Elliot muttered, “You actually ordered warm fruit juice? You really are becoming increasingly fussy, Tony.”Myra felt even more ill at ease. Who would order warm drinks on a hot day? But… indeed, she could only drink something warm because she was having her period these days. She wondered if Tony ordered warm drinks by sheer coincidence or because of something else.She glanced back at Tony, who—as it happened—was looking at her as well. There seemed to be an emotion in his eyes that slowly permeated the private room, giving her a momentary impression that he was wearing a tender expression.Tender? Myra was stunned, but Tony had ireassumed his usual stony face when she looked at him again. He asked flatly, “Why are you looking at me, Miss Stark?”Upon hearing his words, Myra was startled for a moment. Then, seeing that everyone was looking at her, she instantly went red in the face. She wanted to say that he was looking at her as well, but saying so would sound too suggestive, so sh
Tony took a deep puff of his cigarette. “Why do you think I’m grabbing you?”He could no longer stop the flame of desire within him from leaping up after watching Myra drink the fruit juice from his glass just now. Seeing how pretty she looked with the water splashed onto her face, he recalled how he had been luring her toward him step by step these days, only to be met with merciless refusals. All of a sudden, he couldn’t stop himself from wanting to press her against his chest, to which he actually did.Myra was slim, but her figure seemed to be tailor-made for him; he felt an incredible sense of perfection while taking her into his arms. This made him unable to refrain from tightening his arms around her, but he couldn’t stop himself from feeling peeved as he pressed the woman in his arms to his chest with all his might. He had never seen such a woman who had no idea what was good for her. If she were someone else, he would have turned around long ago without giving her another gla
Myra found herself breathing heavily; her debating skills were nothing in comparison to the man who stood before her eyes. “Even if I do like you a little bit, it still wouldn’t be enough. Whatever feelings you have for me aren’t enough, and it’s not enough to make me want to be your woman!” She couldn’t stop herself from barking at the man in front of her.“Not enough?” Tony pulled her closer toward his chest and forced her to stare into his eyes right then. “Did you think I only had three companies to choose from for the Sunny Bay Project? I only wanted to reduce the stress and pressure placed on you; why else would I have put in so much effort just to reject all of the designers who were better than you?When you were bullied by Elsie, why didn’t I just allow her to be the representative for communications between Chase Group and Hart Group? Why do you think I asked for you and cleared up all the false accusations made about you? Couldn’t you tell what Sasha was trying to do with m
Tony’s going to use nearly ten billion just to chase a girl! “That woman is asking for quite a bit! Let me meet her personally. I’d like to see if she’s actually worth that ten billion!” Sebastian took his coat hanging on the back of his chair and attempted to step out of the door, but his grandson stopped right in front of him to block his way. The old man couldn’t stop himself from scolding Tony again. “You b*stard! Why are you still standing here?! Hurry up and get rid of that woman! You’ll never be able to afford a woman like her even if she gets married and becomes part of the Hart Family!”“Whether or not I can afford her is my business,” Tony uttered in a calm tone. “I need the money that’s in Switzerland. You just need to remember to cash it out in time, old man.” Tony gave the old man an intense gaze.“You… Ouch!” Sebastian clutched onto his chest and cried out in pain. He had held himself back ever since Lisa told him not to lecture his grandchildren so frequently, but now,
The worker hadn’t met Eve in the past and didn’t know who she was. After jumping in response to Eve’s loud shouts, the worker simply flashed Eve an awkward smile before he turned around and left. Eve hurriedly gave Myra a phone call, but Myra didn’t pick her phone up. It really seems as though they might be getting a divorce! Eve’s face fell pale as she walked over to the pantry before making an international call to speak to her own son.“What is going on, Sean? Didn’t I tell you to coax Myra into coming back? What have you done to her? She’s even resigning from Chase Group now!” Eve’s voice was filled with worry, but Sean’s response was calm and flat. “Myra and I have decided to get a divorce, Mom.”“What?! Are you crazy?!” Eve was completely shocked. “A divorce?! Are you crazy, Sean? How dare you get a divorce from Myra! Y-You’re mad! Hurry up and get back home now!” she cried.“I’m in New York, Mom. I can’t leave for now. Anyway, I’m taking this divorce very seriously; I’ve been t
The three brothers in the Hart Family were about the same height, and they looked quite identical to one another. Right then, Shawn’s solid eight-pack abs were fully exposed as all he had on was his pants. If he tugged his pants a little lower, his Apollo’s belt would be clearly visible! His figure made him appear lean whenever he wore clothes, but his muscles were revealed the moment he took his clothes off.He was God’s masterpiece. That perfect figure, his gorgeous features and his slight smirk—Estelle had to admit that she felt her heart racing when she saw him first thing in the morning. Of course, she only felt slightly mesmerized by him. The moment he said something along the lines of ‘I’m hungry; make me some food,’ Estelle would lose all feelings for him immediately! She thought about goingi against his orders, yet she found herself tearing up on the inside when she exchanged gazes with Shawn’s calm, cold glare. After that, she made countless attempts to suppress him without

All of the men turned their heads toward her when they saw her, and Myra instantly realized that she had made a bad decision when she saw the look in the men’s eyes. Running away was no longer an option to her right then; the moment her footsteps came to a halt, four or five big-sized men ran toward her and crowded behind her as they forced Myra to continue moving forward. She saw Tilly a distance away from her—the young girl was being pushed toward her by another man. Tilly immediately let out a loud cry the moment she saw Myra. “Miss Stark… I’m so afraid…” After all, she was just a young girl who hadn’t even graduated from university yet; she had never expected herself to encounter such an incident. Myra was just as afraid right then, but she had no choice except to put on a calm front as she walked over and held onto Tilly’s hand. Myra then turned to look at the leader of the group of men. “Where’s David? Why haven’t I seen him anywhere at all?” David was another foreman Myra had o
The tea house had a good sound insulation effect as the roaring sound of the machinery not far from here could not be heard. Sitting in the tea house made them feel as though they were in another space, isolating them from the noise out there.The aroma of the tea wafted around the room, which teased Matthias’ olfactory. He knew that Heather was a person who liked to enjoy life and he thought that it wouldn’t be boring in the future when he was together with her. While he was deep in thought, anticipating his future with her, she remained quiet as she flipped through the documents.At this moment, he remembered some of his old memories. They had once sat by the lakeside while enjoying the breeze and at that time, he would secretly peek at her. It was something that even Myra had taken notice of—when he was with her, he would feel comfortable, but if Heather was there together with them, he would feel nervous.Although it was a memory from some time ago, he could still recall his nervo
On the phone, Matthias did not feel a sense of displeasure from Heather, and both of them tacitly remained silent about what happened yesterday. It was a brand new day and a new beginning; yesterday had already passed. He had improved a lot in dealing with relationships.“What is your decision about the date, Miss Langston?” Since she did not reject him at once, she would very likely agree to his offer. Therefore, he certainly should take advantage of this situation to persuade until she nodded.“Well, I’m afraid that Director Locke is doing this for his private reasons under the disguise of business matters,” replied Heather in a teasing manner. This was not the first time he had done such a thing and it used to happen very often. Therefore, in her eyes, he was like a person with previous convictions.Upon hearing her words, he smiled while looking resigned, as he was unable to continue with what she said. By using the name of official business matters for his private interests, he h
Once one opened up the soft spot of their heart, a lot of stories would unfold accordingly. Besides, some new changes would also lead to a big difference in a person. Matthias’ words were still circling around her ears but as she was hearing his voice, she gradually started to feel sleepy. Even if it was just himself, he could also talk eloquently.After a long moment, Matthias did not get any response from Heather so he asked, “Heather, are you listening?”She had fallen asleep while she was breathing steadily, and her phone was also slid to the side. She did not respond to him at all and it was as though Matthias was talking to the air.Right at this moment, he wondered if he had upset her again to get such a consequence, so he hurriedly reflected on himself.“Heather, have I said something to irritate you? Are you angry with me right now?” This is all he could think of at the moment. Well, he wouldn’t have thought that Heather had actually fallen asleep, because this was the first
As Heather moved away from Robert’s shoulders, she looked at him with a sense of confusion. Truth was, she understood the profound meaning behind his words but it was just that she dared not delve deeper into it.And so, she took the initiative and avoided discussing it further as she murmured, “Grandpa, let’s not talk about this matter anymore.” When she was young, she would wonder about the reason why she could not get the rights of inheritance with her strong capabilities. However, as of now, she no longer cared about it anymore.“So tell me—where have you been today?” Robert asked unreservedly. Heather left in such a hurry that she did not even have the time to put on her makeup, so there must be something strange and subtle behind her actions.“I went to find Leon.” As she spoke, she tried her best to conceal some parts that should not be told.Upon hearing her answer, he stared at her with a puzzled look. She was in such a hurry just to find Leon. She clearly said that she has n
It was a heavy downpour out there. Heather, who had no makeup on, was sitting opposite Matthias. It stirred something within him that he wanted to capture and keep this beautiful moment to himself. A shutter sound could be heard and he took a photograph of her while she was drinking her coffee. However, she lifted her head the next second and snatched his phone away from him.He felt a little frustrated that he had forgotten to turn off the shutter sound, and now Heather had deleted the photo without a second thought. She then glanced at him coldly, her expression unkind. “Don’t simply take photos of me.” To Heather, she was looking like a mess now, so how could she let anybody photograph her in such a state? She fixed her fierce gaze at him, as though he had done something unforgivable.“You look too pretty so I couldn’t help it,” Matthias replied with utmost sincerity. Heather’s aura seemed weaker than usual when she did not put on any makeup, and she looked more adorable now when s
After exiting Violeast Hotel, Matthias stormed into the rain. As he was too focused on finding Heather, he forgot to bring an umbrella. Given how on edge he was right now, he couldn’t feel a thing despite the cold raindrops falling upon his skin.“Please be safe, Heather,” he mumbled repetitively.“Achoo!” Heather, who was driving, sneezed before grabbing a sheet of paper towel to rub her nose. Am I coming down with a cold?Although the weather had been freezing since early in the morning, Heather didn’t feel at all chilly, as her mind was completely focused on the issue at hand. Thus, she merely wore thin layers of clothes when she left home. Moreover, the heater in the car was able to keep her warm but sooner or later, she would have to exit her car and feel the wrath of the cruel storm.Staring out through the windshield, she had no idea where to go, though her mood had certainly gotten better after wandering around. When she remembered that her phone was turned off, she quickly sw
Before Matthias’ arrival, Leon connected his laptop to the satellite and found out Heather’s whereabouts. It had been a long while yet she was still on the roads, reluctant to head home.Accordingly, Leon attempted to call her, only to find out that she had turned her phone off. No wonder! He revealed a helpless grin as he mused, She’s so persistent!Looks like his actions had hurt her. Since he was unable to support his friend into doing the wrong things, he could only think of righting her wrongs.Even now, Leon was trying to prove that point with his actions—baiting Matthias to see how concerned he was about Heather.If Matthias chose to be smart and strategic in this case, that would prove he hadn’t fallen deep enough for her. Back when Leon was all in for Heather, the Langstons used her as bait to lure him home. Although he considered himself sharp-witted, he didn’t contemplate too much back then and eventually fell for such ridiculous excuses. Perhaps he was blinded by love!Now
Skeptical about Heather’s words, Leon stared at her suspiciously while giving her a mischievous grin, feeling happy to see her in the hotel.“Did you sleep well?” Heather changed the topic because she thought it was a hassle to attempt to clear his doubts.Leon looked out of the window with his eyes squinted, and the dark circles under his eyes became more apparent. Truth was, Heather had already noticed this but she deliberately quizzed him despite knowing his restlessness. Seeing him so fatigued, she continued to mock him, “Seems like you didn’t get enough sleep yesterday. Serves you right for being so stubborn about changing rooms.”Much to her surprise, Leon remained silent. After a while, he blurted discontentedly, “You came to persuade me to delay the opening.” He didn’t wish to delay the launch of their company and he thought that Heather was being impulsive.“You’re in over your head. I’ve already made that decision, so there’s no need to persuade you.” Being the lone wolf she
The air was tense as Tony would never have expected Heather to bring forth such a matter. At the very least, it wasn’t one for them to deal with privately.Since it involved two families, he couldn’t make decisions on his own. However, Heather wasn’t one to be irrational either, so what on earth made her do such a thing?“So this is the work you wished to speak to me about?” Since the relationship between Langstons and the Hart family had been hostile for the longest time, it would only continue that way. Knowing that, Tony couldn’t see the discussion going anywhere.Disappointed, Heather frowned at Tony as his attitude made it apparent that the Hart family had no intention to reconcile with the Langstons, and the grudges they held against each other would not dissolve merely because of the Moriartys’ interference.“I’ve heard that the Moriartys have been working with the Locke Group in secret. Given how long they have hidden in the dark, there’s no way the Langston family is their so
