An aggrieved Sasha stood up in the midst of the whispers.“If that’s the case, why don’t you open the design plan that you brought so that everyone can have their say?”A hint of disdain flashed through her eyes from an angle that no one could see.At that moment, Myra’s nails were sunk deep into her palms. The design plans that I brought have been changed. What’s there to look at? Someone had obviously set up this meeting in advance. However, she wanted to give it a try because she refused to admit defeat, but sadly, nothing she did would change anything.“Fine! What’s there to be afraid of? I trust Miss Stark!”Tilly’s angry voice was heard from below as Myra tried to stop her, but it was already too late.Tilly quickly brought the design plan to the square table before she opened it. “Huh? What is this?!”Her scream was heard at first, but when she tried to cover the plans, she was quickly stopped by a hand next to her.After the design plan was opened, no one knew who had started
“That’s great! With Director Hart and Mr. Logan’s help, you’ll definitely be fine!” Tilly let out a sigh of relief when she heard Logan’s words as Myra returned to her senses.Then, Myra looked past Tilly’s shoulder and saw Sasha and Lily, who were both standing behind her.Myra never had a good impression of Sasha in the beginning, but now, she finally saw what an awful person the latter was.On the other hand, Sasha felt a little guilty when she met Myra’s gaze, but she immediately lifted her head in arrogance as she walked over. “Myra, I can’t believe that you don’t even have the courage to admit your mistake. No wonder Sean always looks down on you!”Myra instantly smiled with anger. No one else is better at talking nonsense than her.“Then, who do you think will fall for you?” She could not suppress her anger any more, so she coldly gazed at Sasha. “You failed to seduce him, so you are now trying to frame me. Sasha, is this project really that important to you? Is it so important
As Sean brusquely threw the document over, he wore a stern expression on his face. “Where did you summon the courage to do something like this?”Myra heard Elsie’s snort of laughter from behind her. When she focused on the document, she realized that it was the document she brought to the Hart Group after it was switched—and images of Tony were drawn on it.There were numerous drawings of him in various postures in a special, delicate style. Myra’s expression immediately changed right after she saw that.When she was at Hart Group earlier, she did not clearly look at the document due to her embarrassment and fury. It was only now that she realized that the drawing style on the document was similar to hers! “I didn’t draw this,” she retaliated without a second thought.When she lifted her head, her heart sank as soon as she saw Sean’s mocking smirk. She had to give it to Sasha, who was certainly skilled in framing her—she was even able to find a drawing that was similar to hers. I bet
As soon as she entered the car, the cool air slightly alleviated the summer heat.The man in the car leaned against the backseat with his eyes closed. He had a rather wide forehead and a straight nose; although his deep, narrow eyes were shut, it did not hide his handsome features. His physique and facial features made him look like a foreigner, which radiated an aura of elegance in each and every movement of his.Upon hearing Myra’s words, Tony opened his eyes and he slightly nodded without even shooting her a glance.However, he suddenly turned to look at her. “How did this happen?” He stretched his long, slender hands and touched her chin, which now showed red terrifying fingerprints.Tony frowned slightly as his gaze became colder.Myra was shocked by what she saw. Even though his fingers had only lightly touched her chin, she felt as though she had been scorched and turned away reflexively. “It’s nothing,” she replied in a low voice.When she turned, her fair neck was revealed an
If he really can’t keep to his promise, I can walk home too. Southern Hill is not a small area, but it’s not gigantic either. Apart from that, it would be for the best if he could really clear my name from the accusation of plagiarism.As soon as Myra thought about that, she stopped speaking and quietly looked outside the car window.From the corner of his eyes, Tony slightly arched his good-looking eyebrows when he saw her small face had darkened.The car was soon driven to the mansion region, which was surrounded by a garden.Southern Hill was the paradise for many wealthy people, but a mansion as big as the Hart Residence could not be found—even in the area.It took almost five minutes for the car to be driven from the main gate to a building that looked like a castle with European architecture.Soon, the car came to a tall fountain that resembled a swan. Next to it was a huge mansion with white walls and red bricks that were surrounded by trees; the place looked impressive and int
When Myra and Henry raised their heads, they saw a slender woman standing at the other end of the fountain, which was not far from them. Even though the woman was already in her late thirties, she looked like she was barely 30 years old. Although she was elegant, there was a hint of worry and sorrow on her face that Myra detected at that moment.On the other hand, after Tony entered the mansion, a maid took his coat from him and placed a pair of indoor slippers in front of him.“Young Master Tony, Old Master Hart has been waiting for you in the study for a while.”With that, she smartly retreated to the kitchen.As soon as he knocked on the door to enter, a voice commanded loudly from the room, “Wait at the door!”Even though it was a rather old voice, it was still full of strength. It was obvious from his tone that the man in the room was not in a good mood.Tony arched his eyebrows as he closed the door of the study and obediently obeyed the order—he stood straight on the spot witho
After a while, the woman finally lifted her head and spoke to Henry gently, “Both Mommy and Daddy still love you very much, and it’s just that we are not staying together anymore. If you miss Daddy, I’ll still bring you over to him, alright?”Sure enough, he has family problems—looks like his parents are getting a divorce.Myra merely stood aside quietly while Henry lowered his head sadly.It was only at this moment that the woman noticed Myra.“And you are?” she asked awkwardly yet curiously.“This is Uncle Tony’s… friend, Myra,” Henry said in a low voice after the topic was changed.He snuck out of the woman’s embrace and walked to Myra. “She lost her way just now so I brought her back.”“Hello.” Feeling slightly nervous, Myra tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled at the woman.If my guess is correct, this woman should be Tony’s eldest sister, Serena Hart, who happily married into the Reyer Family with a huge dowry. This is so unexpected…Serena was not in a good mood recently,
Tony did not turn around but his side profile looked cold and serious. Myra had no idea what he discussed with Old Master Hart upstairs, but she assumed that it did not go well.Tony never glanced back and he did not utter a word. Instead, he merely tightened his grip on her hand.When they reached the car, Leo quickly opened the door of the backseat for them.Tony let Myra get into the car first before he followed from behind. All this while, he did not let go of her hand at all.After the both of them got into the car, Myra shot a tentative glance at him. His lips were pressed tightly together and he had a deep frown on his face that made his expression look dark. However, he seemed to have forgotten the hand he had been holding.“Director Hart…” Myra said his name worriedly again. It was only now that he seemed to hear her. Following her gaze, he saw that he had been holding her hand and with narrowed eyes, he slowly let her go.Myra heaved a sigh of relief. Even though the atmosph
