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
In the kitchen, Heather turned around to grab a soup bowl, only to suddenly see Tyrone standing not far away, startling her unexpectedly. "Mr. Elkin, are you done with your work?" Heather put down the ladle and awkwardly tugged at the hem of her shirt. "Sorry. My skirt got dirty, so I had to borrow your clothes." Although it wasn't the first time she had worn his clothes, Heather still felt embarrassed. No matter how much she tugged at the hem of the shirt, it could only cover up to the middle of her thighs. Tyrone narrowed his eyes. He liked seeing her wearing his clothes, but at this moment, he wondered if she intended to eat with him dressed like that. Heather shifted uncomfortably under his gaze. She quickly changed the subject. "Dinner will be ready soon. Why don't you go to the dining room and wait?" Tyrone's gaze swept over her bare legs, and the image of those legs wrapped around his waist flashed through his mind. Without another word, he walked to the dining
Heather breathed a sigh of relief at this thought. She was fine as long as Tyrone wasn't involved. "From now on, you'll live with me," Tyrone said. "Huh? Why?" Heather was a bit puzzled. Tyrone said calmly, "Those who attacked were just minions. There are people behind them. Since they know I intervened to save someone, they will surely be curious why I did it. "They may fear me, but if they find out that I saved those women because of you, they might not hesitate to target you. You'll be safe by my side, okay?" Heather hadn't thought of that. She stared blankly at the cold, handsome man before her. She was overwhelmed with emotions at the thought that he was worried for her safety. Heather bit her lip. "It won't come to that, right?" She didn't want to move in. It would give others the wrong idea if she and Tyrone lived together. It would seem like cohabitation. Tyrone let out a cold laugh, his icy voice firm. "Don't be such a fool to test your chances. It's settle
When Heather came to her senses again, she found herself in bed with Tyrone's body pressing down against her, making it impossible for her to escape. "Mr. Elkin!" He kissed her again, and Heather suddenly turned away, breathing heavily. Her thick eyelashes trembled violently. "You can't force me. It isn't time yet." Tyrone looked down at her with a dark, unreadable gaze. In fact, every time this happened, Heather was a little afraid of Tyrone. First, because at these times, she was no match for Tyrone. Second, because he made her hurt in bed. It was pleasurable at first, but later, all she felt was pain. No matter how much she hurt, Tyrone wouldn't let her go, so her memory of these encounters was just pain.Her fear had reached its limits. She had a burst of courage and turned to meet Tyrone's dark gaze. "Mr. Elkin, you should be a man of your word, right?" Tyrone stared at her with dark eyes and gritted coldly as he took her hand. "If you won't let me touch you, we
Heather recalled Tyrone's deep voice and blushed. She pushed aside those wild thoughts, got out of bed, and walked into the bathroom. After changing clothes and stepping out, she walked all the way to the living room but didn't see Tyrone. "Are you off to work?" a woman asked respectfully from behind. Turning around, Heather saw a middle-aged woman in a uniform and apron standing in the dining room with an eager smile. It was Lucy Wilson, Tyrone's housekeeper. "Mrs. Elkin, you're awake," Lucy said. "I've prepared breakfast. It'll be ready soon. Please wait." Heather smiled awkwardly. "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not Mr. Elkin's wife, just his secretary." "Oh, you're not? Then, you..." Lucy paused, realizing her mistake. "I'm sorry, please don't be upset. May I ask your name?" "I'm Heather." "Ms. Heather, you have such a beautiful name, and you're so lovely," Lucy said sweetly. "My name is Lucy." Since Tyrone had brought Heather home, Lucy maintained a smi
Both Lucy and Tyrone had straight-up ignored Heather. Heather was speechless. After breakfast, Tyrone and Heather left together. Caleb had parked the car downstairs. When he saw them coming out, he respectfully opened the car door, and Tyrone got in. Heather stood by the car and said, "Mr. Elkin, I can get to the company on my own." Tyrone buttoned his cufflinks calmly. "I don't mind, but it's almost time for work. If you want to take the bus, you need to hurry up. Caleb, drive." Caleb almost couldn't hold back his laughter. However, he didn't immediately close the car door. Sure enough, after hearing Tyrone's words, Heather quickly hopped into the car. Elkin Group was very strict about being punctual. There was a penalty of 500 dollars for being late. Caleb couldn't help but chuckle. He shut the car door and walked around to the driver's seat. "Mr. Elkin, you have several appointments this morning. You have lunch with the Minister of Commerce at noon and a bid to
Heather's phone vibrated, indicating a WhatsApp message from Lucy. Heather added her contact. Lucy had sent her a series of messages containing various styles of luxury women's clothing, from autumn to winter fashion. Following that were images of jewelry, shoes, and handbags. Heather's phone kept vibrating, making her hands go numb before it finally stopped. Lucy: "Ms. Sutton, are there any styles you like? Just tell me the number on the picture. If you don't like any of them, let me know your preferred style, and I'll get it for you."As one of Tyrone's employees, Lucy was very meticulous. Heather felt like she was the sugar baby of a wealthy man. There were so many choices that she wouldn't have time to work today if she were to go through them all. Heather wasn't in the mood to choose. She put away her phone and left the car to go upstairs. The whole morning passed without Heather having a chance to see Tyrone. As time passed, she felt a pressing feeling. She became
As Heather arrived at the door of the private room, she pushed it open with complex emotions, only to see a middle-aged man sitting inside. "Are you here to deliver the documents? Just give them to me," the man said. She didn't see Tyrone or Caleb as she looked around. She asked, "Who are you?" "Mr. Hall sent me to collect the documents. Just hand them over," the man replied. Heather felt uncomfortable with him. Something about him felt off. As she reached out to pass the documents, the man reached for them, but she suddenly withdrew her hand. The man hesitated, then impatiently asked, "What are you doing?" "Which department are you from? I've never seen you before." Heather scrutinized him.This was supposed to be a bidding event. Tyrone would be accompanied by executives from the relevant departments. She knew all the top executives at Elkin Group, but she had never seen this man before. The man paused, then mocked, "You're just a secretary. You don't matter. Have
"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
