Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 190. What Changed His Mind
…Clink. Clink. Clink.The atmosphere inside the dining room was stale, the tension foreboding. Curling her toes and feigning calmness, Haley lowered her head to focus on her food.Starkly aware of the two intense gazes on her, however, her appetite was nowhere to be found.She just wanted to get out of here.Even better, she wanted them to say something.Or even scold her.Yet, her parents only watched her…Until her mother decided to break the silence. “To what do we owe this honor?” Haley gulped. Yeah… it was indeed an honor that she finally decided to join them for breakfast. “Haley Woods, hope I'm not seeing wrong.” Her father cleared his throat. Haley didn't dare look up.Not because she was afraid to.But because she was afraid she might spill something that she'd regret later. To say she was mad at her parents was an understatement.The couple who wanted to force her into an arranged marriage despite knowing she didn't want it.An awkward silence hung in the atmosphere
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 191. Join The Celebrations
Harry appeared normal, but there may be a defect in his brain. Was that reason sound enough?Because Daryl's action hurt his pride, he wanted to teach him a lesson through her. How ridiculous! “Hey, don't start thinking bad of me…” Smiling, he shifted close to her. Haley shifted away, throwing him a warning glare. Think bad of him?She thought the worse of him. A normal grown-up adult wouldn't play such a silly trick.“It's childish, you know…”“I know…” He agreed, not looking a bit apologetic. “But somebody needs to know that messing with a Lawson means battle.”Urgh!What was with these families thinking so highly of themselves.Sometimes, Haley would wish she was never born into any of these socialites families.They appeared to be more civiliazed but were actually bunch of arrogant folks who loved holding grudges.For goodness sake, since when did swallowing insults become a crime?“To top it all, I like you, Haley…” Harry went on. “Considering the benefits we'll bring to ea

…His mind must be tricking him.That voice…Her face.Why did she act as if she didn't recognize him?Was it even her?Wasn't it somebody else?Well, her surname… her eyes…Leah shared a great resemblance with Lisa,However, Lisa was different.Liam mustn't be mistaken.That was definitely her. But, Dr. Lawson…Since when did she become a Doctor? Sitting on the couch inside the hospital’s VIP room, Liam was so engrossed in his thoughts.His phone had been ringing beside him, but he failed to notice,Until the nurse brought his attention to it. He didn't even know when the nurse entered.“Mr. Nash, I hope everything is okay,” the nurse asked, concern etched on her expression. “As you can see, Mrs. Nash is responding rapidly to treatment. Her life is out of danger, she might even wake up today.”Liam was no longer worried about his mother's well-being.Her heartbeat was now stable and the nurse was right. She was responding to treatment. Three days had passed already.Three days ev

Lisa. That was definitely her voice. Liam's hand halted mid-air, the thought of knocking fleeting his mind. Listening to those two voices, their words echoed in his mind. “Raymond, you know that's not what I'm talking about.” Lisa's voice, calm and collected could hardly be heard.However, the man sounded angry. “Whatever it is has something to do with William Nash. Quit it, Lisa.”Liam walked away.He no longer needed to investigate why Lisa didn't want to see him. He'd been suspicious but his assumption turned out to be correct. She'd been avoiding him intentionally.Her conversation with that man…Dr. Jeff. Were they engaged?He did mention something about a wedding, right? What a revelation!On his way back to the VIP Ward, Liam's phone rang again. He didn't need to glance at the screen to know who was calling. After all, he hadn't finished speaking with his assistant yet when he noticed the sneaky nurse. He brought out the phone from his pocket and answered it.Expect
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 194. His Old Flame
…At The Woods Mansion. Haley found herself on the balcony again, her unwavering gaze fixed on the same spot. Suddenly, it was daylight. That black car stood there, shimmering under the sunlight.Then it zoomed off-Damn! What was wrong with her? Slapping her forehead, Haley pulled her mind off the imagination.If only it had been just an imagination.Something told her that the car belonged to Liam. Her mind was a hundred percent sure it was him. The cold night wind swept past, sending goosebumps across her skin. Hugging herself, Haley shuddered slightly. She was supposed to be in bed, curled under the blankets.What was she doing standing here, staring at the starless sky?Or maybe she wasn't just out to watch the stars.He might come… Urgh! One week!One week was too short to execute her plans. She'd have to have an extra backup to escape her parents’ trap.Harry's trap.If they'd prolonged the wedding a bit, she'd be more prepared.But one week…Running away was no long
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 195. Why She Left
…The Next Day. Liam couldn't wait for the dawn to break. The sky was still dark, the chilly morning air clouding the atmosphere. At this time, there weren't many cars on the road yet,But,He couldn't wait. He couldn't wait to have his questions answered.Last night had been one of the hardest. He didn't catch a wink, anticipating the morning to come. Where to go first?The hospital or her home? There was a high chance that his mother's life could be in danger. Liam couldn't leave her by herself in the hospital.And yet, he couldn't ignore what he heard last night. He had to reconfirm.After a few seconds of contemplating, he took the route that led to the city's outskirts, driving into a neighborhood that housed many residential buildings. Funny how he was driving down this area again. He'd frequented it in the past and it almost became a second home.But it had been five years since he came here last. Nothing had changed. Not even the buildings structure. Slowly, that
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 196. Destined For Each Other
…Photos.More pictures from that annoying guy.Or Haley would rather call it evidence. Throughout last night, she didn't blink even for a second.At dawn, the little amount of sleep she was able to get was harshly interrupted by his phone calls.It turned out Harry had more evidence to show her.More photos of Liam and Lisa. Last night's evidence was from the hospital’s parking lot where Liam was fighting with a man and later on drove Lisa away in his car. And today's evidence was of Liam and Lisa sitting inside his car. Haley chuckled. Scrolling down the photos, she shook her head and sat down.Was she supposed to be saddened or cry over the fact that Lisa was around and Liam had reunited with her?Was she supposed to feel jealous?From the start, she'd known Liam was never going to be hers.She didn't come to terms with it until recently when she decided to let him go.So Lisa's appearance again shouldn't disturb her. It was either Lisa or Leah. She was never an option.Hale
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 197. Under The Rubble
…Liam could think of no suspect at the moment no matter how much he wracked his brain. Probably because his mother had too many enemies to start counting. Almost every lady from the socialites’ circle wasn't on good terms with her for some reason.The fact that the hospital staff who switched the results had run away wasn't helping matters.As he sat in his office, awaiting the detective’s arrival, Liam stared at his wristwatch now and then. Time was running.It was past noon and very soon it would be evening.What was Haley up to?Did Joye manage to convince her?Whether Joye was successful or not, Liam had to visit her even if it meant a war with the Woods Family members.“Sir, you're still here?” Joye barged inside. “Didn't you hear what's going on? Have you seen the news?”Liam frowned.What news?And why did Joye look as if he was being chased by fire?Fanning himself with both hands, the assistant came forward. “It's the jewelry company you collaborated with. Sir, we've enco
