Chapter 593
As soon as Hayley finished her dinner, she heard someone knocking on her door.
She was startled and walked to the door cautiously. “Who’s there?” she asked while modulating her voice as she was worried that Nicholas’ men had found her.
At this moment, a cold voice resonated from outside. “It’s me.”
When Hayley heard that voice, she felt relieved and was no longer on tenterhooks, She opened the door immediately, and a tall man was standing outside.
The man looked about 25 or 26 in his tailored black suit and had a mohawk hairstyle that refined his charming features. All in all, he looked exquisite yet wild.
This man was Jacob Chambers. As he looked at Hayley’s haggard face by the door, he couldn’t help but frown.
However, before he could say anything about it, she quickly moved aside and invited him into the room. “Let’s talk inside.”
When he was inside, he sat on the couch elegantly with his legs crossed.
“It’s been a while. However, I never imagined our next meetup would be in a situation like this.” He observed her from head to toe with his obsidian eyes before the corners of his mouth curled upward into a mysterious smirk.
At this moment, she felt uncomfortable under his stare, but she endured it as she remembered that she was the one asking for his help.
“It has been a long time.” She nodded in agreement with Jacob’s words. After that, she instantly went straight to the heart of the matter. “Sorry for bothering you this time, to the point where you would need to come here personally.”

“It’s fine. I will go to the ends of the world if it’s for you.” He smiled as he looked at her with his pitch-black eyes.
However, even with his lover’s prattle, Hayley still felt indifferent. After all, he was not her type, and she had given all her affection to Nicholas. She didn’t need any other men in her life apart from Nicholas.
So, with a flickering gaze, she tried to gloss it over and said, “Now is not the time for this. We should leave.”
When Jacob heard that, he just raised his eyebrows and didn’t question her. “Okay then, you
should pack your things.”
As soon as he said that, Hayley answered, “I’m done packing. I was just waiting for you to arrive.”
Jacob furrowed his brows slightly when he heard the eagerness in her tone, so he couldn’t help but ask, “Who did you offend that you’re in such a rush?”
“I’ll tell you about it later.” But, of course, she was just being perfunctory. In all honesty, she didn’t want to tell him the truth.
On the other hand, as soon as Edward received the news from his subordinate, he knocked and went into President Sawyer’s office at once. “President Sawyer, we’ve found the hotel Hayley Stone is staying at.”
“Good. Get the woman here, by any means necessary,” Nicholas instructed him coldly.
As soon as Edward heard that, he nodded before he turned to leave.
However, when he arrived at the hotel with his subordinates, he was informed by the hotel’s employee that Hayley had already checked out.
“Damn it!” Edward was so enraged that he couldn’t help cursing. Then, he asked the employee furiously, “When did that happen?”
“J-Just a few moments ago.” Startled by Edward’s furious expression, the employee didn’t dare to hide the truth.
As soon as he heard that, Edward immediately left the hotel with his subordinates to chase after Hayley.
At this moment, a black car drove off in front of them. He saw her sitting inside the vehicle at a glance and instructed his subordinates to chase after the car at once.
At the thought of how much he had been through to find this woman, he couldn’t let her escape so easily.
Hayley noticed Edward inside the car as well. In an instant, her face paled in fright. It was especially so when she saw him and his subordinates driving right behind her and giving chase. She became anxious and rushed Jacob. “Jacob, speed up! Hurry! Those guys that I offended are after me!”
When Jacob heard her anxious urging, he glanced in the rearview mirror at once. As she said, several cars were behind, chasing after his car. At this moment, his face turned cold at once.
“Hang on.” As soon as he said this, he floored the accelerator.
His driving skills were so superb that he didn’t even slow down a single bit when driving on a congested road.
