TimeNovel---- Chapter 808 Hailey raised her hand and slapped Ewan across the face. His head turned from the force of it,
the sharp slap leaving a flush blooming across his handsfeatures. Her fists clenched at her sides, shaking
with rage. "Ewan, | used to think you were just superficial, flirtatious, a jerk-but this? This showswho you
really are. You'll do anything to get your way. You're vile and ruthless! Do you really think I'd ever marry someone
like you?" Ewan slowly turned back to face her. He didn't look angry at all. In fact, he smiled.
"Hailey, whether you marryor not isn't up to you anymore. It's up to me!"" "Ewan, what the hell do you want
from me?" "Cedrick Morrison from the multinational is already in Kinthorne, and he's also a friend of mine. If you
refuse to marry me, I'll talk to him personally and make him end the deal. Once the partnership falls apart, your
company's cash flow will collapse. "Lambert Group will go bankrupt, and your family's century- old legacy will fall
apart in your hands!" Hailey trembled with anger. She hadn't seen this coming.
Not only had Ewan planned everything -he was actually Cedrick's friend? "Ewan, our family can't afford to lose
this partnership with ---- Mr. Morrison. Do you really have to push this far?" Ewan reached out and gently cupped
her face. "Hailey, whether this ends badly or not-that's all on you. It might look like I'm the one in control, but the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttruth is, the choice has always been in your hands." As Ewan spoke, his thumb slowly slid across Hailey's lips. "
Hailey, do you have any idea how much I love you? I've been thinking about you for three years.
I might've been blinded by Melody before, but that's over. I've changed, so could you please give mea chance?
Let's get married." Hailey asked, "And if | say no?" "You don't get to say no." He started by gently tracing her lips
with his thumb. They were soft, warm, and carried a faint sweetness that made his pulse quicken. The more he
touched her, the harder it becto stop. His pressure deepened, no longer tender but possessive. Lust was
already burning in his eyes. Suddenly, he shoved her. Hailey fell back onto the bed behind her, landing hard on
the mattress.
Ewan leaned over her and said, "Hailey, just be mine tonight. Twant you so badly." He lowered his head and
aimed for her lips. However, she turned away, refusing him. ---- He tried again, angling for the other side. She
dodged again. She turned her head again, evading him each time. Ewan fumed. He grabbed Hailey's face and
pinched her cheeks. "Hailey, why the hell are you avoiding me? Are you still not over Declan?" Even though
Declan had been gone for three years, his shadow still lingered between them. Hailey looked at him and replied,
"Yes, | still think about him. So what?
He's way better than you!" Her words hit him like a punch to the gut, stoking a fire he could barely contain. With
reddened eyes, he said, "Better than me? Let's find out -see who really comes out on top in bed." Then, he
lowered his mouth toward her neck, ready to kiss her. However, Hailey pushed him away with force. "No need to
test it! His skills are better than yours, even in bed!" He yanked at the collar of his shirt, popping a button loose,
and let out a cold laugh. "You never even slept with me.
