As Lucas's car drove out of the mansion, a familiar blue car was driving in. Lucas's eyes turned cold. He pressed the brakes and left his car.Blake, who had also sighted him, jumped out of his car with Stella following behind.“Why did you fire all the bodyguards, Lucas? Do you know what you're doing?” Blake demanded loudly. Looking unfazed, Lucas replied, “I have told you: If you didn't bring Heidi out, you'd all have it coming.”“Lucas Harrison, what is so special about that girl? Don't you dare to overstep your boundaries.”“The matters between Heidi and I are not for you to interfere in. She was my wife, right?”“You!”Stella stepped between the father and son, trying to pacify the situation. “Please don't fight, Guys. Yes, Blake got that heirloom for me. Am I not its rightful owner in the first place? Heidi was your wife, you're right. But she's no longer a part of this family. Why would your grandfather be so selfish?”“Whether it should belong to you or not doesn't concern m
“Why does Heidi seem to be in a bad mood, Grandpa?” Zach approached Grandpa Jeffrey, his eyes fixed upstairs.“How should I know?” Grandpa Jeffery sighed. “It's as if she doesn't want to talk. Well, the best thing is that she's back safe and sound.”“Damnit!” Zach shook his fist. “I'm going to make Lucas Harrison pay for this.”“Be quiet!” Harold stood up. “If you can't do anything to save AG Group, stop finding ways to bring it down. You've already made the GK Group our enemy, will you not rest until they completely crush AG Group?”“Dad, I told you to let Heidi join AG Group as its CEO,” Zach exclaimed. “To hell with GK Group, who said we're afraid of them?”“I've heard news that she can't even manage that small brand well. Is it the whole AG Group she can manage?” Harold hollered then said to Grandpa Jeffrey. “Dad, can you please put an end to Heidi's craziness?”“Grandpa, Heidi's only gonna cause more trouble. Please allow us to take our positions back,” Aiden pleaded.“If you wan
Zach's car came to a screeching halt, his eyes popping out. “Heidi, what are you doing?”“Please give me a ride to StriveStyle Co.” Heidi hurried inside the car without waiting for him to speak.Zach had no choice but to resume driving. “Grandpa's so worried about you. Did something come up at the brand?”“Yeah. I have to be there.”Zach was worried about her health, but seeing Heidi working hard, he didn't want to pull down her morale. So he dropped her off at the brand. Heidi rushed into the office and found the employees gathering some broken chairs. “What's going on?”Isla hurried up to her. “Ms. Olsen, the situation is very bad. Fortunately, the policemen arrived on time to help the security men out. They just left with the hooligans.”“What hooligans?”Isla followed her to her office. “It's about the Finance Department's Manager who has gone missing. It is creating a buzz online, painting StriveStyle Co. as being careless about its employees. His wife came with an angry crowd a
…Inside A Villa.The hummingbirds chirped from outside, and the morning light streamed in through the curtains. The solitary figure of the man stepped inside the closet, his eyes scanning the several business suits hanging from the racks. In the dimly lit walk-in closet, Lucas took his time searching for something special to wear. In his exploration, his hand reached the furthest end of the closet and his fingers grazed something that felt like a box. Lucas retrieved the wide box, his brows furrowing. He opened it and found a striking dark blue tuxedo with his initials carved with a golden thread in the front pocket. Lucas wore the tuxedo and took an unusual time appreciating his appearance in the mirror. Not recalling when he ordered this custom-made tuxedo, he summoned the maid when he reached downstairs.“Mira, when did this arrive?”Mira held her cheek with both hands, her eyes shining with admiration when she saw the boss looking more handsome than usual. “This looks very
…At GreyHills City's Airport.Heidi came down from the plane with Isla by her side. “This place is beautiful,” Isla commented. Heidi nodded in agreement.“Princess, sorry I can't accompany you on your business trip. I'd rather go catch some fun. Goodbye.” Zach had his own plans, so he made it clear as soon as they arrived. At that moment, a flashy red car parked in front of him, and a slender lady dressed in a black mini-dress came down.“Long time no see, Mr. Olsen.” She batted her lashes, her lips pulling into a seductive smile.“Hey, Ruby, you haven't changed a lot.” Zach winked at her and took the car keys. They soon drove off.Isla couldn't close her mouth. “What are we gonna do now, Ms. Olsen? I thought Mr. Olsen would accompany us. As the president of AG Group, his presence might have some impact on the clients.”Imagine Isla's joy when Zach joined them on the trip. But now, he was abandoning them for some fun?“Believe me, you wouldn't want him to be there.” Heidi shook he
…At the center of GreyHills City, where the traffic was high and the streetlights shone as the day, was an enormous Bar. A sleek black car pulled over, and a man jumped out of the passenger seat and held the back door open. “Mr. Harrison, I hope you won't turn down an invitation for a nightlong fun.”“I came here for business.” Lucas looked displeased. “Where can I meet Mr. Herman.”“Mr. Herman is in there. You see…” The man put on a hesitant look. “Mr. Herman manages this bar and is always around to keep a close watch on it. Don't worry, a private booth is specifically reserved for you. The good news is that it is soundproof and you won't be disturbed by the music coming from downstairs.”Since the client didn't want any fun, the man quickly dropped the topic like a hot potato. Lucas followed him into the bar, and Amanda followed behind, whispering, “Those properties are very good and will bring in a lot of cash. Mr. Harrison, we will gain more profit by investing in them.”“I wo
The cool air around him and the subtle smile on his lips would instantly make one comfortable in his presence.“Speak of the devil.” Kate laughed.Isla choked on her drink, and Heidi stared at him wide-eyed. “Let me guess, you're Steve!” Heidi stood up, not believing her eyes. From the moment Steve walked in, his eyes first landed on her, and he couldn't look away. His lips formed a ‘Wow’ shape, and he shoved both hands into his pants pocket, blinking slowly. “And you're Heidi?” The words left his lips as a whisper.Kate looked from her brother to Heidi. She smiled secretly, a mischievous look glinting in her eyes. “Yeah, she's Heidi.” Kate broke the awkward silence. “Stop drooling, Bro. Heidi's my special guest, don't make her uncomfortable.”Steve collected himself and sat down, his eyes still fixed on Heidi. “You've truly grown into a beautiful woman. I'm amazed.”“I can say the same for you.” Heidi laughed. “Where's that lonely boy who would secretly sneak snacks into my locke
Outside The Bar… Mr. Herman held the backseat door of the car open, grinning from ear to ear. “Have a great night, Mr. Harrison. I hope we have many more collaborations in the future.” Lucas sat inside the car. As the driver was about to kick off the engine, Amanda reported from the passenger seat. “Mr. Harrison, the pilot notified me that the weather is good, and we can return to Phoenix City tonight.” Lucas's mind strayed to that familiar figure. His eyes were closed, seemingly lost in his thoughts. He couldn't have mistaken, right? She was definitely Heidi. “Mr. Harrison, is everything alright?” Amanda asked, wondering if he didn't hear her report. Lucas opened his eyes. About to answer Amanda's question, but what he first saw astounded him. Through the car's front window, three ladies walked out of the bar and Heidi was among them. His instincts were right. He hadn't been hallucinating. Lucas straightened up, his narrowed eyes fixed on her. A man accompanied them, an
