Chapter 242 - 156 In the end, it was Hailey Hill who deceived him_2
Atlas Hallow’s chair slowly rotated, and his face, like an ice sculpture, exuded a suffocating indifference.
"Is there something you need?"
Could she not seek him out without a reason? But Hailey Hill dared not voice this question.
She only gazed at him with a hurt expression in her eyes.
"Atlas, I have thought it over. The man I have always loved is you..." Hailey’s voice was not loud, but very resolute.
"You promised to give me a child to comfort me for my lifelong tragic experiences, and I feel you shouldn’t go back on your word." It was not that she was foolishly obsessed, but she knew that only a child could keep Atlas Hallow forever entwined with her. What if she ended up the winner in the end?
"I’ve already said, it’s impossible. If this child is forced upon me, it will not be blessed from birth. Do you want your child to come into the world unblessed?" Atlas coldly rejected, knowing that agreeing to this would only be the start of a tragedy.
He already foresaw Hailey bringing a child into his life, endlessly entwined with him for the rest of his days.
"Moreover, Hailey, I haven’t treated you too poorly over the years, yet there are many things you’ve hidden from me, not shared with me!" As Atlas’s low voice fell slowly, Hailey looked into his eyes, seemingly no longer recognizing him; the coldness was like that of a devil encased in ice.
The aura emanating from his indifferent lips was even more chilling.
Hailey closed her eyes, a wave of unease swelling in her heart, becoming more intense with Atlas’s every reaction.
This man, she never truly understood, and perhaps will never truly grasp.
"Recently, I asked my father why he insisted on removing your uterus and ovaries. Hailey, you never told me you negotiated with him?" Even though Atlas was opposed, he didn’t think his father would go to such lengths.
Why did Flix Hallow insist on removing Hailey Hill’s ovaries and uterus? This time, Flix seemed to have succumbed, candidly telling Atlas that Hailey was blinded by greed, and if she had to leave, she demanded an astronomical sum.
At first, Flix Hallow thought he could provide this money, even if it was astronomical, hoping only for the Hallow Family’s peace. But Hailey promised that if Atlas sought her out, she would continue with him, and if Atlas wanted her to bear a child, she would give birth without hesitation. She hoped that after she bore a child, Flix would let her join the Hallow Family.
This was why Austin Hallow abruptly removed Hailey’s uterus and ovaries.
If Hailey had honestly told him about this initially, he would have discussed it with his father and then offered her sufficient money to end it. He wasn’t a stingy person, but these were conducted behind his back. Already at twenty, she knew how to negotiate with an old businessman like his father, showing that after all these years, Atlas hadn’t truly seen through Hailey Hill.
Hailey was utterly stunned. Such deceit—could Flix really make up such lies?
He actually spoke such things, but the real reason was much worse than this, forcing Flix into silence, wasn’t it?
Eyes cast downward, even her body was trembling.
"Hailey, I’ve told you before, let’s part amicably, so don’t come again." Did the Hallow Clan contact me? I’ve already arranged your future. If you need a child, I’ll find a man to provide the healthiest, excellent sperm for you. You’ll have a healthy child—it’s all I can do for you, and I’ve done quite a lot." After Atlas finished, he signaled she could leave.
Atlas Hallow was such a man; many did not understand his true nature. Hailey thought she could freely request, and Atlas would give continually, but when he reached his limits, his indifference came faster than others, catching one off guard.
It felt like suddenly falling from heaven to earth.
"It’s not like this." Hailey wanted to say more, but the words seemed pale and powerless.
