Lahat ng Kabanata ng Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife : Kabanata 191 - Kabanata 200

…“Mr. Harrison, this is all messed up,” Amanda reported to Lucas, her fingers trembling with the tablet in her hands. “Due to the network seizure, the GK Group has lost billions in only twenty-four hours. This has never happened before.”Lucas sat up straight, his eyes darkening.Inside the Villa, the air inside the living room froze, sending chills down the secretary's spine.Amanda wiped off her sweat. “Phoenix City has never experienced network seizure for once. The internet connection is so strong. It is strange that only the GK Group has been affected, though. Who did we offend now, Mr. Harrison? Only a top hacker can do this job.”“What was Ivan doing?” Lucas asked, his features hardening, his eyes narrowing into deadly slits.Amanda shook her head, anxiety washing over her face. “Ivan could do nothing. He did his best but wasn't able to restore the network in the area. Exactly twenty hours after the seizure started, it stopped. Mr. Harrison…”Amanda trailed off as Lucas raised

Because Kate's voice was too loud, Heidi didn't have to put it on handsfree for Isla to hear what she said.“Again?” Isla stuttered. “What did he do this time?”“Isla, you're still on the Island with Heidi, right?” Kate questioned through the phone. “If Lucas Harrison is also still there, will you do me a small favor? I want to send you a deadly poison through a boat's captain. You'll poison Lucas Harrison's food-”“Ah!” Isla yelped. “What's wrong, Kate? Why are you so enraged?” Heidi asked, her once forgotten anxiety returning multifold. “Remember Steve got back at him by cutting off his company's network for a day…” Kate paused to catch her breath. “Well, guess what Lucas Harrison did! He set my brother's goods on fire!”“No way!” Heidi sprang to her feet. “You're joking, aren't you?”“My brother was about to launch a new tech product, the rarest chip in the world. Everything had been set, then the explosion happened. Steve does not have any other enemy apart from Lucas Harrison.

Heidi was tired.Exhausted,And exasperated at the same time.Again, he was telling her to come back to him. This was the thousandth time or probably the millionth time he had asked her that.“I hate repeating myself, Lucas.”“Neither do I, Heidi.”“I told you I'm never gonna come back to you. If you are tired of your mistress already, I am sure there are many other girls who admire you in Phoenix City.”“But I don't want any of those girls.” He pulled a hair strand out of her eyes, his expression tender. “Among all the girls in Phoenix City, you're the only one I want.”Heidi looked at him, and he stared back, neither blinking nor averting his gaze.Her heart did a strange drumming which she wished more than anything else that he wouldn't hear.“I don't admire you, Lucas.”“I know you once did,” he sighed. “Didn't you confess your love to me, Heidi? Did that love suddenly vanish?”“Yes…” Heidi nodded, her voice a whisper that simmered in the air.His expression flashed with hurt, the

Fortunately, something else caught Isla's attention before she investigated further. Her phone rang and she answered it. “Oh, you guys are here?” She said. “Then come straight to the resort, Ms. Olsen will be waiting for you.”Isla hung up and hurried Heidi up. “It's the crew from the construction company. They're almost near, Ms. Olsen. Please get ready.”“Are the documents ready?” Heidi asked, and Isla nodded. “I spent the whole night last night preparing them.”Heidi hurried inside the resort. She took a bath, and changed into a silky white blouse, almost transparent, atop a mini short. And she lingered in front of the mirror, studying her figure, her palms cupping her abdomen.Her eyes turned sullen and she blew out a sigh.Should she be relieved that her baby bump hadn't started showing yet?Once it appeared, would people notice it? How would she be able to walk around without being self-aware of the peering gazes? And more importantly, when would her baby bump appear?Those

Lucas's statement made Heidi frown in displeasure. It was as if the tourists would be here to live in a second home, catering to their own needs, instead of escaping the hectic life phase of the city and living carefreely, without any care in the world.That wasn't gonna work.Heidi looked at Raymond. “We will build chains of restaurants and fast food spots, so the tourists don't need to bother about cooking. There will be other business centers such as the laundry, the spa, and also hair salons and cyber càfe, catering to their daily needs.”Raymond nodded thoughtfully, jotting everything down. “Ms. Olsen, you come up with good ideas.”Heidi didn't know if her ideas were good. She just knew that she wouldn't follow a single of Lucas's advice.Raymond got to his feet. “I will design the layout and return to you. Then we can make some adjustments or proceed with the construction. Please have a good day, Ms. Olsen, Mr. Harrison.”He left shortly, and Heidi stared at the man looking ac
