Shaun had been stuck in meetings all day , completely unaware that Halsey had come looking for him .
His eyes darkened as he glared at Chelsea . “ Did you know Lincoln Enterprise was in trouble and deliberately kept Halsey from seeing me ? ”
Chelsea shook her head quickly . “ I had no idea … I can explain … ”
Warren tried to speak up for Chelsea . “ I don’t think Chelsea did it on purpose- ”
But Shaun cut him off without a word , and then stared straight at Chelsea . “ Don’t come to my company again . I don’t want to see you here , ever . “ 1
With that , Shaun turned to his secretary . “ Find out where Halsey is right now . And get a car ready immediately. I’m going after her . ”
The secretary nodded . “ Right away . ”
Without hesitation , Shaun sprinted out , determined to find Halsey .
Chelsea froze where she stood , watching helplessly as Shaun chased after Halsey . His heart and mind belonged only to Halsey . And now , Shaun had just told Chelsea that she wasn’t welcome at the company anymore — it was like a harsh slap in the face , leaving her with no dignity at all .
Warren looked at Chelsea with sympathy . “ Don’t worry … ”
Madeline frowned sharply at him . “ Stop defending her ! ”
Warren looked conflicted . “ Chelsea really cares about Shaun . Everything she does is for his good . ”
“ For his good ? Do you even know what my brother really wants ? ” Madeline argued .
Warren paused . “ Well … ”
“ You know he loves Halsey , but you keep trying to come between them . How is that for his good ? I know you consider him a good friend , but you should know that there’s a line . I don’t want you and my brother to fall out over Halsey . ”
With that , Madeline turned and left .
Warren called after her , “ Maddy … ”
Chelsea was furious . She had never expected Shaun’s sister to show up , and she had now offended the latter . Now , with Madeline’s powerful intervention , the fragile harmony between Chelsea and Shaun was shattered ; fixing it would be almost impossible .
Why had it come to this ?
Chelsea had spent three years by Shaun’s side . She didn’t want to walk away now .
She looked at Warren , desperation in her eyes . “ Halsey isn’t right for Shaun . She hurt him once three years ago , and now she’s going to do it again . You have to help me . ”
Warren met her gaze , sighing . “ I’ve been trying to help , but Shaun’s heart truly belongs to Halsey . As his friend , I can’t interfere too much . I don’t want to lose our friendship because of this . ”
With that , Warren walked away .
Chelsea stood frozen , unwilling to let Shaun go . She couldn’t lose im – not like this !

Outside , Halsey was searching relentlessly for the worker , scouring every place without rest .
One of her aides handed her a cup of water . “ Ms. Halsey , please have some water . ”
Halsey knew every second counted . That worker was far too important .
Gilbert was pushing her to give in , but she refused to back down . The olive branch extended by the Johnson family wasn’t an option , either . She had to find that worker on her own .
But as time ticked away , there was still no sign .
Suddenly , Halsey asked , “ Have you checked the worker’s family home ? ”
Her aide nodded . “ Yes , but no one’s there . ”
Halsey thought it through . The worker definitely wasn’t in Gilbert’s hands , so he must have sent people to look for him as well .
That meant the worker was hiding somewhere – alone , somewhere he hoped no one would find him .
