She had sent him an audio message in which she said, “Thank you for the lunch today. I love it.”For a while, there was no reply. Just as Myra thought Sebastian was ignoring her, he sent an audio message, sounding gruff as he said pointedly, “What are you thanking me for? I’m not the one who asked the kitchen to make lunch for you. You should thank Tony’s grandma for this; it has nothing to do with me whatsoever.”It was almost as if Sebastian couldn’t wait to deny all insinuations that he had anything to do with Myra’s lunchbox.Nonetheless, warmth surged through Myra as she smiled at his message, and she said nothing more after that.While she dug into her lunch, Tony was speaking to her on the phone.“I just got off the phone with Mr. Engelhard,” he said down the line. Upon hearing that, she couldn’t help the contented smile on her face as his deep and husky voice filled her ears.She took another bite of food from the lunchbox Sebastian had sent over and hummed in response before
“How dare you?” Eve seethed, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Sean had made it very evident that he was swaying toward Myra, and he disregarded his mother’s warnings along the way.She grew indignant at the thought. When she stormed into the building earlier, she hadn’t expected Myra to be so unkind and dismiss her like she was nothing. This girl is acting high and mighty now that she has the Hart Family to back her up! “You’d better watch your manners, Myra! Don’t forget that I used to be your mother-in-law!” Eve snapped angrily.“Thank you for the reminder but as my former mother-in-law, have you forgotten what you did to me at the time of the divorce?” Myra asked and there was a glint of dark amusement in her eyes as she assessed the woman.She had long since understood how despicable Eve could be, and there was no point in trying to keep up the niceties under such ugly circumstances. With that in mind, she turned around and strode toward the exit, then bit out tersely, “I’m a
Very soon, the car pulled up outside a high-end atelier.“Miss Stark, Director Hart has a couple of things to attend to but he will be here soon. He asked that you dress however you like.” Then, Leo added, “He also mentioned that he loves it no matter how you dress.”He repressed a cringe as he said this and he coughed to try to hide his embarrassment.Director Hart’s been openly affectionate these days, he mused to himself. Gone is the imposing man whose looks could freeze an entire room.Upon hearing this, Myra flushed and hummed in response, then hastily marched into the atelier. She was getting used to how blatant Tony could be.As she entered the atelier, she was enthusiastically greeted by the manager and the small team of sales assistants.They had seen her as soon as she got down from the car, and given that Tony and Sebastian had personally asked them to serve her well, they dared not leave a bad impression.The young ladies who worked in the atelier couldn’t help but look up
As though absentmindedly, Leo shifted his body as he addressed Myra, thereby blocking Gideon’s line of sight.No longer in the mood to try on the other dresses after seeing Kris in the atelier, Myra nodded and answered, “I’ll be wearing this one.”Just as Leo was about to inform her that Tony was on his way, the stormy-faced man standing off to one side broke into an icy smirk. He then walked up to them with his arm around Kris’ waist and asked, “Mr. Clark, are you not going to introduce us?”As soon as the words were out of his mouth, his eyes fell on Myra.Leo’s face was impassive when he heard this, and he was perfunctory as he addressed Gideon and Myra respectively. “This is Miss Stark, Director Hart’s fiancée; Miss Stark, this is Director Walton.”Then, he turned to look at Gideon and said stoically, “Now, if you’ll excuse us, DirectorWalton. Director Hart is on his way.”With that, Leo gave Myra a look and indicated for her to head toward the exit. However, just as they were ab
Myra looked at him speechlessly. “Of course I know. Today is your birthday, right?”Tony pursed his thin lips while a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes.She suddenly caught his right hand and lowered her head before planting a kiss on the back of his hand. “Happy Birthday, Tony!”She then raised her head and looked at the man, who was driving beside her, with sincere eyes.However, not only did Tony not drop the frown, his expression actually darkened instead and he retracted his hand without replying to her.She caught a glimpse of his expression with the corner of her eye, which put a smile on her face and made her clutch the phone in her handbag tightly.And so, Tony, who was most likely sulking, did not try to make any conversation with her throughout the journey. Although Myra tried to talk to him, he either gave her perfunctory replies or he sometimes even ignored her completely.Soon, the two of them arrived at their destination.At this moment, all sorts of luxur
As they were standing right at the entrance of Ritz Carlton, it was only natural to have countless pairs of eyes watching them at that moment.Just as Myra almost died of embarrassment, a pair of hands took her into his embrace and led her into the hall. Throughout all this, the man did not forget to glance at the crowd before them with a slight smile. “Thank you all for attending my banquet at the Ritz Carlton. I hope that all of you will enjoy yourselves tonight,” Tony announced in a calm voice, as if kissing a woman in front of the crowd was no big deal. He then chivalrously led Myra toward the center of the hall.The next instant, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.Recently, the fiancée of the Hart Family’s successor had caused quite a stir in Bradfort City and became the source of gossip and scandal, especially her entanglement with the successor of the Chase Group, Sean Chase, as well as her relationship with the man who was standing before them now. Their relationship—whi
As for Kris, she was following them from behind.When she went to the airport to pick this group of people up, she noticed that the elders of the Walton Family were displeased with her. However, they were not mean to her, but that was probably due to Gemma’s presence.It was at that moment that she knew that she had to keep a low profile to prevent the Waltons from picking on her faults.…Tony, who remembered that Myra had not eaten much that night, ordered a waiter to send them a piece of cake. It was a matcha-flavored cake, which was something that she fancied. However, much to his surprise, the taste made her feel nauseous as soon as she took a bite.When he noticed that she did not look good, Tony furrowed his brows and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Is it not to your liking? I will ask the waiter to get you something else.”“It’s fine. Maybe I took too much alcohol earlier, so it’s making my stomach uncomfortable. I’ll be fine after drinking some plain water, though.”There was a
Gemma’s action of apologizing to Myra in front of everyone eased Sebastian’s gloomy expression. Nobody can mess with the future daughter-in-law of the Hart Family!As it was not the Hart Family’s intention to drive the Walton Family into a corner, Sebastian darted a calm look at his grandson, Tony, when he heard Old Master Walton’s words. Tony raised an eyebrow and did not say anything, so Sebastian smiled and nodded. “It was merely a small conflict between the young ones. Everything will be fine once they talk things out.”When the Waltons heard that, their expressions eased a little.After the two families chatted for a while, the Hart Family left and returned to the crowd with the excuse that they had other things to attend to, leaving the Walton Family standing on the spot awkwardly.It was only when the Hart Family had left that Old Master Walton’s expression instantly fell and gloom spread across his face. To him, the Hart Family’s attitude toward them was akin to humiliating hi
