"Drink this, Mr. Elkin." Heather picked up a glass and handed it to Tyrone."Hattie, it's such a good opportunity, and you're only letting him drink?" Seth had been hoping she would ask something provocative, but his hopes were dashed."You can ask him for a car, a house, money—anything," Leonard suggested with a slightly mocking tone. After all, he viewed Heather as a gold digger.Heather's expression remained calm. "I don't need anything else. Mr. Elkin just needs to finish this glass."Seth's eyes suddenly lit up with realization. "I got it, Hattie. You intentionally gave Ty vodka, hoping to get him drunk, right?"Heather was stunned for a second.Only then did she realize the glass of drink she casually handed to Tyrone was vodka, the strongest drink of all. She felt extremely embarrassed.She wasn't trying to do what Seth suggested. "I didn't mean to. Let me get you another glass."However, Seth stopped her. "You can't switch glasses like that. He has to drink whatever you
Heather asked, "What do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Sharp?" Seth mischievously raised an eyebrow. "Didn't I tell you the first time we met that I had something to discuss with you? Come on. Let's go somewhere private to talk."Given the foot traffic at the staircase, it wasn't a suitable place for a conversation.Heather thought Seth was joking about needing to talk, but it turned out to be serious.Seth approached her because he wanted to be involved in Elkin Group's resort development project. He asked her to speak favorably to Tyrone to facilitate the partnership.The Sharp family had a political background and had long hoped Seth would follow suit, but he wasn't interested in politics. He had started several companies to prove himself through his achievements. If he couldn't make money, he would need to return home and take on a political position.After hearing Seth out, Heather shook her head. "Mr. Sharp, I didn't know about this project, and I have little influenc
Tyrone's deep voice carried a hint of dominance. It was incredibly pleasant to hear.Heather was taken aback, her thick eyelashes fluttering slightly. She replied in a calm tone, "I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not avoiding you.""You intentionally sent Ms. Jenkins to deliver documents for me. Isn't that avoiding me? Do you think I'd believe your excuse of being too busy?"Not only had she not delivered the document, but she had also been actively avoiding him that night, steering clear of any physical contact.Heather was somewhat puzzled. He had deliberately pulled her into the room just to talk about this?"I really was too busy. I'm not avoiding you," Heather stubbornly insisted.Yet, Tyrone didn't hold back from exposing her. "You slept with me, so now you're shy and don't dare to see me?"He paused and smirked. "When we were in bed, you didn't seem shy like this."In truth, she had been quite shy in bed at the beginning, not daring to look at him. Later, she
Caught off guard, Tyrone stumbled a step back from the push, causing him to hit the wall hard. He frowned and grunted.When he looked up, Heather was already gone.Inside the private room, Leonard and Seth were in conversation. They paused when they saw Heather rush in.Meanwhile, Siena was taking small bites of a slice of melon. When she noticed Heather's swollen lips, she flashed a meaningful smile.She teased, "You're finally back, Hattie. Come over. Let's eat some fruit together.""I'm sorry. I have something else to do. You guys enjoy yourselves." Heather hurriedly grabbed her bag and left."What happened? Hattie seemed perfectly fine earlier."Siena was puzzled, turning to Leonard beside her. "I think something's not right with her. Could Tyrone have bullied her?"While flirting with the woman beside him, Seth said with a smirk, "Don't worry. Ty has taken a liking to her now. He wouldn't bully her."Upon hearing him say "taken a liking", Siena frowned disapprovingly. It
"What do you mean?" Heather asked."I'll tell you what I mean somewhere else," Tyrone replied sharply before striding downstairs.His large hand tightly gripped Heather's slender wrist as he strode with long strides. Heather was pulled along, and she almost had to jog to keep up with his pace."Where are you taking me? Let go of me, Mr. Elkin! Mr. Elkin!"With wary eyes, Heather glared coldly at Tyrone's back. She struggled with all her might but still couldn't break free.She didn't understand what Tyrone was up to. Hadn't they agreed that it was just for that one night? Why was he still bothering her?Tyrone completely ignored her as he strode forward with long steps. He gripped her wrist tightly, keeping it firmly in his grasp.Soon, they reached the ground-floor lobby, where dim lighting and pounding music enveloped them."Tyrone Elkin, let go of me, or I'll call the police!"The growing sense of unease in Heather's heart overwhelmed her, prompting her to angrily call out
In the booth, Craig drank one glass after another. Beside him, Selena clung to his arm with a concerned expression. "Craig, stop drinking. You'll get drunk if you keep going.""Why did you force me to get married? Why... Do I not even have the right to drink? Hattie..."Craig pushed Selena away, tilting his head back to take a large gulp of alcohol. Under the dazzling lights, his gentle face looked desolate.All he could think of was Heather—the Heather who used to be coy with him, who used to smile at him, who said she no longer wanted him...His Hattie didn't want him anymore.That thought cut through his heart like a knife.As his glass emptied, Craig reached for the bottle on the table. His gaze flickered, and suddenly he saw a figure that looked just like Heather flash by. His entire body shook at once.But when he looked again, all he saw were men and women dancing on the dance floor. There was no sign of Heather.Yet, that woman's profile resembled Heather's too much. Th
Tyrone had switched to a Lamborghini today. The interior of the car wasn't particularly spacious.In the driver's seat, Tyrone held Heather in his arms. He pressed her soft body against the steering wheel and kissed her deeply.The quiet car was filled only with their amorous kissing sounds and occasional whimpering from Heather.Trapped in Tyrone's embrace, Heather had her hand pressed against his chest. Behind her was the hard steering wheel, and in front of her was his solid, warm chest. Her entire being was enveloped in his presence.Her lips hurt so much. She wished he could let go of her then and there.Yet. her lips were sealed shut, making her unable to speak. She felt like she was suffocating. Realizing that Tyrone wouldn't let her go, in her desperation, she suddenly bit down hard."Ugh!" Tyrone grunted with a frown.A taste of blood spread between their lips. His kissing paused for a few seconds, then suddenly intensified.The kiss, mixed with alcohol and the taste o
A man in a high position like Tyrone knew how to manipulate others by adeptly seizing the person's weakness.He had actually used Whitney to threaten Heather! Her face changed. "You can't do this. Whitney is very ill. If you send her back to prison, she'll die!""It's you who put her in that danger." Tyrone shifted the blame.He didn't care about anyone's life. He only cared about his interests, and he would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.Heather was at her wit's end. She hadn't expected to provoke him. "Why me?"She didn't understand. With Tyrone's status, he could have any woman he wanted. Why did he have to make things difficult for her?Why her?Tyrone gazed at the petite face of the woman in his arms. Her watery eyes, looking at him, were so clear and innocent.They made him want to shatter her.Her eyes were too captivating, and the taste of her body was irresistible to him.Tyrone pinched her chin with his slender fingers. As he looked at her, his gaze was fille
"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
