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
Tyrone pulled his hand out of Heather's skirt and cleaned his fingers with a tissue while looking at her with a half-smile.He had a scorching look in his eyes, which made Heather tremble. She bit her lip and glared at him in an accusing manner. "You promised not to touch me this week.""Did I?" Tyrone asked righteously.Her glare seemed fierce, but those teary eyes had no murderous intent at all. Instead, they were quite charming.Teasing her actually made him even more uncomfortable.Tyrone's gaze darkened. He took her soft hand in his large ones before saying in a deep, hoarse voice, "Help me, then I'll let you go tonight, okay?"The implication in his eyes was obvious.The hardness she felt under her hand made Heather's cheeks flush. Just then, her phone suddenly rang. It was an incoming call from an unfamiliar number."I have a call. It might be work-related. I'll take my leave now."Heather seized the opportunity as if it were her lifeline. She quickly grabbed her bag, o
They rode the buggy toward the rest area.Caleb said that Tyrone was in a meeting and it wouldn't be proper for her to disturb him, so she could only wait there.Heather looked toward the golf course, where she saw several people walking slowly with golf clubs on the wide green lawn.With just one glance, she spotted two men with similar height engaging in conversation. Her gaze fell on the man in white athleisurewear—Tyrone.From that distance, she couldn't see his face clearly, but his outstanding presence made him stand out in the crowd. There were about seven to eight people in the group, including two to three women. Anna was walking beside Tyrone when she suddenly staggered and looked like she was about to fall. It was then that Tyrone, who was standing beside her, reached out to catch her. They exchanged some words before Tyrone lifted her and walked toward the rest area."Ms. Sutton, it seems like Ms. Jenkins twisted her foot, right?" Caleb seemed to be explaining on beh
Tyrone wasn't angry. Instead, he raised his thin lips with interest.No woman had dared to argue with him before. But Heather's actions didn't displease him. Instead, it amused him.His casual attitude ignited a fire in Heather's heart. "Tyrone Elkin, Whitney has no grudges against you. She's innocent! Why would you want to harm her?"She was like a lioness with her fur ruffled, which only amused Tyrone further. He reached out to ruffle her hair, making her embarrassed suddenly, and she quickly turned her head to avoid his touch.Tyrone's large hand froze in mid-air and squinted slightly. Then, he suddenly ruffled her hair forcefully. The domineering action disheveled her hair. Heather was pressed against the wall by Tyrone, so she couldn't escape.He was too overbearing and always had to get what he wanted, even in trivial matters like ruffling her hair."I've said it before. I wasn't the one who wanted to harm her. You're the one deciding her fate."After he had enough, Tyro
Caleb quickly found out the whereabouts of Macey and Whitney.Two hours ago, someone had entered the hospital and taken the two to a warehouse in the suburbs. People had been sent to rescue them. Whitney had been frightened and lost consciousness, while Macey had been injured. They were on their way back to the hospital."Did you find out who did it?" Tyrone asked expressionlessly."Mr. Elkin, the kidnappers escaped, and our people were busy rescuing the women. So, we haven't found out the kidnappers' background yet," Caleb responded respectfully.Tyrone's voice was very cold when he said, "You are becoming more inefficient lately!"Although Caleb had located Macey and Whitney in such a short time, Tyrone wasn't satisfied, making Caleb feel uneasy."Mr. Elkin, we will speed up the investigation!""I don't care how you do it. Find them!"Tyrone hung up the phone and stared at Heather with a dark expression. "They've been found. Go to the hospital!"With that, he walked out of
Caleb had classified these foods according to star ratings, with five stars being the worst. From the list he had sent, it was clear that Tyrone hated chitlins and strong-smelling foods. Heather looked at the long list, feeling speechless. To think that there are people who even dislike oranges and grapes. Tyrone was picky with his food, yet he didn't suffer from malnutrition. He even had a tall build. Rich people were tough to serve. After a while, Caleb sent over bags of ingredients, except for some costly vegetables. Heather sorted them out and put them in the refrigerator before she picked a few dishes to cook in the kitchen. "Oops!" Heather accidentally knocked over a bottle of barbecue sauce, and it stained her skirt.She frowned and quickly rinsed it with water, but the more she rinsed, the more the stain spread around her clothes, and the skirt got wet. It was impossible to clean it off. The sauce on her skirt made her smell like barbecue all over. The living
