How could this be?
When she saw Lautrey at the airport, Heidi was so shocked she was at a loss for words.
Why was she here?
After being apart for over a month, instead of the joy of reunion, all she felt was a sense of crisis!
Unlike Ava, that naïve beauty, from the very first time Lautrey appeared, Heidi had felt a strong sense of threat, despite Lautrey's outward friendliness.
In Heidi's eyes, Lautrey was not only beautiful, but her every gesture revealed the bearing of someone from a distinguished family—definitely not an ordinary girl. As the company's liaison, she had plenty of opportunities to interact with Pierre.
Now that was a real threat!
Heidi knew she could only ever be Pierre's lover, not his wife, but what she needed was a woman who could accept her and the others as Pierre's wife—like a girl raised in this era, where, she'd heard, many wealthy men had several wives.
