Testing him?A test?What was his grandmother saying?What kind of a test?Grandma Lily ordered him to divorce Haley and marry Leah.Did she not mean it?“Grandma, I don't understand…” His voice strangely came out hoarse and helpless. “What test?”Grandma Lily sat up, leaning her back against the bed's headboard.She held her chest, crying bitterly. “Indeed, it was a test, Grandson. I didn't mean to abandon Haley- I- I just wanted to know if you truly love her.”So that was the reason.Stunned, Liam spaced out.So his grandmother's reason was to test if he loved Haley.To see if he would divorce her or not.“I didn't mean to hurt her, Willy. I wanted you to suffer a little for bullying my Haley!”Liam sighed.Now it all made sense.He knew his grandmother.She wouldn't suddenly start hating Haley out of nowhere.Grandma Lily loved Haley more than even her own children.There's no way she'd push Haley away without a reason.“But it's too late-” Grandma Lily lamented. “Too late, Grandso
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 136. His Regret!
His father stood stunned, a momentary look of shock flashing in his eyes.Glancing between Liam and his hands gripping his collar, Desmond's mouth hung open. He shouted. “What is the meaning of this!? What are you talking about!?”“Killing Haley!” Liam glared at him, fighting the urge to strangle the man.Coming face to face with his father only increased the murderous instinct in him.He couldn't believe this was his father.He couldn't believe Desmond was the same person who gave birth to him.No sane person would commit such atrocities and be jumping around happily. But his father neither appeared regretful nor apologetic. In fact, he pushed Liam's hands away, spatting out, “So what!?”“That stupid girl is a nobody!” Desmond continued. “She’s a good riddance and you're supposed to be happy!”Happy that he killed her?Liam cursed under his breath.His fists shook and he fought the urge to throw them forward.Even if Haley was a nobody, her life was as precious as anyone else's.S

Liam shot to his feet, his heart skipping before it resumed racing at a rapid pace.Was he imagining things?Haley stood in front of him in all her glory.Wasn't she the same girl declared dead? It might be her ghost who had come back to haunt him.No!He needed to confirm.Leaving his chair, Liam approached where she stood. She glared hard at him, her cold look sending unease tremors down his nerves.Summoning courage, Liam reached forward with his hand to touch her, then-“PAK!”The hard slap that landed on his face was unexpected.Liam was stunned for a few seconds, blinking at the girl standing in front of him.He needed not to confirm again.Haley was real.How?When?Didn't his father's men kill her?Had Desmond been lying?Most importantly, why did she seem mad at him?“What the hell did I do wrong, William Nash!” She didn't just stop at slapping him, but also grabbed his collars, the fury in her eyes dancing like a storm. “Locking me up wasn't enough! You had the guts to try
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 138. An Emergency
…Haley sat in her cubicle, her blood boiling.Her mind told her to go back to that office and ruffle that man up!A slap and a threat shouldn't be enough to deal with someone who tried to murder her.She should have taken him straight to jail!But Haley had no evidence!Those boys refused to confess anything despite being tortured by the cops.They all claimed that they just wanted to kidnap her.If the cops hadn't driven past coincidentally in that area, Haley would be dead meat by now.That evil man, William Nash!If it wasn't him who sent them, why would the gang leader call him and tell him ‘Mission accomplished?’Among all people Haley interacted with, wasn't Liam the only person who hated her the most?Because of Vera's conflict with Camille, he locked her up.Not satisfied, he decided to just get rid of her!“Tsk, she's back.”The employees whispered among themselves.“What’s she still doing in this company?”“Didn't Mr. Nash promise to fire her the day she burnt Mrs. Nash's l
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 139. Missed Her
Haley frowned a bit.Camille wanted to see her?Did any issues come up in her absence?Everything was supposed to be alright by now since her parents weren't blaming Camille anymore.“Madam, we have to hurry!” Lana grabbed Haley's hand, jolting her out of her thoughts. The maid looked as if she'd take Haley and fly out of this place.Hopefully, it wasn't an enormous issue.Nothing was supposed to go wrong after Haley's plan of hospitalizing Camille.Haley wanted to follow Lana out of the place…But then, Liam's voice stopped them. “What are you doing here, Lana?”“Ah, Mr. Nash!” Lana exclaimed. She seemed to have just noticed him. The maid looked paler than before and her body began trembling. “W-Why- Why're you here, Mr. Nash?”But Liam didn't answer her question.Frowning, he threw her a hard glare, a look of displeasure flashing in his eyes. “Who permitted you to leave?”“It's not my fault, Mr. Nash.

A ghost!”While Vera scrambled off the bed.The woman fell on the floor before springing to her feet. How fast and agile.How could a wounded person be so swift? “H-Haley-” Pointing a trembling finger forward, Vera shouted. “W-Weren’t you dead?”“Weren't you sick, Vera?” Haley answered with her own question.Sizing the woman up, it appeared Vera was just pretending.If Vera was as sick as she looked, she wouldn't have been able to even leave the bed.Laughing softly, Haley studied their reactions.Leah tremble
