The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam) novel Chapter 1029

Hailey listened quietly, then remarked, "When you put it like that, the whole story of Rebecca saving you sounds a little too neat.

"The night you were in trouble, she just happened to be there and saved you. Then you found that you're both attending Aspenfield University, became close friends, and you introduced her to me."

Olivia gave her an odd look and asked, "What are you implying? Are you suggesting that Rebecca saved me just to get close?"

Hailey arched a brow and replied, "I never said that."

After thinking about it, Olivia said, "You've seen Rebecca's family, Hailey. She's such a poor thing.

"Her father gambles and abuses her, and the whole family is counting on her to earn a living. I think she's just simple and unfortunate, so let's not overthink it."

After seeing Olivia's blind trust in Rebecca, Hailey didn't press further. To Olivia, Rebecca was her savior, and she was deeply grateful.

"Alright, let's drop it and get ready for class."

Olivia nodded. "Okay."

Hailey turned around, pulled out her phone, and tapped on Celine's chat before sending a message. "Celine, I need a favor."

Celine's reply came instantly. "Of course. What's up?"

"I need your help looking into someone. He's a man with a gambling problem and a history of abuse. Also, he has a daughter named Rebecca, who studies at Aspenfield University."

Hailey tapped into her gallery, pulled up a photo she'd secretly snapped earlier of Daniel, and sent it over.

"This is him."

Celine replied, "Got it. I'll let you know as soon as I find something."

Hailey smiled lightly. "Don't worry about it. Let's go."

"Is Mr. Pilsner picking us up today?" Rebecca asked as she glanced around the lot, searching for Jonah's luxury car.

Hailey caught her eager expression and almost laughed. She reckoned that Celine's report might not even be necessary anymore since she could already figure out Rebecca's motives.

Rebecca's intentions were written all over her face, and it was obvious that she was here for Jonah.

A flicker of jealousy stirred in Hailey's chest. Jonah might have earned another admirer—as if he didn't already have enough.

"Jonah's tied up at work tonight. He'll be staying late at the office, so we're going back ourselves," Hailey replied.

Rebecca nodded. "Alright."
