The Divorced Heiress Is Entering a New Marriage

Chapter 0174

Fear prickled over my skin. Was this a real article? It had to be, or Logan wouldn’t have shown me. That email said it wouldn’t be printed until tomorrow, so I could breathe for a few more hours. But what would happen if this information was to be made public?

“Logan…” I wobbled, feeling a little faint.

Logan immediately stood from his chair and, just like in the photo, placed his hand to the small of my back. It was like a reflex for him.

“Here,” he said. “Sit in my chair,”

Nodding, I slumped down on his offered chair. It was comfortable leather, warmed from his body heat.

I covered my face with my hands. “What are we going to do?”

1 will make this go away,” Logan said, with an eerie kind of cool confidence.

Peeking up ark

from between my fingers, I asked, “How?”

“Money.”

I blinked. “Are they extorting you?”

“That’s just how the world works, Hazel. Money solves everything”

I didn’t much care for that mentality. Surely hard work and diligence should matter more than money. always considered myself to be a decent person: I tried hard, I was kind to most people, I valued time with my friends. Why did that seem to matter less than having a large bank account?

I skimmed through the article itself, and though the article named me, it gave no details into my personality or my life at all, aside from being Logan’s secretary. For all the writer of the article cared, I was a prop in Logan’s story.

“We’ll have to be more careful from now on,” Logan said. “While we are in public, we cannot touch each. other, understood? We must appear as work colleagues to the rest of the world. We’ll be lucky if only this one news outlet gets a hold of this story.”

Maybe we should have gotten divorced, after all, if it would keep Logan from scandal.

“You’re brooding,” he said.

“I don’t like being used against you like this.”

“I only showed you so that you would know how many yultures are out there,” Logan said. “If we’re careful, we’ll have nothing to worry about.” ”

Logan’s intention was not for Hazel to blame herself for any of this. That she was starting to, stoked the anger already simmering inside of him.

Maybe he should have kept this article to himself, but he wanted Hazel to be aware of the cretins hiding around every corner, ever looking at him and his family for fodder for their trashy media outlets.

As Hazel was now Logan’s wife, she needed to understand just how careful they needed to be to spare themselves from additional aggravation.

If Hazel was going to someday stand at Logan’s side, she needed to be ready.

Logan checked out the windows to make certain no one was coming, then he dripped a quick kiss to the top of Hazel’s head.

She needed to harden herself, or the vultures would eat her alive.

Until she was tough enough, Logan would have to do everything in his power to protect her, and their relationship, from those who meant to do them harm even if that harm was exposure. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“I’ll take care of everything,” Logan said. “You can leave for the day. I’ll call you later.”

“Okay,” Hazel said. She forced herself up from the chair, steadier now. “Thank you, Logan. Really…” She straightened a little, and her face hardened with determination. “I’ll make sure to be less obvious… in the future.”

“Good,” Logan said.

Hazel saw herself out, closing the office door behind her. Returning to my chair, Logan watched through the window as she packed up her things and left down the hallway.

When she was gone from his sight, he returned to the matter at hand.
