Ewan looked at Hailey and said, "It's too late! By the time Jonah finds you, you'll already be dead!"

He pulled out a knife and began walking toward her.

Hailey backed away in fear. "Ewan, stop this! Don't lose yourself like this. You're about to murder me! That's a serious crime!"

"Three years ago, I almost killed Jonah once. I can just as easily make you vanish without a trace!" Ewan said smugly.

Hailey blinked rapidly. "So it really was you who killed him three years ago!"

Ewan responded, "I can't believe he survived that! He was too damn lucky! Not only that, he went on to become some high-society big shot. I just can't stand seeing him alive."

"Ewan, what exactly did you do to Jonah back then?" Hailey asked.

Ewan let out a cold laugh as he said, "Three years ago, I had someone drag his badly injured body into a car.

"Then I rolled it right to the edge of a cliff. I poured sulfuric acid all over his face- burned it beyond recognition. Then, I pushed him together with the car over the edge."

Hailey had suspected as much, but hearing the full story still made her draw in a sharp breath.

"Ewan, what kind of monster are you? You actually poured acid on his face?" she asked, horrified.

Ewan laughed maniacally.

"That was all because of you! It's you who fell for him! Back then, he was just some poor nobody, but no matter where I turned, he kept stealing the spotlight. I can't believe you fell for him. Since you liked his face, I destroyed it. I made him look like a freak!"

So this was what a man's jealousy looks like. It was terrifying that Ewan actually went so far as to think about ruining Declan's face.

"Ewan, after doing all that, you deliberately pinned everything on me so Jonah would think I was the one behind it all, didn't you?" Hailey countered.

Ewan laughed. "So, you figured it out?"

"That's right. I know everything now! Jonah thought I was with you this whole time -that I was the one trying to kill him. But you were the mastermind all along! I didn't do anything, but you framed me for it!

"Ewan, how can you be this cruel? Killing wasn't enough! You had to drag me down with you too!" Hailey said angrily.

Ewan chuckled. "Yeah, I do want to kill and frame you. I do want to tear you two apart, so you can never be together again, want him to hate you, to be disgusted by you!"

Hailey trembled with rage. "Ewan, your schemes won't succeed!"

"Hailey, once I kill you, Jonah will lose you forever. If I can't have you, then he sure as hell won't either. He'll never beat me!"

"Ewan, you're insecure about yourself, right?" Hailey sneered.

Ewan froze, and his expression changed immediately. "What did you say?"

"So I wasn't wrong, was I? You're insecure, and you know that you can't compare to Jonah, so you're jealous! He might be broke, but plenty of people love him. And you? You can't beat him fair and square,

so you resort to low, dirty tricks.

"You're always skirting the law, seeing how much you can get away with. Ewan, you're honestly pathetic!"

Ewan's face distorted with rage at the sneer and contempt from the woman he claimed to love. He suddenly reached out and grabbed Hailey by the throat.

"Hailey, say you love me!"

At that moment, Hailey could barely breathe. Ewan's grip on her throat was like a noose tightening by the second. The air around her seemed to thin out, each breath harder than the last.

Her delicate face was flushed red, swelling from the pressure.

She rejected him, "No! I won't say it!"

Ewan's fingers tightened around her throat as he said, "Hailey, this is your last

chance. Say you love me, or I'll kill you right away!"

Hailey replied, "Fine. I'll say it!"

Ewan perked up when he heard that. "Say it, now!"

While looking at Ewan, Hailey said slowly, "I love you, Jonah! He's the one I love!"
