I didn’t say it

last update Last Updated: 2024-10-03 21:11:41

Myra was quiet for a moment. Estelle had always been domineering and headstrong, but for Shawn to be the weaker party in their relationship just seemed… impossible.

All of a sudden, she asked a little cautiously, “Estelle, have you… not forgotten that person?”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Estelle’s unrecognizable voice sounded. “Myra, what are you talking about? I don’t want to be with Shawn. I don’t have anything to do with him at all, okay? If you hadn’t just mentioned that person, I would’ve completely forgotten about him. Shawn and I… I just don’t think we’re suitable for each other!”

“How are you not suitable?!” Myra exclaimed.

Estelle took a deep breath. “He’s one of the law-abiding renowned figures, and his future is bright. He… Anyway, he would never have a relationship with a measly actress like me.”

“I don’t think that’s the case.” Myra raised her eyebrows.

In the beginning, when Tony wanted to be with her, she had a lot of concerns.

    After she left, Estelle stared begrudgingly at the man in front of her, who had a faint smile on his lips. Suddenly, she gave Shawn’s waist a hard pinch. “What was she doing here? Why were you guys so close just now? If I didn’t come in, were you just going to let her adjust your tie?”Estelle’s tone was extremely unpleasant.Kris could be considered the first woman Estelle hated. Since she met Myra, she had been at odds with Kris! Not to mention, all the despicable things she did to Myra did nothing to help her reputation!Moreover, the fact that Shawn didn’t dodge her advances at the first second greatly dissatisfied her!When Shawn felt her pinch, he grimaced in pain. Raising an eyebrow, he reached out to hold Estelle’s hand. He had been hugging her, but now, he leaned against the desk and gathered her into his arms. “Jealous?”“As if! Shawn, don’t forget what I said last night. If you dare to look for another woman, I’ll definitely hang you up and cut off your—” Her behavior durin

    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

  • Standing before love    This matter is unfounded

    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

    (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

  • Standing before love    The patient should be given the most respect

    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

  • Standing before love    An intense atmosphere

    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
