Kris was exasperated as she went to get her shoe back. When she walked back out again, Tony’s car was already gone.She stomped her foot in anger but could only return to her car for the time being.Tony gave Elliot a call upon leaving the Zion Club. Once the call was answered, his brows pulled together as he asked, “Can you look into Kris’ mother, Rachel Parker’s, pregnancy?”Since Elliot had him on speaker, the other two people there also heard him. Philip chuckled, “I was wondering why you were dealing with that woman at the door. It looks like you were trying to get information.”Tony had a blank expression. He did not want to play along with Kris initially, but since she walked up to him herself, he thought of taking the chance to ask some questions. As expected, there were some problems.“From what I heard, Cameron’s current wife is pregnant with a boy. According to Cameron’s priorities and shrewdness, even if we don’t consider the gender of the baby, this pregnancy shouldn’t be
It was within Tony’s expectation that Myra would not attend Bradfort City’s Road to Success Conference that was organized by Bradfort University. In the morning, he dropped her off at the entrance of Stark Group. When he thought of the man he was going to meet soon, he suddenly pulled her back awkwardly as she was about to get out of the car. “Give me a kiss.”“Huh?” Before she had time to react, a kiss was swiftly placed on her lips. At the same time, she heard the sound of a camera shutter.Feeling bittersweet, she wanted to stay and embrace the man who was leaning over.When she saw the burning look in his eyes, she smirked and leaned forward to kiss him. “Why did you have to take a photo secretly?”“No reason. I want to keep this moment as a memory.”The pompous man returned her a serious expression and fiddled with his phone for a bit. When he looked up and saw that she was still in her seat, he asked, “Why haven’t you gone to work yet?”Feeling slightly offended by his indiffere
Tony must have felt Sean’s eyes on him. When he turned casually, he was met by a pair of somber eyes. Smirking, he said, “You left in a hurry last time so I didn’t get the chance to congratulate you, Director Chase. I heard you and Miss Fisher are getting married next month. I hope you live a long and happy life together.”Those words plunged into Sean’s heart like a sharp awl. His lips moved. “Thank you, Director Hart.”He looked away after he spoke. The lines on his cheek turned stone-cold as if he was suppressing his anger.Tony smiled faintly, but there was not a trace of warmth in his eyes.Shortly after, the conference reached its peak. Tony was the last to go up on stage after Sean was done with his turn. When he went on stage, the lively energy of the crowd almost ripped through the roof of the auditorium.The students in the audience posed many questions such as what he was like in school, problems in the early stages of entrepreneurship, and the reason he succeeded the Hart
Myra recalled Kris always being fond of that villa in Cape District.But it was a property that Cameron was hoarding—it was the most expensive and significant place to him—so he never let it go to Kris.When Cameron blurted those words out, Myra felt disgusted but also surprised, and she understood why Kris had a sour expression on her way out earlier. Nonetheless, she did not think that this was Cameron’s sudden attempt at being a loving father. Narrowing her eyes at him, she said, “Just tell me what this is about, President Stark. Even if you don’t find beating around the bush annoying, I find it quite exhausting.”This time, however, he was not displeased with her rude speech and simply gave her a resigned smile. “Look at you. I just wanted to make your journey to work every day more convenient for you. Your sister always wanted that villa, but I kept it for you. Myra, I treat you much better than I treat your sister.”“Oh.” She did not show any emotions. “Since you want to give it
Sean turned around with a cigarette burning slowly in his hand. On top of the trash can next to him, there were a few cigarette buds that had already been put out. When he heard the principal’s question, a number of complicated emotions flurried across his eyes. He stayed quiet for a long while, then took a puff of smoke before he spat, “We’ve been divorced for a while now.”The principal was taken aback. He blurted, “Why?” He only realized he was too hasty after the question came out of his mouth. Noticing that Sean did not look too good, he chuckled awkwardly and said, “I’m just a curious person. I didn’t mean to sound rude. I just remember the days when Myra pursued you. When I saw the two of you get married later on, I was happy for both of you. I didn’t think…” …they would get divorced. Was there some truth in the articles that were published in the entertainment news at the time?As the principal looked at the man before him who had a successful career and was slowly becoming mo
The person who ran over was a female university student. She had a sweet appearance and was petite. Feeling shy, she bit down on her lower lip with her clean white teeth and stole a glance at the side. A few students in the dormitory had their fists up in the air to show their support and encouragement, but it only made her feel more bashful. Clenching her hands, she looked up at Tony with a blushed face. “Mister, can I ask—”Before she finished, he took a puff of smoke and walked right past her without any emotion on his face as though he was not mindful of her at all.When the girl realized that she was blatantly ignored, she couldn’t help but look at her friends and chuckle. She turned around and watched Tony’s back as he left. A look of fascination flickered across her eyes.Tony took a puff of smoke and still had the same expression on his face.This maidenhair path led to the front gate of the school which was not too far away now.As he looked in the direction of the gate, a fe
After Myra said that, her face looked like it was about to burn from how red it was. She quickly sat upright in her seat and started the engine to depart.Meanwhile, the man who was on the receiving end of her affection glanced at a shady place in the rearview mirror and smiled with a profound look in his eyes.Sean’s car was still parked behind them.It was as if he had been possessed earlier. After getting into his car, he did not leave right away but drove to the school’s gate instead as though he was waiting for something.While he looked at the merry food stalls on the side of the street and the happy crowd of people, his eyes were out of focus for a long time.Did this place carry a lot of memories that he shared with Myra?The principal’s words kept circling around in his mind: ‘When it comes to certain people, don’t wait until they’re gone to feel regret. Myra deserves as much as you can give her. If another turning point comes around, you should hold on tight to it.’Do I sti
“Trying to hit on Myra?” Sean felt pain shooting up from his abdomen but couldn’t care less about it at the moment. His eyes were slightly reddened like a cornered beast’s. Looking at Tony, he sneered, “Just who is the one trying to hit on Myra here? If it wasn’t for you, Director Hart, the person accompanying her to the mall right now would be me!”“You?” Tony raised his long and slanted eyebrows slightly while flicking the ash off his cigarette. “Why don’t you tell me, Director Chase; just how many times have you ever accompanied her to the mall in the past two years? Or, should I say…” He took a drag on his cigarette, his eyes growing frosty. “How many times have you accompanied other women to the mall before?”Sean’s expression changed greatly. “This is between us as husband and wife. It is none of your business.”“Ex-husband and ex-wife.” Tony narrowed his eyes. A dark emotion flowed through his eyes as he spat out the words, “One that exists in name only.”For an instant, Sean f
