…At DG Jewelry Corp.Liam sat in his office, staring at his wristwatch. Thirty minutes had passed. It had been a while since he sent that employee to get Haley…Why hadn't she returned yet?Was Haley not in the company?She might be snubbing him again. That woman!Was it because he gave her the go-ahead to rest for a few days? Ridiculous.She knew how important it was to not miss a single day of work.He could cut her salary and she could do nothing about it.Ten more minutes passed by. Now it had been forty minutes since Liam sent the employee.Maybe he should go down and take a look. But Haley liked treating him as a stranger in the employees' presence.Well, it wasn't like Liam cared either. Finally!A soft knock came on the door. That employee had returned. “What took you so long?” Liam gave her a displeased look, glancing behind her to see if Haley was with her.The employee came back alone, however.Where the hell was Haley? “Ehm, Mr. Nash… I- I was waiting for Haley
Desmond Nash was so enraged that he paced back and forth and punched the wall several times. His knuckles were bruised, but the middle-aged man didn't seem to care. His murderous look was enough to make one tremble on their toes.His deadly aura made the driver cower in a corner, while Leah hid behind Liam's back. Liam couldn't help but reprimand Haley in his mind, seeing his father like this. “Dad, calm down,” he murmured. How could he think of killing Haley?That troublemaker was present there, but she didn't put her hands in the fight. The fight was only between his mother and Camille Woods. Haley shouldn't be involved. “By the way!” His father yelled. “Why are you standing here instead of ransacking the city for that filthy girl and teaching her a lesson!?”“You have to put an end to this, Will.” Leah butted in. “Haley's fond of using Camille Woods to bully others. Remember what happened at the beauty parlor.”Liam had almost forgotten about that event. At the beauty parlo
…At DG Villa Estates.After a whole day of chaos, they were finally home. Driving around the city wasn't easy, but the worst experience was the strenuous activities they had to undergo at the hospital. Haley's fears came true. They didn't even get to do shopping all because of that huge drama. The Mall's parking lot suddenly turned into a battlefield, her sister-in-law ended up in the hospital, in fact. “Ouch! Be careful!” Camille yelped as Haley carefully helped her sit on the couch. With one hand cuddling her huge bump, and the other hand holding her waist, her expression twisted, her eyes red as sweat poured down her forehead. One would think Camille was in labor. Haley couldn't even imagine the kind of pain she must be going through.“Haley, my waist- it's gonna break!”“Of course…” Haley chided softly. “Why would you fight with Vera Nash?”The troublesome woman was very strong. It was a miracle that Camille was able to defeat her. Apart from that,One of Vera's bodygua
Haley's ears must be playing tricks on her.Why would Liam go to the mansion to humiliate her parents?Why couldn't he have a private meeting with them?Was he so mad that he couldn't wait?Damn that man!!!It's no wonder the couple were mad at Camille.Liam shaming them in public must have caused that.Who knew what those onlookers were saying?They could jump to any conclusions.They could label Camille with bad words.Because, the all-mighty William Nash was there, they wouldn't dare say that Vera Nash was at fault too.In such a situation, wasn't a pregnant woman supposed to be pitied the most?Vera started it by the way!“No- No- No, you don't mean it.” At her brother's last words, Camille shook her head in disbelief, tears gathering in her eyes. “They're not angry-”“They are, Camille.” Andrew softened his voice, the rage in his eyes fading.But Camille's fear was evident.No longer was she screaming and angry,Her expression shifting from disbelief to fear, she cowered into And
~Stepping out of his car, Liam's eyes swept across the place before they settled on the mini Villa ahead.Was Daryl out of his mind?Why would he move into this kind of place?Apart from being very far from the company, this neighborhood was near the city's outskirts.Was Liam's Intel even correct that his brother had moved in here?But Daryl's assistant would never lie to him.That could cost the guy his job.Well, he'd rot here for all Liam cared.If it wasn't for Haley's sake, Liam wouldn't even come.As his brother kept rejecting his calls, Liam had to come in person.Something told him Daryl knew where Haley was hiding.If Liam couldn't coax the truth out of him, he'd force him to spill it. Throwing a final glance across the vast empty neighborhood, Liam stepped forward and pressed the doorbell.No reply.Was Daryl not home?He pressed it again, and still no answer.Well, if Liam didn't get a reply for the third time, he'd have to conclude no one was living here.Probably,Dary
~Peeking through the tiny holes in the bushes, Haley held her breath. The cars pulled over one after the other, and her parents came out of one.Accompanying them were all the bodyguards from the Woods Mansion. Damn!Was Camille the only person in trouble?When Haley glimpsed the anger on her father's face, she had an inkling of what he was up to.If her brother didn't get punished along with his wife, then many more people would be implicated.Engrossed in watching her parents' car and anxious someone might glance this way, Haley almost forgot one thing.Liam's car!It was no longer there.How strange.When did he leave? “Haley, ouch! It hurts!” Squatting beside Haley behind the bushes, Camille held her waist, hissing in pain. Haley brought her attention to her, sighing.Of course, She'd feel pain.Even Haley's legs were damn aching.They'd been hiding from Liam at first, and then they had to hide from her parents.For more than ten minutes, they'd been in this position.“They
Cuddling her bump, Camille rose to her feet with one hand on her waist. Panting, she placed a hand on Haley's shoulder for support. Suspicion flashed in her eyes as well as wariness. She must be thinking Haley's idea was dangerous.Well, it was a bit dangerous,But it's the only idea that could get them out of this messy situation.“What are you up to, Haley?” Camille asked, her tone filled with apprehension.“Just act along.” Haley supported her with both hands, sneaking her out of the place. “We're going to the hospital.”Camille gasped. She paused for a second, then as if changing her mind, she resumed walking.Haley saw that reaction coming.Apart from hating anything that had to do with hospitals, Camille must have sensed what she was up to. Moments later, she sighed. “I just hope we don't get caught.”Although the idea just came to Haley, she doubted they'd get caught.Their only challenge right now would be the doctor.Would he agree or not?They spent ten minutes on the r
So Haley's parents knew she was in the room.They just pretended not to notice her.Neither did they act shocked or surprised as they stared at her.On both their faces was a look Haley hoped she'd never see again.The remorse in her mother's eyes as she addressed Camille transformed into a cold look. Staring at Haley, she spat out the words, “You're too bold to be standing here. I never thought you'd hang around with any member of the Woods Family.” Haley pursed her lips.“Let me guess…” Standing straight, her mother approached her. “You took Camille out to the shopping mall and made her make a fool of herself. Is it to throw this family into a scandal?”Haley had nothing against her family.Why would she cause a scandal?No doubt, her parents saw the footage circulating around.Haley was in the scene as Vera and Camille exchanged words.“Mum-”“Huh?” Her mother interrupted her, putting on a confused look. “What did you just call me?”Her father looked confused as well. “I think sh
