Myra was standing outside the cake shop, and she was about to extend her hand to hail a cab when somebody called out to her from behind, “Myra!”Myra paused before she turned around to look calmly at the rich-looking woman in front of her. “Mrs. Chase.”Eve was sure that Myra must have heard most of her conversation with Elsie. She felt extremely embarrassed for Myra to have heard their conversation, but she was mostly afraid. After a moment of hesitation, she forced herself to speak with Myra anyway. “Myra… I hope that you would pretend as if you haven’t heard what I discussed with Miss Foster earlier.” Currently, Myra is disgusted with the Chase Family. I am also afraid that she might expose my relationship with Elsie to Lyla and things will turn ugly if the latter causes a scene.Myra regarded Eve’s anxious expression and she suddenly felt as though she was very stupid in the past. How did I ever trust what Eve said when she’s clearly brushing me off by placating me verbally?Myra’
“We were lucky you were there last night. I dragged Tilly into the mess; fortunately, she’s fine.”Elliot chuckled but he changed the topic swiftly and they started chatting about something else. Myra, however, did not notice the cunning and mischievous sparkle flash through his eyes.During their journey, she phoned Tony to remind him to take care of his health. She advised him to have his dinner on time while instructing him to head back to the Hart Residence after work.Well, Miss Ivy’s speech has left an impact today. He is a career-oriented man in his thirties, and his stomach and lungs are not as healthy as they once were. I am sure that Old Madam Hart will take good care of him if he returns to the Hart Residence. There are more people there too, so he won’t feel lonely.“Are you really not coming back tonight?” Tony asked again from the other end of the line. His voice was husky—he was most probably smoking out of boredom.Myra glanced at Elliot—who was pretending to focus on
Mrs. Fletcher was unhappy but she nodded reluctantly under Rachel’s scrutiny. “Mrs. Stark, you are too kind, which is why she bullies you. Please be careful later, Mrs. Stark. She seems to be aggressive, so don’t let her harm the child in your womb…” Mrs. Fletcher muttered quietly.Mrs. Fletcher, what nonsense are you spouting?” Rachel’s expression changed slightly. “Why would Miss Myra harm her biological younger brother?”“Who knows…” Mrs. Fletcher tried to hold back but she couldn’t help but mutter, “Everybody’s been saying that she is back for the family assets. Now that she knows that you are pregnant with a son, Mrs. Stark, I am sure that she would target you with all she has. Mrs. Stark, you have to be careful!”“She won’t.” Rachel turned to Mrs. Fletcher and reassured, “I trust that Myra is a good person and that she would not do that.”Mrs. Fletcher was about to say something but Rachel had already made her way into the house.Myra did not expect Rachel to maintain the style
Rachel even started wiping tears away when she mentioned that Cameron had been missing Myra ever since the latter left. She even claimed that Cameron would prefer for her to move back home since she had divorced Sean.At the mention of Sean, the three of them seemed to hate him with a vengeance. They started scolding him a good deal by claiming that he is ungrateful and short-sighted. They even proclaimed that he would live a short life, and that he is an indecent and good-for-nothing man. The trio were acting as if they bore a grudge on Myra’s behalf.Myra merely listened to them without responding and her face was void of expression. In the end, the three of them quietened down, most probably because they felt awkward. Then, they started chatting about current company matters.“Myra, Kris is still young so she is inexperienced in a lot of things. You should give her pointers in the company. You do not have to hold back if she makes a mistake at work—feel free to reprimand her.” Rach
Mrs. Fletcher reluctantly fetched a chair, whereas Myra turned to Kris. “Can you please scoot over to make some space?” Myra murmured and smiled sweetly.Rachel and Kris acted like loving family members in front of me for such a long time just now. If Kris were to refuse to make space, she would be humiliating both Rachel and herself.Under Rachel’s scrutiny, Kris had no choice but to shift her chair reluctantly.Myra placed the chair properly. Just as she was seated, she conveniently pinched Tony’s thigh hard while hissing at him quietly, “You’re trouble!”It was barely a whisper so others might not have heard her, but Tony heard her clearly.His lips curled into a faint smile.Myra fingers ached from pinching him and she was just about to shift her hand away when a large, warm and dry hand grabbed hers. She wasn’t sure if Tony was doing it on purpose, but his calloused left fingers rubbed against Myra’s. He continued the friction while pressing her hand against his warm thigh.An el
Rachel pursed her lips, thinking that something seemed off. However, she had no time to think about it at this moment.Tony had already gone to Cameron’s study because the latter wanted to speak to him. Now that Tony and Myra were a couple, it had definitely placed Rachel and Kris at a disadvantage. Nevertheless, it was better for them that Tony came here today, since it would not hurt to let him witness Myra’s cruelty earlier.With a dark look in her eyes, Rachel caressed her belly and murmured, “Baby, please be useful. These are the final two things you can do for Mommy.”Myra sat on the couch to watch some television, so she did not go back to her room immediately.Kris was busy with the preparation in the kitchen for a long time. After that, she served a glass of lemonade and two cups of coffee. When she walked past Myra, she even put the lemonade on the table in front of her. “Sis, I know you like lemonade so I made this for you.”Myra merely smiled and looked at the other two cu
“Kiddo, I’m just worried that my choice doesn’t suit your taste.” Seeing that Myra deliberately kept a distance from her, Rachel flashed a warm smile and walked to Myra strenuously. “Perhaps you might return here more often in the future. Of course, it would be best if you stay here altogether. No matter what, I just want to make your stay comfortable.”With that, Rachel walked over to Myra, but the latter immediately became vigilant as she retreated down the staircase. “Since you’re tired, Rachel, you don’t have to walk down the stairs. I’ll come up.”Even though Myra said so, she had no intention of really walking upstairs. On the contrary, she descended a few steps. Sweat formed in her palms, and she had a serious and grim expression on her face as she prepared herself to defend any moves they might make.Seeing that Myra was retreating, Rachel knew that if she missed this opportunity, she would not have another in the future.Thinking of the 5% of shares and the fact that Tony was
“What do you mean by ‘again’?” When Myra, who was being held in Tony’s embrace, heard Kris’ accusation, her face immediately turned colder. “You and Rachel were the ones who ganged up on me and wanted to push the blame on me! This is not your first time doing this, after all. But this time around, everyone else clearly saw that you were the one who landed on your mother. How could you blame me for this? Do you really think that I’m someone you can trample on, Kris?”“Nonsense!” Kris’ eyes became red. “You’re the one who is responsible for this! If you didn’t push me, how could I have landed on Mom? You are such an evil woman! It’s all your fault and I bet Dad will never let you off the hook!”With that, Kris shifted her gaze to Tony, who was holding Myra. Tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down her face immediately. “Tony, I was just planning to serve you coffee just now, yet Myra is so angry at me that she pushed me to hurt my mom and little brother. I believe that you have see
