Tyrone's gaze was fixed intently on Heather. She hesitated, recalling the day she had gone to his office. Uncertainty flickered in her eyes. "Right, I went to see you that day because I had something to tell you," she blurted. Tyrone hummed in acknowledgment, his voice even. "What do you need my help with?" After everything that had happened, the frustration he once felt toward Heather had dissipated. It no longer mattered whether she genuinely cared for him or was merely using him. As long as she stayed by his side, that was enough. Stunned, Heather blinked in confusion. "I didn't want you to help me with anything. You misunderstood." The moment the words left her lips, Tyrone's expression turned cold. His gaze sharpened, and his posture stiffened. His voice, now cold, cut through the air. "Are you trying to break up again?" Heather was caught off guard. "Break up? Where did that even come from?" she thought, bewildered.Seeing her silence, Tyrone assumed his sus
Heather gazed at him, her shimmering eyes reflecting only his image, as though nothing else in the world could fit. Tyrone's stare met hers, deep and unwavering. Realizing that there was no trace of deceit or flattery in her gaze, his heart trembled. Heather, the heartless yet pretty little thing, just told him she liked him. A torrent of emotion surged through Tyrone, filling his chest so completely it felt as if it might burst. "Heather." His voice was hoarse, his eyes piercing as he spoke slowly and deliberately, "Whether you're serious or not, I'm taking it seriously." With that, he lowered his head and kissed her. This kiss was different from any he had given before—gone was the usual dominance and intensity. Instead, it was tender, a stark contrast to his usual nature. There was warmth, affection, joy, and devotion in it, all flowing into her. Heather's heart raced. Her thick lashes fluttered before she slowly closed her eyes, responding to him gently. But that
Heather was scheduled to stay in the hospital for a few days of observation. Once their earlier tensions had eased, everything between them seemed sweet and light. That morning, Tyrone held Heather on the bed while scrolling through his phone to choose a sports car. Heather, meanwhile, was watching TV and messaging Ivy. "You scared me half to death! I just found out today that the car you were in fell into the river. How did you escape if you can't swim?" Ivy asked through text.Ivy, who had been busy with a show, had only seen the news about the crash that day. The report mentioned that Tyrone had organized a large-scale search and rescue operation on the river. Curious, Ivy checked with Seth and realized that Heather and Greg were involved. Heather explained to her that Tyrone had taught her to swim and recounted the events. Ivy replied, "You really need to thank Mr. Elkin. He's truly your lifesaver." This wasn't the first time Tyrone had saved her. He had come to her ai
Tyrone remained silent as he furrowed his brow. He stared at the roses, looking clearly unwell. "I'm sorry, Ms. Seel. Tyrone is allergic to pollen. I'll take the flowers outside. Please don't be upset," Heather said as she carried the bouquet toward the door. Janine stood speechless, her frustration palpable. Watching Heather fall for Tyrone's tricks again was infuriating. Shooting a cold glare at him, Janine blurted, "You're taking advantage of her trust. How can you live with yourself?" Tyrone's gaze turned cold. "And you? Haven't you been using her trust just the same?" Janine knew Heather saw her as a friend, without any romantic interest. Yet she had taken advantage of that trust to get closer. "I warned you to keep your distance," Tyrone said, his tone frigid. "Don't make me shut down your exhibition." Janine shot back, "Is threatening people the only thing you're capable of, Tyrone?" "If power can control people, why would I need anything else?" Tyrone's expres
Heather turned to face him. Greg's gaze was sharp with scrutiny. "Tyrone really likes you." After everything that had unfolded, he finally saw it clearly. Tyrone didn't treat Heather like a mere plaything, as he had once assumed. If that were true, Tyrone wouldn't have gone to such lengths to find her. Heather's eyes flickered before she offered a faint smile. "Yes, he likes me." Greg found her smile infuriating. "So what? He still chose Janine. You fool. What are you so proud of?" he sneered. Heather hadn't planned on engaging with him, but his words made her scoff. "He chose Janine to save me. He knew you'd throw whoever he picked off that balcony." Greg's expression darkened instantly at her statement. "Tyrone outplayed you, Greg. You're no match for him," Heather commented. Greg's lips thinned into a tight line, his face growing darker with each passing second. It was clear that he realized it too. Narrowing his eyes, he stared at Heather. "Even if Tyrone cares
Greg's hatred for Tyrone ran deep, etched into his very bones. Without evidence from that fateful year, nothing would change his mind. As Heather exited the room, she encountered Janine, who had just emerged from her ward. "Ms. Seel, are you done with your conversation?" she asked. Janine's expression shifted as she took Heather's arm. "Hattie, have you considered what I told you?"Heather hesitated, then shook her head gently. "Ms. Seel, I appreciate your concern, but I'm not leaving." Janine's face grew serious. "Hattie, being with Tyrone is dangerous. You need to think about yourself—" "I understand," Heather interrupted, her smile both gentle and resolute. "But I won't leave him." She couldn't abandon Tyrone. Besides, Winnie and Selena had yet to face justice. There was no way she could walk away now. Seeing that Heather had made up her mind, Janine frowned. With a sigh, she remarked, "Alright, I respect your decision. I'll be leaving tomorrow. Can I have a hug?"
Heather felt a sharp pain in her heart.However, everyone had a past. There was no need for her to cling to those things and make both of them unhappy.Heather put up a faint smile. "I was just asking. Hmm, I'm feeling a bit hungry. Let's go grab something to eat."…Two days later.In the hospital room."What the hell is going on? Why can't anyone get in touch with Diego?"Winnie's face was pale with anger as she gripped her phone tightly."Mom, Diego's phone is off. Could Tyrone have caught him? Or maybe he went back to Southeast Astram?"Selena wanted to know if Diego had succeeded. She really hated Heather.Winnie's expression turned cold. "Diego is the best among them all. Isn't Tyrone still busy looking for Greg and Heather? He has no time to pay attention to Diego!"Tyrone had blocked all information and left a group of people searching for Greg and Heather, creating the illusion that they were missing. Winnie believed it completely.Winnie said sternly, "Where's you
"What did you say?" Selena frowned. She was initially puzzled, but then she coldly glared at her. "What kind of trick is that bitch Heather trying to pull now?""Relax, I'm not sent by her. I'm helping you because we both hate the same person.""Who do we both hate?""My sister, Heather. Don't you hate her?"Selena didn't just hate her, she loathed Heather with every fiber of her being. "I will never let that bitch go!"Whitney smiled slightly, but her eyes gleamed with icy malice.Earlier today, Whitney had come to the hospital for treatment. She saw Heather and Greg. Heather was dressed in an expensive designer outfit, glowing with beauty and elegance.But Whitney was stuck wearing an oversized, ugly hospital gown, lying in bed under the sympathetic gazes of the doctors.It was so unfair, wasn't it?…News of Winnie's arrest was all over the media.Although she had not been convicted, everyone knew she wouldn't escape a prison sentence. Legal experts predicted that if 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. 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
