Love Is Fair

Chapter 272 The Familiar Eyes
Hearing the name, all the people there moved their gaze to Owen.
Owen’s face didn’t change as if he didn’t care about Eliza at all. He just asked, “That man’s family name is Joe, right?” Both
Hailey and Sofia were shocked. “How would you know that?” They had heard clearly Eliza call that bearded man Mr. Joe. Owen
pressed his lips together with his face extremely cold.
To guarantee the privacy of customers, the open spring pools were all separated with exported clapboards. Therefore, the pool
they stayed in was open, but the fights and the quarrels there wouldn’t be heard by other customers. Even if the sounds were so
loud to draw other customers’ attention, they wouldn’t care. After all, nowadays people cherished their own happiness, and even
wouldn’t bother to
help others.
Thanks to the couples’ complaints, Owen and Jared got the clue and quickly checked the list of customers and found the name,
Eliza Brown. They noticed that Eliza was a VIP customer and today she came here for a valentine’s activity with her couple who
just left his
family name, Joe, on the check-in
Bob happened to be in the club and got a deep impression of “Mr. Joe”. “He came here with many bodyguards as if he were to
do a film. He also asked the staff here not to disturb him. Since he had so many guards, I didn’t arrange for any staff to follow
him. If I had done it, Hailey and Sofia wouldn’t have been kidnapped. I am so sorry.” He felt prickles in his conscience because
Hailey and Sofia encountered
danger in his club.
Wade was angry that he forced Bob to close the club after scolding him for a long while. He knew that money was way less
important
than the safety and if his son was involved in a murder case, that would be great trouble.
Bob was still frightened even after he had called the police several times.
Hailey and Sofia told the whole detailed story to others who then remained silent for a while.

Brook rubbed his jaw with flashes of light across his eyes as if he were an experienced detective. “This case seems like an
accident. But I
am not sure. It’s still suspicious.”
Matthew nodded. “I agree with you.”
“What you said is meaningless. We all know that Jared glanced at them with disdain. “Could you say something important?”
Both Brook and Matthew were unhappy. They thought. We did a big help! We got the trace of Hailey and Sofia through high-tech
skills.
Without us, you wouldn’t have been able to get there in time. They didn’t say what they were thinking about, however, because
many
others here were elder than them. They just dared to complain inwardly.
“It’s not an accident,” said Hailey a bit hoarsely, which riveted all the others’ attention. Although she looked quite weak, her words
were
somehow powerful. “It might be a coincidence to meet Eliza. But later ‘Mr. Joe’ kidnapped us, which is in no way an accident.”
Owen dwelled on her words, grim-faced. He didn’t know the relationship between “Mr. Joe” and Eliza, but he did know that Eliza
had had
sex with men abroad.
“I don’t want to see Eliza’s face again. So gross.” Thinking of the scene where Eliza made love with a man, Sofia felt sick and
turned to
Owen. “Why would you fall in love with her in the past? Eliza, such a woman, oh no. I think, maybe you should see a doctor for
that.” Then
she added, “Thank God you didn’t marry her. Otherwise, she would have cheated on you countless times and the men she had
slept with
would be a long list. Good luck to you.”

Jared was amused by her sharp statement and Matthew already burst into laughter.
The name Eliza had become Owen’s stigma that would never disappear. Even though he didn’t love her anymore, she still left a
scar on his
heart. He didn’t talk back while receiving Sofia’s criticism. I deserve that and I won’t blame anyone else!
Ryan didn’t pay much attention to what Eliza had done. He just asked with a kind of puzzle, “Why did “Mr. Joe’ kidnap you and
even want
to kill you? Just because you saw them make love?”
Sofia frowned. “I am confused too. I haven’t figured out why that happened. Once Eliza saw us, she was in a panic. I guess she
was afraid that we would tell Steven about her affair so she asked Mr. Joe’s guards to catch us. Then we had a fight. I just
thought that it was just a fight so I didn’t beat them hard. But at last, they put a gun against my head.”
“Mr. Joe” dared to commit murder in a public place with a gun, which meant that he was not an ordinary man. It was likely that he
was at
merciless killer.
Ryan tumed to Jared. “You don’t know about that man, do you?”
Jared looked senous. “No. I haven’t heard of a man with whiskers or something. Maybe he is a rookie.” He looked at Matthew
and asked,
“Do you know about him?”
Matthew shook his head and said, “I have done some investigation. But there’s no result so far. I guess he is a foreigner.”
Hearing the word, foreigner, Hailey held her breath and recalled the man’s eyes. She couldn’t help shivering slightly.
Owen had fixed his eyes on Hailey from the beginning so he noticed her movement quickly and frowned. “Hailey, what’s wrong?
How do
you feel? Are you comfortable?” He then covered her with the quilt anxiously and felt sorry for her white weary face. “Well. Don’t
ask her

questions anymore. She needs a good rest,” suggested Owen, who helped her lie down on the bed.
Hailey didn’t refuse his help and lay down obediently because she was quite tired.
After that, she said, “He’s right. I want to stay by myself. Leave me alone, thanks.” Then she closed her eyes
Knowing that the escape consumed her lots of energy, all the others stopped asking and left the ward.
Unlike Hailey, Sofia was still vigorous as if nothing had happened to her.
Jared sized Sofia up and asked, “How about you? Do you need a rest?”
“I am okay. Just a little bit of ache in my waist. I just need to lie somewhere for a while.” Sofia waved her hands casually.
Looking at her, Jared asked caringly, “Really? You almost died there. Aren’t you scared?”
“Well, but I am still alive,” she answered at ease. Meeting Jared’s surprised gaze, she smiled. “Hey, don’t worry. My job is to
escape from
death and I have gotten used to it. I am not a common woman.”
“Even if you are stronger, you still need to rest.” Jared directly shouldered her and looked for an empty ward for her.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!”
Owen closed the door outside the ward. He didn’t leave immediately; instead, he stared at Hailey through the glass in the door.
He was
quite upset because he thought that Hailey still hid something from him. But he wouldn’t force her to tell it.
Once Hailey closed her eyes, she could see the familiar eyes. The eyes were aloof, fierce, and ruthless, which were fixed on her
like those
of a serpent. In her mind, the owner of the eyes said mercilessly, “Don’t worry. I won’t kill you so soon.” She thought. “That’s him.
He is still
alive.”
