This time, Lyla took a deep breath before quickly answering the call. Immediately, a gloomy man’s voice was heard on the line. “Lyla, it’s been so long since you went back. Did you find yourself a new boy toy? You forgot about me so fast, and you didn’t even pick up my call!”As soon as Lyla heard his gloomy and ruthless voice, her hand trembled subconsciously. Then, she pretended as though she was cold when she said, “Director Walton, I broke up with you before I left. I hope you won’t call me again. You’re disturbing me.”“Ugh…” There seemed to be a woman moaning softly from the other side of the phone, and it was coupled with an ambiguous thumping sound. Lyla was very clear as to what was happening over there. Although she felt disgusted, she only bit her lip instead of hanging up. Gideon’s cold voice that sounded discontented rose again. “Disturbing… It looks like you’ve really found yourself someone new. But, what should we do? When you first came to me, this game wasn’t somethin
Naturally, that conversation became a thorn in Eve’s heart. She was never fond of Lyla, and now, Lyla was just a real eyesore.Eve’s expression was gloomy, yet Lyla didn’t seem to have the patience to entertain her anymore. She walked past her directly and went straight for the house.Eve’s expression sank further. Infuriated, she pulled her lips into a tight line, though she could only choke down her rage. This wasn’t the time. She didn’t want Sean to be caught in the middle of their fight. Still, don’t let me find out what you did behind my son’s back, Lyla! she thought as her heart boiled with hatred.After Lyla hung up on her, Kris didn’t look good. She knew what kind of woman Lyla was. Nonetheless, they had a common enemy. The enemy of her enemy was her friend. This wasn’t the time for her to fall out with Lyla. But, the scene of Myra flirting with Tony set the rage in her heart ablaze.Tony dropped Myra off somewhere near the Stark Tower.Taking her time to unfasten her seatbelt
In the afternoon, Cameron gave Myra a new mission: she had to acquire the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Project that the Bradfort City’s government had recently called for tender. The Stark Group had attached great importance to the project, considering it as important as the Elsinore Garden Project for the second half of the year. When Myra got her hands on the project, the company was stunned, and they appreciated her effort.At night, before Tony called her, Myra had taken the initiative to give him a call, telling him that she had to work overtime tonight, so she might be going home late.By the time Tony received the call, he had already driven his car to the entrance of the Stark Tower. Leaning against his car, he smoked nonchalantly. He was dressed in a suit with the buttons on his chest undone, exposing the white shirt underneath his suit jacket. His outfit added a touch of sass to his originally serious aura. The waves of smoke brought out the beauty of his handsome facial features.
“Tony, are you leaving?” Elliot was a little excited to hear that he would have something to do again. However, Tony’s actions quickly rendered him speechless.Tony used to be a man who spent time with them until one to two in the morning before he went home. Now that he had suddenly turned into a family man, arriving late and leaving early, Elliot thought Myra had given him a curfew.“Myra’s still at the company,” Tony said and put out his cigarette before he walked outside, leaving behind three men who couldn’t stand the change in his personality.The night was slightly cool in early autumn. After Tony left the Zion Club, he put on the suit jacket casually. By the time he made it to the entrance, the valet had already got his car ready and gave him his key the moment he saw him.Tony took the key and saw someone at the corner of his eye. His eyes slightly narrowed and something crossed his mind. Instead of leaving the club, he ended up walking toward the corner next to Zion Club.Zi
Kris was exasperated as she went to get her shoe back. When she walked back out again, Tony’s car was already gone.She stomped her foot in anger but could only return to her car for the time being.Tony gave Elliot a call upon leaving the Zion Club. Once the call was answered, his brows pulled together as he asked, “Can you look into Kris’ mother, Rachel Parker’s, pregnancy?”Since Elliot had him on speaker, the other two people there also heard him. Philip chuckled, “I was wondering why you were dealing with that woman at the door. It looks like you were trying to get information.”Tony had a blank expression. He did not want to play along with Kris initially, but since she walked up to him herself, he thought of taking the chance to ask some questions. As expected, there were some problems.“From what I heard, Cameron’s current wife is pregnant with a boy. According to Cameron’s priorities and shrewdness, even if we don’t consider the gender of the baby, this pregnancy shouldn’t be
It was within Tony’s expectation that Myra would not attend Bradfort City’s Road to Success Conference that was organized by Bradfort University. In the morning, he dropped her off at the entrance of Stark Group. When he thought of the man he was going to meet soon, he suddenly pulled her back awkwardly as she was about to get out of the car. “Give me a kiss.”“Huh?” Before she had time to react, a kiss was swiftly placed on her lips. At the same time, she heard the sound of a camera shutter.Feeling bittersweet, she wanted to stay and embrace the man who was leaning over.When she saw the burning look in his eyes, she smirked and leaned forward to kiss him. “Why did you have to take a photo secretly?”“No reason. I want to keep this moment as a memory.”The pompous man returned her a serious expression and fiddled with his phone for a bit. When he looked up and saw that she was still in her seat, he asked, “Why haven’t you gone to work yet?”Feeling slightly offended by his indiffere
Tony must have felt Sean’s eyes on him. When he turned casually, he was met by a pair of somber eyes. Smirking, he said, “You left in a hurry last time so I didn’t get the chance to congratulate you, Director Chase. I heard you and Miss Fisher are getting married next month. I hope you live a long and happy life together.”Those words plunged into Sean’s heart like a sharp awl. His lips moved. “Thank you, Director Hart.”He looked away after he spoke. The lines on his cheek turned stone-cold as if he was suppressing his anger.Tony smiled faintly, but there was not a trace of warmth in his eyes.Shortly after, the conference reached its peak. Tony was the last to go up on stage after Sean was done with his turn. When he went on stage, the lively energy of the crowd almost ripped through the roof of the auditorium.The students in the audience posed many questions such as what he was like in school, problems in the early stages of entrepreneurship, and the reason he succeeded the Hart
Myra recalled Kris always being fond of that villa in Cape District.But it was a property that Cameron was hoarding—it was the most expensive and significant place to him—so he never let it go to Kris.When Cameron blurted those words out, Myra felt disgusted but also surprised, and she understood why Kris had a sour expression on her way out earlier. Nonetheless, she did not think that this was Cameron’s sudden attempt at being a loving father. Narrowing her eyes at him, she said, “Just tell me what this is about, President Stark. Even if you don’t find beating around the bush annoying, I find it quite exhausting.”This time, however, he was not displeased with her rude speech and simply gave her a resigned smile. “Look at you. I just wanted to make your journey to work every day more convenient for you. Your sister always wanted that villa, but I kept it for you. Myra, I treat you much better than I treat your sister.”“Oh.” She did not show any emotions. “Since you want to give it
