Hoping to prevent the challenge from happening, Hailey came to Declan and said, âDeclan, you donât need to take up the challenge. Youâll get hurt. If you need money.
Lean Declan shot Hailey a glare, and she immediately stopped talking. She did not mean to insult himâshe just didnât want him to get hurt.
Turning to the head contractor, Declan informed, âWe can begin.â
