Chapter 588

As long as she left this place, she would have a way to deal with Nicholas.

But how can I leave? The people looking for me are everywhere now.

Unable to come up with an idea, Hayley could only pin her hopes on the contacts in her phone.

Now, she could only leave with the help of others.

But who should I look for? Mom and Dad? No, Nicholas is definitely keeping a tab on them when he can’t find me.

In the end, she could only shift the attention to her friends, but there weren’t many who were capable of helping her out of a situation with Nicholas.

Screening them one by one, she finally decided on a guy named Jacob Chambers, who was interested in her when they were in university. However, this guy had a sinister fox-like personality and was not her type at all. So, she had always rejected him.

After they graduated from university, they weren’t that much in touch with each other, but she knew that he was doing rather well in Europe.

With that thought in her mind, the look in her eyes turned grim as an idea popped up in her head.

Then, using the new sim card she had just bought, she gave him a call.

no та са Perhaps because it was an unknown number, Hayley called several times but was hung up on.

Despite that, under her relentless calls, someone picked up her call in the end.

A cold voice echoed from the call. “Who’s this?”

His tone was obviously impatient and annoyed, and she was startled by it. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and said through gritted teeth while holding the phone tightly, “Hey, Jacob. It’s me, Hayley Stone.”

“It’s you, Hayley? Why did you call me so suddenly?” On the other end of the line, Jacob sounded pleasantly surprised.

“I’m now in Vienna and ran into some trouble. I really don’t know what to do, so I called you…” She went on to roughly tell him about her situation before diving right into her main point. “Jacob, can you please help me to leave Vienna?”

As Jacob was already interested in her to begin with, he jumped at the chance to answer to her requests when he heard that she needed his help.

“Where are you in Vienna now? I’ll come over to pick you up.”

“I’m in a hotel.” After she told him the location of the hotel, she urged anxiously, “You have to come here as soon as possible because I can’t hide here for long.”

Since Jacob was in a different country in Europe, he said, “I’ll get someone to arrange a flight immediately, but I’ll still need more than ten hours at least.”

Hayley thought about it and felt that there should be enough time for that because the hotel she was staying in was very remote. Moreover, she didn’t check in using her own name, so Nicholas probably wouldn’t find her so quickly.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you. Please come quickly!”

In the evening when Nicholas was finished with work, he drove over to pick Tessa up. In the end, he saw her coming out weakly with the help of Mona.

Opening the car door, he got out and went over in big strides. “What happened?” he asked, taking Tessa over from Mona’s hands. Then, he glanced at her with a domineering aura about him.

Sensing the majesty in the air, Mona gulped in fear and answered timidly, “It’s like this–Tessa fell sick for some reason and started having a fever in the afternoon.”

Furrowing his brows, Nicholas lowered his gaze at Tessa and asked in concern, “Why is she having a fever? She was still fine in the morning.”

“Maybe I was too tired previously and my body couldn’t adjust accordingly now that I’m relaxed. My throat felt a little uncomfortable in the afternoon, and I drank a lot of water. Unexpectedly, I started to have a fever out of the blue,” Tessa explained weakly. When she saw the worried look on his face, she assured, “I’m fine. I’ll be okay once I rest well for a night.”

Staring at her pale face, Nicholas didn’t believe that she was fine at all. Frowning, he picked her up in his arms without saying a thing and paced to the car in big steps.

Mona watched as the both of them walked further and further away before she let out a sigh heavily, patting her chest in fear.
