Chapter 119
A man with such divine looks and an unparalleled background p>
Adrian couldn’t even begin to compare.
Hailey desperately wanted to conquer a man of his caliber.
She even started to regret settling for Adrian so quickly.
But whenever she recalled that day at Obsidian Palace, when Nicholas had appeared like a descending god to fiercely protect Serena, a powerful sense of resentment surged within her.
A man like that should belong to her, Hailey!
Hailey clenched her fists, her eyes filled with a greedy desire as she stared at Nicholas.
Suddenly, she remembered the photos she had secretly taken on her phone when she saw Serena in the hallway leading to the VIP area.
Originally, she had seen Serena in a chef’s uniform pushing a food cart and had taken the pictures to mock her later.
But… now she had a better idea!
A more vicious idea, one that was much more likely to achieve her goals!
Fortunately, she hadn’t come today with the intention of apologizing to the Lancaster
family alongside her parents.
She had taken great care to dress up before leaving.
It was the perfect opportunity to seduce Nicholas!
If she could steal Adrian from Serena, she could steal Nicholas too!
As long as she had a chance with Nicholas, she could dump Adrian in a heartbeat.
Besides, he had betrayed her first. The moment the Lancaster family started targeting them, he had gone silent and started ignoring her.
Hailey watched Nicholas Blackwood step into the Le Céleste lobby.
Her eyes quickly scanned the area, landing on a manager. She pulled out her phone and brought up one of the photos.
Before the security guards could react, she rushed toward the manager and preemptively declared, “Manager of Le Céleste, I want to report one of your employees-Serena p>
She held up her phone, her face a mask of resolute determination, the very picture
of an innocent girl standing up to injustice.
It was the same damsel-in-distress look that Adrian had always fallen for.
Rich men, she thought, were all suckers for this kind of thing.
Sure enough, it worked.
As soon as she rushed out, she kept an eye on Nicholas from the corner of her eye.
At the sound of her words, he had indeed paused, his deep, almond-shaped eyes turning to look at her.
Hailey’s heart skipped a beat. She felt a flush of shyness, but she couldn’t suppress the triumphant curl of her lips.
When the lobby manager saw her, he immediately tried to guide her toward the reception area, clearly wanting to avoid disturbing the other guests.
Of course, Hailey couldn’t leave.
She had to continue her performance.
She had to pretend she hadn’t noticed Nicholas, using her purest, most innocent, and fearless image to completely conquer him!
“Manager, I don’t know how that
Serena managed to get into the VIP area of Le Céleste, but her actions are clearly premeditated! I just saw her harassing a guest in the WP area, intentionally knocking something over to try and get his attention p>
She continued her act, her voice unwavering. “I am reporting that Le Céleste employee Serena is guilty of improper conduct! She is using her job to deliberately seduce guests in the VIP area p>
The surrounding guests were drawn in by the commotion and all turned to watch.
The lobby manager frowned, but his
voice remained polite and
composed. “I’m sorry, but all of Le Céleste’s employees are thoroughly
vetted through multiple checks What you are describing would never happert Furthermore Le Celeste does not have amemployee by the name of Serena p>
