Chapter 250 - Who's The Father? (Two)
Inside Ray's office, Tim shifted his gaze from Bryan's back to his boss. Both men aren't happy with what the two girls argued about.
Leaning on the wall at the back, Pitt is grinning. He is wondering who will explode first. Is it Vincent Shen? Or Bryan?
It was true that Bryan was furious at Eva. He doesn't like the way she speaks to Hailee, while Vincent was annoyed how his nominal wife had a fuck mouth. And what's more, he isn't happy that Eva suspected maybe Bryan is the father of the baby Hailee carried.
It isn't Bryan's child! It was his!
And he had trust in Hailee. She isn't that kind of woman who sleeps around. And it irritates him! He wished he could shut Eva's mouth or strangle her.
But is it not the right time for him to show up. Hailey had just started confronting Eva. He doesn't want to ruin whatever plan she has.

Back in the VIP room, Hailey leaned back on the couch and crossed her arms on top of her chest. She asked,
"And where did that come from, Miss Lan? Why would I sleep with Bryan? I have a boyfriend, no, it's my fiance. Have you forgotten? Didn't you speak to him yesterday morning? So how come you have that conclusion that I slept with Bryan? Honestly, never in my wildest dream."
In what Hailey had said, Vince parted his mouth with a huge smile. Tim and Pitt shared a glance. They give him one point.
Now…
Eva is looking at Hailee furiously.
"Who knows if you are cheating with your boyfriend or fiance... or whatever! Why does your boyfriend relay the message to you? Are you planning to set up Bryan, then blackmail him? Is your boyfriend involved in this?"
She growled at Hailey in a low voice. But her tone is full of sternness. "I won't allow you to do anything! Bryan is mine!"
At the monitoring room, Pitt and Tim couldn't help laughing in the back. Both Bryan and Vincent glared over their shoulders. However, they couldn't help but laugh at that crazy plot Eva came up with.
Eva's ways of thinking honestly amused Hailey. She was enticed to laugh, and she did; she couldn't suppress it later. After she heard that, her mouth dropped open, now Eva is pointing her doings at her. It truly engages her.
"Is that funny, I guess, right?" And it displeases Eva to see her laughing. Her face darkened, throwing a sharp look in Hailey's direction as she made her pissed again.
"I'm sorry, Miss Lan. That was hilarious. Me and my boyfriend? Why would we plan to blackmail Bryan? He has been my brother my entire life. Above all, it never crosses my mind to sleep with him. Besides, I already have someone in my bed. I can assure you. His bed is the only one I love to crawl every night. That is why you don't need to overthink about Bryan and me."
"Oh, yeah? That's bullshit— "
"Please, Miss Eva Lan. Stop bullying me every time our paths cross. In the past, I just let it go because it's not true. And I didn't tell Bryan how you love lashing me if he's not around. I didn't quarrel because you are the girlfriend. However, that's all in the past now. So, please, don't try my patience. I won't back down nor ignore your lashing at me."
"I hate you! Since the very beginning, I haven't liked you already!" Eva hissed.
Hailey retorted, "I may not like you, Miss Lan. But I don't disrespect you. However, after what you've done to Bryan? I will no longer forgive you."
"Is that so? And what now? Are you going to convince him to break up with me? Tell him lies about the past so that he'll be angry at me?" If that was the case, she knew that Bryan is in favor of Hailee. But she will choose her! Bryan believes that it was his child.
Eva is still full of determination, without her knowing that Bryan is witnessing all of this.
Hailey, on the other hand, poured another tea in her cup as she answered. "Honestly, you are partially right, Miss Lan. I am truly here to warn Bryan and convince him to cut all his connections to you."
"You! I know you are a bitch! But take my advice, sweetheart. I carried his child. Do you think she'll listen to you?" Eva snorts. She was casting a sidelong glance at her. She lifted her chin like she already knew that she would win against Hailey.
And Hailey shook her head. Until now, she was really impressed by Eva's confidence. "You really have a thick face, Miss Lan. Like I didn't know who the father of that child was."
The smile on her face vanishes. For a few seconds, shock lingers on her face.
"What are you talking about?" Eva growled. Her gaze sharpened, wishing she could throw knives at her. In her heart, a slight fear started spurting. It made her think if Hailey was only threatening her or she really knows the truth. But how?
No. Of course, Liam would not reveal this secret. It was his very own plan in the first place! It is impossible when Liam was in P Country.
"Stop making up stories!" she shrieked after a second of shock.
"Really? Have you heard of where Howie Gu is by now? Haven't you heard from your parents or sister either?"
"What do you mean by that?" The beating in her heart is going wild. This girl appears to have a lot of information about herself and even her family. Did she run an investigation about them?
Eva couldn't stop herself from musing over this question. But it's impossible!
"Did you run an investigation about me? Is that how desperate you are to take Bryan from me?"
"To free Bryan from you is the correct word, Miss Lan. And yes! When I researched LN Group, I saw their past articles posted on their website. You are LN's Top Interior Designer, but you suddenly resigned a year ago. Then about Howie Gu, he is part of the team that designed the Pearl Hotel for Dream City. Am I correct?"
"So what?" Eva snarled at her. Now she's confused about why she starts bringing up all of this.
Hailey didn't answer yet, but picked up her cup and sipped on it. She pursed her lips, then smiled. "It was him, right? The father of that child."
"Huh! And because we were once colleagues, you concluded that he's the father of this child? You're utterly crazy!"
Hailey pushed the corner of her left mouth for a smirk. "Miss Lan, I am sure. I'm not the crazy one here. My child is a labor of love. But what is your purpose, and did you undergo an insemination procedure? Bryan and Howie Gu are from a different breed. Are you seriously thinking of what the child looks like?"
"It's Bryan's child! Stop making up stories!"
The men inside Ray's office were shocked by what Eva did. They wanted to dash outside and run to the VIP room.
Hailey reaches for her left cheek that Eva had slapped. She didn't notice that Eva stood from her seat and rushed to her because she lowered her gaze to look at her tea.
The slap didn't daze her, but the strong perfume Eva is wearing.
"You are slut!" Eva shrieked once more.
"I drugged no one and blackmailed someone! That was your doing! And you didn't do it just once! It was twice! I think it will be the third one as Liam ordered you..."
Hailey didn't finish her sentence when Eva reached for her again and grabbed her hair. She and Hailey fought. She holds Eva's hand to release her hair. And so, she is forced to twist Eva's wrists to let her go.
"Who are you? Why do you know too much!?" she asked. "Ah!"
Eva was thrown on the sofa; she then wailed from pain. "Help me! This woman is crazy! She's trying to hurt me!"
Eva screams as loud as she can. She knew that the waiter was outside. She shrunk her body on the sofa to have the picture that Hailee was beating her up.
She glared at her, who remained standing in front of her. To anyone who could see this, they would think that Hailee attacked her and was beaten up.
And so she keeps crying, curling up on the sofa. Hailey was astounded to see her drama. She laughs at how Drama Queen Eva is, as always. She is the biggest pretentious person.
Not long, the door opens. Immediately, Eva's face lights up to see the man entering the room.
"Bryan! You're here!" she rushed toward Bryan then showed what Hailee had done to her. "Look! That girl is crazy! She invited me here then... Then she did this to me! She wants to kill our child! Bryan, she wants to kill me!"
Watching Eva trying hard to her act, Hailey laughs loudly. Eva cast a dagger look at her, then the corner of her mouth contorted. Eva thinks that her acting is perfect.
Hailey shook her head and rolled her eyes. If only Eva knew what is going on here, she would wish for the ground to eat her. Hailey thought while watching Eva at how she clung to Bryan's body.
"Bryan... Why aren't you speaking?"
Eva cried once more. She throws her arms around Bryan's neck, and with all of her effort, she wails louder.
