~As Haley returned to Grandma Lily's room, the man's words echoed inside her mind.That heartless man!Why should she even care? As long as he signed the divorce, she'd have no more business with him.“Where's Willy? Did he leave already?” Grandma Lily wrinkled her brows, her tone filled with worry.Haley murmured, “He's gone, Grandma. But don't worry about us, Liam and I are doing fine.”“Really?” Grandma Lily looked doubtful. “Why do you appear sad instead?”“Oh, Grandma, but I'm alright.” Haley forced a smile.Still, Grandma Lily scrutinized her with narrowed eyes, reminding Haley of Liam's piercing gaze. “You've always said the same thing, Dear. Won't you tell Grandma the truth? I know that boy, Willy, has his father's temper. He says harsh words sometimes!”“Liam is kind to me. Don't let the rumors make you think otherwise, Grandma.”Haley wasn't covering up for that heartless man. She'd feel guilty if telling the truth would impact Grandma Lily's health. After all, the Old Wo
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 15. Punish Her To Death!
…On his way driving home, Liam gripped the steering wheel, keeping in his rage as her harsh words echoed in his ears. ‘Scumbag! Stupid man! You're a womanizer who impregnates other women out of wedlock. Between you and a lowly orphan, who's better!?’Haley had never insulted him before, talked more of speaking back at him.Did his wife get possessed by a mad spirit? Recently, she spit nothing but harsh words that hit the right spot. “Sir, I'm listening… what order would you like to give?”Liam had almost forgotten he was on a phone call conversation with his assistant. His mind returned to the present. “Investigate Haley's true relationship with Andrew Woods. Don't leave a single piece of information out.”“Roger that, Sir.”As Liam hung up the call, another phone call came in. “What's it, Leah?” He said helplessly, thinking she was going to continue pestering him about the necklace.But Leah's loud cry was what greeted him. Her voice was so hoarse, barely audible. “Will- Willy,
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 16. Make The Nash Family Regret
Haley struggled with all her might, kicking and flailing her arms, but the bodyguards held her in a firm grip, not allowing her room to escape.“Liam!” She called out to the man who only stared at her impassively without blinking. “Why are you just standing? Won't you stop them!?”But her words were met with silence. Haley's body shook all over, as the sharp edge of the needle approached. “William Nash-” she cried, and her voice died down when the Nurse jabbed the needle in her arm. “Hey, Young Lady, please stay still,” the Nurse said, pressing the sore spot on her arm. This wasn't a mere blood collection, they just wanted to torture her. Haley didn't need to guess that the Nurse, Liam's mother, and Leah were in this together. “Ouch! Can you please remain calm?” The Nurse hissed when the needle popped out of her arm. Haley bit her lips hard to put up with the numbing pain. As the Nurse put the needle back in the same spot, her whole energy evaporated and her head swirled with d
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 17. Saved Her Life
An unknown feeling of dread compounded Haley's chest the moment that voice came through the phone.Her brother had ordered snipers to kill Liam?“I'll let you have the honor to do it.” Andrew extended the phone to her. “No one harms my Little Sis and go free. Give them the command to eliminate William Nash!”Haley distanced herself from the phone, shaking her head slightly. She didn't want to taint her hands with anyone's blood.Getting rid of Liam would also come with its own repercussions, and her brother was going to pay a hefty price.“There are better ways to make Liam and his parents pay, Brother. Besides, Grandma Lily is a kind old woman. Do you want to break her heart by exterminating her family members?”“Come on, Haley!” Andrew groaned, his smile disappearing. “What better way to make them pay than to kill them the way they wanted to kill you?”“Do you know the stunts I pulled to get you out of that hospital?” He went on, his voice rising, and his rage evident in his eyes.
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 18. Having Mixed Feelings
…She hung up?Hearing the beeping sound from the other end, Liam fought the temptation of slamming his phone on the desk!How dare she hang up on him?Since Haley rejected his call, he now believed that she hadn't been kidnapped from the hospital.But could she move on her own when her body was so weak?“Haven't you retrieved the surveillance footage!?” Liam snapped at the bodyguard standing in front of him. Inside the vast living room, the walls echoed with his voice. The bodyguard stood stiffly. “We went through each security system at the hospital, Mr. Nash. It was as if she vanished from the hospital.”That was strange.At the same time Haley disappeared from the hospital, the surveillance cameras malfunctioned, and that footage was lost. No one admitted to seeing her either. How could she slip away so swiftly. Did she have superpowers to just stand up and leave on her own when she was unconscious?Liam waived a dismissive hand at the bodyguard, sending him away. If they'd t

The maid jumped in shock. “M- Mr. Nash, are you alright? Is the tea not to your liking?”Liam pinned her with a hard glare, putting the cup aside. The scorching heat from the tea scalded his tongue, the bland taste killing his taste buds. “Why didn't you allow it to cool down? And why's it so small?”Apart from that, there was no sugar in it. Haley would usually add a little flavor too to make it taste more like a warm ginger juice. “I'm sorry for this mistake, Mr. Nash.” The maid picked up the tray, her hands shaking. “If you're not feeling well, I can call the Doctor or take you to a hospital.”If Liam preferred seeing the Doctor, would he have asked for the ginger tea?“Get out!” He sent the maid away, his anger towards Haley skyrocketing. If she was around, this mess wouldn't have happened. She would prepare him the tea as fast as lightning, and he wouldn't have to suffer in this way. Burying himself under the blanket, Liam grabbed his phone from the bedside table and dialed
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 20. Collaboration Proposal
Joye continued, “That's why I've been having second thoughts about reporting it. Andrew Woods was seen dropping the Madam off at IvoryRains Apartment Building. She visited his company and spent hours inside his office, and all the employees at DG Jewelry Corp are having speculation that they are in a relationship.”“One more thing…” Joye went on. “I heard someone kidnapped Madam from the hospital so I looked into it through my private agent. It was Andrew Woods who bribed the hospital staff to sneak her out.”If the assistant had told Liam this like ten minutes ago, he would be shocked. But now, his anger only knew no bounds.So his assumption was correct. Haley was in a relationship with that man, and that was why she wanted to leave him for Andrew Woods!“I will deal with him until his whole family disappears,” Liam said between gritted teeth, his fist shaking. “Andrew Woods will regret ever laying a finger on my wife.”“Mr. Woods, literally destroying Andrew Woods will need a lot
Divorced Heiress Strikes Back 21. Grant Her Wish
A collaboration from the NK Enterprise?Now Haley didn't see that coming. Why would Liam want a collaboration with her brother's company when they'd just finished fighting over the necklace?“You're pulling my legs.”“See for yourself.” Her brother pushed the laptop forward, and Haley sat on his desk, scrutinizing the email. A detailed collaboration message from the NK Enterprise. Haley didn't have a good feeling about this. “What are you gonna do about it?” She asked Andrew who only laughed softly. “I know what you're thinking, Little Sis.” Andrew leaned forward, his eyes glinting with mischief. “Because I also have a feeling that William Nash is up to something.”Well, anyone with the Woods blood would be difficult to be trifled with. Such a matter was easy for both Haley and her brother to detect as fishy. Did Liam think that he could mess with her family?“I'll turn down the collaboration-”“No!” Haley interrupted her brother. “I have the perfect idea to catch Liam in his o
