The phone fell silent."So you don't want to die? Then don't say it if you don't mean it! Hypocrite!" Heather mocked Selena before hanging up the phone.On the other end, Selena gripped her phone tightly. An intense look of hatred flashed through her eyes, but it was quickly suppressed. She looked up at Craig with teary eyes. Her face was pale, and her whole body seemed to be on the verge of collapse."Craig, Heather wants me to die, do you want me to die too? Do you really not care about our marriage, and our child?"She lifted her hand to hold her small belly. She looked so pale and weak, as if she was about to fall apart.The Huntington family was in trouble. Many of their close friends had cut ties with them. At times like this, she couldn't lose the Simpson family!As long as she was still part of the Simpson family, Craig would protect her!Again, she used the child to manipulate him.Craig looked indifferent. He turned to look at Selena. "Mood changes are not good fo
The Elkin family residence was surrounded by hills, amidst a winding mountain range, and birds would occasionally fly through.A luxury car drove past the hot spring building where Heather had last visited, and continued down the road for a while. Several white villas appeared, and the atmosphere was dignified and majestic.The car stopped in front of one of the white villas.At the entrance stood a middle-aged man in a suit. He was the housekeeper for the Elkin family.Heather got out of the car. The housekeeper sized her up coldly as he said, "Ms. Sutton, Mr. Elkin Senior is waiting for you. Please follow me."Heather didn't say anything and followed the housekeeper into the house.The Elkin family's house didn't look overly flashy. The furniture was mainly made from sandalwood, giving the place a demure and dignified sense of luxury. After walking through the long corridor, they arrived at the hall.On the couch sat an old man in a crisp white suit. His hair was graying,
Heather blinked a few times. Indeed, she wouldn't have been able to wield such influence without Tyrone.Frederick, who had been a formidable person in the business industry throughout his life, was clear about this."I heard you were going against Winnie and the others for the sake of one of our maids. She was our maid, and we were her employer. Heather, our employees are no concern of yours."Heather felt her fingers slowly tensed up. "She is not just your family's maid, she is my godmother."Frederick was taken aback by her stubbornness. His gaze was cold as he said, "So you will go against us no matter what?"Heather's eyes were calm. "I can reconcile with you, as long as you make Selena kneel in front of Lucy's tombstone. She must be judged by the rules of law, and pay her due price. Only then will I back down.""Don't be ahead of yourself, Heather!" Winnie exclaimed.She couldn't stand it anymore and stood up suddenly, staring at Heather with sharp eyes.Frederick didn't
The cold contempt in his voice when he said "illegitimate" made Heather's breath quicken. "How dare you say that about your own son!" "He's just an illegitimate son, isn't he?" Winnie said contemptuously. She laughed coldly and added, "You're just his lover. Don't think you're anything more than that!"Tyrone and Winnie were at odds over the Elkin family's inheritance, but he was afraid to offend his father. Heather was being too presumptuous!"Ms. Sutton, you can still change your mind," Frederick said calmly.Heather's face was pale, and a cold sweat had broken out on her forehead. She gritted her teeth and didn't say anything.Frederick looked at her for a while. His next words sent a chill down her spine. "You do have some backbone. But if this is the road you want to take, I'll let you.""Let me go!" Heather struggled fiercely.Just then, a maid walked in from the side, carrying a tray with a cup on it.The maid walked over, and the bodyguard grabbed Heather with on
Heather wasn't sure what Tyrone was going to do. She instinctively gripped the tie tightly, taking a step back.Tyrone turned his head to look at Frederick and said calmly, "You'll have to wait a minute."As he finished speaking, he took a few big strides toward the bodyguard. When he reached the bodyguard, he kicked him hard with his foot, sending him flying.The bodyguard landed two meters away, blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. He gritted his teeth as he tried to stand up from the ground.Tyrone walked up to the bodyguard, grasping the bodyguard's collar, and slamming him against the side of the table.Only the sound of bones shattering could be heard, and the bodyguard's head suddenly had a hole in it, with blood oozing everywhere.Winnie let out a terrified scream as she hid beside William. She was shaking all over, terrified by what she was witnessing.Tyrone pressed down on the bodyguard's head, slamming it against the table corner again and again.The sound
Frederick didn't care if the Huntingtons were going to fall. What he cared about was the dignity and reputation of the Elkin household that he had built. The Elkins and the Huntingtons were related by marriage. That was why he interfered.Tyrone didn't even blink as he stood there and said, "Hattie was fine standing by my side. Winnie and her family were the ones who pushed her buttons. She has a bad temper and I can't control her."He made it sound like he had little choice.Frederick was furious. It was obvious Tyrone was doing this intentionally. He refused to believe he couldn't keep his lover on a tight leash.Winnie couldn't stop herself from angrily questioning Tyrone, "Don't think you can wash your hands clean from this. It's clear you're the one that's pushing this narrative. I dare you to swear that the Sharps didn't do this at your behest."Tyrone remained silent.Then, he opened his eyes and looked to the side.Winnie instantly felt chills down her spine as Tyron
Winnie had just finished saying that when Tyrone's hand that was holding Heather's suddenly tightened. Tyrone's grip was so strong that she was feeling some pain from it.He looked at Heather. The darkness in his eyes was so intense that she felt he could see through her very soul.Heather's heart skipped a beat.She had lied to Winnie. But maybe because she was starting to have feelings for Tyrone, so she felt a little guilty when looking into his eyes."Really, now?"Tyrone said those two words, but Heather couldn't decipher the emotions behind them.Winnie nodded. "That's the truth. She told me herself. Tyrone, you're treating her so well, but all she has been doing is scheming against you."Tyrone would never keep an ambitious woman by her side.As soon as he got rid of Heather, they would have plenty of ways to deal with her.Heather bit her lip, saying nothing.Tyrone glanced at her and said calmly, "You should worry about your own family, Winnie. You don't have to wo
"Are you an idiot? Do you really think the reason he called for you is to have a heart-to-heart?" Tyrone roared at her.Heather did believe that, so she awkwardly said, "I really didn't think too much of it. I thought you were still angry at me, so you might not pick up my call. That's why I didn't tell you."Tyrone was speechless.No matter how angry he was, would he ignore her calls?Tyrone was looking at her so fiercely, as if he could only calm himself down after gulping her up.Heather acknowledged that she had been careless. If it wasn't for Tyrone coming on time, she would have become mute.Tyrone saved her once again, and she made him go against his father.Heather was genuinely grateful. "Thank you for saving me. But your father is very upset with you for hitting someone else. I'm so sorry for dragging you into this.""Isn't that a little too late?" Tyrone said coldly.If he knew Frederick wanted to see her, he would deal with it and make them unable to see each oth
