Caleb then said, "I've investigated what happened yesterday. Ms. Sutton was supposed to meet with Whitney at the cafe when the accident occurred. Craig saved her."Tyrone narrowed his eyes. "You sure she wasn't going to the cafe to see Craig?""I'm sure."Heather wasn't going there to see Craig but he was still willing to sacrifice himself to save her. It was obvious he still had feelings for her.Tyrone looked at the file and asked, "Why did Whitney want to see Heather?""Well… Maybe because they want to have a chat? As you understand, the Snyders have always been depending on Ms. Sutton so that they can gain benefits from you. It's nothing out of the ordinary for them to meet up."That was a reasonable conjecture.However, Tyrone felt something was off. He had a bad impression of Whitney. With a frown, he ordered, "Investigate Whitney.""Understood." Caleb had never dared to question Tyrone's orders.Tyrone picked up another file and flipped through it. After giving it a few
Heather couldn't help but reminisce about their past.However, she pulled her mind out from thinking about the memories.She walked over to Tyrone and gave his arm a push, asking gently, "Are you still angry?"Tyrone didn't even spare her a glance.Heather wanted to leave when she saw that Tyrone wasn't giving her any reaction.Tyrone suddenly grabbed Heather's wrist and pulled her back. She fell and plopped down on Tyrone's thigh. She looked up and saw Tyrone's cold eyes.Heather was confused.Tyrone was ignoring her but he refused to let her go at the same time. What did he want?With Heather's soft figure in his arms, and her sweet scent surrounding him, he could feel her scent overloading his senses. All he could smell was her.Tyrone didn't look at her and continued to work on the documents.He was a cold and prideful man. He couldn't make himself ask for peace, so he dragged her back so that she would coax him.But nothing happened after a while. He looked down and rea
Heather was woken up from her sleep when someone knocked on the car window.She opened her eyes and saw a woman wearing a maid uniform standing outside. She said, "Ms. Sutton, Ms. Ledston would like to speak to you."Heather didn't know when Tyrone would be done.Heather didn't want to go, but since Margaret had already sent someone to see her, she hesitated for a while before getting out of the car.The maid took her into the residence. The garden looked a little bleak in the middle of fall, but the maple leaves were blazing red.There was a table under the maple tree and Margaret was in a good mood as she made coffee. She was wearing a white dress and a scarf of maroon color."Ms. Sutton is here, Ms. Ledston," the maid said in a respectful tone.Margaret simply raised her hand and waved. "I have something I need to discuss with her. Tell the others to give us some privacy.""Understood."The maid then asked the other maids to leave together with her.After a short while, on
A terrible realization dawned on Heather.Everyone knew Tyrone would benefit the most from Greg ending up becoming a cripple.Tyrone never did anything to cripple Greg, but what about Margaret?Frederick didn't accept Tyrone all those years ago because he had Greg as his scion. But Margaret would be able to benefit from Tyrone's return into the household, given her position as his birth mother.Heather felt a chill down her spine as she looked at Margaret.Heather took a step in front and glared at Margaret. Then, she asked her in a hushed voice only they could hear, "You were the one behind the accident that crippled Greg?"There was a slight change in Margaret's expression. She hadn't expected Heather to ask her that.At this time, Heather's phone rang. It was Tyrone.There were mixed feelings in Heather's eyes and she didn't pick it up. Instead, she ended the call. She asked Margaret coldly, "Say it. Was it you?"Margaret stayed silent for a while as Heather glared at her
Half of Heather's face was a little numb but she said nothing after giving Greg a look.Margaret knew the news about them was fake.However, Greg still wanted to refer to Heather as his girlfriend. She was both taken aback and somewhat surprised."I never would have thought that you would fall for my son's woman too, Greg," Margaret said with a veiled sneer.Greg gave her a meaningful smile, the expression on his pale face cold. "There are plenty of things that both of us like at the same time. Why don't you make a guess on who can have them all?"He was implying something else.Margaret laughed dryly. "Now, you're making it sound like you're both strangers. Both of you are siblings and I have always been very thankful that you can accept him back into the family. Tyrone should let you have whatever you want."Greg simply smiled as he listened to her words. "We haven't met for so many years but you're even more disingenuous now."Margaret's expression froze."I heard you want
Ten years ago, Tyrone had saved a kitten in the forest that was less than a month old. Perhaps it was out of compassion and how they were in the same boat, he adored the kitten. He would take good care of it everyday, and the dying kitten slowly recovered.However, two months later, the butler took him to Frederick's study and he saw the corpse of the kitten laying on the floor. Its head had been severed from its body.Frederick told him that without his permission, Tyrone was not allowed to like anything.He was no longer the child who could not protect even a kitten decades ago. Heather would not end up like the kitten."Mr. Tyrone." The butler approached and greeted him with respect in his tone. "There's something I need to inform you about. Ms. Sutton and your mother had an argument in the garden and she was taken by Mr. Greg."Everyone could tell that the power dynamic in the Elkin household was going to change soon. The butler wanted to be on everyone's good side and didn't
"What are you thinking about?" Heather could feel chills down her spine from the way Greg was staring at her. "Tell your driver to stop. Tyrone is picking me—"Before she could even finish her sentence, the car braked in an emergency. As they didn't put on their seat belts, Heather was thrown forward due to inertia.Greg was also thrown forward. He could see Heather was going to slam her head into the seat in front of her and he extended his hand, grabbing her by the shoulder and pulling her back."Ah!""Ugh!"Heather was the one screaming. Because of the inertia, she didn't fall back into her seat. Instead, she fell right into Greg's arms and slammed into his plastered arm.Greg was the one who grunted because of the pain and even his face became a little paler.Heather was mostly on Greg and pushed him into the seat. She gritted her teeth as she massaged her head and crawled back up."Are you alright?""You did that intentionally, didn't you?"The two of them asked at the s
Once Tyrone and Heather were back in Magnolia Creek, Tyrone put Heather on the sofa and applied a cream on her swollen face.Heather hissed instinctively as she tried to move away."Did I hurt you?" Tyrone asked with a deep frown. "Hang on. I'll be gentle."It wasn't that painful, so Heather said nothing after giving him a smile.When Tyrone spread the cream on her wound using his fingers, the icy touch felt very comfortable on her warm skin.Heather looked at Tyrone's handsome face in front of her. His facial features were sharp."You want it?"Tyrone's voice rang as Heather came back to her senses, only to see Tyrone looking at her with dark and meaningful eyes. "Isn't it enough after feeding you today?"While his voice was low, the living room was very quiet and the maid who was cleaning some distance away felt her face becoming red.Heather was so embarrassed and simply gave him an annoyed look, but there were mixed feelings in her eyes. "Tyrone, what would you do if you f
