Rachel tried to calm Cameron down while winking at her daughter.When Kris received her mother’s hint, she bit on her lips while her eyes turned red, as if she was forcing her tears back.“Dad, what I did today was truly reckless, but it was Thomas who begged me to do it at first. He said that he has admired Myra for a long time, so he hoped that I could help him get closer to her. Also, I have always been afraid of her snatching the shares of the Stark Group from your hands through Tony’s support. After all, we all clearly know her ambitions. With that in mind, I did all of this for you, Dad…”“For me?” Cameron’s face grew colder as his eyes were filled with disdain. “You think I don’t know what you are actually thinking of? Kris, I’m happy that you don’t want your sister to get the shares of the Stark Group, but don’t forget that she is still my daughter—no matter how much you hate her. She is your own sister! How could you do something like this to hurt her? If you are able to plot
At that moment, Tony’s thin lips looked as though they had some sort of magical power that made it irresistible for Myra to softly kiss him. One of her hands also went up to his face and reached out for his narrow brows before gently caressing them.Suddenly, her tender hand was completely engulfed by a big, dashing hand.Before she had the chance to react, her whole body was suddenly carried and laid next to the man.The narrow eyes which were closed earlier now stared into her terrified eyes.“Myra, did you just do that on purpose…”The man’s voice was a little husky because he had just woken up.Thinking about how she secretly kissed him while he was sleeping soundly earlier, Myra’s entire face instantly flushed!“Tony, you were already awake…” She struggled to break free from the man in front of her, but as soon as she moved, she was immediately pulled back by his enormous hand.He gave her a quick kiss on the lips and murmured, “I had woken up a long time ago. I just couldn’t sle
Upon hearing Myra’s words, Tilly immediately shook her head. “Miss Stark, it has nothing to do with you. It’s all because of that perverted Mr. Hughes. How could we have known that he would do such a thing to us?”At this point, Tilly’s eyes were filled with mixed emotions.Myra knew the real mastermind behind all this, but she did not want Tilly to be involved in it any longer, so she comforted her instead.When Tilly turned and left the office, Myra suddenly noticed a few tiny red marks on the back of her neck. She was no longer the girl that was oblivious to the intimacy between men and women, so she knew that the red marks…Immediately, she was startled as Tilly had disappeared from her office door.Today, Kris was forced by Cameron and Rachel to come to work in the office; otherwise, judging from her arrogance and pride, she would never turn up at work with a swollen face.The two slaps that Cameron gave her last night carried its weight. Even though Kris had already applied some
Kris had a high standard for men. At that moment, she felt that not many men were worthy of her except for Tony.However, it did not stop her from having fun with other men, but at the same time, she knew that those men could only provide her with temporary happiness as they weren’t her choice of marriage partner.In the past, if this man were to openly hold her in his arms at the company, her face would have turned cold at the start. However, her heart today was filled with many grievances and rage. Furthermore, it so happened that Cameron and Rachel did not comfort her after the incident, but instead, they made her feelings worse, which was why the man’s actions felt a little warmer to her, especially the concern in his eyes for her without even asking a question…“What else could it be? Other than Myra, who else would do this to me…” Her eyes started to turn red as tears rolled down her face.Hayden felt distressed and angry at the same time as he tightened his arms around Kris. “H
With a gentle smile, Myra replied, “Thank you.”However, she did not know that as soon as she left the Hart Group, several staff members started talking about her intensely at the front desk.“Is she really Director Hart’s genuine girlfriend? Have you guys seen how warm and respectful Mr. Clark was toward her just now? Tsk. At least Miss Stark has a good temperament and personality.”“So what? She is still a divorced woman. I still think that she is not worthy of Director Hart.”“Forget about it. If she isn’t worthy, do you actually think you are worthier than her? It’s not for us to decide. In the end, let’s see what Director Hart has to say. No matter who he likes, we have no right to judge him. I heard from a friend working in Stark Group that President Hart personally delivered a bowl of soup to the Stark Group for her yesterday. Doesn’t that mean even his parents have confirmed Miss Stark’s identity as someone next to him?”For a moment, everyone kept on discussing Myra.Naturall
Ivy Jameson suddenly found the scene difficult to bear. I was handling some subsequent work in the United States before rushing back. How could so many things happen without my knowledge within such a short time? Tony was staring at her with an increasingly annoyed look and she walked to his front while extending her hand.There was a bag in her hand and it had a logo of a pharmacy printed on it.“I noticed that you seemed to be having some gastric discomfort during the meeting today. It so happened that I was passing by a pharmacy and I bought some medicine for gastritis,” she sounded concerned. It seemed like she only had eyes for him while completely ignoring the woman standing behind him.Myra was astounded, but she did not stop what she was doing. Instead, she merely regarded the woman in front of her in silence.Almost everybody knows that there are no female assistants on Tony’s office floor. However, this woman looks like an elite staff member. I heard her saying that she noti
vy’s expression soured slightly and she bit on her lower lip with force. Then, she turned to leave Leo’s office without replying to him.Leo, who was left behind, stared in helplessness and full of heartache.In Tony’s office, Myra was about to clean the desk after Ivy left. She was just about to reach out for the bag when a long and prominent arm wrapped itself around her waist. Tony pulled her against him. “Are you jealous?”Tony cocked a brow at her.“No, I’m not,” Myra retorted straight away. She struggled against his embrace, but she gave up since she realized that she couldn’t release herself from his grip. However, she refused to meet his gaze.Tony chuckled in a rumbling tone while sounding seductive and alluring. Myra felt her earlobes burning; she deliberately shoved against him to hide her shyness. Then, she faced him with a stern expression. “You have many people falling for you. I would drown in my own jealousy if I were to feel jealous of everybody!” Myra was being hones
Myra was standing outside the cake shop, and she was about to extend her hand to hail a cab when somebody called out to her from behind, “Myra!”Myra paused before she turned around to look calmly at the rich-looking woman in front of her. “Mrs. Chase.”Eve was sure that Myra must have heard most of her conversation with Elsie. She felt extremely embarrassed for Myra to have heard their conversation, but she was mostly afraid. After a moment of hesitation, she forced herself to speak with Myra anyway. “Myra… I hope that you would pretend as if you haven’t heard what I discussed with Miss Foster earlier.” Currently, Myra is disgusted with the Chase Family. I am also afraid that she might expose my relationship with Elsie to Lyla and things will turn ugly if the latter causes a scene.Myra regarded Eve’s anxious expression and she suddenly felt as though she was very stupid in the past. How did I ever trust what Eve said when she’s clearly brushing me off by placating me verbally?Myra’
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
Myra and Tony left the bridal shop in low spirits after spending a whole day trying on wedding dresses, for they were unable to find one that suited Myra. As for the remaining matters, Tony had already made the arrangements. After all, no one said that a wedding could only accommodate one wedding dress.Tony had already entrusted his reliable assistant with the task of managing the procedures involved in getting the tailor-made dresses ready. He had faith that his assistant would give him satisfactory results in the end.Having settled the matter with the wedding dress, Myra pondered for a while. She felt that Tony had taken her out to try on wedding dresses for some ulterior motive. She knew that something was wrong, but she just couldn’t put her finger on it. Don’t tell me this is all part of his plan to create a situation where he could openly announce that he wants to get the wedding dress tailor-made overseas.They hadn’t given themselves much time to prepare for the wedding; Ton
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
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,
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
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
