Tyrone made no mention of Fernando's attempt to assault Heather, sparing her reputation. Still, the onlookers weren't oblivious. They noticed Heather was wearing a man's suit jacket, and the color matched Tyrone's slacks perfectly—it was clearly his. But everyone knew Heather was dating Greg, the second son of the Elkin family. Thoughts began to stir among the crowd. It was becoming obvious that the illegitimate daughter of the Snyder family wasn't just involved with Greg, but also had some kind of close relationship with Tyrone, the third son of the Elkins. With ties like this, the Snyder family was bound to rise in status. To those watching, aligning with the Snyders now appeared to be a smart move. Fernando's parents' face turned pale. They hadn't expected Fernando to offend Tyrone and were too shocked to speak. Meanwhile, Thomas couldn't hide his satisfaction. "Mr. Elkin, I apologize for not welcoming you properly. We didn't expect you to grace us with your presence.
Because of Heather's casual mention of missing him, Tyrone had come. She stared at Tyrone's handsome face, feeling the alcohol hit her harder, making her a bit light-headed. She reached out, wrapping her arms around his neck and resting her head on his shoulder. His familiar scent filled her lungs, sinking deep into her being. "Are you drunk?" Tyrone asked, noticing the faint smell of alcohol on her breath. "I'm dizzy," Heather murmured. "Why did you stay?" She had always thought Tyrone disliked the Snyder family and would leave as soon as possible. Her gentle, sweet tone made it sound like she was whining. Tyrone's eyes darkened slightly as his long fingers began to massage her temples, avoiding her question. "Do you know him?" he asked. Fernando was lucky to still be walking after daring to lay a hand on Heather. Tyrone had wanted to confront him but had let him go only because she had asked. Heather explained, "His name is Fernando. He was my college classmate. He
"Mm," Heather responded in her dreamy state.Tyrone didn't say anything more. He lifted her up in his arms and headed outside.Because of Tyrone, none of the guests left early tonight. They all waited downstairs, eager for another chance to meet him and strike up a conversation.At that moment, he appeared at the top of the stairs.The crowd looked up.They saw Tyrone, dressed in a white shirt and black slacks, carrying Heather, who seemed to have fallen asleep.Her forehead rested on his shoulder, and her face was covered by Tyrone's oversized suit jacket. The luxurious dress she wore flowed smoothly down, revealing her snow-white, slender legs and her golden high heels.As he walked downstairs, her soft skirt swayed gently. His aloofness and her feminine softness intertwined, like something out of a movie poster.Tyrone didn't glance at anyone as he walked down the stairs, heading straight for the door.Those guests who had been hoping to approach him didn't dare speak up. I
Tyrone's words were merciless. After all, not everyone could earn Tyrone's favor.Thomas looked embarrassed, but he could only force a smile. "Mr. Elkin, you and Hattie have such a good relationship. You are right, it's all because of Hattie."Tyrone ignored him. His cold, dark eyes were fixed on Whitney.His intense gaze made her spine tingle. Forcing a smile, Whitney said, "Tyrone, we all hope that your relationship with Heather grows stronger and that you two can be happy together.""Is that really what you hope for?" Tyrone's voice was as cold as ice.Whitney was momentarily stunned, but she quickly said, "Of course, that's what I hope for. Tyrone, why would you ask that?"Tyrone's gaze was sharp as he glared at her. "Then why was Fernando in the garden?"Whiteny looked shocked. Could Tyrone have found out something?No, if he already knew, he wouldn't be asking her this.She quickly calmed herself and replied with a confused expression, "I don't know why he was in the gar
However, these were all just speculations without any concrete evidence.Tyrone looked down at Whitney. "If anything happens to her again and you're involved, I'll make sure you never find a donor for a transplant for the rest of your life."Without sparing her another glance, he turned and got into the car.Caleb closed the door, and the car quickly drove off.Whitney bit her lip, watching the car disappear. Her eyes flashed with jealousy and hatred.It was a perfectly orchestrated plan, and yet Heather had escaped again!"Are you sure you had nothing to do with Fernando?" Thomas asked, his voice suddenly turning cold.Whitney's gaze flickered, and she looked up with a pitiful expression. "Dad, do you suspect me too?""I just think it was strange that Fernando suddenly appeared in the garden."Thomas knew Fernando wasn't invited tonight, and he couldn't make sense of the situation. His expression darkened as he warned Whitney, "We don't have any ties with Tyrone. Everything w
"Why should I help you cut it?" Heather said, looking baffled."The other day in the car, you hit my arm and made it worse."Greg pointed to the arm sling around his chest and said with a serious expression, "If I hadn't pulled you back in time, you would've hit your head and probably broken your neck."His meaning was clear. He thought he saved Heather so asking her to cut a sandwich for him isn't too much to ask. Shouldn't Heather be taking care of him?"Who even needs to cut a sandwich into pieces? You could just use your other hand to pick it up and eat it.""I always cut my sandwiches," Greg replied with a straight face."Well, I'm not cutting it. Eat it however you want," Heather shot back.These wealthy men and their ridiculous habits.She had no intention of catering to his unreasonable demand and pushed the plate back to him.At that moment, a maid brought over her breakfast. Heather picked up her glass of milk, took a sip, and began to eat. Greg, clearly annoyed, mum
"Ms. Sutton, Mr. Elkin." Fernando's mother quickly stood up to greet them.Greg, who was usually more perceptive, immediately noticed Fernando's unusual mental state. He raised an eyebrow in mild surprise but smiled politely at Fernando's mother. "Hi, I hope we didn't disturb you. Hattie and I just came to check on Fernando."Jane was flattered, but she quickly replied, "Of course not."Having been a wife of a wealthy man for many years, she was smart and immediately understood the relationship between Heather, Tyrone, and Greg.Heather walked over to Fernando and asked softly, "Fernando, are you okay? I need to ask you something. Can we talk?"Fernando remained silent for a moment before slowly looking up. He said guiltily, "Hattie, I'm sorry."With the mental capacity of a three-year-old, Fernando probably didn't even understand what he had done yesterday.Heather smiled gently. "I forgive you. Don't worry, we're still friends. But can you tell me why you were at the Snyders'
Heather stopped walking and looked back, and Fernando kept nodding with a serious look on his face.It was not just Selena who wanted to harm her. There were others too!"Another woman? Do you know who this woman is?" Heather quickly asked.Fernando shook his head. "I don't know."A gleam of hope flashed in Heather's eyes. "Then, do you know her age? What does she look like?"Fernando thought hard for a moment, then slowly shook his head again. "I didn't see her, so I don't know."Heather frowned. "What do you mean you didn't see her? Have you never met this person?"Fernando still shook his head. "I didn't see her."When Whitney was in the car with Selena, Fernando wasn't paying attention to her. Later, he only focused on Heather in the garden and didn't notice Whitney's appearance at all. He had only heard a woman's voice speaking in the car but didn't know what she looked like, so he couldn't describe her.Heather didn't quite understand what he meant by "didn't see her". Af
"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
