“So, I later sneaked over and stole a furtive peek, only to see Myra playing poker with Young Master Elliot, Young Master Philip, and Director Windrow. I noticed that her interactions with Young Master Elliot seemed… a touch intimate.” Lyla initially had no idea why Tony asked her to come over, but the moment she glimpsed the scene in the room, understanding instantly dawned.At that time, she was slightly puzzled. Judging from his action, it seems as though Myra offended him, and he’s taking revenge against her. But no matter what, she brought it on herself! If she hadn’t come out to mingle with those men, I wouldn’t have gotten any dirt on her, so if she wants to assign blame, she should just blame it on her failure to withstand loneliness! Admittedly, intense envy blazed within me when I saw Myra chatting and laughing with the group of men whom I could never mingle with! Plus, she has always trampled me under her foot with her identity, and even Sean married her…“Don’t be angry, S
Myra couldn’t help exclaiming in agony as a wave of piercing pain assaulted her, cold sweat beading on her cheeks. “Have you lost your mind, Sean Chase?”Sean’s eyes were pitch-black and menacing, very much like a hellhound that came out of the depths of hell, his chest heaving incessantly from fury. In the end, he snapped bitterly, “I was wondering why you aren’t taking my calls recently, and it turned out that you’re messing around with Elliot Samson! You’re truly something else!”When he received Lyla’s phone call, he was actually having a meal with a representative from another company to discuss a project, but he rushed over without giving a whit about the project after the taking call. I was initially feeling a tad turned off by such a ploy from Lyla, but I actually witnessed it with my own two eyes earlier, so how could there be a mistake?“Myra Stark, didn’t you say you love me very much? Is this your so-called love for me? Being all affectionate and intimate with another man?
After the confrontation with Sean, Myra’s good mood back when she was playing poker with the few men had vanished altogether. She was just about to ask whether he’d mind taking a taxi home, but the man standing before her suddenly circled to the passenger seat and pulled the car door open. Upon seeing that she remained motionless, Tony even arched an eyebrow in surprise. “What’s wrong?” Then, he slid right into the passenger seat.The words were on the tip of Myra’s tongue, but as she watched his successive movements, she swallowed them. Never mind, my place is indeed not far from his apartment. Hence, she bent down and slipped into the driver’s seat before promptly starting the engine and driving away.Even though it was night time, the sky outside was brightly lit. In the near distance was a huge LED screen that was playing a massive advertisement. It was an advertisement for a shampoo, and the female model was someone familiar to her—Lyla Fisher, who’d now returned in a cloud of gl
Myra clenched her fist when she recalled how her mother ventured out on searches to find her husband during her final days like a madwoman, all the while ignoring other people’s advice. Staring straight at the woman before her with a chilly gaze, Myra smirked. “You don’t need to beat around the bush. I suppose you have something to tell me since you came to me. What is it that you’re planning to do this time? Do you want me to give up my inheritance rights over Stark Group?”“Sis…” Kris stomped her foot in aggrievedness. “There must be a misunderstanding between us! Our father had me come to you, since you didn’t pick up my calls when I called you prior to this. The company is in trouble. A few of the shareholders were suddenly against our father being the director. Therefore, in order to prevent the company from being taken over by outsiders, he thought of reaching out to you for help. Don’t you have twenty percent of Stark Group’s shares?”“What’s the matter? Aren’t you and your mot
“Thank you, Mr. Clark.” Eve heaved a sigh of relief while packing up the soup that she brought with her, ready to go back home. Before leaving, she smiled at him gently. “Do come visit me sometimes.”“Definitely.” Leo nodded with a subtle smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Chase.”“It’s nothing. In fact, I should be the one thanking you!” Now that Eve was satisfied, she chuckled when she saw the thermal lunch box he held. “I didn’t know you cook for yourself. You’re a fine young man.”However, Leo merely shook his head, his response seemingly indicative of something else. “I didn’t make this. Somebody else did, and she was the one who delivered this to the office. I am merely handing this to the designated recipient.”“Oh, then it must be someone’s wife who delivered this. He’s a lucky man.” Eve could smell the rich aroma of the soup despite the relatively short time they spent conversing with each other.On the other hand, Leo wore a knowing smile while replying, “Yeah. He sure is a lucky man.”
After Lyla knocked on the door, Tony’s deep and sexy voice came through. “Come in.”When she opened the door to enter his office, she knew he was smoking despite the fact that he had his back to her, as she could see the smoke rising from behind the chair. Even though she didn’t get to see his face, she could sense his regal and majestic air.It’s a pity that he doesn’t belong to me, she mused. “You sure hired a lot of spies to work for you. I am impressed.” Lyla let out a chuckle after she spoke. Ever since they became allies, she had been getting increasingly unscrupulous.Meanwhile, Tony narrowed his eyes while informing her in an aloof manner, “There are a stack of photos on the table that I suppose will be of use to you.”Despite her slight surprise, Lyla smiled when she recalled the phone call she received at Zion Club that provided her with the information. “I wonder what your terms are, Mr. Hart. I am still worried that I might not be able to repay you.”Even though that was w
“I’ll be busy, so I won’t be joining you.” With that, Myra gave Estelle a wink before turning to leave.On the other hand, Estelle gaped at her as she left, so much so that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. No longer able to suppress her anger, she let out a howl. “Myra Stark, you rascal! What did Shawn promise you? Let go of me, you b*stard! I’ll break both of your legs if you dare touch me—Um—” Her voice was muffled out, and things soon heated up.Myra paused before smiling out of relief. It’s time someone teach her a lesson. From what she could see, Shawn’s feelings toward Estelle were genuine, so she was certain Shawn would treasure Estelle.Myra arrived at the cafeteria on time, but Lyla was nowhere to be found. She wasn’t in a hurry, so she ordered a glass of lemonade after taking a seat. After some thought, she ordered another glass. While sipping on her drink, she glanced at the bustling street view outside. The sun had set rather early. As darkness descended, the s
What are you doing?” Before Myra could react, and just when Lyla was about to kneel on the ground, a cheerless voice came through. While Myra froze, Lyla was smiling when nobody could see her. After that, the two of them turned around to cast their glances in the direction of the voice, only to see Sean marching toward them with a grim look on his face while holding onto his phone. With the silent cafeteria as a backdrop, the ceiling lights that shone on him seemed to make him glow. However, it didn’t soften his gaze as he stared at Myra with a steely look.“Sean, I’m alright. Didn’t I tell you I’m having a drink with Myra? I can solve this on my own, so don’t—” Lyla began explaining herself in a flurry of panic. When she turned to look at Myra, she inadvertently showed him the angry slap mark on her left cheek. Then, as if realizing what she had done, she tried to turn away to hide that mark, but Sean held her head in place by pinching on her chin.“Sean, I’m fine, really…” Although
