A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 242

Hailey's expression paused for a moment, and then quickly showed a hint of disgust.

"Do you know why he didn't let me go to his hometown back then?"

"Because of Allysha?"

Hailey nodded and started to tell her about what happened back then:

"Austin and Allysha are not biological siblings, they've been together for a while, and both of their parents agreed to it. But to satisfy Allysha's vanity, she wanted Austin to buy a high-end house in the city. But they couldn't afford the house prices in A City. In order to buy a house, Austin started targeting me.

"He knew I was an orphan, and that I was just selling drinks at a nightclub for work, so he pretended to be friendly and approached me. In the end, he successfully made me fall in love with him, but later I found out that his relationship with Allysha was fishy."

"On the night I found out you were dying of heart failure, I saw them doing it in the hospital, but I didn't want you to worry about me before you died, so I didn't tell you the truth and lied to you that there was nothing going on between them. In fact, they've been fooling me all along."

After hearing all this, Eleanor sat up straight and hugged Hailey tightly, feeling heartbroken for her.

After Hailey and Austin got together, she worked hard to make more money and relieve Austin's financial pressure.

What's infuriating is that the man Hailey thought she could rely on for a lifetime was actually lying to her all along.

This cruel truth was discovered when she learned that Eleanor was about to die. Hailey must have been devastated back then.

She hugged Hailey, trying to ease the pain in her heart with an embrace, but Hailey patted her back with a smile.

"It's okay, I was in pain for a while after I found out the truth, but then I became strong."

"I installed cameras in our house, recorded all their dirty deeds, and sent them to a lawyer."
