The man's target that night was Heather, but he failed. Instead, another middle-aged woman died.

Since then, he had been in hiding, constantly feeling like someone was watching him. He planned to move to a new location tomorrow, but to his shock, Heather had found him first.

On the night of the incident, Heather hadn't seen the masked man's face, but she recognized those cold eyes. He was the killer.

"Surprised to see me?" Heather's voice was cold and steady.

A flash of malice crossed the man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure. "I must've mistaken you for someone else. I don't know who you are."

He tried to shut the door after speaking, but Heather's hand shot out and blocked it.

Her piercing gaze pinned him in place. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't have proof you tried to kill me. Pretending not to know me now is a bit late, don't you think?"

The man's expression shifted and he narrowed his eyes. "If you've got evidence, why not go to the police and ha

    The socialite gathering was attended not only by heiresses but also by actresses and popular influencers. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement. "Selena, can we visit the Franconia Vineyard your husband gifted you?" one of the socialites asked. "Thanks to you, we're able to taste such exquisite wine. Compared to what we're drinking tonight, everything else we've had before seems lacking." Another added, "Selena, you're so lucky! Your husband is not only handsome, but he’s also so good to you. I'm envious!" A group of elegantly dressed socialites surrounded Selena, showering her with flattery. "We'll enjoy wine from my vineyard for tonight. I'll organize another gathering soon, and we can all visit together," Selena said. She was dressed in a customized gown, holding a glass of wine with poise while basking in the adoration. But the truth was far less glamorous. Craig had filed for divorce, and the vineyard wasn't a gift from him but an apology from the Simpson family. D

    "Ms. Huntington, I'm sorry. I came to clean the room. I didn't know anyone was inside. My apologies," the room attendant said apologetically. "Leave. I don't need any interruptions here," Selena replied coldly. "Understood, Ms. Huntington." With that, the room attendant pushed the cart out hastily, leaving the room in silence. A few seconds later, Selena's voice cut through the stillness. "Heather is supposed to be out of her mind. Uncle Ty brought in countless doctors, but none could cure her. You must have mistaken her for someone else." Had Tyrone really sought out so many doctors for her? Heather was taken aback upon hearing Selena's words. Tyrone had never mentioned this to her. Hidden in the bathroom, Heather quietly pulled out her phone, turned on the recorder, and placed it near the door. "I don't know where you got the news that she's gone crazy," the man continued. "She seemed perfectly normal! She even knew I was working under orders. She's given me until

    Craig had always been drawn to girls like Heather, who was serene and pure. "Hattie…" he thought. Suddenly, Craig noticed a familiar figure in the distance. At first, he thought his eyes were deceiving him, but when he realized it was Heather, he ignored Evelyn and hurried toward her. "Hattie!" Craig grabbed her arm, his eyes filled with concern as he scanned her face. "What are you doing here? Are you feeling better now?" During the days Heather had been unwell, Ivy had called him repeatedly, berating him for what had happened. Craig was fully aware of Heather's condition. But now, seeing her clear, bright eyes, fully alert, he knew she had recovered. Relief and guilt were evident in his voice as he spoke. "Hattie, I'm so sorry. I had no idea Jay would kidnap you." "Where's Selena?" Heather's voice was calm. "Why are you looking for her?" Craig was taken aback at her question, a sense of unease creeping in. They had never been close, so why was she suddenly seeking S

    The crimson red wine soaked Selena's evening gown. It looked as if her gown was bloodstained. Selena looked extremely embarrassed.Everyone was shocked by the scene. Evelyn looked stunned. Her face flushed with anger as she looked at Heather and chided, "You shameless woman! How dare you humiliate my daughter-in-law! Who gave you the audacity? You have no respect for us at all!"Craig was also shocked. After all, Selena was his wife, and he couldn't just stand by. He took off his suit and wrapped Selena in it, frowning as he looked at Heather."Hattie, whatever happened, let's sit down and talk it through. Please don't act this way," he said."What else is there to say? Craig, if you are still my son, then get someone to kick this woman out! Right now!"Evelyn wished she could slap Heather."Craig..." Selena's body trembled. Her voice sounded pitiful.Heather let go of the wine bottle, and it fell to the ground. The glass shattered everywhere.She didn't look at anyone else.

    Heather smiled and said mockingly, "I never said you two met today, so why did you mention that it was today?"Selena was dumbfounded.She was eager to prove that Heather's recording was fake, but she accidentally slipped up."I didn't mean to... I just... spoke too quickly..."Selena desperately tried to find an excuse for herself, but she couldn't come up with a convincing excuse."Selena! You bitch! You actually wanted to harm me!"At that moment, a man's angry roar was suddenly heard.Several bodyguards dragged the man up to the top floor. The man's eyes were filled with resentment, as if he wanted to kill Selena. "You terrible woman! You tricked me into going back and waiting for the money, just to buy yourself time and have me killed! You heartless woman, I won't let you off the hook!"Several policemen appeared and approached Selena. "Ms. Huntington, we now suspect you are involved in a murder case. Here is your arrest warrant. Please cooperate and come with us for furth

    "I'm fine," Heather said in a flat tone. "If there's nothing else, I'll get going..."Before she could finish her sentence, she suddenly felt a familiar suffocating atmosphere in the air.Heather subconsciously turned around and indeed saw Tyrone walking toward them from a few meters away. His gaze was as cold as ice.Heather was worried. If Tyrone saw her with Craig, he would probably explode in anger again.Craig also noticed Tyrone, and his expression darkened.With only a few meters between them, Tyrone quickly reached her. Heather smiled. "What are you... Ah!"Tyrone suddenly swept her up in his arms. Heather, who was taken aback, instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck and asked, "What are you doing?""Who hurt your leg?"Heather was momentarily stunned, looking down at her leg.She saw several bloody wounds on her leg, most likely cut by glass when she dropped the wine bottle.She hadn't noticed it until now. No wonder she felt a slight pain in her leg while wal

    "Pfft…"Heather accidentally spat out some water directly onto Tyrone's chin and neck."Heather!"Tyrone, who was a neat freak, gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to! My bad!"Heather quickly wiped off the water with her hand, inadvertently brushing past Tyrone's prominent Adam's apple. Tyrone suddenly turned his head away to avoid her hand and said, "Don't think I will forgive you if you flirt with me!""What?"When had she ever flirted with him?She didn't expect him to still be fixated on this issue. Heather found it baffling and said, "I really didn't talk about anything with Craig. He just called me and then you came over."Tyrone grabbed a tissue to wipe his jaw. "Are you blaming me for interrupting you two?""No."She didn't mean that at all…"Then why were you talking to him?""Because he called me.""Just because he called you, does it mean you have to talk to him? If he's still interested in you, would you want to be with him?" T

    Tyrone was scolding someone again.Heather silently sympathized with the person on the other end of the call, then knocked on the door."Come in."Tyrone's stern voice came from inside the room.Heather pushed the door open and saw Tyrone sitting behind his desk, his gaze fixed on her."Are you busy?" Heather asked with a smile.Tyrone glanced at her coldly, then lowered his head to focus on the documents, ignoring her.Clearly, he was still upset.Heather walked in, approached Tyrone, and placed the bowl of fruit salad on the table. "I made some fruit salad, try it."Tyrone glanced at her but remained silent. His expression clearly said "I'm not eating, I'm busy."Heather then used a silver fork to pick up a piece of strawberry, bringing it to his lips. "I made this especially for you. Won't you try it?"The bright strawberry was coated with a bit of salad dressing, and it looked appetizing.Tyrone didn't even bat an eyelid, acting as if she was invisible.Heather put the

    "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
