Chapter 298 He towered overat six feet, nearly draggingdown in the haste.
I staggered, my curse barely forming before Haley stormed over, her face a stormy shade of fury. I found Haley ugly for a moment, wondering how I had ever thought her attractive.
Perhaps the saying, "Beauty is only skin deep," rang true, for Haley's inner ugliness had seeped through, distorting her once pleasant features.
"Jimmy, get over here," Haley snapped at her brother, her voice laced with venom.

'What a mess.' I cursed silently, commanding, "Let go!" "Help me, Licia," Jimmy clung tolike a barnacle, his voice whining.
Gritting my teeth, I suddenly lifted my foot and stomped on Jimmy's hard.
"Ouch!" His grip loosened with his cry of pain, and after shaking off his hand, I walked away.
But Haley blocked my path, prompting a fierce glare from me. "Move." "Felicia, I didn't know you could be so cold and cruel," Haley accused.
Her words ignited my anger, but I retorted without hesitation, "If you're sick, Haley, go get treated." "Things between you and Rad are over, but you still let the Wagner family humiliate me, makinga laughingstock. Yes, I got kicked out, but Rad would have arranged somewhere else forto stay. Do you think you've won?" Her accusation made everything clear.
Jacqueline had followed through, kicking her out of the house.
Just the day before, I was trying to stop Jacqueline, but I thought she did a splendid job.
So, facing Haley's murderous glare, I mocked, "It doesn't matter whether I win. As long as you're disgusted, I'm satisfied." Haley's face turned pale with my jab. "This doesn't benefit you." "Benefits?" I smirked lightly, "Your misery is my greatest benefit." She wanted to paintas the wicked witch? Fine, I would own it. "You..." Haley's lips trembled, at a loss for words.

Jimmy's wails toldHaley was taking out her frustration on him. I quickened my pace, documents in hand, heading for my car to have speace to read them. But fate had other plans, and as I reached my car, 1 bumped into Conrad.
Our cars were parked side by side as if by stwist of fate.
Not in the mood to deal with him, I attempted to get into my car, but he stopped me, "Felicia." I didn't turn around, saying, "I'm busy," before trying to enter my car again.
Yet, Conrad held the car door,
stopping me. At that moment, I only wanted to read my parents' accident report, but it seemed everyone had conspired to delay me. Annoyed, I snapped, "What do you want, Conrad? Let go. I've got nothing to say to you." "My mom kicked Haley out of the house. Did you know that?" His gaze was intense, almost accusing.
Though it was a question, his tone suggested he had already judged me. After ten years together, he still sawas capable of such pettiness. How laughable our past. love seemed.
I didn't bother to deny it. Instead, I responded with venom, "It has never venom, '!! been Haley's home. It was about tshe left." Ashburn X
