Standing before love I have something to tell you
His voice was indifferent and monotonous. Yet, it managed to send chills down Gemma’s spine.Her body stiffened as she turned around and stared at the cold man. “What? No way… You obviously have feelings for me. You just don’t know it because you’re apathetic… It’s okay; it’s okay… I can wait…”She started talking gibberish, and Tony’s patience ran out. When he remembered Myra’s call, he directly ignored the woman in front of him and walked into his villa.Gemma stared at his distant figure. Her teeth nearly sank through her pink lip!It’s the same again! It’s the same every time! No matter what I do to pursue him, he never looks at me! Is there something wrong with me? However, she felt fortunate that she wasn’t the only one that Tony treated like that. He’s not drawn to women. Maybe, he’s born to be an indifferent man…Gemma tried to cheer herself up as she thought, No matter what, I’ve had a lot more chances compared to other women.After Tony got into the villa and got rid of the

After she finished talking, she lifted the bag again and walked back to her apartment. The light in Sean’s eyes had dimmed and a wave of slight anger filled his chest. Without thinking, he pulled Myra back by her hand. “Who are you seeing now?”Why else would she speak to me this way?At this moment, the two of them did not notice the black Maybach that was driving toward them in the sunset.Myra grew furious when he held her back. She seethed, “Even if I am seeing someone, what does it have to do with you?” The moment she saw the look on his face, her gaze turned bizarre. “Sean, don’t tell me you’re bothered that I’m with another man now? Don’t forget that we got divorced a long time ago. You have no control over who I choose to be with!”His expression was dark, and his eyes lit up with fury. But, seeing the calm expression on her face, he suppressed his anger and scoffed. “After all, we were married once. I just wanted to remind you of your status, Myra. You have to be wary of any

As Sean’s memories returned to him, he seemed to remember seeing Myra drive a silver Bentley Mulsanne once. At the time, a man was also sitting in the back of the car. Later on, he found out that the car belonged to Tony.When confidential information at Chase Group in Hilliville was stolen, Myra had come out of Tony’s office awkwardly.She was held at the detention center that same night, but by the time Sean made it there, someone had already taken her away. At the time, it was this black Maybach that drove past him. Is this the man who took her away back then? And the Sunny Bay Project… Sean recalled that Myra and Elsie had gotten into an argument, but shortly after that, Elsie was fired mercilessly from the Hart Group. Now it seems like that was also this man’s doing. Or was the Sunny Bay Project meant for Myra all along?Too many traces had been left behind. Before Sean believed all of this, he never thought to link the two of them together, but now, he did not have a choice anym

“Tony Hart, you’re… you’re shameless!” Myra seethed as soon as he let go of her lips.People were still passing by outside the apartment. The both of them had already garnered some attention, but their blatant act in the car compelled even more people to steal glances at them.“Don’t you know that better than anyone else?” Tony pursed his lips and stared straight at the woman in front of him. His gaze was deep and dark—like a deep body of still water. The bottom could not be seen but they still captivated people. When she was about to make him turn away, he suddenly pushed her waist up against his.The close contact made her body stiffen in an instant.She did not think that he would pull a rebellious stunt in that situation.Her face turned incredibly red. She wanted to escape from him, but she only started to speak incoherently from the anger. “Tony, you… you rascal! Let me out!”“You’re right, Myra. I am a rascal; a rascal for you.” He narrowed his eyes and spoke calmly.She shiver

Myra eventually lost her temper and flung the bag at him. “I’m not changing into anything!” she fumed. After she shrugged him off, she ran straight toward the car in front of her. During this time, however, she did not think of taking a cab back home.Being considerate and tolerant was necessary in a relationship. Both she and Tony already lacked both of those traits, but they were still able to learn how to love each other.By the time she arrived at the car, she still had to wait for Tony to get there.He walked toward her at a steady pace and shot an eyebrow up at her before unlocking the doors.Without a second thought, she got into the car.After he got into the car and locked the doors, he suddenly pressed up against her.Looking straight into her flustered eyes, he lowered his head and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. “Don’t be mad anymore, okay?”She felt like she was an even bigger hypocrite now. Just because he said those words, the grievances in her heart simply washed

Myra glanced at Tony. “I wasn’t expecting a visit from him today either. I didn’t want to talk to him at first, but he kept holding me back. He even gave me that invitation and said some strange things.”Finding out that she was the woman Tony had a crush on probably made her feel better. She did not want him to get mad again because of Sean nor did she want their relationship to go through more turbulence because of Sean. It was just not worth it.When she mentioned the invitation, Tony looked sideways at the white pamphlet that had fallen on the carpet in the car and a cold gaze flashed across his eyes.Even though he did not make a sound, she could feel his desolation. Biting her lip, she reached out and interlocked her fingers with his unoccupied right hand. When he did not push her away, her face turned slightly red and she murmured, “I admit I used to like him.”Her fingers suddenly started to hurt from the increasing pressure he was clenching her hand with.Grimacing in pain, s

Cameron tried reaching Myra multiple times on the phone lately, but she did not answer a single one of his calls. It wasn’t that she did not want to return to the Stark Group, but she wanted to make a statement before she did.Tony’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Myra. “Why do we have to wait for a bit before getting out of the car?”For some reason, she felt rather guilty from the way he was looking at her. But the thought of Kris made her frown and lower her head. “I don’t want to be in the same elevator as that person.”He looked back in the direction of the elevator. The doors had closed slowly, and the elevator was heading up.Because he had done a thorough check on her before, he was aware of Kris’ identity and perhaps even some of the relatives on Myra’s paternal and maternal side of the family that she might not have known herself. Seeing the look on her face, something flickered across his eyes. He held her waist and left a reassuring kiss on her forehead. “Let’s wait for a b

“Are you saying you want to take away the twenty percent I own of Stark Group?” Myra mocked.“That’s right!” Kris exclaimed without trying to cover her intentions. Suddenly, she lowered her voice and sounded especially vicious. “Don’t assume that I’m unaware. Aside from the twenty percent you own in Stark Group, you also have fifty percent of Chase Group’s property at Hilliville. And the Ritz Carlton… Myra, I gotta give it to you—you’re certainly amazing! Heck, you even had a deranged and pitiful mother who abandoned you and killed herself in the end!” Once she was done, her gaze became gentle and friendly again. She walked into the elevator calmly and let the doors close.Myra had her hands clenched tightly by her sides as she glared at the woman beside her. She could never forget the painstaking life her mother had in those last few years up until the day she killed herself in the hospital. Before she could say anything, the elevator doors were stopped from closing again by another

Standing before love Loss of reason
As Heather returned to Langston Group, her mind was full of questions while she troubled herself over the next step. The moment she opened the door to the office, Heather had the urge to cry, but she had no tears to shed. She looked at the man sitting on her seat and gave him a smile that looked worse than crying.“Where’d you go?” Matthias looked at Heather in disdain. It was obvious that he came here to catch her in the act.Matthias’ tone got on Heather’s nerves. She hadn’t even confronted him about the incident the day before, but he dared to use this questioning tone to talk to her.“That’s none of your business. Get off my chair.” Heather wasn’t intimidated in the least. If it weren’t for the glass door, she would’ve made Matthias wish he were dead.She was suddenly impressed by Blake for getting her an office with a glass door. It was crystal clear, so anything that happened on one side of the door could be seen from the other.The transparency restricted Heather’s actions and
Standing before love Business first
In the meantime, Heather noticed her phone ringing a few times but decided to ignore Matthias’ calls and hang them up. Nonetheless, her phone continued to ring again and again, no matter how many times she declined them. Eventually, Heather became annoyed and directly turned off her phone after her refusal to answer the call failed to make Matthias give up.On the other hand, the man lay down his phone in disappointment, surprised that Heather would rather turn off her phone than answer his call. It seems that I really did piss her off pretty badly yesterday. Great! Even Heather won’t talk to me now. At the thought of that, he somehow felt overwhelmed by loneliness.Meanwhile, Heather was bothered by mixed feelings inside her, deeming Matthias capricious and fathomless. Deep down, she reckoned Matthias still stubbornly insisted that it was all her fault for ruining his chance of living a happy life with Myra. Despite her guilt toward him about the things that had happened in the past,
Standing before love No need to do this
Considering her irrational state, Heather was prompted by her instincts to leave the place before the situation turned ugly. Nevertheless, she somehow couldn’t bring herself to simply just walk away because she didn’t know how she could face Matthias again if she opened the door and left like that. At the same time, she was mad and disgusted with herself for taking him into consideration at such a time.“Get out!” Matthias bellowed at Heather, clinging onto the last bit of his rationality.Heather calmly exchanged gazes with Matthias; she looked the man in the eye without even blinking as she refused to leave due to his impertinent attitude. I’m not just some woman whom you could just summon and shoo away as you wish! After all, the man’s mean response somehow hurt her pride.“You told me to follow you, and now you’re asking me to go?” Heather glared at Matthias, as if a fight could break out between them at any minute.Although Matthias was succumbing to his agitated emotions, Heathe
Standing before love Let matthia accept
Right now, Matthias had completely lost his composure and confidence. He was no longer his usual self, and his cowardly character was now totally out in the open. At this moment, Heather could not get away, but she could not ignore him either, so the two embraced each other in a bizarre manner.“Am I a failure?” Like a child, Matthias was curled up in Heather’s arms. He was a tall and burly man, yet he looked especially fragile at this moment.“No. There is no winning or losing when it comes to matters of the heart,” Heather replied gently. Recalling her previous relationship, she also thought at that time that she was a failure.Hearing that, Matthias held back his tears. Men should not shed tears, so he just stared at Heather. With mixed feelings, Heather felt uncomfortable under his stare, and she thought that she saw the old her in his eyes.“You’re not manly at all when you look like this.” Heather slightly raised her eyebrows, trying to ease the tension.At this time, no matter
Standing before love I’m in a hurry to go home
Heather was puzzled after being questioned by Matthias like that. It sounded like there were terrorists who wanted to attack Myra and Tony’s wedding. She was not someone who was willing to be led on like that, so she narrowed her eyes and looked at Matthias indifferently, as if she was watching a show.“Excuse me, but I’m in a hurry to get home.” She completely did not take his words to heart.With Tony’s skills, he was still able to protect Myra, so Heather wasn’t worried at all about what Matthias said.“Heather, please believe me.” Matthias’ eyes widened, making him look a little scary.“You’ve been making a scene all day. What more do you want?” Heather said helplessly. Actually, she felt disappointed in him and wanted to get rid of this annoying man as soon as possible.“Give me half an hour. I really have something very important to say to you.” Matthias was already trying to be very patient, but Heather’s words and actions made him feel really saddened.With a cold huff, Heathe
Standing before love Finding someone
The day of the wedding was approaching, and every day, Myra woke up in a different mood as she felt the subtle changes within her. Every day was a new day; sometimes, it felt like time passed too quickly, and sometimes, it was the complete opposite.Myra instructed Tony to keep a low profile; hence, during these days, Bradfort City was quiet. In fact, Tony had sent out invitations much earlier, so the entire business world knew that he was marrying Myra. Although several media companies got wind of the news, Tony didn’t allow them to report it indiscriminately, so the wedding was a very low-key one.Matthias received the invitation from Tony as well, and when he looked at the invitation in his hand, he felt that it was surreal. Gripping the invitation in his hand until it crumpled, he had no idea how to describe what he felt.Perhaps it was the joy that such an occasion brought with it that cast a peaceful vibe over the entire Bradfort City. Matthias looked at the computer in front of
Standing before love The lover who can do anything
When talking about things like bags, women simply could go on and on. Once again, Heather avoided the part that she didn’t want to talk about, and Myra also had no way to continue to ask her. However, she at least finally understood Heather’s relationship issues.Afterward, when she thought of the fact that Heather had kept such an important thing a secret, Myra felt a thorn in her heart. Nevertheless, she was also hiding something from Heather at the time.Even best friends had secrets that could not be said, so she felt better after comforting herself that way. Now that Heather had revealed this matter, Myra intended to go back to think of a countermeasure because she could not let Heather continue so.While chatting, time passed unknowingly, but the two still had a lot to say. However, Tony then arrived after getting off work, waiting to take Myra home.Glancing at Myra with envy, Heather felt relieved when she knew that Tony truly loved Myra. Just now, Myra had told her about the
Standing before love The one who convinces
She’s hesitating again. Guess I have to ramp up the intensity. It wasn’t every day Heather would talk about her relationship problems, so Myra wanted to teach her everything at once. “You’re still hiding something from me?” Myra asked sternly. She had to do that, or Heather wouldn’t cave in.“It happened back in school.” Heather struggled for a moment before finally deciding to come clean. It had been her little secret for too long, and she never told anyone about it. Now that she looked back on it, Heather thought it was a sweet memory, even though the relationship didn’t end well. It did bud, though.She and that young man were two proud individuals. It was the first time Heather came across someone who was so similar that she felt like he was her other half. It was then she started falling for him.Back then, she had just begun studying abroad in Italy, so everything was new and unfamiliar to her. The good thing was that she finally broke free of her family, and back then, she stil
Standing before love A difficult problem
It’s hard to talk about? Myra’s heart sank, because Heather never described anything that way. She shot Heather a look, telling her to keep talking.“How does it feel to love someone?” Heather asked after much hesitation. She didn’t know how it felt to love someone, nor did she know how to fall for someone.Myra shot her a look of surprise. “You have a crush?” That was the only reason for that question; at least, that was the only one she could think of.Heather shook her head. “No. But I don’t dislike him either. It’s a weird feeling.” Heather looked confused, because even she couldn’t understand the relationship between her and Matthias.Myra stared at her in disbelief. At that moment, she needed Heather to be completely honest with her, or she wouldn’t be able to give her any good advice. “Why’d you ask that question then?” Myra wasn’t about to be fooled. Obviously, she could see that Heather was going through something special in her life, and she could think of nothing else but r
