TimeNovel---- Chapter 809 No man could tolerate that kind of provocation , least of all Ewan, who had always resented
Declan's presence between them. He let out a cold laugh. "Hailey, tonight I'm going to fuck you till you can't
walk!" He lunged forward, grabbing at her collar, and got ready to rip her clothes apart. However, Hailey was
faster. In one smooth motion, she whipped out the pepper spray she had tucked into her waistband and
unloaded it straight into his face. Ewan never expected her to be armed. The burning liquid hit his eyes, and he
let out a guttural scream. Hailey shoved him hard.
"What, you thought I'd show up unprepared? | bought this pepper spray just for you!" 'The last the tried to
lay a hand on her, she only escaped because the driver showed up. Without him, who knew what would have
happened? This time, she cprepared. Ewan staggered to his feet, his eyes red and tears streaming down
from them. He glared at her through the pain. "Hailey, I'm running out of patience. Are you really saying no to
marrying me? Think carefully. If you refuse, Lambert Group is going under!" ---- Hailey met his fury with icy calm.
"Ewan, if my parents knew 1 was sacrificing my own future just to keep the company afloat, they'd never forgive
themselves. They raisedbetter than that!" Ewan let out a bitter laugh. "Fine, Hailey. Just don't ccrawling
back when it all goes down! I'm going to see Mr. Morrison right now-let's see how long Lambert Group lasts
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwithout that deal!"" He stormed out, slamming the door behind him. Hailey stared after him, frowning. Did he
really think she would crumble this easily? She would never surrender to him. She would definitely find a way to
save Lambert Group!
Hailey pulled out her phone and dialed James' assistant, Aloysius Vanderbilt. The call connected almost
immediately. "Hello, Ms. Hailey," cAloysius ' respectful voice on the other end. "Aloysius , | need you to find
out where Mr. Morrison is right now. | want to meet him." Even though Ewan had gotten to Cedrick first and had
the upper hand as his friend, Hailey wasn't about to back down. She wouldn't let Cedrick walk away from the
deal with Lambert Group. ---- It didn't take long for Aloysius to get back to her. "Ms. Hailey, | found him. Mr.
Morrison is playing golf at a private club today." "That's perfect! Sendthe address now-I'm going there to
meet him." "Yes, Ms. Hailey." Moments later, the location cthrough . Hailey grabbed her things and left the
hotel, heading straight for the club. Half an hour later, Hailey arrived at the private club, fully prepared to talk to
Cedrick. Just as she was about to head in, the receptionist stopped her. "Excuse me, young lady. Do you have an
appointment?" Hailey paused. "Do | need one?" "Yes, this is a private, high-end club.
Only members and their guests are allowed in, by appointment only." Asinking feeling tugged at her chest. "I'm
here to see Mr. Morrison. Can you check with him? He might be willing to let mein." "Mr, Morrison is indeed here,
but he has a tee twith close friends today. He's not accepting visitors. If you have his number, you're
welcto give him a call." However, she didn't have Cedrick's number. There was no way ---- to reach him.
Still, she couldn't afford to walk away without meeting him. If Cedrick cut ties with Lambert Group, there would
be no turning things around.
