"I didn't mean it that way. I just thought, since we'd need them eventually, I might as well buy more now," Heather explained. The boxes were plentiful, and using them all in one day would be impossible. "That's very thoughtful of you," Tyrone remarked. He picked up a box from the pile, his voice taking on a husky tone. "So, you like to keep things exciting, huh?" "Exciting?" Heather asked, puzzled. She glanced at the box he was holding, and as soon as she read the label, her face turned bright red. "That wasn't me! The salesperson picked those out, not me... I swear!" Tyrone raised an eyebrow, looking unconvinced. He picked up a few more boxes, amusement clear in his voice. "These have quite a variety of features." Only then did Heather notice the different labels on each box—"Cooling Sensation", "Ribbed", and "Strawberry-flavored". She felt mortified, wondering what on earth these were. Tyrone's hand slid to her waist, his touch warm through the fabric. His dark ey
Seeing that Heather had finally remembered, Tyrone chuckled softly. "Weren't you exhausted just a moment ago? Why the sudden burst of energy?" he inquired. "Tell me!" Heather demanded. She had endured so much, her back nearly breaking from the strain. She hoped Tyrone wasn't leading her on. Tyrone didn't keep her in suspense. "The Huntington family owns several successful businesses, and their companies are well-regarded in the industry." "Are you planning to take over these companies?" she asked. It was clear he had a reason for bringing this up. "My people are secretly acquiring shares in the Huntington family. They're holding a board meeting tomorrow. Would you like to represent the company?" "I can go?" "Of course, if you want to," Tyrone responded, affectionately pinching her nose. "I want to!" Heather exclaimed. Her eyes lit up with excitement as she eagerly wrapped her arms around his neck. Her radiant smile made her already stunning face even more ench
Heather bit her lip and stayed silent. Tyrone looked at her for a moment, the curve of his lips deepening slightly. He then gently pinched her cheek with his fingers. "Caleb brought these clothes when he delivered breakfast," he said. "You don't like me, yet you want to claim me as yours. Where's the fairness in that?" Heather wouldn't agree to carry his child, yet she got jealous over the smallest things. This both annoyed Tyrone and made him happy. Only she could make him feel such conflicting emotions. Heather was taken aback at his words. She glanced at the clothes, finally noticing the tags still attached. Realizing they were all brand new, she felt a wave of awkwardness. "Time's running out. I'll go change," she said dismissively, grabbing a random outfit from the closet and heading toward the bathroom. Tyrone reached out and took the clothes she'd picked, his expression unreadable. "I'll help you change." "No, I can do it myself," she responded. "Then don't
For over 20 years, the ever-imposing Tyrone had never once considered a question like this—how to court a woman. But now, he had to make sure Heather's thoughts were full of him as quickly as possible. Caleb was stunned. So the serious look on Tyrone's face earlier had nothing to do with the Huntington family. He was thinking about how to make Heather fall in love with him. Though exasperated, he answered seriously, "Well, to win a girl over, you should show concern for her, take care of her, give her flowers, take her shopping for bags and pretty clothes, or maybe buy her some skincare products. Girls love those things." "Do girls really love those things?" Tyrone mused. It wasn't as if he hadn't shown Heather concern or taken care of her. Every month, her closet was stocked with the latest handbags and jewelry, yet she never seemed too impressed. Whenever they went shopping, she would only buy a Jellycat soft toy. Deciding Caleb's suggestions were useless, Tyrone scoffed
Meanwhile, in the Huntington Group's conference room, Heather suddenly sneezed, rubbing her small nose. "Ms. Sutton, are you feeling unwell? Do you need to go to the hospital?" Isaac, seated beside her, asked with concern. "I'm fine," she replied with a smile. The vast conference room was quiet, the only sounds coming from them. The atmosphere was tense. Heather looked up, her clear eyes scanning the room, taking in the shareholders' somber faces. Her gaze then settled on Winnie, who was seated at the head of the table. She was glaring at Heather, her eyes full of venom. Breaking the silence, Heather commented, "Ms. Elkin, it's been five minutes. Are we not starting the meeting?" Winnie's eyes narrowed in anger as she spat out, "How did you get your hands on Huntington Group's shares?" Isaac cut in, his tone steady, "How Ms. Sutton obtained the shares isn't the issue. What matters is that she's now the Vice President of Zenith Corporation. You've all seen the stock cert
The secretary glanced at Winnie, and when she saw no objection, she picked up the phone to make a call. Isaac leaned over and whispered to Heather, "That man is Simon Huntington, William's third uncle. He's the most senior member in the family and holds considerable influence." Just then, a few security guards rushed in. Simon pointed at Heather, shouting for them to throw her out. The rest of the room stayed silent. If Simon was willing to take the lead in confronting Tyrone, the others were more than happy to let him. Heather's eyes glimmered with amusement as she stood up slowly. "This is a major corporation. Is it really necessary to handle things this way and kick people out?" "It's best if you leave on your own. And tell Tyrone, if he's got the guts, he can come after me directly. I'm not afraid of him!" Simon barked, his face stern. Unfazed, Heather's lips curled into a faint smile. "I'll leave, but before I go, I have a few things to say." She paused briefly, the
Winnie clenched her fists, her eyes flashing with cold, venomous fury. Heather cast an icy glare her way before turning around and walking out without a backward look. The atmosphere in the conference room was stifling, with all the shareholders wearing grim expressions.Simon turned to Winnie, his face set. "Winnie, Tyrone is a tough opponent. He's clearly intent on challenging us. What's your plan to handle this?" A dangerous glint appeared in Winnie's eyes as she gritted her teeth. "That bitch thinks she can flaunt her connection to Tyrone in front of me. I won't let her get away with it!" … Heather and Isaac left the building and headed toward the parking lot. "Ms. Sutton, are you planning to go after Simon to set an example? When do you intend to act?" Isaac asked, his expression stern. They had initially planned only to attend the shareholder meeting, so Heather's bold words had caught him off guard. If they were serious about taking action, they'd need to inform T
Heather had no choice but to return to the office with Isaac. In the president's office, Caleb stood by the desk, maintaining a respectful demeanor. "Mr. Elkin," he began, "the restaurant for lunch has been reserved as requested. All the lilies from the city have been delivered, and the setup should be completed in about 40 minutes. "The violin ensemble has also arrived. After lunch, you and Ms. Sutton will visit the Frosthaven Tower, which is already closed to the public and awaiting your arrival." "Alright," Tyrone responded with a hint of indifference. His gaze wandered over several neckties laid out before him. He picked up one and asked, "How about this one?" "It matches your suit perfectly," Caleb answered honestly. Tyrone was the epitome of elegance, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist that made him particularly well-suited for suits. Often featured on the covers of financial magazines, his business success was complemented by his striking appearance. He did
