“She’s the young lady of the Stark Family. Didn’t Tony tell you, Gemma?” Sebastian looked at Gemma in surprise to salvage what was left of Myra’s approval of him. Then, he shot Tony a disgruntled look. “And you—why are you keeping such a low profile when you are in a relationship?”“I’m worried that somebody might snatch her away,” Tony answered calmly despite Sebastian’s rhetorical question.Everybody was astounded when they heard that, but they broke into knowing grins right away.The only time Tony acts like a normal man is when we talk about Myra in front of her. Thereafter, they turned to Gemma in unison, their gazes holding traces of pity.Tony tightened his arm around Myra’s waist when he said that and he completely ignored Gemma who was standing in front of him. Then, he led Myra to their seats.Gemma’s expression soured slightly.Based on her usual temper, she would have marched right up to Myra and given her a slap while demanding for her to leave. However, this was the Hart
Gemma gritted her teeth viciously when she saw the tacit understanding between the whole family.I did not expect the Hart Family to like that woman so much. It’s not just Serena and her child! That woman even has Old Master Hart and Old Madam Hart wrapped around her finger.I, on the other hand, feel like a total outsider! Before Tony arrived home, everybody treated me courteously but they were mostly just going through the motions. However, once that woman arrived with Tony, no one seemed even bothered to pretend anymore. I even noticed that Serena gave me a cold look earlier!Gemma had never been treated in such a way in her life.“Old Master Hart, do you remember the incident that happened in the United States three years ago when you were there? Tony was so busy that he forgot to pick you up and I was the one who found you at the airport. My parents and grandparents blamed me for not taking good care of you, Old Master Hart. If you and Old Madam Hart were to visit the States agai
Unfortunately, that woman was not her!Gemma shifted her gaze to the woman beside Tony. Stark Group was not well-known, or at least, she had never heard of them before. Her family probably isn’t as great as ours. On top of that, even though she has an acceptable look and figure, there are tons of women out there who have better looks and figures than her! What right does she have to stand next to Tony? A darkness flickered across her eyes.Myra and Tony quickly took their seats. He did not give her a hard time at this dinner which made her feel relieved. However, it wasn’t easy to dismiss Gemma who was sitting across from her.“Tony, this claypot eggplant dish is delicious. Have a taste. This sea bass is also very tender. I know you don’t like fish skin, so I removed it. Try it, Tony. Oh, and this soup. I tried it earlier and it’s really fresh. I’ll get a bowl for you.”From the moment Tony sat down, Gemma eagerly piled food on the small plate in front of him until it formed a mound,
Tony raised his eyebrows. He kissed her on the lips then proceeded to pull off his necktie. “Does seeing her make you unhappy? We can just ask Curtis to take her back.”Curtis was the Hart Family’s personal driver.Tony did not have much patience on minor matters. Watching him yank his necktie off, Myra stepped in and helped him untie it. “Old Master Hart already said she could stay.” It wouldn’t be appropriate if they asked Gemma to leave now.“Then we’ll leave.” He squeezed her hand as she was loosening his necktie and kissed her on the forehead. “We’ll go home if you don’t want to see her. Old Master Hart and Old Madam Hart won’t mind.”There was no limit to how much he spoiled her.She felt touched by his words. Puffing her cheeks out, she shook her head and said, “Forget it. It’s just for one night. She won’t stay here permanently.”He let go of her hand to let her finish loosening his necktie. “Don’t mind her. When Old Master Hart went to the United States, the Walton Family wer
“When would men find the time to tend to these things? Nevertheless, they will start to care sooner or later.” Gemma stared straight into Myra’s eyes. “To be honest, I’m quite surprised. If I were you, after getting abandoned, I would have hidden at home and not made a spectacle of myself. But, not only did you start working like nothing happened, you were even shameless enough to seduce Tony. Miss Stark, you are by far the most thick-skinned woman I have ever met.”“Likewise.” Myra was indifferent.Because Gemma was not getting a reaction from Myra, she was slowly losing her temper.She was always the jewel of the family and had never suffered through any hardships before. Today, however, she was losing to a woman she did not believe was better than her in any aspect. The most aggravating part of it all was that she was a divorced woman, but Tony was cherishing her like a prized possession.“Myra, don’t embarrass yourself and don’t decline my offer. There will come a day when you wil
“Tony, you will regret this one day! You will definitely regret this!” Gemma pounded on the door. When no one responded to her, she left the Hart Residence in a rage.She thought she would get to stay at the Hart Residence today, but she was kicked out so miserably. Despite feeling resentful, she did not have a choice. A moment ago, Sebastian and Serena clearly saw the way Tony treated her, but they stayed silent.She’s better than I thought. She managed to buy over all the people in the Hart Family. How on earth did she do it? Gemma looked at the main gate of the Hart Residence one last time. I will rightfully live here one day, and I will kick that wench out of Bradfort City once and for all!…Once Tony went back inside, Myra had also just retrieved the bag of things.The other presents had been claimed and only this bag was left by the side of the couch in the living room.When she saw it, her face turned bright red. She also gave Tony a look when she saw him before heading up the
Kris came to know about the will from Lyla, except she heard a different story from what she eavesdropped!“Dad, I didn’t think Myra would be a threat to us, so I didn’t take it seriously, but she came on so strong this time. She casually exposed our plan to kick her out last time. Not to mention, she even made you punish us severely! Dad, I don’t know how true Tony’s feelings are for her, but for as long as they are together, he will help her! Ever since she entered the Stark Group, everything has gone smoothly for her. She’s even doing an impressive job in her position as general manager while we got defeated again! Can’t you see it? She wants to get me and mom away from you, then go after you when you’re alone!”Kris spoke extensively in one breath, but if it had to do with Myra’s ambition, she did not mind instilling it in his mind once more.Almost everyone knew Myra’s goal in returning to the Stark Group, including Cameron.He let her back in at the time for the assets she held,
Tony was teasing, but it left Myra baffled.The thought never occurred to her.She was just unhappy; unhappy that Cameron, Kris, and Rachel were slowly pushing her to the edge after she entered the Stark Group.But Tony knew about the will. In the end, the Stark Group would belong to Myra, and he was going to help her secure it. That was his deal with Conan.Pondering on it, Myra tapped her fingers in his hand then shook her head. “I don’t know.”She did not like doing business. The only reason she worked in Chase Group in the past was to help Sean. After that, she returned to work in Stark Group to claim back what originally belonged to her mother.Personally, she did not enjoy getting involved in complicated matters. Once she got what she wanted, she really did not know what she would do. With her personality, she just wanted an easy-going job to help kill time. If she had to continue working in Stark Group and face the people she disliked, her life would become futile.Seeing the d
