Heather wondered if Tyrone thought she was a fool. She had brushed off the gossip about him and Regina earlier, but seeing the lipstick stain on his shirt left her feeling truly disappointed. Tyrone pulled her tightly into his arms, examining the shade of her lipstick, which was clearly different from the one on his shirt.Frowning, he said, "Listen to me, okay?" "I don't want to hear it!"The thought of him cuddling with another woman and then turning around to flirt with her made Heather feel repulsed. She struggled to free herself, but Tyrone swiftly scooped her up, sat down on the couch, and pinned her legs between his, holding her wrists firmly. Heather glared at him with reddened eyes, unable to move. Even in anger, there was an allure about her that he found hard to resist. Tyrone held back his urge to kiss her and gazed at her intently."I don't have another woman. During a lunch meeting, someone made a toast, and maybe that's when the mark got on me. "I didn't n
Tyrone couldn't stay serious for long, and Heather didn't want to engage with him. He held her in his arms on the couch while he called Caleb to arrange food and clean clothes. Soon, the waiter delivered a spread of exquisite dishes, filling the large dining table with Heather's favorite foods."Mr. Elkin, here are your clothes," Caleb said, placing the bag on the couch. "The other board members are still waiting for you to return. You…""Can't you see I'm busy? Just come up with an excuse to send them away. Do I really have to teach you how to handle this?" Tyrone's impatience was evident. "Yes, Mr. Elkin," Caleb replied, glancing helplessly at the table full of food before turning to leave. The serious business he mentioned was just having lunch with Heather. Caleb knew that whenever Heather was around, Tyrone lost himself in her beauty—no, it was about relaxing. … Feeling hungry, Heather picked up her spoon and started eating. Tyrone stood up, removed his suit jack
"Are you still jealous over that woman? I already explained everything to you," Tyrone said. He knew exactly what Heather meant but chose not to acknowledge it. The sky outside suddenly darkened, as if a storm were brewing, and the light in the room dimmed, dispelling the warm, intimate atmosphere that had filled the space just moments before. Heather didn't want to play games. "The Simpson Group you mentioned earlier—is it the same Simpson family?" She knew Tyrone had always disliked Craig, but she didn't expect him to target the Simpsons. Just hearing Craig's name irritated Tyrone, and his tone turned icy. "Are you planning to argue with me over your ex-boyfriend?" He didn't give a direct answer, but they both knew the truth. "Why are you going after them?" she asked. "Business competition." That excuse was too flimsy. Heather didn't believe him. "Is it really business competition, or is it because of what happened between me and Craig? Are you still bothered by i
Tyrone and Hector had few interactions with each other. However, Hector was not a nobody, and they were both from the same social circle. That was why they still needed to maintain some courtesy with each other.Once Heather's figure could no longer be seen in the corridor, there was a hint of seriousness on Hector's handsome face. "That's your brother's girlfriend, isn't she? Can you please introduce me to her? I wish to speak to her."Hector had already run a background check on Heather during this short time. However, he only managed to find out she was Greg's girlfriend, and that she was a screenwriter. He also found some photos, that was all.Heather resembled Hector's aunt in the photos, and he had a feeling that Heather might be his aunt's daughter."You're interested in my woman?" Tyrone asked.Hector remained silent as he quickly realized the hostility in Tyrone's cold tone. Even his usually brilliant mind froze a little when he heard Tyrone describing her as "his woman".
"Stop teasing me, honey!"A woman's exaggeratedly girly voice came from inside the stall, and both Selena and Vivian had goosebumps from hearing it.What it sounded like to Selena and Vivian was that the owner of the phone didn't hang up, but she picked up the call and was listening to the person from the other side instead.Selena sighed in relief. However, there was someone else in the washroom, so they couldn't continue their conversation there anymore.She gave Vivian a look and the two of them headed to the door together."Alright!"In the bathroom stall, Heather continued with her act as she held her phone with one hand while tightening her other hand on her throat.She listened to the footsteps outside carefully. She then quietly opened the stall and peeked outside from the gap. She immediately saw a familiar figure heading to the door.It was Selena.So, Selena made such a huge lie so that she could avoid being imprisoned. She never was pregnant.Heather had been dece
"Don't let her get away!" Selena screamed.Heather ran out of the wooden house and she was blinded by the bright light outside. However, she kept on running even as she stumbled, undeterred by the light.Yet, the man had also managed to catch up with her and grabbed her."Let go of me! Let go!""Hold… Hold this whore on the ground. I'm going to teach her a lesson today!" Selena said as she caught up with them while holding her stomach.The man managed to capture Heather and said seriously, "The entire city is looking for her, Ms. Selena. They might be able to find you by following their leads, so you should head back right now."Everyone knew Selena and Heather were enemies.Now that Heather had gone missing, Selena would easily become the number one suspect."Please head home. Leave this woman to me."Selena walked to Heather and gave Heather two more slaps.Heather could only endure the stinging pain on her face as she gritted her teeth, glaring at Selena."No one can save
Tyrone's eyes were full of murderous intent. Caleb could feel his hair standing on end as he lowered his head with a serious expression. "Our men still can't find any traces of Ms. Heather from the security cameras, sir."Tyrone frowned. Then a scoff came from next to him. "Rubbish."The one who spoke was Greg.Caleb knew he was in the wrong for not being able to find anything about Heather, so he didn't even bother to defend himself."What about that Huntington woman? Didn't you say that she was Heather's enemy, and she was most likely behind this? Didn't you find anything suspicious about her at all?"This time, Hector was the one who asked with a frown.Hector was planning to officially introduce himself to Heather that day, but he didn't expect she would go missing. He followed Tyrone because he wasn't fully sure Heather was truly his aunt's daughter as well.Caleb shook his head. "Our men have been tailing her, and she has been accompanying Craig's mother in the hospital. S
At the hospital, Selena was sitting by Evelyn's bedside and she was massaging Evelyn's legs."Selena, there's no need for you to do this. I can always ask the nurse from the rehabilitation ward to give me a massage. You should take a rest after working so hard this morning."Evelyn was having her back against the bedhead weakly.Selena smiled and said, "The nurses are outsiders, after all. They'll do it because they'll get paid, but they won't take it seriously. I'm not that tired so you don't have to worry.""Our family is lucky for someone as good as you to marry into our family. It's all Craig's fault for being blinded by the seductress and unable to see how good you are as a person. But don't worry, as long as I'm around, you'll forever be a part of our family.""Evelyn…"Selena's eyes turned red as if she wanted to cry out of sadness."Don't worry, Selena. It's true that Craig is obsessed with someone else right now, but once you two have your child, all you need to focus o
