That’s our deal

After a 30-minute drive, Heather finally found the place where the Great Detective was. It was a remote area, which was a good choice when one wanted to hide from the public.A smirk played by the Great Detective’s lips as he looked at her walking toward him. I’ve really missed her, he thought to himself. Then, he spread his arms wide and said to her, “Hattie, let me give you a hug.”Heather rolled her eyes at him. “Zayne, be serious. I’m not in the mood to joke around with you.”Upon hearing her words, he put down his arms in disappointment but the smile on his face remained as bright as ever.“Hattie, who made you so angry?” he asked in a girly voice. He was not only a pervert but feminine in character, not to mention bisexual.“Please act more normal. You are becoming rather gay lately,” Heather responded with a look of disgust on her face.Zayne Lee was unfazed by her reaction and said, “You dislike me for being a pervert, right? So, I thought that you may like me if I act this wa

Another two weeks

Heather left Zayne’s temporary residence with a fuzzy mind. In all honesty, she didn’t even know how she got into the car. In the end, she started the car with a million thoughts running through her mind.The weather was rather fine today, with the afternoon sun lazily spilling light over the land. It was an afternoon that Heather would usually love but she had lost the mood to enjoy the sunshine today. Sitting in the driver’s seat, she kept rubbing her temple while biting her lips.The lack of rest recently had made her migraine more severe. She wondered if Myra was being properly treated in the hands of the kidnappers, and Heather couldn’t forgive herself when she thought of this.At this rate, Heather might push her own body to the limits before Myra was rescued. Every day and night, she was unable to close her eyes and have a good night’s sleep; sometimes, she would fall asleep but would later be awakened by nightmares.Little did she know that Myra was actually having a good time

A new mysterious force

A week soon went by. Heather had been locking herself in her house and refused to come out even when Matthias came looking for her.On this day, Heather was sitting at the dining table and her gaze intermittently landed on Everly. It was so obvious to the point that even the latter took notice of her gaze.Everly tried to muster her courage multiple times to ask Heather the reason for looking at her so often but in the end, her courage dissipated and no words escaped her lips.In the past week, the kidnapper had not contacted them, but Zayne had made a breakthrough in the investigation—he managed to discover the identity of the man whom Everly had met that day.Heather was at Zayne’s temporary residence. In her hand was a photo of a man with an unfamiliar face; she couldn’t recognize him at all.“You don’t know this person?” Zayne got straight to the point and asked.“I have never met him before.” Heather had never thought that it would be a man that she did not know of. She had made

Dirty little secret

Upon hearing that, Zayne shrugged. What a tease Heather is, not giving me any leeway to flirt with her!Now, not only could he not take advantage of her through his actions, but he couldn’t take advantage of her by his words either. And so, Zayne couldn’t help but question his decision. If he hadn’t come over so easily, he might have been able to negotiate something for himself.“Don’t think of doing anything funny,” Heather snapped at him now as she eyed him viciously.He could only offer her a helpless smile in response. He didn’t dare to argue with her, since one could only compromise upon meeting a woman such as Heather. Not too long ago, he thought she had crossed a line but now, he was mesmerized by her. No matter how outrageous her request, he was willing to go through hell or high water for her.Once again, he shrugged. Unfortunately for him, she greatly disliked this action and thought he seemed all too much like an unreasonable hooligan.“You’re so cruel to me, Heather!” Afr

Hitting the mark

As the two cousins stared at each other, Matthias held his breath. He could see that, due to the sharpness in Heather’s gaze, distress was already starting to show on Everly’s face. Even he himself could not bear it.“I must have been very annoying when I was young,” Heather sneered. Now that she had a better understanding of Everly, she was shocked and even felt a little bit hateful.She never minded the people who were enemies of her from the beginning, like Blake Langston. At worst, they would fight to the death. However, she hated those who acted kindly toward her in the beginning and turned around to stab her in the back. In short, Everly’s behavior had greatly disappointed her.Not only had Everly hurt Heather, but she was putting all of the Langston Family in danger. Her selfish actions crossed the line, much more than Blake’s idiocy did.Meanwhile, Everly offered her own derisive sneer, feeling like Heather was hinting at something. “That’s not possible, Heather. You were alwa

A stupid mistake

Step by step, Heather ascended the stairs to the second floor. Her gaze was as fierce as a hawk’s and she was giving off a murderous aura.These few days, Robert hadn’t sought her out for a chat. It seemed he had realized that something troubled her and had decided to give her some space.The freedom thrilled Heather, for she was most afraid of facing him during this time. If he pushed, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to lie to him.When she returned to her small space, she took off her coat and prepared to take a shower. Ever since Myra’s kidnapping, she had found every day to be torturous yet passing too quickly.After her shower, she came out wrapped in a towel. Her bare shoulders were alluring and her hair was still dripping water. Since there was no particular reason for her to do her hair during this period, she simply let it air dry while she sat in front of the computer, frowning deeply.After turning on the computer and reading a few lines on it, she sighed softly.

The uncontrollable duo

After hanging up on Zayne, Heather threw the flight ticket that she just bought into the trash. Since the kidnappers weren’t shaken by her departure, she would play along with them.And so, she decided to have a good time in Singapore. It wasn’t her first time visiting the country, but it was her first time going there without any official duties on hand.As that was the case, she decided to have a stroll around the city. It did, in fact, have its charms. Never before had she walked through its crowds in such a mood and as she wandered around, she almost lost herself to a trance.Truth was, she felt more relaxed being so far away from Bradfort City. While she was in the city, every day felt as suffocating as if she had an invisible net thrown over her—however much she wanted to do, she was powerless.The air quality in Singapore was quite good and she couldn’t help taking in a deep breath. On the other hand, the air in Bradfort City was too polluted and breathing in too deeply on a sm

A night in Singapore

In Singapore, the gentle breeze that brushed by in the night gave Heather a strange feeling. She was, after all, in the streets of a foreign country, so it would only be natural for her to miss Bradfort City, especially the people there. All of a sudden, Matthias’ face popped up in her head.She shrugged away the messy thoughts in her head, then cast a glance at the hustle and bustle not far away. After a fleeting hesitation, she decided to head in. It was a European-styled building and from its exterior, it looked nothing like a casino at all. This was a casino in Singapore that was operated by Genting Corporation from Malaysia.Gambling was legal here. Heather wanted to experience the exhilaration that was induced right before one won or lost a game, which she found a rather effective way to destress.When she entered the building, the greeter at the entrance couldn’t help but cast a few more glances at her—it seemed like nobody could ignore her beauty no matter where she was. Her r

The mysterious man

Heather elegantly boarded the cab without even casting the poor man a glance, so he had nobody but himself to blame for messing with her tonight. She opened the window wide and the night breeze brushed her face; she even asked the driver to drive faster as she liked to listen to the sound of the breeze and feel the cold wind on her face.Clutching her phone in her hand, she gazed out of the window, her eyes revealing the hint of coldness in her character—a coldness that resembled the night sky tonight.The other phone in her handbag suddenly rang at this untimely moment. The sound attracted her gaze and she opened her handbag to fish out her phone. Upon seeing the strange number on the screen, Heather hesitated if she should pick up the call.In the end, she did not do so. She dared not answer calls from people that she did not know to avoid trouble. Nonetheless, the person on the other end of the line was rather persistent. Upon seeing the call with the same strange number coming in

Unpredicted fluctuations

In the last few minutes, Heather contacted Zayne since there was no point hiding anything from him at this moment. The reason Zayne’s progress was rather slow was largely due to her reservation—she refused to reveal much about her family’s conflict.“I—” She paused the moment she said that one word. However, time was running out and she couldn’t put Myra’s life at risk.“I have to make a decision,” she blurted. Meanwhile, Zayne, who was on the other end of the line, had a bewildered look on his face and he wondered why she suddenly said something so strange.Before he could make sense of the situation, Heather ended the call. Feeling speechless, he looked at his phone, puzzled by her words.Heather soon gave the mysterious man a call. She now had no other choice as all she could do was to follow what he said.“I agree.” Her tone was adamant.The mysterious man looked at the timer on the coffee table, a complacent smile playing by the corner of his lips. The timer showed that there was
