The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 802

Ewan answered the call immediately. "You found him?"

"Apologies, Mr. Ewan. We couldn't track down the driver."

Ewan was stunned. "What? Why not? He's just a damn taxi driver, and you can't even handle that? What the hell do I keep you people around for?"

His subordinate hesitated, clearly afraid. "Mr. Ewan, we tried everything, but… the taxi company has no record of him. It's like he doesn't exist…"

With all the power and reach Ewan had, they still couldn't find a lowly cab driver?

"Useless!" Ewan snapped before ending the call.

He couldn't stop thinking about Hailey's delicate profile and the way she had moved on the dance floor that night.

She was graceful, almost hypnotic, and his whole body stirred with a hunger he could barely contain.

Ewan pulled out his phone again and made another call.

The call connected immediately.

Sally greeted, "Hello, Ewan."

"Mom, invite the Lamberts to dinner tomorrow. Since our family and the Lamberts already have a marriage agreement in place, it's time for both of our families to talk about my engagement to Hailey."

"Ewan, I heard the Lamberts aren't planning to marry Hailey off to you."

"I want her! I'm marrying her, no one else!"

Ewan was the only heir of the Shaw family, and Sally adored him, so she coaxed, "I'll reach out to the Lamberts, okay? Our family and theirs have been close for years, so I'm sure they'll talk about it tomorrow."

Ewan finally calmed down a little and ended the call.

Just then, a tall woman in heels walked over. She was the stripper who had danced her way onto Ewan's lap earlier that night.

Her face was bruised now. She had fought with Melody earlier, and neither of them had won. Both ended up hurt.

By the time their fight ended, Ewan was gone—he had taken off after Hailey.

She hadn't expected to bump into him again so soon.

Her eyes lit up as she rushed forward. "Mr. Ewan."

Aileen shook her head. "I'm fine."

Hailey turned to the man in the driver's seat. "Thank you for tonight. I'll pay you right away."

She reached for her wallet, then paused. She didn't bring her bag with her.

The man glanced at her. "Don't tell me you don't have money for the fare. I drove you all over Kinthorne tonight."

"I do have money. After all, I live here. I just didn't bring my wallet. How about this? I'll transfer you the money via Venmo."

The man thought for a second, then pulled out his phone. He gave her his WhatsApp contact and sent over his bank details. "Scan my QR code to add me."

Hailey scanned his QR code and added him as a contact.

"Don't forget to send me the money. I'll get going first."

Before he could drive away, Aileen rushed over.

She called out, "Declan!"
