used drugs.”
Hearing Ava’s words, Hailey frowned.
Hailey had long known that Luca was a drug addict. The reason why she had said that he couldn’t live till this autumn was that she knew that he would get himself killed and into jail sooner or later.
“How did he die?” Hailey asked indifferently.
Ava replied, “The forensic expert judged that he died of suffocation in the car for a long time, but there was injury and glass residue on Luca’s head. He must have had a conflict with someone before he died, and someone smashed a bottle against his head. The police have already begun to investigate his friends, and now that the group of young men are also in danger, because… the forensic expert has found HIV in Luca.”
Hailey’s face changed. “What? Then Eve…”
“Don’t worry, Hailey. As soon as the news came out, Eve went to the hospital for an examination with me. She’s very healthy and has not been infected.”
Hearing this, Hailey breathed a sigh of relief. “Thank God you are there.”
She was still worried about Ava. “Take good care of Eve. Don’t let her see Luca. Although he’s dead, he’s still dangerous.”
“Got it,” Ava responded in a low voice. “Eve didn’t show much emotion after she knew that Luca was dead. She just sat there quietly for a long time and then said everything is over.”
Hailey was unsure of what to say. People always became pathetic after they did something that made others hate them. Neither Luca nor Eve deserved sympathy.
“Aunt will come back to take Eve away,” said Ava.
“That’s quite good,” Hailey said. “Help her pack up. I’ll ask Chris to transfer some money to you. You can give it to our aunt.”
“No, Hailey. I have…” Ava wanted to refuse.
“Just take it,” Hailey said and hung up the phone.
After that, she texted Chris.
Only then did she find many unread messages from Dorian and Jeremy.
Dorian reported to her in a businesslike manner that his leg was recovering very well, asked her not to worry him, and thanked her for taking care of his brother Jeremy. about
Hailey told him to take care of himself while shooting in a similar businesslike manner and asked him to call her whenever he needed any help. She was definitely the best boss in the world.
Jeremy was much more adorable than his brother.
He sent Hailey a lot of messages, asking her how she was doing in Engese, saying that he had won an MVP in the basketball match, and even sending a photo of his golden trophies.He then asked when she would come back to fulfill her promise.
Hailey smiled. “You naughty boy.”
Jeremy had been in closed training before the competition. It was not until the competition was about to begin that he knew about Hailey’s accident, and then he burst into tears.
He even didn’t want to take part in the competition and claimed to fly to Engese and see Hailey.
The head coach of the basketball team couldn’t stand it anymore. He called Hailey and asked her to help persuade Jeremy.
It took Hailey a long time to persuade Jeremy in an extremely patient manner to take part in the competition.
“I’ll go back to meet you in a few days.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t forget it.”
After replying to Jeremy, she found some unread messages from Owen. Most of them were withdrawn, leaving only:
“Have you gone back home?”
Owen had been fixing his eyes on his phone.He didn’t sleep all night, and his eyes were bloodshot.He didn’t want to disturb Hailey, but he was really worried about her, and he couldn’t help sending her a message. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
But when the message was sent out, he wanted to withdraw it for fear that she would feel annoyed.
He withdrew the message three times, but there was still no response from her. Finally, he gritted his teeth and sent another message.
It was hard to describe this feeling of cautiousness, hesitation, and contradiction.
Would one always become different when he fell in love?
Owen didn’t know.
He only knew that if it went on like this, he would go crazy.
He buried his head in his arms in an upset manner and forced himself to calm down. Suddenly, his mobile phone. vibrated crazily in his palm.
Owen suddenly raised his head and looked at the caller ID of Hailey on the screen. Fearing that she might hang it up. he slid to answer right away. Then he turned over and got up, but as a result, he fell from the bed.
Just as Hailey was about to speak, she heard a muffled cry from the other end of the phone and frowned.
“What’s wrong with you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” Owen felt so much pain in his vertebra that he almost had a blackout. But he still sat up with one hand on his waist and tried to regain his composure. “I’m fine.”
“What’s going on? It seems weird,” thought Hailey.
She frowned. “Did you fall off the bed?”
Owen was rendered speechless and wondered, “How would she know about it? Did she install a camera in my room?”
Owen’s pupils widened, and then he stood up with one hand supporting the bed. “No, how would I fall off the bed? I’m not a three-year-old child.”
“Well.” He quickly changed the topic. “Have you read Gary’s information?”
When it came to business, Hailey returned to her ever-so-calm manner.
“Yeah,” she answered in a low voice. “Mr. Reylond is really something. If he’s really a helper hired by Roger, Roger would be doomed.”
“Yes.” Owen said, “These two people both want to plot against each other. We’d better wait and see. Here’s my plan….”
Then the cunning couple began to scheme against two shameless jerks, intending to get rid of them one by one.
