Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 74. Tricked Him
…At DG Jewelry Corp, the next morning.Joye paced back and forth in front of Liam, chanting some words Liam didn't pay attention to. “With Crystal's involvement, Sir, you have nothing to worry about. She's the best in this field and has an outstanding reputation.”Liam's eyes were glued to his phone, staring at Haley's number. Why didn't she pick up his calls?Wasn't she angry for nothing?They were not getting a divorce whether she gave him the cold shoulder or not. “Sir, are you listening?” Joye stopped walking, panting to catch his breath. Liam heard everything. “Is Crystal that good?”“I've dug into the internet, Sir. Although mysterious, Crystal has a great reputation. Imagine the popularity he or she will bring to this company.”He or she? “Is it a man or a woman?”“Crystal's true gender is a topic of misconception on the internet.”Liam frowned. “Crystal.”Where had he heard that name before?“How did you know about him?” Liam asked. “Erm…” Joye scratched his head, aver
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 75. Acting Smart!
Liam froze for a minute. He hadn't seen wrong. On one of those papers, his vision had swept past something written as ‘Divorce Agreement'Or was he wrong? Would Haley be so smart?“Sir, you're spacing out.” Joye waved a hand in front of him, smiling. “Your eyes spell that you want to follow Madam.”Liam snapped to his senses. Of course, he wanted to follow Haley. But not because he missed her.He shot to his feet and stormed out of the office, loosening up his necktie as the anger suffocated him. She had the guts to trick him! Liam stepped out in time to find the elevator doors closing. There, Haley stood, hugging the documents to her chest. As he approached in large strides, her face paled with shock, her eyes bulging out. That was the look of someone guilty. Liam quickly stepped inside before the elevator doors fully closed. Luckily, there was no one else inside the elevator. “W- What do you want?” Backing away from him, Haley hid the papers behind her. Was that what sh
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 76. A Delusion
~Gazing deeply at her, his Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.Liam was giving her the same look that always sent her knees weak. Instead of pushing her away, he drew her closer, pressing her against him. This was the perfect time to snatch the papers. Liam looked intoxicated.He looked as if he would swallow her whole. Breaking out of the effect of his magnetic gaze, Haley reached for the papers.Yet, Liam seemed to still be in his senses. He dropped the papers and stepped on them. Haley wanted to squat to pick them up, but then, he snaked one hand around her waist, giving her no room to move. Staring back into his eyes was her biggest mistake. They drew her into the pool of emotions swirling in them. Haley gulped. As he pressed her against the wall, ravaging her lips, his hands all over her body, her head became muddled for a split second.No! Wanting to protest, a slight moan escaped her lips instead, letting his tongue delve deeper. This was bad. He wasn't punishing her
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 77. Speaking Gibberish
Instantly, Liam dropped her. Haley landed on the floor butt-first, and she winced in pain. Holding her aching waist, she made to stand up, her gaze snapping to the person standing in front of them. No wonder Liam dropped her quickly. The person that appeared just now was none other than Leah.Their eyes met, before Leah's gaze strayed to Haley's blouse. In a split second, many emotions flashed in her eyes, then she quickly masked them with a gentle smile. Leah, acting as if she hadn't noticed Haley in the first place, turned to Liam. “Will, are you busy?” “No. Why did you come?” Liam adjusted his necktie, the subtle embarrassment on his face not missing Haley's scrutiny. “Uhm, I'm here to submit an important report from NK Enterprise,” Leah said softly. Lowering her head, she blushed and caressed her stomach. “I also have a feeling the baby misses you. My stomach keeps aching.”“Really?”As they conversed, Haley looked between them.What was she still doing here?Yuck! She c
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 78. His Real Wife
“You're bullying Mrs. Nash again.”“Will you ever learn your lesson?”“Why are you so cruel, Haley?”Behind Haley were three female employees, with Amby standing in front. Hands folded, Amby gave Haley a look of disbelief and her lips twitched disdainfully. “Are you alright, Mrs. Nash?” Stepping forward, Amby helped Leah up from the floor. “Oh, thank you, but I'm not.” Leah stood up, holding her stomach and wincing in pain. Leah's acting bored Haley. As the two other employees hovered around her, worried and frantic, she clutched her abdomen as if in labor. “Can someone please take me out of here?” Tears rolled down Leah's face, her voice weak and hoarse. “I- I can't walk.”“Mrs. Nash, we'll help you.”“Are you heading to the CEO's office?”“No, take me down.”The employees obliged and took Leah into the elevator, both throwing angry looks at Haley. Leah asked to be taken out of the company. Hadn't she just arrived? She came to see Liam, didn't she?Well, that was not Haley's
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 79. On The News!
…At The CEO's Office.Liam glanced at his wristwatch. Work hours were almost over. Had Haley left the company already? He could follow her to her secret hideout today, but what if he failed like last time?Joye, who would usually remind him that the work hours were over, sat mute on the office's couch. Now and then, he glanced in Liam's direction. And whenever their gazes met, he averted his eyes. Joye seemed to want to tell him something, and Liam didn't have the patience to wait. “Spill it.”Joye sprang to his feet, clearing his throat. “Won't you fire me, Sir?”Liam narrowed his eyes. “B-But I can't keep it in anymore!” Joye whined. “Once you go out there, others will misjudge you.”“What's wrong?” Joye was beating around the bush, and Liam was losing patience.Instead of answering his question, Joye brought out his phone.He clicked on the camera app, and showed Liam a reflection of himself on the screen. “So, S-Sir… you might want to clean it.”Smudges of pink lipstick m
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 80. Promised To Expose Them
The news!Liam spaced out. When? Who published it on the news? For how long had it been there? “Take it down immediately!!! Do it right now!!!” He barked out orders to his assistant, jolting to his feet and pacing the space of the office.Was it the employees, Haley, or Leah?But if it was Haley, wouldn't she have done it before now? She had long found out about Leah's pregnancy and didn't do anything about it. Haley wouldn't want to destroy his reputation, right?And the employees would gain nothing from it apart from losing their jobs.Then who did it?Liam kicked the chair in his away. He grabbed his suit jacket and slipped it on, striding out of the office. Hopefully, it wasn't what he was thinking. “Sir, where are we going?” Joye scurried after him and followed him into the elevator. “Go and do what I asked you,” Liam responded curtly, disregarding the worry in Joye's eyes. It wasn't like he was going to kill someone. If the need didn't arise, by the way. Who dared th
