Chapter 548


    Chapter 548


    Hayley bit her bottom lip while ring at Nichs resentfully. However, he only responded with a cold


    and threatening re. “This is yourst chance. If you ever do anything again, it will be the end of the


    Stone Family!”


    The moment Hayley heard his sentence, she lifted her head to give him a look of disbelief. “Do you


    really have to be so heartless?”


    “I mean what I say. Don’t you dare test my limits!” He didn’t allow any space for further discussion, and


    there was a grave look on his face. Hayley felt like she was being thrown into an abyss when she


    realized he wasn’t messing around. At that moment, she truly realized that the rtionship between the


    Stones and the Sawyers no longer existed.


    After Nichs finished his words, he no longer looked at Hayley-he simply turned to give his orders to


    Edward. “Please send Miss Stone out of my office.” Edward didn’t dare to dawdle as he immediately


    took action to usher her out of the building.


    Hayley found herself being chased out of Sawyer Group. From outside the building, she nced up at


    the window where Nichs’s room was located. Her face was filled with hatred, and she eventually


    stormed off and headed home.


    Once she got home, she locked herself into the room. The more she thought about the situation, the


    more she felt angry. How could Nichs treat me like that? I only did those things because I wanted to


    marry him! “D*mn it! D*mn it!” She was fuming, and everything around her seemed to annoy her right


    then. She flung her limbs around and smashed everything that she couldy her hands on in her room.


    Soon enough, several things in her room were broken and shattered on the ground.


    The loud noises immediately caught Nero and Sonia’s attention. “What are you doing, Hayley?” Sonia


    pushed Hayley’s door open to find the room in a mess and looked at her daughter with worry. In


    contrast, Nero frowned when he saw the state of the room.


    When Hayley saw her parents, she suddenly felt extremely sorry for herself. “Nichs was too much,


    Mom and Dad!” Her parents exchanged nces before questioning her. “What did he do


    to you?”


    “Nichs knew about everything all along. Nevertheless, he has been attacking us in an attempt to


    teach us a lesson.” She told her parents about what happened during her visit to Nichs’s office that


    afternoon. “He gave us a warning-he said that we’d be dead meat if we tried any tricks again,” Hayley


    cried.


    Both Nero and Sonia’s faces darkened upon hearing her words. Nero’s face, in particr, turned into a


    sickly green color. He could tell that he was being trampled upon, yet there was nothing they could do!


    At that moment in time, the most the Stone Family could manage to do was to survive and pull through.


    However, their daughter had just ruined theirst sliver of hope. Nero shut his eyes briefly, and he


    hunched his shoulders in disappointment. However, when he opened his eyes again, there was a firm


    determination in his eyes. “You need to stop meeting Nichs from now on, Hayley,” he announced


    resolutely.


    “But I can’t just let things be!” Hayley cried as she stared at her father with bloodshot eyes.


    Nero shot her a displeased look. “Well, are you going to risk the Stone Family’s well-being for the sake


    of your happiness?” Hayley bit her bottom lip furiously. Sonia could tell that their conflict was about to


    escte, so she quickly stepped forward. “Hayley’s really hurt by this matter too, Nero. Stop


    reprimanding her.”


    “Would she understand how serious this matter is if I didn’t scold her for her behavior?!” Nero


    disagreed with Sonia’s point of view. “If she can’t let go of him now, the Stones will just end up like the


    Ginghams!


    “There’s no way that will happen. Our rtionship with the Sawyers is much stronger than the


    Ginghams and the Sawyers.” Sonia figured that Nero was just exaggerating the matter. However, Nero


    then shot his wife a cold re. “Do you know Nichs well enough to say that?”

    Sonia was rendered speechless, so Nero scoffed before he continued. “Judging from what happened


    to the Gingham Family, I believe that Nichs has the capacity to do anything he wants to do once he


    puts his mind to it.”


    Nero turned to look at Hayley before speaking in a threatening tone. “I want you to remember not to


    ever look for Nichs again. Otherwise, you can’t me me for being a heartless father. I’ll send you


    out of the country.”


    Hayley froze in her spot. Her chest felt heavy with hatred and self-pity. However, her father’s words


    gave her another idea. Since I can’t do much with Nichs here, perhaps I can go overseas to ruin


    Tessa’s life instead.
