Chapter 1053

Rebecca laughed. “Hailey, it seems you haven’t read the news yet. I suggest you take a look.”
Hailey’s brow furrowed. “Rebecca, haven’t your past mistakes taught you anything? People who spread nothing but harm are bound to face consequences.”
Rebecca remained unshaken. “Consequences? I don’t believe in them. All I know is I refuse to lose. I’ll make sure you never find peace.”
The call ended abruptly with two sharp beeps. Rebecca had already hung up.
With her phone in hand, Hailey wasted no time checking the news.
She was eager to uncover what schemes Rebecca had cooked up this time.
Much to her surprise, she didn’t have to look far. Jonah’s name dominated the headlines, entangled in the rumors of a scandalous love affair.
As Hailey opened the article, Rebecca’s image appeared. Suddenly, everything about last night clicked into place.
Jonah and Rebecca had been at the same club. Through tears, Rebecca had accused Jonah of attempted assault—a story that was now splashed across every news outlet.
Hailey’s frown deepened, shocked by the storm that had erupted.
Without a second thought, she dialed Jonah’s number.
Jonah, still in his office, quickly picked up the phone. “Hello, honey, you’re awake.”
When she heard his voice, Hailey felt a wave of relief. “Yes, I’m up, Mr. Pilsner. I’m having breakfast. Have you eaten yet?”
Since Jonah hadn’t brought up the scandal, she chose not to mention it.
“I just ate,” Jonah replied.
“Are you working now?” Hailey asked.
“Yes,” he said. “I’ve got an important meeting soon, so I won’t be able to stay on the phone.”
Hailey smiled. “That’s fine. Focus on your meeting.”
They ended the call shortly after. Hailey put her phone down and continued eating.
Now that she was pregnant, she made a point to eat nutritious breakfasts.
Once she finished, she rose to her

“I’m afraid not, Ms. Pena,” Hailey answered.
Dolores was taken aback. “Then where are you headed?”
“I’m going… to see Mr. Pilsner.”
“Let me come with you,” Dolores offered.
Hailey nodded. “Alright, let’s go.”
About half an hour later, they arrived at Pilsner Group.
“Remember to walk slowly, Mrs. Pilsner,” Dolores reminded her.
With that, the two of them headed inside. The moment the receptionist saw Hailey, she recognized her immediately Mrs. Pilsner, whất brings you here today?”
“I’ve come to see Mr. Pilsner,” Hailey said.
The receptionist appeared slightly flustered. After all, Jonah was currently embroiledhin a scandal. Without hesitation, she picked up the phone.
“Shall I call Mr. Pilsner for you? I’m sure he’ll be pleased to hear you’ve arrived.”
“It’s fine,” Hailey said firmly. “I’ll go up and see him myself.”
The receptionist quickly blocked her path, worry etched across her face. “Mrs. Pilsner-”
“Please don’t worry,” Hailey interrupted. “I just want to see Mr. Pilsner. Everything will be fine.”
Reluctantly, the receptionist stepped aside.
Dolores pressed the elevator button. “After you, Mrs. Pilsner.”
Together, they stepped inside and made their way to the CEO’s office.
