However, Sebastian was obviously interpreting her silence as acquiescence.

He narrowed his eyes all of a sudden. The men of the Hart Family had similarly slender eyes. Once narrowed, their gaze would instantly appear sharp.

“Hmph!” Out of nowhere, he grunted, then placed his hands behind his back. His expression was extremely unpleasant as he asked Myra, “Then, did you agree to her request?”

He looked as if he would fight her immediately if Myra answered yes.

Myra’s waist suddenly hurt, so she subconsciously shook her head. “No.”

“Huh. At least you still know how to act according to the circumstances!” At that, Sebastian’s face eased a whole lot. He turned once more, then said coldly, “At first sight, I knew that Eve wasn’t anyone good. The Chase Family members are all like this. You’ve already left the Chase Family, so you can no longer think about going back to them. Got it?”

Being faced with Sebastian’s death stare, Myra let out a helpless ‘yes’.

    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

  • Standing before love    What happened

    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

    (Final Chapter)However, before Myra could digest the incidents, a knock on the door emerged again. Zayne’s eyes lit up at once as he reckoned it was most probably Jason this time.Sure enough, Jason appeared in front of them with injuries. Leon found Jason rather unfamiliar as it was natural for one to not remember a driver’s appearance.“You’re finally here, Jason!” Heather exclaimed in surprise upon seeing him as she had waited for him for a long time.“Zayne Lee.” With a cold look, Jason walked up to Zayne and tilted his head to look at him. “Stop acting. I know you’re not injured.”Zayne stared at Jason awkwardly as he had not expected to be seen through by Jason so easily. Meanwhile, the others glanced toward Zayne in shock.“Congratulations. Your plan to lure the enemy out has succeeded. Now, I can tell you with certainty that the mastermind behind all these is Caleb Moriarty.” It was very rare for Jason to spit out such a long sentence.The others were not surprised upon heari

    Since the situation had escalated to this point, they could only fight to their death, and Matthias was prepared for the battle. Even though the opponent was one of the top killers in the world, it was not an issue at all for Matthias to protect himself. However, it would be an arduous task to protect Zayne, the patient, at the same time.Matthias decided to be the vanguard and asked Leon to stay by Zayne’s side while he guarded the door vigilantly. They didn’t know when the killer would discover them, so Matthias had to guard the door well.Meanwhile, Heather kept increasing the fare’s price to the driver, hoping that she would be able to find Jason as soon as possible. Looking at the GPS, she became more flustered when they got closer to the destination. She was perturbed as the truth was about to be revealed, and she was all the more anxious at the thought of the critical situation in the hospital. Even if she successfully found Jason now, there was not enough time to rush back to

    Since when has Leon become this caring? Lying on the bed, Zayne really wished to turn to lie on his side. Due to the anesthetics, he didn’t feel much pain; he just felt uncomfortable because he couldn’t stretch his body. Nevertheless, he wasn’t hoping for anyone to understand his feelings at this moment. He attempted to move his body as he was worried if he had actually become handicapped.Leon glanced at Zayne in puzzlement, wondering what he was struggling about. Zayne didn’t seem to be in a good situation, but Leon had no idea how to help him. The two of them faced each other while Leon stared at Zayne with an inquiring look, but he still couldn’t understand what was on Zayne’s mind.It was only until Matthias came into the ward did the standstill between the two come to an end. Leon stood up and stared at Matthias. At that moment, all three of them were at a loss for words as an awkward atmosphere arose in the ward.Alas, Leon spoke up and broke the ice. “I’m going to buy oranges

    The atmosphere surrounding the two men was extremely intense. Matthias didn’t want to cause more trouble at this moment, so he took a few steps back and attempted to keep a distance away from Leon.Leon understood Matthias’ intention. He smirked and said in a sarcastic manner, “President Locke, I heard you’ve been keeping a woman recently.”Matthias freaked out upon hearing his words. So Leon’s actually mad because of this. Matthias couldn’t think of an appropriate explanation. Staring at Leon’s eyes, he knew Leon might not buy his words even if he explained them to him.“You actually believed those rumors?” Matthias said justly. He didn’t intend to explain the details to Leon, nor did he want to be maligned.“I’ve seen you and the woman together with my own eyes.” If it wasn’t that Leon had seen it himself, he wouldn’t be this suspicious of Matthias.Matthias looked at Leon in resignation. It seems like he’s really concerned about Heather’s matters—he’s still bothered about these thi

    Heather walked toward the main road while pondering. Judging by the traffic of the cars that were passing by on the busy road, she had a feeling it would be very hard for her to get a cab at this moment. Hence, she was starting to get a headache just by staring at the noisy street.She reckoned no drivers would be willing to accept a booking at times like these but she still decided to give it a try—only now did she suddenly realize the importance of owning a car.But alas, the fastest way she could think of was to increase the offer price. She believed there would definitely be drivers who were willing to accept her booking as long as she offered a price that was high enough. However, she worried that the cabs were too far away.True enough, when Heather opened the ride-hailing app, there were no drivers around the area. She wished she could get a driver by offering a huge stack of money, but sometimes, there were situations that even money couldn’t solve.When a driver finally accep

    Ever since he stepped foot in Bradfort City, Zayne had nothing but problem after problem piled on his plate. This time, he looked for trouble himself. Matthias’ situation was already far beyond what Zayne could handle, and Jason knew that the latter was barely holding on.After Matthias had left, Jason descended into worry. He looked at Zayne, his face a little on the pale side. Neither brother had managed to reach an agreement. Jason completely did not approve of what Zayne was doing, and the conflict between them could blow up at any moment.The atmosphere was loaded like a powder keg. Both men’s expressions were tense, and it seemed as though things would break down the next second. Jason moved and took a step forward, whereas Zayne curled his hands into fists. The situation was both awkward and tense.Jason continued to march forward. Zayne could find no reason to make him stay, so he helplessly watched as Jason left the room. He looked at his younger brother, his lips faintly qui

    Anger was still anger in the end, and Heather wasn’t someone who would cling to someone unreasonably either. She knew that Leon wouldn’t have hung up on her so easily, and it seemed that he was extremely tired.After her call with Leon ended, Zayne texted her. She played the video clip that he had sent to her, but she wasn’t sure how to react to it. Not only that, Heather didn’t know how he had managed to get his hands on this firsthand information—the venue in the clip was where the Locke Group’s board of directors were currently at.Heather took notice of Matthias in an instant. When she saw him there all by himself, she suddenly felt that he needed to be protected as well. Sometimes, she really couldn’t get a handle on him as her heart ached for Matthias.However, Heather couldn’t bring herself to examine her conscience even though she could sense that Matthias was under a lot of pressure. She had only watched a few seconds of the video clip, but her heartstrings were already being

    At that moment, any further exchange would simply be pointless. The day had barely started, yet it was already so disastrous. The next hours would be even more so.The more Zayne wanted her to admit it, the more resistant she was to do so. With a stiff face, she responded, “It’s his personal affairs. Why should I care?”When he heard her bold words, Zayne had a hard time holding back his laugh, for he was astounded by how persistent she was. Heather was so reluctant to admit it, so he didn’t want to pursue the matter any further. Since she felt that way, he shall have it her way.“What’s your plan today?” As he went off on a tangent, Zayne started to chatter casually. Heather felt that there had to be an underlying meaning behind his words, so she shot him a deadly glare.On the other hand, Zayne stared at her calmly, and he thought her petite look was extremely adorable. She must be dwelling on nonsense again!“Other than locking myself in here, what else can I possibly plan for? I l

    In the freezing night, Matthias stared at the mansion in front of him with not a trace of anger. Since it belonged to the Lockes, it will no longer mean anything to him from now on. Should I say goodbye?Ever since Evan left, the residence had been especially quiet at night. Having lost his attachment to the mansion, he coldly gazed at the building as if the entire area only had one residence.Despite his desire to walk in, he stopped himself outside the home. After all, he was now truly alone after pushing everyone else away.At this moment, he sensed a fragrance of blossoms wafting in the air. He tried to locate the source but to no avail. Surprisingly, such a subtle aroma somehow matched the winter so well. As he took in the scent, he was reminded of the countless incidents, wondering when they would finally end.What surprised him was the fact that the family head had yet to look for him since he left the Locke Group, and that made him feel rather peaceful as the head seemed to ha
