After taking her into his embrace, he used his injured hand to tap open a video in his phone.There were two people in the video—Gemma and Tony.However, it was different from the one that Gemma had shown Myra. That video began with Tony strangling her but in this video, the whole process, as well as the other scenes, were shown—Gemma tried to seduce Tony and refused to let him leave, giving him no choice but to strangle her before he let her go. After that, Tony’s car was about to drive off but Gemma was seen stomping on the pedal in an attempt to run into his car. To make matters worse, the video that Gemma had shown Myra was soundless, but there was audio in this video that Tony showed her. Therefore, Myra was able to hear every single word that Gemma said.“Tony, I only want to help you to relieve your needs. I know that Myra is now pregnant, and you… you… Now that she is pregnant, you must be having a hard time holding back your desires. I have thought things through and I know t
“What are you going to tell me now? That the video was not released by the Walton Family?” Sebastian raged in a sharp tone without any consideration for Old Master Walton’s pride.The latter was so angry that his face flushed red in anger and at the same time, he was at a loss for words. Apparently, they had found out that it was Gemma who released the video to the public, which indicated that she had no intention to make peace with the Hart Family.Before Old Master Walton could even say a word, Sebastian directly hung up the call and switched off his phone.Old Master Walton was so pissed that his chest heaved vigorously. After the call was hung up, he hit his cane so hard on the floor that it snapped.“Dad, how was it?” Samuel worriedly asked from the side.“What else can have happened? Gemma has gotten herself in big trouble this time!” Old Master Walton growled.He did not expect that his granddaughter would kick up such a huge mess when they only took their eyes off her for one
Before the video was played, the reporters had only watched the video that Gemma released to the public, which was only part of the video that was being played now. Gemma had removed the scenes where she tried to seduce Tony and the car accident that happened after that.When the complete video was revealed to the crowd, they could not help but to look at one another, only to find the same surprised look in everyone’s eyes—the entire situation turned out to be something unexpected.First of all, Gemma had attempted to seduce Tony in the basement car park but her repetitive attempts pissed him off. Tony had tried to ask her to let go of him, but she took things even further by saying those shameless words—those were words that should never come out from the mouth of a decent young lady of an influential family. Her actions enraged Tony, which caused the latter to strangle her, but it was not his intention to kill her. From the earlier scene, everyone could tell that he was merely tryin
All of a sudden, the sounds of keyboards tapping away and camera shutters going off filled the room.Soon after that, the details from the Hart Group press conference became published; naturally, the response that ensued was quite significant.Originally, Miss Walton, who was allegedly the victim, the weaker party, and the person abandoned, suddenly turned out to be a despicable home-wrecker, a lunatic, and a vicious woman. From then on, there were all sorts of negative tags attached to her.Perhaps it was because everyone didn’t expect the distinguished Young Lady of the Walton family to be such a shameless woman. The words that came out of her mouth were quite explicit, after all.“I just want to give you some comfort during her pregnancy… Now that she is pregnant, you must be having a hard time holding back your desires. I just wish to continue to admire you in secret and to sometimes appear by your side when you need me. I won’t ruin your family; I just want you to occasionally be
Shelly had assumed that compensating the other party would be sufficient to resolve the issue, but she didn’t realize that the misdeed could possibly lead to imprisonment. She nearly fainted out of fright upon realizing the gravity of the situation.Samuel’s eyes were dark and brooding. However, he didn’t make any promises to Shelly.By then, Gemma realized the severity of the situation and sobbed in fright. “Grandpa, I’ve learned my lesson and I know it’s my fault! Please, Grandpa! I’m scared! Dad, Gideon, I don’t want to go to jail! Tony is completely unharmed and I don’t want to go to jail!” Gemma sobbed uncontrollably and her tears soaked through the dressing on her face. Shelly, who was next to her, couldn’t control her tears either.“Stop all that crying! I’m well and alive here!” Feeling frustrated, Edward took another look at the live stream. Without a second thought, he switched it off with a cold expression on his face.Gideon’s current expression was thunderous. Everyone wa
“Imagine if both your wife and your lover fell into the water at the same time—who would you save first?”Upon remembering what her friend had said a few days ago, Myra felt her heart ache; it was so acute that it threatened to suffocate her. She stood stiffly in the banquet hall while the exquisite knee-length blue dress she wore was glued to her wet body, making her like a drowned rat.When the company employees in the hall saw her, they began to whisper and snicker among themselves. She did not have to eavesdrop to know what they said about her.“She’s trying to climb the corporate ladder by sleeping with the director…”“I heard she wanted to push the director’s girlfriend into the pool!”“How could someone who acts high and mighty all the time be so shameless?”A few moments ago, Myra had been taking a stroll in the back gardens of The Alegria when Eris, a rising star and Sean’s latest conquest, approached her and blocked her way.“Myra, you may be Sean’s legal wife, but if I were
For a moment, she wondered whether he even heard her. He was already dressed and stood tall, but he did not respond as he took out a heart-shaped red velvet box from the drawer. Sean glanced at his watch. When he looked up again, his face was colored with indifference and annoyance. “Myra, don’t pull any of those dirty tricks against my woman. I’ve fulfilled your wish for a marriage—what more do you want from me? If you want to claim me as your own, I’m afraid I have no such feelings for you. If you want my heart—” “I told you I wasn’t the one who pushed Eris into the pond!” Myra interrupted him through gritted teeth before he could say anything more condescending. Her lips were pale and she trembled so badly that she could collapse at any given moment. Upon hearing what she said, Sean scowled. “Are you saying that she lied?” A look of disgust passed over his face as he scoffed and turned from her. “She can’t swim—did you know that? She could have drowned if I did not arrive on ti
Being a member of Stark, Myra was well aware of the Harts’ existence since they were one of the most prominent families in Bradfort City. Tony had three siblings in total—a sister and two brothers, all of whom were older than him. His sister was married and both his brothers were in politics and the military respectively, making him the only child out of the four to display a keen interest in business. He was the grandson whom the old Sebastian Hart doted on the most. However, Myra heard that Tony had been a rebel in his younger days and he had refused to inherit the family fortune. She wondered what could have made him return suddenly to take over the Hart Group. On the other hand, she could also understand why the ladies were fascinated with him. After all, he was the heir to the Hart Family business, which meant his worth and stature were undoubtedly impressive. He was also the walking textbook example of tall, dark and handsome. There was something oddly familiar about his eyes
