The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 813

Hailey shot Ewan a cold, defiant look—he was clearly determined to have her thrown out.

Without hesitation, she reached out and grabbed Jonah's sleeve. "Mr. Pilsner, please help me," she whispered.

Jonah's eyes flickered down to Hailey's delicate hand. Her slender, fair fingers gently clutched the sleeve of his expensive black suit—an elegant contrast of black and white.

Cedrick's gaze shifted to Jonah. "Jonah, who is this?"

Since Hailey stood behind him, Cedrick directed his question to him.

Ewan had also noticed that Hailey had come in with Jonah.

"Mr. Pilsner, do you know Hailey? What exactly is your relationship with her?" Ewan asked.

Jonah met Ewan's gaze. "Mr. Shaw, why do you seem so bothered by Hailey's presence?"

"Mr. Pilsner, you may not know this, but Hailey is my fiancée."

Ewan's words hung heavily in the air.

Jonah turned to Hailey. "Is that true?"

Hailey shook her head without hesitation. "Mr. Pilsner, my relationship with Ewan is complicated, but one thing is clear—I will never marry him."

Jonah's expression remained hidden behind his mask, making it impossible to gauge his reaction.

Without warning, he reached out and draped his arm around Hailey's shoulders.

Hailey froze in place.

Ewan's expression darkened immediately.

Jonah looked at Cedrick and said, "Mr. Morrison, this is my girlfriend, Hailey. I brought her here to enjoy the evening."

Cedrick's face lit up with excitement. "Jonah, you've got a girlfriend?"

When did this happen? He had no idea.

For the past three years, Hailey's love life had been nonexistent. Despite having countless suitors, she had turned them all down and hadn't dated anyone.

Ewan knew this all too well, so he was completely baffled—when had Hailey become Jonah's girlfriend? How had they even met?

"Mr. Pilsner, is Hailey really your girlfriend?" Ewan asked.

Jonah gave a nod. "Yes, she is."

Ewan's frustration reached its peak. "But Hailey is my fiancée—"

Before he could finish, Hailey sharply cut him off. "Ewan, I am not your fiancée. Stop making things up. Right now, I'm Jonah's girlfriend."

"I don't believe this! I see what's happening—Hailey, you're just pretending to be Mr. Pilsner's girlfriend, aren't you?" Ewan accused.
