Myra knew exactly what was going on, but she also knew that no one was going to believe her no matter how she tried to explain herself. Instead, she put on a humorless smile and replied, “I’ve got nothing to say.”Without haste, Mr. Xavier turned to the group of people behind him. “Tsk-tsk… Looks like Miss Stark has finally decided to confess. What are we waiting for? Someone call the police! Leaking company information is not a trivial matter, and we’d better leave it to the police.”He was wearing a huge smile on his face, thinking that his words had easily planted fear in Myra. To his shock, she only smiled and nodded. “I think we should inform the police as well. I’ll be getting a lawyer to settle the case. Well then, can I leave now?”Seeing her casual behavior and aloof way of accepting the decision, Sean was completely infuriated. He stood up and went up to Myra slowly. Over the past few days, his heart was filled with regret as he was feeling guilty toward Myra.All these year
Sean had never seen this side of Myra. Suddenly, there was an odd feeling in his chest; it was as if he had taken pity on her. However, he quickly remembered that she was the same woman who had recently revealed her true intentions. He forced himself to stick to his decision. Myra was wicked and despicable! How could he ever take pity on her?!“So you’re not admitting what you’ve done?” Sean’s expression remained still as a pond.“Make a police report if you want. Whatever it is, I’ll never admit to something I didn’t do! Never!”Myra didn’t want to be around these people a second longer, proceeding to whirl and stomp outside.As the elevator stopped on the floor and opened with a ding, Eve was seen rushing out hastily.Meanwhile, Myra quickly stepped into the elevator and pressed a button before Eve could make out who she was.By the time Eve finally realized and shouted after her, the elevator door had closed and was already rapidly descending.The surrounding atmosphere was still a
As if feeling Myra’s gaze on him, he flinched ever so slightly as he was holding the golf club. Turning to hand it over to an employee, he nodded at the middle-aged man next to him and headed toward Myra’s direction.Myra could see that he was coming over, but her eyes fell upon a woman standing beside him who was holding a warm towel in her hands.The woman was no stranger to her; she was Belle Bridgers, the daughter of the middle-aged man standing next to Tony, Director Bridgers. She had just returned from studying abroad in the United States. Myra knew exactly what was going on from the way the woman’s eyes twinkled as she looked up at Tony when he had holed the ball earlier. It was even a little uncomfortable to watch.It wasn’t until Tony arrived before her that she recovered from her thoughts. Looking at him, she asked hesitantly, “Am I… interrupting something?”Tony stared back at her, his eyes steady.He knew all too well about what had happened after she left his office in th
She thought that she had just done a great job of saving Tony from an awkward situation. Little did she know that for a split second, irritation flashed across his eyes when she referred to Myra as his groveling employee.Director Bridger’s expression brightened up after his daughter’s comforting comment. “Tony, let’s not beat around the bush anymore. Our families are quite a matching pair, and my daughter here is a woman unlike any other, if I may say so myself. Should we sit down somewhere and talk about this?”He was straight to the point this time; he didn’t feel the need to be indirect about it anymore.Belle blushed bright red on the spot, sheepishly taking a brief glance at Tony. She stamped her feet in embarrassment and said, “What are you talking about, Dad?! How can you say something like that straight to his face…”She stamped her feet again and bit her lip nervously, apparently overwhelmed with awkwardness. With that, she quickly ran off to the lounging area nearby.Direct
Tony let go of her soon after.Following his line of sight, she saw Belle standing alone nearby.She seemed to be hurt and upset, glancing in their direction every now and then.Myra suddenly felt a surge of disappointment as Tony made his way toward Belle’s direction. She breathed in deeply and continued to practice her posture and swing, just like how he had taught her.Seeing that Tony was approaching, Belle couldn’t help but chew on her lip like a sad puppy. She looked up at him with red-rimmed eyes and asked, “Tony, is that woman… your girlfriend?”She’d initially expected herself and Tony to get along romantically, but before anything could happen between them, her father had stormed off in frustration; he even told her to give up on getting together with that man.Racking her brain for a reason, she figured it could only be that woman who was trying hard to learn golf at a distance.It was no secret that Tony wasn’t one to mingle and had never been involved with another woman;
Myra took a deep breath. For some reason, the thought of the noble and handsome man panicked her deep down inside, but she collected herself and replied, “Miss Bridgers, you should try to win Director Hart’s heart with your own capability if you love him. If he loves you, no one else can win his favor but you.”Belle’s expression changed at Myra’s words; upon recalling what Tony had said to her, she apparently took the last sentence Myra said to her as an act of provocation. We both know that Tony loves the woman in front of me; isn’t she just telling me that Tony loves her, and no one else can win his favor?!“Myra…” This was the first time Belle hated someone so much deep down inside. I have finally met the man I love, yet he doesn’t even bother giving me a glance because of the woman in front of me… For the very first time, she looked at the dignified woman before her as if humbling herself. Softening her voice, she then asked, “Tell me—what do you want so that you’ll leave him?”H
Will Myra still melt into my embrace if she learns all about this?Elliot waited for a long time; just when he thought that Tony wouldn’t say another word, the latter spoke flatly. “Spread the word.”“Okay!” Elliot immediately responded. He and the other two had been rubbing their hands in anticipation and could hardly wait to go all out!The cell phone in Tony’s pocket vibrated again. This time, however, Tony didn’t hang up the phone.Meanwhile, Myra took a taxi home.She would be lying if she said she wasn’t upset, for this was the first time the man had turned down her request so bluntly. Before she realized it, she had grown used to turning to Tony for help—doing so had become a matter of course. However, such a thought made Myra’s heart shudder. Only then did she realize what made her upset wasn’t that she was hurt by both Sean and Lyla, but that Tony had refused to help her!Such a realization caused her heart to race inexplicably. An unknown feeling lingered in her heart, but s
“What’s the matter?” Tony asked impassively.Elliot gloated at once. “What else do you think? Old Master Hart nearly spat blood in anger after you and Myra’s public display of affection at Wilson Golf Club.”“Well, he can pretend that he didn’t see me then.” Tony leisurely leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. Won’t I be yelled at if I call him back? Since they’re so desperate for a granddaughter-in-law, I’ll bring one back.Meanwhile, Sean took Lyla and Eve back to the Chase Residence after the incident at Chase Group. Eve didn’t agree to go home at first, but she had to keep her temper after watching the video Sean showed her.Honestly, she didn’t quite believe that Myra would do something unfair to them, but what Myra did in the video forced her to be suspicious. Do I… really not understand Myra at all?Sean had asked Lyla to go downstairs for the time being, leaving only him and Eve in the bedroom at this moment.Looking as though she had grown ten years older in an instant
