Chapter 327 Hayley’s Plan
On the way home, Yana kept cursing Stefania while in the car. “That b*tch Stefania wouldn’t be able to put up such high airs if she hadn’t married into the Sawyer Family, taking a b*stard born from some unknown woman as a treasure. But, of course, it will be the best if it’s one day proven that that b*stard doesn’t even belong to her son at all. Oh, I would love to be the fly on the wall when that truly happens just to see the look on her face!”
After venting out her anger, she finally felt much better, and when she calmed down, a worried look washed across her face at the thought of Roselle’s situation that wasn’t getting any better. “Hubby, what should we do about Roselle? Without the help from the Sawyer Family, it will be difficult to get her out.”
Declan muttered with a solemn look, “What else can we do? We’ll have to keep thinking of other ways.”
“But we already used up all the ideas that we came up with. So what other solution can there be?” With her tightly knitted brows, Yana was unable to hide the anxiety on her face. “Hubby, you have to think of a way to get Roselle out. She’s still young! She can’t go to jail!”
“What’s the point of being scared now? You shouldn’t have done those things in the first place!” Declan became even more annoyed and frustrated by Yana’s urging when he thought of the things Roselle did. “We had a good relationship with the Sawyer Family at first, but it’s now completely ruined by the both of you just like that.”
“Well, you didn’t raise your objections when we did those things back then, did you?” she retorted indignantly.
He glared at her and snapped, “I didn’t object because I thought your objective was to marry into the Sawyer Family, but I never imagined that you chose to harm Gregory, of all people! I really wonder what the both of you were thinking about!”
On the top floor of the Sawyer Group, Hayley stepped out of the elevator wearing a light-colored dress paired with stilettos. She carried a food warmer in her hands, and she smiled as she walked toward the president’s office elegantly.
Knock, knock.
“Come in,” Nicholas said nonchalantly on the other side of the door.
Hayley opened the door, stepped in, and saw the dashing man working seriously at the desk. Golden rays of light poured into the room through the window and fell on him, making him look holy as if a layer of golden light showered upon him.
While she was dumbstruck at the sight, Nicholas lifted his head and met her eyes which were filled with admiration. Then, he asked indifferently with furrowed brows, “Why are you here?”
The sound of his voice jerked her back to her senses, and she waved the food warmer in her hands awkwardly.
“I thought you must be very busy after coming back from a business trip. So, I specially asked my chef to prepare your favorite food and brought it here because I’m worried you’ll skip your meals,” she said, opening up the food warmer and spreading the food across the coffee table in the office to display her virtuous side.
However, he was unmoved by any of it and turned her down emotionlessly. “I’m sorry, I have a lunch appointment with a client in the afternoon.”
The smile froze on Hayley’s face, and a wounded look flashed across her eyes, but he didn’t care as he continued with his work at hand. After that, he grabbed his jacket on the back of his chair and walked away from his desk, leaving her standing alone in the spacious office with an unpleasant expression.
When she sensed that he was avoiding her on purpose, she felt unjustified, but he was the man she had her eyes on. Therefore, she must have him no matter what!
Just when she was gathering the things and preparing to leave, she caught sight of a document on the desk from the corner of her eyes.
Narrowing her eyes slightly, she walked over briskly. It seemed that Nicholas was interested in a project from another foreign company and had asked the planning department to develop a proposal to win the project.
After she took a glance at the company’s name, a shrewd light flashed past her eyes with delicate makeup. She remembered that she had a classmate who happened to be a managing director in this company, and an idea hatched in her mind at that instant.
On that night, she contacted her classmate and received a lot of insider information from him. Then, she went straight to her father’s study with that information.
“Dad, I might need your help for something.”
She was a schemer at heart, so she didn’t plan to introduce Nicholas directly to her friend. Instead, she wanted her father to casually bring up this matter when he visited Tobias.
