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
The setting sun cast a warm orange glow in the study room.Heather sat on the office desk, and Tyrone stood in front of her. His one hand held her slender neck, the other arm tightly around her waist, pulling her closer in his embrace, kissing her deeply.A breeze brushed by, lifting Heather's white skirt lightly against Tyrone's black trousers.After a while, Tyrone released Heather.His thumb gently rubbed against her crimson and tender cheek as he whispered in a husky voice, "Are you hungry?"Heather's eyelashes fluttered slightly as she slowly opened her eyes, blushing as she looked at him. "Didn't you book a restaurant? Let's go.""How did you know?" Tyrone raised an eyebrow."Um, Caleb told me. He said you were scolding someone," Heather said.Tyrone was speechless. How dare Caleb complain to Heather. He must be tired of living!Meanwhile, Caleb suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose and felt a sudden chill down his spine. What was happening?…At Vista Palace.The rest
Shortly after, Mr. Caldwell left.Heather asked, "Can we go back now?""Are you angry?" Tyrone frowned and gently pinched Heather's cheek. "You don't need to care about what he said. I've told you, nothing will happen."It seemed like Tyrone was assuring her that her position as his lover was secure.Should she be happy about it?Heather wasn't actually angry. She just didn't want more people seeing them together, especially now that Janine had returned to the country. If rumors reached her, it wouldn't be a good thing."I'm not angry. I just want to go back. Shall we?" Heather said."You're really not angry?""I'm not.""Then give me a smile."Feeling helpless, Heather reluctantly curved her lips into a sweet smile."Heather, your smile is so ugly."Heather was speechless.She wanted to hit him!…Back at Magnolia Creek.Heather put down her bag and headed toward the bathroom.Suddenly, she was lifted up. Startled, she instinctively wrapped her arms around Tyrone's ne
