Rachael moved her mouth, trying to say something. But eventually, she just gritted through her teeth and said, “You refuse to go back with me just because you want to make him breakfast? This excuse is totally unacceptable here! I’ve been so nice to you all the time. But is this how you pay me? You even did not offer me any drink since I arrived. But you are making him breakfast! Jesus Christ! I just can’t believe it.”
That was a long accusation.
Hailey felt very guilty too. She immediately took Rachael’s arm and shook. “I’m sorry, Rachael. How about this? You stay here tonight and I will make you a really abundant dinner. How do you like this?”
Rachael reached out and jabbed her in her forehead slightly. “Are you expecting that I will forgive you when you only make me dinner tonight?”
“Oh! I have another idea! Why don’t you come back and live here with us? Then I can make you breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day as long as you wish,” Hailey proposed again. As a matter of fact, she meant every single word she just said. She wanted Rachael to live here. In that case, Rachael would avoid meeting that man who would break her heart and eventually caused her death in a car accident.
“Nah, I prefer not. I don’t want to live here,” Rachael refused immediately as she waved her hand. “Do you know the rose garden of the house? Everyone says that beneath the garden are all human bodies. I don’t want to be haunted by ghosts at midnight. That’s horrible.”
“Hm? They only come after those who killed them. You buried them by yourself.” Edward’s cold voice was heard from behind.
Hailey froze for a moment when she heard him. She immediately sat up straight and let out a bright smile to Edward when he approached. “Hi, Edward.”
“Eh,” he simply responded. Then he sat down on the sofa opposite her.
Hailey asked with a careful tone at once, “Do you want to have some tea? Or what about some fruit? Is everything okay with the work? Are you tired? Did you have lunch on time?”
Questions were thrown out by her one after another, which totally surprised Rachael who opened her eyes wide. She still remembered how it was like when she sent Hailey here before she went abroad. Hailey overturned the table and roared angrily at Edward.
“Why don’t you just kill me and bury me in that garden?” Those were the words Hailey screamed at Edward back at that time.
Edward had grown so angry that he remained a dark face all the time.
But what was wrong today?
Hailey was actually caring about Edward!
Edward took a look at Hailey. Before he asked, Hailey had already begun to tell him everything.
She would not tell him the truth about why she knew the sex scandal, of course. Instead, she made up a story. Here were the details of that story. One of Hailey’s roommates borrowed her laptop to send an email. But she forgot to log out. When Hailey checked the email, she saw all the information about that club…
That was how she ended up knowing everything about the scandal.
In her last life, as a matter of fact, the whole thing also started with an email account. A member of that club borrowed the laptop from a friend to send an email and forgot to log out. That friend discovered everything and got to know that they had been doing the illegal business for about three years.
That boy was not rich. When he discovered it, he did not choose to expose it or ignore it. Instead, he printed those emails and used them to blackmail those members. However, they were not afraid at all. They even threatened him that even if he called the police, they would not be afraid. That boy was not weak, either. He did not tell it to the police. Instead, he exposed it on the Internet!
This scandal immediately blew up on social media because there were many teenage girls were involved in the illegal sex trade. What was worse, the persons behind were a group of high school boys. It hit all headlines in an instant and had caused great negative influence in society. Everyone was talking about it. As a result, even their parents were unable to control the press. More and more people volunteered to investigate it or dig for more information about those suspects. Finally, the whole criminal behavior was totally exposed to everyone…
“So, those bastards wanted to kidnap you. That’s why you hit them and broke their heads to protect yourself. Later, you remembered that they are members of some kind of virginity club. So you just exposed this to the police?” Rachael concluded as she squinted her eyes.
Hailey rested her chin on her hands and nodded with a smile on her face. “Yes. Probably I used too much strength when I beat them. Someone called the police,” she said obediently.
“Good job! How dare they try to kidnap you! I will definitely beat them harder if I were you!” Rachael said angrily as she gritted her teeth. If Hailey did not beat them first, probably she would be dragged into that car. Judging from what Hailey said, they would probably take her to that dirty club. Hailey would end up miserable!
Rachael was scared very much whenever she thought of that possibility.
Edward, on the other hand, tapped on his legs with his fingers, thinking. He clearly recognized that Hailey’s story was full of loopholes. For example, how did she know that those boys were members of that club? A secret organization would train its members very carefully to keep their identity a secret. They would never transfer their information or pictures easily via the Internet.
“How could the No. 1 High School have such immoral students!” Rachael scolded with a hateful voice. She was once a student in that school too.
Edward took a look at Hailey and said, “You don’t need to do anything about it. I will send someone to deal with it.”
Hailey nodded her head obediently. She understood he was protecting her. Those students’ parents were powerful, after all. Although Edward was able to deal with them, there was always sometimes when he had to confront them with difficulty.
“All right. Let’s just forget about them! Hailey, you said you will make me dinner tonight. Try hard and satisfy me! Otherwise, I won’t let you stay here!” Rachael changed the subject.
Hailey immediately sat straight and replied with a confident voice, “Trust me! I won’t disappoint you! You guys take a good rest. I’m going to make dinner now!” As soon as she finished speaking, she rushed to the kitten and began to get started.
After she was gone, there were only Rachael and Edward leaving in the living room.
Rachael cast a sideways look at Edward and asked, “What happened to her?” Hailey was really behaving strangely. If it were the former Hailey, she would never stay with Edward peacefully. What was weirder was that she was being so nice to him! That was totally unbelievable. Rachael looked at Edward from head to toe, being curious. “Did you do something to her?” she asked.
Edward did not bother himself to answer her strange question. “I’m going to America a few days later. You can…”
