Tyrone's eyes remained indifferent as he hummed in response. Heather's pupils quivered. So, he had been acting all along."We know everything. Are you going to deny meeting Mr. Greg?" Caleb's usual politeness had vanished, replaced by a chilly demeanor.Heather remained silent.Still holding her waist with one arm, Tyrone picked up the small bottle from the coffee table and tossed it to Caleb.Caleb instinctively caught it, but he was slightly bewildered. "Mr. Elkin, this is—""The drug that Greg gave her," Tyrone replied coldly."What?"The drug was in Heather's possession. Tyrone's words seemed to imply that Heather had handed it over willingly.The situation had taken a turn far beyond Caleb's expectations. He looked at Heather in astonishment. She hadn't intended to harm Tyrone after all.Greg was resourceful and generous. Yet, Heather, despite her poverty, hadn't wavered."What are you thinking?" Tyrone lowered his eyes to Heather, who remained silent in his arms.Hea
Tyrone sat on the couch and casually took off his tie. Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number.The phone rang for a long time before it was answered. He could hear a man's voice coming through. "Tyrone, it's already so late. What's up?""Greg, do you know a scientist called Charlie King?" Tyrone's voice was calm and emotionless."Hmm, that famous astronomer? Do you want to recruit him?" Greg's tone was casual, as if he didn't have any ulterior motives.Tyrone replied calmly, "I heard he has ALS and has become completely paralyzed. It's a miracle that he's still alive. Greg, you just can't walk. You're in a much better situation than him. Do you want to become the second miracle?"Tyrone's cold voice suddenly became harsh. "Greg Elkin, if you touch my people again, you'll become the second Charlie!"Compared to Greg's hypocrisy, Tyrone had always been straightforward, never pretentious. So, his threats were direct and cruel.Greg hung up the phone directly. Tyrone's eyes
"Ms. Sutton, it's great to work at Elkin Group. Just stay. By the way, we've fixed the door of your apartment." Caleb thought this news would make Heather a little happier.Tyrone wouldn't let her resign. Regardless of whether she was willing, she had to continue working at Elkin Group. Any resistance was just futile."Thank you. I'll get my phone and get ready for work." Heather felt annoyed as she got up and walked toward the bedroom."Mr. Elkin, don't you think Ms. Sutton seems to be in a bad mood?"Caleb looked at Heather's back in confusion, but when he turned around, he saw that Tyrone was staring at him coldly. He felt a sudden thud in his heart.Tyrone then said in an icy tone, "Did you need to fix it so quickly?"Caleb became speechless.…After a busy morning, Heather went to the company cafeteria for lunch.She took the elevator to the floor where the cafeteria was located and walked past a fire exit. It was then that she heard a woman's moan."Don't… Ah…"Heath
Two hours before the end of the work day, Caleb came to inform Heather that she needed to accompany Tyrone for dinner.She was allowed to leave earlier and head to a stylist for a makeover."Mr. Hall, I have a part-time job tonight. Can I skip dinner?"Caleb smiled and said, "Ms. Sutton, I'm just a messenger. If you don't want to go, you need to talk to Mr. Elkin."What was the point of talking to Tyrone? He wouldn't agree anyway.Heather had no choice but to call Scarlett for a leave, and then she hurried to the stylist.It was a very famous stylist, and many of the celebrities' trending styles were made by her.The stylist, who had received advance notice, greeted Heater at the door. She bowed and escorted Heather to a VIP seat. Then, she asked Heather what style of makeover she preferred.After three hours of fussing around, Heather finally had her makeup done and changed into a light pink long dress at the stylist's request.The dress gave off a fairy-like vibe with its of
"What's the matter?" Tyrone's expression was indifferent.Selena was the daughter of Winnie Elkin, the Elkins' eldest daughter and Tyrone's sister. Their relationship with Tyrone had always been mediocre.Knowing that Tyrone was always cold to people, Selena smiled and glanced at Heather with a mischievous look in her eyes. She said, "Uncle Ty, this is my husband, Craig Simpson. You were abroad when we got married, so you missed our wedding."She seemed unaware of Craig's unpleasant expression as she smiled and introduced him. "Craig, this is the uncle I often mentioned to you. He's the president of Elkin Group, and a very powerful man."Craig certainly knew who Tyrone was. Everyone in Royalton knew who the "King of the Business World" was.For the sake of appearances, Craig extended his hand to Tyrone and greeted politely, "Mr. Elkin, nice to meet you. I'm Craig Simpson."He didn't address Tyrone like Selena did, nor was he enthusiastic about meeting Tyrone. Instead, he seemed
Heather turned around and left without looking back. Selena hadn't expected Heather to refuse her.Staring coldly at Heather's back, she thought to herself that if Heather wanted to be shameless, then she would expose her shamelessness!On the other hand, Heather found Selena's request ridiculous. She had been betrayed by Craig, and now she was expected to be the sacrifice for Selena's stable marriage.Why should she be sacrificed? Were all the Elkins this unreasonable?Holding her dress in hand, Heather walked out and saw Craig standing not far away from the corridor. There was only one exit in this corridor. So, she stopped for a moment before continuing expressionlessly, walking past Craig.At that moment, Craig suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm. Then, he called out to her in a somewhat hoarse voice, "Hattie.""Let go of me!" Heather didn't look at him, but her expression was cold."Hattie, why are you with Tyrone?" Craig tightened his grip on her arm, questioning
It was really quiet in the car.Heather didn't speak. She just sat quietly in Tyrone's arms. Her dark hair fell casually on her fair shoulders, accentuating her delicate skin.How did she have such fair skin? Tyrone lowered his gaze to her shoulder and suddenly felt an urge—he wanted to bite her!He had never been someone who held himself back. So, he tightened his arm around her waist and lowered his head until his lips touched Heather's shoulder. Then, he opened his mouth and bit her!He really bit her!When he pressed down his slightly cool lips, the cold touch made Heather shiver slightly. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain on her shoulder. She couldn't help but frown in pain, a muffled cry escaping her lips.Tyrone actually bit her!Was he insane?Heather struggled, but Tyrone's arm held her tightly in his embrace. She couldn't break free at all.It was really painful."Tyrone, let go of me!" Heather couldn't help but shout.Caleb, who was driving in front, stole a glanc
"What are you looking at?"Heather was still eating when Tyrone asked in his deep voice. She withdrew her gaze and smiled before saying, "I'm looking at the pavilion in the garden. The carvings on the roof of the pavilion are very lifelike."She pointed to the pavilion to show him.Tyrone just glanced at it indifferently. He wasn't interested in the carvings; he was only interested in chatting with her. "Did you study architecture?"Heather shook her head. "No, I didn't. I just read about ancient architecture before. Well, I actually wanted to study architecture in college, but I had to give up and switch to literature.""Why did you give up?""I didn't have enough money. Architecture is a major that requires a lot of dedication, but I needed time to work."The money the Snyders gave her hadn't been enough for tuition and living expenses, but she had felt embarrassed to ask them for more money. So, she had started working to earn her own.Heather's eyes looked a little sad when
