Love Is Fair by Kerri novel Chapter 171

Chapter 171 You Are Not Worthy Seeing Jodie and Henric stop at the door, Hailey looked up and saw Owen. She frowned slightly. ‘Why is he all everywhere? How annoying. She put her laptop down, stood up, and walked toward the door. “What are you waiting for?” Her cold tone indicated that she was impatient. “We’re leaving. Bye, Ms. Newman,” Jodie led Henric away quickly. The bath towel was left in the doorway.. Owen was so angry that he wanted to kill them. He gritted his teeth and asked coldly, “I can’t believe you’re this nasty!” Hailey froze and realized what he meant. It was indeed misleading, but she had no need to explain it to him. “None of your business!” She just kicked the towel into the bathroom and asked the bodyguard to have the cleaning lady come in and clean it up. Then she was about to close the door. “Wait!” Owen blocked the door and glanced at Hailey’s dress and makeup. He realized he had misunderstood her. He pursed his lips. “I’m angry. You’re not like that. You wouldn’t like that kind of man.” He was explaining for having misunderstood her, but Hailey didn’t care. “Mr. Moore, do you know me well?” She said with a sneer, “IS there anything else you want to say? If not, I’m going to sleep.” “I have something to ask you!” Owen blocked the door again with an anxious look on his face. “I want to ask you about Dr. Grace.” Hailey, “Go ahead.” Owen, “Can I come in?” Hailey, “No.” Owen could only continue at the door, “Do you and Dr. Grace know each other?” Hailey, “Yeah.” “You know each other well?” “Yeah.” “How well?” Hailey frowned. “Are you out of your mind?” Instead of getting angry, Owen said, “I’d like to ask her to check my leg and thank her for saving my life three years ago.” “No need.” Hailey lost patience and looked at his leg indifferently. “Since you came here from Poya, it means there’s nothing wrong with your leg. There’s a clinic to the left of the hotel. Bye.” Owen said, “You’re not Grace. I’m not listening to you.” Seeing that Hailey was about to lose her temper, he added, “Three years ago, Dr. Grace appeared in North City to operate on me. Did you invite her?” He stared into Hailey’s face with an expectant look in his dark eyes. But Hailey’s face remained expressionless. “So what if I did? So what if I didn’t?” Owen pursed his lips. “I wanted to see her.” Hailey was furious. “Then go see her. I’m not stopping you. You don’t have to ask my permission. I’m not going to help you!” With that, she tried to close the door again and Owen still stopped her. She kicked him hard in the calf. He let go of the door in pain and it slammed shut in front of him. His leg had healed so she showed him no mercy. ‘You want to see Grace? You’re not worthy!’

Henric didn’t sleep well. He finally lay in the comfortable bed in a luxurious room. He should have slept well, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he could see Dorian rolling down the mountain with his leg covered in blood and Hailey’s cold eyes. He was right. Hailey had come to avenge Dorian. She was not interested in him at all. She asked him questions in her room just to let him let his guard down so he would tell the truth. But he was confused. Why did she let him play Richard when she already knew he pushed Dorian? Why did she give him such a nice room? Shouldn’t she have kicked him out of the crew and called the police? Henric sat up suddenly, sweat dripping from his forehead. He was drenched in sweat and his heart was pounding. He even felt like a million ants were gnawing at his heart. He didn’t know what Hailey was going to do. What should he do? He was afraid he would lose everything..

He tossed and turned all night. The crew started work early in the morning. The cast was in place. They shot a few fight scenes and Henric

did his make-up.

The make-up artist tried to cover his dark circles but couldn’t cover his bloodshot eyes. The crew was snobbish. They despised Henric before, but since he was favored by the investor and the producer, they were sure that he would become popular soon. They asked with concern, “Henric, did you not sleep well?” Henrie said with his eyes closed, “Hmm.” He was still confused and stunned by last night. He didn’t know how he was going to perform

today. The make-up artist dressed him as Richard, but he looked in the inirror and had no confidence. Not only he but also the whole crew felt it was awkward. To be honest, the director had a good eye. Richard looked cold but was actually

kind. He had a clear goal and his eyes were clear, Dorian was handsome and tall and fit the costume perfectly while Henric was not gentle enough and his eyes darted. Their temperament was too different. Henric performed for a while and it was silent. No actor could bear an awkward and silent atmosphere. An actor must be very confident in

himselt. Once he felt he didn’t match the character, he could never act well. If he didn’t believe in himself, how could he impress the

+20 audience? Hailey went to the set to see Henric perform. She knew he would fail. Can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Nothing should ever belong to him. He had to earn it. Otherwise, he would lose everything sooner or later. Chris took a call and reported to Hailey, “Ms. Newman, Dorian heard he was recast and he’s getting out of the hospital…” Hailey frowned. “Let’s go to the hospital.” When would these troublemakers stop bothering her?
