When Andrew married Hadley, Harry was very happy for him.

Andrew use to change girlfriends like clockwork. No woman stayed with him for longer than three months, but Hadley stayed with him for years.

When he heard they were divorced, he was shocked. Harry noticed that Hadley was more radiant than before.

"Hadley, how important are you to sit here?" he wondered.

Hadley shouldn't be occupying that prominent seat, according to Andrew. She wasn't even eligible to attend.

    Chuck entered at this point carrying Hadley’s bag. "Here it is," he said, giving it to her."Thank you," Hadley responded, nodding slightly.Chuck gave Andrew a quick look before heading out of the office.Hadley pulled out the pasted picture and lightly touched Horace' endearing face.Horace, your secret is no longer a secret,’ she thought. ‘I was unable to identify the person who revealed your secret a year ago.’With a hint of jealousy, Andrew looked into her sad eyes. Her eyes were full of love and worry for Horace.Jude, meanwhile, was obsessed with the pictures. Now that he had those texts, he could begin mining the first diamonds."I understand how devastating Horace' passing is for you, Had, but he is no longer with us. Try to move on.” Jude said.Hadley’s eyes snapped up, staring at his avaricious face with a keen glare.Jude met her icy look. What was the reason for Hadley’s seeming deadly intent?Hadley treated him as unimportant as an ant, looking at him with indifference.

    Andrew was aware that Hadley would not show up. "I'm going to go.In a few days, I'll see you again.” he murmured to Sheila, lowering his gaze a little.Andrew left while Sheila observed him in silence.She sighed deeply and for a long time. She felt powerless as she watched Andrew’s fleeing figure. He had been through so much. Only after the divorce had occurred did he start to regret it, and he would probably come to regret it even more in the future.Hadley was a beautiful girl, but he didn't love her. Sheila was powerless to stop it in this instance. She moved to effectively transfer the shares to Andrew a year ago. He fulfilled her expectations. He had taken the Shaw Group to unprecedented heights in less than a year.At last, Sheila’s troubled heart found some comfort. A strange smile appeared on her face as she sat down. Sheila was aware that Jude’s motives were far from straightforward and that he had purposefully engaged Laura with Andrew.Her eyes went icy, and her face bec

    Laura broke the bowl in her palm with fury."Damn the media! How dare they expose what happened last night!" She lost her temper.She saw flashes of the haughty Gwyneth and Paige’s visage. She found the two most suspicious.Jude read the news as well. Knowing that things were complicated, he scowled and noticed Laura’s anger. "Lau, what's going on? He questioned, "Why did Hadley hit you?"Even though he trusted Malakai, his driver, to watch over her, it seems that she was still able to cause problems.Laura had put forth a lot of effort over the past year to uphold her favorable public image, and she could not allow it to be destroyed in this manner.She told Jude what had transpired the previous evening in a furious manner.His and Mary’s expressions changed dramatically as they heard.Mary scowled at Laura’s stupidity. “Lau, you ought to have done something if you intended to take action. Disabling, just like that masculine star. However, you've merely created a small disturbance a

    Every day, Olivia had been taking good care of the kids. She looked after them more effectively than Hadley did.Knowing that Hadley was feeling upbeat today, she grinned at her. "Don't worry, Boss. Go take a shower. I'll look after the children."Hadley was a little uncomfortable because she was having stomach problems. She said to Olivia before grabbing some clothing and taking a shower in the bathroom, "I'll be back soon.”Lois continued to stare in Hadley’s direction as Olivia lifted her up and changed her diaper.Olivia comprehended. Hadley had never spent so much time apart from the two kids.Tino also seemed to miss Hadley. With adoring eyes, Olivia grinned. She did, after all, assist in the delivery of these two infants."You're so cute,” As Olivia changed Lois and Tino’s diapers, she said, "I wish I could be with you every minute."Now when both kids were on the bed, Olivia remarked, "Okay, let's wait for your mommy to come out and have your meal."The two children grinned

    "Let’s go.” Pedro said.Hadley stared at him, jolted out of her reverie, and gave him a small nod. "All right! Let's move on from our sorrow and return home."With a smile, Pedro assisted her in opening the car door.He got into the car with her, and the driver took off.From a distance, Andrew watched them go. Kaius drove over to pick Andrew up after he stood by the side of the road for some time.Andrew sat somberly in the backseat of the automobile, leaning against it as the car drove off. "Mr. Shaw, you left abruptly," Kaius muttered.“Ms. Beck returned home with her father after becoming quite unhappy.”Andrew pretended not to hear Kaius voice by closing his eyes.Seeing Andrew’s hesitation to speak, Kaius looked at him in the rearview mirror and chose to keep quiet.Andrew learned that the Beck family's situation was difficult after conducting additional research. Jude’s alertness might have been lessened with just a map. His worries concerning Hadley were therefore heightened

    "Bang bang..." With jealous eyes, the man beside Hadley swiftly loaded the bullet for her. Hadley had the best shooting ability he had ever seen, and she was stunning.Hadley seemed cool, haughty, and uninterested. "Bang, bang, bang..." This person was a hidden talent.Hadley’s hands were drenched in perspiration after firing hundreds of bullets.She removed the leather gloves and set down the gun. She grinned appreciatively at the man. "I enjoyed myself. I'll see you later.”The man grinned gracefully as well. "I’ll be waiting for you."Hadley departed from the firing range. She needed to return home.At home, her babies were waiting for her.Virginia called her as soon as she left the shooting range, asking, "Where are you?" Virginia was furious. "Had, I haven't seen you in a few months, and you didn’t even pay me a visit. You left my party so early. Why?”Hadley felt bad. In fact, when she was depressed just now, she didn't consider Virginia."I apologize, V. I departed becau

    "Let's avoid wasting each other's time because you detest me so much. Tonight, I'll move out. I'll see you tomorrow at the City’s court." Hadley said.She then made her way upstairs to gather her belongings. She was unable to bear to spend any more time at the home that had once been hers and Andre

    "Don't get too excited, Hadley. You are merely Andrew’s ex-wife, and tonight he'll purchase me the most amazing purple diamond and pop the question.”"Really? I'm trying to find it.” Hadley gave a smirk.After a brief delay, she shut the car door firmly and departed from the Shaw Group.Kingsley Fe

    "Drew, hahaha! Stop! Haha!”Hadley waited at the door, her heart hurting, as Laura’s lighthearted voice wafted out.It never occurred to her that she’ll return back from the hospital three days later and see this. As if leaving her to die in the flames wasn’t enough for them.Laura was blushing as

    "Mrs. Shaw, the office is on fire!" Panic cracked in the secretary's voice. "Mr. Shaw is in his office. I've called several times, but now he's not picking up his phone, and he's not answering the door."Hadley gasped for air. The glass of wine she had been drinking, fell down and broke on the floo
