Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 51. Stay Away From Him
A promise?What promise? Haley glanced at him, taking in his serious expression. She couldn't recall making him any promises.Ah, did he mean repaying him for saving her from the basement? Maybe Daryl expected her to return the favor which was normal.But Daryl didn't ask for anything in return, and she couldn't remember making any promises to him.Well, it was only right that she returned his kind gesture. “I'll treat you to dinner, what do you think?” She asked. Daryl didn't nod or reply, a faint smile forming on his face. Weird! Was that not what he expected to hear? “You weren't referring to the basement, were you?” “Forget it.” He shook his head, laughing softly. But Haley only found his behavior strange. If he wasn't referring to saving her from the basement, what other favor had he done her?Was it about driving her home last night or this food she was eating?“What do we have here?” He changed the topic, taking the tablet from her hand and checking out her draft. “Y

What now?Why should Haley stay away from his brother?Staring into Liam's eyes, was that jealousy she saw? Haley snickered, arching a brow. “Don't you trust your own brother?”“It's you I don't trust!”Oh!Haley was supposed to have gotten used to his poisonous remarks, yet, they never ceased to hit the right spot. Bottling in her anger, and gripping the tablet hard so her fists wouldn't accidentally fly to his bandaged forehead, Haley took in a deep breath and smiled sweetly. “Mr. Nash, did you know poking your nose in someone's business is the number one crime of the century?”“You’re my wife. I won't let you bring down my reputation under my watch!”More like trampling upon his pride. Seriously, Haley couldn't understand the man.Who knew the man she married would turn out this troublesome?“As you can see, I'm busy.” She lifted her tablet. “Go look for someone else to fight with, Mr. Nash.”Liam scoffed. “Did you think I have nothing to do? I wouldn't even look for you if it'
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 53. Working Miracles
~Divorce!Didn't she have any other thing to say?Seriously, Liam was fed up. He'd had enough of her mentioning divorce all the time. But she would soon return to her senses. Once she fell into his trap and he taught her a lesson, she'd stop mentioning divorce and things would go back to normal. As her figure disappeared from the rooftop, he unclenched his fists.In no time, Haley would admit that she couldn't do the assignment. Then he would catch her red-handed and finally teach her a lesson! Minutes later, Liam was still standing in the same spot, his stare fixed on the direction she took. Joye appeared, scratching the back of his neck, his eyes full of confusion. “Sir, I just bumped into Madam. She appeared mad though.”“Are you two fighting, Sir?” Joye went on. “Why was the Madam in a bad mood?”“None of your business.” Liam broke out of his trance, shoving both hands into his pants pockets. “Have you sent Leah home?”“Erm, yes.” Joye nodded.The assistant cleared his thr

Liam couldn't believe his ears. Haley said that? Was his assistant telling the truth? Well, what would Joye gain out of lying? ‘He could go to hell!’That woman was getting out of hand. Haley was irritating him on purpose. What did he need to do to make her stop this foolishness?“Erm, Sir. It's normal.” Joye smiled nervously. “Relationships are not always a smooth road. Maybe there's something Madam wants that you haven't given her yet.”Causing her tantrums?What else did Haley need from him?Liam had lifted that rule about being intimate only once a month. He'd promised her to return home often,Yet, she wasn't affected. What other thing did Haley want from him?Liam sank into a deep thought, searching his memory.Throughout their three years of marriage, she'd never requested anything… except that night.Haley wanted a child with him.Was that the cause of her hate because he couldn't give her what she wanted? Thinking too much had Liam's headache intensifying. Joye coughed
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 55. Following Her
…Resting her head on the seat's headrest, Haley shut her eyes, exhaling deeply. She didn't even work hard today, why was she so tired? But then, Liam's pestering was enough to exhaust her mentally. Her mind wandered to his assistant's visit to her cubicle earlier and the words he said. What did that man take her for?Ha! She'd really outdid herself in the past to please him.Did he think he could trick her into his office by faking illness? If Liam was truly ill, he wouldn't have come to the company. Letting go of thoughts about Liam, Haley brought that document out of her bag.She checked out the instructions and information regarding the bride's fashion preferences and style.The design must also align with the theme of the wedding.It was meant to be a surprise for the bride so she must make it perfect. If Liam truly wanted to test her, he would have given her an easier job. But his goal was evident. He wanted to toss her out of the company.As Haley went through the docume
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 56. Why He Came Back
…The Next Morning.Liam woke up with a splitting headache. It was as if someone was hammering his head and his whole body. Every spot in his body was sore, and his bone cracked when he tried to sit up.What happened? “Lana!!!” He yelled out the maid's name, struggling to open his eyes. Where was that lazy girl?“Lana!!!” Liam yelled out again. No response.“Mr. Nash, please be careful. Moving rapidly can cause you another concussion.” A foreign voice snapped him awake.Liam opened his eyes to the blurred vision of a wide hospital room.The nurse stood beside him, disconnecting an IV Drip from his arm.How did he end up in a hospital? Why couldn't he recall anything? “Ah, Mr. Nash, you're finally awake, Sir!” His assistant barged into the ward, holding a fruit bag. “You can't believe how relieved I am... Narrow escape,” Joye went on, his delighted expression confusing Liam. “If the heavens hadn't blessed you last night-”“What's going on?” Liam interrupted,For the more Joye sp

…At DG Jewelry Corp.Sitting inside her cubicle, Haley's eyes were glued to the tablet in her hands, yet, her mind was somewhere else.She couldn't help but glance at her wristwatch now and then.Strange! Since the work hours started and now that it was past noon, that man had not disturbed her. Shouldn't she be relieved?Returning her attention to work, Haley picked up the tablet's pen and started working on the first draft of the design.She'd only drawn a few lines however when her mind subconsciously drifted to Liam again. Did he quit so soon? That was impossible. Maybe he was busy at the other company. “Hey, Haley.” Someone stopped in front of her desk. Looking up, Haley had the urge to groan. “Hi, Amby.”“What are you doing?” Amby checked out the tablet from her hands. “Working on a new project?”“Yeah.” Haley nodded. And she could do with some peace. Maybe she should go to the rooftop. “Let me see.” Amby suddenly snatched the tablet, her face turning green as she acce

The shocking news about Liam's accident had thrown Haley into a trance. Lost in a daze, she didn't even know when Daryl took her inside the car. “Act normal. Grandma's here,” Daryl whispered in her ear. Huh?Grandma? Haley snapped to the present, her eyes falling on the old woman sitting beside her. “Haley dear, aren't you supposed to be in the hospital with Willy?” Grandma Lily asked. Daryl cleared his throat. “Oh, she came here to collect something from a friend and asked if we could pick her up.”As if he could read Haley's mind, he cooked up a perfect lie. Why didn't he tell her before that Grandma was also here? How would Grandma Lily react when she discovered Haley was now working?Was Liam's accident as severe as Daryl put it?Even Grandma Lily was out to visit him. “Might as well speak now…” Daryl nudged her slightly. “Grandma will listen to you.”Haley blinked, staring into space.Were they going to the hospital now, like right now?
