There was never a shortage of suitors around Hayley, which was what boosted her standard to an extraordinarily high level. In school that day, the moment she first saw Tony, her heart instinctively started to race. Even though she didn’t know him, she knew at first glance that he was a successful man with a charming and elegant aura. At that time, other students in school didn’t have the same aura because it was something gained after years of experience.At that moment, she rushed toward him, wanting to confess her love while also asking for his contacts. Of course, she would have loved it if the two of them exchanged contact numbers, but sadly, he seemed to be thinking about something else at that time, so he didn’t notice her at all.After that, the man never left her mind. Instead, the memory of the scene became much clearer to her as she found out about his name, status, family and career.Sure enough, he was as successful and extraordinary as she thought he was, but sadly, he al
“I’ve also heard about it. I wonder what kind of hatred drove Miss Walton to do such a thing. However, from what I’ve seen, she was probably troubled by love. It’s possible that they were a couple once, but now that Mr. Hart has fallen in love with another woman, she felt so wronged that she rammed him with a car.”“I wonder what method Myra used to charm Mr. Hart to a point where he won’t even consider any other women. By the looks of it, Gemma is quite a pitiful girl. Because of this, she is now forced to leave Bradfort City. I even heard the reason why she will be sent away is because she required medical treatment abroad. She probably got hurt really bad this time.”“However, we can’t say that she isn’t an idiot. I can’t believe she didn’t even think about the consequences when ramming the car at Mr. Hart. Luckily, she was only asked to leave Bradfort City this time. If the same thing happens again, the Walton Family will probably be doomed.”“You’re right, but who wouldn’t want a
Myra had no idea what Elsie had meant by ‘you can’t make me leave Bradfort City’, but she was growing annoyed at the other woman’s ridiculous antics.As she turned on her heels to leave, she pointed out in a clipped tone, “In case you haven’t noticed, there are cameras all around here. Regardless of how things may turn out after this, I won’t try to deny any wrongdoing on my part. I just hope that you’ll still have as much bravado by then, Miss Foster.”Upon hearing that, Elsie stared at Myra dumbfoundedly. As Myra slid into the car, Estelle started the engine.Elsie snapped out of her daze when Estelle slammed the honk at her to get out of the way. Elsie knew there was no way for her to get a word in with Tony. She had called him with different phone numbers, but there was no answer on his end. It was clear that he refused to hear anything that she had to say.Seized with desperation, she had resorted to asking Myra for help, but her strategy earlier had obviously gone awry. She had

Kris was at the hospital with Gideon, but she decided to head to Gemma’s room on her own with a bouquet of flowers that she brought while he parked the car.After learning of Gemma’s incident, Kris doubted that anyone was as happy as she was.Gemma had always been acting high and mighty around Kris to the point of snubbing her all the time. However, knowing that Gemma came from a prolific and important family, Kris could not risk offending her. She had been ecstatic to learn of the accident and the cause behind it because it meant that there really was bad blood between the Walton Family and the Hart Family. In addition to the accident, Gemma had also sustained injuries to her face—a feature that any woman would pay most attention to—and Kris was seized with wicked glee to know this despite being clueless about the extent of the girl’s injuries. Nonetheless, she maintained a concerned front when she was with the Walton Family.Upon entering the hospital room, she saw that Gemma was th
Standing in the doorway was a fresh-faced and pretty nurse whom they had never seen before. She had a medical record in one hand and the other held a pen as it rested on the doorknob.The nurse had frozen in place after seeing the unexpected scene before her and she only snapped out of her daze when she registered what Tony had said. She stammered as she flushed, “P-Pardon me. I saw that the door was open, so I came in without knocking.”Meanwhile, Myra was blushing all the way down to her neck as she tore herself away from him despite his firm hold. As she straightened her posture, she shot him a deadly glare before turning to give the nurse a sheepish look. “I’m sorry; are you here to check up on him? I can step away for a bit while you do your work.”The nurse hummed pensively in response. Myra could be wrong, but she thought there could have been a cold gleam in the nurse’s eyes as the latter acknowledged her. However, the nurse resumed her demure countenance as she glanced over a
Most of her fits revolved around the same thing—she didn’t want to leave Bradfort City and she insisted on having the doctor flown in so that she could receive her treatment here in the hospital.There had also been several occasions when Gemma tried to sneak over to Tony’s hospital ward at the end of the corridor, but she was reprimanded by the guards stationed outside her room before she could even get past the threshold.The bodyguards had been stationed outside her door ever since she found out about the severity of her wounds. While her family had told her that the bodyguards were for her protection, they were secretly hoping worried that she would throw a manic fit and stir up trouble once more. Gemma had avidly protested against this decision, but it was to no avail. In addition to her tantrums, the injuries on her hands had taken a turn for the worse after her refusal to sit still and recuperate. It wasn’t until after Edward’s stern warning that she finally settled.“Mom, I do
There had not been much to glean from what Elsie had said, but she knew that the entire incident had something to do with Kris and probably Gemma as well.She felt uneasy as she returned to Tony’s suite and upon entering, she saw that he was eating his meal with one hand.Although he was injured and seated on the bedside while spooning mouthfuls of food with one hand, he looked graceful nonetheless.Myra felt the knot in her stomach untangle at the sight of him doing so. She sauntered over and took the spoon and the bowl from him before she brought a mouthful of porridge to his thin lips.Tony raised his brow at her action. “I thought I was supposed to eat it on my own.”She rolled her eyes at him. “At the speed you’re eating, the porridge would be cold by the time you manage to finish it.”He flashed the barest hint of a smile as he mused, “You never mean what you say, Myra. I know you care about me. You don’t have to come up with an excuse just so you can run back here and feed me,
