The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1000

As Ewan and Joanne turned around, they saw the warehouse doors burst open with a loud bang.

A squad of police officers stormed in, shouting, "Hands in the air! Don't move!"

The cops were here!

The sudden turn of events drained the color from Ewan and Joanne's faces.

Still trying to keep up appearances, Ewan shouted, "Where are my men? Where the hell are my men?"

Ewan's henchmen had already been forced to the ground.

"Mr. Ewan, we're over here! We're surrounded!"

What? They were surrounded? How was that even possible?

Today's operation had been meticulously planned. This place was quite secluded, so no one was supposed to know about it.

How could they possibly be surrounded?

"Put your hands in the air!" Two officers stepped forward and grabbed Ewan and Joanne.

Another officer moved over to Hailey and quickly untied the rope around her wrists.

Furious, Joanne glared at Hailey, demanding, "Hailey, what's going on? Why are the police here?"

Hailey let out a cold laugh. "Don't you find it strange? You thought your little scheme was flawless, didn't you? That you'd covered your tracks so well, and yet… Here the police are. They've got the place surrounded as well."

"Hailey, what's going on? What the hell did you do?" Ewan asked.

"Ewan! Joanne!"

Both of them looked up. They were shocked when they saw who it was.

Joanne called out in disbelief, "Jonah!"

Jonah walked in with Justin by his side.

Hailey shook her head and replied, "I'm fine. Don't worry about me."

Jonah then placed his hand on her belly. "Is the baby okay?"

Hailey smiled as she said, "We're both fine."

Jonah looked a little regretful. "I never should've agreed to this. I never should've played along with you."

"Played along?" Those two words hit Ewan and Joanne like a slap in the face.

They both turned to Hailey and asked, "Play along? What's that supposed to mean?"

Hailey let out a cold chuckle.

"It's exactly what it sounds like. Jonah and I were putting on a show the whole time—just to trick you into showing your true colours!"

Ewan and Joanne's expressions changed as they realized what she meant.

"You two were…"
