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
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 37. A Fruitless Search
Instinctively, his leg pressed onto the brakes and the car came to a screeching halt. Liam had to remove the phone from his ear, giving the contact a once over. The one who'd been missing? His brother? “Are you sure he's the one?” “My boys never lie, Mr. Nash,” answered the other person. “I've sent the photo to your phone.”A photo? Hope mixed with confusion prompted Liam to check into his message media, not minding to hang up the phone. He clicked on the photo. It's him. It was his brother. Memories rushed back instantly, at the sight of that familiar figure striding out of the airport. A duffle bag hung over his shoulder, and the other hand was held out as if trying to stop a taxi. It was the same guy who went missing five years ago. Although dressed in flashy clothes, a yellow T-shirt with red sunglasses, Liam would never mistake those features that greatly resembled his. Time sure flew like the wind. Was this even real? They'd literally turned the whole nation upsi
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 38. Ignore The Search
The basement had been Daryl's favorite hiding spot. He'd spend the whole day there sometimes without anyone noticing, until whenever he decided to come out. “Ah! The basement! You're right, Young Master!” The servant exclaimed. But on Liam's mother's face was an alarmed look. “No one has visited that basement for years! How can a human being be hiding there?”“B-But, Madam, we've searched everywhere else except-”“Shut up!” Vera cut the young maid off with a resounding slap. Her action was too sudden, jolting everyone including Liam. “You! Vera, why are you being harsh? Why can't you show mercy to the servants?” Grandma Lily stared at her in displeasure. “Can't you see she's disrespectful, Mother? How dare she speak when I was speaking?”The young maid only said a simple sentence that everyone here could say. Liam frowned. “That’s wrong, Mum.”“You. You're also backing her up!” Vera blinked her teary eyes. “Why does everyone hate me in this house? I thought I have the right to
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 39. Ending Her Stay
The air froze, and a deafening silence descended.Liam stilled in his spot, his gaze fixed on his brother,And the girl that was with him. Haley?Not only did she look haggard and dusty, she also appeared weak, leaning against his brother for support.“Ahhhhh!” A high-pitched scream pierced through the atmosphere.The scream came from no one but the woman who was now trembling in Liam's arms. His mother literally jumped to her feet. Hadn't she been unconscious? But no one paid her attention as they all gathered around Daryl. “No way, it's the second young master!”“Oh, my gosh! He's back!”“The second young master is alive!”“How unbelievable!”The servants jumped excitedly, clapping and smiling. While Grandma Lily shed more tears. “My dear grandson, where did you go? How did you come back? I… I was very worried. Were you kidnapped, dear?”But five years ago, the family not only searched everywhere… they'd also had every gang member investigated.No one admitted to kidnapping Da
