Heather frowned. "Why should I go with you?""Aren't you my girlfriend? We've been invited as a couple to the banquet," Greg said. "I'm not going."Greg said in a casual tone, "If you don't go, people will start to wonder if we're having problems. When they ask me, what if I accidentally let it slip about you and Tyrone..."Heather gave him a stern stare. "Are you planning to blackmail me with this forever? Greg, I saved your life!"Her expression was cold as she added, "Announce our breakup, and I will consider that as you thanking me."Greg chuckled. "When did I ever say I want to thank you?"Heather wanted to punch him. She knew Greg would actually do it. To take revenge on Tyrone, he would actually spread rumors without hesitation.With Tyrone's status, even the smallest scandal could shake his company's stock prices.But it wasn't about the loss. It was about Greg and his cunningness.Heather pressed her lips together. "I'll let you stay here and even keep up the act wi
Late into the night.Heather, exhausted, fell into a deep sleep.Tyrone, wearing a bathrobe, stood by the bed, watching her for a moment. He reached out and put the blanket on her. Then, he gently touched her delicate chin before turning and leaving quietly.He headed to the study room, sat in his chair, and took out his phone to make a call."Tyrone, what a surprise to get a call from you!"Margaret sounded surprised but delighted. It had been a long time since she had heard from him.Tyrone, sitting there, said with a cold tone, "Heather is my woman. My affairs are none of your business. Don't show up in front of her again or say anything to upset her."Margaret froze. Her voice was displeased. "Did she complain to you? Tyrone, how can you speak to me like this because of another woman? I'm your mother!"She couldn't believe he was warning her to stay away from Heather!Her son was clearly completely seduced by Heather!"Just remember what I said."Tyrone had no interest i
Heather trembled all over. After being with Tyrone for so long, she knew exactly what he wanted to do at this moment. She pleaded, "No, I'm too tired."He knew he needed to let her rest today.Tyrone's gaze lingered on her slightly swollen lips, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. "Then use it to help me."Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, breaking the warm tension in the room.Tyrone frowned in annoyance and turned toward the door. "What is it?""Tyrone, Greg asked me to bring Ms. Sutton's clothes." Cynthia's voice came from outside.Tyrone's expression turned icy as he glanced down at Heather.Heather shook her head to show she had no idea what was going on.…Two minutes later, the bedroom door opened.Tyrone stood there, and a hickey was still visible on his collarbone. His demeanor was both aloof and sensual as he asked, "What clothes?""Tyrone, Greg said this is Ms. Sutton's dress for today's luncheon."Sitting on the bed, Heather rolled her eyes when she heard th
As soon as Tyrone and Greg met, tension filled the air.Heather shot Greg a glare and said, "He's just trying to rile you up on purpose. Don't get angry with him. Aren't you supposed to have a meeting? Let's go. Don't waste time on him."Tyrone didn't spare Greg a glance and strode toward the door.Watching their backs with a smirk, Greg's assistant respectfully asked, "Greg, are you planning to stay here any longer?""Don't you find it interesting?" Greg narrowed his eyes.He used to think killing Tyrone would be fun, but recently, he had found his new hobby.He was curious to see how long this couple would last.The three left the villa. Tyrone got into a black Maybach, while Greg and Heather entered another car. The two cars drove away from the villa, one following the other.…The banquet was held at another villa, hosted by one of Greg's business partners.However, his real purpose for attending was to meet a representative of a foreign conglomerate.The moment Greg and
Heather picked up the phone without checking the number and asked, "Tyrone, what now?""Hattie, it's me." Whitney's voice came through the phone.Heather was taken aback. "Do you need something?""Hattie, I won first place in my school's art competition yesterday! I wanted to give you the painting as a gift. Are you free to meet me?"Whitney's nervous tone made it hard for Heather to refuse."Can you send me the address? I'll be there in a while," Heather replied."Great! I'll be waiting for you!"Whitney exclaimed happily before hanging up. Soon, she sent Heather the location of a café.She and Greg had been playing their parts well at the banquet. Since it was already halfway through, she figured it wouldn't be a problem to find an excuse to leave early.She stood up and headed toward the villa's main door as she sent a message to Greg."I have something else to do and I'm leaving now."As she was looking down at her phone, she didn't notice the corner ahead and bumped rig
A steel pipe slammed heavily onto Craig's head!He frowned and let out a painful groan. The next second, bright red blood started to stream down his forehead.He was injured.The steel pipes scattered across the ground. Heather quickly helped Craig sit up. He clenched his teeth, his face pale, and the scene of blood soaking his white shirt was shocking."Craig, are you okay? How are you feeling?" Heather asked anxiously."Oh my God! Mr. Simpson!" Craig's assistant rushed over. His face turned pale when he saw the scene.Craig's face was deathly pale, and he seemed a bit dazed from the blow."Don't worry, I'll call the ambulance right away."Heather took out her phone to make the call, but Craig suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, "You can't call the ambulance. Take me home and call a doctor!"Heather said, "You're seriously injured! How can you not go to the hospital?"Craig shook his head. "The Simpson family is under public scrutiny. If I go to the hospital and word gets ou
"Hattie, the Huntington family has already collapsed, and you've achieved what you wanted. The Elkin family is now in a very complicated situation. Winnie has been arrested, and many of the elders are dissatisfied with Tyrone. "Not to mention, Greg especially hates him. Being with Tyrone is dangerous. You must leave him!" Craig urged.After hearing his words, Heather frowned. "It was Greg who went after Winnie. Shouldn't the elders be displeased with him? Why are they unhappy with Tyrone?"Craig's expression darkened. He had just told her that staying with Tyrone was dangerous, yet she only cared about why the elders were displeased with him."Hattie, do you care about him that much? More than your own safety?" he thought. Pain and disappointment flashed in Craig's eyes. Not wanting to see her worried about Tyrone, he looked away and said, "I only know that the elders have held a grudge against Tyrone for a long time. Now, it seems they've allied with Greg to go against him. I d
Craig's words gripped Heather's heart, and it was as if a hand was squeezing it. She felt a sore ache spread through her whole body.She blinked and said, "Craig, it's over between us. Let's forget about the past."Craig looked deeply at her. "I've tried, but I can't. Every time I close my eyes, I think of the time we spent together. Those memories are engraved in my mind!"If he could forget, he wouldn't be living every day in pain—pain from losing her.Heather frowned. "If you don't let go, you're just torturing yourself. I…""What are you doing?"A cold, familiar voice suddenly cut through the air.Heather trembled and turned around, utterly shocked by what she saw. Not far away stood Tyrone, his icy, terrifying eyes fixed on them. There was a terrifying aura surrounding him.Beside Tyrone was Selena, who was glaring angrily at Heather.Craig glanced at them, his eyes resting on Selena for a second. A trace of mockery flickered across his gaze, but he didn't release Heather
