Myra glanced at Tony. “I wasn’t expecting a visit from him today either. I didn’t want to talk to him at first, but he kept holding me back. He even gave me that invitation and said some strange things.”Finding out that she was the woman Tony had a crush on probably made her feel better. She did not want him to get mad again because of Sean nor did she want their relationship to go through more turbulence because of Sean. It was just not worth it.When she mentioned the invitation, Tony looked sideways at the white pamphlet that had fallen on the carpet in the car and a cold gaze flashed across his eyes.Even though he did not make a sound, she could feel his desolation. Biting her lip, she reached out and interlocked her fingers with his unoccupied right hand. When he did not push her away, her face turned slightly red and she murmured, “I admit I used to like him.”Her fingers suddenly started to hurt from the increasing pressure he was clenching her hand with.Grimacing in pain, s
Cameron tried reaching Myra multiple times on the phone lately, but she did not answer a single one of his calls. It wasn’t that she did not want to return to the Stark Group, but she wanted to make a statement before she did.Tony’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Myra. “Why do we have to wait for a bit before getting out of the car?”For some reason, she felt rather guilty from the way he was looking at her. But the thought of Kris made her frown and lower her head. “I don’t want to be in the same elevator as that person.”He looked back in the direction of the elevator. The doors had closed slowly, and the elevator was heading up.Because he had done a thorough check on her before, he was aware of Kris’ identity and perhaps even some of the relatives on Myra’s paternal and maternal side of the family that she might not have known herself. Seeing the look on her face, something flickered across his eyes. He held her waist and left a reassuring kiss on her forehead. “Let’s wait for a b
“Are you saying you want to take away the twenty percent I own of Stark Group?” Myra mocked.“That’s right!” Kris exclaimed without trying to cover her intentions. Suddenly, she lowered her voice and sounded especially vicious. “Don’t assume that I’m unaware. Aside from the twenty percent you own in Stark Group, you also have fifty percent of Chase Group’s property at Hilliville. And the Ritz Carlton… Myra, I gotta give it to you—you’re certainly amazing! Heck, you even had a deranged and pitiful mother who abandoned you and killed herself in the end!” Once she was done, her gaze became gentle and friendly again. She walked into the elevator calmly and let the doors close.Myra had her hands clenched tightly by her sides as she glared at the woman beside her. She could never forget the painstaking life her mother had in those last few years up until the day she killed herself in the hospital. Before she could say anything, the elevator doors were stopped from closing again by another
Myra stood in the doorway, blocking the door as she coldly stared at Kris. “Kris, you should be thankful that I don’t have a recording of what you said to me in the past. Otherwise, the things that I can get for myself won’t stop at just those.”Slamming the door shut with a loud ‘Bang!’, she leaned her back against the security door and turned a deaf ear to Kris’ frustrated voice outside. She clenched her fists tightly, feeling as if she had managed to vent some of her anger. I will probably be forced to fight a long, drawn-out war from now on. But, I have something more important to take care of right now.Taking out her phone, she immediately dialed Tony’s number. Although she called him three times in a row, her calls went unanswered. He must be angry.Thus, she smiled bitterly and sent him a text message instead. ‘Tony, have you fallen asleep?’As expected, the message was completely ignored even though she knew very well that he wasn’t the type to go to bed so early. She felt ra
Myra’s voice, much like herself, gave off a quiet and gentle feeling. There was no attacking power hidden in it.This damn woman! How is she able to control my emotions so easily? Moreover, she knows exactly how to comfort me! Still… Tony couldn’t help feeling pleased inside when he heard her saying that she had gotten jealous when that woman tried to seduce him at the elevator. Then, he reversed their roles and took the initiative to ‘attack’ instead. He kissed her deeply on the lips, acting as if he wanted to devour her whole. His actions were fierce—he had no intention of being gentle toward her.Soon, he pulled off the vest she was wearing and threw it on the ground. The night breeze was chilly, and she shivered suddenly. All of a sudden, she remembered what she was wearing underneath her dress. She gasped in shock and grabbed the hands of the man in front of her just as he was about to rip the collar of her dress.“Wait… Wait…” she urgently said while breathing heavily. Her face
Myra watched as the car drove away. Then, she adjusted her clothes. The moment she turned around, she came face-to-face with Kris’ shocked and suspicious gaze studying her uncertainly. “Whose car did you just get out of?”Myra coldly glanced at Kris before walking around her and heading toward the Stark Tower.“Stop!” Kris hurriedly chased after Myra and grabbed Myra’s arm tightly. “I asked you; whose car did you get out of?!”When Kris walked out of the building, she happened to see a black Maybach stopped in front of the building. It was the latest model in the market. She originally assumed that it belonged to one of the company’s presidents that was here at the Stark Group to discuss business. Just as she was about to go up and greet them, she saw Myra coming out of the car with a shy smile! Moreover, she noticed a tall man sitting in the driver’s seat during the short exchange between those two. Unfortunately, she couldn’t see who the man was!Didn’t Myra just get divorced?! How
The other party replied gently, “Sure. You should quickly get back to work too. Don’t disturb your father and your sister during their discussion.”Kris obediently made a non-committal sound in reply and turned off her phone. After that, she went into Cameron’s pantry, brought out a glass of lemonade for Myra, and placed it on the desk in front of Cameron. For a moment, she seemed like she was about to call out to Myra but lowered her head instead when she saw the ugly expression on Myra’s face. She turned to Cameron and said, “Dad, I’m going back to work.” Then, she hastily left the office. The office door quickly closed behind her amidst the strange atmosphere in the air.In the meantime, Myra stared at the man in front of her. Although he was 50, he remained in high spirits and looked no more than 40 due to good health maintenance. His handsome looks from his younger days could still be seen from his sharp facial features, and his eyes gleamed with a businessman’s shrewd intelligen
“How can I have something as dirty as a connection with the Stark Group?” Tilly raised an eyebrow at Myra while smirking. She shook her finger with a cheeky smile, pretending to be mysterious. “I might not have any connection with the Stark Group, but I have a connection with the Hart Group!” When she mentioned ‘the Hart Group’, her eyes practically shone with delight. She seemed like she could barely restrain herself from gossiping and quickly wrapped herself around Myra. “Miss Stark, I’ll tell you the truth. Mr. Hart is the one who asked me to come and help you! Haha! He personally offered me a salary! Because of that, I’m receiving a double salary! How could I turn down such a great offer?! Therefore, I made an unscrupulous decision to take up this sacred mission!”Looking at Tilly’s excitement, Myra felt her face burning with embarrassment. Even so, her heart felt warm inside. That man is always thinking about me. Knowing how stubborn I can be, he is probably worried that I won’t
