Lahat ng Kabanata ng Divorced Heiress Strikes Back : Kabanata 51 - Kabanata 60

A promise?What promise? Haley glanced at him, taking in his serious expression. She couldn't recall making him any promises.Ah, did he mean repaying him for saving her from the basement? Maybe Daryl expected her to return the favor which was normal.But Daryl didn't ask for anything in return, and she couldn't remember making any promises to him.Well, it was only right that she returned his kind gesture. “I'll treat you to dinner, what do you think?” She asked. Daryl didn't nod or reply, a faint smile forming on his face. Weird! Was that not what he expected to hear? “You weren't referring to the basement, were you?” “Forget it.” He shook his head, laughing softly. But Haley only found his behavior strange. If he wasn't referring to saving her from the basement, what other favor had he done her?Was it about driving her home last night or this food she was eating?“What do we have here?” He changed the topic, taking the tablet from her hand and checking out her draft. “Y

~Divorce!Didn't she have any other thing to say?Seriously, Liam was fed up. He'd had enough of her mentioning divorce all the time. But she would soon return to her senses. Once she fell into his trap and he taught her a lesson, she'd stop mentioning divorce and things would go back to normal. As her figure disappeared from the rooftop, he unclenched his fists.In no time, Haley would admit that she couldn't do the assignment. Then he would catch her red-handed and finally teach her a lesson! Minutes later, Liam was still standing in the same spot, his stare fixed on the direction she took. Joye appeared, scratching the back of his neck, his eyes full of confusion. “Sir, I just bumped into Madam. She appeared mad though.”“Are you two fighting, Sir?” Joye went on. “Why was the Madam in a bad mood?”“None of your business.” Liam broke out of his trance, shoving both hands into his pants pockets. “Have you sent Leah home?”“Erm, yes.” Joye nodded.The assistant cleared his thr

…Resting her head on the seat's headrest, Haley shut her eyes, exhaling deeply. She didn't even work hard today, why was she so tired? But then, Liam's pestering was enough to exhaust her mentally. Her mind wandered to his assistant's visit to her cubicle earlier and the words he said. What did that man take her for?Ha! She'd really outdid herself in the past to please him.Did he think he could trick her into his office by faking illness? If Liam was truly ill, he wouldn't have come to the company. Letting go of thoughts about Liam, Haley brought that document out of her bag.She checked out the instructions and information regarding the bride's fashion preferences and style.The design must also align with the theme of the wedding.It was meant to be a surprise for the bride so she must make it perfect. If Liam truly wanted to test her, he would have given her an easier job. But his goal was evident. He wanted to toss her out of the company.As Haley went through the docume

…At DG Jewelry Corp.Sitting inside her cubicle, Haley's eyes were glued to the tablet in her hands, yet, her mind was somewhere else.She couldn't help but glance at her wristwatch now and then.Strange! Since the work hours started and now that it was past noon, that man had not disturbed her. Shouldn't she be relieved?Returning her attention to work, Haley picked up the tablet's pen and started working on the first draft of the design.She'd only drawn a few lines however when her mind subconsciously drifted to Liam again. Did he quit so soon? That was impossible. Maybe he was busy at the other company. “Hey, Haley.” Someone stopped in front of her desk. Looking up, Haley had the urge to groan. “Hi, Amby.”“What are you doing?” Amby checked out the tablet from her hands. “Working on a new project?”“Yeah.” Haley nodded. And she could do with some peace. Maybe she should go to the rooftop. “Let me see.” Amby suddenly snatched the tablet, her face turning green as she acce

“Uhm, Will. Once you finish this apple, don't forget to take more, okay? I'll bring more fruits later, they'll boost your immune system.” Her silky voice, soft and smooth, floated in the room. As if pretending to not notice the other people inside the room, Leah shifted closer to the man, offering him the apple. “Ahem! What a sight!” Daryl chortled. “Grandma, I didn't know you'd adopted another daughter. No wonder Big Bro no longer pays attention to me!”“This one's not adopted! She's not even a family member!” Grandma Lily grumbled. “What is an outsider doing in this place!?”Leah flinched, shifting away from Liam. Her fingers shook as she dropped the apple and knife on a tray. “She's my secretary, Grandma,” Liam replied in a tired voice. “Is she supposed to be here? Isn't she the same girl that likes to visit Vera?”“Grandma-”“Young Lady, you can get out. I'll have a family discussion with my grandchildren and granddaughter-in-law.”“Oh…” Leah got down from the bed, her body tr
