For three years, Heidi served Lucas with all her heart, showering him with endless love and doing her best to be the perfect housewife. But on their third wedding anniversary, he slammed the divorce papers on her face. "Did you think I would never know that you married me because of money? Whatever Grandpa paid you, I will triple it. Just sign the divorce." To him, she was just a gold digger. Heidi's reality shattered, and everything made sense when she found out that his Ex had returned. For him, she endured hardships and humiliation. She not only gave him her heart, but also dropped her identity as the wealthiest heiress in Phoenix City. Realizing that all her efforts were futile… She will never be the hopelessly desperate housewife anymore. Lucas is soon to know that he "Shouldn't Mess Up with His Hidden Heiress Ex-wife." As layers upon layers of secrets get revealed, he'll be crawling on his knees, holding her leg and begging her to come back. No way! She has an empire to inherit.
View MoreThe 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
“Why do you bring this up? Can't you at least wait until Dad recovers from his illness?” That was her father's voice. The usually cool man sounded angry. “We all know the only remedy to his illness is saving the AG Group,” Harold Olsen argued. “So this is the best time to speak about it. Dad, do you agree with the collaboration, because it is the only way to save the Group.”“Which collaboration are you talking about, Harold?” Grandpa Jeffery's weak voice sounded. “We're all waiting for Heidi to come back.”“You know that girl will never come back. Once she gets married, she bids the family goodbye for good. Who knows, she might also spend three years with Steve Anderson or even five years before she remembers about her family after he divorces her.”“What are you saying? Why do you always wish bad for Heidi, Harold!?” Regina berated. “I'm not wishing bad for her. Your daughter is just unreliable. She can't even get Steve Anderson to help us out in this critical moment!”“My husban
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
“I don't blame you for getting angry. But can you tone it down sometimes, Heidi?” Lucas reached out, pulling her into his arms for a hug. Heidi wondered why she was even allowing him to. “Won't you trust me that I'll never do anything that I'll harm you? Even if I'm hiding something, it must be to protect you.”His words made sense. But wasn't he always fond of hurting her feelings? He might be treating Tracy like an angel the way he was doing with her. Behind her back, of course. A responsible man would never ignore a woman he'd made pregnant.What was she even doing here?As if he could hear her thoughts, Lucas went on, “If you're worried about Tracy, I have sent her to the Villa on the City's outskirts. She'll spend many months there. Tracy and Stella will no longer be our problem.”“Who told you I'm worried about Tracy?” Heidi grumbled, struggling to break out of the hug, but he held her firmly.“Did you really chase after me in college as well?” His question came out of nowhe
~“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
As Lucas walked into the living room, the laughter and voices got louder. He walked into Heidi sitting beside Isla on a couch, across from Killian who sat on the opposite couch.They were so engrossed in their conversation that they failed to notice him. “Ha! Aren't you pathetic!” Killian joked. “Lucas Harrison sure is a heartless man.”“I know, right.” Heidi's eyes were flaring. “How is it possible that he never noticed me?”“No! It means you've wasted your time.”“Which is the saddest thing on earth.”“Now that you and Mr. Harrison are together, Ms. Olsen, that's no longer necessary, right?” Isla said. “I mean, it's not his fault for not recognizing you.”“Yeah, it was my fault for chasing after him like a bee!” Heidi stabbed the apple sitting on the tray on her lap. “Don't blame yourself, Heidi. It is his fault for not noticing such a beautiful lady.” Killian cracked up. “The Dude was so blinded by that vixen's love! I bet he's regretting it now!”Lucas's expression darkened. “W
“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
…At Phoenix City. Lucas's car drove into the Harrisons Mansion, his face ebbed with worry. As he closed his eyes, the image of her cold eyes glaring at him made his eyes snap open.He pinched the space between his brows. Tapping his feet on the ground impatiently, he couldn't wait to teach those women a lesson. His phone rang and he answered it. “Mr. Harrison, I have great news.”The Detective's announcement was supposed to make him happy. Why did he feel apprehensive on the other hand?Great news might mean the culprits have been found.And then all matters would be resolved and Heidi would leave his Villa. “I am listening,” he said through the phone. From the other end, the detective cleared his throat. “Well, it is actually good news and bad news. However, I will break the good news first.”Lucas found himself sighing in relief. “Freya has just updated me with new info. Steve Anderson truly has a hand in those scandals. Weren't they similar to the previous ones?”“Did she
…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
