Myra’s wrist still bore the injuries from the handcuffs the night before. When he held her hand in that moment, she only felt immense pain. With a furious look on her face, she asked, “What the hell are you doing?”Sean did not miss the pain on her face earlier. He lowered his head and saw the injuries on her wrist. Then, his expression immediately changed “What’s this?”It was not just the hand he was holding; her other hand also had similar blue-black bruises on her wrist.“This is none of your business!” Myra forcefully withdrew her hand from Sean’s grip as she withstood the pain.Sean was hesitant. When I went over to her place for a meal, she didn’t have any injuries. After a night… His face suddenly darkened. “Is this because last night, you were brought to…”His sentence trailed off as he closed his mouth with a conflicted expression in his eyes.After being framed by them last night, Myra felt resentful. Even if we can’t be husband and wife, he doesn’t have to frame me with su
So, he’s just asking me to keep it a secret. Lyla’s heart tightened before she heaved a long sigh. “Don’t worry. Even if Director Hart doesn’t tell me this, it will only remain a secret between both of us.”How stupid do I have to be to spill the beans? After all, what I want now is to marry Sean and be the future Mrs. Chase.At such an important juncture, she wanted the incident to be a secret even more than Tony.“In that case, Miss Fisher, the transaction for all the properties under Chase Group in Hilliville will be completed by Director Hart this afternoon,” Leo reported indifferently.Lyla’s heart raced. Sure enough, Director Hart did not lie to me!Her lips curled into a vindictive smile as she happily replied, “Thank you to both of you, Leo and Director Hart.”After Lyla hung up on the call, Eve had a worried expression on her face when the former walked back to them. As soon as she saw Lyla, she quickly asked, “Are there any problems? Is the important customer still buying th
Tony deliberately withdrew his hand from her and sarcastically said, “Of course not. How would I dare to be angry at you? I’m just a nobody. If you would like to hide me, that’s your right to do so.”Yet, he still claims that he’s not angry? He even emphasizes this point.Myra played around with his right hand. “I’m not trying to hide you. You are not an item, so why would I need to hide you? Oh, that sounds wrong. You are something indeed, but… Haha…”“Myra, that’s enough, yeah.”When he heard her joke and her laughter earlier, his face instantly darkened as he quickly turned and glared at her.Under the bright light in the car, there was a beaming spot in the middle of his eyes. Even though it was tiny, she could still see her small reflection in it.Then, memories suddenly flooded her mind.It started when Myra apologized to Elsie after Sean misunderstood her, she could remember the gentle look in Tony’s eyes when he came to pick her up. Then, he brought Elsie down just to let her
Today’s weather was fine, which was suitable for fishing under the sun.Sebastian could not sleep the whole night after forcing Elliot to spill the beans about Myra’s identity. He tossed and turned on the bed, but he just could not fall asleep. He was making such a fuss that Lisa was complaining. In the end, she left him alone in bed and went to the study to sleep.The next morning, Sebastian had dark circles around his eyes due to the lack of sleep.In the morning, he lost his temper a few times in the Chase Residence. It started when he whined about the housekeeper’s cooking—he claimed that the breakfast she prepared was getting worse. “I expect a bowl of noodles, but there is no beef inside. The noodles are so dry that it’s unpalatable.” Next, he complained about the hot and stuffy garden, claiming that the air quality in Bradfort City was deteriorating. In the end, he pestered Lisa and complained about his foul mood while claiming that his grandchild would not even head home to vi
“Old Master Hart, did I say something wrong? If you don’t like it, please don’t mind—”“Indeed, I do not like it.” Sebastian had a dark expression and he was no longer being polite to Sasha. It is true that I dislike the girl named Myra. However, I do not appreciate it when others start to badmouth the woman chosen by my grandson. Well, it’s just like family. It’s fine if I reprimand my family members, but others have no right to criticize them.Sasha panicked since the situation was not progressing like how she expected. “Old Master Hart, do you know that Miss Stark is already married to my cousin? She is already married to Sean, but she went ahead to seduce to—”“Who has she seduced? You claim that she is married, so why would she seduce other men?!” Sebastian interrupted without waiting for her to complete her sentence and he continued to glare at her.Sasha was dumbfounded when he fiercely glared at her and she answered him automatically, “Director Hart…”“Hmph!” Sebastian rolled
Tony’s eyes twinkled with a smile, but Myra did not notice it. He took her phone from her and he sent a message to the chat group through her account.Myra: ‘Sorry, but my weekend is for Myra. I can only return to the Hart Residence with her permission.” He closed the Messenger after sending the message. Then, he returned the cell phone to Myra.“I haven’t checked what everybody else said,” she complained when she noticed that the Messenger had been closed.Tony raised a brow at her and his eyes twinkled brightly. He kissed her forehead before meeting her gaze. “What is there to look at? It’s more than enough as long as you look at me.”Does he even realize how shameless he sounds? Myra was rendered speechless by his reaction. He held her hand as they both made their way into the restaurant.After the meal, Tony drove Myra to her condominium building. Upon arriving at her destination, Myra was about to exit the car, but she could not ignore the scorching gaze behind her. In the end, s
“For my sake?”“Of course!” Estelle was dumbfounded as she stared at the simple and dumb woman who somehow had Tony wrapped around her finger. “Didn’t you know when Tony returned to take over the Hart Group?”“Isn’t that two months ago?” Myra knew about that as well.“Well, try to recall when the Sunny Bay Project started.”Myra hesitated before answering, “It’s also two months ago.”“Well, isn’t that right?!” Estelle shook her head. “Judging by those facts, he has fallen for you during the Sunny Bay Project. After that, he decided to stay in Bradfort City and expand his business. That is why he decided to transfer his company from the United States back to here, don’t you agree?”Well, even if I don’t think Tony would make such a huge decision for a woman whom he had only known for a month, Estelle’s assumptions have melted my heart anyway.Estelle glanced at Myra before asking, “Hey! I know that you are in the infatuation period, but is it necessary to provoke me? You look drunk in
“What do you mean by ‘fine’? A man like Tony has seen all sorts of women. Do you think that you will be able to turn him on just by standing before him?” Estelle tossed the chip in her hand away and she continued in a stern manner. “Let me tell you this—you were too casual when you were with Sean. Look at all the women he has outside there—they are all tempting and bewitching! Therefore, when Tony stands in front of you, you must try to enchant him with your expressions, seduce him with your movements, and mesmerize him with your eyes… All in all, you have to make sure to gain full control of his body and heart this time!” The more she spoke, the more emotional she became. It caused Myra to blush so fiercely that even the base of her neck turned red. Lastly, she could not help but ask, “Was that how you treated Shawn before he pounced on you?” Myra’s words rendered Estelle speechless, so she glared at her. “Don’t touch that sensitive topic. I must have been blind to have my eyes on t
