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.

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
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 57. Fulfill Her Promise
…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
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 58. Too Late to Make An Excuse
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? Was she prepared?“Haley.” Daryl
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 59. Acting Like A Baby
“Uhm, Will. Once you finish this apple, don't forget to take more, okay? I'll bring more fruits later, they'll boost your immune system.” Her silky voice, soft and smooth, floated in the room. As if pretending to not notice the other people inside the room, Leah shifted closer to the man, offering him the apple. “Ahem! What a sight!” Daryl chortled. “Grandma, I didn't know you'd adopted another daughter. No wonder Big Bro no longer pays attention to me!”“This one's not adopted! She's not even a family member!” Grandma Lily grumbled. “What is an outsider doing in this place!?”Leah flinched, shifting away from Liam. Her fingers shook as she dropped the apple and knife on a tray. “She's my secretary, Grandma,” Liam replied in a tired voice. “Is she supposed to be here? Isn't she the same girl that likes to visit Vera?”“Grandma-”“Young Lady, you can get out. I'll have a family discussion with my grandchildren and granddaughter-in-law.”“Oh…” Leah got down from the bed, her body tr
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 60. Planning To Kill Him
Spreading both arms wide, Leah planted her feet on the ground, her furious eyes staring daggers at her. Haley had to give the girl a once-over. She didn't need to guess why Leah was this furious. From the jealousy and murderous look in her eyes, she looked as if she'd grab a knife and stab her. Folding her hands, Haley pressed her lips together, maintaining a straight face. It wasn't worth laughing at Leah's pathetic state anyway. “Where does it seem like I'm going?” She faked a yawn. “To our dear Willy of course-”“You wish!” Leah spat out. “Take another step and I'll make sure you regret it!”“By faking to be fragile and pitiful to earn Liam's sympathy?” Haley smiled. “What else can you do aside from that?”“So what?” Leah crossed her arms. “Don't underestimate what I can do. Not only Liam, I can turn the whole world against you if I wish! And you'll have no escape!”“Kindly take my advice and leave…” She added. “You’re a barren woman, yet you cling onto Liam for his wealth.”
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 61. Stop Visiting Him
~Liam came out of his ward, frowning at first. Then he assessed the situation.While Haley knelt on the floor, her hair was locked in his mother's fingers. The woman let go of her instantly and she got to her feet, massaging her scalp. Was his mother bullying her again?Hadn't he sent her away because she wouldn't stop badmouthing his brother?Why did she come back?“Son- Son!” Vera scurried up to him, face pale and eyes wide. “Haley’s talking back again. Can you believe this barren woman who can't give me a grandchild had the guts to insult me?”So his mother would never change.Hadn't he warned her already?“Will, I'm afraid for your mother.” Leah let out a sigh. “Because of Haley, she's developing high blood pressure. You know someone like her can't tolerate insults.”“Uhm, before I forget.” Leah changed the topic. “Grandma asked me to apply this balm on you.”Liam's gaze strayed to the tiny bottle in her hand. It looked similar to the type of balm Haley would apply on his sti

Was it Vera again?Because this looked more like a kidnap. The bodyguards didn't speak a word to her. The car wasn't heading to the family mansion either. It seemed to be heading out of the city. After a long silent ride, the car came to a stop. The bodyguards didn't care about blindfolding her, and they led her into an empty dilapidated warehouse.Haley waited on a chair calmly, tapping her feet on the ground. One of the bodyguards asked, “Do you need water?”“No, thanks.”“How about food, Young Miss.”Haley sighed. Why did they appear to be currying favor with her?“Just so you know, it's not our intention. You won't tell the Young Master about this, right?”It depended on what they were up to. But Haley
