The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 842

Her assistant nodded. "We've already checked, but there's no one at his home."

Hailey had already analyzed the situation—the worker definitely wasn't in Ewan's hands. Ewan was likely sending people to search for him, which meant the worker must be hiding somewhere. But where could he be?

The entire Capitol had already been searched halfway through, but there was still no sign of him.

At that moment, Hailey suddenly thought of something. "I have an idea!" she exclaimed.

"Ms. Young, what is it?" her assistant asked.

Hailey's eyes lit up with excitement. "Come with me to a certain place. I suspect the worker is hiding there."

"Got it, Ms. Young. Let's hurry," her assistant urged.

Hailey had been sitting and resting for a while, so when she suddenly stood up, she twisted her ankle and lost her balance. She tumbled toward the ground.

Hailey cried out, bracing herself for the impending impact with the floor.

But to her surprise, the expected pain never came. Instead, a strong arm suddenly wrapped around her, holding her gently by the waist and pulling her into a warm, secure embrace.

Hailey looked up and saw Jonah's masked face.

Just as Jonah had stepped out of the car, he saw Hailey about to fall. He quickly moved to catch her in time.

Hailey hadn't expected him to show up. Her mind went blank for a moment before she quickly stood up. "Mr. Pilsner, what are you doing here?"

Jonah looked at her and asked, "Did you come to the company to find me today?"

Hailey forced a small smile. "Yes."

"Did you need something?"

Hailey looked away. "She didn't say much. She just told me not to bother you anymore. She's your girlfriend now, and I shouldn't be interfering. I don't want Ms. Lilton to misunderstand…"

Jonah yanked her closer, cutting her off with a teasing smile. "Do you want to know what kind of relationship I have with Joanne?"

Hailey froze. "What do you mean?"

"If you want to know what kind of relationship I have with Joanne, you can ask me directly. I'll tell you. Why listen to others?" he asked with a raised brow.

What difference did it make if he said it or Joanne did?

Hailey struggled, trying to pull away. "Mr. Pilsner, please let go. I don't want others to misunderstand—"

Before she could finish, Jonah cut her off. "Hailey, listen carefully. I have nothing to do with Joanne. She's not my girlfriend!"
