Chapter 572
“Mr. Ewan, you must be joking. Following our boss is a promising path. Declan has no interest in leaving,” the men said.
Ewan had already heard everything he wanted. He waved his hand dismissively. “Alright. You guys go on. We’ll entertain ourselves.”
“Understood. If you need anything, just say the word.”
“Got it.”
Those men left.
Ewan turned to Hailey. “Do you know who owns this casino? I heard the boss is
involved in drug trafficking. And yet, Declan is working under him now.”
Hailey’s eyes widened in shock. The owner was a drug lord?
Did Declan know?
Hailey knew that Declan was highly capable. He had countless ways to make money, so why had he chosen this path?
Ewan chuckled. “See? Declan is already mixed up in all of this. He’s on a completely different path from you. You should cut ties with him as soon as possible. There’s no future for you two.”
Hailey clenched her fists. “Ewan, if you have so much free time, why don’t you go find your girlfriend, Melody? My relationship with Declan is none of your business!”
“Hailey, don’t be so stubborn. I’m just looking out for you.”
“Looking out for me?” Hailey suddenly laughed. “Ewan, I still remember exactly how much you hated me back then-how you cheated on me with Melody. Why the sudden change of heart now?”
Ewan froze. “I…”
Hailey’s bright, sharp eyes narrowed suspiciously, focusing her gaze on him. “Ewan, don’t tell me… you’ve developed feelings for me.”
Those words struck a nerve in Ewan, making him tense up. He denied it immediately. “Hailey, are you delusional? How could I ever like you?”
“Good. That’s exactly how it should be. Ewan, you better not fall for me. Otherwise, I’d lose all respect for you!”
With that, she turned on her heel and walked away-straight toward Declan. “Hailey!”
Ewan stood frozen in place, watching her disappear from his sight. He clenched his fists tightly.
Hailey searched for Declan, but the

But she had to find him. There were so many things she needed to ask, so many things she wanted to say.
Just as she turned a corner in the hallway, she finally spotted him standing not far from her.
Hailey wanted to approach him, but suddenly, a young woman appeared.

She ran up to Declan excitedly and called out, “Declan!”
Hailey stopped in her tracks. She had no idea that another woman had entered Declan’s life.
The young woman beamed at Declan. “Declan, let’s go out and have some fun today.”
Declan looked at her, his face partly shadowed by the dim lighting, making his expression unreadable.
“I have work.”

Hailey was stunned as realization dawned on her.
So, this young woman was the boss’ daughter. Her name was Stella Xanders.
Declan replied firmly, “Go by yourself. I have things to do.”
He then turned to leave.
However, Stella quickly grabbed onto his arm. “Come on, Declan. Just keep me company for a while.”
Declan suddenly halted. He had just spotted Hailey standing there, looking at him.
