Heather didn't contact Tyrone.She had just rejected him, so she couldn't bring herself to ask him for help now.That night, after showering, Heather received some documents from Caleb concerning the meeting tomorrow.There was quite a lot to go through. Heather stayed up all night and managed to finish reading everything. When it was almost daybreak, she lay down and took a nap."Hattie, wake up! Come on, Hattie, wake up!"Heather was woken up in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ivy standing worriedly next to her bed. She rubbed her eyes while saying, "Ivy, you're back. What time is it?""It's almost 8:00 a.m. You have a fever! Your body is burning. Put on your clothes. I'm taking you to the hospital."Ivy was in a filming session last night. She had just come back after work to see Heather sleeping on the couch. She went over to wake Heather up, but she realized that Heather was burning."It's 8:00 a.m.?"Heather instantly sobered up. She hastily sat up, but she sud
Caleb glanced sideways at Tyrone in shock. He thought, "He has been looking in that direction all this while, so how could he not have seen that? He's obviously defending Ms. Sutton."Halfway through their conversation, knocks sounded on the door of the president's office.Tyrone said, "Come in."Heather opened the door and entered the office."Wow, Ms. Sutton, you're quite pretty today. Mr. Elkin, regardless of whether the acquisition succeeds or not, we'll at least be superior in terms of looks." Caleb's eyes lit up when he saw Heather. Then, he teased her with a smile.Heather was still in business attire today, but her uniform wasn't the usual black and white color from before.She wore a white blouse and a light pink pencil skirt. Her stilettos were pale gold in color. Business attire in these colors didn't suit everyone. Without the right conditions, the wearer would look old and outdated. But Heather looked very nice in it.Heather was at her prime age. She had exquisite
Heather didn't want to be falsely accused, so she felt that she should explain herself."Mr. Elkin, nothing is going on between Mr. Lewis and me. He just noticed that I was sick, and he was kind enough to lend me his jacket."Kind…Tyrone scoffed mockingly. "Ms. Sutton, men always have ulterior motives when they're kind to you."Heather felt a little exasperated. "Mr. Elkin, Mr. Lewis is just concerned about me as a colleague. Don't assume that everyone is like you.""What exactly do you mean by that?"Heather was still too shy. She glanced at him, but she couldn't bring herself to say it.But Tyrone helped her with that. "Do you mean everyone wants to sleep with you, like me?"Heather fell silent.Couldn't he have some decency when he talked about things like that?What happened to the coldness he had during the meeting just now?Tyrone glared at her. "I want to sleep with you, and I told you very clearly. Do you think he doesn't want to sleep with you? Ms. Sutton, I can't
Heather's body was soft and tender, and it was like a ball of warmth.Tyrone was caught off guard by her hug. He frowned a little."Ms. Sutton, if you don't let go right now, I don't mind helping you sweat it out in another way!"She was unconscious, but he was very much awake. He could hardly resist her seduction.Heather was mumbling something.When Tyrone listened in, he realized that she was repeating words like "Mom, don't leave."She had actually mistaken him for her mother!Tyrone's expression instantly darkened. He said in annoyance, "Heather, wake up!"If you don't wake up now, I'll be deducting your pay!"Heather, on the count of three, if you don't wake up, I'll fire you!"But Heather remained unresponsive.Tyrone was rarely this helpless. He was furious.He had the urge to pinch the woman in his arms to wake her, but when he saw her sickly face, for some reason, he lowered his hand.In the end, he could only put his arms around her as he sat down on the couch.
"Huh?""What's that look on your face, Heather? Did you think that I took advantage of you on purpose?" Tyrone stared coldly at her.Heather fell silent.She had indeed thought that.She didn't believe that she would do something like holding onto him and refusing to let go.Tyrone's expression darkened. "You dreamed of your mom, and you mistook me for her. You kept holding onto me and refused to let go!"He had even kept watch over her wrist, and when the IV drip was complete, he removed the needle for her.If he knew things would turn out like this, he shouldn't have bothered with her!A shocked look flashed across Heather's eyes. She remembered holding her mother's hand in her dreams, and she felt like her mother was keeping her company. It felt especially real, too. So it was Tyrone, after all…In reality, it had been years since her mother passed away. She had gotten used to it, and she rarely dreamed about her mother.A forlorn look flashed across Heather's eyes. Out of
Heather's mind was in a mess.Her fair fingers were tightly clenched, and she pursed her lips tightly. She did not make a sound.Tyrone looked at her calmly. He didn't urge her, either. With his slender fingers, he continued tapping on his desk patiently.The taps seemed to be drumming along with Heather's heartbeat.Heather thought to herself, "Just once."Heather convinced herself. "Just this once!"She bit her lip. Then, she walked toward Tyrone.Tyrone's place was a short distance from the reception area. It was only a matter of a dozen steps, but Heather felt like it was extremely far.Tyrone gazed calmly at the woman approaching him. A hidden dark look flashed across his eyes.She didn't need to say anything. Her movements had already conveyed her decision.Heather walked up to Tyrone.Tyrone narrowed his dark eyes. Reaching out, he held her slender waist. With a slight pull, he led her to sit down on his lap.The man's oppressive and pleasing scent immediately envelo
In front of a basin in the bathroom, Heather cupped some water in her hands and splashed it onto her face. She stared at herself in the mirror and felt stunned.She had almost done it with Tyrone.Even though it didn't happen, for some reason, she felt like her whole body was marked with Tyrone's presence.She felt as if Tyrone's heavy breathing was still ringing in her ears.Heather bit her lip and then took a deep breath. She stopped thinking about the indecent scene.She took out her phone and navigated to her chat history with Craig on WhatsApp.The last message Craig had sent to her was dated two months ago.He said that he had to return home for an emergency, and when he came back, he would bring her to meet his parents. Then, they would discuss their wedding date.But since then, Craig seemed to have disappeared. He had completely gone off the grid.Heather looked at the chat box with a complicated gaze in her eyes. She thought, "Craig, where exactly are you?"Suddenly
It was late at night when Heather and Ivy arrived at the emergency department of the hospital.According to the doctor, Macey had tried to cut her wrist at home. Fortunately, some debt collectors came knocking and found her. Then, they sent her to the hospital.In the ward, Macey's eyes were tightly closed as she lay on the sick bed. She was getting an IV drip. Her face was pale, and her hair seemed to have withered. She looked even weaker than she had last time."Mrs. Snyder. Mrs. Snyder?" Heather stood by the bed and called out softly.A moment later, Macey slowly opened her eyes. She had a dazed look in her eyes. When she saw Heather, she froze for a moment. Then, she coldly turned around and said, "What are you doing here? Get out!"Heather was stunned. She glanced at the bandages wrapped around Macey's wrist. "Mrs. Snyder, why did you do this? Ms. Snyder is still in prison. If she hears that you harmed yourself, she'll be so sad."Macey sneered. Then, she turned around and g
"You have the hair. You can leave now," Tyrone said as he started to drive both Greg and Hector away.He was feeling sorry for Heather for having to deal with this when she had just woken up and when she was still quite frail."Arrange a room opposite this ward for me," Greg ordered his bodyguard.When Tyrone heard what Greg was saying, he frowned and said coldly, "You're going to stay here?""There are so many reporters outside. Do you think it's suitable for me to leave in less than 20 minutes after I've just visited my girlfriend who has been admitted to the hospital?" Greg remarked casually.However, he kept on poking at Tyrone by referring to Heather as his girlfriend again and again.Tyrone's expression was extremely cold as he said, "You're really treating yourself as her boyfriend now, huh?""It doesn't matter if I want to be her boyfriend or not. Most importantly, the entire nation believes I'm her boyfriend.""Looks like you want me to get you some work.""Ha!" Greg
Tyrone's eyes became a little colder as his arms around Heather's waist tightened.Greg scoffed at Tyrone's act of announcing his ownership and simply shot Heather a look. "Are you feeling any better?"He was here to visit a patient, so there was no need to get into a scuffle with an amiable person.Heather couldn't show Greg a sour expression, so she simply nodded. "Yeah."Greg let out a laugh. "You're so fortunate. Otherwise, you're going to die from some garbage's uselessness."He was inferring something else.Tyrone frowned and his attitude became even colder. "If you don't want me to throw you out, you should learn how to watch your tongue."Greg scoffed. "Which part of what I said was wrong?""Alright, now that Hattie's back, you two should stop fighting," Hector said. His gentle nature and charm easily make others have a good impression of him.He might be Heather's older cousin, so they had to show him some respect.Tyrone's eyes were cold as he bit his lips and said
Tyrone's body stiffened and the atmosphere suddenly turned tense."Tyrone. He shielded me from an attack. I saw him get hurt. I just want to know how bad his injury is."Heather knew Tyrone didn't like her talking about Craig, but she was genuinely worried about Craig. Heather explained to Tyrone using a gentle voice and tugged at his clothing.There was some anxiety in her eyes. She was being very careful, worried that he might get angry.It was true that Tyrone was somewhat upset, but what else could he say when she was already having that kind of attitude?Tyrone stayed quiet for a while and said, "He's no longer in danger."Heather sighed in relief. "I want to see him."Heather knew Tyrone was going to get upset again if he found out she sneaked out to see Craig, so she might as well tell Tyrone now.Tyrone was silent for a few seconds before he coldly said, "You can see him when you're in a better condition."Heather wanted to go immediately. But she knew if she showed to
Seth had already planned to go for a game of gold in the afternoon.Ivy didn't want to stay to become a third wheel, so after telling Heather to take good care of herself, she then left together with Seth.The ward instantly fell silent.Tyrone looked at Heather with dark eyes. "How do you feel? Do you still feel any pain?"Heather simply said, "I want to take a shower."She had sweated a lot after she recovered from her fever, and she wasn't feeling that comfortable from the sticky sweat.Tyrone's eyes darkened and didn't say anything. He pulled the blanket aside and picked her up, taking her to the washroom.The moment they were inside the washroom, Tyrone placed her on the toilet. He first filled the bathtub with hot water before turning around, wanting to remove her clothes."I can take a bath by myself. You should go out," Heather said as she held onto her outfit tightly, blushing.Tyrone raised his eyebrow. "How can you take a bath yourself when you're so weak? What if a
When Heather opened her eyes once again, the first person she saw was Ivy."You're finally awake, Hattie! You're scaring me to death! Are you alright? Are you feeling any discomfort?"Ivy quickly held Heather's hand when she saw the latter opening her eyes. Then, she asked a string of questions.Heather's entire body was feeling numb and her head was spinning. "I feel weak. Is this the hospital? Why are you here?""I found out from Seth that you have been kidnapped and Mr. Elkin has been searching for you all the while," Ivy said nervously. "You've been having a fever for the past two days and you scared me. It is so fortunate that you turned out alright."She paused a little before saying angrily, "Selena must have gone crazy. She was trying to starve you to death. I know she's not a good person, but I didn't expect her to be so malevolent."You can't even call her a human anymore. She's been arrested, and it's over for her this time."Ivy still couldn't forget how she first sa
Craig was too calm. Perhaps it was because he already knew how duplicitous Selena was.The gentle Selena was just an illusion he saw when they first met, and after he was charmed.That was why, despite feeling angry and shocked once finding out Selena's pregnancy was a lie, he didn't find it completely unbelievable.There was nervousness when Selena was looking at Craig, but it slowly turned into disappointment. Her lips curled into a bitter smile as she said, "You must be so happy when you heard I've faked my pregnancy. You think that you've finally gotten rid of this burden, haven't you?"Craig… Do you know how much I wanted to have a child with you? But you don't look forward to having a child with me at all!"Then let me tell you one more thing. Nothing happened between us that night at the hotel. I've always been lying to you."Aren't you even happier when you hear this news? She spends every waking moment with Tyrone, but you're still keeping your virginity for her… Do yo
Light reflected from the sharp blade."Hattie!" Tyrone yelled loudly.Selena was already right in front of Heather in the blink of an eye, wearing a twisted expression on her face as she held the dagger in her hand.Suddenly, Craig appeared right in front of Heather. He protected Heather, and the sharp blade sliced open a deep wound on his face.Craig grunted, and his towering figure shuddered.Heather looked at the figure standing right in front of her as she could only weakly shout out in shock, "Craig!"Why was he there?Craig was showing Heather his back as he raised his hand to cover his face, blood coming out from between his fingers and dripping on the ground as it flowed from the back of his hand."Don't worry, I'm fine."Craig glared at Selena coldly as he responded to Heather.Selena was completely stunned as she couldn't move her eyes away from Craig.Tyrone kicked Selena's bodyguard in the chest, and he fell to the ground, unconscious. It was at this time when Ca
"But what did you do?"Selena's eyes were suddenly filled with savagery, as if she wanted to turn Heather into shreds. "We were fine when we went on our honeymoon, but everything changed the moment we met you!"Why wouldn't you leave? Why must you string him along? He was going to fall in love with me soon!"Heather, you ruined everything for me! It's you… It's all because of you!"Selena screamed in hysteria.She still believed that the root of all her issues was because Heather refused to leave.Heather never expected Craig and Selena to have such a deep history. "I've never wanted to steal Craig from you. You're the one that's being too suspicious."Selena kept staring at Heather. "It doesn't matter, because you're going to die today, anyway. Even if Craig won't ever love me, he can forget about being together with you!"Even if she couldn't get Craig, she wouldn't allow them to be together.All Selena cared about was revenge.Selena pulled out a dagger from her purse. The
Caleb moved very quickly. He had already found out that Selena had been keeping in touch with a number every day.The owner of that number was a bodyguard who worked for the Huntington. According to the GPS signal from the phone with this number, the phone had been staying in Suthurn Hills on the northern side of Royalton.At the same time, Caleb's phone started to ring. He picked it up and listened to his subordinate's reports. He frowned and said, "Sir, Selena had suddenly left the hospital. Her car is leaving the city.""If she really is leaving the city, is it possible that she's heading to Suthurn Hills? Maybe her bodyguard is keeping an eye on Heather?" Hector made an educated guess.In reality, Hector's guesses were all spot on."The mountains stretch across a wide area. We need to find a way to pinpoint the phone's exact location and then send out our men to search the area," Greg said.Tyrone said nothing as he pursed his lips. Suddenly, he walked in the direction of the
