Hailey tried to pull away, but Jonah only tightened his arms around her, holding her even closer.
"I'm not letting go," he said bluntly.
She pushed against his chest. "What are you doing? Ms. Ellington is watching. Let go, now!"
"I said no!" Jonah said firmly.
Near the door, Kaia stood frozen. She was speechless.
What on earth was happening?
Had she just become part of whatever this was between Jonah and Hailey?
Was she the third wheel now?
Maybe… she should just leave?
Kaia replied, "Mr. Pilsner, you asked me to come in."
Jonah glanced her way, barely lifting his eyes.
"Are you wearing a diamond bracelet?" he asked.
Kaia's expression shifted immediately. She instinctively moved her wrist, trying to hide the bracelet behind her sleeve.
However, Jonah had already seen it. He let out a cold chuckle and asked, "Did you tell people I gave that to you?"
Kaia stammered as she responded, "Mr. Pilsner, I-I think… There must be some misunderstanding. I didn't—"
Hailey cut in. "Ms. Ellington, there's no misunderstanding. You told me yourself that Jonah gave you that bracelet. You even bragged about it in front of me. That was just earlier today. Have you already forgotten?"
Kaia fell silent.
"I will! The bracelet wasn't from Mr. Pilsner. I bought it myself! The diamond is fake—it only cost a hundred bucks!"
What?
As someone raised among luxury, Hailey should have spotted a fake immediately. However, she had assumed Jonah gave it to Kaia, so she hadn't even questioned it.
Now, after looking closely at the bracelet on Kaia's wrist, she realized that the bracelet was a fake.
It was a knockoff!
Hailey said, "Kaia, how dare you fool me with a fake bracelet? Why would you do that?"
Kaia replied, "I-I like Mr. Pilsner. I wanted to come between you two. I thought the bracelet would make you doubt him. Please, Mr. Pilsner, I've told you everything now. Just give me another chance. I won't lie again."
"You think there's going to be a next time?" Jonah responded coldly. "Ms. Ellington, you're officially fired. Don't bother showing up to work tomorrow!"

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....
