Heather let out a sneer. "There's no need for that. I'm no longer working for the Elkin Group. Are you going to try to deceive me again?"Anna simply shook her head with a smile. "I know what kind of person you think I am, Heather. It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. I'm really sorry. That's why I'm here today—to apologize."I don't hate you that much. I'm just…" She paused for a moment before continuing, "Jealous of you, I suppose. You're younger and more beautiful than me, so I didn't like you in the beginning."Heather took a sip from her glass of lemon water and said nothing.However, there was no hostility in Anna's eyes. "Heather, you're too naïve, and you believe in others too easily. That's why you lost to me. This world is far darker than you believe, and it's easy for someone else to take advantage of someone like you."Heather agreed. "I've already had a taste of it, but I've learned from my experiences. I'll be wary of people like you from now on."Anna didn't
"Then, why did you—""I told him I could steal the files for him, but he would need to set me free after that. I want to go somewhere else and live a good life with a man whom I can trust and who will treat Darla well."It wasn't difficult to figure out relationship between Anna and Sam given that he had been bold enough to go to the Elkin Group and hit Anna. With Anna's identity, as long as Sam refused to let her go, she would never know freedom.Anna paused and continued. "Mr. Elkin likes you a lot. I knew that as long as you stayed with him, I would never get the chance to get close to him, so I needed to get rid of you."Heather, I'm out of options. Even if I got another chance, I would still do the same thing. The truth is that I succeeded after you left—we spent time together last night, and he was quite good in bed."Heather could feel her chest becoming stuffy and uncomfortable as her grip on the glass tightened considerably. Anna observed her reaction and said, "Are y
"Come on, Hattie. I'm here, aren't I?" Seth said with a smile.Heather was stunned; she looked at Seth in shock. "Hattie, Mr. Sharp's company is the one that wants to buy your script," Ivy explained."Why do you want my script?" Heather looked at Seth in surprise.Seth shrugged. "I have a film company. One of our directors read your script and saw potential in it."He handed Heather a folder and said, "Here's the contract. If you think the terms are acceptable, then go ahead and sign. I'll get the crew ready, and you can be involved in the production."Heather glanced at him before taking out the folder and reading the contract."Mr. Sharp is very sincere in this deal, and he's offering you one million dollars. This is an offer that only famous screenwriters in the industry can get," Ivy said with a smile.Of course, Heather knew that. Not only had Seth offered to buy the script from her at a very high price, but he had also invited her to participate in the production process
"You're missing Ty already?" Seth didn't know that Tyrone and Heather were done with each other and gave Heather a meaningful look. "You don't have to miss him that much, to be honest."Heather gave him an embarrassed smile and said nothing else. She stopped paying attention to the news, picked up a pen, and signed her name on the contract.After she was done, she gave the folder back to Seth.Seth took it and said, "I'll have someone contact you later and guide you through the rest of the process."Heather nodded. "Sure.""Oh, right," Seth said, changing the subject. "How's the progress been on what I told you about last time?""Huh?" Heather didn't catch what he meant the first time.Seth instantly became somewhat nervous and tapped his finger on the table. "Oh, no. Don't tell me you've forgotten what I told you at the bar?"Only then did Heather remember that Seth had asked her for help to support his partnership with Tyrone.She had indeed forgotten about it. Still, she kn
When Tyrone heard what Heather said, he frowned.When Seth realized that she wasn't joking, he was taken aback. "Wait, are you two serious?"Heather nodded. "I'm looking for a new job right now, and I should get one soon."Seth was so speechless that all he could do was stare at her in utter shock. He had seen plenty of women in their social circle trying to get close to Tyrone, but it was the first time he had seen someone trying to get away from him.He could also tell that Heather wasn't playing tricks and throwing tantrums. She was being serious!Was there something wrong with her? Did she truly understand who Tyrone was and how much he was worth?Did she really comprehend who Tyrone is and how much he is worth?Seth had always been known for his eloquence. Yet, he now found himself at a loss for words for the first time in his life.He looked at Tyrone's dark expression and Heather's serious one, and then back again. He suddenly had a bad feeling. It wasn't the best time
Heather had no words as she simply stared at Tyrone, gritting her teeth. The expression on her face became more and more serious.Heather was scared. Although her face had darkened, it was still better than the cold expression she had worn earlier.A faint smile formed on Tyrone's stony expression, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. He went back to looking as unapproachable as usual. "You—"Heather's temper suddenly flared up as she roared, "What's the point, Mr. Elkin?" Ivy and Seth were shocked as they watched everything unfold before their eyes.Tyrone frowned and saw Heather stand up suddenly, looking at him icily. "I'm saying it one last time. I didn't steal your documents. If you don't believe me, you can call the police to investigate me."You think it's fun to hinder my resignation, leaving me unable to find any other work? Don't you think what you're doing is rather despicable?"Heather was so angry that she didn't care what she was saying. She simply wanted to
Once Heather was out of the restaurant, she raised her hand and hailed a cab.Before this, she had only heard about how cruel Tyrone was; now, she had seen it with her own eyes. She had wondered why he hadn't punished her, but it turned out that she had been a fool all this time. Why had she naïvely believed that Tyrone would spare a traitor like her?Now that Tyrone was stopping her from officially resigning, she wouldn't be able to survive after this. That was so brutal of him!At that moment, her phone started ringing.Heather calmed down and held up her phone, which displayed Tyrone's name. She didn't even give it a second thought before rejecting the call with a frown.Less than a second later, her phone rang again.Heather declined the call once more. Yet, her phone rang yet again. Heather became beyond annoyed as she continued to decline the calls.In the past, she hadn't wanted to cross Tyrone. That was why she had always deferred to him. However, now that they had fal
The Lamborghini stopped right in front of Heather, rendering her speechless.When the car door opened, Tyrone stepped out of the car.The handsome Tyrone was no longer wearing his suit jacket, leaving him in just his black trousers and white shirt. His attitude was so cold that others were naturally afraid of him."Sir, we have stopped her as you requested." The highest ranking member of the traffic policemen stepped forward with a smile on his face.The rest of them looked at Heather curiously. They were all wondering what her relationship with such an influential man in Royalton could be.Heather was at a complete loss for words. No wonder Tyrone hadn't been in a rush to chase after her. He had already had someone set up checkpoints on the road and had known that she wouldn't be able to escape."What's going on? Isn't he supposed to be a lecherous old man?" The driver looked at Tyrone with wide eyes."Lecherous old man?" Tyrone asked as he raised an eyebrow.The driver nodded
