However, upon seeing the ring on Myra’s hand, the crowd fell silent. There was a financial talk show two days ago, and the guest of the interview was none other than Tony Hart—the president of the Hart Group.At that time, apart from the trivial economic problems, the host was very interested in the ring on his hand. When asked if the day of the wedding was approaching, Tony casually answered ‘yes’. Right then, the affection on his face and the tenderness in his eyes when he looked at the ring nearly drowned everyone on and off screen!That particular talk show had shocked the entire Bradfort City, and they even showed a close-up shot of the ring. In fact, the employees of the Stark Group noticed that Myra had on the same-style ring, but it was only at this moment that they were certain that both of them were wearing couple rings!When Gemma saw the ring on Myra’s hand, her expression instantly turned unpleasant. Needless to say, Gemma wasn’t unfamiliar with that ring. When she first
If you call the police, naturally, someone will check the authenticity of your accusations! Since you said I was slandering you, then you won’t be afraid of people finding out the truth!” There was a joyful coldness in Gemma’s eyes.Myra squeezed her fists into even tighter balls.She wanted to say that what happened that day was just a misunderstanding. She had indeed entered Tony’s room that day, but only because Leo asked her to bring dinner up for Tony, which was why she entered Tony’s hotel room.However, Tony did, in fact, have some intentions toward her at that time. How was she supposed to explain it? She couldn’t possibly say that Tony regarded her as the kind of woman who would sell her body for a project and had treated her accordingly, right?Not to mention, she was framed for stealing trade secrets about the Chase Group’s Hilliville Project, so she had indeed stayed with Tony for one night.The next day, she even explained herself to the employees of the Chase Group, but
“You! How dare you say that to me!” Gemma was so angry that her chest was heaving violently, and she suddenly grabbed Myra’s hair before pulling it backward.Myra was caught off guard, and her scalp felt as if it was going to be torn off by Gemma.Tears sprang to her eyes because of the pain. The next moment, Tilly grabbed Gemma’s hair as well. “Let go of Miss Stark!”Just now, when Tilly sensed that something was wrong, she had given Tony a call. As soon as the call was connected, she saw Gemma pulling Myra’s hair. She was so shocked that she didn’t even bother talking to Tony anymore and quickly went to help Myra.Gemma’s scalp hurt, and the pain made her scream. Fortunately, she let go of Myra’s hair.Tilly rolled up her sleeves and looked at the people in front of her. With an extremely bitter expression, she pointed to the three security guards. “Did you not hear anything just now? I asked you to take her away, so why is she still here?! Is the commotion not big enough yet?!”She
When Sean heard Gemma, his eyes immediately turned cold. Narrowing them, he glanced over to see the smug expression she had on her face as she was looking at Myra.Myra was in a rather awful state after Gemma pulled her by the hair. Her hair was disheveled and her hairline was still red.Frowning, Sean immediately walked up to Myra and, instead of criticizing her, asked with a concerned voice, “What happened? Are you hurt?”Everyone there was stunned including Gemma and Cameron.After a slight pause, Myra knitted her brows together and walked around him without saying anything.Seeing the way she was treating him at the moment, Sean clenched his hands beside him.He was only concerned for her, but she no longer cared.Turning around, he looked at Gemma and asked, “What did you say? That Myra messed around with someone else while we were married?”His attitude garnered a doubtful expression from her.The attitude he had now was inconsistent with the rumors she heard about him, thus mak
Please have some respect for yourself, Miss Walton. You claim to be his fiancée without the Hart Family’s permission and even widely publicize it. Don’t you think that is inappropriate? Or do you not take the Hart Family seriously? It’s no wonder you barged into the Stark Group like a mad dog and attacked people.” Myra looked to the security guards at the side with an even colder gaze. “Looks like security is going to have to hire some new people now. A person can become incompetent when they’ve been in the same place for too long. Don’t you think so, President Stark?” She turned to look at Cameron who had a strange look on his face ever since Sean showed up.Cameron narrowed his eyes. Before security took action, he said with a stiff smile, “It’s all a misunderstanding. Miss Walton is young and impetuous. She can be a bit rash with her words. Myra, why would you bother with her? Oh, Miss Walton, didn’t you come to see Krissy? Her office is downstairs in the Project Department. I’ll h
Tony’s voice was low and humorous as he bantered. When Myra heard the word ‘wife’, her cheeks started to turn red. He was not usually a sentimental man, but, surprisingly, hearing that word come out of his mouth did not feel strange. Instead, it felt rather intoxicating.Biting her lower lip, she murmured, “I’m not married to you yet…”He let out a low and deep laugh. “Are you complaining that I’m not moving fast enough?”Upon hearing his words, her face turned even redder. She bickered, “Forget it. I’m going to sort out some documents now. Focus on your work. Don’t worry about things here.”He acquiesced with a smile.Soon after, their call ended.Nonetheless, he did not change the direction he was going in even after he hung up.When Tilly called him, she did not get a chance to talk to him, but he had heard everything that was happening at the time. He knew that Sean had gone to Stark Group and heard him defend Myra. Naturally, he also heard them talk about the video.Hay Group… Sa
Soon, the public started to condemn Myra. On top of that, the time when the Stark Family kicked her out of the house was also exposed. They called her malicious for harming the child her stepmother carried twice, promiscuous for cheating on several men while married to the director of Chase Group, and despicable for selling her own husband’s company’s trade secrets without hesitation in order to seek connections with influential families.Myra did not have to look to know how vicious the comments were. Drawing in a sharp breath, she took a step back. I didn’t think Gemma would risk everything to release this video to the public. She didn’t even stop to think about the Hart Family and Tony’s reputation!“Miss Stark, what should we do now? Should we issue a statement to deny the news report?” Tilly felt so anxious that she was sweating on her cheeks.It was obvious that they had underestimated Gemma’s ruthlessness. Tilly was too afraid to even think about what the Hart Family would thin
With a heavy weight on her mind, Myra took her cup and went to the break room to get some water. Before she went in, she heard a few women whispering to each other inside.“Do you guys think that video is real? I was at the meeting today. When Miss Walton released that video, Miss Stark simply remained silent. There’s no telling whether this video is real or not!”“Ah! If it’s real, does that mean she really had an affair?”“No! I heard from a friend at Chase Group that while Miss Stark was working with them, she was already hitting on Director Hart in order to get a hold of the Sunny Bay Project! How else did you think Chase Group, a real estate company that started barely two years ago, was able to get Hart Group’s Sunny Bay Project?”“But I think Director Hart treats Miss Stark really well. When I was working extra shifts the other night, it was raining heavily. You should’ve seen how gentle and caring he was when he came to pick Miss Stark up. Before this, I didn’t think Director
As Myra’s vision blurred, she fell into Heather’s arms, hearing the latter’s anxious voice calling her name.The sudden onset of pain was identical to the headache she had experienced before, but this time, it affected her whole body. Myra gripped her chest tightly, the pain threatening to cease her heartbeat. Without delay, Heather lifted her friend up.She then took Myra to the hospital in her car, but something peculiar happened. A short while after arriving at the hospital, Myra could feel that the pain had vanished.It was exactly like her headache last time, which left as suddenly as it came. Heather’s eyebrows creased in a frown as she wondered what was going on with Myra.“What did you see at the rockery?” Myra was staring in a particular direction when she fainted, but when Heather followed her gaze, she didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.“A cave,” Myra answered with a hollow look in her eyes.The frown on Heather’s brows deepened. How could a simple cave cause her to b
It was on the day before the wedding that Heather heard from Myra that the best man was Lucas. The moment Heather heard that name, she knew that he was one of Tony’s bros. She tried to recall Lucas’s features, remembering that he didn’t talk much and seemed to be more mature.“So, what do you think?” Myra asked teasingly, “You did say you want a best man who is tall and handsome.” She jokingly reminded Heather of what she said before.Heather smiled in response, which in turn caused Myra to feel slightly curious about it. The two proceeded to sip their drinks in silence.Myra’s wedding was just around the corner, and Heather was glad to see that Myra looked comfortable and relaxed. Myra had slight pre-wedding anxiety before, so it was nice to see that she had adjusted herself.“I’m going to give you an amazing gift,” Heather said, grinning.Myra replied, “Then I will also give you a superb gift in return.”“Why not just give me a gold card?” Heather joked.Looking at the time, Myra re
During this period, Heather looked at Myra from time to time. The atmosphere around the table was strange, giving her a sense of foreboding. The gaze that Myra returned was intriguing, as well—it made her feel uneasy.After lunch, as everyone sat around the table chatting, Heather glanced down at the time on her cell phone with a slight frown. Noting the movement, Myra realized that she could not keep Heather any longer, for lunch had already used up quite a bit of Heather’s time.Meanwhile, the clock read 2.00 PM. It was time for Heather to be at work. After dithering for a long moment, Heather decided to be direct and opened her mouth to tell Myra, “I have to go to work, so I’m taking my leave.”As it was, Heather rarely got to visit Hart Residence and had no wish to leave so hastily, but time did not permit her to linger. With a slight nod of her head, Myra responded, “Of course! Go on.” Of those at the table, she was the only one who could truly understand how busy Heather was.Fe
Tony had assured Myra previously that Philip and Lucas would surely show up if Heather agreed to come over. As expected, the two of them reached a while later.While Philip and Lucas didn’t confirm their attendance in the group, Tilly and Elliot confirmed that they couldn’t make it. As Tilly was completely overwhelmed by her public affairs, it had been a while since she and Elliot were separated due to her work. Hence, it was normal that Elliot would go look for Tilly when he had free time.While Shawn was busy every day as the vice-mayor, he obviously wasn’t free during the noon, so Estelle was the only one who replied in the group.‘Wait for me. I’ll be here in a bit since I wouldn’t want to miss out on Myra’s food.’ After last night, she wasn’t as afraid of Heather any longer. Moreover, it wasn’t as if she had to spend time with Heather alone because everyone else would be there as well.Since Estelle was the only person left that hadn’t reached, it wasn’t appropriate for them to s
After a long moment, Myra replied faintly, “We can have only one best man. Who should we pick?” There would be a quandary if they really intended to match Heather with the best man.Then, the choice for best man would become complicated, as there were currently two candidates from which Myra and Tony had to choose the one most suited to Heather.“Well, from your point of view, who would suit Heather more—Philip or Lucas?” It wasn’t up to Tony to decide, since Myra knew Heather better, anyway.“It’s hard to say. They both have their merits,” Myra replied hesitantly, wondering if she should have them meet up once more before the wedding.It felt too improper for them only to have met under the flickering lights of Zion Club and the influence of alcohol. There was a possibility that in broad daylight, Heather could feel a different spark altogether with the two candidates.“We still need to see what Heather thinks,” Tony suggested meaningfully.“Let’s find a time to meet up tomorrow,” sh
Prior to Tony and Myra’s wedding, Estelle, who was busy with her shootings overseas, rushed back. Not to mention, Tilly, who was on her annual holiday, canceled her holiday and came back as well. Immediately, Myra felt like Bradfort City had become lively again because it had been a long time since she met them.However, Tony, on the other hand, valued Myra over his friends and didn’t bother about them, as he was too busy spending time with her. After some discussion, they all decided to meet each other at Zion Club, and the Messenger group chat that went quiet for a long time became active again.Besides that, Myra also added Heather into the group. This was Heather’s first group chat on Messenger because she barely used it if it weren’t for Myra. The group got even more lively with her arrival while Tony warned the others as he figured that Heather was probably not used to lively chats like this. ‘You guys better behave well and don’t scare her away.’Unexpectedly, Heather replied,
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Evan looked away while Matthias stared at him from above. Matthias! How am I supposed to know when I know my way around girls?“Jobbery,” Evan said.It seemed like Matthias found Evan’s suggestion interesting as he gave Evan a knowing look while Evan only continued talking after a while. “Since Heather is completely focused on her work, it would be better for you to approach her under the name of work.”Heather probably wouldn’t be happy with Matthias if he kept approaching her anytime he could, especially when she was working. After all, most people wouldn’t be happy to be disturbed by private matters during work. Moreover, Matthias would just be ruining his chances, considering how career-oriented Heather was.“Seeing how the partnership discussion with Langston Group hasn’t reached an agreement, I don’t have the time to do anything else,” Matthias felt his head hurting as he said. He really wanted to work together with Langston Group f
On one hand, Myra and Tony were happily making their wedding preparations. On the other hand, things were getting worse. In comparison, Matthias appeared to be in a bleak situation.Heather thought that he deserved the outcome. Hence, she could never sympathize with him. Her failed relationship in the past did not cripple her, and she had never acted out like Matthias.In fact, she held a disdain for people like him who would cry and wail over relationship issues. She felt a heightened annoyance at Matthias, but she did not know if the feeling rose because she was angry at the fact that he was deeply in love with Myra.She was disturbed by his obsession with Myra, but she would never openly admit to it. Moreover, she had no right to confront him about his love for Myra.Under Evan’s encouragement, Matthias mustered up his courage to do something. He could not keep languishing when Myra’s wedding was nearing. At the very least, he wanted to attend her wedding with grace. Before that, h
When the date of Myra’s wedding drew closer, Matthias seemed to have fallen into a trance.Heather had completely given up on him, for she always looked down on men like him. Seriously though, what is his point of showing his despondency like a drama queen?Finally, it was Evan who called her and begged her to pay a visit to Matthias’s place.“I’m super busy. I don’t have the time to do so,” she rejected emotionally. Even after listening to Evan describing Matthias’s desperate situation, she had nothing but disdain for him.At that point, Matthias was basically living in his wine cellar and gave up on running Locke Group. His behavior attracted complaints from the board of directors. Even Heather was shocked to find Matthias throwing a huge fit over Myra’s wedding. In her eyes, his action was utterly despicable.“Please tell him: He does not deserve love if he only acts out like a child. He needs to learn how to love someone right before he gets all dramatic over someone again,” she h
