Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 317. Who Will Be The Next Chairman of The AG Group?
“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
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 318. Being Labelled As A Traitor
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
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 319. The Only Way To Save The AG Group
“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
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 320. Demeaning The Family's Value
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
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 321. Will He Ever Change?
Heidi looked at him. Astonishment flashed in her eyes for a split second, replaced by the chill that hardened her features. Realizing that he'd failed to bottle in his anger, the words left his mouth before he thought twice about it. And the look in her eyes made him want to take back his words,...Unfortunately, it was too late. Thinking she might jump down his throat or do something worse, he didn't see her reaction coming. Silent and stiff, she turned the door's handle and left the car.On the vast dark street, she stood by the roadside, her hands folded across her chest, her features cascaded with a coldness that cracked his heart. Lucas took in a deep breath, fighting down his rage.“You know it's a silly idea.” He left the car and stood in front of her. “Neither Killian nor your cousin loves each other.”His words were greeted with silence. Heidi looked sideways, blinking rapidly. He'd prefer she yell at him and express her anger rather than her silence. Lucas couldn't even
Shouldn't Mess Up with My Hidden Heiress Ex-wife 322. Leave Or Face Consequences
…Heidi sat on the dining table, The Next Morning, picking at her food, her eyes straying to the chair across from her. What was he still doing upstairs? It had been thirty minutes and he hadn't come down for breakfast yet. Was he avoiding her?Was he still mad?Wasn't she supposed to be the one angry at him?Lucas didn't agree with her request. It was obvious, because he spoke no more about it even after they came back home last night. Poor Grandpa Jeffery. If only she could see him and reassure him that all would be alright. What assurance could she give though when she wasn't sure how far into the investigation the men Lucas hired were? “Madam, your food will lose its warmth. Why aren't you eating?” Mira appeared and dropped a tray of food. Heidi tapped her fingers on the desk, chewing her lips anxiously. “Can you check the study room if Lucas is still sleeping?”“The Young Master?” The maid scratched her head, looking hesitant. “You know the Young Master usually wakes up be

…At GreyHills City. Freya looked at the text message on her phone, her expression changing from calm to sad. Hearing footsteps approaching, she deleted the message and dropped her phone. “You aren't looking around. Didn't you want to come for a tour?”She lifted her head, staring at the man standing in front of her. “While you were away, I looked around. This place looks great.”“More appealing than the AG Group?” Steve sat beside her on the couch in his office. Freya nodded, looking around. “Yeah. I prefer this place.”“You have changed a lot, Heidi.” He took her chin in his fingers, turning her face to stare at him. “I think I'm starting to miss the old Heidi, fiery and honest.”“You said it yourself that you prefer the docile Heidi. It's a surprise that you're fed up with me already,” she replied in a soft tone, looking down. Steve sighed. “I'm just bored. But who am I to complain?” He shrugged. “This Heidi is less troublesome.”She nodded meekly, playing with her fingers. Mo

“M-My Uncle?” Freya stammered, a look of fear and disbelief casting over her features. She shook her head, “No.”Steve gave a sarcastic laugh. “Is it so hard to digest? You're in denial, right?”She went silent for a while, avoiding his gaze. “Look at me.” Steve made her look up. “Do you doubt what I said?”“I'm not in denial…” She sighed, her voice hoarse. “I just want to know what my Uncle did for the whole family to deserve this.”Steve narrowed his eyes. “Are you sure you want to know?”Freya bobbed her head. “Won't you start hating me after you hear it?”“I know you're trying to destroy the AG Group, and I didn't stop loving you for that. What else will make me hate you?”Her words never ceased to surprise him. He looked at her as if he was staring at a different person. Steve sat on the couch, pulling her down with him. “Just so you know… I don't regret what I'm doing.”“I understand, Steve. Especially if it's my family that hurt yours.” Freya lent him a listening ear, urging
