"What is it?" Heather asked."Well, there are so many creditors demanding payment these days. I don't want to involve you, but the debts need to be settled."The company's bankruptcy has led to its assets being seized, so I need you to ask Mr. Elkin to help lift the bank's seizure so I can reopen the business and make money," Thomas explained."I had hoped you'd break up with him and leave him completely. I know it's not the right thing to say, but I've tried many ways and asked many people, but no one is willing to help. I'm really at a loss. Can you ask Mr. Elkin for help?"His smile was somewhat awkward.Heather frowned. She didn't want to trouble Tyrone over the Snyder family's issues, but Thomas' request was hard to refuse.The Snyders had a massive debt. Only someone as powerful as Tyrone could handle lifting the bank's seizure.Heather pressed her lips together. "I can try to help you, but I can't guarantee he will do it.""You need to act fast. Mrs. Elkin is back, and y
"Don't worry about it. I have other things to do at noon, so I won't stay for lunch. You all enjoy lunch," Heather said.Macey had never liked her. If Thomas had her cook for Heather, she would probably cause a scene."Alright then, I won't keep you any longer. Hattie, remember to talk to Mr. Elkin about lifting the seizure order on Snyder Corporation," Thomas said with a smile.Heather pressed her lips together. "I'll let you know if there's any update.""Then I'll be waiting for your good news. Let me see you out," Thomas said cheerfully as he accompanied her to the door.They walked through the garden and out the front gate, where Heather got into the car waiting for her and left.Macey walked over with a cold expression. "Why did she ask about the Simpson family?"She had been eavesdropping from upstairs and had heard the entire conversation.Thomas' expression darkened immediately, and his eyes narrowed shrewdly. "That mad dog from the Simpson family went after her for rev
"Are you alright, Ms. Sutton?" the driver asked anxiously.Holding her forehead, Heather replied, "I'm fine. What happened?""A car suddenly changed lanes, and I didn't have time to brake. We rear-ended it."As soon as the driver said that, someone kicked the car door hard. An angry, familiar voice shouted, "Are you blind? Do you even know how to drive? Get out of the car!"Heather turned and looked over. When she saw the furious woman kicking the door, she couldn't help but feel speechless.How unlucky could she be to run into Selena, even in an accident?"Stay in the car, Ms. Sutton. I'll handle this," the driver said as he got out.Selena's shouts grew even more intense. "You hit my car! Can't you drive properly? How dare you crash into my car! Do you know who I am?""Miss, be reasonable. It was your fault for suddenly changing lanes. You violated traffic rules!" Not recognizing Selena, the driver started arguing with her.Selena, who was used to being arrogant, ignored him
Heather frowned and said, "I didn't know it was her car. I didn't purposely ask the driver to hit her car."The collision between the Maybach and the Maserati had attracted quite a huge crowd of onlookers.Craig looked at Heather, then lowered his head to look at Selena, whom he embraced in his arms. He reached out to hug her shoulder, as if protecting her.He softly said, "Whatever has happened has happened. I'll buy you another one. No need to waste our time with others. Your mom is still waiting for us. Let's go."Upon hearing his words, Selena was shocked. She looked up at Craig. Did he just refer to Heather as "others"?Craig only gave her a gentle smile. He ushered her toward the Maserati and opened the door for her to get in.Selena was surprised by his reaction. Sitting in the car, she couldn't help but give Heather a smug look.Craig closed the car door and went around to the driver's seat. Soon, the Maserati left.Craig hadn't been able to make eye contact with Heathe
Heather thought for a moment. "I think it's been about four days.""It's not four days, it's been seven days! Ms. Sutton, have you been in contact with Mr. Elkin recently?"Had it been a week since Tyrone left?Maybe it was because she had been busy editing the script; she felt that time passed quickly and didn't notice that he hadn't come back for several days."No, I haven't. Lucy, do you need something from him? You can call Caleb."Seeing that Heather was not worried at all, Lucy became more concerned, "Why would I need anything from him? Ms. Sutton, Mr. Elkin hasn't come back for so many days. Aren't you worried?""Why should I worry?" Heather absentmindedly savored another spoonful of the chicken soup.There were so many bodyguards protecting Tyrone and maids serving him. Besides, he was with his wife, enjoying his marital life. There was nothing for her to worry about."Ms. Sutton, Mr. Elkin has been gone for so long without talking to you. Aren't you afraid that he has
"Alright, see you in 20 minutes." Heather then hung up the phone and headed toward the door.…In the vice president's office in Simpson Group, Craig sat in front of his desk, dressed in a white sweater and casual gray pants. His head was slightly lowered; a few strands of hair fell across his forehead, giving him a gentle and refined aura.He put his phone down. His elegant fingers pressed against the pen as he signed his name on the document that was spread out in front of him. He then closed it and handed it to the assistant waiting on the side."Send this document to the finance department and have them transfer the money for our cooperation with Ziegler Group."After hearing his instructions, the assistant respectfully replied, "Yes, Mr. Simpson."Craig was still young and had never held a position in the company before. He had just been appointed as the vice president, and no one had high expectations for this seemingly gentle and agreeable young man. Some even thought
"Do you know? I heard that the president and vice president of Simpson Group are brothers, and they’re the same Simpsons who went bankrupt 20 years ago! "They say the Simpson family had a tough time back then, but now they've made a comeback. Isn't that incredible?""I know someone who works at Simpson Group. She said that the Simpson family was ruined by someone back then! I don't know who can be so ruthless. They are worse than animals. People like that deserve to die!"The waitresses were gossiping loudly.Heather turned to look at them, but she froze when she saw Craig coming in through the door. His thin lips pressed tightly together. There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.Evidently, he had also heard the waitresses.Craig strode over and sat down opposite Heather. His tall figure exuded a calm demeanor as he looked at her.Heather started, "You...""Oh my, that's Mr. Simpson! He's so handsome! It's a shame he's already married. Wow, so the beautiful woman is his wife!
However, as soon as Caleb said those words, Tyrone became even more pensive.Heather was doing it for his own good?Ha! How considerate of her!When Caleb saw Tyrone's brooding face, he regretted what he'd just said. Had he said something wrong?With his thin lips tightly pressed together, Tyrone took out his phone, only to realize it was switched off.He turned it on. There was nothing. There were no missed calls or messages.Tyrone chuckled.Seeing him smile, Caleb breathed a sigh of relief and quickly asked, "Mr. Elkin, did Ms. Sutton call you?""Did she call me? No!" Tyrone's expression suddenly turned a terrifying one. He forced the words out coldly through gritted teeth. He stared furiously at the phone screen, which showed no notifications.Tyrone had a gut feeling that if he didn't reach out to Heather, that woman would never contact him!The veins in his tightly clenched hand bulged, as if he wanted to crush the phone. There was suffocating air in the car.Caleb t
