Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 464

His accusatory tone made Hailey's frown deepen.

"Are you still at the Blackwood estate? Send me your location, I'll come find you right now!" Adrian said again, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Don't..." Hailey instinctively started to refuse.

She had just been thrown out of the party by the Blackwoods.

If Adrian came over and saw her, it would be mortifying.

She had barely gotten a word out when Marianne bumped her hard, mouthing frantically, "Don't tell him."

Hailey blinked, instantly understanding Marianne's meaning.

She cleared her throat. "It's funny to hear you questioning me, Mr. Cole. You haven't answered a single one of my calls for days. How was I supposed to tell you anything?"

"Your disappearance made your intentions clear. Our families' engagement is off. Why are you calling me now?"

Adrian's voice softened. "Hailey, when did I ever say I wanted to cancel our engagement? I've just been busy these past few days..."

"Right, you were busy. So I won't bother you," Hailey said coolly, following Marianne's lead.

Adrian was clearly desperate to find out how she got into the Blackwood party, so he adopted a much humbler tone. "I was wrong, Hailey... You know how important the Cole family inheritance is to me. I've really been tied up with that..."

Hailey remained emotionally detached.

But she didn't hang up, which meant there was room for negotiation.

In the end, Adrian made a string of promises that finally softened Hailey's attitude.
