Will Myra still melt into my embrace if she learns all about this?Elliot waited for a long time; just when he thought that Tony wouldn’t say another word, the latter spoke flatly. “Spread the word.”“Okay!” Elliot immediately responded. He and the other two had been rubbing their hands in anticipation and could hardly wait to go all out!The cell phone in Tony’s pocket vibrated again. This time, however, Tony didn’t hang up the phone.Meanwhile, Myra took a taxi home.She would be lying if she said she wasn’t upset, for this was the first time the man had turned down her request so bluntly. Before she realized it, she had grown used to turning to Tony for help—doing so had become a matter of course. However, such a thought made Myra’s heart shudder. Only then did she realize what made her upset wasn’t that she was hurt by both Sean and Lyla, but that Tony had refused to help her!Such a realization caused her heart to race inexplicably. An unknown feeling lingered in her heart, but s
“What’s the matter?” Tony asked impassively.Elliot gloated at once. “What else do you think? Old Master Hart nearly spat blood in anger after you and Myra’s public display of affection at Wilson Golf Club.”“Well, he can pretend that he didn’t see me then.” Tony leisurely leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. Won’t I be yelled at if I call him back? Since they’re so desperate for a granddaughter-in-law, I’ll bring one back.Meanwhile, Sean took Lyla and Eve back to the Chase Residence after the incident at Chase Group. Eve didn’t agree to go home at first, but she had to keep her temper after watching the video Sean showed her.Honestly, she didn’t quite believe that Myra would do something unfair to them, but what Myra did in the video forced her to be suspicious. Do I… really not understand Myra at all?Sean had asked Lyla to go downstairs for the time being, leaving only him and Eve in the bedroom at this moment.Looking as though she had grown ten years older in an instant
Sebastian had been squatting around since mid-afternoon as he was afraid that he would miss out on the opportunity to bump into Myra otherwise. Since he had even forced himself to skip dinner just to stay around, he felt his tummy rumbling. As he watched the hour hand of his watch turn toward 9.00PM, he started to feel rather displeased. Hmph, she’s a woman who stays out late at night! Terrible! Right as he was mumbling to himself under his breath, he heard the ding of the elevator. His eyes immediately lit up without him realizing it himself.Myra felt completely exhausted as she dragged her body out of the elevator. She was startled when she saw Sebastian standing right in front of her. The building she stayed in had extremely high security; the management wouldn’t usually allow for strangers to enter as they pleased. But this man… Myra felt her entire body tensing up. Isn’t he Tony’s grandfather, Old Master Hart? I saw him once during his birthday feast on the luxurious yacht. What
Myra didn’t know whether to laugh or cry right then. She couldn’t seem to figure out the reason Sebastian came over to visit—it made her nervous at the start, but she eventually calmed herself down. Perhaps he misunderstood the situation and came over to thank me. I really didn’t leak any confidential information to Hart Group, so Old Master Hart’s abrupt actions made me very helpless.After she sent the old man off, she returned to her unit. Myra’s phone on the couch lit up with a new notification, informing her about the new friend request on her Messenger app. She had no choice but to tap on the ‘accept’ button, and her new friend quickly sent her a message.‘I’ll consider you as having passed the test since you made pretty decent noodles.’ I’m considered to have passed the test… What is he talking about? His text only left Myra more frustrated than ever. She simply threw her phone aside before she headed into the shower.When Eve woke up, she realized that Sean had already left to
Once he returned to his own condominium, Tony took a shower before he lazed around and pulled his phone out. This was the first time he had ever fiddled with the Messenger application on his phone; he never had the time or interest to do such things in the past. However, after he heard the single, simple word in Myra’s voice note to him, he felt as if his heart was immediately soothed by her presence around him.It was almost a compulsion for him to lie on his bed and play the same voice note continuously. “Okay,” said Myra’s voice note. He pressed to play it again. “Okay.” Again. “Okay.” He was about to play it another time when his phone started to ring. Naturally, Tony answered the call immediately.“Are you actually using your phone, Tony? How did you pick up your call so quickly?” Elliot sounded flattered on the other end of the line. Tony’s response wasn’t pleasant as the voice that came from his phone wasn’t the one that he longed to listen to. “Spit it out. What is it?”“It’s
As he massaged his temples, Sean could feel a splitting headache coming on. Besides, the current situation in the company was a huge mess. “I might be remanded in custody for a few days because of the incident that happened two years ago during the restoration work on Marina Bay Bridge. There were a few deaths that happened then,” he muttered.“Seriously, what’s going on?!” Eve yelled out as she felt her head spinning. At the sight of her losing her balance, Sean and Lyla clambered to her side immediately. They busied themselves putting pressure in between her eyebrows and slowly patting her on the back until she regained her composure. All through the process, Sean seemed troubled.“Mom, there’s no need to worry! I’ll only be in custody for a couple of days, then Richard will get me out of there in no time. It’s all just a mere formality, so you shouldn’t fret,” Sean uttered confidently.However, there was a thunderous look on his face as he never expected this incident to resurface
“Estelle!” Myra spoke through clenched teeth. “I’m still married to Sean!”“Well, it doesn’t matter! It’s just a matter of time before the divorce is finalized. Besides, I know that lately he’s been up to no good with Lyla recently. I’ve heard of how they wrongly accused you! Myra, don’t keep giving him second chances. In fact, you should have gotten a divorce ages ago! I daresay, your graciousness is just giving him a chance to take advantage of you. As we’re talking, he’s probably plotting something else behind your back! Please don’t fall prey to him once more.”“No, I won’t allow this to happen again…” Myra’s voice trailed off.“Anyway, it doesn’t matter! All I want is for you to promise that you’ll go after Tony and win his heart!” Estelle pursed her lips as she set eyes on Myra’s troubled face, and she continued, “Come on, let’s be frank here. Don’t tell me you’re not the least bit attracted to him?”After all, Tony Hart was a legend in Bradfort City; there was no need to find o
Currently, Tony seemed confused about something, and he wasn’t his usual confident, assertive self. Besides, his expression was pretty grim.Myra noticed that he had mentioned her name, which was an unusual thing for him to do. Normally, he would avoid referring to her by her name.“Why do you say so?” Myra questioned. She couldn’t control her curiosity.The sunlight shone in through the open window on Tony’s side. As such, the golden rays shone over his head and hit his face, casting shadows from certain angles. He looked quite stern with his piercing gaze and well-sculpted face that was paired with his impassive expression.Noticing that Myra had turned around to look at him, Tony raised his eyelids slightly and pursed his lips before asking, “Are you sure you don’t want to get together with me?” As for her question, he completely disregarded it.She felt her heart racing. Before she could say a word, he reached out for her and pulled her into a tight embrace. She felt comfortable a
