Shaun had accepted that he would never be the same as before.

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.
