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
As they walked out of the hut, they were greeted with the sight of all of the rioting workers being restrained by the armed police. While the workers were all huddled up in a spot, the team leader of the police force frowned when he saw the girl in Tony’s arms. “Director Hart, she’s supposed to go to the station to give a statement…” he muttered carefully. But before he could finish his sentence, Tony threw him an icy glare that silenced him immediately. “Officer Wayne, we have another witness here; she can follow you back to the station if you need a statement.” Leo hastily spoke up. Wayne nodded. “All right, that’s great.” Leo noticed how Myra seemed to be trembling in Tony’s arms, so he took his own coat off to cover her with it. However, before he could do so, Tony took a step away from him to avoid Leo’s coat. Leo scratched his nose awkwardly. Well, at least I feel relieved now that everything’s over, he thought to himself. After he had gotten off the call with Myra earlier, Leo
As Heather returned to Langston Group, her mind was full of questions while she troubled herself over the next step. The moment she opened the door to the office, Heather had the urge to cry, but she had no tears to shed. She looked at the man sitting on her seat and gave him a smile that looked worse than crying.“Where’d you go?” Matthias looked at Heather in disdain. It was obvious that he came here to catch her in the act.Matthias’ tone got on Heather’s nerves. She hadn’t even confronted him about the incident the day before, but he dared to use this questioning tone to talk to her.“That’s none of your business. Get off my chair.” Heather wasn’t intimidated in the least. If it weren’t for the glass door, she would’ve made Matthias wish he were dead.She was suddenly impressed by Blake for getting her an office with a glass door. It was crystal clear, so anything that happened on one side of the door could be seen from the other.The transparency restricted Heather’s actions and
In the meantime, Heather noticed her phone ringing a few times but decided to ignore Matthias’ calls and hang them up. Nonetheless, her phone continued to ring again and again, no matter how many times she declined them. Eventually, Heather became annoyed and directly turned off her phone after her refusal to answer the call failed to make Matthias give up.On the other hand, the man lay down his phone in disappointment, surprised that Heather would rather turn off her phone than answer his call. It seems that I really did piss her off pretty badly yesterday. Great! Even Heather won’t talk to me now. At the thought of that, he somehow felt overwhelmed by loneliness.Meanwhile, Heather was bothered by mixed feelings inside her, deeming Matthias capricious and fathomless. Deep down, she reckoned Matthias still stubbornly insisted that it was all her fault for ruining his chance of living a happy life with Myra. Despite her guilt toward him about the things that had happened in the past,
Considering her irrational state, Heather was prompted by her instincts to leave the place before the situation turned ugly. Nevertheless, she somehow couldn’t bring herself to simply just walk away because she didn’t know how she could face Matthias again if she opened the door and left like that. At the same time, she was mad and disgusted with herself for taking him into consideration at such a time.“Get out!” Matthias bellowed at Heather, clinging onto the last bit of his rationality.Heather calmly exchanged gazes with Matthias; she looked the man in the eye without even blinking as she refused to leave due to his impertinent attitude. I’m not just some woman whom you could just summon and shoo away as you wish! After all, the man’s mean response somehow hurt her pride.“You told me to follow you, and now you’re asking me to go?” Heather glared at Matthias, as if a fight could break out between them at any minute.Although Matthias was succumbing to his agitated emotions, Heathe
Right now, Matthias had completely lost his composure and confidence. He was no longer his usual self, and his cowardly character was now totally out in the open. At this moment, Heather could not get away, but she could not ignore him either, so the two embraced each other in a bizarre manner.“Am I a failure?” Like a child, Matthias was curled up in Heather’s arms. He was a tall and burly man, yet he looked especially fragile at this moment.“No. There is no winning or losing when it comes to matters of the heart,” Heather replied gently. Recalling her previous relationship, she also thought at that time that she was a failure.Hearing that, Matthias held back his tears. Men should not shed tears, so he just stared at Heather. With mixed feelings, Heather felt uncomfortable under his stare, and she thought that she saw the old her in his eyes.“You’re not manly at all when you look like this.” Heather slightly raised her eyebrows, trying to ease the tension.At this time, no matter
Heather was puzzled after being questioned by Matthias like that. It sounded like there were terrorists who wanted to attack Myra and Tony’s wedding. She was not someone who was willing to be led on like that, so she narrowed her eyes and looked at Matthias indifferently, as if she was watching a show.“Excuse me, but I’m in a hurry to get home.” She completely did not take his words to heart.With Tony’s skills, he was still able to protect Myra, so Heather wasn’t worried at all about what Matthias said.“Heather, please believe me.” Matthias’ eyes widened, making him look a little scary.“You’ve been making a scene all day. What more do you want?” Heather said helplessly. Actually, she felt disappointed in him and wanted to get rid of this annoying man as soon as possible.“Give me half an hour. I really have something very important to say to you.” Matthias was already trying to be very patient, but Heather’s words and actions made him feel really saddened.With a cold huff, Heathe
The day of the wedding was approaching, and every day, Myra woke up in a different mood as she felt the subtle changes within her. Every day was a new day; sometimes, it felt like time passed too quickly, and sometimes, it was the complete opposite.Myra instructed Tony to keep a low profile; hence, during these days, Bradfort City was quiet. In fact, Tony had sent out invitations much earlier, so the entire business world knew that he was marrying Myra. Although several media companies got wind of the news, Tony didn’t allow them to report it indiscriminately, so the wedding was a very low-key one.Matthias received the invitation from Tony as well, and when he looked at the invitation in his hand, he felt that it was surreal. Gripping the invitation in his hand until it crumpled, he had no idea how to describe what he felt.Perhaps it was the joy that such an occasion brought with it that cast a peaceful vibe over the entire Bradfort City. Matthias looked at the computer in front of
When talking about things like bags, women simply could go on and on. Once again, Heather avoided the part that she didn’t want to talk about, and Myra also had no way to continue to ask her. However, she at least finally understood Heather’s relationship issues.Afterward, when she thought of the fact that Heather had kept such an important thing a secret, Myra felt a thorn in her heart. Nevertheless, she was also hiding something from Heather at the time.Even best friends had secrets that could not be said, so she felt better after comforting herself that way. Now that Heather had revealed this matter, Myra intended to go back to think of a countermeasure because she could not let Heather continue so.While chatting, time passed unknowingly, but the two still had a lot to say. However, Tony then arrived after getting off work, waiting to take Myra home.Glancing at Myra with envy, Heather felt relieved when she knew that Tony truly loved Myra. Just now, Myra had told her about the
She’s hesitating again. Guess I have to ramp up the intensity. It wasn’t every day Heather would talk about her relationship problems, so Myra wanted to teach her everything at once. “You’re still hiding something from me?” Myra asked sternly. She had to do that, or Heather wouldn’t cave in.“It happened back in school.” Heather struggled for a moment before finally deciding to come clean. It had been her little secret for too long, and she never told anyone about it. Now that she looked back on it, Heather thought it was a sweet memory, even though the relationship didn’t end well. It did bud, though.She and that young man were two proud individuals. It was the first time Heather came across someone who was so similar that she felt like he was her other half. It was then she started falling for him.Back then, she had just begun studying abroad in Italy, so everything was new and unfamiliar to her. The good thing was that she finally broke free of her family, and back then, she stil
It’s hard to talk about? Myra’s heart sank, because Heather never described anything that way. She shot Heather a look, telling her to keep talking.“How does it feel to love someone?” Heather asked after much hesitation. She didn’t know how it felt to love someone, nor did she know how to fall for someone.Myra shot her a look of surprise. “You have a crush?” That was the only reason for that question; at least, that was the only one she could think of.Heather shook her head. “No. But I don’t dislike him either. It’s a weird feeling.” Heather looked confused, because even she couldn’t understand the relationship between her and Matthias.Myra stared at her in disbelief. At that moment, she needed Heather to be completely honest with her, or she wouldn’t be able to give her any good advice. “Why’d you ask that question then?” Myra wasn’t about to be fooled. Obviously, she could see that Heather was going through something special in her life, and she could think of nothing else but r
