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
All Margaret did was give Heather a slap and he reduced her monthly allowance to ten thousand dollars. What could she do with ten thousand dollars? It wasn't enough to even pay for her driver!Margaret could feel the anger boiling inside of her when she realized Tyrone was doing this for Heather."You ignored my warning.""No, absolutely not. Ten thousand dollars won't be enough for me. Are you trying to starve me?" Margaret questioned him.Tyrone sneered. "Any common man will be able to live a comfortable life with ten thousand dollars as a monthly allowance. It's up to you how you want to spend the money. You can starve once you have spent it all."Margaret could only glare at her phone after he hung up.It was difficult to return to a humble life after living so lavishly for a long time.Ever since Tyrone had returned to the Elkin household, she had lived the high life for more than 20 years. It wouldn't be enough for her if suddenly she only had a monthly allowance of ten th
Craig whispered to Heather and said, "Tyrone is rich and influential so you're afraid to leave him. Don't be afraid. I'll create an opening for you to leave him."Heather could hear something was off from his tone and she said with a frown, "Craig, what are you doing? Don't do anything rash. I won't be with you, so don't do anything to cross Tyrone. It's not worth it, so calm down."Heather said "I won't be with you" so effortlessly, as if she didn't even need to think about it to say those words.Craig felt like he was simply torturing himself.Despite all the painful words she said, he still couldn't hate her. He couldn't even get upset."Hattie, I'm not asking you to stay with me. I just want to give you your freedom back," Craig said in a low tone.Heather wasn't sure what he meant. "Craig, don't do it. You've only managed to rebuild the Simpson family after so much effort, and crossing Tyrone would make everything you did pointless.""Hattie, Tyrone's a human too. He's not
"Ms. Sutton, we are from the auction house. Since Mr. Elkin and you didn't go to the auction house yesterday, he asked us to bring the available lots here to let you choose so they won't be purchased by someone else. I can introduce to you anything that catches your eyes," the middle-aged man explained with a smile.Heather was surprised. "You're letting me choose? Isn't this a little too ludicrous?"Tyrone held her waist and raised his eyebrow, saying in an indifferent tone, "No need to budget for me."Everything on the table were antiques that were supposed to be on auction yesterday.Caleb was standing nearby with a checkbook ready.He once again learned something new from his boss about how to love his woman. Who else could make his lover pick and choose antiques like something from a flea market?Not to mention that the company had set up a work department just on collecting information on ancient architecture. There was no limit to how much Tyrone was spoiling Heather.Hea
"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
