Halsey had hung up on purpose. As long as she didn't take the bait, Gilbert and Chelsea would only get more desperate. Sooner or later, they would start to panic and do something reckless. All she had to do now was wait.-At the moment, Chelsea was with Warren. As soon as he set his phone down, she asked eagerly, "Well? Did she agree to meet?"Warren shook his head. "No, she said she wasn't coming. Said she didn't have time."Chelsea clenched her fists. So Halsey refused to show up. That meant they would have to try something else."You have access to Shaun's villa, right?" She asked. "Your fingerprint is in the lock system."Warren looked at her. "Why are you asking about that?"Chelsea leaned in slightly. "Since Halsey won't come out, that leaves only one option. You need to sneak me into the villa so I can talk to her. Also, you'll have to call Shaun and find a way to get him out of the house. That's the only way I'll get to speak to Halsey alone."Warren frowned. "

"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

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

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

Halsey flinched. "Wake up, Gilbert! What you're doing is murder—it's against the law!"Gilbert sneered. "I did the same to Shaun three years ago. If I did it once, I can just as easily make you disappear without a trace."Halsey's long lashes trembled. "So it really was you who went after Shaun three years ago!"Gilbert gritted his teeth. "Yeah, but the guy just wouldn't die. He actually survived! And now, he's come back as some hotshot in the business world. I wish he'd just die already."Halsey's voice shook. "What exactly did you do to him three years ago?"Gilbert gave a cold, twisted laugh. "He was already badly injured, so I had someone drag him into a car. We took him to the edge of a cliff. I poured acid on his face, ruined it completely, and then I pushed the car off the cliff, with him still inside."Halsey had suspected it, but hearing the whole story out loud made her gasp."You're a monster! You actually threw acid on his face?"Gilbert laughed manically. "It was a
