Lucy stood in the doorway, handing Heather her phone. Her face was filled with concern as she whispered, "I think Mr. Elkin is in a bad mood. Maybe you could cheer him up."

Heather was speechless. The last thing she wanted was to comfort Tyrone. If only she could send him to outer space instead!

She was sure that if Lucy turned off her phone, Tyrone would just call another maid in the mansion to get her to answer. Waking everyone up in the middle of the night was definitely not ideal.

With a forced smile, Heather took the phone and shut the door. She took a deep breath before holding it to her ear.

"Heather, how dare you hang up on me? Are you asking for trouble?" Tyrone's voice boomed through the phone, making her wince.

Heather had expected this. In a calm and soft tone, she replied, "You're the one who started yelling."

"Who allowed you to sleep?" he yelled.

She was stunned. Was she getting scolded for sleeping? Was he insane?

Heather had hoped that with Tyrone away,

    On the other end of the call, Heather drifted off to sleep with her face pressed against the phone screen. Listening to her soft and even breathing, a subtle tenderness flickered in Tyrone's eyes. He decided not to wake her and quietly ended the call. … Heather slept until noon the next day, all thanks to Tyrone's late-night call. She handed the phone back to Lucy, who asked with concern, "Ms. Sutton, you and Mr. Elkin didn't fight, did you?" "No," Heather replied. She had fallen asleep while talking with Tyrone and couldn't recall much of their conversation. "Thank goodness." Lucy breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. "I was worried you two might argue, but it seems Mr. Elkin won't take it out on you, even if he's in a bad mood." Heather was speechless. If it weren't for Tyrone deliberately keeping her awake yesterday, she might have believed Lucy's words. She hoped he wouldn't disturb her tonight. All she wanted was a good night's sleep. … With no updates from Set

    Despite Selena's persistent attempts to seduce him, Craig remained resolute in his refusal. Desperate, she had secretly drugged his drink, hoping that just one sip would make him hers for the night. Unfazed, Craig set the drink aside and gently guided Selena to the couch. "Selena, I need to leave for a few days," he said calmly. Selena's eyes turned icy. "Is this about Heather? Craig, it's my birthday! Are you going to abandon me for her?" Earlier, when Craig had pulled out his phone, she had seen the name "Hattie" on the screen. The intimate nickname stung, especially since she was only saved in his contacts as "Selena". It hurt deeply because she was his legal wife. "I'm sorry I can't be here for your birthday," Craig said. "We're investigating a feud between the Simpsons and Snyders. It's tied to the person responsible for my family's deaths. I really have to go." With that, he grabbed his suit jacket and left the private room. "Craig!" Selena called out desperately,

    Soon, Heather arrived at the airport. She bought her ticket and entered the waiting area. Just then, her phone rang. It was from an unknown number. "Hello, who's this?" she answered. Selena's shrill voice sounded in her ear. "Heather, was seducing Uncle Ty not enough for you that you're after Craig now? You shameless slut! Do you think you can get away with this?" Heather winced at the assault on her eardrums. She couldn't help but hold the phone away while enduring Selena's tirade of insults. Each one was more vicious than the last. Didn't Craig explain the situation to her? "Selena, are you done? Craig and I are going out of town to find someone. There's nothing more to it," she replied coldly. Yet, Selena wasn't having any of it. "You're just trying to seduce Craig! You filthy whore! If you need a man so badly, why don't you sell yourself?" Today was her birthday, and the thought of Craig leaving her for Heather was unbearable. "Selena, you're being ridiculous!" Heat

    "What are you thinking about?" Craig inquired, his steady gaze fixed on Heather. She blinked, snapping back to reality. "I'm not sure if we'll even find George on this trip." Locating George would be ideal. If they didn't succeed, not only would they miss crucial leads from years ago, but Selena might also assume they were having an affair. That would make it difficult for Heather to explain herself. Craig's lips curled into a reassuring smile. "Don't worry. Even if we don't find him, we can follow other leads. There's always a way." She remained silent, her shimmering eyes reflecting a hint of uncertainty. Noting Heather's silence, Craig's smile softened. "What's on your mind?" "It's nothing," she replied with a sheepish smile, turning her gaze back to the window. Heather couldn't shake the feeling that Craig seemed different. During their phone calls, he had been distant and cold, but now he was unexpectedly gentle, almost like the Craig she used to know. Not only ha

    Just then, Caleb's phone buzzed, and he answered it. After listening for a moment, he looked at Tyrone with a furrowed brow, his expression serious. "Mr. Elkin, Ms. Huntington has something to discuss with you about Ms. Sutton." Tyrone opened his eyes gradually, his face darkening with concern. Caleb handed him the phone respectfully. Tyrone took it with one hand and put it against his ear, his voice cold and flat as he demanded, "Speak." His icy tone sent chills down Selena's spine. After taking a moment to calm herself, she said, "Uncle Ty, did you know that Heather has been flirting with Craig? She's been in constant contact with him!" Tyrone's eyes narrowed at her words. "She's been flirting with your husband?" "It's true! I have proof. Heather is cheating on you—" "Stop spreading lies. He doesn't love you because you're unattractive. What does that have to do with Heather?" He dismissed her abruptly, his patience clearly wearing thin. Selena was taken aback by t

    The plane touched down in Oakville. Craig had rented a car, so he and Heather made their way to the small town. By the time they reached, evening had settled in. George's place was a dilapidated two-story building. "He wouldn't have moved out, would he?" Heather asked. She frowned as her gaze fell on the dark windows. The building seemed unoccupied for a long time. "I'll check," Craig said. "Stay here." He went next door to inquire and soon returned with news. George was indeed staying here, but they were unlucky. He had gone gambling three days ago, and he had a pattern of returning every five or six days. Heather furrowed her brows. "Didn't he gamble away all his relocation money in Royalton? Does he even have a job?" Having investigated it, Craig replied, "I've asked around. George has lived here for over a decade, and no one has seen him work. Yet, he seems to have money. He often claims to be a gambling expert and says he's won a lot. "I suspect his money comes fro

    Tyrone's tone sounded cold, as if the temperature of the surrounding area had dropped a few degrees.As she was going to hang up the call, Heather stopped her fingers mid-way, feeling somewhat surprised.Clearly, Tyrone was not in a good mood. What had happened?Heather regretted calling him at this moment. She spoke softly, "Lucy said you were looking for me. Is there anything you want?""Where are you?"Heather calmly said, "I'm at Oakville. Didn't Lucy tell you?"She couldn't let Tyrone know she was trying to find out what had happened between the Snyder and the Simpson families.He wouldn't let her meet Craig, so she couldn't tell him the truth. Now that she met with Craig, she had to use returning to Oakville as an excuse.Perhaps Heather was wrong, but she felt Tyrone's mood became worse after she said that. He didn't say anything, but she sensed a subtle change in the air, almost suffocating.It was uncomfortable, to say the least. Heather continued to say, "I'm from Oa

    The next morning, Heather woke up feeling exhausted. She had spent the night chasing after Tyrone in her dream.Heather felt somewhat helpless. Instead of calling her and torturing her until she couldn't sleep, Tyrone invaded her dreams, making it impossible for her to sleep well.Did she commit a sin in her past life for her to meet him in this lifetime?Thinking about Tyrone's unfriendly tone last night, she wondered how he was doing now.She hoped his mood had improved, or else the people around him would suffer. As she was thinking about that, Heather got out of bed to freshen up and change her clothes, and then she headed out.As she stepped outside, the car Craig had rented parked outside. Through the windshield, she saw Craig sleeping under a blanket on the reclined seat. He was still not awake.She recalled Craig's attitude the previous day. She felt that he had become friendlier, which she found to be a bit strange.However, she didn't dwell on it. She walked around t

    "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
