Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 153. Managing The Group
With her heart in her throat, Heidi lifted her head slowly, meeting her mother's scrutinizing eyes, dreading filling her chest.“You are not eating your food, why?”At her mother's question, Heidi let out a breath she'd suppressed ever since the woman called out her name.Was she paranoid thinking that her mother might speak about something else?She forced a smile and replied, “I’m gonna eat now, Mum.”Yet, everyone stared at her strangely.Lost in her own world of thoughts, Heidi didn't realize that they all found her odd silence interesting.“Ha! Heidi must be feeling burdened by the new position of the AG Group's CEO already. Now she looks like a drenched rat seeking shelter!” Aiden slapped the desk, laughing.“You have bit off more than you can chew, Heidi,” Lilian added. “We were all right by saying you aren't up to this job.”“Have I not warned you all to never fight again at this table? Lilian, Aiden, will you not follow my orders until I throw you out!?” Grandpa Jeffery looke

Heidi's lips parted in shock and she sprang up, dazed and confused. “When did it happen?”“An hour ago.”Because she'd stood up abruptly, Heidi felt dizzy in her head and she shut her eyes for some seconds.Why wasn't she notified then?If the beverage company was closing down, they were supposed to have given the AG Group a head start.Under the gazes of the family members, Heidi hurried upstairs and picked up her phone.Before she dialed Isla's number, the phone's screen lit up with Isla's name.“Ms. Olsen, I've been dialing your number for over an hour now. What’s wrong? Why didn't you answer your phone?”“What's going on, Isla?”Since Heidi put the phone on silent last night, she hadn't turned it on.Isla told her the same news the Butler broke to them. It turned out Isla wasn't aware and then forgot to tell her.“What are we gonna do now, Ms. Olsen? These people pulling out their investments is worsening matters.”“Don't worry, I'll think of a way,” Heidi assured her.But after h

“Uncle, you are being too selfish. Your actions can completely destroy the AG Group. Once that happens, I wonder which company you will run alone.”“Well, if you don't want the Group to go down, return the position to Natalie and leave.”“Ha!” Heidi chuckled. “The day I leave this position is when I get a higher one. Uncle, stop toiling with the AG Group's fate.”“Heidi, I'll give you one more chance to leave the Group.”“I hope this is the last time you play a traitor's role in this company, Uncle.”Heidi hung up, intentionally irking the man. She stared at Isla. “Arrange a meeting with the Manager of that company. Let's meet and talk.”Isla looked disappointed. “Ms. Olsen, I've tried reaching out to him but his phone was switched off.”Heidi frowned.Did Harold Olsen have so much money to bribe the beverage company's manager?What did he promise him?“Ms. Olsen…” Isla called out to her but Heidi was deeply engrossed in her thoughts.“Ms. Olsen,” Isla called out again.Heidi lifted h

…At The AG Group.Tension hung inside the general conference room, each board of directors clearly not in a pleased mood.Across the long table, all the Shareholders and other high-ups of the Group sat on the chairs, with Heidi occupying the CEO's seat beside Zach, the president.No one's expression looked good. Harold Olsen's allies glared in Heidi's direction while the rest simply appeared crestfallen, including Grandpa Jeffery who had to attend the emergency meeting.“Why is everyone quiet? Are we not supposed to be discussing the issues related to the Group and the ways to solve them?” Grandpa Jeffery's voice broke the deafening silence.The board of directors exchanged glances.“What are we supposed to say? It is clear that this Group has poor management.”“Every investor has pulled out, and every ally has canceled their collaboration-”“So it is obvious that we're all on a sinking ship. AG Group is falling and we cannot do anything about it.”“What does the CEO have to say?” Th

After The Meeting Was Over…Isla walked behind Heidi down the hallway of the top floor. “Ms. Olsen, you really dealt with your uncle well. He never saw it coming that you would expose his monkey businesses while managing the Group.”Heidi only smiled in response.They entered her office and she sat down on the couch, looking tired.“You're perspiring, Ms. Olsen.” Isla brought out her hankie, carefully wiping Heidi's sweat. “Do you want to rest before going home?”It was almost closing time. Some of the employees were preparing to leave, in fact.“Mm,” she hummed, rubbing her flat abdomen. “I'm starving and should stop by a restaurant.”Heidi wouldn't dare to eat at home, since her mother had become a detective, always scrutinizing every one of her actions.She felt like eating dozens of meals, which must be due to her pregnancy.Isla's phone rang. Sitting across from Heidi, her eyes widened with disbelief and she glanced back and forth between her phone and Heidi.“What's wrong?”“I'v

Heidi was left alone, standing with Steve on the empty street. “I'm not heading home directly.” “Wherever you plan to go, I'll take you.” His inviting smile awoken the guilt in her heart, chasing away every spirit of objection she had in her. Heidi found herself entering his car and giving him the address of Hope Hospital. “Do you feel unwell? What's bothering you?” His eyes reflected worry as the car came to a stop in front of the hospital. Heidi bit the insides of her cheeks, avoiding his gaze. “Yeah, a bit unwell.” Somehow, she didn't like the idea of breaking the news to Steve without knowing why. As if sensing her hesitation, Steve didn't question further. Heidi told him to wait for her, but he insisted on following her inside the hospital. They met Dr. Shawn in the hallway as he'd just come out of one of the wards. Seeing Heidi, Dr. Shawn looked so relieved. “I almost lost hope that you weren't going to come back.” “Did anything happen?” Dr. Shawn looked at Steve, h

Preeclampsia?Heidi couldn't recall where she'd heard that name from. Wasn't it one of those terrible pregnancy complications that risk the life of both mother and baby?“D-Doc.” She tried to speak in vain. Her lips trembled and her speech was incoherent to even her.Dr. Shawn studied her expression, giving her a serious look. “It’s a dangerous condition that can lead to a lot of things such as premature birth.”He just spoke out the words Heidi was thinking in her mind, and her anxiety increased.Seeing her pale expression, Dr. Shawn finally gave her a smile. “I didn't mean to scare you, but it is my duty to warn you of the situation you might land in if you don't look after your health.” He paused. “That is why you must stop overworking yourself, and always think happy thoughts.”How could Heidi think happy thoughts when there was a potential doom looming ahead?She couldn't think happy thoughts with the knowledge that she was at a high risk of developing that condition.Dr. Shawn

No doubt, the man had recognized her because the glass windows of Steve's car weren't tinted.Heidi didn't know why Steve didn't continue driving. Maybe he was as shocked as her.Slowly, Lucas approached, his eyes gleaming with a coldness that was directed towards Steve.He stopped on Heidi's side and knocked on the window, giving her a look as if he'd caught her cheating red-handed.“Come out!” Lucas said in a hard tone, his voice intimidating.“Heidi, I said come out here.”But Steve was already out of the car before Heidi.“How may we help you, Mr. Harrison?”“Didn't I warn you to stay away from her?” Lucas directed his glare at Steve.“Do I have to follow your orders?” Steve laughed, looking amused. “Mr. Harrison, stop disturbing Heidi. She's no longer your possession.”“Is she your possession then?”“Very soon, she will.”Steve was smiling and Lucas looked as if he would flip the car over.Heidi sighed in frustration, rubbing her suddenly aching forehead. “Lucas Harrison, can you

Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 445. Lasting for Eternity
Heidi sprang to a sitting position instantly, hearing the voice coming from the door. Dread washed over, and instinctively, she pulled her baby into her arms, her eyes darting around for any possible escape route. Heidi's first instinct was to flee, but to where?“Daddy?” Her daughter, on the other hand, jumped in excitement. “Hey, Mommy! It's Daddy! Daddy's here!”The door's handle shifted as someone juggled it from the outside. The sounds of knocking increased. “Heidi, are you inside?”Lost at what to do, Heidi just stared at the door, hugging her baby. Lucas barged into the room as he kicked the door open. He came to a screeching halt right in front of her, almost colliding into the bed. “Heidi…” as he whispered her name, Heidi's eyes locked into his. Except for the subtle changes; his once dark eyes now crystal clear, his stubbled jaws and overall demeanor, everything about him was the same. Tears pricked at her eyes and her heart hurt tremendously, wondering how she'd been a
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 444. Played A Huge Part In It
All eyes turned to Harold, some blinking in shock and the rest widening. Heidi was confused too that of all people, Harold Olsen was the one who believed her.But from the look of guilt on his face and the way he sank onto the floor, literally kneeling in front of her, something was definitely fishy. “Heidi, please forgive me.”Heidi flinched when he held her knees. She stared at him, frowning. “Forgive you for what, Uncle?”“What did you do Dad!?” Zach hollered, his eyes filled with horror.The others looked fearful as well.Hanging his head, Harold shook it slowly. “I know saying this is probably too late. That night, Heidi didn't lose her child. When the police found her and Natalie, I orchestrated everything that happened after.”Several gasps spread across the room.Avoiding everyone's gaze, Harold said in a melancholic tone. “Having Heidi and Lucas Harrison together at that time meant the end of my sovereignty in this family. I did that to strip Heidi of her position- and…” He
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 443. The Only Person Who Believed Her
All eyes snapped in Heidi's direction.As her sobs echoed in the living room, they all but sprang to their feet. “Ha! How many times have I told you guys to stop mentioning Heidi's name?” Lilian cried out. “Now I'm seeing Heidi's face instead of this lady who appeared from nowhere with a child!”“Are you seeing Heidi? I'm also seeing her!” Natalie gasped. “That's impossible, right?”“Unless we're all out of our minds!” Kate cackled. “Because we all might be seeing Heidi.”Lifting her head, Heidi glanced at everyone's face. Her gaze stopped at her mother whose expression was deadly pale. “Th- This- This isn't Heidi. My Heidi's dead!”Shaking her head, the woman staggered backward. “Who the hell summoned Heidi's ghost?”Her mother fainted immediately after saying that, and the whole room was thrown into chaos. Heidi shot to her feet, holding her baby tight, racing to the spot. Under the family's watchful gazes, she sat beside her mother, shaking her. “Mum! I'm not a ghost! I've come

~During the car ride, Heidi's mind was muddled with different kinds of thoughts that brought worry to her heart. Her only solace was the little girl sitting beside her, holding her hand. “You're so quiet, Mommy…” she asked, “Is everything alright?”Heidi smiled, parting her hair to the side. “I'm okay, Baby.”“Where are we headed?” She murmured, glancing out of the car's window. “You brought me back, Mommy. Are you gonna drop me off at Nanny's place and disappear again.”Smoothing the tiny frown on the girl's forehead, Heidi's heart ached as she kept repeating that word. Disappearing hadn't be easy, and appearing again would definitely incure many repercussions. Heidi picked her up and sat her on her lap, hugging her. “I'd rather die than to disappear again.”Here she was, loathing death, something she'd actually been craving for the past three years. Her heart was an ocean of emotions and her tears never dried up, so much that her eyes were hurting. “Please, Mommy, stop crying

“For the first time, I'm agreeing with Jason's words.” Freya nodded. “Let's return her to the poor man, Heidi. She's not lost.”“Please don't let them take me away, Mommy.” The little girl hugged Heidi's arm. “I promise I'll be obedient. We'll stay in this paradise forever.”“Don't mind them, I won't let you go.” Heidi patted her hair. She stared at Jason and Freya, communicating with her eyes. The two gave her crestfallen looks and sighed at the same time. That Night;Heidi rested on her bed, holding the baby close, and sniffing the familiar scent on her. Citrus mixed with lavender. The scent of the Harrisons Villa. A scent that only belonged to the man she loved. Whenever she thought of him in the past, she'd feel hate and remorse, but now… the thought of him brought fear to her heart, and a regret she couldn't deny. Beside her, the little girl shifted. She opened her sleepy eyes, her wide milky eyes blinking. “Why aren't you sleeping, Mommy?”“I just love staring at you.” H

From caressing the girl's hair, Heidi found herself drawing her close, wrapping her in a gentle embrace. “What's your name?” Uncertainty filling her heart, she asked in a hoarse voice.The little girl neither struggled nor made a sound of discomfort, she in fact snuggled deeper into Heidi's embrace. She murmured, “Nanny calls me Didi, but Daddy calls me Heidi.”Heidi shut her eyes, swallowing down a sudden lump in her throat. A soft laughter escaped her lips. “That's a beautiful name you have, Baby.”However, the little girl pulled away, furrowing her brows. “But my first Mommy dislikes it. She once argued with Daddy about it.”“Oh, is that so?” Sniffing back the tears threatening to burst out, Heidi forced a smile. “Why doesn't she like your name?”“Because she's a meanie. Nanny said she made my Mommy disappear.” The girl blew out a sigh, her tone gloomy. “But Daddy promised she won't bother us anymore.”Heidi didn't know where to keep her emotions. She just didn't want to cry in f

“A kid means no harm. Relax, Heidi.” Jason patted her shoulder. “That pilot must be her father.”Heidi sat on the couch. “Now let me get to work! I'll see to it that that man is taught a lesson for crossing my number one rule of this Island! No tourists are allowed with a helicopter!”As Jason matched out of the room, Freya snickered. “He's doing a bad job managing this place. Too bad none of us can be in charge.”Under the pretense of working for the AG Group and managing the resorts here, Jason had moved to the mystic Island to be with her. One coincidence led to the guy clinging onto her.Driven by curiosity, he'd wandered into this cabin on a particular day, which was rumored to be haunted, and that was how he found her and Freya. Wondering if Jason was going to send the father and daughter back even though she didn't like that idea, Heidi carried on with her day, taking a walk down the empty beach separated from the resort’s area. The Island ahead was like an abandoned old ca

… Waking up the next morning to a foreboding feeling in her chest was enough sign that her peaceful days on this Island were over. The moment she opened her eyes, someone hugged her. “What am I gonna do with you, Heidi…” Freya murmured. “An emotional outburst can cause you a second heart attack, and that will be the end of us. Our days of hiding here will be over… we'll need to go to any nearby city for your treatment, and the police won't have mercy once they catch me.”Heidi sighed inside. Did she faint last night? Her only cure was ultimate happiness, something she doubted she was ever going to find on this Island or anywhere in this world. “If I have a heart attack someday, don't bother yourself, Freya… let me die and-”“Please, Heidi… stop it,” Freya whispered. “How dare you wish death upon yourself? You're the nicest person I've ever met; I fell for a villain and almost let him slip away, I lost my job and was about to lose my life but you saved me even though we never kne
