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
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 144. Arrest Her!
Both Leah and Vera did not see the slap coming.Neither did Haley.She expected her mother to take any action but slapping the girl out of the blue.But wasn't that the best way to deal with her?Even Haley felt disgusted whenever Liam brought up the topic that she and Andrew were hooking up.Of course, her mother would feel enraged.Haley just hoped-No, she prayed…She prayed her mother didn't give her real identity out.It wasn't like she cared much about the Nash Family knowing her true identity, she was only worried it would lead to her parents discovering that Liam was her ex-husband.“M-Mrs. Woods, what did I do wrong?” Leah cried, holding her swollen cheek. “I only told you the truth-”“Repeat that nonsense and I'll make sure you end up in jail!” Hannah shut her up. “Are we on the same level that you'll speak anyhow?”“That's enough, Hannah!” Vera shielded Leah behind her. “Stop bullying my daughter-in-law! You should be ashamed!”A look of realization flashed in Hannah's eyes
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 145. The Evidence
Desmond Nash!That evil man was here!As Liam's father stomped in their direction with three cops behind him, Haley rose to her feet.Always running to defend his wife, she wasn't surprised that Desmond would come for her.What surprised Haley was the fact that he came so early.How fast!It hadn't even been twenty minutes yet since it happened.Had Desmond been lurking around the hospital premises?Or did he race down here the moment he heard the news?“She's that crazy girl who broke my wife's leg!” Desmond stopped in front of her with the police, pointing a trembling finger forward. “Arrest her!”“Yes, Mr. Nash!”The cops nodded to Desmond's order.Advancing forward, they tried to seize Haley before she could react.Andrew quickly got in between them. “What's the meaning of this? Haley would never do that.”Here was her brother defending her.A while ago, Haley was almost convinced he believed the rumors.She thought it was the reason why he was mad at her.But the hopping mad man
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 146. Colluding with The Family's Enemies
Urgh!What now?Shutting her eyes, Haley clenched her fists, frustrated.Liam was back again.This stupid man would never take the hint, would he?Why the hell did he come back?Haley turned around, facing him. Folding her hands, she put on an indifferent smile. “Mr. Nash, do we know each other?”Liam frowned.Confusion swirling in his eyes, he addressed her seriously. “What are you saying?”The obvious.Haley was fed up with this hide and seek seriously.Liam never appeared unless she was in the presence of her parents.What was his mission?It shouldn't be that Liam already knew, right?And if he hadn't known, there was a high risk that Liam could reveal their relationship.With his constant appearance, it was only a matter of time before her parents sensed something was wrong.Fortunately, Andrew also understood the implications it would bring, having their parents know her relationship with Liam.So he butted in. “Jumping into other people's conversation is an act of a coward, Wi

Haley paused, her smile faltering.No doubt, her mother already heard that Liam came a while ago.Just like Liam, her parents were getting suspicious.Damnit, William Nash!Why did he have to always implicate her? Of course, Haley wasn't colluding with the family's enemies.She shook her head to her mother's question. “I’ll never do that.”But her mother stood her ground, not giving her access to the baby.The suspicion in her eyes only ever increased, and she looked a bit mad. “I know when you're lying. Better say the truth!”What other truth was there apart from the fact that she stupidly went and married Liam?It was a bitter truth that Haley never wanted to speak of.A truth that would implicate her forever.“If not, just go away.”Her mother's condition increased Haley's anxiety.It dampened her mood, leaving her feeling helpless.Leave without seeing her brother's baby?Haley had been looking forward to this moment.How could she be able to leave?But then, how could she be abl
