StartNovel---- Chapter 804, The man's reply was simple, yet distant. Hailey felt a little ridiculous for expecting anything
else. She put away her phone, quietly left Aileen's room, and headed to the living room. Just then, Miranda
approached her. "Hailey." Miranda Young was Hailey's mother. As the youngest in the Lambert family, Hailey had
taken her mother's maiden name. Despite the years, Miranda was still stylish and youthful, and her relationship
with James had always been strong. Hailey was their only daughter, and they had always cherished her. "Ts
Aileen asleep?" Miranda asked. Hailey nodded.
"She just dozed off." Miranda gave a small nod, then said, "Hailey, there's something | need to tell you. The
Shaws called earlier. They've asked if both of our families could sit down and talk about the engagement
between our families." Hailey felt a rush of frustration. She had finally shaken Ewan off tonight, and now he
wanted both of our families to meet? "Mom, | don't want to see him! Yes, our families had an arrangement , but
Ewan cheated onwith Melody. He was the one who called off the engagement. As far as I'm ---- concerned,

Ewan never truly cared about you-he just used you to climb closer to our family. We haven't forgotten. "However,
the Shaws have grown rapidly in recent years, and our families have a long history together. There are numerous
intertwined interests, and it's not easy to untangle them overnight. "They called just now, sincerely asking us to

Take the chance to reject the engagement - politely but firmly." As the Lamberts’ heiress, Hailey understood all
too well that prestige cwith responsibility . She couldn't afford to tear things apart publicly between the two
families. She nodded. "Fine. We'll meet tomorrow. I'll make it clear to Ewan-once and for all." "Good," Miranda

Miranda, she made her way to Atlas Hotel, where the Lamberts and the Shaws had arranged to meet.
They stepped into a private, luxuriously decorated dining suite, where Sally and Ewan were already waiting. ----
Sally rose to greet them with a warm smile. "Mrs. Lambert , Hailey-you're finally here!" Ewan's gaze immediately
locked onto Hailey. Today, she wore a tweed dress, and her soft, flowing hair cascaded down her back. Elegant ,
delicate , effortlessly beautiful -she drew gazes to her wherever she went. Ewan's eyes lit up. The woman he had
chased all night without success was now right in front of him. Soon, she would be in his bed too. Ewan smirked.
"Hailey, you're finally here." Hailey gave him a cold glance and looked away without a word. Ewan wasn't
offended in the slightest. The more she resisted, the more obsessed he became. Once they were married, he
would settle everything with her in bed. He would make sure she paid for every ounce of defiance. His twisted
affection clawed at him, maddening and insatiable. Miranda said, "Hailey, let's sit." The four of them took their
seats. Miranda turned to Sally and said, "Mrs. Shaw, we're here today to talk about their engagement.
