Chapter <b>282 </b>


    Melody whipped out her phone and dialed Carly’s number. When thetter heard about Hailey getting stood up at the cinema and even rushed back in the rain, she burst outughing.


    “This is so funny. So what if she’s the daughter of the Lamberts? It’s her fault for being ugly. Melody, you’re amazing. Ewan has absolutely fallen for you.


    Melody smirked. “Rx, Carly. There Il be more interesting stories tomorrow.”


    <b>Carly </bmented, “Serves Hailey right for hanging out with Celine and getting in our way. This will teach her a lesson<b>. </b>


    “I’ll be waiting for your good news, Melody.” “All right<b>, </b>Carly.”


    Celine got back to the dormitoryte that night. The room was pitch ck. Thinking Hailey had not returned, Celine assumed Hailey was having a great


    time


    When Celine reached out to turn on the lights, she spotted <b>a </b>figure curled up on the bed. Hailey had returned and was already asleep.


    Perplexed, Celine said, “Hailey, you’re back. Did you have fun with Ewan?”


    With her <b>back </b>facing Celine, Hailey answered, “I did. I’m tired, Celine. I’m getting some sleep first.”


    cing the nket properly over Hailey, Celine said, “All right. Good night.”


    With that, Celine picked up her pajamas and left to take a shower. Meanwhile, Hailey remained curled up in bed, her face wet with tears.


    By the time Hailey woke up, Celine had already left. The former cried so much that both her eyes were swollen.


    <b>When </b>Hailey got up from the bed to get washed, someone rapped anxiously on the door.


    “Coming,” Hailey said


    The second <b>she </b>opened the door, she froze. Standing at the door was Ewan. He hade to the female dormitory to look for her.


    Hailey wondered if he was there to apologize because she <b>was </b>not nning on forgiving him.


    <b>“</b><b>Why </b>are you here?” asked Hailey,


    Eyeing her with a grim expression, Ewan questioned, “Why did you send people to beat Melody up?”


    Hailey was stunned. “Melody was beaten up?”


    “<b>Yes</b>. They beat her up and even warned her to not mess with you next time,” said Ewan.


    Snapping out of her shock, Hailey replied, “I didn’t send anyone to beat Melody up.”


    Refusing to believe her, Ewan scolded disgustedly, “I can’t believe you’re so evil. I’m warning you, don’t you dare mess with Melody again in the future.”


    Hailey let out a bitterugh. She thought Ewan <b>had </b><be </b>to make it up to her, but he was only there to seek justice for Melody.


    Hailey never sent anyone to beat Melody up. The only possibility was that Melody nned all that to frame Hailey. However, instead of believing Hailey, her fiance was siding with Melody.


    “Ewan, you never liked me, right?” Hailey finally asked.


    Staring at Hailey’s birthmark, Ewan said, “Look in the mirror. How could I like a face like that? You’re not worthparing to Melody.”


    Hailey felt as if her heart were tearing into pieces. Both Ewan and Melody were the most popr students in the university. They were practically made for reach other. Hailey did not understand why Ewan still pursued her.


    “Ewan, you pursued me first. You were the one who said I was pretty-


    Ewan instantly interrupted her with a disgusted tone, “Don’t be so naive, Hailey. Did you think I’d say that if <b>you </b>weren’t the daughter of the Lamberts?


    “It’s my parents who want me to marry you. In reality, I don’t even like you. But thanks to you, I can’t even <b>pursue </b>the woman I like. You’re just an ugly
