The thought of running into Tyrone upon returning made Heather inexplicably nervous.Not wanting to bump into him, she thought for a moment and then called Lucy, asking her to help pack her luggage."Ms. Sutton, I am unwell and have taken a few days off to rest at home. I'm not at Magnolia Creek these days, so I apologize that I can't help you pack your luggage," Lucy said.Heather was surprised. "Is your illness serious?""Oh, it's not serious. Thank you for your concern, Ms. Sutton."After a pause, Lucy decided to give Heather a heads-up. "Ms. Sutton, you had such a big argument with Mr. Elkin this time. When you come back, have a talk with him. Clear up any misunderstandings between the two of you. You really made Mr. Elkin angry this time, and it's not good for you."After a moment of silence, Heather whispered, "Lucy, thank you for your concern. Take care of yourself and get well soon. I'll hang up now."With that, she hung up the phone, feeling a bit dejected.Lucy was si
Tyrone narrowed his eyes and smirked. "I stopped Snyder Corporation's project, and now she can't stand it anymore. She purposely wanted you to inform me!"Caleb was confused. He didn't think Heather meant that. Just now, she hadn't mentioned Tyrone at all. Moreover, she'd specifically chosen to go to Magnolia Creek on a weekday morning. Wasn't that to purposely avoid bumping into Tyrone?Caleb really wanted to tell Tyrone that he was overthinking a bit too much. But seeing Tyrone's mood improve slightly for the first time after a few days, Caleb didn't dare to offend him at this moment. He could only agree, saying, "Ms. Sutton definitely meant that.""Of course she did!"The chilling air surrounding Tyrone dissipated slightly. He casually pushed aside the documents and stretched out on the couch. A glint of darkness flashed in his eyes.The Snyder family still relied on her. Only he could give her support, so she had to come back to him. He wanted to see what that woman would
Heather watched anxiously as the cursor on the laptop screen kept spinning in circles.Was the laptop broken?Little did she know this laptop had suffered some damage last night. Someone had thrown and broken it, so of course it wouldn't start.Afraid that Tyrone might think she wanted to stay longer here, Heather awkwardly explained to him, "I'll be done soon."Tyrone remained silent. He walked over to the couch and casually wiped his hair with the towel. His dark eyes ran down her figure from top to bottom.He thought she was purposely standing that way to show off her good figure to him. However, the thought that she'd left him for a man who'd dumped her made Tyrone's gaze turn colder.Did she think that by intentionally delaying things, he would start talking to her? If she didn't apologize properly today, he wouldn't forgive her!Neither of them spoke. The atmosphere in the room became unbearably tense because of Tyrone's presence.Heather felt like she was sitting on pi
"Do you really know how to fix it?" After watching Tyrone work on the laptop for a while without any signs of improvement, Heather began to doubt his abilities.As she spoke, her warm breath brushed against Tyrone. His body stiffened up slightly, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the mouse.At that moment, a loud rumble sounded from Tyrone's stomach, and his handsome face tightened."Are you hungry?" Heather asked subconsciously.As she said that, she realized that it was inappropriate to ask such a question given their current relationship.Tyrone replied coldly, "Yeah, I'm hungry. Go make me some food!" It had been a long time since he had eaten a meal she had cooked."Huh?"Make food for him? Heather had thought that he'd just tell her to leave.Tyrone's gaze turned icy. "What? I'm fixing the laptop for you, aren't I? Is it too much to ask you to make some food for me?"He paused. "I don't want to fix the laptop while I'm hungry. Do you not want your documents any
As Heather was cooking, she suddenly felt a strong gaze on her and turned to see Tyrone standing in the kitchen.Their eyes met, and Tyrone's gaze instantly turned cold.Heather was taken aback. His expression didn't seem like it belonged to someone who was hungry for food, but someone who was hungry for her. He was definitely deliberately torturing her.She averted her gaze, ladled the soup into a bowl, and placed it on the dining table. "The food is ready. You can eat now. Is the laptop fixed?""Yeah," Tyrone said coldly."Then go ahead and eat first. I'll work on the documents." Hearing that the laptop was fixed, she turned and headed upstairs.Tyrone frowned disapprovingly. Wasn't she supposed to stay and keep him company and try to ask for forgiveness?"Mr. Elkin, Ms. Sutton put a lot of effort into cooking for you just now. She made dishes you like, so she must care about you. You should have a good talk with her later," Lucy said respectfully and nervously.Tyrone glan
As Heather finished speaking, she picked up her suitcase and intended to leave.Once, she'd been willing to make a deal with him for the Snyder family, but now she was determined to cut ties with him completely.She'd even used him to save someone's life before. But now that he had no value to her, she wanted to kick him away. When she was by his side, she'd even thought of other men. What did she take him for?Just as Heather was about to pass by him, Tyrone suddenly grabbed the handle of her suitcase."Heather, what makes you think I will let you go?" Tyrone's icy voice was terrifyingly menacing.Heather looked stunned. "Tyrone, you said that once I walked out that door, we'd be completely done!"They had already broken up. What did he want now?Tyrone's gaze turned sharp, and suddenly he kicked open the suitcase.Heather was startled. Before she could react, Tyrone forcefully grabbed her wrist and pinned her against the wall. His gaze was cold and intimidating."Heather, am
The sound of rustling leaves surrounded them as the wind blew.The exquisite ivory-carved architectural model in Heather's hands felt like it weighed as much as the world itself. Tyrone had gifted her a lot of valuable things in the past. However, this architectural model seemed to be something completely different.She wondered why he'd get it for her.Heather's eyes shuddered before she gave the architectural model back to Caleb. "It's very beautiful. Please thank him on my behalf. Also, please come and find me later so I can transfer the title transfer agreement as soon as possible."After Heather finished speaking, she then picked up her luggage and left.Caleb was shocked. Heather had always been quite soft-hearted. He'd thought she'd seek Tyrone out and make peace after listening to those touching words. He'd never expected her to choose to leave despite everything in the end. Since when had she been so cold-hearted?…Once Heather was outside the gate, Ivy helped her
Heather was deep in thoughts as she approached the door.Behind her, Craig opened his mouth, wanting to tell her to stay. However, he didn't know what kind of excuse he should use.If he hadn't used George as an excuse, Heather wouldn't even have come to see him at the hospital.Heather left the ward, only to encounter Selena, who was coming over to see Craig. "Heather! You're here to seduce my husband again!"Selena walked to her angrily and raised her hand, wanting to slap Heather.Heather narrowed her eyes and caught Selena's wrist in midair.She furrowed her eyebrows and said, "I'm here to see Craig for something serious. Are you really that insecure, Ms. Huntington? Do you think a few words from me is enough to seduce him?"Selena's expression froze for a moment, then she smiled coldly. "Oh, Heather. How can you still be so arrogant when Uncle Ty is no longer backing you? Crushing you is easier than crushing an ant now."Heather caught the meaning behind her words and look
"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
