Chapter 834
---- Chapter 834. Just then, there was a knock at the door. Jonah said, "Cin. " The door to his office opened.
Jeremy Leclair, Jonah's assistant , walked in. "Mr. Pilsner, we contacted the world's top plastic surgeon, but he
said your face likely can't be restored. "The burn area is too extensive, and it's been three years. He's not
confident enough to take the case, so he declined." Itwas the sstory again. Jonah wasn't surprised. He had
already consulted many doctors, and every tthey saw his ruined face, they shook their heads. He would
never go back to how he looked before.
Hailey used to like him so much. Now, looking at his face, she probably didn't anymore. That had to be why she
didn't want to be with him. He could feel her resistance and refusal on the bed today. He acted on impulse. "You
can go," he told Jeremy. "Yes, Mr. Pilsner." Jeremy then left. ---- Jonah stood alone in his office, staring at the chat
window with Hailey. She still hadn't replied. He curled his lips into a bitter smile, then still typed a message to
her. "Goodnight." Hailey rested for two days.

then, Miranda rushed in. "Hailey, something happened!" Hailey was startled. "Mom, what happened?" "Hailey,
that worker who was causing trouble had already started to waver. He was about to take the money and sign the
settlement . Once the settlement's signed, it's over. But just now, your dad called. He said the worker suddenly
vanished. No one can find him." What? Hailey felt her heart sink. "What do you mean vanished ?
If something happens to that worker, this whole thing will explode!" "Your dad said the same. That worker is
crucial. But now, he's just gone!" This couldn't be a coincidence. Someone clearly got to the worker. Hailey
thought of one person. There was no other person it ---- could be. She stepped aside, took out her phone, and
dialed a number. The call connected quickly. A familiar voice cthrough. " Hey, Hailey. What a surprise. You're
calling me?" Tt was Ewan. Hailey gripped the phone. "Ewan, did you have someone take that worker?
What did you do to him?" "Hailey, what are you talking about? | don't get it. The worker's gone? Oh no. What if...
what if he ends up dead? Then, Lambert Group won't be able to clear its name, no matter what they do. That'd
really be the end. Haha!" As she listened to Ewan's arrogant laughter, Hailey was fuming. "Ewan, you're
disgusting." "Hailey, | heard the Lamberts are planning to marry into the Larden family? You won't marry me, but
you're willing to marry Lester? Why? Lettell you, Hailey. If | can't have you, no one else will. I'll destroy him
with my own hands!" Ewan said manically.
It was clear to her now that Ewan was the one behind it. The worker wouldn't survive in his hands. "Ewan, you're
insane!" "Haha! Hailey. This is your last chance. If you give in, there's still a way out!" Then, he hung up. --—
Hailey felt her hands and feet turn cold. She hadn't expected Ewan to be this far gone. What now? If that worker
died in Ewan's hands, everything would be over. She had to find that worker. Hailey looked at Miranda. "Mom,
step up the search for that worker. We can't let anything happen to him." "Hailey, we've searched everywhere .
