Chapter <b>283 </b>


    Hailey was stunned, unable toprehend what <b>Ewan </b>said. It was his family that pressured him to approach her, praise her, and ask for her hand in


    marriage.


    However, in his eyes, she was just an ugly woman. Hailey paled when she realized those were his honest words.


    “Hailey, I don’t want to see Melody hurt ever again. The person who should die is you, Ugly Halley,” Ewan snapped and left.


    Hailey stumbled a few steps back. As tears welled in her eyes, she quickly covered her mouth and dashed out of the female dormitory.


    It was still raining outside, perfectly depicting Halley’s emotions. Hailey ran out of the university campus and got into a cab. “You’re just an ugly woman! The person who should die is you, Ugly Hailey!” Ewan’s heartless words echoed in Hailey’s mind.


    Fat teardrops rolled down Hailey’s cheeks as she sobbed.


    “Where to, miss?” the driver asked.


    “To the Lambert residence. On Schelf <b>Lane</b>…” Hailey choked. All she wanted to do at that moment was to go home. Hailey was too upset <b>to </b>realize the driver, who wore a cap, had raised his head and looked at her with a vicious smirk. When Celine returned to Yorhine University, she dialed Hailey’s number. Unfortunately, thetter did not pick up.


    “Why is Hailey not answering?” Celine wondered, sensing that something was off. Just then, she passed by the dance studio that was brightly lit. She immediately halted her steps when she spotted Ewan through the window. In the studio were Ewan and Melody, who looked scared out of her “Ewan, Hailey won’t send anyone to beat me up again, will she? I’m scared.”


    “Don’t worry, Melody. I’m here. I’ll protect you, assured Ewan


    Melody threw herself into his embrace, saying, “Thank you, Ewan.”


    Ewan was momentarily stunned, but he immediately smiled and returned the hug warmly-


    The sight of the two stunned Celine. She quickly pulled out her phone again and dialed Hailey’s number. s, there was still no answer.


    An ill premonition crept into Celine’s mind. She hurried to the female dormitory and called out, “Hailey? Hailey?”


    <b>gone </b>


    r wits.


    The dormitory was empty, and there were no signs of Halley. Celine began to wonder where her friend <b>had </b>Feeling even more uneasy, Celine rushed out to search for Hailey. Unfortunately, the rain was getting <b>heavier</b>. Celine turned on the location of her phone. Both she and Hailey had shared their locations with each other some time ago. As long as Hailey kept hers on, Celine would be able to <b>see </b>it.


    It did not take long for the location setting to be on. Thankfully, Hailey <b>had </b>hers <b>on</b><b>, </b><b>and </b>it showed <b>that </b>she was heading to a secluded area.


    It did not make sense to Celine why Hailey was going to such an area. The former hurriedly stretched her hand out to hail a cab.


    Just <b>then</b>, a honk sounded. Celine turned around and spotted a Rolls–Royce Phantom pulling up–it was Adarn.


    The car pulled up beside her, and the driver’s <b>seat </b>window rolled down to reveal Adam’s charming face. Noticing the anxiousness written all over Celine’s face, <b>he </b><b>asked </b>grimly, “Did something happen?”


    Celine returned his <b>gaze</b>, saying, “Hailey


    <b>missing</b>.”


    Adam’s expression changed <b>drastically </b>when he heard that.


    Celine exined, “I tracked her location on my phone. I think she’s in danger.”


    “Get in!” Adam urged.
