Chapter 592
“That’s about it.”
“Hayley Stone, are you out of your mind?!” On the other side of the phone, a furious Nero jumped up from the couch after hearing what Hayley had said.
Sonia, who was watching from the side, was shocked when she saw her husband becoming so irate. Even though she also felt that her daughter was too impulsive, she still couldn’t help but take Hayley’s side. “Calm down. What are you so angry about? Since Hayley has already done it, being angry now doesn’t help matters at all!”
After he heard Sonia’s words, he became more enraged. “Are you hearing yourself right now? Do you know that what Hayley has done can bring so much harm to the Stone Enterprise?!”
He glared at Sonia furiously and hissed, “A kind mother makes a wastrel. This is the consequence of you spoiling her!”
Even though his criticism mortified her, she did not concede her argument. “As if you didn’t spoil her yourself,” she refuted him resentfully.
When he heard that, Nero became so incensed that he couldn’t even speak a word, and his face
flushed an angry red.
When Sonia noticed his agitated state, she didn’t bother arguing with him any further. So, she snatched the phone over and prompted Hayley on the phone. “Since Nicholas is looking for you everywhere, you should hide abroad and don’t return for a while.”
“I know. I’m just calling you to warn you, so none of you spill the beans about this,” Hayley told her anxiously through the call.
Sonia nodded and answered, “Don’t worry about it. Your dad and I will just say that we have no idea about your whereabouts. You should only come back sometime later when Nicholas isn’t as furious.”
“What about the company?” Even though Hayley felt that it was a good idea, she knew what kind of person Nicholas was. He would take his anger out on the Stone Family if he couldn’t find her.
Naturally, Sonia understood what Hayley was worrying about and comforted her. “Don’t worry about us. If Nicholas takes his anger out on us when he can’t find you, then I’ll ask your dad to ask for help from Tobias Sawyer.”
“Will it be of any use to find Mr. Sawyer? Didn’t he say that all matters of the Sawyer Group are out of his hands?” Hayley was still worried. After all, she had spent enough time with Nicholas and knew that nothing could change his mind once he had made a decision.
However, Sonia was confident. “You don’t have to worry about this. These days, your dad has been maintaining a good relationship with Tobias. We just need to say that we know nothing about it, and he’ll definitely stop Nicholas. For the sake of our relationship, he won’t make things too difficult for us. But if that still doesn’t work, we have your grandfather to help us out.
On the other side of the phone, Hayley felt more at ease after thoroughly digesting her mother’s
words as she thought that her mother indeed had a point.
After she hung up the phone, she sat on the couch with a cold face, and her hatred toward. Nicholas suddenly grew to a new level. As expected, he wouldn’t give up until he found her. I must leave this place before he finds me!
At the same time, she started to blame everything on Tessa Reinhart. “Damn you, b*tch! Just you wait. Once I have dealt with all this, I’ll definitely make your life miserable!”
Nicholas was seated at the desk in a black suit inside the president’s office of the Sawyer Group’s branch, but his charming face was devoid of facial expression.
Just then, Edward entered after knocking. He stood in the middle of the office and reported respectfully, “We’ve searched the hotels and motels in this area, but we still can’t find Hayley Stone.”
As soon as Nicholas heard that, his face turned even more baleful, and one could even feel the chills emanating from him.
“It’s been two days, and you can’t even find a woman? Are you all garbage? What am I even paying any of you for?” He gave Edward such a vicious glare that it felt like it was sharp as a blade.
Now that Edward was feeling the ominous aura full-frontal, he bit the bullet and suppressed the chattering of his teeth due to fear. Then, he continued, “I’ve asked people to hack into the CCTV footage on the road, but there wasn’t anyone suspicious. So, I figured she should be in another area. Therefore, I’ve sent people to that area to start their search, and I believe we can have the result by tonight.”
That night, in the hotel room…
