"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
Tyrone remained silent. The driver, of course, did not dare stop the car. He pretended not to hear and continued driving.Caleb almost wanted to jump out of the car whens Tyrone and Heather started arguing. He quickly intervened, "Ms. Sutton, we saw you at the café. Why were you with Craig from the Simpson family?""You saw me at the café?" Heather's heart skipped a beat."Yes, we happened to pass by." Caleb paused for a second and continued, "Ms. Sutton, did Craig ask to meet you to get close to Mr. Elkin through you?"Heather was taken aback and turned to look at Tyrone.So, she wasn't mistaken when she'd felt like she'd been watched at the café. Tyrone had seen her with Craig and had been observing them the whole time!They thought Craig was meeting her for business purposes, trying to get close to Tyrone through her.Tyrone believed she was scheming against him, hence his anger and questioning. Was that what he wanted her to explain?Heather said with determination in her e
When Heather regained her composure, she bit her lip, mixed emotion flashed through her eyes.She was just a toy that Tyrone kept around to expend his energy.When Tyrone was in a good mood, he would tease her. When he was in a bad mood, he would use her to alleviate his boredom. When he was in need of it, he would use her to vent out his sexual frustration.Those were the only uses she had.So what if he was throwing a temper tantrum? What right did she have to be upset about it?Heather looked down and didn't look at Tyrone, and said faintly, "Can you let me go first? I'm not feeling comfortable."The car stopped at this time, and Caleb respectfully notified him, "Mr. Elkin, we're here."Heather turned and looked outside the car window. There was a beautiful, white Western-style building not far away. "What is that?""That's… Ms. Sutton, Mr. Elkin is having a meeting today. That's where he'll be having his meeting," Caleb answered with a smile.The reason he said that was be
"You can't…" Heather pushed Tyrone away and wanted to say something nervously, but her lips were quickly sealed by his lips. All she would do was murmur against them."I can't?" Tyrone raised his eyebrow unhappily. Normally, he wouldn't allow her to refuse this."I'm on my period." Heather finally found a chance to speak as she gasped for air.Tyrone was speechless. His expression darkened, and he stopped. His fingers moved and touched a sanitary pad under her, and he instantly lost interest.He said nothing more and pulled his hand out. He also tidied up Heather's outfit a little and held her in his arms. He then rolled down the car window to cool himself down.Heather sighed in relief. It was fortunate that she really was on her period. Otherwise, Tyrone would have seriously ignored her wishes.At this time, Tyrone's phone rang. He took his phone out, and the name "Janine Seel" flashed on the screen.Tyrone frowned and immediately hung up without even picking it up."I need t
Several figures were quickly approaching them in the corridor. The imposing figure leading them all was Tyrone.Behind him were Leonard and Siena.Leonard cared little about Heather all this while, so he had little emotion on his face. However, Siena held Leonard's hand and looked at Heather in concern. It seemed like she had something to say but couldn't."What are you doing here?" Tyrone walked over and stopped, his dark eyes gazing at Heather.There was a glint in Heather's eyes. She looked down on her own shoes, saying nothing."Honey, I walked into this beauty just now," Janine said as she walked over to Tyrone's side and held his arm affectionately.Tyrone frowned. "Are you hurt?" His gaze was too powerful. It was obvious his question was directed at Heather.Heather's heart skipped a beat, and she raised her head, only to see Tyrone and Janine standing under the warm glow from the lights above them. Combined with the artistic atmosphere in the corridor, she felt the two o
Heather didn't refuse Siena's request. The two of them went to a cafe close to the building where the art exhibition was held.Even though Siena had called it a cafe, the place looked more like a lounge. The two of them had a seat and Heather ordered a glass of lemon water, while Siena ordered a cup of black coffee.The server soon brought their drinks.On the glass of lemon water was a small cat decoration made from an orange peel. It looked very cute.Heather looked at the decoration in interest for a while before taking a sip. She then saw Siena looking at her as if she had something to say, and she was stunned for a little.Heather felt a little helpless. "Stop. I didn't feel upset seeing Tyrone and his wife together. Trust me."Siena frowned and sighed. "Hattie, Tyrone and Janine got married for the sake of their families' needs. The relationship between the two of them was very complicated, so don't take it to heart. I can tell that Tyrone cares a lot about you."Tyrone an
"Your place…" Siena mumbled under her breath.Heather realized that something was wrong with her expression. "Siena, are you alright?""I'm fine." Siena revealed a smile, but it was obviously a smile that was forced. She accidentally glanced at a wine rack not far away and narrowed her eyes. She raised her hand at the server and pointed at the wine rack. "Give me a bottle of your strongest wine."Heather was taken aback. "Siena…""Hattie, if you still treat me as a friend, then don't stop me. I want to drink today." Siena turned away and looked at her with melancholic eyes.Heather could tell that Siena was in a very bad mood. She bit her lip and said nothing else.Soon, the server brought the wine over.Siena poured a glass for herself and started to quaff the wine. She choked on the wine and started coughing intensely, her fingers still holding the wine glass tightly.Heather quickly said, "Take your time."Siena coughed for a while until she raised her head and looked at
