“I left my phone in the kitchen.”
“Do you want it now? Or do you want to wait till you are a bit calm?”
“I know it sucks to make decisions in the heat of the moment but I don’t think everything about Vanessa is worth thinking twice.”
“It still baffles me how she has managed to remain confident over the years, knowing she has been a source of sorrow to a lot of people.
Debbie shrugged. “That’s how evil people are. They’ve got no heart so they don’t feel anything when they hurt people. They don’t care as long as they get what they want.”
Hailey sniffled, trying so hard to stop herself from crying but she had no idea why she was finding it difficult.
“It’s okay, babe. Please don’t cry anymore. You are under the weather already and I don’t want your sickness to get worse. I also don’t want Ollie and Enzo to come see you this way.”
“I’m trying not to. But the tears won’t stop coming. I don’t know if it’s the hormones or the fact that Vanessa brought my innocent mother as part of her schemes. I would honestly overlook every attack from her not because I am stupid or I don’t know how to fight for myself but because I have always known that she is a bitter person so her actions don’t move me but she honestly got me this time.”
“I was sad when she pulled a stunt on Cole. Sad and furious but with this, I feel so much pain; as though I have been stabbed in my back. I remember seeing one comment wishing me dead.” Hailes pointed at herself.”
“Humans are cruel. Very cruel.”
“Now I wish I didn’t show you the post.”
the post,” Debbie said, feeling terrible..
“I would know regardless. If we switched on the TV, I’m sure this is what will be trending on gossip news. I am not at work but I’m sure my staff would be aware of this. The whole word even. This is definitely going to affect my kids too. Parents could start telling their wards to not be friends with the twins.”
Debbie sighed deeply. I’m so sorry this had to happen. But I agree with you. Vanessa has to go down for real this time. Let me go get my phone.” “Debble rose to her feet and left for the kitchen, She returned in two minutes with her device.
“I gave the boys some healthy snacks so they would get occupied,” Debbie said, taking a seat beside Hailey. She unlocked her phone with her face ID and handed the device to Hailes.
“What do you have in mind?”
“To send a four man gang over to her place who will beat the shit out of her, then hand her over to the police”
“I wish she wasn’t pregnant,” Hailey added.
“Yeah, She’s with child. So that makes it so hard to personally deal with her.”
Halley turned her glance away from Debbie and then turned her attention to her phone. She went to the call log and began to punch in some digits. She dialed the number and placed the phone on speaker, in between herself and Debbie.
Debbie wasn’t surprised that Halley was dialing a number offhand. She knew numbers were her thing. Hailes could recite the phone numbers of people really close to her even in their sleep.
“Hello, Ludacris Jenrol speaking” The deep masculine voice came through.
13:30 Sat, 6 Jul
Hailey heaved a deep sigh, hoping no one would detect she had been crying. “Hi Cris, it’s Halley.”
“Hailey, I called you already. Felt you were busy so I left you a text.”
“Yeah, my phone is somewhere I don’t know,” Hailey mumbled, massaging her temple with her free hand while holding onto the phone with
her other hand.
“I guess you’ve seen or heard what happened.”
“Yes, And I’m so sorry about that. I didn’t want to take any decision without consulting you first. Do you want us to go the civil way or NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
criminal?”
“Can we do both?” Hailey asked.
“Sure! We can claim damages for defamation–civil claims and then bring an action under criminal claims so she gets sentenced for her
actions.
“Good, I want her to be in jail for a very long time and I’m going to be demanding 500 billion dollars as damages.”
Debbie’s eyes went wide.
“I think 500 billion is small though. I was thinking 700 to 800 billion. Her lawyers are going to want to try to bargain so we need to raise the bar very high.”
“Okay, 500 billion for general damages, and the remaining 300 can go for specific damages which is to be paid immediately.” Hailey said.
“I don’t know how you are going to do it Cris but I want her behind bars. If not forever, then for a very long time.”
“I didn’t do anything when she made accusations against Cole because I
anymore.”
I was considering the baby she is carrying. But I can’t stand her
“Lunderstand, Hailey but I promise you that she will be fine in jail. She’s not going to be the only pregnant woman there. It’s just that the law wouldn’t just throw pregnant women in jail until there is sufficient evidence that they are harmful to society. Or she could be under strict monitoring, then her sentence would start after the child has been born and weaned.”
“Okay. I will have someone from the office send you evidence of her being involved in fraud. I really wish she didn’t do a clean job about my accident. She would be in jail right now.”
“Don’t worry, Hailes, she is going to go down for real this time around.”
“I really hope.”
“Trust me. Let me get straight to work. I will get back to you before the end of today.”
“Thank you,” Hailey mumbled. “She was about to end the call when he stopped her.
se to the accusations? Like an interview?”
“Would you like to give any response to
Hailey stared at Debbie who shrugged.
“….I don’t know. I haven’t thought about it. But what do you think?” Hailey asked her lawyer.
“It’s up to you. You may choose to and you may choose not to. It’s not certain that Vanessa would clear the air so you might want to do it But think about it and let me know what you decide”
“Okay, thank you.”
“You are welcome. The lawyer said, ending the call.
