Elliot swallowed because he could already imagine his tragic end.

Everybody in the Hart Group all heard a heart-wrenching and desperate wail from the director’s office today.

When Myra returned to the Chase Group, the atmosphere felt odd.

She could sense that people were discussing something, but they pretended that they were attending to their own matters when she turned to look at them.

The strange atmosphere was even more intense when she returned to the Design Department.

Tilly approached Myra to give her the thumbs-up. “Miss Stark, you are awesome!”

Myra had an idea what Tilly was referring to, but she shook her head. “Fortunately, the Hart Group is fair in these matters. Otherwise, I might not even get the project back no matter how I explain myself.”

Tilly scanned the office before whispering to Myra, “Miss Stark, you not only secured the Sunny Bay Project. Did you know that Mr. Logan from the Hart Group phoned us earlier? He pointed out blatantly while heavily hinting that the

    Myra, don’t you think it’s weird? When Elsie had an affair with Director Chase, she could have everything that she wanted in the Chase Group. Now, not only is she demoted to an assistant, I’ve even seen the director scolding and punishing her because of some tiny mistakes. Could it be that… Director Chase has found out that she tried to seduce Director Hart, so he is now punishing her out of anger and shame?”After all, most men could not accept being cuckolded.The moment Myra heard the name ‘Director Chase’ in her ears, she could not help but remember those cruel words that Sean said that day. Since she felt a pain in her heart, she said faintly, “Who knows?”She also noticed that Elsie had been recently silenced in the company, but it had nothing to do with her. I have no sympathy for this woman at all.Soon after, the Hart Group informed them that they wanted to hold a final meeting for the revision of the design drafts.This time, the meeting would be held in a hotel near the Sun

    Myra nodded her head.After that, everyone went to their room to place their luggage and wash themselves before they gathered at the designated meeting room.She had gained a lot of knowledge from today’s meeting.When her work was heavily criticized last time by the Hart Group, she had a faint feeling that they were actually venting their anger toward her design drafts, but it was still being questioned by others. That was the reason why she recently came up with a brand new design blueprint after having a new inspiration. The moment she returned to her hotel room, she could not wait to start redrawing her draft, hoping that she could finish it and hand it over to the Hart Group before the end of their business trip.After being busy for some time, she finally felt hungry, but it was already past 9:00PM.Therefore, she went to the restaurant downstairs to order something to satiate her hunger. Just as she was about to return to her room, Leo stopped her in her tracks. “Miss Stark, ar

    Just when Myra thought it would be the end of her life today, Tony suddenly released his grip on her even though she did not know why.At the moment, his face was in a shade of charcoal that looked like it was dripping ink while there was a burning flame in his eyes.When she came back to her senses, her face was already burning red. Without Tony’s support, her body suddenly softened as she almost collapsed to the floor.Then, a pair of hands reached out and grabbed her waist.After she slowly took a deep breath, she did her best to stand straight before the pair of huge hands released her waist.However, Myra did not dare to look at Tony’s face, so she gritted her teeth as she wanted to leave the place in a hurry.“Miss Stark, you better clearly think about it next time. You can’t just simply enter a bachelor’s room,” he said calmly with his back facing her. However, his voice was now husky due to his emotions, but it still sounded casual and sexy.Myra knew that Tony had misundersto

    Sasha did not conceal the emotions in her gaze at all—it was obviously burning with affection, but at the same time, it contained the subtlety of a young girl. No matter how oblivious Myra was, she could still notice Sasha’s intentions and thought, Looks like she is fond of Tony. It’s not much of a surprise. Not many women can hold themselves from a perfect man like him.There were some mixed emotions inside Myra, so she turned and smiled awkwardly. “Oh.”Then, Sasha turned her head to talk with Tony again.Myra felt bored and saw a can of coconut juice that was placed in front of her on the table. This is weird. Why is everyone on the table given a wine glass poured with red wine while I only have a can of coconut juice in front of me?Without thinking much about it, she immediately picked it up and tried to open it.However, her palms were probably sweaty because she had clenched her fists earlier, which prevented her from opening the can.It had frustrated her to the point where sw

    “Mr. Hart, what do you mean by those words?”Sasha could no longer maintain the smile on her face. No matter how good she was at concealing her emotions, she could still hear the huge disdain from Tony’s words.“It’s nothing. I’m just like you—I have never taken the bus either,” Tony answered faintly with a sense of coldness in his eyes.At that moment, she tightly clenched her fists on each side because she planned to make Tony her man tonight. Since all men are visual creatures, I thought that I had it in the bag, but instead, it backfired on me and caused me to be humiliated!Looking at the man in front of her, she was displeased. I had planned for tonight’s matter for a long time, but if I still insist on staying here…“Mr. Hart…” Her long eyelashes slightly drooped as it cast an aggrieved shadow over her face. “Mr. Hart, it seems like you’ve misunderstood me. I haven’t done anything with other men—”“That’s none of my business.” Tony interrupted before he lowered his head to glan

    At the Ritz Carlton Hotel, I will have more chances to push Myra toward Mr. Hart!Leo was imperious of the idea that he came up with as he slightly tilted his head to glance at Tony.Usually, Tony hated his subordinates for making decisions by themselves without informing him in advance. However, when he heard Leo’s announcement, his thin lips clearly revealed a smile before a look of approval flashed through his eyes.The moment Myra took her luggage out of the car and she heard Leo’s words, her eyes instinctively looked toward the man standing next to him.Tony was the tallest and most extraordinary-looking man among the crowd. At that moment, he was playing with his black phone; his cold and dashing jawline was on display and it carried a hint of laziness to it. If one were to look closely at him, there seemed to be a little hint of joy in his eyes since he was in a good mood.However, when Myra thought about what happened in the hotel and in the car, she was displeased.

I’ll come and see you later.” After that, she also left.Seeing Tilly fleeing the scene, Myra twitched her lips as she turned to face Sean, but her face had already reverted to its usual calmness. “Director Chase, is there something I can do for you?” It was the same place where they met last time and she did not forget the humiliation she endured from him, so she could not help but clench both her fists on each side.Sean’s gaze quickly swept over her eyes, but the calmness and indi

However, Leo stepped on Logan’s foot, causing him to suppress his facial expression in a hurry. After that, they both walked over to the ladies and said gently, “Miss Stark and Miss Hay, both of you must be ready, right?”Myra and Sasha nodded their heads.Upon seeing Myra, Logan’s smile seemed to have softened.

    (Final Chapter)However, before Myra could digest the incidents, a knock on the door emerged again. Zayne’s eyes lit up at once as he reckoned it was most probably Jason this time.Sure enough, Jason appeared in front of them with injuries. Leon found Jason rather unfamiliar as it was natural for one to not remember a driver’s appearance.“You’re finally here, Jason!” Heather exclaimed in surprise upon seeing him as she had waited for him for a long time.“Zayne Lee.” With a cold look, Jason walked up to Zayne and tilted his head to look at him. “Stop acting. I know you’re not injured.”Zayne stared at Jason awkwardly as he had not expected to be seen through by Jason so easily. Meanwhile, the others glanced toward Zayne in shock.“Congratulations. Your plan to lure the enemy out has succeeded. Now, I can tell you with certainty that the mastermind behind all these is Caleb Moriarty.” It was very rare for Jason to spit out such a long sentence.The others were not surprised upon heari

    Since the situation had escalated to this point, they could only fight to their death, and Matthias was prepared for the battle. Even though the opponent was one of the top killers in the world, it was not an issue at all for Matthias to protect himself. However, it would be an arduous task to protect Zayne, the patient, at the same time.Matthias decided to be the vanguard and asked Leon to stay by Zayne’s side while he guarded the door vigilantly. They didn’t know when the killer would discover them, so Matthias had to guard the door well.Meanwhile, Heather kept increasing the fare’s price to the driver, hoping that she would be able to find Jason as soon as possible. Looking at the GPS, she became more flustered when they got closer to the destination. She was perturbed as the truth was about to be revealed, and she was all the more anxious at the thought of the critical situation in the hospital. Even if she successfully found Jason now, there was not enough time to rush back to

    Since when has Leon become this caring? Lying on the bed, Zayne really wished to turn to lie on his side. Due to the anesthetics, he didn’t feel much pain; he just felt uncomfortable because he couldn’t stretch his body. Nevertheless, he wasn’t hoping for anyone to understand his feelings at this moment. He attempted to move his body as he was worried if he had actually become handicapped.Leon glanced at Zayne in puzzlement, wondering what he was struggling about. Zayne didn’t seem to be in a good situation, but Leon had no idea how to help him. The two of them faced each other while Leon stared at Zayne with an inquiring look, but he still couldn’t understand what was on Zayne’s mind.It was only until Matthias came into the ward did the standstill between the two come to an end. Leon stood up and stared at Matthias. At that moment, all three of them were at a loss for words as an awkward atmosphere arose in the ward.Alas, Leon spoke up and broke the ice. “I’m going to buy oranges

    The atmosphere surrounding the two men was extremely intense. Matthias didn’t want to cause more trouble at this moment, so he took a few steps back and attempted to keep a distance away from Leon.Leon understood Matthias’ intention. He smirked and said in a sarcastic manner, “President Locke, I heard you’ve been keeping a woman recently.”Matthias freaked out upon hearing his words. So Leon’s actually mad because of this. Matthias couldn’t think of an appropriate explanation. Staring at Leon’s eyes, he knew Leon might not buy his words even if he explained them to him.“You actually believed those rumors?” Matthias said justly. He didn’t intend to explain the details to Leon, nor did he want to be maligned.“I’ve seen you and the woman together with my own eyes.” If it wasn’t that Leon had seen it himself, he wouldn’t be this suspicious of Matthias.Matthias looked at Leon in resignation. It seems like he’s really concerned about Heather’s matters—he’s still bothered about these thi

    Heather walked toward the main road while pondering. Judging by the traffic of the cars that were passing by on the busy road, she had a feeling it would be very hard for her to get a cab at this moment. Hence, she was starting to get a headache just by staring at the noisy street.She reckoned no drivers would be willing to accept a booking at times like these but she still decided to give it a try—only now did she suddenly realize the importance of owning a car.But alas, the fastest way she could think of was to increase the offer price. She believed there would definitely be drivers who were willing to accept her booking as long as she offered a price that was high enough. However, she worried that the cabs were too far away.True enough, when Heather opened the ride-hailing app, there were no drivers around the area. She wished she could get a driver by offering a huge stack of money, but sometimes, there were situations that even money couldn’t solve.When a driver finally accep

    Ever since he stepped foot in Bradfort City, Zayne had nothing but problem after problem piled on his plate. This time, he looked for trouble himself. Matthias’ situation was already far beyond what Zayne could handle, and Jason knew that the latter was barely holding on.After Matthias had left, Jason descended into worry. He looked at Zayne, his face a little on the pale side. Neither brother had managed to reach an agreement. Jason completely did not approve of what Zayne was doing, and the conflict between them could blow up at any moment.The atmosphere was loaded like a powder keg. Both men’s expressions were tense, and it seemed as though things would break down the next second. Jason moved and took a step forward, whereas Zayne curled his hands into fists. The situation was both awkward and tense.Jason continued to march forward. Zayne could find no reason to make him stay, so he helplessly watched as Jason left the room. He looked at his younger brother, his lips faintly qui

    Anger was still anger in the end, and Heather wasn’t someone who would cling to someone unreasonably either. She knew that Leon wouldn’t have hung up on her so easily, and it seemed that he was extremely tired.After her call with Leon ended, Zayne texted her. She played the video clip that he had sent to her, but she wasn’t sure how to react to it. Not only that, Heather didn’t know how he had managed to get his hands on this firsthand information—the venue in the clip was where the Locke Group’s board of directors were currently at.Heather took notice of Matthias in an instant. When she saw him there all by himself, she suddenly felt that he needed to be protected as well. Sometimes, she really couldn’t get a handle on him as her heart ached for Matthias.However, Heather couldn’t bring herself to examine her conscience even though she could sense that Matthias was under a lot of pressure. She had only watched a few seconds of the video clip, but her heartstrings were already being

    At that moment, any further exchange would simply be pointless. The day had barely started, yet it was already so disastrous. The next hours would be even more so.The more Zayne wanted her to admit it, the more resistant she was to do so. With a stiff face, she responded, “It’s his personal affairs. Why should I care?”When he heard her bold words, Zayne had a hard time holding back his laugh, for he was astounded by how persistent she was. Heather was so reluctant to admit it, so he didn’t want to pursue the matter any further. Since she felt that way, he shall have it her way.“What’s your plan today?” As he went off on a tangent, Zayne started to chatter casually. Heather felt that there had to be an underlying meaning behind his words, so she shot him a deadly glare.On the other hand, Zayne stared at her calmly, and he thought her petite look was extremely adorable. She must be dwelling on nonsense again!“Other than locking myself in here, what else can I possibly plan for? I l

    In the freezing night, Matthias stared at the mansion in front of him with not a trace of anger. Since it belonged to the Lockes, it will no longer mean anything to him from now on. Should I say goodbye?Ever since Evan left, the residence had been especially quiet at night. Having lost his attachment to the mansion, he coldly gazed at the building as if the entire area only had one residence.Despite his desire to walk in, he stopped himself outside the home. After all, he was now truly alone after pushing everyone else away.At this moment, he sensed a fragrance of blossoms wafting in the air. He tried to locate the source but to no avail. Surprisingly, such a subtle aroma somehow matched the winter so well. As he took in the scent, he was reminded of the countless incidents, wondering when they would finally end.What surprised him was the fact that the family head had yet to look for him since he left the Locke Group, and that made him feel rather peaceful as the head seemed to ha
