When Rachel said that, she gently used one hand to stroke her belly. The bump on her belly was not that obvious, but both of them knew what was inside her belly.Still, Kris bit her lip. “But, even the doctor has said that this child will never be born. Dad is keeping such a tight grip over the company shares. If the baby isn’t born, how are we going to get a hold of those shares?”The basic condition to gain control over the Stark Group’s shares was for Rachel to give birth to a child. Moreover, it had to be a boy. They had known since the beginning that this child would not survive. Initially, they wanted to coax Cameron into handing the shares to them while it was still in her womb. However, they had underestimated his sense of vigilance.Rachel’s lips curved. “Do you remember the plan I told you about in the beginning?”Kris paused for a moment before nodding, “I remember; I’m just scared…”“Yes. It’s normal to be scared. After all, your father is inherently suspicious. If he real
As soon as Greta finished her words, Lyla felt as if she was completely drained of energy. She swooned and slowly fell to the ground.Monday arrived and it was work as usual for Myra. However, it was a slightly different working day for her. Tony was her driver today and he dropped her off directly at the front entrance of Stark Group. Clearly, they had no intention to hide their relationship.Before she exited the car, he leaned nearer to peck her on the lips before he released her from his embrace as her face flushed as red as a tomato.“I’ll come to pick you up later in the evening.” It was only after he said those words that he drove off.Not too long after Myra exited the car and she took a few steps forward, someone forcefully ran into her. After a minute, Kris exaggeratedly exclaimed, “Excuse me, somehow I didn’t notice there was someone by my side!”Evidently, she was indirectly being disparaging to Myra. As Myra was fully aware of that, she calmly stated, “Your eyes are place
Sean had time to chase Myra, but why didn’t he spend time with me? Ever since the divorce was finalized, he has become quieter as time passed. Recently, he has been leaving home at the crack of dawn and coming home late at night. I haven’t seen him for days as he leaves before I wake up and arrives home after I’ve slept. How can I stay calm knowing that it’s all because of Myra? What does he mean by all this? Does he still harbor feelings toward Myra and he’s been pursuing her after their divorce?Soon after Lyla said those words, Myra did not even get the chance to defend herself. Almost immediately, the staff members walking past and the receptionists at the front desk started to congregate together and they whispered among themselves.Myra’s face visibly darkened as she stared at Lyla in front of her. She coldly exclaimed, “Let go of my hands!”“Myra, I beg you. Please stay away from Sean. Please do not go after him…” Lyla sobbed. She held tightly onto Myra’s hands and refused to b
As soon as Sean saw Myra pause in her tracks, he realized in that moment that she cared a lot for Tony. He couldn’t control the hostility in his eyes as he exclaimed coldly, “Myra Stark, I admit that I’ve made some mistakes and I owe you an apology. However, Lyla never wronged you. In fact, it was you who reneged on your promise resulting in the harm of our unborn child. Besides that, you’ve been bullying her all this while. If you have any resentment or anger, just direct it toward me. Do you find it necessary to treat a pregnant lady so badly?”“What did I do to her?” Myra lifted her head and looked at him squarely in the eyes. Her expression remained calm as she coldly stared at him. Her expression was devoid of anger and hatred; this was in contrast to what Sean had anticipated. For a moment, he felt quite flustered while standing in front of her.Without skipping a beat, she repeated her question. “What did I do to her?” At the same time, her gaze fell on Lyla who was being held
Sebastian’s expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.As Sean noticed that, his face took on a ghastly expression.He had been having some complicated feelings toward Myra recently. As such, after hearing Lyla’s words, he jumped to the conclusion and blamed Myra for everything, as usual. I’m so used to doing this—no matter what happens, I always assume that Myra’s the one who made a mistake. I’ve actually… never given her a chance to explain her side of the story; plus, I’ve never really trusted her words at all.Instantly, Sean’s expression darkened as he came to this realization.As for Myra, she was astounded by Sebastian’s words. Soon after that, she felt a burst of warmth from deep inside her heart and it grew inside her.Sebastian may look impassive with his pursed-up lips, but I know that this is all just an appearance he puts up in front of me. Although he constantly acts as if he dislikes me, he always comes to my defense when necessary. Gran
At the Stark Group, after Sean left with Lyla in his embrace, Sebastian suddenly snorted loudly and gave Myra a long stare as he muttered, “Temptress!”Myra grimaced in return as she lifted the flask in her hands and said, “Thank you, Old Master Hart.”“Why are you thanking me? I wasn’t the one who prepared it!” Sebastian turned away as he went back to his usual haughty self.What a surprise—I sure didn’t expect to see Myra caught up in a skirmish with another woman, and then that Chase boy turned up as well. As a matter of fact, if I hadn’t appeared, she would be bullied by the two of them and she would definitely not be able to get a word in. Sebastian frowned and said, “You’re such a wimp. It’s no wonder that you’re no match for Tony.”Myra was feeling quite awkward at the moment.I never imagined that this would happen. I can’t believe that Old Master Hart saw the dispute between me, Sean and Lyla. In fact, I didn’t expect him to stand up for me either!Sebastian suddenly recalled
yla didn’t end up letting Sean send her home. She put on a considerate front as she told him that she understood he was quite busy with work, so she didn’t want him to rush around and tire himself. When Sean heard that, his heart softened. He gave her a kiss and escorted her to a waiting taxi while telling her to be careful. He then watched the taxi drive off before turning around to look at Stark Tower.Myra has changed so drastically and I sure didn’t expect that. I thought that she would remain steadfast in her love for me despite how I’ve hurt her. Turns out that all her affections were only an act. In fact, she probably never did love me as deeply as she portrayed.After coming to the realization, Sean clenched both fists tightly and he gave a last look at Stark Tower with his dark, brooding eyes before he turned around and left.Meanwhile, Lyla did not make her way home after parting ways with Sean.As soon as the driver drove a slight distance away, she looked at the driver as
All in all, did Tony help me enter the Chase Family so that he could claim Myra for himself?Lyla’s whole body was drenched in cold sweat upon this realization, and she couldn’t control the icy feeling permeating from within her heart either.“Director Hart… I’m sure you wouldn’t want Myra to find out who gave me those photos, right?” Lyla blinked slowly, her expression full of anger and resentment. As she stared at the man in front of her, she was reluctant to accept what was going on.The Hilliville Project’s doing so well right now. Obviously, Tony must have had his eyes on the development of Hilliville since back then. Could it be that he’s in fact after Myra’s stake in the project?As soon as Tony heard Lyla’s words, his expression became unreadable. “Miss Fisher, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to do that.”“Why wouldn’t I?” For a split second, Lyla’s emotions went out of control as she yelled at him. Upon noting his unflappable attitude, she forced herself to calm down. Biting on he
