Knowing that arguing would yield no good outcome, Heidi hurried to the door and held the handle. “Killian is with me. I'll be alright.”“Relax, Buddy.” Killian patted him on the shoulder. “Heidi is doing the right thing by taking responsibility. Not a day goes by without her grandfather grieving her absence.”“Are you sure you want to go?” Lucas said, the anger in his eyes fading into a look of desperation. “I'll find a way to make this work.”“The only way to make things work is if I stop acting like a coward, Lucas…” She gave him a stiff smile. “I'll be fine, don't worry about me.”Killian approached and held the door open for her. As Heidi was about to leave with him, Lucas called out. “I'll come.”He'd come with her?Heidi stopped, contemplating the odds.Letting him come with her would, however, only make things worse. And if she lingered here, her façàde of braveness might break down, giving way to the anxiety consuming her whole. “That's not a good idea.”He was frowning agai

Heidi had turned for the door and she halted, hearing Grandpa Jeffery's command. Different kinds of emotions built up in her heart, ones she couldn't wrap her fingers around.In the end, she balled her fists, suppressing the emotions. She held the door's handle and walked out to be met with the scrutinizing gazes of her parents.They weren't far from the door and they'd been listening to her conversation with Grandpa Jeffery.On her mother's face was the same astonished look from moments ago. She grabbed Heidi's shoulders, shaking her. “What the hell have you done this time, Heidi? How could you go back to Lucas Harrison?”“Let it go, Regina…” Caleb pulled her away, the mad expression on his face matching the woman's. “It's fruitless. Because of him, she even lied to her grandfather.”“Even if Steve Anderson is a bad person, you shouldn't have lied that the child isn't his.”“I never said the child is Steve Anderson's, Mum.”“How do you expect us to believe you, Heidi?” Her father sa

…At Another End of The City…The piece of news published online was slowly gaining the attention of the netizens, even overshadowing the current scandal about the AG Group and the hot topic that Heidi Olsen was in a relationship with Lucas Harrison. The news was none other than the recent announcement of the AG Group.Anticipating the outcome, the netizens had kept close eyes on that particular news.Inside His Villa,Zach, who seemed to be the only person oblivious to all the current happenings in the city, was enjoying the best time of his life in bed with a woman.Not only did he put his phone on silent, but since morning, he'd rarely left his bed.“Stop it, Zach!” Kate groaned, shoving the pillow into his face. “If after today I'm never able to walk, it's your fault.”“You are stronger than most women…” He chuckled, trailing kisses down her neck. “More flexible too, I assume.”“Maniac!” She snickered. “Zach Olsen, how did I even end up here?”“Weren't you lured by my charms?”“I

Isla broke her gaze from his, her face paling. “Uhm, Ms. Olsen… I'll be leaving…” She collected her phone from Heidi's hand. “Please remember to switch on your phone. I'll call you later regarding Ms. Anderson's whereabouts.”Feeling the tension in the air, Heidi nodded. “Sure. Please go ahead, Isla.”But she wasn't sure if she would even get her phone back from her mother.Gosh! Zach Olsen!What was in that man's brain?Heidi lowered herself onto the chair, curdling her bump to ease the feeling of discomfort in her stomach.Killian broke his gaze from Isla's back, his eyes flashing with guilt. “You didn't tell me she was going to come.”“Did I need to give you a heads-up?” Heidi raised a brow at him.Killian chuckled. “Of course, not. Why the cold treatment, though? She didn't even say hello or goodbye.”Scoffing at his words, Heidi rubbed her pounding forehead. “Are you ready to sneak out?” Killian changed the topic. “I'm afraid I can't hold him back any longer. Lucas Harrison is d

“Ha! Really?” Heidi gave a short laugh even though her Uncle's words weren't funny. “Let me guess. After removing me from my position, you'll make Lillian the CEO.”“You're not dumb,” Harold Olsen agreed. “Just wait and see. Even if you beg, no one will save you this time. Not even your grandfather because you're carrying the enemy's child.”“What are you saying, Dad?” Zach butted in. “Wasn't it announced that Heidi's child belongs to her ex-husband?”“That's a blatant lie!” Harold denied. “Heidi's child belongs to no one else but Steve Anderson, our enemy! She is now ashamed to admit it that is why she announced that her ex-husband is the biological father. Clearly, she won't be allowed to run the AG Group when she's nurturing the enemy's child. If the child grows up, he'll follow in his father's footsteps.”“Shit! That is chaotic!” Zach ran a hand through his hair, his expression anxious. “Well, it's not Heidi's fault-”“Says who?” Harold chuckled. “This reason is enough to remove h
