Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 29. Grandpa's Schemes
“You can't fire us! StriveStyle Co. can't do without us.” “The number of employees is rapidly declining. At this moment, you won't dare fire any employee.” “Even though you're the CEO, didn't you claim that you want to revive this brand?” “Believe me, StriveStyle Co. doesn't need employees like you.” Heidi walked inside the elevator, leaving the three ladies dumbfounded. “Young Miss, you must have had a long day, didn't you?” John said from the driver's seat, noticing the exhaustion in her eyes. “Not really. I'm striving well.” “Just tell me if you're tired, Young Miss-” “So you can report it to Grandpa, right?” “Haha-Hehe.” John scratched his head. “Do you believe I'm a spy, come on. The Old Master is only looking out for you. Let me tell you, Young Miss…” As John chattered on, while driving her home, Heidi's phone constantly beeped in her bag. She brought it out and saw Grandpa Winston's name flashing on the screen. “Heidi, you silly girl. When are you planning to vis
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 30. Seeing Through Grandpa's Schemes
Heidi ignored his warning look, rolling her eyes and keeping her attention on Grandpa Winston. As Lucas drove the car, she sat in the backseat with the Old Man. “Heidi, remember that time we went to a dinner party? Your name wasn't on the invite list but Grandpa squeezed you in. When you suddenly disappeared from the party, where did you go, silly girl?” Grandpa Winston's intention was to rekindle old memories. However, Heidi's remembrance of that event only increased her hate towards the man sitting in the driver's seat. Hadn't Lucas pulled her out of the hall before she could even enter, then led her inside the washroom? “Hehe, you went to fool around, didn't you?” Grandpa Winston gave Heidi a knowing look, chuckling deeply. Lucas stiffened, his fingers curling around the steering wheel. His eyes darted to the rearview mirror, scrutinizing Heidi's expression and anticipating her reply. Heidi gave the man a secret glare, before faking a bashful smile at the old man. “Gran

If Lucas wasn't mad before, then he was really beyond himself this time. “What's with that look?” Grandpa Winston narrowed his eyes. “Are you not going to take her back?” “Grandpa, I will,” Lucas grumbled and left. Grandpa Winston sighed and urged Heidi on, “Hurry up. It is getting very late.” Heidi hurried after the man and caught up with him at the parking lot. Lucas scoffed, turning around, not seeing the fist flying in his direction coming. But he dodged it on time, and Heidi punched the empty air. “Are you crazy?” Lucas frowned. Heidi grabbed his collar, letting out her long-suppressed anger. “You're the crazy maniac! Lucas Harrison, don't think I'm going to forgive you for pushing me inside the pool.” Taken aback by her sudden attack, Lucas blinked then his features hardened. “Do you think I'm as petty as you? I could punish you for pushing Tracy inside the pool.” “Ha! You dared!” “Heidi.” He grabbed her arm, blocking her attacks. “I will only warn you for the la

At Carlson's Manor, meanwhile. A text notification popped on Tracy's phone. Looking inside it, the glass of juice in her hand fell to the ground and shattered. “Did you see the photo?” Stella called her immediately. “What is your job, Tracy? Why are you neglecting your duties?” “It's not like that, Stella, I- I mean…” Tracy was greatly dumbfounded by that picture, she didn't know which words to say. Her vision clouded with anger, and after Stella's last words, she gripped the phone until the screen cracked. Staring at the photo again, her eyes turned crimson with jealousy. “You do like to fool around don't you, Heidi?” Tracy's eyes glinted, her lips curling into a sinister smile. “Since you love trouble that much, why don't I give you what you want?” She pressed into the almost-unrecognizable phone, stopping at a particular contact. “It has been long, Todd. Erm, don't you have a fetish for married women?” “You told me you're single. Did you get married?” From the other end

After Isla told her what the problem was, Heidi's lips twitched. “When did they sell the cars?” “Just a few weeks ago. I've heard some employees gossiping about it the moment it went missing.” Literally, StriveStyle Co. no longer had a transit car all thanks to Aiden and Lilian. “We can go in a taxi,” Heidi suggested, putting some documents inside her bag and standing up. Isla hesitated, she didn't voice out her concerns though. She was just surprised that someone like Ms. Olsen would take a commercial ride. The appointments were booked at different restaurants at different time frames. The first restaurant they arrived at wasn't very far from StriveStyle Co. Their first appointment was with a newbie model. Apart from having good temperaments, her skin was flawless and she carried herself with elegance. “Thank you for this offer, Ms. Olsen.” Her lips pulled into a subtle smile. “I'm willing to take the job, however, considering the bad reputation of your brand, it can h
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 34. Tampering with The Reports
… That Evening… Heidi sat in front of her computer, going through a list of models on the web. While engrossed in her work, she was oblivious that someone was inside the room with her. “Why are you overworking yourself when you're sick, Heidi? Who even allowed you to stay at home instead of keeping you at the hospital?” Heidi looked at her father, her lips pursing in an offended manner. “You knew I fell into the pool. Were you so busy with playing golf that you couldn't call and check on me?” It had been a few days since he left home. Heidi didn't even know he traveled until his absence became alarmingly prominent. “Were you so busy with being a servant housewife that you forgot you have parents for three years?” Her father had his own comeback, narrowing his eyes at her and also pursing his lips. Heidi sighed exasperatedly. “Dad, didn't you all disown me?” “If we've disowned you, we wouldn't have allowed you into the mansion.” “Grandpa would defend me.” “Silly Girl,

… At StriveStyle Co. Isla couldn't contain her excitement as she walked up to Heidi who had just arrived at the office. “Ms. Olsen, that was fast. What you sent to me on the phone… Is it true?” “Kate Anderson.” Heidi opened up her computer, showing Isla the model's bio. “She has all the qualities we need. To top it all, she is an international supermodel.” “What!?” Isla's jaws dropped, quickly shaking her head in disbelief. “Ms. Olsen, this…” How could they be able to snag an international supermodel when they couldn't even get newbies? Wasn't it like dreaming of the stars when you can't even afford stones? Heidi could sense what she was thinking. “Isla, we must try. You know the advantages of getting such a model to work with us.” “It will be like a dream come true for StriveStyle Co. But Ms. Olsen…” “Let's give it a shot. It's better than not trying. Isla, remember that when approaching a client, make the offer look so tempting to them that they can't resist. Never por

“You’re a corrupt official at StriveStyle Co. I'd rather face defeat than collaborate with someone like you.” “Heidi, you- you're making a mistake.” “Aiden, I'm quite busy now. If you have nothing tangible to say, I'm hanging up.” Heidi cut the call before his reply came. She picked up the report in front of her to go through it, then her phone rang. Thinking it was Aiden again, Heidi decided to ignore it. But her phone rang constantly, forcing her to look at the screen. Heidi stared at the strange number, frowning. She answered it, then came a deep husky voice. “Where do you want us to meet, Sweetheart? I've got an idea. Let's hook up tonight at Rosehills Hotel.” “Huh?” Heidi's frown deepened. Then she cut the call. Her phone rang again with that strange number, but she didn't answer it. Thinking that person must have mistaken her phone number with someone else's, Heidi carried on the whole day, ignoring his calls. But the phone calls were serving as a huge distraction.

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

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
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 438. Just A Kid
… 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
