Putting on a gloomy look, Tracy tugged at Lucas's arm, pulling his attention. In a sad tone, she said, “Heidi seems to have moved on already. That man must be treating her well. I hope he can distract her from trying to harm me from now on.”Lucas clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles made a cracking sound. Tracy added fuel to the fire, by adding the words, “How unfortunate. Instead of conserving her beauty, Heidi keeps throwing herself at different men. I don't blame her anyways, the world must be cruel and harsh to desperate orphans. They can do anything to survive.”Even at the risk of losing their dignity?For the first time, Lucas glared at Tracy. Her body shuddered, and she quickly let go of his arm. “I- I didn't mean to put it that way, however, that's the obvious explanation, right?”“I'm just speaking the reality which you know of.” Tracy dropped her head, looking offended. “It's not like I have any grudge against Heidi to speak bad of her.”“You're thinking too much,
Inside The Five-Star Restaurant. The staff received Steve, Heidi, Isla, and Kate warmly, eagerly showing them to a wide round table filled with astounding delicacies. Beluga caviar, kobe beef, truffle risotto, a plate full of waffles, and four glasses of sparkling rosé champagne. The generous meal reminded Heidi of a particular candlelight dinner that ended up in jeopardy. “This is too much, Steve. It hasn't been long since we ate breakfast, I'm full.” Steve drew out a chair for her, urging her to sit down. “You only ate two slices of pizza.” He took a plate and picked a small portion of each dish into it. “Eat more, Heidi, then you'll be energized.” “My stomach will burst, I guess.” Heidi laughed, and Steve couldn't help but laugh along. “I like your humor.” “Don't you know, Heidi? We were supposed to go to the Park first, but Steve wants to ensure you fill up your stomach.” Kate was wearing a face mask, but one could imagine her scowling at her brother. “Ms. Olsen, I'm al
Seriously, maybe he was right.Lucas Harrison thought he had this much power over her. He could trample on her as he wished, and still rub it on her face. Heidi took in a deep breath. Bottling up her anger, she broke out of Lucas's captive gaze and leaned towards the man beside her.“Forgive me for what I'll do next,” she whispered into Steve's ear. “Lucas Harrison needs to be taught a lesson.”With that said, Heidi rose to her feet and lowered herself onto Steve's chair's armrest, spreading her arm across his shoulders.If one didn't look carefully, one would think she was sitting on his lap.Kate and Isla gasped, clearly taken aback by Heidi's sudden display of brazenness.“Way to go, Girl!” Kate gave her a thumbs-up. “Don't give the cheating couple the satisfaction they want.”Steve laughed in amusement. “I thought you were a shy and docile kitten.”“A shy kitten turns ferocious when the enemy doesn't stop biting.” Heidi smiled. “Sorry to take advantage of you, Steve.”In fact, He
Inside The Restaurant… Tracy held onto Lucas's arm with all her might, as if afraid that Lucas would chase after Heidi. She'd be a fool if she didn't admit that she knew what was going on. That filthy girl. She sure knew ways to keep Lucas chasing after her. If Tracy didn't make Heidi disappear for good, how would she finally have peace of mind? She gritted her teeth so hard that her jaws ached. Ignoring her stained dress, Tracy tried to coax the enraged man. “Let's finish our food, Honey. I- We- Let's just forget about them” “I'm not eating anymore.” Lucas's gaze remained glued to the entrance, his blood boiling inside. “Alright then, if you won't eat the food, I'm sure the wine will calm you down-” “I said I'm not eating!” His voice startled her. Tracy's eyes were wide with shock. Her whole body shook inside from his sudden harsh tone. Holding her forehead, she staggered. Lucas quickly caught her before she fell down. “What's wrong? Are you alright?” His tone returne
Zach's comment caught Kate's attention. Looking up, a sense of familiarity came to her. Without needing to ask who he was, she said, “Let me guess, you're Zach Olsen.”Zach was greatly touched. He let out a laugh and walked over, holding his chest. “Interesting, you even know my name. Are you perhaps one of my ardent fans? Tell me, Beauty. If you're not a model, you must be a supermodel. Seems like I've admired this angelic face on the screen before.”Even though she was sitting, one couldn't deny that she was tall. Her striking features had the tendency to be ingrained in one's mind. That was probably why Zach had no difficulties in remembering that he'd once seen her on the TV.“Unfortunately, I'm not one of your female fans.” Kate squared her shoulders, lifting her chin. “Who doesn't know the notorious Zach Olsen whole loves showering money on ladies?”“Haha, what can I say? The ladies love to be taken care of. You're not an exception, are you?” Zach sat beside her, and whispered
As Grandpa Winston couldn't see the news on the tablets properly, and his glasses were not near, Butler Luke cleared his throat and explained.“Master, I will first tell you the good news. The Young Master's engagement with Ms. Carlson has been announced.”“Whereas, the bad news is; The Young Master traveled to GreyHills for a business trip. However, the former- I mean, the Young Miss was coincidentally there. Remember you ordered me to keep an eye on any scandal about the Young Master.”“Go to the point!” Grandpa Winston was dying of anticipation. “What is the bad news that involves my grandson and granddaughter-in-law?”Butler Luke sighed. “I was notified by one of the media agencies. They sold the scandal to me at a very high price, otherwise, they would have published it. At a restaurant in GreyHills City, the Young Master made a scene because the Young Miss was with a different guy.”Grandpa Winston pondered for a few seconds. “Well, that is good news.” He looked up. “The first n
The employees were in a frenzy, most of them shaking in fear of what the woman was about to do.“Madam, please calm down,” Heidi called out to her. “Killing yourself will only worsen matters. We are doing our best to find your husband.”“It's a lie!” The woman yelled. “You are doing nothing. Aren't you also a worker in this company? You're all a bunch of hypocrites! There must be a reason why you decided to shut my husband up by getting rid of him. He knows all your dirty secrets, which you don't want the people to know.”Heidi's eyes darted across the wide area. Phone cameras were up, and the employees watched with bated breaths.“Ms. Olsen, you said before that the finance department's manager's wife was trying to play a game, It doesn't seem so, I guess,” Isla said in a crestfallen tone, sympathizing with the woman.“Don't conclude yet, Isla,” Heidi’s narrowed eyes were fixed on the middle-aged woman. “Something fishy is going on.”The woman's cries filled the whole area, and she
…At Another End of the City.A black car was racing down the city, bypassing all the traffic rules, and more than once, almost causing a head-on collision.Lucas sat in the backseat of the car, tapping his feet on the ground impatiently. “I told you to drive faster!”“Mr. Harrison, this is the highest speed limit! Fortunately, the authorities recognize your car, otherwise, we would have been bumped on all sides by the police by now.” Sweats poured down the driver's face. “Don't worry, we will reach the mansion soon.”“Please calm down, Lucas.” Tracy squeezed his hand gently. “Grandpa has to be alright. I'm sure the Doctor will work hard to revive him.”Lucas stared out of the car's window, his impatience to reach the mansion on time evident on his face. He left the car as soon as they got to the mansion before it even came to a complete stop. Rushing inside Grandpa Winston's quarters, he found the Butler pacing back and forth in front of the bedroom upstairs.“What happened to Gran
