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
