The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 807

Ewan said with a smile, "Alright, Hailey. I'll be waiting—Ritz Hotel, presidential suite 608. Don't end up in the wrong room."

Before he even finished, Hailey had already hung up. The dial tone beeped twice, sharp and final.

Ewan was already in suite 608 at Ritz Hotel. He had been there for a while, waiting.

He was sure that Hailey would come to see him.

As the only daughter of the Lambert family, Hailey had grown up surrounded by love and luxury.

Whatever she wanted, her parents would make sure she had it. She had been raised in such a sheltered world that she had also turned out to be incredibly devoted to her parents.

There was no way she would ever turn her back on her parents or Lambert Group.

No one in this world got to live only for themselves—everyone had their own responsibilities.

Ewan uncorked a bottle of red wine and poured a small amount into a wine glass.

He didn't drink it right away. Instead, he swirled the wine slowly, watching it ripple along the glass like liquid velvet.

Soon, the doorbell rang. Someone was here.

Of course, it was Hailey.

Ewan chuckled. She had arrived faster than he expected.

He lifted the glass and drained it in one go, then walked over to the door.

When he opened it, he saw Hailey standing outside. Her eyes, clear and bright, burned with fury.

Ewan smiled. "You got here fast, Hailey. Faster than I thought you would."

Ewan continued, "I know Lambert Group is in talks with a multinational company. The deal would lock up all your liquid assets, so it's crucial that everything goes smoothly. There's no room for mistakes. That's exactly why I couldn't let it go.

"So I found someone on-site, paid him well, and had him stage a fall. He was willing to break his own leg for the price. Then I pushed him to make a scene, drag down Lambert Group's reputation, and spook the multinational into backing out. Even your dad's injury today—that was my doing too.“

He laid it all out without hesitation. It was exactly what Hailey had suspected all along.

She wasn't surprised at all. However, she was still furious. "Ewan, our families have been close for generations. My father practically helped raise you. How could you go after us like this? Doesn't your conscience bother you at all?"

Ewan stepped in front of her and said, "Hailey, I never wanted to hurt Mr. Lambert or your family. But you left me no choice."

"What the hell did I do?"

"For three years, you ignored me. Treated me like I didn't exist. You knew how I felt. You knew I wanted to marry you, but no matter what I did, you kept pushing me away. So I had to find a way to make you change your mind!"
