Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Easy to Kneel

Owen sat down in the chair and laid his eyes on Hailey’s forehead which was wrapped in gauze. It was Kyle’s work. The gauze was in the shape of a cute rabbit. Her injury was the only fly in the ointment.

She ignored the concern in his eyes and asked in a calm tone, “You’ve been investigating Joe?”

It was not a coincidence that he made it to the scene so fast. Through Sofia, she learned that Owen had been trying to dig up Joe’s background and whereabouts. To do so, he had not only asked his comrades-in-arms for help but also spent good money to hire a bunch of special soldiers.

She was in a coma after the crash and had no idea what happened afterward. When she woke up, she was relieved to learn that Joe had been caught. She thought that it was the credit of those she had deployed there. Brook later told her that it was a chaotic scene when they arrived.

Although Hailey had deployed people there, Joe’s accomplices were also great in number. The two sides fought fiercely. The police were far away. Owen arrived with his men and controlled the situation. Matthew also arrived with his men. Together, they subdued Joe’s men.

Almost all the criminals were killed or arrested. Many people on Owen and Matthew’s side were also injured.

Matthew arrived upon receiving Owen’s message, so Joe’s capture was mainly his credit.

Owen lightly hummed, and Hailey said, “Let Joe’s matter drop. Stop the investigation lest you should be

implicated.”

Her voice was bland, polite, yet distant. Given her tone, she didn’t feel much about his rescue, and her attitude toward him didn’t improve. Owen raised his eyes. The fatigue turned his voice hoarse.

“I know that Joe’s matter is not that simple. Although he was caught, he probably would be sent back to his home country since his nationality is not here, and he’s involved in several major crimes.”

He had a clear understanding of the situation, “So, I can’t sit by. There should be an answer to the Groyfast operation. Although I’m no longer in the army, I can’t live in peace when Joe’s gang is still on the loose.” He explained in detail and said before she could retort, “I want to ask you something.”

“Go ahead,” Hailey said.

“Is there another force causing you trouble besides Joe?”

Hailey’s eyes narrowed. “What did you find out?”

Her reaction confirmed his assumption. He pursed his lips and said slowly, “It’s just my guess. Since Joe came back to Congland, he has been causing you trouble but let you go at the critical moment.”

It was like a cat-and-mouse game. Of course, Owen was not that blunt to put it that way. Hailey might get

annoyed, but it was the truth. Be it the hijacking and explosion at the club or the thugs’ attack, Hailey’s life seemed to be at stake, but Joe gave her chances to escape. He didn’t really mean to kill her. It was the same case this time.
