Chapter 059 Come And Ride On My Coattails The door was not closed tightly, as if it was opened for her, and it could be opened with a slight push. Ava entered Hailey’s room and whispered, “Sister, haven’t you slept yet?” “You too.” Hailey closed the book, propped herself up, and sat straight, looking up at her, “If you have something to say, come over here.” Ava walked over. She was wearing cartoon pajamas made of pure cotton, which had turned white after washing. Stepping on the expensive Persian rug, she felt like she couldn’t walk normally on it, and her whole body was full of restraint. “Sit down.” Hailey asked her to sit down, pulled a shawl, and threw it to Ava, “I’m not used to turning on the air conditioner. It’s a little cold in the room. Put on it, don’t catch a cold.” “Thank you, sister.” Ava thanked her obediently, then sat
down on the chair. Her hands were on her knees, and her legs were straight. Hailey couldn’t help laughing at her series of small movements. In the past three years, she had played a well-behaved and gentle image in front of Owen. The prototype she imitated was her cousin, and her acting was not bad. After all, Owen had been deceived by her for three years.- Since Ava met Hailey, who had always been cold and suddenly smiled, Ava was taken aback, “Sister?” “It’s okay. I just remembered something funny.”- The smile in Hailey’s eyes was fleeting, leaving a hint of coolness, “What’s the matter?” Ava raised a pair of big round eyes and looked at Hailey with burning eyes, “Where have you been all these years? How are you?” Hailey’s eyes flashed. She didn’t expect this to be the first thing Ava would say to her. “I went to another city and experienced a different life.” Hailey also asked her, “How about you?” “It’s still like that.” Ava twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled, “It’s been like this since I was a child, and I’m used to it. It doesn’t matter whether it’s good or bad.” Hailey looked at her and said, “I heard your dad got another wife.” The bottom of Ava’s eyes darkened, and she lowered her eyes, “Yes, he married another one, which is very beautiful. And she is the champion of the Miss Chinese Contest.” She said with a smile on her face, but she couldn’t hide the sarcasm behind her smile. Hailey looked at it and sighed inwardly: Each family had its own problems. Her grandfather lived in poverty all his life and gave birth to three sons. The eldest, Scott, was the most promising one. He founded Crystaldale Company and
became a successful entrepreneur but died young. The second child, Morgan, had been good at business calculations since he was a child. He was originally one of the best in the business. He became the manager of a state-owned enterprise by fawning on. Later, when he saw that Scott was doing well, he was very jealous, so he also went together. As for the third child, Reid had high aims but low abilities and lost while playing. He didn’t work a full day of work seriously. He lived with the support of his two brothers. He spent a lot of money. And he was lecherous and changing his wives all the time. Hailey remembered that her mother once commented on the two uncles in front of her father, “Your second brother is a bastard, and the third is even worse. Holy crap!” “Your new stepmother is not kind to you.” Hailey used declarative sentences instead of questions. She checked Ava’s experience over the years and learned that since Reid married this new wife, Ava had no place at home. Not only was she kicked out of the house, but she almost failed to finish school. Ava mocked, “She’s four or five years older than me, she’s pretty, and she can coax people. I can’t fight her, so I can only stay away from her. I can’t afford to offend her, but I can stay away.” Hailey sighed imperceptibly. Having a stepmother was basically equivalent to having a stepfather. If the family was broken, how could her life be better?
“Stop talking about me, sister. I came here to talk to you about something
important.” Ava glanced outside, moved a chair to lean forward, and said in a low voice, “The second sister asked me to come here. Her motives are impure, and she wants me to deceive your trust and join forces to deal with you.””|| know.” There was no surprise on Hailey’s face. Ava opened her eyes in astonishment, “You know it?” Hailey smiled dismissively, “She can’t hide her tricks from me.” Ava blinked, looking at the eldest sister, who was calm and easy, and suddenly understood, “Then you, you already knew that I would come to you, didn’t you?” “You are smarter than her and know who is the real boss in this family.” Hailey patted her leg and said humorously, “I, the boss, isn’t powerful, but you can rely on me.” Ava couldn’t help laughing, revealing neat teeth, “I’m abandoning the dark side and choosing the bright side.” “Well, well said.” Hailey raised her hand and squeezed her cheek lightly, regretfully saying, “When you were a child, this little face was chubby, and it felt very good to hold. Now you are thin and even have a small face.” “Isn’t it fashionable to be thin now? My classmates even envy my small face.” Hailey shook her head, “It doesn’t matter if you’re fat or thin. Your health is the most
