“No one's going to settle any differences.” Heidi folded her hands. “I no longer want to live with a selfish man who neither respects me nor my feelings.”“Didn't you say you love me?” Lucas felt dejected.“Not anymore,” Heidi chortled. “Feelings can change, Mr. Harrison.”“Are you sure?” Lucas pulled her close by her waist, making their bodies collide. “Are you sure that there's no longer room for me in your heart, Heidi?”“Hey, let go of me.” Heidi panicked. “Let me go otherwise I will scream and let the employees know that you're assaulting me in your office!”Lucas quickly let go of her, his eyes filled with helplessness. “Where are you off to? Where do you live? Who are you living with, Heidi?”“It's none of your business.” Heidi smoothened the creases on her cloth, glowering at him.Lucas reminded her, “Remember I am still your husband since the divorce hasn't been finalized yet.”“You mean half-husband?” Heidi snickered. “It's useless, you know.”Lucas was about to reply when H

Zach was spreading his suit jacket on Heidi's exposed leg when the door flung open.“Who the hell!-” He hadn't fully turned around and a punch landed on his face.“Shit! What just happened!” Zach swayed backward, holding his nose as pain shot through it. “Ah, you- Lucas Harrison!” He pointed a trembling finger forward. “Are you crazy!?”“I will show you who is crazy among us.” Lucas rolled up his sleeves, delivering another punch to his face. “Zach Olsen, you'll regret ever laying your filthy fingers on Heidi.”Zach saw his next attack coming, and he blocked it with one hand, holding his bleeding nose with the other hand. “Damnit! Lucas Harrison, do you know how much this face cost? The whole of GK Group won't be able to compensate for my beauty- Ah!”The last punch was more brutal, sending Zach staggering a few steps back.Because he'd drunk some of the beer and was a bit tipsy, he couldn't gather much of his strength. “Lucas Harrison, you'll regret this!” When he moved forward this

“Why's it locked?” Heidi pulled at the door's handle, panicking. “Quick, bring me the keys.”“What's wrong, Young Madam.” Mira's expression turned sad. “Are you planning to leave? I- I thought the Young Master said you've reconciled. Aren't you back for good?”“To hell with reconciliation!” Heidi looked baffled, thinking she'd underestimated that man. Who would ever think that Lucas Harrison would resort to kidnapping her? “Quick, bring me the keys. I have to get out of this place, Mira!”Remembering what Lucas had done to Zach, Heidi wasn't sure of Zach's fate. Was he in a worse situation?“I- I don't have the keys,” Mira explained. “The Young Master must have locked the house with a new password. I didn't know that he locked us up until I wanted to take food to the security man.”“Oh- no!” Heidi groaned out loud, staring up at the ceiling helplessly and pacing back and forth.“Madam, why don't you want to stay?” Mira approached her. “Don't you know that the Young Master has been m

As much as Lucas didn't want to listen to anything his father had to say, he couldn't turn down his invitation because Blake Harrison looked greatly enraged.“Lucas Harrison, what is the meaning of this? Ever since the engagement failed, you have labeled me as your enemy, right? You have forgotten that you have a father,” Blake scolded him after they arrived at his quarters.Lucas sat down on the couch, his tone calm. “What did you want to discuss?”“What other thing apart from your wedding with Tracy?” Blake sat across from him. “You are prolonging it for too long. Didn't you announce before that you were going to marry Tracy? I know I made a mistake by planning your engagement, we should have proceeded with the wedding.”Lucas didn't like his father's tone of speaking. He wasn't a kid anymore to be ordered around.“The matter of my marriage is a crucial aspect of my life. I reserve the right to make such decisions.”“No, you don't.” Blake gave him a hard look. “You have to listen to

“Dad, please stop it.” Harold interrupted Natalie from speaking. “It is already too late, anyway. Heidi won't get the position, she might as well continue managing that small brand.”“This is not what a responsible family member does, Brother.” Caleb stood up for Heidi. “You have gone too far by dangling the cherry in front of her and snatching it away when she almost grabbed it.”It was Harold Olsen who had suggested managing that brand in the first place, to test Heidi’s capabilities. Not only did he fool Heidi, but he also crushed her anticipation.“You- Caleb.” Harold pointed at him. “What right do you have to accuse me? Didn't you neglect all your duties in the company and go around catching fun?”“What duties do you mean, Harold?” Regina shot back. “Is it the duties you forcefully snatched from him? Everyone knows my husband is jobless which is all because of you!”“Regina, watch your mouth!” Beatrice stood up. “I know you and Caleb are jealous because you're both useless in thi
