Myra’s chin was still aching. Looking at Tony’s sour expression, she felt aggrieved for some reason. She turned away, not looking at the man in front of her.Without warning, she felt a cool sensation on her chin. She wanted to struggle, but the man grabbed hold of both her hands and placed them on top of her head.“If you don’t behave yourself, then just wait and see how I deal with you!” Tony’s deep voice sounded, and it contained a trace of anger.Myra couldn’t help but feel even more wronged when she heard his angry tone.Is he angry? What’s he angry about?She had already asked him about it just now, but he didn’t seem to hear her.She bit on her lip, then kept her mouth shut and said nothing.At first, his movements around her chin were a bit rough. She was already in pain, so it hurt even more with his rubbing. Myra gritted her teeth but remained silent.Somehow, the hand rubbing her chin gradually grew gentler, and the cooling sensation gradually eased. At once, a lot of the p
“Myra, I may not care about what people say about you, but you do, right?” Tony paused, then looked at the woman in front of him, who looked rather awkward. His expression became considerably gentler. “I know what you’re thinking. You’re afraid my reputation will be ruined, right?”He let out a low chuckle next to her ear, causing his breath to spread all over her neck. She found it ticklish and couldn’t help but shrink her neck back.Leaning over, Tony placed a kiss on her lips. “This society will always be a little harsher on women and a little more tolerant of men. I’m a man, so it doesn’t matter even if they throw dirt my way because it’s true that I already had intentions for you at the time.”Tony’s tone was nonchalant, but Myra squeezed her palms. She shot him a quick glance before looking down. “Anyway, since the situation is like this now, regardless of whether or not the dirt is on me, I won’t be able to wash it off.”It was just as Tony said. This society was always a littl
Richard pondered for a long while as if thinking about what he should say. Sean waited for so long that he was growing impatient, but Richard suddenly said, “Miss Stark has fought for many projects for the Chase Group in the past.”That was indeed the truth.In the beginning, the Chase Group was in a terrible state. After Myra took over the design department, she had been busy and constantly working overtime.She took great pains to obtain more projects for them.She never complained about working overtime or the intensity of her workload. Judging from how hard she worked, no one could believe that she was a dainty young lady from a wealthy family.Obviously, Sean knew that Myra wasn’t the only one who was busy in the beginning because he was too. A lot of times, when he took the stairs down to the underground parking lot, he could see her when he passed by the design department, and she would always be the only one working overtime.She never once complained to him about work, and sh
Considering the fact that they were pregnant, the two of them only ordered orange juice. However, Elsie’s stomach started to ache after she drank the juice, and the bottom of her dress was soaked in blood.She immediately called Eve, who then phoned the hospital right away. When Elsie was sent into the operation theater, Eve quickly called her son. Everything happened so fast that she didn’t even have the chance to catch her breath.When Elsie finally came out of the operation theater, Eve was told by the doctor that the former was fine but the child couldn’t be saved. Immediately, her eyes were filled with anger and she glared at Lyla. If it wasn’t for them being at the hospital, Eve would have slapped her on the face right away. “Are you happy now? Lyla, I’ll have you know that you won’t get away with this so easily! Sean will be here soon and he’ll find out how cruel you are for killing the child inside Elsie!”At that point, Eve was about to blow a gasket. Before this, Elsie went
At this point, it’s all because Eve forced me to do it! If she didn’t keep on protecting the child inside Elsie, I wouldn’t need to do this!While clenching her fists tightly, Lyla glanced at the door of the ward one last time and furrowed her brows before leaving the place.However, the two of them didn’t know that a dark figure was standing at the emergency exit as he listened to everything they said just now.At the moment, his face looked terrifyingly dark. Even though it was a rather warm autumn, the coldness of his face felt as though it could freeze someone completely.No one knew how much time had passed but it had been quiet outside for a long while. Finally, his eyebrows twitched slightly and he lifted his gaze, revealing the coldness within.…“I know that if my position in the family is under threat, I won’t mind telling him how Myra was framed back then.”“Or are you still lying to yourself? Do you really think I don’t know what you did to me and Sean’s child at that time
Sebastian’s attitude yesterday was a result of his anger but after Lisa’s advice, he thought about it for the whole night. In all honesty, it wasn’t hard for him to see past it.When he saw Myra coming down the stairs, he even took the initiative to greet her and call her over for breakfast. Even though his tone still sounded a little dark, it was a whole lot better than ignoring her.Meanwhile, Tony also came down with her. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants that went along with his meticulously tied dark green tie. However, there weren’t any emotions on his dashing face except for the two rows of teeth marks that were now imprinted on his gorgeous-looking face, serving as a contrast to his cold aura.“Uncle Tony, who bit your chin?” Except for the naïve Henry, everyone else pretended to not notice the bite marks on his chin.Listening to Henry’s words, Tony walked to Myra’s side, causing her face to flush immediately. She didn’t dare to look at the man next to her, so she
According to Tony’s status and position, he could have any woman he wanted, so why would he want a divorced woman? But if we are talking about marriage, the situation is totally different.Therefore, Jordan’s gaze inexplicably became more serious.Suddenly, Tony patted his shoulder and murmured, “My grandpa is already making arrangements for the wedding, so it’ll probably happen in the next two months.”Immediately, a hint of surprise flashed through Jordan’s eyes. Looks like Old Master Hart has agreed to this. All of a sudden, he couldn’t help but feel impressed as he looked at Myra. If a divorced woman like her, who has lots of scandals surrounding her, can receive Old Master Hart’s approval of joining the Hart Family, it means that either she is a godlike manipulator or there’s something wrong with the news that broke out yesterday. According to my sharp sense toward gossip, there’s definitely a possibility that yesterday’s news is fake. However, since she is about to join the Hart
Sean’s statement stoked the flames of the already-heated discussion. There were those who remained suspicious of Myra and they challenged her to speak up for herself to prove she wasn’t guilty. However, these keyboard warriors were quickly shut down by others who relentlessly called them out for their jealousy, claiming that they only vilified Myra because they couldn’t stand to see her better off than their sorry lot. Soon after that, the vicious comments stopped and all seemed to have been perfectly resolved.Presently, Leo’s expression remained unchanged, but he felt like he was walking on clouds as he left Tony’s office after the latter had increased his yearly bonus. He had only just come out of the office when Ivy was about to enter. He assessed her impassively and did not notice the frosty look in her eyes as he greeted with a smile, “Miss Ivy, Director Hart appears to be in a good mood today. Now would be a good time to let him know about the newly-revised investment funds all
