---- Chapter 797 "Get off him!"'' Melody shouted. She gripped the stripper''s long hair and yanked her forcefully off Ewan''sp. The stripper let out a sharp cry as she hit the ground with a thud. Furious, the stripper shot Melody a venomous re. "How dare you hit me! Do you think I''m some pushover?" She stood up and swiftly raked her nails across Melody''s face, leaving a deep, agonizing gash. "My face!" Melody screamed. "You bitch, how dare you ruin my face!

    I''ll make sure you regret this!" The two women shed with a fury, sending sses and bottles crashing to the floor ina chaotic tangle. Meanwhile, the rich heirs stood up to watch the spectacle. "Mr. Shaw, these two beauties are truly fighting over you. Your charm is irresistible . Having two women battling like this for your attention is no small feat!" "Who do you think will win? I bet on Ms. Alvarez!" "T''Il bet on the stripper!" "Use more strength! This is getting exciting!" The heirs cheered as the women continued their sh.

    ---- Ewan smirked as hezily watched the fight between Melody and the stripper . He found their antics utterly meaningless . ''As Ewan tured his head, his gaze suddenly swept over the dance floor, where he caught sight of a graceful figure. It was Hailey. Hailey held Aileen''s hand, effortlessly moving to the rhythm of the music. With her dance background, her movements were graceful and captivating. The men on the dance floor were instantly drawn to her, gathering around as if mesmerized by her presence. Hailey became the center of attention on the dance floor. Ewan suddenly stood up.

    One of the rich heirs beside him asked, ''''Mr. Shaw, what''s going on?" Without a word, Ewan turned and walked away. The heir grabbed his arm. "Mr. Shaw, where are you going? It''s your birthday! Don''t leave! Come have some fun with us!"" "yeah, Mr. Shaw, Ms. Alvarez and the stripper are still fighting for your attention. Aren''t you curious who''ll win?" Ewan''s patience had run out. He shot a cold nce at the heir and spat out, "Get lost." The heir immediately released his grip. Ewan walked briskly toward the dance floor.

    ---- As the heir watched him leave, he couldn''t help but ask, " What''s gotten into Mr. Shaw? He''s suddenly so serious." 2 One of them shrugged. "Who knows? But poor Ms. Alvarez and the stripper are still at it. Now that Mr. Shaw''s gone, they just look like clowns." Ewan made his way toward the dance floor, heading straight for Hailey. In his younger days, Ewan had been entranced by Melody, but after they slept together, he realized just how shallow she was -she was no different from the ambitious strippers, all of whom oozed a cheap, vulgar air. He had grown tired of it all.

    As Ewan watched Hailey, the lights of the dance floor illuminated her delicate features, giving her face a soft glow. It was the kind of radiantplexion that only someone from a distinguished family could possess. Over the past three years, Hailey had remained low-key. As the daughter of a top-tier family, she had been mostly seen apanying Aileen. In addition to that, she had opened her own studio and pursued a career in fashion design. She had already be a talented and aplished designer. It was only as Ewan matured that he truly understood Hailey''s worth.

    A woman from such an esteemed background was beyond the reach of the shallow, ordinary women like Melody. After Hailey distanced herself from him, she became an unshakable presence in his thoughts . She had transformed into his unattainable ideal.style
