It was only when Lyla was left alone in the room that she slumped into the couch, as if she had lost all her strength.All she could say was that she was truly tempted by Tony’s words.Indeed, she had the intention to marry into the Hart Family, but she was also well aware that without this man’s protection, it would be a fantasy to be able to even cast a glance at the entrance of the Hart Residence, let alone entering the house.She was no longer young and she would be old in a few more years. By then, she would lose her beauty that she had been using to capture men’s heart. Besides, there was also the man in the United States. If she couldn’t rely on Sean, how was she going to guarantee her own safety?Sean’s eyes were filled with hatred when he looked at me today. Yet, I have a feeling that he still loves me deep in his heart. Otherwise, why has there been so much news about his relationships and affairs in the past two years? And all the women from the news look so similar to me.
As the dearest younger sister of the successor of the Langley family and a popular celebrity, Estelle had always been high-profile and fearless.Myra’s weariness was greatly relieved the moment she saw Estelle, and she walked up to her, wearing a faint smile. “Hey, you’re actually covering up yourself today. I thought you usually desire to be recognized by everyone.”Estelle’s back was facing the door but she knew Myra was here after hearing her voice, so she turned around at once to glare at Myra. Thereafter, she remembered that she was wearing a pair of sunglasses and Myra wouldn’t be able to see her expression, and so she took off her sunglasses and gave her another glare. “Cut it! What on earth is going on? Sean was a bundle of nerves when he called me today, saying that you’ve moved out?”“Mm-hmm.” Myra looked unaffected as she summoned a waiter and ordered a glass of lemon juice for each of them. Then, she lifted her head to meet her friend’s gaze and smiled. “What? You always w
Sean glared coldly at that man, which then scared the man stiff. The next second, Sean had already left the bar with the unconscious woman in his arms.Hurling her into the passenger seat, Sean regretted a little for coming over recklessly. Standing by the car door, he stared fixedly at the woman in front of him for quite a while before he pulled himself together and got into the driver’s seat reluctantly.After the car had left, the door of a cafe next to the pub was pushed open, thereafter Myra’s pale face appeared.It’s indeed Sean. I’ve not seen it wrongly from inside just now.Myra had stayed at the cafe after convincing Estelle to leave. Sure enough, she ended up seeing Sean coming out from the bar while carrying Lyla in an intimate manner. Furthermore, she had not missed how Sean had stared at that woman in the car just now.Indeed, I should quit this relationship, isn’t it?Myra was gripping the cafe’s door frame so hard that her knuckles turned white.After arriving at Fairhi
“You have no idea how vicious Myra is. She even approached me at that time and warned me to stay away from you!” A dark glimmer flashed in Lyla’s eyes as she wept with her head lowered. “Even if I was in the wrong, she still had no right to take away my child so ruthlessly…” By the end of her sentence, she was crying even more dramatically.Just then, emotions were violently raging within Sean! Knowing he shouldn’t listen anymore, he closed his eyes and said, “Lyla, did you think I would miss you after you left and that I would still treat you well when you come back? Did you think saying a few words to me would make me give in, and we would carry on as before?”“Why not?” She looked up, as if she was going to laugh. But in the end, she couldn’t stop the tears that were flowing down her cheeks. “Sean, I have always loved you deeply. There was never a moment where I have forgotten about you, and I refuse to believe that you have. The fact that you still came to the bar for me says it a
Doing the math, it was about time for the launch. Only, the situation in that area wasn’t so great. “David, please help me appease and calm everyone. Chase Group will not owe the employees a single penny.” Myra knew that if the foreman came to ask about this matter himself, then probably all the workers on the construction site were already on edge. She had to calm them down. “The Sunny Bay Project was approved by Hart Group. They will certainly not owe the workers money.” It was only then did David breathe a sigh of relief and smiled. “We feel more relieved with Miss Stark’s reassurance. By the way, Director Hart also came to the site today—” “Watch out!” Suddenly, a scream cut through the buzzing construction site, interrupting David. Myra only felt as if there was something with a great momentum plunging down, the aim of which was her head. At that moment, her body went rigid and she couldn’t react. Out of nowhere, she was pulled into a warm embrace that had a faint tobacc
“Director Hart…” Myra called out in a hoarse voice.Tony looked up at her blankly. Then, he lowered his gaze and continued to bandage the wound.“Myra, there’s no need to thank me. This construction site belongs to Hart Group. Even if it wasn’t you who was in danger, I would not have let anyone get hurt on my construction site.”It was as if he was reminding her of the fact that she had asked him to keep a distance from her the other night.Myra was stunned but before she came back to her senses, Tony had already finished bandaging his wound.He stood up and threw his suit aside, revealing his white shirt underneath. His cuffs were folded and his dark blue tie was meticulously straight. Tony’s facial features were like God’s finest work and his cheekbones were sharp. It was a sunny day, but he exuded a cold aura. Even if he was at a construction site with a helmet on, it couldn’t hide his handsomeness and freshness.“Leo, do I have anything else scheduled for today?” Tony asked Leo, w
The last point was to help everyone understand Tony’s injury better. However, the fact that Tony went to the construction site for no reason and saved Miss Stark from being hit by a brick was intriguing news.Everyone naturally knew who Miss Stark was.Lucas chuckled, “Wow, Tony, you are a hero!”Leo instantly felt a cold glare from Tony and knew that he had said too much. However, his mission was already complete so he hurriedly shut his mouth and left the room.Meanwhile, Philip grabbed the first aid kit he always kept in his bag and walked up to Tony.“Tony, if this wound is not treated well, it will cause inflammation and it will be troublesome.”Tony casually pulled a chair and sat down. Then, he squinted and said placidly, “Don’t worry about it.”Hearing this, Philip was taken aback. Does that mean we’ll deal with his wound later?Soon, the four of them sat around the table and an exquisite dinner was served.“Tony, the three of us discussed the Hilliview project today,” Lucas s
No one bothered about Elliot anymore, for Philip had already opened the private room door, and the woman standing outside was indeed Myra. She was still wearing an OL outfit from Chanel, the contrast of the light gray fabric against her fair skin giving her a gentle and comfortable feeling. Her long hair was tied back, baring her slender and delicate neck, while there was faint makeup on her exquisite face. It was just right, neither too plain nor too outstanding.Upon seeing Philip, she was stunned for a moment before she murmured in mild embarrassment, “I’m sorry. I think I got the wrong room.”Just when she was about to turn around, Philip chuckled lightly. “You must be Miss Stark, yes? Director Hart is indeed in this room, so do come in.”Myra halted, finally remembering that she’d once seen the man in front of her. That time, he gave me a hand during the Hart Family’s banquet. Thus, she looked over his shoulder into the room. Smoke lingered in the room, but it didn’t obstruct her
