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
"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
