Chapter 958

Kaia couldn’t accept it and rushed out after Hailey.
Hailey was walking through the corridor when she heard footsteps quickly closing in behind her.
“Ms. Hailey,” Kaia called out.
Hailey stopped and turned to face her. “Ms. Ellington, I believe I made myself
perfectly clear. Why are you still following me? Do you have nothing better to do?”
Kaia couldn’t stand Hailey’s cold tone. “Ms. Hailey, you-”
Out of the corner of her eye, Kaia suddenly noticed a tall, striking figure approaching.
It was Jonah.
Kaia immediately put on a wounded, innocent look. “Ms. Hailey, I didn’t seduce
Mr. Pilsner. Why would you call me a whore?”
Hailey fell silent. She had no idea what Kaia was talking about.
Before she could say a word, Kaia grabbed her hand. “Ms. Hailey, please, let me explain… -ah!”
In one swift motion, Kaia yanked Hailey’s hand across her own face.
She stumbled backward, nearly falling.
Then, a hand shot out and caught her just in time, steadying her by the arm.
Kaia looked up. “Mr. Pilsner.”
Hailey saw Jonah as well. In fact, the moment Kaia started acting out of character,
she had already guessed he was there.
Kaia was putting on a whole act for Jonah. It was ridiculous.
Kaia looked at Jonah with teary eyes
and said,

“Mr. Pilsner, please donte
upset with Ms. Hailey. She didn’t
mean to hit me.”

Jonah glanced up at Hailey and asked, “Why did you hit her?”
He was seriously asking her that.
Hailey was left speechless by his reaction.
She looked at Kaia. “Are you saying I hit you?”
Kaia immediately shook her head,, flustered. “No Mr. Pilsner. Ms. Hailey didn’t hit me. You’ve got it all wrong… I must’ve done something

Hailey let out a quiet laugh before
walking toward Jonah and Kaia, net
Once she was right in front of them, she slapped Kaia hard across her face.
Kaia’s head snapped to the side. She was stunned at that moment.
She clutched her cheek, looking at Hailey in disbelief. “Did you just slap me?”
Hailey let out a cold laugh. “See that? That’s what it means to get slapped!” Kaia was furious, but with Jonah standing right there, she had to endure it.
All she could do was let her eyes well with tears and turn to him with a pitiful look.
“Mr. Pilsner, look at Ms. Hailey. What did I even do to deserve this? Why is she so angry with me
Hailey stared at her with pure disdain. “Ms. Ellington, do you want me to slap you again?”
As she spoke, she raised her hand again, aiming for Kaia’s cheek.
However, before she could slap her across the face, a firm hand shot out and caught Hailey’s slender wrist.
