The scandal was supposed to have a toll on DG Group's reputation, why weren't they making any moves yet?“Please exercise a little bit of patience, Sir.

Liam returned to his senses.

Liam was mad at himself.What had he done?How could she be pregnant?“Are you off to somewhere, Sir?” Joye asked, looking ready to follow him out of the office. “How about going to DG Jewelry Corp and taking over so you can be with Madam?” He suggested, his face

…At DG Jewelry Corp.Haley yawned and stretched her arms, exhausted from sorting out the stack of documents in front of her, a job reserved only for the secretary. “Thirsty?” Andrew brought her a glass of water. Pursing her lips, Haley pushed it aside. “It's not that hard to be my secretary.” Andrew chuckled. “Come on, cheer up!”How was it supposed to be easy when all the paperwork would now be Haley's responsibility to handle? She stared at her brother incredulously. “I know you're secretly punishing me for running from home.”“Nah! Haven't I forgiven you already?” Planting one hand on the desk, he leaned forward and ruffled her hair with the other hand. “I can keep a close watch on you and protect you from people like William Nash now that you're my secretary.”“Speak about that scumbag, why hasn't he showed up?” Andrew pondered.Haley glanced at her wristwatch.

Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 30. Spreading Rumors
“Skin Haley alive, and your head will roll, William Nash!” Before Haley could react to Liam's statement, her brother came inside. Obviously eavesdropping at the door, he'd heard every menacing word coming from Liam. “Stay out of this!” Liam warned, turning around. “Or else, you'll get an additional sue for courting a married woman!”“Bring it on,” Andrew replied, scoffing at his words. “But then be ready to have it published all over the media that you had an affair with your secretary and made her pregnant.”Her brother's words hit the right spot as Liam's anger turned to disbelief, and then rage took over. “Your threat won't work on me. If you have any evidence, then do it!”“So be it.” Andrew reached for his pocket and brought out his phone. He was ready to make a phone call when Liam snatched it away. He was intimidated after all. “Give it back!” Her brother demanded. But instead of giving back the phone, Liam crushed it. “Damnit!” Andrew cursed loudly and threw a fisted ha
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 31. His Gift
A necklace?Did Grandma Lily mean “Treasure?”Haley paused, her brows knitting into a deep frown of confusion. How did it go missing? “I've not visited the mansion again since that day, Grandma.”And even if Haley did, how could she take that necklace without Grandma Lily's permission although she owned it? “Is that so? It means thieves now reside in my home! I have other expensive jewelry, but they decided to take only your necklace!” Grandma Lily lamented, sounding sad as well as angry. Haley couldn't stomach this news. Why would her necklace suddenly go missing among the sea of jewelry Grandma Lily owned? It didn't add up. “I’m coming right away, Grandma.” Haley stared at the time. There were thirty minutes left before the work hours were officially over. She couldn't wait though. Was her brother still bantering with Liam in his office?

Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 32. The Wrong Necklace
Obviously blinded by rage, Vera let her mouth loose without considering first where she was standing. As she finished speaking, she gasped and covered her mouth. But her words had already caught Grandma Lily's attention. The Old Woman all but stood up from the couch with Haley's support, her peering eyes boring through Vera as she approached her. “Can you repeat that, Vera? Do you mean Willy bought a necklace for another girl?”Vera stammered, “No- No, you heard me wrong, Mother. I- I wanted to say something else-”And she accidentally spilled a secret. “Wait… does that necklace belong to you or Haley?” Desmond was equally puzzled, directing his question at Leah. With each second that passed by, Leah's face turned paler and paler. She lowered her head, avoiding everyone's gaze, especially Grandma Lily's.

Under the astonished gazes, the Stewardess entered with “Treasure” and handed it to Grandma Lily. “Oh, you're a sweetheart, Mary. How did you find it?” Grandma Lily beamed, her fingers grazing the smooth edges of the necklace. “It was sitting inside the Young Master's car,” The Stewardess replied. Many gasps sounded in the room, especially from the maids who were eavesdropping from outside. Grandma Lily paused, her face holding a big frown. “You found it in Willy's car?”“That's correct.” The middle-aged woman affirmed, probably unaware of the multiplied tension, her smile getting bigger. Haley couldn't help but revel in the bitter expression on Liam's face. Now thinking about it, Liam was among the three people who could access Grandma Lily's jewelry chest. How did he know that she gave “Treasure” to Grandma for keeping?“What took you to my car, Mary?” Liam gritted out in an effort to sound normal.“I was passing by your car when my eyes saw something shiny through the car's
