Jonah's mood darkened, and his features tightened with displeasure. The way so many men stared at Hailey made him feel deeply uneasy.
He hated the idea of others ogling her. To be honest, he never wanted Hailey to take the stage and dance at all.
Moments later, Hailey's electrifying pole dance came to an end. A sheen of sweat glistened on her fair skin like morning dew on rose petals. She was utterly mesmerizing.
Thunderous applause erupted from the crowd, with many banging on tables in excitement. "Ms. Hailey! Ms. Hailey! Ms. Hailey!" they chanted loudly.
Hailey grabbed the microphone, raising a finger to her lips once more and hushing the crowd.
The men in the audience quickly fell silent.
"Everyone, the truth is—this dance was meant for someone special," Hailey announced.
The crowd erupted in excited chatter.
"Ms. Hailey, who could it be? Is it me?"
"Out of the way! That dance was clearly meant for me!"
Voices overlapped as the crowd playfully competed for the honor.
Hailey's bright eyes slowly swept the room before settling on the VIP lounge. She pointed and said, "That person is right there!"
With that, all eyes turned toward Jonah, seated in the VIP lounge.
The wealthy heirs couldn't hide their excitement.
"Mr. Pilsner! Ms. Hailey danced just for you!"
"Is this Ms. Hailey's way of confessing her feelings?"
Kaia was left speechless, painfully aware of every gaze in the room directed at her. These were no ordinary spectators—they were the heirs of the Capitol's most influential families.
Hailey's performance had turned Kaia into the target of ridicule, crushing her dignity and leaving her utterly exposed.
Hailey's dance was graceful and enchanting, reflecting the sophistication of a noble heiress. In stark contrast, Kaia's movements came across as flashy and provocative, like a desperate influencer vying for men's attention.
Kaia felt as though Hailey had completely broken her pride and crushed her beneath her feet.
Just then, Hailey's eyes shifted to Joanne. "And you, Joanne—I know you're just waiting for me to slip up, but I'm afraid you'll be sorely disappointed."
Joanne was stunned into silence, as if struck by an unexpected blow.
She had come ready to watch Hailey fail, but instead, Joanne found herself the one being mocked.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
Such a wack writer....
And now we're onto another sets of characters that weren't included from the beginning....
Nathan and Michelle???...
Thought Celine got pregnant before Hailey…..how come Celine is 3 months and Hailey 7?...
if there is already a surveillance video as evidence for the poisoning of Hailey, why go all the trouble of pretending? Celine is also pregnant right? What is happening to them, and what about Adam's headaches ......
Why is this writer like this! Seems it’s going to be a never ending story!!! Rebecca or Melody, why is she here again!!! Don’t these female characters move on!!! Goshhhhh...
A man with a team of invisible bodyguards that only appear on orders and disappear in time of troubles. Hmm😆🤏...
When will Hailey show that she is Adam's cousin and be ruthless? Joanne needs to be put in her place and realize Jonah does not want her. Ewan is just as bad as she is. Hailey needs to get help from Celine or Adam if she doesn't want Jonah to find out what's happening....
If the focus has to go on other characters in the book, at least make it more interesting! They were separated for three years, and still having love rivals! Especially one from the past!!! Why can’t Ewan and Joanne move in together and move on!!...
Imagine the long read if they decide to switch back to Adam and Celine. Not reading this with the same enthusiasm from the beginning....
