Lahat ng Kabanata ng Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife : Kabanata 311 - Kabanata 320

…At GreyHills City. Sitting across from the man at the dining table, Freya didn't touch her food, staring at the table blankly, a sullen look on her face.“Won't you eat? What's the matter now, Heidi?” Steve said, sounding displeased. “Do you think starving yourself will change anything?”Looking up, Fraya murmured, “You wouldn't let me attend Grandma's anniversary. Steve Anderson, you've kept me locked up in this Villa for many days. Why?” Steve frowned, gripping the utensil. “What's the use of whining about that? You're not a child, Heidi.”“But I want to go out.” She sighed. “Is there a reason why you are doing all these? Would you mind telling me why you wouldn't even let me manage the company anymore?”Steve sighed, rising to his feet. He circled the table and stood behind her, dropping his palms on her shoulders. “You want to know why?” He whispered, leaning down. “Because you cook good food. You take good care of the house. I am sure you can also take good care of the child

“Lucas Harrison, you wouldn't treat your father this way! What is my sin, by the way!?” Blake asked. “For taking sides with Tracy,” Lucas replied. “And trying to protect her.”Blake was so mad that he opened his mouth but coherent words refused to come out.Lucas grabbed Tracy's hand. She was trying to sneak out, thinking he didn't notice her. “Ah- Honey!”“Call me that name and I will remove your teeth.”Tracy covered her mouth instinctively. She shut her eyes in pain, touching her stomach. “N-No, it hurts!”Lucas ignored her pretentious act. He dragged her out of Blake's quarters. Taking her to his car, he made her enter it, slammed the door shut, and ordered the Driver, “Take her to the Villa on the outskirts of the city.”“W-What!?” Tracy exclaimed. “Lucas Harrison, you're joking right?” Her pupils expanded and her body trembled with fear. The Driver started the car and she beat at the window. “Please don't do this to me! I swear I'll listen! I'll never leave your quarters- Bl

~“What took you so long outside?” Heidi asked when Lucas returned to the living room. “And where's Killian?”Lucas sat beside her but she shifted away. “He has left,” he answered her question. “So soon?” She murmured. “He promised to stay for dinner.”“He also promised to give me a ride back home,” Isla said in a crestfallen voice. Lucas stared from Heidi to Isla. If they knew what Killian was up to, would they still be nice towards him?“You asked me to come, Mr. Harrison. Is there any news you want to share?” Isla retained a professional look.Lucas nodded. “About the recent scandals. Steve Anderson is a culprit.”Should he add ‘also’? Because Killian's speculation couldn't be easily overlooked. What if that family member was in collusion with Steve?Heidi's expression turned sullen, and Isla looked disappointed as well. “We aren't so shocked about it,” she said, and Heidi agreed.“Steve Anderson has been targeting the AG Group from the start. The reason is unclear, though.”“N

The next chairman of the AG Group?The shock hit Heidi like waves, sending her staggering back, grateful that Lucas caught her before she fell. “What are they saying? Grandpa's sick?” She shook her head, convinced she'd seen wrong and heard wrong from the TV. Heidi turned to Lucas, the horror in her heart reflecting in his eyes. “They're lying, aren't they?”Lucas remained silent, his eyes flashing with worry. He didn't answer her question, probably because he knew the truth wouldn't settle well with her. Who was she kidding?She'd seen for herself in the cemetery. Grandpa Jeffery's health wasn't in good condition.A heart attack?“I have to see him.” The words left her mouth before she thought about them. “Lucas, I must see Grandpa.”Heidi was already darting for the door by the time she finished the last sentence. Lucas hurried after her, and he held her back. “You know you can't-”“Why not? Grandpa's sick!” Heidi said with exasperation. “Should I remain here and just stare at

The only way to save the AG Group was through marriage.Would that be the only solution? And won't the family get disappointed in the long run?Considering marriage as the only way to save the Group would be demeaning the family's values. Other socialites would look down on them, a thing that had never happened to the family before despite the AG Group constantly causing headlines. “Did you see Grandpa? How's he?” Lucas asked Heidi as she returned to the parking lot. Even if Heidi had the opportunity to, how could she have the mind to see Grandpa Jeffery when he was greatly mad at her? She sat in the passenger's seat, silent for a while, trying to digest the family's decision. Lucas was trying his best to help. But just a secret collaboration would do nothing to make the AG Group stand back on its feet, right?Time was running out. Grandpa Jeffery was ill due to the anxiety caused by the Group's plight. Sometimes, Heidi wondered what it was like to be a normal person without ha
