Chapter 897
Haley shot Bryan a look and said, "Didn't I tell you to hit me up if you had any issues? You said you would, but you didn't do squat."
Bryan frowned. "Haley, this is no big deal. You feeling better?"
"I'm good," Haley replied with a small smile. "We've got twelve days left in this assessment. Don't screw it up."
Bryan nodded like his life depended on it.
It seemed like a contest between Haley and Ava for the inheritance, but it was actually him versus Ava.
If he lost, neither he nor his dad would will be the laughing stock of the Lumi Family again.
"If anything goes down in the future, don't keep me in the dark," Ivan said coolly. "I'm Haley's husband; you can hit me up anytime."
Bryan nodded like a bobblehead. "Got it."
Every time Bryan video-called Haley during this period, he could hear Ivan in the background. Sometimes Ivan was cooking, sometimes hanging clothes, other times sweeping the floor.
He couldn't wrap his head around how a guy like Ivan could do all that domestic stuff.
But it made him believe that all those online rumors about Haley and Ivan's rocky relationship were total BS.
After checking out the project site, Haley and Ivan headed to the Winston Group.
Ivan dumped all the piled-up documents from the past few days into the car's trunk, and they drove home. After a quick outing, Haley felt way better.
Ivan took the documents to the study to go through, while she chilled in the living room with a book.
After reading just a few lines, Martin's familiar voice echoed in her head.
Haley's whole body tensed up. She struggled to get back to her room step by step and gently closed the door.
She finally believed Martin hadn't lied; there were more controllers like the earring one.
"Haley, you cut my neck. As payback, why don't you give Ivan a cut too?"
Martin's voice kept echoing in her mind.
With sheer willpower, Haley tied her hands behind her back, fighting the voice.
"You were willing to hurt me, so why not do the same to Ivan? Go on, Haley. Just one cut. One cut and you won't be in so much pain."
Martin's seductive voice kept chipping away at Haley's mental defenses.
The back of her head hurt like hell, and she felt like she was being torn in two.
One half screamed to rush over and follow the command, while the other half held back, ready to die in the bedroom.
Haley cried out in pain and fell off the bed. But no matter how much it hurt, her hands stayed tied.
No way was she gonna hurt Ivan! As long as she was conscious, she wouldn't harm the Ivan who loved her the most!
She was in agony! Her whole body felt like her bones were clashing!
Haley rolled on the floor, crashing into the table, causing a glass to fall and shatter.
"Haley, what's going on?" Ivan burst through the door.
When he saw Haley writhing in pain on the floor, his face went pale.
