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
Outside that café by the roadside, there was a white coffee table by the floor-to-ceiling window.On the table, there was a vase with a pink camellia. The delicate flowers were vivid and alluring under the sunlight. However, the flowers were overshadowed by the woman seated next to it.Heather was dressed in a light gray turtleneck sweater and a brown coat. Her soft hair cascaded down her back, with a few strands gently touching her face. It was as pretty as a painting.She was holding a cup of water and conversing with Craig, who was seated across from her. Her expression was focused.Craig was in a black suit, listening attentively to Heather.The warm autumn sun shone on them. The scene was unbelievably picturesque.Yet, to Tyrone, the scene stung badly. Sitting in the car, his judgmental gaze fixed on them. The gloomy look on his face was terrifying!For a week, she hadn't called him. Yet, here she was, dressed to the nines, meeting another man!"That's Ms. Sutton! What? An
Jay was consumed by the thoughts of revenge, to the point of sending people to the hospital to kidnap Whitney. With such intention for vengeance, he might do something even crazier.Heather didn't want any trouble, which was why she'd wanted to meet with Craig to tell him about this.Craig broke the silence. His tone was calm but chilly. "You asked me to meet you just to tell me this?"Heather sat there with a complicated look flickering in her eyes.She had wanted to ask him how he had been lately, but given their relationship, it didn't seem appropriate to ask."I understand your feelings of resentment, but since Thomas is planning to sue you, I believe he may not be the one responsible for your father's death. "Maybe you've made a mistake. I assume you wouldn't want to target the wrong person as well, right?"Heather looked at Craig."Did Thomas tell you this? Do you believe everything he said?" Craig's gaze turned colder, and his tone became icy and assertive.Heather fro
"Heather!" Someone called out to her in a chilly tone.Heather paused and turned around. It was Craig. He said coldly, "Since you've chosen to be with Tyrone, stay by his side and don't disturb me anymore! Don't come near me in the future. I don't want to see you again!"Heather looked at Craig with her teary eyes and pursed her lips. "I also wish you and your wife a long and happy marriage!"With that, she left without looking back.Craig sat in his seat, staring coldly at Heather's retreating figure. There was a fleeting hint of pain in his gaze. He had once said he could protect her, but now, being with him would only put her in a dangerous situation.One thing Heather said was true. If she was with Tyrone, Jay couldn't harm her. The man he had once scorned was now the only one who could protect her.Craig coolly looked through the floor-to-ceiling window, watching Heather bend and get into a cab on the roadside.Although he should hate her and take revenge on her, when h
Heather suddenly felt a reluctance to get into the car. She had a strong intuition that nothing good would come from getting in."Ms. Sutton, please get in the car quickly," Caleb urged her.Since she was already there, she couldn't leave. Heather bent over and got into the car.Soon enough, they were on the road. The oppressive vibe inside the car grew even stronger.Tyrone continued to ignore Heather, sitting there as if she were invisible. She turned to look at him and asked, "How did you know I was in that cab?"Tyrone's gaze was cold. He gave Heather a side glance and sneered, "What? Don't you think I can see?"Heather was taken aback. Did he really need to be so sarcastic? It seemed like he was fuming.Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Heather did not want to waste her time entertaining him further. She said nothing and turned her head to look out of the window.Beside her, Tyrone gazed coldly at her delicate side profile.They hadn't seen each other for many days yet s
"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
