Chapter 948

Ewan and Joanne were still watching her like hawks; she couldn’t afford to tip them off. If they wanted to play dirty, she would turn the game around.
Hailey nodded. “Fine. I’ll keep the baby.”
Jonah was overjoyed the child was still inside her, and she had agreed to keep
it.
If she genuinely didn’t want the baby, there were countless ways she could harm
it. Now that she had agreed, that was all he needed to hear.
“What do you want in return?” Jonah asked.
Hailey said coldly, “Let’s break up. Don’t bother me again.”
Jonah froze.
Hailey shoved him away and said, “You’re so annoying, Jonah. Stop clinging to me. We’re done.”
The bloodshot veins in Jonah’s eyes deepened. He pursed his lips, clenching his fist.
After a few tense seconds, he slowly loosened them.
“Fine. I agree to the breakup,” he said.
A sharp ache tugged at Hailey’s heartstrings.
Jonah said, “I’ll agree to your request, but if anything happens to my child, I swear
I won’t let you off. The entire Lambert Group will go down with you, so don’t ever try to provoke me.”
It was a blatant threat.
Hailey nodded. “Don’t worry. The baby will be fine.”
“I’m going to check on the baby every day.”
Hailey was stunned. “The baby hasn’t even been born. How are you going to check?”
He placed a hand on her flat belly and replied, “I’ll check like this every day to ensure the baby is safe.”
His palm was warm, and that warmth slowly spread through her abdomen. Hailey nodded as she said, “Okay.”
Jonah said, “You’ll stay at my villa during your pregnancy.”
What?
“I—” Hailey wanted to refuse, but Jonah cut her off.
“Don’t worry. I won’t be around. I’ll stay at the office most of the time.”
She had no choice but to agree. “Alright.”
Jonah slowly withdrew his hand. “You should get some rest. I’ll get going first.” Then, he left.
He went to the lawn outside the villa and saw Joanne waiting for him. She had rushed over without a moment’s delay.
Hailey stood by the floor-to-ceiling
window upstairs, watching.

“Jonah, I heard Ms. Hailey went to the hospital today. Is it true she’s pregnant? Joanne asked, trying to dig for information.
Jonah walked toward his luxury car, keys in hand. He didn’t look at her or say a word.
Joanne was desperate to know

what had happened between Jonah and Hailey. “Jonah, why why
id Ms
Hailey go to the hospital? Was she trying to get rid of the baby?”
She quickly added, “How could she be so cruel? That’s a child… why would she do such a thing?”
Jonah stood tall and leaned against the car. “Stop mentioning her. We’ve already broken up.”
What?
Joanne could barely contain her excitement. At that moment, she smirked.
It looked like her scheme to drive them apart had worked. Jonah and Hailey had broken up because of the child.
It was just as she wanted!
