All Chapters of Divorced Heiress Strikes Back : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Obviously blinded by rage, Vera let her mouth loose without considering first where she was standing. As she finished speaking, she gasped and covered her mouth. But her words had already caught Grandma Lily's attention. The Old Woman all but stood up from the couch with Haley's support, her peering eyes boring through Vera as she approached her. “Can you repeat that, Vera? Do you mean Willy bought a necklace for another girl?”Vera stammered, “No- No, you heard me wrong, Mother. I- I wanted to say something else-”And she accidentally spilled a secret. “Wait… does that necklace belong to you or Haley?” Desmond was equally puzzled, directing his question at Leah. With each second that passed by, Leah's face turned paler and paler. She lowered her head, avoiding everyone's gaze, especially Grandma Lily's. Pushed into a tight spot by Vera who couldn't control her mouth, would Leah be able to save her head? “Uhm, actually…” Lips trembling, Leah trailed off. But then hard footste

…At DG Jewelry Corp, the next day. Stepping into the company, Liam accessed the hundreds of cubicles spread over the large area that belonged to the employees. Each employee was dressed smartly, eyes pinned on their computers' screen, working smartly and diligently. Shoving both hands inside his pocket, Liam nodded shortly in approval. Not bad. This company didn't need as much restructuring as he'd anticipated. He would have no difficulty in running things here. Although he didn't want all this. And where was that crazy girl? “Sir, I can't wait to witness your battle with any man that dares to chase the Madam,” Joye sputtered on, holding his briefcase and hurrying to catch up with Liam's long strides. “If you follow my new advice, Madam will never think of letting you down again.”Joye's new advice made some sense, Liam had to agree. But Haley was getting more stubborn day by day. Would it be an easy task to carry out that plan without any challenges from her?He never expe

Vera released Haley.Throwing her head back, the woman laughed so hard, her menacing voice shaking the walls. The bodyguard laughed along, holding his stomach and pointing at Haley. “Did you hear her, Gary? Haley wants me to beg her on my knees,” Vera said mockingly, imitating a child's voice. Then she sighed. “So the rumors are true that the stupid wife of my son has developed mental problems.” “Tsk tsk tsk.” Vera clicked her tongue, shaking her head. “If you succeed in making me kneel for you one day, Haley, I might as well kill myself.”“Is that so?” Haley raised an amused brow. “Vera Nash, never forget your promise.”Vera waved a dismissive hand and rolled her eyes. “I won't waste my time on a crazy girl like you. Only give her food once a day, Gary. Haley will remain locked up in this basement until she learns her lesson and apologizes to me.”“For your own good, apologize now, Young Miss,” the bodyguard said to Haley. “You guys might as well keep on dreaming,” Haley snicker

The basement had been Daryl's favorite hiding spot. He'd spend the whole day there sometimes without anyone noticing, until whenever he decided to come out. “Ah! The basement! You're right, Young Master!” The servant exclaimed. But on Liam's mother's face was an alarmed look. “No one has visited that basement for years! How can a human being be hiding there?”“B-But, Madam, we've searched everywhere else except-”“Shut up!” Vera cut the young maid off with a resounding slap. Her action was too sudden, jolting everyone including Liam. “You! Vera, why are you being harsh? Why can't you show mercy to the servants?” Grandma Lily stared at her in displeasure. “Can't you see she's disrespectful, Mother? How dare she speak when I was speaking?”The young maid only said a simple sentence that everyone here could say. Liam frowned. “That’s wrong, Mum.”“You. You're also backing her up!” Vera blinked her teary eyes. “Why does everyone hate me in this house? I thought I have the right to

Right!Why didn't Liam think about that?It was the quickest way to know whether Haley or his mother was speaking the truth. But then, Did they really need the surveillance camera?How could he deny the obvious truth when it was right in front of him?If it turned out his mother was lying, it wouldn't only be humiliating her in public,Her reputation would also be gone. “My grandson is smart as always.” Grandma Lily nodded thoughtfully. “Mary, go get the security men to check out the surveillance footage from last night.”“Haley dear…” Grandma Lily faced her, cupping her cheeks. “Grandma will get justice for you this time. This evil woman will learn her lesson today.”While Vera's pupils constricted, her face paling, the honesty in Haley's gloomy eyes was transparent.Liam shifted in discomfort. As the Stewardess walked away, he cleared his throat. “Mary, come back.”“Huh?” The Stewardess stopped walking. “Is anything the matter, Grandson?” Grandma Lily asked with concern. “Why d
