Halsey used to love him so much , but now , looking at his face , she probably didn’t anymore . That must be why she didn’t want to be intimate with him .
He could feel her resistance and refusal when they were in bed earlier .
Today , he had lost control .
“ Got it . You can leave . ”
“ Okay . ”
Martin then left .
Shaun stood alone in the office , staring at the chat interface . Halsey hadn’t replied at all .
A bitter smile curved his lips . Still , he wrote , [ Goodnight . ]
Halsey rested for two days . Madeline was coming home today , so Halsey got up early , preparing all of her favorite things .
Just then , Patricia rushed in . “ I have bad news ! ”
Halsey startled . “ What happened ? ”
“ That troublesome worker was about to settle . He was planning to take the money and sign the agreement . This whole thing would be over once he signed the deal . But just now , your father called – he said the man suddenly disappeared ! No one can find him . ”
What ?
Halsey’s heart dropped to the pit of her stomach . “ What do you mean , disappeared ? What if something happens to him ? This whole thing will blow up even worse ! ”
“ That’s exactly what your dad thinks . That worker is crucial , but now he’s vanished . ”
It couldn’t be a coincidence . Someone must have done something to him .
Only one person came to Halsey’s mind . No one else .
She stepped aside and pulled out her phone , dialing a number .
Soon , the call connected , and a familiar voice rang out . “ Hey , Halsey . What’s up ? Didn’t expect you to have time to call me . ”
It was Gilbert .
Halsey gripped the phone tightly . “ Did you send someone to take that worker ? What did you do to him ? ”
Gilbert laughed , cold and cruel . “ I don’t know what you’re talking about ! That worker’s gone missing ? What a problem . What if he’s dead ? Then Lincoln Enterprise won’t be able to clear its name no matter what , and you’ll be done for . Haha ! ”
Hearing Gilbert’s arrogant laughter , rage boiled inside Halsey . “ You’re despicable ! ”
“ I heard the Lincoln family plans to have a marriage alliance with the Johnson family . You won’t marry me , but you’re willing to marry Calvin ? Why ? Let me tell you – if I can’t have you , no one else can ! I’ll destroy you with my own hands ! ” Gilbert raged like
a madman .
Halsey knew it was Gilbert who had done this . That worker was dogmed in his hands .
“ You’re insane ! ”

“ Haha ! This is your last chance . If you agree to be with me , things can still be fixed . ”
Then , came two beeps . Gilbert hung up .
Halsey’s hands and feet went cold . She had never imagined Gilbert would sink so low . Now what ? If that worker died because of Gilbert , everything would be over !
She had to find that worker .
Halsey looked at Patricia . “ Double the effort to find that worker ! We can’t let anything happen to him ! ”
“ We’ve searched everywhere . No luck . ”
What now ?
One person flashed through her mind . He was the only one she could think of .
“ I’m heading out , ” Halsey said before she ran out .
