Chapter 522
She just wanted her uncle to teach Haley a lesson, was it so difficult?
"Uncle Cauth, you don't know, this woman is particularly hateful. She relies on her good looks, is very arrogant, and even insults me for being ugly, saying that we have no manners."
"Is that so?" Cauth's face turned serious. "She dares to bully our Lumi Family, do they think we are pushovers?"
"Have you heard of the most beautiful woman in Watertown, Uncle? She is indeed beautiful, but she shouldn't humiliate people like this." Ava pretended to cry as she took out her phone, opened a photo, and said, "Uncle Cauth, look, she has a fox-like face. My boyfriend was seduced by her tricks. I really love my boyfriend so much, Uncle. You must help me teach her a lesson."
As she spoke, she never got a response.
Turning her head, she saw Cauth's eyes fixed on her phone screen, even snatching the phone away.
"Uncle, what's wrong?" Ava asked, puzzled, furrowing her brows.
Cauth swallowed hard, then asked slowly, "Who did you say this girl is?"
"She is the most beautiful woman in Watertown who occasionally appears in the headlines, relying on her good looks to seduce various men. I heard she even gave birth to two illegitimate children."
"Shut up!" Cauth's cold voice made Ava jump.
In her impression, her uncle was gentle and never got angry, no matter what happened. This was the first time he spoke to her in such a harsh tone.
Her eyes reddened as she bit her lip. "Uncle Cauth, did I say something wrong?"
"You are a lady, yet you insult other girls behind their backs. Perhaps this girl didn't say anything wrong; we didn't educate you well."
Ava widened her eyes. "Uncle Cauth, you're actually speaking up for a woman who bullied me. She stole my boyfriend, why can't I say a few words about her?"
"I don't want to hear the word 'whore' a second time."
Cauth glanced at her, threw the phone, and hurriedly left.
Ava stomped her foot in anger, holding the phone.
Just a moment ago, her uncle seemed willing to help her vent, but why did he change so drastically after seeing Haley's photo?
Back at the hospital room, Mrs. Winston brought four children to visit.
She held a booklet and placed it in front of Haley, smiling. "This is a display of wedding scenes, these are wedding dress styles, these are the styles of the second dress, these are the jewelry to wear on the engagement day, and this is the dessert table setting. Just tell me your favorite, and I'll have it arranged."
Looking at the dozens of booklets in front of her, Haley didn't know where to start choosing.
But it was just an engagement, was this too much fuss?
"Mom, Haley and I have discussed it." Ivan spoke up, "Let's keep the engagement simple, and we can have a big celebration at the wedding later."
Mrs. Winston's face turned serious. "No, the Winston family hasn't had a big banquet in over twenty years. This time, it must be grand and special, letting everyone in Watertown know about our joy!"
As Ivan was about to persuade Mrs. Winston, Haley suddenly tugged at his arm.
She handed him her phone, squinting. "Our engagement has made it to the headlines in Watertown news."
Mrs. Winston was stunned and immediately explained, "I only told a few close friends about the engagement. They couldn't have leaked it to the media."
Haley and Ivan exchanged a glance.
They had only told a few close friends and family, who would never disclose such information to the media.
So, who leaked the news of their engagement?
