---- 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 ---- - 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. |

Hailey was caught completely off guard-she hadn't expected Jonah to introduce her like this. Upon noticing her
surprise, Jonah leaned in close and whispered in her ear, "This is the only way to keep you from getting thrown
out,
Just play along." Hailey quickly whispered back, "Of course, I'm happy to play along-this works in my favor." With
the title of Jonah's girlfriend, it would be much easier for her to speak up in front of Cedrick later. Without missing
a beat, Hailey slipped her arm through Jonah's and gave a bright smile. "Mr. Morrison, it's a pleasure to meet
you. I'm Mr. Pilsner's... Imean, Jonah's girlfriend. It's an honor to finally meet you." ---- Cedrick let out a hearty
laugh. "Ms. Hailey, the pleasure is mine!" He turned to the security guards. "You can go. Ms.
Hailey is my esteemed guest." "Understood." The two guards stepped back immediately. Meanwhile, Ewan was
utterly stunned. He could hardly believe his eyes-how was Hailey Jonah's 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 becJonah's girlfriend ? How had they even met? "Mr. Pilsner, is Hailey really your
girlfriend ?" Ewan asked. Jonah gav
