171. His Downfall

Shocked at Joye's words, the spoon fell off Liam's hand.Hand over his position?What kind of a ridiculous question was that?Liam threw the assistant a glare, picking up his spoon again. He shouldn't let Joye be here. He should have long sent him out. “Have I become your playmate? When did you learn to crack silly jokes?”But the expression on Joye's face told Liam otherwise.The assistant widened his eyes, blinking rapidly at him. “Don't tell me you're not aware, Sir.”Liam had already scooped another spoonful of his food, but then he dropped it. Was Joye not pulling his legs?“When did that happen?”“Just yesterday, Sir…” Joye cleared his throat, his forehead contorting into a deep frown. “I went to the company this morning and heard all the employees gossiping about it.”That his brother would become the new CEO?Who passed that ridiculous order?If it was the truth, he was supposed to be consulted about it first.It was probably just rumored.“See, Sir…” Joye brought out his

172. Support Him

Liam turned around.His fisted hands shook and he struggled to keep them back from flying to the guy's face. Daryl stood in front of him, his face bandaged all over.It was hard to recognize him with that much bandage and gauze. Liam couldn't believe he inflicted this much injury on his brother.He only wanted to bring him back to his senses with just a few punches.He didn't know what came over him.He couldn't stop, probably due to Daryl's provocative words.And if Haley hadn't come in time…“Cat got your tongue, Bro?” Daryl's question snapped him back to the present. “Ha! Is that regret I see on your face? Well, it's too late.”Too late for what?It wasn't like Liam was planning to apologize.An apology was the furthest thing in his mind.And Daryl acting so casually despite these injuries had him doubting if he wasn't faking it.He shouldn't have sustained this much injury. “Tsk.” Daryl chuckled, shoving both hands into his pants pocket. “I wonder what it feels like to sit on t

173. Moving In

…At DG Villa Estates. Instead of the blurriness, nausea, and headache, Haley woke up feeling lightheaded.All those heavy feelings were gone. The fever was no more, and apart from a bit of soreness across her body, there was no longer pain. Weird.Sitting up on the bed, she touched her forehead.The image of Liam beating up his brother flooded back to her mind, and everything that had transpired after that.It hadn't been a dream.Haley was a hundred percent sure. She could still feel the traces of the blood where she'd touched them… the fright lingered in her heart about what would become of Daryl. Glancing towards the large windows, Haley blinked at the blinding lights flooding in. She couldn't recall drawing the curtains apart.Was it… Liam?She shifted but something stung her arm, inciting a wince from her. Haley's eyes traveled to the spot, and on seeing the small bandage, realization sank in. She'd been administered an IV Drip.Not only that, there were dozens of drugs

174. The Easiest Way

“B- Bro- B-Big Brother…”Her trembling lips wouldn't let her speak coherently.Haley blinked rapidly at the man standing in front of her.Holding onto the door, she found herself unable to move an inch. “Because you don't want marriage, you're hiding here, Haley-” Andrew said, worry mixed with helplessness masking his expression. He stared at her from head to toe, shaking his head. “Lemme guess… you haven't eaten yet. Are you drowning yourself in sadness?”Haley looked down. Indeed, she'd look famished despite eating just now. After all, she was just recovering from a fever which almost took her life. “Uhm, Brother… why're you here?”She was stuttering again, and the frown on Andrew's face deepened.He made way to walk past her, but she blocked his path.To say her heart was racing was an understatement.What if Andrew went in and saw Liam's things?He'd definitely demand to know whom they belonged to.And everyone who knew Joye knew that he was Liam's assistant.What if her brot

175. A Part of An Act

The easiest way out?Haley couldn't help but glance at him again. Reading his expression carefully, she was suddenly mortified.Her fingers trembled as she gripped the hem of her dress, and she avoided his gaze at all costs. Damnit!Cursing inside, Haley shut her eyes.Why was she confused at her brother's sudden support of her wedding with Harry?The answer was obvious, and she failed to detect it. “Bro, I can explain…” Haley murmured, yet, she could say nothing further.As if her brother wasn't willing to listen either, he simply sighed and continued driving. Haley fought the urge to slap her forehead out of embarrassment. It was useless anyway. It was too late, but the last person she wanted to misunderstand her was her brother. “It's not what you're thinking…” She finally summoned the courage to say. Although, Haley doubted he'd believe it.Seeing was believing, and he must have gotten all his answers from the surveillance footage.Andrew owned the Villa Estates.He must h

176. Deadline!

…At The Villa Estates.Beep.Beep.Beep.That irritating sound made Liam want to crush the phone.He hung up on him.That damned man!“Where were you when he took her away!?” He turned to his assistant, ready to rain all his frustration on him.However, Joye was trembling in a corner, his head lowered, avoiding his eyes.“Answer me or lose your job!” Liam clenched his fists.Yet,The assistant's demeanor had Liam convinced that whatever he said would only worsen his rage towards him. Liam just had to return minutes ago to find Haley not home.While the guy he'd entrusted her to was foolishly lounging on the living room's couch, watching TV.Literally,The assistant had forgotten about Haley whom he claimed went to receive someone at the door.It was either Haley snuck out, or somebody took her away.It turned out to be the latter when Liam confirmed with the security men that Andrew Woods came and took her.“Damnit!”Cursing under his breath, Liam tossed his phone across the couch.

177. Her Wedding

…Before they arrived home, Haley's headache had already intensified.The dizziness also returned just like last night and she felt like fainting again. Sigh!Maybe she shouldn't have left the Villa yet. Her medications were there and she hadn't even recovered.Telling her brother that she was sick wasn't a good idea either. She'd rather not burden him. So Haley pretended she was sleeping throughout the rest of the ride.And she feared the burning fever inside her might give her away. On this warm afternoon, bouts of sweat poured down her forehead.“Are you alright?” Her brother's voice came from the driver's seat. He had not said anything ever since Liam called. He'd not spoken a word to her, but his anger was evident in his demeanor.Shaking her head, Haley forced a smile. “I'm fine.”Yet, her voice came out weak and hoarse. Haley couldn't wait to get home. She couldn't wait to get to her room and take a day-long rest.If possible, she'd avoid her parents at all costs. No

178. A Perfect Match

Such a tight deadline.The evening? Haley dropped her phone, sensing another headache coming. She thought the wedding was in three days, and she still had some time to alternate between resting and adding the finishing touches to the jewelry.Great!Just great!Wasn't William Nash the biggest asshole on earth?Was this how he treated his employees? Strangely, Haley didn't receive any message from him asking her to finish the jewelry soon. Something must have come up from Nelson's part and they needed the jewelry soon.Why did he ask the assistant to notify only Crystal and not her?Liam was still rooting for her failure so he could shame her.How unbelievable.Haley got down from the bed and washed up. Resting was a far-fetched dream when she had a heavy task ahead of her. She made herself some ginger tea to warm up her body's temperature.After drinking it, Haley felt a bit better.Her body no longer shivered, and the fever was gone. Knowing the ginger tea’s effect might wear

179. Engaged

…That guy again!Liam frowned, staring at the surveillance footage. After turning the whole city upside down, he was just notified that Haley had been on a date.Literally, she was with another man. Crushing the device in his hand, Liam tossed it across the floor. It was no wonder he couldn't find her in the Woods Mansion or her former apartment. Haley was ill.Yet, she still had the guts to go on a date in a coffee shop. Liam glanced at the other report sitting on the table.It contained all the information about that guy, the lawyer.Harry Lawson was from a first-class socialite family.Of all women, why would he have his eyes on an orphan girl?By the way, his family wasn't going to approve of his relationship with Haley. “Mr. Nash, these are the only details I have for now. But, tomorrow-”“No need.” Liam cut the private investigator off.These details were enough already.He needed no more information to confirm that Haley had gotten into a relationship with another man.F
