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
The man wanted to pounce on her. Heather kept on brandishing the half-broken wine bottle around, and he didn't dare to get too close.However, she knew that she had drunk too much and couldn't maintain the stalemate for long. She was already stumbling around right now, and she didn't have much time.Heather looked at the man vigilantly and then pulled out her phone to call the cops.She looked at the man carefully and said with a frantic voice, "I'm calling from Treasure Island Cafe. My friend Siena Lawson and I are together. She drank too much and we're being harassed. Please send someone…'The man suddenly gave Heather a kick."Ah!" Heather let out a painful scream as she fell on the floor, and her phone fell out of her hand.…Meanwhile, at the art exhibition, Tyrone was holding his mobile with his hand, his eyes terrifyingly cold as he turned around and headed to the art exhibition's entrance.Janine, who was socializing with the guests, was slightly surprised when she saw
Tyrone's cold presence surrounded Heather, forming a protective barrier around her. She looked at his face in shock, mumbling, "Tyrone—""Who hit you?" Tyrone's cold voice cut her off before she could even finish.Heather then saw him staring at the other half of her face that had a handprint on it, his eyes filled with a savage look.Heather wasn't afraid at all now, despite his terrifying expression. Instead, she felt safe. She pointed her finger at the man who was coughing blood and said, "He did it."Tyrone raised his eyes. The man that he was staring at instantly shuddered and said in terror, "Uncle Ty, I… You and her… I…"He never would have dreamed that Heather would have something to do with Tyrone!Tyrone very rarely returned to the Elkin family home, and they saw him even less frequently. However, his fear of Tyrone had already taken root deeply within him.If he had known that she belonged to Tyrone, he wouldn't have touched her with a ten-foot pole."Give me five mi
Heather was stunned and nodded sternly. "Of course! I packed up and moved out. The mansion in Magnolia Creek is yours… "After we break up, can you form a partnership with the Snyders for just one project? As a compensation for splitting up with me."Her words were a little disorderly. After she finished, she looked at Tyrone with hope. It was obvious that she was drunk.Tyrone knew that he shouldn't argue with a drunk woman over this, but he was still angered.Not only had she thought about breaking up, she had even thought about what kind of compensation she wanted. She had thought all of it through, while he had been thinking of waiting for her to contact him. Just great!Heather was still a little slow and looked at him, blinking. Then, she showed him one finger. "Just one compensation.""Forget about the compensation!"Tyrone immediately cursed under his breath. "Do you even know how much money I've spent to get you to stay with me? I'll lose so much if we break up. You w
"Take care of them for a while. I'll be there soon," Tyrone said softly and hung up.He then grabbed the blanket and covered Heather before he was going to stand up and leave, but a hand grabbed the corner of his shirt.Tyrone turned around and saw Heather glaring at him with wide eyes. He raised his eyebrow and asked, "You're awake?"Heather looked at him for a few seconds before pulling the blanket away and then pounced on him.When Tyrone saw that she was going to pounce on him, he instinctively grabbed her. Heather fell right into his arms. She grabbed his shirt and tiptoed, biting his lips.After Heather bit Tyrone's lips, she immediately let go and looked at him victoriously.Tyrone was completely taken by surprise. He frowned and took a deep breath before saying, "What are you doing, Heather?""You bit me first," Heather said in a serious tone.Tyrone had no words. While she was already awake, she was still quite drunk.She probably remembered that he bit her in the car
"Let's go." Heather pinched his ear and pulled when she saw Tyrone wasn't moving.No one had ever pulled Tyrone's ear before. His expression turned dark instantly, and he said in an annoyed tone, "Stay still, or I'm going to throw you off!"Heather immediately stopped and pulled her hand back, answering obediently, "Okay." After a few more seconds, her weak voice came from behind again. "Then, move."Tyrone started walking around the room as he stopped himself from throwing her off.From the bedside to the balcony, and then from the balcony back to the bedside. Only the sound of his slow footsteps could be heard inside the bedroom.Heather wasn't that heavy as her small figure quietly sprawled on his back without making a move or a sound.Tyrone carried her for a while and thought that she had fallen asleep. He had just wanted to put her down when Heather's gentle voice whispered into his ear again. "Are we there yet?""No."Heather was silent for a few seconds and said unhappi
"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
