Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 137. Accusing Him
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. Ma'am Leah fired me,” Lana explained.Liam's dark expression didn't waver.As i
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 140. Faking Illness
Of course, they'd all be happy about her death!Haley couldn't believe Vera once tried to poison her, although she wouldn't put it past the woman.It's no wonder she once came down with a severe stomach ache that was almost incurable.So Vera wanted to kill her but didn't succeed.Looking extremely shocked, Vera and Leah just watched Haley with eyes and mouths wide open.Completely speechless, they didn't speak for a few seconds.Then Leah shot to her feet, screaming, “Ahhhhh! 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
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 141. In Danger!
Desmond Nash?Wasn't it Liam who sent men to kill her?At her brother's words, Haley was confused. How did he get to know about it?Who told him it was Liam's father?If the gang leader's address of Liam as Mr. Nash was ambiguous, what about Leah whom she caught reporting the same thing to Liam's mother?Holding her shoulders, Andrew checked her out from head to toe.He didn't allow Haley to ask or clear her confusion as he went on hastily. “Sustained any injuries?”Haley shook her head. Seeing her brother in this state, she couldn't possibly tell him that she'd strained her ankle while running. She couldn't also tell him about her encounter with the gun.It was a dangerous risk which Haley took.One she'd never even dreamt about!Well, if she hadn't fired the gun randomly while the gang members advanced at her, her name would be history by now.It was those rapid gunshots that got the Cops’ attention, leading them to track her down.The gang members had their own guns but they wer
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 142. Died In A Car Crash
…Pacing back and forth in the hallway of the labor room, Haley chewed at her fingernails anxiously.Seconds, minutes, and hours passed by. It had been more than five hours since they'd been waiting.Haley's legs were aching from pacing for too long.Her waist was aching for sitting too long.Strangely, the doctors wouldn't allow anyone inside.Not even Andrew who was Camille's husband.The only sound they could hear was muffled screams from the inside.Sometimes, Camille would go completely silent.Then she'd let out a piercing scream in the next few minutes, leaving them on tenterhooks.Had the doctor's predictions come true?Camille was having complications at birth!It meant their lie was no longer a lie anymore.Would it have been avoided if they hadn't spoken about her near murder in Camille's presence?Wiping her face, Haley groaned inside.She couldn't fight the guilt in her which only ever expanded.Her eyes traveled to her brother.Andrew was now sitting on the waiting chai
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 143. Insecure
Oh, goodness!!!Shutting her eyes, Haley cursed inside.That was Liam's voice, right?Did that stupid man follow her here?No!Liam couldn't be here.Not when he was capable of digging more holes for her.His question was directed at her mother who made the last statement.At Liam's sudden appearance, her parents didn't hide their shock.In fact, the middle-aged couple looked confused, exchanging glances.Then her mother's expression slowly turned red with anger. The woman gave him a glare. “It's none of your business, William Nash-”“Well, it is!” Liam glared back.Before the verbal exchange could proceed and expose her, Haley quickly grabbed his hand.Her heart racing frantically, she hurried down the hallway, pulling Liam along.Behind them, she could feel her parents' confused gazes.And beside her, she could feel Liam's piercing gaze as well, addressing her with confusion.Damnit!This man!Haley struggled to compose herself, trying to act normal.That was too close!What if she
