Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 29. Skin Her Alive
…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. The work hours were almost over. Did Liam not see the conference on the news? “Is he perhaps intimidated?” Her bro
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? Liam hadn't come out yet, and it'd be trouble if she went there to take permission, and also land eyes on him. So Haley grabbed her han
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. Pushed into a tight spot by Vera who couldn't control her mouth, would Leah be able to save her head? “Uhm, actually…” Lips trembling, Leah trailed off. But then hard footste
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 33. Immune To His Coldness
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
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 34. Missing
…At DG Jewelry Corp, the next day. Stepping into the company, Liam accessed the hundreds of cubicles spread over the large area that belonged to the employees. Each employee was dressed smartly, eyes pinned on their computers' screen, working smartly and diligently. Shoving both hands inside his pocket, Liam nodded shortly in approval. Not bad. This company didn't need as much restructuring as he'd anticipated. He would have no difficulty in running things here. Although he didn't want all this. And where was that crazy girl? “Sir, I can't wait to witness your battle with any man that dares to chase the Madam,” Joye sputtered on, holding his briefcase and hurrying to catch up with Liam's long strides. “If you follow my new advice, Madam will never think of letting you down again.”Joye's new advice made some sense, Liam had to agree. But Haley was getting more stubborn day by day. Would it be an easy task to carry out that plan without any challenges from her?He never expe
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 35. Beg Her
…Haley's eyelids fluttered, and gradually, the darkness turned into a blurry white. Squinting her eyes, she moved her limbs, struggling to sit up. Why did her body feel sore?What was she doing in this kind of place? Apart from the tiny cracks on the walls letting in streams of light, everywhere was dark. Her head throbbed slightly with pain, and Haley supported it with both hands, letting her mind wander to last night. Damn! She'd been kidnapped. Where was she? Alarmed, Haley scurried off the floor, her eyes darting in fear across the wide room. Packed boxes sat in a corner and a lot of dusty household stuff. Haley ransacked one of the boxes, coughing rapidly as dust flew in the air. Kneeling beside the boxes, she fished out a small device that looked more like a toy handset. Haley fished out other materials including some shoes and dresses. The room was all walls and no doors. There wasn't a single window either. How was she gonna get out?Who brought her here? Haley
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 36. Feeling Uneasy
Vera released Haley.Throwing her head back, the woman laughed so hard, her menacing voice shaking the walls. The bodyguard laughed along, holding his stomach and pointing at Haley. “Did you hear her, Gary? Haley wants me to beg her on my knees,” Vera said mockingly, imitating a child's voice. Then she sighed. “So the rumors are true that the stupid wife of my son has developed mental problems.” “Tsk tsk tsk.” Vera clicked her tongue, shaking her head. “If you succeed in making me kneel for you one day, Haley, I might as well kill myself.”“Is that so?” Haley raised an amused brow. “Vera Nash, never forget your promise.”Vera waved a dismissive hand and rolled her eyes. “I won't waste my time on a crazy girl like you. Only give her food once a day, Gary. Haley will remain locked up in this basement until she learns her lesson and apologizes to me.”“For your own good, apologize now, Young Miss,” the bodyguard said to Haley. “You guys might as well keep on dreaming,” Haley snicker
