Chapter 30

Author: Glazed Snow
The phone clicked off with two beeps, and Stanley was left staring at the screen in stunned silence.

That damned woman actually hung up on him!

At that moment, the butler Freddy walked over. Stanley gave him an order, "Freddy, call Wendy and tell her that Grandma isn't feeling well. We need her to come back immediately!"

Freddy was momentarily taken aback. "But, sir, your grandmother has already taken the medicine Mrs. Hawk prepared and is resting. She's feeling fine."

Stanley's temper flared, his voice deep and dangerous. "Tell a lie! Don't you get it?"

Freddy hesitated again, clearly uncomfortable. "Sir, isn't it a bit harsh to lie to Mrs. Hawk? Over these past three years, she has been taking care of both you and your grandmother. She's been very hard-working. Let her go out and relax tonight, it won't hurt."

Stanley's gaze was icy, his voice like a blade. "Freddy, are you going to make the call or not?"

Perhaps Stanley's glare was too intense, because Freddy immediately pull

    Chelsea quickly ended the call, saying the signal was bad, but Warren couldn't shake a growing sense of unease. It felt like Chelsea was hiding something from him.Could everything Halsey said really be true? And now that Halsey was with Chelsea, could she be in danger?Warren immediately tried calling Chelsea again, but this time, she didn't answer.A cold, mechanical voice came through the line. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later."Chelsea had turned off her phone.Warren didn't waste a second. He pulled up Halsey's number and hit call, but she didn't answer either.That same robotic voice repeated, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable. Please try again later."Halsey's phone was off, too.Why were both their phones off at the same time? Could something have happened to Halsey?If anything happened to her or the baby, Shaun wouldn't be able to handle it.Thinking back on what Shaun had just said, Warren broke out in a cold

    Shaun truly valued his bond with Warren, but he also loved Halsey and their child deeply. They were his bottom line.So, he sincerely asked Warren to stop judging Halsey so harshly and to never do anything that could hurt her or the baby. Otherwise, their friendship would be over.Warren gave a half-smile. "Got it. Just finish up those documents, and you'll be free to go home and be with Ms. Mallin and the baby."Shaun nodded. "Alright."He lowered his head and began reviewing the documents.Warren stepped out of the office, suddenly feeling uneasy. He wasn't sure how the conversation between Chelsea and Halsey was going.He took out his phone and dialed Chelsea's number.At that moment, Chelsea was still at the villa and hadn't left yet. When she saw Warren calling, she answered the call. "Hey."Holding the phone tightly, Warren asked, "How's the talk with Ms. Mallin going?""We're still talking," Chelsea replied."She's pregnant with Shaun's baby, so don't provoke her or

    Gilbert's expression darkened. He truly loved Halsey, but the way she was acting made him hate her just as much.If he couldn't have her, then he'd rather destroy her himself than let Shaun have her!"If you won't willingly come with me," he snarled at Halsey, "I'll make you! Guys, take her away!"With a wave of his hand, two bodyguards in black immediately stepped forward and grabbed Halsey, trying to drag her away."You're breaking the law!" Halsey shouted.But Gilbert simply sneered, "Don't worry. I'll make sure no one finds out. You'll leave this world quietly."Chelsea laughed and snapped at the men, "What are you waiting for? Take her away already!"The bodyguards dragged Halsey out.Chelsea turned to Gilbert. "If you can't have her, destroy her. Don't ever let Halsey control your life again.""I know!" Gilbert said coldly. "Just make sure Shaun doesn't suspect anything for now.""I will. Don't worry."After that, Gilbert left.Chelsea was overjoyed. She sat down on t

    Halsey quickly pulled out her phone. "I'm calling Shaun!"However, Gilbert immediately slapped the phone out of her hand, sending it hitting the ground with a loud crack."My phone!"Halsey tried to pick it up, but Chelsea's stiletto heel came down hard, grinding the phone into the floor."Give it up, Halsey!" Chelsea said with a cold smile. "You're not getting away tonight."Halsey narrowed her eyes. "What the hell do you two want from me?"Gilbert turned toward the door. "Guys!"A group of bodyguards in black rushed in. "Yes, Mr. Greenwood?"Gilbert faced Halsey again. "Shaun's gone, and my men have already surrounded the villa. So tonight, you'd better behave. Don't make things harder than they need to be."Halsey glared at him. "What are you trying to do?"Gilbert took out two plane tickets and held them up. "Come with me. Let's leave this place. We can start over somewhere new.""Start over?" Halsey gave a bitter laugh. "What do you mean, start over? We never even sta

    "Alright." With that, Shaun grabbed the car keys and left. After he was gone, Halsey stepped out of the study, planning to head back to her room.But just then, Chelsea's voice rang out. "Hello, Ms. Mallin."Halsey froze and turned her head, glancing downstairs. Two familiar faces came into view—Chelsea and Warren."How did you get in here?" Halsey asked.Warren replied, "I used my fingerprint to get in."In that moment, Halsey immediately understood Chelsea's game. She hadn't expected Chelsea to actually use Warren like this."Warren," she said sharply, "you called Shaun to get him out of the house, and then you brought Chelsea in? If he finds out, he's going to cut all ties with you!"Warren hesitated, but Chelsea quickly snapped at Halsey, "Stop trying to mess with his head! Warren and I are doing this for Shaun's good. We can't let him destroy himself because of you!"Halsey let out a cold laugh. "No. You working with Gilbert is what's going to ruin Shaun."Warren stif

    Inside the villa, Halsey had just finished a hot shower. She brewed a fresh cup of coffee and brought it to the study. Raising her hand, she knocked lightly on the door.Shaun's voice came through almost immediately. "Come in."She opened the door. Shaun was seated in his desk chair, going over documents.Halsey walked over and placed the coffee beside him. "Here's your coffee."Without looking up, Shaun stayed focused on his work. "Just leave it there."Halsey didn't want to disturb him, so she turned to leave.Before she could take a step, his hand suddenly caught her wrist. He pulled her straight onto his lap, wrapping his arms around her. "You made this yourself?"She gave him a playful punch with her small fist. "Weren't you concentrating on work? I thought you didn't even notice me."A smile played on Shaun's lips. "Well, you personally made me coffee—how could I not notice? I've stopped focusing on work the moment you walked in.""Hey, I didn't do anything! Don't blam
