"You know damn well she had an asthma attack," Hadley shot back. “You're accusing me of murder after you and your mother abandoned Jo here to perish. It's completely absurd."

Amerie and Bruce were quite aback to learn this. Amerie lost her temper. "You're a bitch! What rubbish are you saying? You still refuse to acknowledge that you tried to kill Jo.”

"Why? Are you unhappy that Jo didn’t die like you’d hope?” Hadley sneered.

Amerie felt shivers down her spine at Hadley’s death-like glare. It's t

    The sound of Sheila’s voice startled everyone, especially Sage. She was scared when she saw Sheila standing at the stairs, wondering how she had woken up so fast.Mallory was taken aback as well. ‘She can't possibly wake up,’ she thought. ‘What made her to awaken so quickly?’Andrew’s dejected expression softened when he saw that his grandmother was unharmed. "Grandma, you're alright.""Hmph! How could I have died? You bastards would have eaten Hadley if something had happened to me."Sheila gave him a derisive glance."Could it be that today's events really have nothing to do with her?" Andrew asked himself as he stopped walking and turned to face Hadley.The hallway took on an odd ambiance.Andrew was uncomfortable and experienced a tightening in his chest.Sheila carefully made her way down the stairs with the help of her maids.When Laura recalled that Sheila had just reprimanded her, her heart became even more uneasy. Feeling insulted, she pouted and clung to Andrew’s arm, saying,

    Hadley glanced at Laura and arched an eyebrow."Hadley’s stare is really frightening, Drew.” Laura sank weakly into Andrew’s arms and murmured, "I'm so scared."Andrew then stared at Hadley. This was a drastically different version of her."Ugh," Ercell frowned. How could such repulsive individuals exist?Ercell gave a headshake. "Those two made me feel sick," she remarked in a low voice. "You..." Laura was enraged.She had appeared to be weak, but she was so repulsed by this woman. "Drew," Laura shouted, shaking Andrew’s arm while gritting her teeth in rage.Hadley’s calmness infuriated Andrew even more. "Hadley, please apologize to Laura. You frightened her," he remarked.Hadley cast a derisive glance at Laura. "Sorry, but she disgusted Ercell," Hadley responded. A slight, mocking smile curved her red lips.Suppressing his rage, Andrew gazed at her grin.Laura was furious. A flicker of bitterness shot across her gaze as she lowered her lashes."Hadley, just you wait."Hadley was s

    "You killed Mom, Hadley!” Mallory’s haughty voice yelled, "Come to Drew’s villa right away."When Hadley learned that Sheila was in danger, she jolted awake.Her voice was icy as she sat up. "What did you say?""Hmph! Hadley, quit acting so fake. You bitch. In addition to attempting to steal Mom's shares, you also caused her to go into a coma. She won't wake up after taking your medication. The share transfer document is now absent. Come on over here immediately," Mallory commanded.Hadley scowled. Why had this occurred after she had already turned down Sheila’s offer?The events of that day were only known to four people and Sheila’s shares had long been desired by Mallory. Hadley responded, "I'm coming right now.”After hanging up, she contacted Chuck. "Ms. Fern," Chuck said."Chuck, take some people to Sheila Shaw’s Villa and investigate the situation with her shares. Go fast. Pay special attention to the stock market. Control the situation right now if their shares rise by fifte

    Jude examined her closely."Yeah, take it," he said.Hadley held the picture firmly. "Thank you, Mr. Beck! I'll leave for now. I'll visit you guys again another day.” she replied as she got to her feet.There was plenty of time left. Jude thought.Hadley hurriedly left.Andrew also came up with a reason to go.Laura was upset, but Jude prevented his daughter from walking outside with him since he knew what Andrew would do.Having her follow him would just exacerbate Andrew’s rage.Andrew was not going to let Hadley off lightly, because she had acknowledged it herself.When men became petty, they might be terrifying.Particularly a man with Andrew’s conceit.Andrew obstructed Hadley’s way just as she was leaving the gate.Hadley scowled at the enraged man in front of her. It was terrifying how angry he was."Andrew, shouldn't you be making babies with your woman? Why are you blocking my way?" she ask.Andrew’s hand tightened around her throat as soon as she was done talking.Her breathi

    Hadley remained silent.His dark eyes narrowed as he gazed at her. Her gown was pink color. She wore a matching shawl over her shoulders because it was chilly. It accentuated her contours, giving her form a delicate, enigmatic appearance.She had her hair pulled back into a ponytail. Her fair, graceful neck was decked with a diamond necklace. The light made it shine. Her features had always been intriguing and beautiful.For a moment, they exchanged glances. Hadley averted her gaze. "You can come here, but I can't?" she asked. Her eyes were uncaring, devoid of any affection."You are my ex-wife, and this is my girlfriend’s house,” He stated, "I don't want your presence to have an impact on us.” His grin was the darkest it could be.Hadley approached with poise. She smiled mockingly at him. "We're already divorced, Andrew. I have nothing to do with whoever your girlfriend is. Your world and mine are no longer connected. You're not deserving of participating in it. Steer clear of me i

    Laura scowled. There might be a solution if that was the case. "Mum, how about we reintegrate her into the family?” With a cunning smile, she said, "We can get her to talk."Laura’s grin was unsettling.Mary already had something in mind."Yes! You can call her tomorrow and invite her back for dinner.” Mary said.They would take advantage of Hadley if she learned the secret.“Yes.” Laura agree."Mrs. Beck, you giving Hadley the identity of a daughter of the Beck family will make her eternally grateful," Chandler remarked with a sly glance. “She doesn’t have a family, after all. She will voluntarily tell us the secret if you show her affection. After years of investigation, we have only discovered her relationship with Horace. She is the only one who can help us."His goal was to obtain the map. It might be their quick route to prosperity.They all smiled.…Hadley got to her feet and stretched. She peered out the window. The weather was particularly dismal, and it was early January.E

    "Don't get too excited, Hadley. You are merely Andrew’s ex-wife, and tonight he'll purchase me the most amazing purple diamond and pop the question.”"Really? I'm trying to find it.” Hadley gave a smirk.After a brief delay, she shut the car door firmly and departed from the Shaw Group.Kingsley Fe

    "Close your dirty mouth. "How dare you use the word stole? You may look respectable, but your words are disgusting." Ercell was furious and thought.
