All of this felt too familiar. Back when she slept in Tony’s apartment for one night, upon waking up the next day, the bathroom in his apartment had been set up like this as well!Back then…Myra quickly turned to the storage basket next to her. That basket contained the clothes she changed out of last night that was meant to be washed, and on the top was her nude-colored bra. Above that were Tony’s black boxer briefs!Myra’s face flushed red at once.Her phone rang, and when she saw that it was a call from Tony, she immediately hung up.Tony was at the airport at that moment, and he was about to board his plane. When his call was hung up on, he raised his eyebrows slightly. She’s just woken up and it’s so early in the morning, yet her temper’s so bad already?He called her again.This time, Myra didn’t hang up. However, when she picked up, her tone was mildly unpleasant. “Yes?”Tony let out a low chuckle. “Angry?”Myra kept a straight face and didn’t speak.“Hey, I’ll deal with thing
“Nonsense!”“Nonsense!”Two different voices said the same thing.Myra stared at Lyla, who had been quiet since earlier. This woman has become even more gorgeous than before. After all, she has managed to get between my relationship with Sean and replaced me. All of her tactics have succeeded.Suddenly, she leaned closer to Lyla and said faintly, “Miss Fisher, you’ve racked your brains just to be with Sean. However, the heavens are keeping watch on the wicked and the good. One day, you’ll accidentally expose your cloven foot.”“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Approached by Myra, Lyla shrank and buried herself in Sean’s arms in fear. “Myra, you’ve betrayed us so many times. Even though Sean accidentally put you in prison, there’s no need for you to hate us like this, is there? Your debt to us… has been written off.”Noticing that Lyla was hiding in his embrace out of her fear toward Myra, Sean looked right at the latter’s cold gaze. “Myra, we didn’t know you’d be here when we
Nonetheless, Conan had an ax to grind. He wanted Tony to get together with Myra. No matter if it was for Myra’s sake, or the things she was about to face in the future, to be with him would be the greatest benefit she could gain.There was a gentle smile at the corners of Myra’s mouth. “He’s very kind to me. I know he treats me sincerely. And he’s also… the man that I want…”When she uttered the last sentence, her voice softened, and her face blushed. Secretly, she glanced at Conan. When she saw that he wasn’t making fun of her, she went on, “If I choose the wrong one again this time, I won’t regret it…”“You’ve grown up, Myra.” Conan let out a sigh.Conan’s words still echoed in Myra’s ears when she left the Ritz Carlton. ‘Are you sure, Myra? Don’t you want that kid from the Hart Family to help you? You must know that with his help, you can achieve double the result with half the effort. You can even take back what’s yours from the Stark Group. It’s nothing more than a meeting for a
Myra’s sleepy voice sounded soft and gentle as if it was a small hand caressing Tony’s heart. The impressive New York street view was no longer visible to him.Remembering the moment he saw her message after he got off the plane, his heart softened all of a sudden. He took the cigarette away from his thin lips and put it out on the ashtray. His charmingly low voice rose in Myra’s ear. “Did you miss me?”As if an electric current had passed through her body, Myra shuddered slightly and buried herself deeper into her bed. Her muffled sound rose from under her blanket. “Yes…” Then, she heard his low chuckle. She could even feel the vibration of his chest even though he was far away.She felt like she was getting weaker after she met Tony. When she couldn’t see him, she missed him a lot. Yet, when he was in front of her, she felt awkward. Biting her lip, she then said suddenly, “Did you go back to deal with the Hartwell Group?” Estelle once mentioned to her that Tony planned to move the c
Was Elliot inside the car back then?In the next moment, the car’s engine started and left.Myra shook her head at her own thoughts and went on to play with Meow before she brought it back to her house.The schedule had been packed recently. Once the men from the business circle were done with dinner, one of them suggested they visit a nightclub. It was something they had gotten used to doing.When Tony got up on his feet, he casually grabbed his suit jacket before he loosened his tie slightly without an expression. Standing beside him was a similarly tall and handsome man. The man let out a low chuckle and said to Tony, “My sister called you yesterday night, and when you didn’t answer the call, she was so infuriated that she smashed the new desk lamp we just got recently. That honor is yours alone. Apart from you, I really don’t know who can control her.” He sounded gloomy yet evil, and his words were ambiguous.Even though Tony heard that, his expression remained stoic. He simply pu
He was the Hart Family’s elder. Myra didn’t know how he would think of her in the future!Estelle pouted. “How would I know that he would come and happen to see that box… But, since Tony also saw it, how was it? Was he particularly excited that night?”Speaking of Tony, Estelle started gossiping again. “How was he? You’re so tiny. Could you stand him?” After she said that, she sized Myra up and pinched her cheek. “Look at your complexion. You look so good. Indeed, you’ve been pampered.” She gave her a meaningful grin. “Myra, that box of things…”“Estelle!”Myra was flushed from head to toe, and her face was burning with embarrassment. “If you bring this up again, I’ll kick you out!”“Aww. You want to kick me out? Is it because you’re afraid that I’ll find a pair of men’s black boxer briefs in the drawer where you keep your underwear?” Estelle swayed around Myra, grinning like a Cheshire cat.Immediately, Myra’s face turned even redder. Indeed, that was Tony’s underwear. After the unde
His voice was indifferent and monotonous. Yet, it managed to send chills down Gemma’s spine.Her body stiffened as she turned around and stared at the cold man. “What? No way… You obviously have feelings for me. You just don’t know it because you’re apathetic… It’s okay; it’s okay… I can wait…”She started talking gibberish, and Tony’s patience ran out. When he remembered Myra’s call, he directly ignored the woman in front of him and walked into his villa.Gemma stared at his distant figure. Her teeth nearly sank through her pink lip!It’s the same again! It’s the same every time! No matter what I do to pursue him, he never looks at me! Is there something wrong with me? However, she felt fortunate that she wasn’t the only one that Tony treated like that. He’s not drawn to women. Maybe, he’s born to be an indifferent man…Gemma tried to cheer herself up as she thought, No matter what, I’ve had a lot more chances compared to other women.After Tony got into the villa and got rid of the
After she finished talking, she lifted the bag again and walked back to her apartment. The light in Sean’s eyes had dimmed and a wave of slight anger filled his chest. Without thinking, he pulled Myra back by her hand. “Who are you seeing now?”Why else would she speak to me this way?At this moment, the two of them did not notice the black Maybach that was driving toward them in the sunset.Myra grew furious when he held her back. She seethed, “Even if I am seeing someone, what does it have to do with you?” The moment she saw the look on his face, her gaze turned bizarre. “Sean, don’t tell me you’re bothered that I’m with another man now? Don’t forget that we got divorced a long time ago. You have no control over who I choose to be with!”His expression was dark, and his eyes lit up with fury. But, seeing the calm expression on her face, he suppressed his anger and scoffed. “After all, we were married once. I just wanted to remind you of your status, Myra. You have to be wary of any
At Bradfort City, news about Heather and Matthias was spreading fast and wide. The next morning, Robert called for Heather to have a talk in the study.Blake seemed so delighted that Heather even suspected he was the one behind the articles. Otherwise, Matthias and her wouldn’t have been the target of gossip when it was Myra and Tony who got married.In the study, Robert didn’t look too happy, so Heather didn’t even dare to breathe too loud. She felt a little guilty since she had denied having any romantic relationship with Matthias, which had caused Robert to disregard the flirtatious relationship between her and Matthias for a long time.But now, the news was spreading all over the town. Not only were people talking about their private lives, but also Locke Group and Langston Group. Since Langston Group was getting affected now, there was no way Robert was going to turn a blind eye.Just then, he angrily flung the newspaper to Heather. “Look at this article. Are you still going to d
While browsing through the article, Matthias stopped at a certain page and stared at the picture on it with deadpan eyes. He was astonished that the reporters even managed to get their hands on such a picture and he wondered how long they had been secretly following them. Something fishy was definitely going on.While gazing at Evan, he tapped on the table with one hand. “Find out who this reporter is.” His instincts were telling him that there was something odd about this reporter. Perhaps by starting here, he could figure out why Heather and him were being targeted.Glancing at Matthias’s stern face, Evan asked rather worriedly, “You think this has something to do with the Locke Family.” As expected from Matthias’ confidant, Evan immediately guessed his thoughts.“This isn’t the first time the Locke Family has done something like this, and you know this,” Matthias said profoundly. He was very well aware of the Locke Family’s tricks, but he never expected they had a large enough netw
When Heather saw the news reports about her and Matthias, she immediately lost her appetite for breakfast.She stood up under the others’ gazes and forced a smile at Robert. “I’m done with breakfast. There are some matters to be attended to in the company, so I shall leave first.”With that, Heather left the Langston Residence and sped all the way to vent out her displeasure. Now that an agreement had been established between her and Matthias, she couldn’t actually retort the reports because according to their agreement, there was no issue about the content reported.However, by publishing this kind of news together with Myra’s wedding reports, it was like indirectly informing Myra about the ambiguous relationship between Heather and Myra.Heather was worried that Myra would instinctively connect the dots before she could confess to her.Fortunately, Myra had gone for her honeymoon trip, otherwise she would have confronted her about this matter. Nevertheless, the honeymoon trip would
Shawn couldn’t stay on any longer. Then, he retracted his furious glare and waved at Tilly.“Over here.” Tilly looked at Shawn timidly. He was wearing a fierce expression a second ago, but was calling her over now.After hesitating for a while, Tilly still went forward while staring nervously at Shawn. She wondered if she had annoyed him just now, and he didn’t seem to be pleased either when she took a close look at him. As such, Tilly regretted coming to look for Estelle.Shawn pushed Estelle into Tilly’s arms. “She’s drunk. Please look after her on my behalf. I have some urgent matters to attend to,” Shawn said while turning around elegantly.Tilly nodded instinctively. It was only after Shawn had left did she smell the alcohol in Estelle’s breath.Fortunately, Estelle was already exhausted, otherwise she would surely chase after Shawn. At this moment, Estelle was just weak. Tilly asked in resignation, “Estelle, how much did you actually drink?”“I wanna drink more.” Estelle giggled
It was a busy day, where some people were happy while some were sad. Myra and Tony were a perfect match, and those who were skeptical about this couple finally stopped commenting on them.Tony was worried that Myra would be exhausted, so he sent her back to the lounge to get some rest. After all, it was inadvisable for pregnant women to stand for too long. Myra was indeed exhausted too, so she listened to Tony’s advice. Originally, Tony wanted to ask Heather to keep Myra accompanied, but Myra stopped him from doing so.“Look at them. They seem to be getting along pretty well, so let’s not disturb them,” Myra said while pointing at Heather and Lucas, who were standing not too far away from them. Tony didn’t want to spoil his brother’s good time either, so he restrained from calling Heather along.When Heather realized Myra and Tony had disappeared, the couple were already having a sweet time in the lounge. Noticing Heather was gazing around, Lucas asked casually, “Are you looking for s
Tony sped all the way to the well-decorated church that seemed matrimonious. It had been completely arranged to Myra’s liking. He was willing to do anything for her, and he’d always provide her with the best.Guests started to flock to the church as Tony welcomed the guests at the entrance. Meanwhile, Myra was waiting for the wedding to begin in a quieter area.Heather was keeping Myra company. At this moment, Myra seemed anxious as she held onto Heather’s hand tightly.“Take a deep breath. I’ve never seen you so anxious before.” Heather tried to calm Myra down.“Heather, there are a lot of things that I don’t know how to convey.” As Myra and Heather locked eyes, Heather bent down to match Myra’s eye-level. They looked like a pair of sisters.“You can take your time.” Heather’s smile was so influential.Myra quieted down for a moment as she went into deep thought, but she still couldn’t find the right words. She ended up looking at Heather nervously, making Heather wonder if she would
The Hart Residence was bustling with people. Elliot and Tilly arrived in the same car, while the door of another car opened to reveal Shawn, who then held the door open for Estelle.The third car had stopped, and Philip came out of it. At that moment, all of Myra and Tony’s friends had arrived. When they were in the living room, Serena warmly received them while Henry smiled happily. He was overjoyed that his Uncle Tony was finally getting married.Everyone went upstairs, and the men and women went to different rooms. According to local customs, the bride and bridesmaid would lock themselves in the bride’s room, while the groom and the groomsmen had to complete a series of challenges set by the bridesmaids in order to be let into the room to pick up the bride before proceeding with the wedding ceremony. Estelle and Tilly went straight to Myra’s room. Pushing open the door, Estelle was astonished that the one who was talking and laughing with Myra was none other than Heather.Time had
At night, Matthias wasn’t the only one who couldn’t sleep; Heather was also tossing and turning in her bed. Meanwhile, Myra and Tony were having pillow talk, and before they knew it, it was dawn. They weren’t supposed to spend the night together the day before the wedding, but they were unwilling to leave each other’s side. As such, they disregarded the tradition.After changing into a suit, Tony spent most of his time in front of the mirror early in the morning. Meanwhile, in another room, a makeup artist was putting on bridal makeup for Myra. According to local customs, the groom was supposed to pick up the bride at her home, but due to certain circumstances, Myra was going to be ‘picked up’ from the next room. On another note, Tony had spent the past few days decorating their new home—a villa he had just bought.Myra hadn’t seen the new villa nor did she know where it was since Tony wanted to surprise her. After they got married, they were going to move out and live in their own ho
Heather was actually not surprised upon hearing this answer. How could she forget that she first encountered Matthias at the man-made hill too? Heather wore a spurious smile. It seemed like Myra had gone through the pains because of Matthias.“You have a good memory.” Heather lowered her head so Matthias couldn’t see her eyes nor the complicated emotions in them and took a bite of food.Matthias smiled and remained silent. Not only did he remember the incident clearly, but he even felt like it happened yesterday. His memory was so vivid that he could clearly recall Heather’s expression at that time.“You asked me out today just to ask about this matter?” Matthias asked in disappointment. After beating around the bush, it turned out that Heather’s motive was to ask this simple question.Heather did not respond to Matthias. Her aim had already been achieved and she didn’t intend to explain to Matthias. Seeing Heather ignoring his question, Matthias roughly understood that it was true th
