Hailey shivered. She trusted Jonah completely—otherwise, she never would have brought Rebecca home.
However, seeing Rebecca in such a sorry state still caught her off guard. It was clear that Jonah was genuinely furious this time.
Hailey felt no sympathy for Rebecca. This was the price every home-wrecking mistress had to pay.
Still, she knew she had to keep up appearances. She needed to uncover exactly who Rebecca was and what she was plotting.
Hailey feigned surprise and gasped. She stepped forward quickly, asking, "Rebecca, what happened to you?"
Rebecca touched the blood on her face, and she felt her head spin from the pain. There was no room left in her mind for romance or dreamy illusions.
"Hailey… Mr. Pilsner hit me."
Hailey glanced at Jonah. "Why did you lay a hand on Rebecca?"
Jonah's expression darkened. "What do you think?"
He threw the question back to her.
Hailey fought back a laugh. "Hold on… This is the master bedroom. Rebecca, what are you doing in my room? Ms. Pena!"
Dolores stepped forward. "Yes, Mrs. Pilsner?"
"Ms. Pena, didn't you assign a room for Rebecca?"
"I did, Mrs. Pilsner. It's just a few doors down. I have no idea how Ms. Conway ended up in the master bedroom!"
Hailey turned to Rebecca. "Why didn't you stay in your own room?"
Rebecca's voice trembled with guilt. "Hailey, I… I was looking for you. I didn't realize Mr. Pilsner was in the shower."
"But if you already knew he was inside, what exactly were you trying to do by going in?" Hailey questioned.
"I… I thought it was you," Rebecca stammered. "When Mr. Pilsner saw me, he hit me with a bottle."
Dolores didn't have a good opinion of Rebecca. "Ms. Conway, with all due respect, did you forget it's the middle of the night?
"As a guest, entering the master bedroom was already inappropriate, but walking straight into the bathroom crosses a line. That kind of behavior only invites misunderstandings. People are bound to question your intentions."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
How does anyone in their senses meet up with someone who almost hurt them and their unborn child. This author is dumb and needs to wrap this crap up. All of a sudden Hailey and kala are playing Celine and Carly's role as another character. Nonsense....
Is this still story for Celine and Adam?...
And yet again, they get away with evil!!!...
That’s gruesome to have 2 months pregnancy forcibly terminated by other characters . What kind of hospital doctors is that ?...
