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
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 62. A Backup
…At Another End of The City,Haley sat in the backseat of a car, pressed on both sides by two huge bodyguards. If she hadn't recognized them as bodyguards from the Nash Mansion, she'd panic.She was on her way out of the hospital premises when they forced her inside the car. 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
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 63. Testing Her Loyalty
…The Next Day.Liam rested on the hospital bed, blinking at the ceiling, one arm settled underneath his head. That crazy girl. Would she not visit him today?Didn't Joye deliver his message to her that she had to come in the morning? It was already afternoon. Haley hadn't shown up yet. Should he call the police to make her take responsibility?Why was he even bothered about Haley coming to visit him?Liam sat up, confusion swirling in his mind. Was he desperate?“Mr. Nash, you're awake.” The doctor walked in and checked out the IV Drip. “Good news. Your body's responding to treatment.”“When will I be discharged?” Liam asked. The doctor smiled, hanging yet another IV Drip on the stand and removing the finished one. He connected the drip to Liam's arm. “While we await the new x-ray results, I suggest you remain here and recuperate fully.”“An x-ray?”Hadn't they done it before Liam was even admitted to the bed and put on treatment? “Yeah. We need maximum assurance, Mr. Nash. I
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 64. Stop Meddling
“What are you talking about?” Liam's frown deepened. He had an inkling Haley might be after his money, but without concrete proof.Haley didn't spend a dime from the card he gave her. She’d also claimed that she didn't marry him because of his money. Instead of replying to his question, his mother waved her phone's screen on his face. “See for yourself. Here's the amount of money I sent into Haley's account.”As if that wasn't enough, she played a voice recording, turning on the speakers. “This is the conversation Haley had with me.”And the conversation went as followed; ‘You want me to leave him.’‘Yes.’‘Will you pay the price?’‘How much?’‘Sell your fashion boutique, the saloon, twenty percent of your shares at NK Enterprises, and the one thousand acres of land you have in the nearby province. Calculate the money and send it to my account.’The voice recording stopped playing. Liam grappled between shock and frustration, so many emotions building up in his chest. Anger, B
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 65. Poisoning Her
…At DG Jewelry Corp.“Madam, Mr. Nash might fire me! Why did you cut the call?”Joye looked as if his favorite candy had been snatched from him. Haley could almost envision a bucketful of tears pouring from his eyes. “Tsk. Next time Liam calls you, don't answer the phone in my presence,” Haley replied, unapologetic. Why did Liam ask that she was leaving the city when she was sitting right here?Would that man ever leave her in peace?“Madam, you weren't like this before. Why're you giving Boss the cold shoulder?” Joye's voice was full of worry and grief.“Is it true that you've hit your head somewhere?” He added. “Because the boss has given me a new mission to look for the best mental health doctor.”Huh?Was that what they all thought?That she was crazy? Well, Liam was the craziest scumbag who couldn't understand that her eyes were now open.Was it hard to believe that she would no longer be the same foolish girl?Didn't it bother him that she kept letting him step on her?Joye'
