Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 160. Their Plan!
…At The City's First Hospital.As Haley left the hospital with her parents, her heart raced wilder than before.Her thoughts were in jeopardy, and so was her calm and cool. Liam!She didn't hear him wrong, did she?That man didn't just apologize to her. 'I'm sorry.’That phrase echoed in Haley's mind, occupying her thoughts.Liam said he was sorry. How unbelievable. Haley must have hit her head somewhere and imagined him saying that. She was too shocked at that spot to even react. If she did, wouldn't she have made a fool out of herself?Liam didn't say that word and she'd imagined it. “What's distracting you, Haley?” Her father's voice, suspicious and confused, broke Haley out of her trance. As they stepped into the parking lot, she almost bumped into the man due to not looking ahead. Haley pulled herself together, feigning calmness. Her parents stared at her suspiciously and she breathed inside, faking a smile. “It's nothing.”After all, the couple had been giving her th

Their plan? He’d been acting all this while? Haley's relief knew no bounds, understanding the meaning behind what he said. Relaxing back on the chair, she let her eyelids close, laughing softly. “You got me there.”“I know, right?” Harry laughed as well. “My acting skill is unrivaled.”Indeed, he was. But he didn't need to be so full of himself. Shaking her head, Haley laughed again. Before she opened her eyes, Harry had resumed driving out of the parking lot. At a slow pace as if stalling time.“You haven't answered my question yet…” He broke the silence, sending her a glance. “What's next?”Their next plan?Haley furrowed her brows. If Harry was indeed acting along then their initial plan would still work. It was just that her parents taking this too seriously made her uncomfortable. What if the couple pushed them both into something they never wanted?“Let's abort it-”“Huh?” Now Harry was the one looking confused, staring at her as if she'd grown two heads.Sighing, Haley

He'd thought branching here and taking a rest in his office would release some of the pent-up frustration and anger,What he didn't expect was walking into so much work waiting for him. A knock came from the door, jolting Liam to the present, and prompting him to look up from the piles of the documents. He'd thought Joye had retired for the day already.Watching the assistant barge in with an anxious look, Liam wondered if he'd found out anything about Haley.

Not only were some people gathered, watching the scene, but there was also the restaurant's security.What the hell was going on?Liam got out of his car, accessing the scene.

~One moment, Liam was behaving as if he was turning a new leaf and willing to amend his mistakes,And the next moment, it was as if his dark personality never left him, getting worse, in fact. Haley's vision clouded with so much anger that her body began trembling. Hearing his words, her already bad mood turned worse. When her palm flew to his cheek, she couldn't control herself. The resounding sound of the hard slap echoing inside the car jolted them both back to their senses. Liam's pupils constricted, the frown of his face replaced by a look of horror and disbelief. Glaring at him, Haley's breathing was ragged from too much anger.Damnit!She wouldn't be surprised if someday his actions led to her heart attack.What kind of a stupid assumption was that? “Do you even hear yourself, William Nash?” She gritted out. “I don't like you, why would I try to make you jealous?”Because he wasn't kind to her,Anyone who showed her some kindness was intentionally courting her. He coul
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 165. Her New Man

Leah was the only girl Liam protected with his whole life. If Liam had only been acting as a cover for Desmond, it could only mean one thing…No way!Haley gasped, the phone almost slipping out of her hold.Shaking her head, she chuckled. “You're kidding.”“I know, right?” Drake replied. “Everyone would think that… But it's my job to dig into people's secrets.”And he found this!

Haley parted her lips, yet no words came out. His question taking her aback, she almost choked on the food in her mouth.Where was that coming from?Her new man?Was that what he thought of Harry?Was that why he fought the man?No way!“You haven't answered my question…” Daryl went on, his smooth tone turning serious. “Or is it a secret?”Yet, the smile never faded from his face.Suddenly feeling uncomfortable, Haley shifted on the couch. She found herself subconsciously maintaining some distance, Liam's words echoing in her mind. “Why did you ask?” Clearing her throat, she tried to sound normal. Haley avoided his eyes, in fact, to avoid him reading her discomfort.Her heartbeat had already picked up,And she could swear she was sweaty.Not Daryl!No!Haley regarded him as a brother, a best friend even.Hopefully, Liam's assumption wasn't true.Daryl might just be asking out of curiosity. The deep chortle of his voice snapped her eyes to him. Not only that, Daryl shifted close,
