Heather refused to believe Tyrone. "Not every company's president is like you. I could always be the secretary for a woman. If you don't want me to starve, please approve of my resignation."

"Last August, the president of Woody Textile gave up two of her secretaries to several foreign businessmen so that she could secure an order from overseas.

"They had some unique interests, which led to one of them dying and the other being admitted into a mental health facility. Since both of them were orphans, all of this was swept under the rug."

Heather was stunned. "Did that really happen?"

Woody Textile was a famous company of no small size. Heather hadn't thought that something like that would have happened.

"Some companies will perform background checks when employing secretaries. They give priority to orphans and those from poor families. Do you want to guess why?" Tyrone's voice was icy.

It was because if anything happened to an orphan, no one would bother the company. It was the sa

    Tyrone's baritone voice was devoid of emotion.Heather could only look at him in shock. "If you know that Anna's the spy, why are you keeping her by your side?"Tyrone pinched Heather's cheek, enjoying the smoothness of her skin. He thought she looked quite cute when she was surprised."Anna's a small fry; she doesn't deserve much attention. Meanwhile, Sam has been doing well with Greg for the past few years, and he also controls some spies from the other branch companies. I need to keep Anna around to lure the others out."Heather suddenly realized what was happening. Anna was a spy planted to stay close to Tyrone. However, he had used this against them and turned Anna into bait.So, Tyrone knew about everything Anna wanted to do. He was simply waiting for the perfect time to spring his trap.A thought crossed Heather's mind as her eyes widened. "Wait, that means you knew that I wasn't the spy from the very beginning?""That's right.""Then, the tender—""The loss was intenti

    Heather felt a chill run through her bones. Tyrone was indeed a cunning man!Tyrone lifted her chin and asked, "What are you thinking about?"Heather returned to her senses and swatted his hand away in an instant, as though she had been electrocuted. Tyrone's hand hung in mid-air as he frowned unhappily."Mr. Elkin, since you know that I'm not a spy and I am no longer of any use to you, I hope you'll approve my resignation. After this, I hope we never cross paths again!"Craig had been right about one thing—Heather needed to escape from Tyrone's side. The latter wasn't a man she could afford to provoke.It was enough that she had been used once. She didn't want to be used twice, thrice…Heather didn't realize that Tyrone had never needed to explain anything to anyone. Given his status, there was no need for him to do so.Yet, even though he had been so patient with her and explained everything, she had still concluded that she never wanted to see him again. What remained of Ty

    In the evening, Heather went to work at the bar as usual.It was almost dawn when she got home after work. She lay down and slept after washing up. The sound of her phone ringing suddenly woke her up. Still in a daze, she opened her eyes groggily and looked at the phone screen to find that Caleb was the one calling. Why was he calling her so early?Heather answered the phone. "Mr. Hall, is something wrong?""Ms. Sutton, Mr. Elkin is sick and has been admitted to the hospital. Can you please come and take care of him?"Heather was shocked and asked, "What happened?""Gastric bleeding. Don't tell anyone else." Caleb's answers were short and to the point.Since Tyrone was the president of the company, if the news about him being admitted to the hospital leaked, it would make everyone start speculating. It might even affect Elkin Group's share prices.But how had he gotten gastric bleeding all of a sudden?"Is it…" Serious? Heather stopped just before she said the last word.

    "Quick, look at the headline news—she's been arrested!"Heather was stunned for a moment. "Is that right?""How can you be so calm? That woman framed you! Aren't you relieved that she's been apprehended? Plus, she was caught red-handed as a corporate spy, which clears your name. Mr. Elkin won't suspect you anymore.""He's known that I'm innocent all along."Heather had foreseen Tyrone uncovering Anna's secrets and exposing her. But she hadn't expected it to happen so swiftly."What do you mean he knew you weren't involved?" Ivy asked, clearly perplexed.Heather proceeded to recount the entire chain of events to Ivy. Upon hearing what Heather said, Ivy fell into a prolonged silence.Her voice carried a touch of unease as she remarked, "Mr. Elkin is very manipulative and scheming, isn't he? If he had known that you weren't involved all along, then it means he had simply been putting on an act in front of everyone else. Are you still upset with him?""What right do I have to be up

    After Selena finished speaking, she abruptly ended the call.Despite their strained relationship, Heather hadn't imagined that Selena would be heartless in her moment of distress.Without delay, Heather tried to make another call for help.Suddenly, footsteps approached her, and the two men who had abducted her came into view.Upon seeing Heather holding her phone, the burly man lunged forward. He forcefully yanked the phone from her hand and hurled it to the ground with a loud crash."Damn it! This bitch is trying to call the cops! Are you trying to get yourself killed?" he barked."Who are you people? Why are you doing this to me? If it's money you're after, I can give it to you!" Heather fought to keep her composure."Who the hell wants your filthy money? Our boss wants to see you! Let's go!" With that, he forcefully pushed Heather toward the exit.They arrived at a ladder and started their ascent. The intense glare of the outdoor lights was blinding, making Heather instinct

    Heather couldn't hide her surprise; she hadn't expected Tyrone to agree to come. After all, she was now just a discarded pawn to him. Why would he risk coming to rescue her?"Both of you, stay hidden and wait for my signal! Tonight, I'm getting my money and Tyrone's life!"The night breeze carried a faint hint of blood, sending shivers down Heather's spine. Would Tyrone truly risk coming alone?Meanwhile, Sam and the two men prepared for the ambush.Heather discreetly surveyed her surroundings. She was on a fishing boat, surrounded by other boats and a straight road—there seemed to be no way for her to escape.What was she supposed to do now?"Mr. White, Tyrone really screwed us over. How about we have some fun with his girlfriend first? She's incredibly alluring, what with her fair complexion and youthful appearance."It'll be exhilarating to be intimate with her! We'll capture it on camera and post it online. Then, everyone will know that Tyrone's girlfriend was in our grasp!"

    Tyrone rolled on the ground, narrowly evading the bullet.Consumed by fury and humiliation, Sam forcefully kicked Heather aside. She stumbled backward, crashing into the railing before tumbling overboard from the ship.As Heather plummeted into the sea, the final images etched into her mind were the sharp crack of gunfire and Caleb leading a group of people charging onto the fishing boat.They were all Tyrone's men. That was a relief—Tyrone should be safe. Unfortunately, Heather wasn't so lucky. She crashed heavily into the frigid ocean waters.It was a chilly autumn night. The icy waters surrounded her completely, their frigid embrace pulling her under."Help me ... help... help."Heather couldn't swim. Soon, her body began to sink, as if an invisible force were dragging her deeper. At the same time, the freezing seawater rushed into her mouth and nose, causing a sharp pain in her lungs.Heather's struggles soon became weaker, and her consciousness slipped away as her body ra

    With Tyrone uncomfortably close to her, the memories flooded back vividly into Heather's mind.She eventually snapped out of her reverie. She was momentarily startled as she looked at Tyrone's handsome face before her."Why are you afraid of me?" Tyrone's cold, piercing eyes bore into Heather's, as though any misstep in her words could trigger a drastic reaction from him.Heather's pupils contracted slightly as she calmly said, "I thought you were going to strangle me again."Tyrone reached out and placed his arm around her shoulder, his hand coming near her neck.Heather's strong reaction was driven by deep-seated psychological scars from the last time he had strangled her.Tyrone jerked slightly, and a flicker of surprise crossed his eyes at her response.After scrutinizing her for a moment, he abruptly took her hands and pressed them against his own neck."Choke me!" he demanded.What was he doing? Heather's unspoken question hung in the air as she processed his words, stun

    "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.

    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
