Looks like someone is already impatient, Matthias thought, placing the document back into the folder. After thinking about it again and again, he took out the document once more from its folder. Then, he stood up and strode to the paper shredder. It’s better that no one else sees this, he decided, putting the document into the shredder.Before he moved here, that person already instructed him to defeat Hart Group, and not only did that person want Locke Group to take over Hart Group’s position in the business scene of Bradfort, but he even wanted to occupy the Hart Group.Back then, Matthias was devoted to his promise, but he was wavering now because he admired Tony and didn’t want to destroy the Hart Group. At least, he didn’t want to play the role of the villain as there were too many complicated relationships involved.In addition, he now had plans to be with Heather, so he really didn’t want to harm Hart Group. Compared to destroying Hart Group, he wanted to destroy Locke Group ev

All of a sudden, what was lovely weather turned into a massive downpour. Resting her arms on the window frame, Heather stared out of the window. As soon as they got to their seats, the unanticipated rain came storming.She observed the scurrying pedestrians outside the window and thought that the storm was unusual, given how it wasn’t reported in the weather forecast. There were only a few passersby who put up their umbrellas calmly. The messy scenery was indeed more captivating than the lifelessness inside the store.The unconcerned trio appeared particularly picturesque in this gloomy weather as they relaxed in the shop. Heather casually traced circles on the rim of her cup, looking especially elegant from the side—a view that stunned Leon, who was sitting opposite her.On the other hand, Myra looked extremely serene. An entirely different aesthetic, but no way lesser than that of Heather’s. Perhaps, thanks to the contrast in their personalities, this duo was able to stick around ea

It was Heather’s first time bringing Leon back to the Langston Residence, so the sight of them walking side by side naturally attracted the attention of other pedestrians. Excited, Leon spat some meaningless chatter as he scanned around the residence.“It’s like a medieval castle! Ha!” He laughed loudly as he was astonished by the residence, as if it was one of the iconic buildings in Bradfort City, although he might have been exaggerating.“Shut up,” Heather muttered furiously as she was triggered by Leon’s running mouth.When it came to her, Leon would always find something about her to pick on. He would have so many teases building up in his mind that he had trouble finding words to express them.“Heather, is this why you’ve been reluctant to bring me to your residence?” Presently, Leon finally acknowledged that the reason Heather wouldn’t bring him home was to prevent him from making fun of her.“Shut up, I said. Is this how you behave as a guest?” Heather shot him a look from the

During dinner, Heather turned to Leon who was seated beside Robert. As if they had a tacit agreement, both Robert and Leon did not mention anything about the conversation they had back in the study room. As she approached her usual seat, the rest of the family entered the dining room accordingly. Upon entering the room, Everly instantly noticed the handsome lad sitting next to her grandfather.For him to show up here, he must be Heather’s acquaintance. Then, Everly took a quick peek at Heather and wondered, How could she attract so many men? There’s even a whole variety of them!With that, Everly couldn’t help but feel jealous as men wouldn’t notice her. Even if she became ten times prettier, no one would take a second glance at her.When her gaze fell upon Leon, he immediately noticed the admirable young lady and looked at her with interest.As Heather and Everly were sitting not far apart from each other, he could easily compare their beauty. Much to his surprise, Everly was remarka

On Matthias’ way home, Heather initiated a call to keep him company—something she rarely did. With her usual dull tone, she chatted with him about whatever came to mind and before they realized it, Matthias had already reached home.When he entertained her with a joke Lara once told him, he could hear her subtle chuckle. Then, she stopped her giggle to inquire, “Are you home yet?” All along, she was sitting at her study desk, reading a book while chattering with Matthias.“Yup. Just got to park real quick.” Having much left to say to Heather, Matthias was reluctant to end the call as hearing her voice made him feel like she was right beside him. Swiftly, he parked the car into the garage and grabbed his phone as he got out of the car. Unexpectedly, Heather didn’t hang up on him. What a pleasant surprise! he thought to himself. However, given the pile of mess they had gone through that night, nothing else could intrigue him anymore.“Heather,” he ecstatically called out. There were onl
