Chapter 980

Jonah froze, clearly caught off guard. “What did you just say? Since when did I buy Kaia a diamond bracelet?”
“Isn’t that how it went, Mr. Pilsner? That bracelet must have cost a fortune. I never thought you’d be that generous,” Hailey retorted.
Jonah blinked in surprise. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Who told you I bought her a bracelet?”
Hailey looked at him. Was he serious? Had he really not given Kaia the bracelet? Something didn’t add up.
“Either you bought it or you didn’t,” she said. “Why lie about it?”
“If I had, I’d admit it. But I didn’t. Listen carefully, I have never given Kaia a bracelet.”
Hailey froze, her eyes locked on his, searching his face for even a hint of deception.
But Jonah remained composed, his gaze steady and sincere.
What was going on?
“You don’t seem to believe me. Did Kaia plant this idea in your mind? I can call her right now and ask.”
With that, Jonah pulled out his phone and dialed Kaia’s number. “Ms. Ellington, come to the villa right now.”
He wasn’t joking.
“Actually, you don’t have to call her-”
Before Hailey could finish, Jonah tightened his arm around her waist, a mischievous smile curling on his lips. “You don’t like me buying diamond bracelets
for other women, right? Then I’ve got to find out what’s really going on.”
“Who said I mind? Mr. Pilsner, you’re rich. You can buy diamond bracelets for anyone you want.”
“So you don’t mind, huh? Then anyone who does is just a little bitch!” Jonah mocked.
Did he really just call her that?
Hailey shot him a fierce glare. Jonah was the little bitch, not her.
Meanwhile, Kaia rushed over as fast as she could. She had left the ba intending to go straight home. After the humiliating scene she’d catised tonight all she wanted was to disappear content
But on her way, Jonah’s call came through, summoning her to the villa.
A surge of adrenaline coursed through Kaia. It was late, yet Jonah had called for her. What could it possibly mean?
Her heart fluttered with excitement, and her thoughts spun through endless possibilities for the night ahead.
Upon reaching the entrance, she rang the bell, and the maid swiftly opened the door.
“Mr. Pilsner called me over,” Kaia said as she stepped inside. “Where can I find him?”
“He’s upstairs in his room. You can head up.”
“Thanks. I’ll go find him.”
With that, Kaia climbed the stairs and stopped outside the door. Ske took a moment to touch up her maketip and smooth her clothes, determined to look her absolute best for Jonah.
She knocked gently. “Mr. Pilsner, it’s Kaia.”
“Come in,” Jonah called from inside.
Kaia turned the knob and pushed the door open. “Mr. Pilsner—”
Her voice faltered as she took in the е scene before her. Jonah held Hailey close the two looked in a tender
embrace.
Kaia stood frozen in the doorway.
Her hopes crumbled instantly. Why was Jonah holding Hailey like that?
Should she just turn and walk away?
Hailey reached up and gently pushed Jonah. “Mr. Pilsner, Ms. Ellington is here. Please let me go.”
