Chapter 836
“T’Il head up myself. Oh, and Jonah’s been really busy lately. There’s no need to bother him with small things. There’s no need to mention things like just now, with that woman coming to see him,” Joanne said. The receptionist nodded quickly. “Got it, Ms. Lilton.” Joanne took a brand-new lipstick out of her bag. “This is one I just bought. I thought this shade would look good on you. It’s yours.” The receptionist’s eyes lit up. She quickly accepted the lipstick and smiled. “Thank you, Ms. Lilton. If you ever need anything, just say the word.” Joanne smiled.
Hailey returned to the Lambert residence. Miranda grabbed her arm. “Hailey, where did you just go?” “I went to see Jonah, Mom,” Hailey replied. “What did Mr. Pilsner say?” “T didn’t see him. He didn’t want to see me.” Miranda frowned, then said, “Hailey, if that’s how it is, you need to let him go. The Larden family called just now. Lester heard about what’s going on and asked if you need help.” —- At this moment, Lester extended an olive branch. Ifhe said that, it meant he had a way in. But if she accepted it, she would have to marry him. Hailey shook her head.
“Mom, I don’t need Lester’s help. Dad’s still out there looking, right? I’ll go help him!” Hailey ran out. Miranda watched her, her heart arching. “”This child… Why is she so stubborn?” Just then, the front door of the villa opened. Aileen came home. “Mom, I’m back!” + Miranda rushed forward and hugged her, delighted. “Aileen, you’re home! Are you hungry? Hailey’s made a full spread of all your favorites . Come eat.
It looks like you’ve lost weight with all that work at the research base.” James and Miranda were Aileen’s godparents , and they only had Hailey as a daughter, so they loved Aileen dearly. Aileen looked around. “Mom, where’s Hailey?” “Aileen, Hailey went out.” “Where’d she go?” Usually, whenever she came home, Hailey would be there waiting, taking care of her in every way. Miranda hesitated. “Aileen, there’s something I’m not sure I should tell you.” —- “Mom, I’m grown now. If it’s about me, you need to tell me. Miranda stopped hesitating
“Aileen, your brother is back!” Aileen froze-then lit up. “Really, Mom? My brother’s back?” Miranda nodded. “Yes, Aileen, he’s back. He’s the founder of CY Tech now, Jonah Pilsner. He’s the rising star in the business world. Aileen, now there’s one more person to love you.” Aileen’s eyes welled with tears. “My brother’s back… Hailey must be so happy. Did she go to see him?” Miranda hesitated . “Well… Aileen, Hailey and your brother are over.” Aileen was stunned. “Hailey and my brother were so in love. How could they be over?
Mom, I’m going to find him right now and get to the bottom of this!” With that, she turned and ran. Miranda called after her, “Aileen, slow down! I’ll have the driver take you! Don’t get lost!”
