Semua Bab Divorced Heiress Strikes Back : Bab 21 - Bab 30

A collaboration from the NK Enterprise?Now Haley didn't see that coming. Why would Liam want a collaboration with her brother's company when they'd just finished fighting over the necklace?“You're pulling my legs.”“See for yourself.” Her brother pushed the laptop forward, and Haley sat on his desk, scrutinizing the email. A detailed collaboration message from the NK Enterprise. Haley didn't have a good feeling about this. “What are you gonna do about it?” She asked Andrew who only laughed softly. “I know what you're thinking, Little Sis.” Andrew leaned forward, his eyes glinting with mischief. “Because I also have a feeling that William Nash is up to something.”Well, anyone with the Woods blood would be difficult to be trifled with. Detecting that something fishy was about to go on was a piece of cake for Haley, talk more of her brother whose intelligence couldn't be underestimated.Did Liam think that he could mess with her family?“I'll turn down the collaboration-”“No!” H

“Ah, Madam left with him again?” Joye looked displeased. “Mr. Nash, you have to step up your game, otherwise, he might snatch your wife.”“Just go after them before it's too late!” Liam hollered. As Joye scurried away, Liam tossed the document into the lady's hands, who stood beside him.“I'll scan it online and email you the soft copy, Mr. Nash. It's a pleasure collaborating with you.” The secretary lingered. “Mr. Nash, there's something I need to tell you…” she lowered her voice. “Do you know that Young Lady, Haley, spends most of her time in Mr. Woods's office? People say she's his mistress.”“I have a feeling you're also interested in her, Mr. Nash…” she went on. “Too bad, she's a gold-digger and can't benefit a man like you.”A gold-digger?Liam was beginning to think that despite not wanting to believe it. Strangely, when he called her gold-digger, she didn't deny it. Had Haley been fooling him all this time? He needed not to hear those words from the lady whom he didn't eve

An eye for an eye.She knew what she was doing. Staring at him without batting an eye, she openly admitted she did it intentionally. What had she turned into? Was she even the same docile girl he knew?“You even dare to admit it in my presence,” Liam gritted out, grabbing her arm. “How dare you frame my mother without considering her reputation?”Tilting her head sideways, her subtle smile flamed the fury in his heart. Liam wanted to wipe that smile off her face, but how, when everyone was watching? “Why should I consider her reputation, Liam?” Haley replied, her voice indifferent. “Remember your mother tried to kill me.”Well, didn't Liam save her? Shouldn't she be grateful?“I give you two minutes. Follow the security and clear their names, Haley. Then I might consider forgiving you.”She let out a soft laugh before rolling her eyes, an action that made him wonder if she would even carry out his orders. “In your dreams…” Haley murmured. “Let Vera Nash apologize to me first for

…At NK Enterprise, the next day,Sitting inside his office, Liam swiveled his chair and faced the transparent floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the crowded city below, Staring into nothingness, with a tornado of thoughts swirling in his mind. Now and then, he'd find himself glancing at the TV screen, anticipating sudden news to pop up about the downfall of the DG Group. Why wasn't anything happening yet? Was Joye's plan even reasonable? Liam would also look at his phone, his mood dampening more at the thought that Haley would give him a call, but she didn't. The scandal was supposed to have a toll on DG Group's reputation, why weren't they making any moves yet?“Please exercise a little bit of patience, Sir. There's no way this plan will fail.” Came his assistant's voice beside him. Snapping out of his thoughts, Liam shot him a glare. “Don't you know how to knock?”“But I've been standing here for almost an hour now, Mr. Nash.” Joye stared at his wristwatch. “I know you're w

…At DG Jewelry Corp.Haley yawned and stretched her arms, exhausted from sorting out the stack of documents in front of her, a job reserved only for the secretary. “Thirsty?” Andrew brought her a glass of water. Pursing her lips, Haley pushed it aside. “It's not that hard to be my secretary.” Andrew chuckled. “Come on, cheer up!”How was it supposed to be easy when all the paperwork would now be Haley's responsibility to handle? She stared at her brother incredulously. “I know you're secretly punishing me for running from home.”“Nah! Haven't I forgiven you already?” Planting one hand on the desk, he leaned forward and ruffled her hair with the other hand. “I can keep a close watch on you and protect you from people like William Nash now that you're my secretary.”“Speak about that scumbag, why hasn't he showed up?” Andrew pondered.Haley glanced at her wristwatch. The work hours were almost over. Did Liam not see the conference on the news? “Is he perhaps intimidated?” Her bro
