Chapter 1916
Meanwhile, Heather had just returned to her home in Westchester.
The hour was late.
She had a large coat thrown over her shoulders. The moment she got out of the car, she sneezed loudly.
The housemaid who came up to greet her quickly asked in a concerned voice, “Miss, are you okay? Did you catch a cold?”
Her mind instantly jogged to how Caprice had grabbed onto her so that the two of them would tumble into the pool together. The memory prickled her. She would not forget the sheer spite she felt when she scrambled out of the pool only to see that Liam had carried Caprice away.
She roared at the housemaid, “Scram!” The housemaid recoiled in fright. Heather strode into the house, stepping into the living room.
Inside the living room were her parents Roman and Sophia. They were still awake and drinking tea while chatting about ongoing affairs inside the company.
When they saw Heather enter wrapped in a coat and her hair still wet, they cast surprised looks at her. “Heath, what happened to you?” Sophia quickly asked. Roman chimed in, “How did you end up in this state? | thought you attended an event in Glanchester.”
Heather felt a bitter sting of resentment, feeling like she had been wronged. She sat between her parents and said darkly, “Someone pushed me into the pool.”
Roman’s face became contorted in anger. Sophia was just as upset. She put her arms around Heather and asked, “Who was it who pushed you?” This person must have a death wish pushing her beloved daughter into the pool!
Heather’s eyes gleamed with ice. She said with a snap in her voice, “Some idiot named Caprice. She’s known Liam since she was a kid and has a crush on him. She’s jealous about how close | was with Liam and kept trying to insult me every chance she got with snarky remarks.”
“| thought | was going to teach her a lesson tonight and throw her into the pool, but the stupid wench ended up dragging me into the pool with her! What's even worse is that Liam ended up carrying her out of the pool and taking her away!”
Sophia scoffed and expressed sharply, “What a disgusting brat! Completely shameless!”
Roman considered for a moment before asking, “You mentioned that this Caprice girl has known the young Carter master since she was a child. What's the deal with her family?”
“| don’t know about her family background, but if | had to guess, she should be nothing more than a cheap commoner.” As she said this, she turned to her father with a pleading look. “Dad, please have your men do some investigation into her family. | won't let her get away with humiliating me!”
She would not stand for being humiliated by such an imbecile! How dare Caprice think herself superior to her?! Once she managed to get more information on her family background, she would make sure to make her life a living hell! Then, Liam would know just the sort of woman he deserved to have in his life!
Roman recalled how the same Young Master Carter had threatened him the last time when he had tried to sabotage Rockon Technology because his daughter had asked him to
He asked cautiously, “Heath, is this Caprice the same one who went to the Young Master Carter last time to ask for help after what we did to Rockon Technology?”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Heather frowned. “I think so.”
Roman scowled disapprovingly. “If she could enlist Young Master Carter’s help, then | assume the two of them are very close to each other” He said with a look, “Heath, why don’t you let this slide?”
Heather frowned and became very upset.
Sophia immediately cried out, “What do you mean let it slide?! The brat threw our daughter into the pool! If it wasn’t for her nasty ploys, Heath would have ended up with Liam Carter a long time ago!”
Heather gnashed her teeth and hissed. “She's also the one who got me fired by Liam!” When Sophia heard this, she slammed her fist into the table. “So, it was her! What a sly fox”
Liam Carter was a legendary figure, one that the world had never seen before Even if you dismissed his impressive accomplishment of building the Carter Tech City from the ground up, his family was still the wealthiest monarch in Westchester by a mile. The accumulated wealth of the Carters put them among the ranks of the wealthiest groups in the entire world.
The man was shrouded in mystery and rarely revealed himself in public. Countless young ladies in Westchester wanted to win his favor, but it was her daughter Heather who managed to rise above the competition. Immediately after graduating from university, she became the most capable assistant of the man himself!
It was a golden opportunity, and to think that it was squandered by the disgusting wench!
The more Sophia thought about it, the angrier she became. She turned to Roman and said vehemently. Put your men on the task. | want to find out just what this Caprice brat is made of!”
Roman still had some reservations. He was just as upset that his daughter was fired by Liam. However, he did not want to risk incurring Liam’s wrath by proxy.
