Chapter 326 They Were All Traitors
Out of sight of Hailey, Karl quietly smiled crookedly.
Hailey was so relieved that she quickly lifted her skirt and rushed out to her room.
After the maid helped her to take off the puffy dress with the corseted waist, Hailey took three long breaths. It was torture to wear such a gown, and she didn’t know why those medieval ladies could bear it.
She changed into a slightly looser and more comfortable dress. Not daring to keep Karl waiting, she forced herself to go. back and continue writing her self-criticism.
Originally, she wanted to take this opportunity to plead with Karl and admit her mistake, but Karl’s expression really didn’t look very good.
It would be better for her not to provoke him now, lest she was punished even harder.
She’d better write the self-criticism honestly.
Only by cutting and pasting, she had finished the 3,000-word self-criticism, and to write 6,000 words was killing her! Betting on all the education and learning she had received over the years, Hailey turned into the literary god, writing several sheets of rice paper full of words.
It was only when her wrists were sore and she was almost spitting out white foam that she finally finished writing the 6,000 words.
Hailey put down the brush, moved her wrist, and exhaled deeply before spreading the self-criticism flat. She carefully stacked up all the self-criticism neatly and held it in front of Karl.
When he waited for her to write about self-criticism, Karl had finished reading three books and was leaning drowsily on the couch with his head propped up by his hands.
“Finished writing?” He asked softly.
Hailey nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, not daring to open her mouth for fear that Karl would find fault with her and punish her again.
Karl had a lot of tactics to fix her.
She was going to vomit blood if she kept writing.
When Karl took the self-criticism she had written, held them in his hand, and looked at them over one by one, he went from looking lazy to expressionless, and then his eyebrows gradually knitted up and twisted into knots.
In the end, he raised his eyes, “Is this the self-criticism you wrote?”
Hailey’s heart instantly seized up, “Yes.”
“Whom did you learn from to cut and paste like that?”
Karl’s face was full of disgust.
Hailey muttered in a low voice, “I learned it from no one.”
“What?”
Karl became serious and looked like a stern teacher in a school in the old days.
“Nothing.”
Hailey wimped out in the next second with a strong survival instinct, grunting, “Karl, please give me a break, and my wrist is swollen. Look…
She showed her red wrist to Karl, who was not at all concerned with her, but instead added insult to injury.
“You deserve it.”
Hailey, “..
Karl indifferently pulled out a piece of rice paper, handed it to Hailey, and said, “Read this one.”
“Oh.”
Hailey took it, looked at the words on it, and slowly read out, “I should not have been capricious, using myself as bait and risking my life
As she read here, she slowly lowered her voice and slowly stopped.

Karl’s eyes were cold, without any emotion, “Why don’t you read it?”
Hailey couldn’t read any further and she looked at Karl with an embarrassed smile.
“Karl, you know all about it?”
Karl looked at her coldly.
“You never wanted to go to social occasions like parties and balls. When you were a child, you refused to go even if you were forced to go, but now you are standing in the spotlight everywhere to make people know you are here.”
He snorted lightly. “You think I don’t know you have another purpose?”
Hailey didn’t know what to say at this point.
With her expression changing, she stopped joking with Karl and looked him straight in the eyes in a serious manner.
“Karl, you are right, and I do have another purpose.”
Hailey’s dark eyes held a cold light, “I don’t want to wait like this anymore, and I want to lure John out.”
Seeing that she was so frank, Karl did not get angry with her, but said lightly, “Even if he shows up, what can you do? Fight with him to the death and lose your life?”
“I…” Hearing Karl said this, Hailey could not say anything for a while.
Karl raised his eyes, which were blue and cold, “I thought you had become more mature after experiencing many things in the past few years, but I didn’t expect you to still be so impatient.”
Hailey’s heart suddenly went cold.
She was not afraid of Karl’s scolding her, but she was afraid of seeing Karl’s disappointment in her.
Even if it was a little bit.
“I have told you many times to be a little calm. The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, so what we need to do is to hide our light and stay calm, regardless of what he does.”
Karl’s voice became stern, “But what have you done? In order to catch Roger, you set up a trap yourself and caused a car accident. And now you’re trying to put yourself in danger when you haven’t even healed from your head injury?”
As he stared at Hailey, his usual indifferent and calm face was now as sharp as a knife, very cold.
“I let you come to Y to ensure your safety not to let you go looking for death.”
Just after he finished, Hailey felt both her heart and body tremble hard.
She looked up at Karl, who was as cold as a glacier and was terrified.
Karl finished scolding and calmed down.
He straightened the self-criticism and folded them up, saying slightly, “Since you can’t control your impulsive nature, I’ll do it for you. From today onwards, you stay at Magic Castle and don’t go out.”
“Huh?”
Hailey looked up suddenly, thinking, “Really? I’m under house arrest here?”
“No, Karl, I know I’m wrong, okay?”
Hailey followed him and pleaded, “I can control myself, and I have good self-control. I’ll do whatever you want, so don’t lock me up
Karl unceremoniously dropped a sentence, “It’s not up to you.”
Could this be discussed, Karl?
Hailey wanted to bang her head against the wall at the thought of being locked up in the castle and not being able to go out.
She loved freedom by nature and couldn’t bear to be locked up like that. She immediately created a group and added all her brothers except Karl to it, even Ryan and Nicholas.
“Brothers, Karl wants to lock me up. Help me!!!”
Jared, “What’s wrong with you?”
Randal, “Why? What did you do to mess with Karl?”
Kyle, “What have you gotten yourself into?”
Brook, “You’ve only been there a few days. My little ancestor, you’ve got an affected style.”
Ryan, “?”
Nicholas,
Hailey held the phone and briefly told the story in a continuous stream.
The group was silent for half a minute.
And then–
Hailey, “Why aren’t any of you talking?”
No one answered her.
She clicked on the button in the upper right corner, checked the group members, and found that she was the only one left…
They all withdrew from the group!
Immediately after that, in another group, messages popped up one by one.
Brook, “I’m with Karl! Hailey needs to be taught a lesson if she doesn’t behave, or she’ll be really lawless!”
Kyle, “Hailey, quit it and don’t make Karl angry or we can’t help you.”
Randal, “Hailey, behave yourself, and Karl is the one who loves you the most.”
Jared, “That’s right to lock her up. She deserves it! Karl, teach this disobedient girl a good lesson for us, and don’t show any mercy.”
Ryan, “I agree.”
Nicholas, “+1.”
Hailey, “…”
They all were traitors!!!
