Chapter 163
Eleanor saw that Hailey had a clear mind and didn’t trust Austin’s sweet talk easily, which made her
feel a little relieved. She was worried that after she passed away, Hailey would be betrayed by Austin
again. This made her feel at a loss.
At this thought, Eleanor’s expression became gloomy. Many troubles came to her mind, making her
feel extremely irritable.
Seeing that Eleanor was still worried, Hailey quickly said, “Don’t worry. I’m not the kind of person who
lets emotions control me. I won’t do stupid things for a man!”
After saying this, Hailey flicked her hair, looking incredibly confident: “I can let go when I need to!”
Then she opened the car door, waved to Eleanor: “I’m off to make big bucks!”
Eleanor was amused by Hailey and waved back: “Drive safely.”
Hailey nodded, put on her sunglasses, got in the car, and coolly backed out of the parking lot and left
the hospital.

heard a loud slap.
Following the sound, Eleanor saw a gorgeously dressed woman standing at the door of the dean’s
office, slapping Liana hard.
She quickly went over and pulled Liana, who was enduring the pain without fighting back.
“Dr. Terrill, are you okay?”
Looking at Liana’s swollen face, Eleanor felt a little heartache.
“I’m fine.”
Liana shook her head at her and looked emotionless at the woman.
“Ms. Valona, you’ve slapped me ten times now. Isn’t it enough?”
Ms. Valona looked at Eleanor, who had stepped out to help Liana. Her face was tight, and there was a
touch of contempt in her eyes.
She rotated her overused wrist, stepped in high heels, and walked up to Liana.
“You should know who sent me to teach you a lesson, right?”
Liana remained calm, nodded, and didn’t dare to resist.
Ms. Valona sneered, then gently patted Liana’s cheek.
“Dean Liana, remember this. Don’t mess with my brother. You can’t afford it.”
After saying this, she turned around, stepped in her high heels, and strode towards the elevator.
“Stop!”
Eleanor observed Ms. Valona’s arrogant demeanor and icily responded, “Either apologize or I’ll call the
police. It’s your choice.”
Ms. Valona hesitated upon hearing this, slowly turning to face Eleanor. Her cold and haughty gaze
swept over her. “Are you threatening me?” she questioned.
Instead of answering, Eleanor took out her phone and began dialing the police.
However, Liana intervened, stopping Eleanor’s hand. “No, she’s Mr. Laurence’s cousin.”
This revelation implied that they couldn’t afford to antagonize someone connected to the influential

Eleanor was taken aback, filled with skepticism. “Why did she hit you?” she inquired. According to the
hierarchy, Liana was under Bernard’s supervision, so Ms. Valona, as his cousin, shouldn’t have
assaulted her.
But Liana clarified, “She was simply following orders.”
The person who wanted to embarrass Liana was not Joelle Valona but Bernard’s mother, Joelle’s aunt.
As for why Bernard’s mother wanted to hit her, it was probably because Sophie had been stirring things
up behind the scenes.
Liana touched her face and told Eleanor, “It’s just a minor injury. Don’t worry, and don’t provoke her.”
She wanted to take Eleanor to the dean’s office together, but Joelle didn’t seem to want to let them go
so easily,
“Wait a moment…”
She walked in her high heels, twisting her graceful waist, step by step to Eleanor.
With a haughty and contemptuous look, she sized Eleanor up and down, as if looking at prey. Her eyes
gradually became strange.
“Not bad–looking. You’d be perfect for making some money at my family’s club…”
