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
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

Sitting across from the delicacies spread on the vast table, Heidi supported her cheeks with both hands. She let out a sigh, wondering why her husband was taking so long outside. Lucas appeared to have forgotten their anniversary, despite Heidi dropping hints for the past few days. He never brought up the topic and was always conveniently busy whenever she tried to discuss it. Hoping to surprise him, she eagerly awaited the sound of his footsteps from the doorway. Bang! A deafening sound startled her, and through her blurry vision, a stack of documents appeared in front of her. “Sign it, Heidi. We’re getting a divorce,” Lucas’s cold voice reached her ears. Frowning, Heidi’s eyes returned to the documents, and she read the words written boldly at the top. ‘A divorce agreement?’ She shook her head and chuckled, convinced it was a silly dream. Lucas would never divorce her. Heidi picked up the documents from the desk and flipped through them. Then she pinched herself. The reality h
… At Skyline Restaurant. The atmosphere was a mix of joy and tension as Lucas sat across from Tracy. His father and stepmother, a couple deeply engrossed in conversation, sat beside each other.“Who would have thought that Tracy would ever return?” Mrs. Harrison beamed.“I also thought she would spend the rest of her life abroad,” Mr. Harrison chuckled. “When you went there to study, we hoped you would come back often, but you didn’t.”“Oh, Uncle… Aunty…" Tracy smiled bashfully, lowering her head. “I always had it in mind to return. How could I not when everything I love is here?”With those words, she cast a meaningful gaze at Lucas, who seemed lost in thought, silently eating his food.“Well, your return is worth celebrating,” Mrs. Harrison declared, the most joyous of them all. She had been disappointed when Tracy left for studies abroad, especially since it marked the end of her relationship with Lucas. If only Tracy had stayed, Lucas might never have married the girl his grandf
The Olsen Family Mansion buzzed with activity the next day. As Heidi stepped into the house, she felt like she had just walked into a new world.Despite three years passing, everything seemed oddly unchanged. Whispers of recognition followed her every step.“The Young Miss is back.”“Really? I thought I was imagining things. Our Young Miss’s complexion is brighter, and her hair is shinier. This lady is just skin and bones.”“Are you sure it is our Young Miss? She might resemble her,” questioned the skeptical whispers.The servants’ gasps of astonishment spread across the compound as they spoke in hushed tones, all casting strange looks in Heidi’s direction. She heard their conversations and a bitter smile formed on her face.For three long years, she had deliberately kept her distance from the mansion. It wasn’t enough time to erase her identity, but it had certainly worked its magic on her appearance. The reason the servants couldn’t recognize her was that her appearance had indeed c
Inside the towering skyscraper of the GK Group...Lucas stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, his frigid frame unmoving. The cold, sterile light of the office cast shadows across his face, revealing a tense mask that concealed the boiling rage inside him.His eyes were fixed on the bustling city below, yet the image of her leaning into another man’s arms flashed in his mind.“Mr. Harrison,” his secretary, Amanda, walked into the office.Lucas seemed lost in his thoughts. The secretary had been knocking for a while but received no response.“Mr. Harrison.” Clearing her throat, Amanda called his attention again. “I am here with the reports.”Remembering the assignment he’d given his secretary, Lucas snapped out of his thoughts. He strolled back to his swivel chair and sat down.“What did you find?”“Regarding Mrs. Harrison’s whereabouts…” she watched the man’s expression carefully before reporting, “I am afraid to tell you that her provided address is false. No one in the Metrolift Apar
[Yes, Ms. Carlson. Everything is set.] The reply came instantly. Tracy dropped her phone and wrapped both hands around Lucas’s arm as he stared out of the window.The car pulled over in front of the hotel. Lucas was somewhat surprised to find paparazzi present; after all, it wasn’t some extravagant business dinner. He might have declined the invitation if not for Tracy’s request.As they emerged from the car, a dazzling display of flashes and shutters greeted them. The paparazzi were in a frenzy, capturing every moment as if it were a cinematic event. The questions came like rapid-fire, each one attempting to unveil the mystery behind the couple.“Mr. Harrison, what a splendid surprise. For the first time in history, you have a woman by your side. May we know who this lucky lady is?”“Isn’t she the Young Mistress of the Carlson Household? There have been rumors that Mr. Harrison and Ms. Carlson are in a relationship. Is it true?”“Mr. Harrison is one of the most eligible bachelors in
