Very soon, the car pulled up outside a high-end atelier.“Miss Stark, Director Hart has a couple of things to attend to but he will be here soon. He asked that you dress however you like.” Then, Leo added, “He also mentioned that he loves it no matter how you dress.”He repressed a cringe as he said this and he coughed to try to hide his embarrassment.Director Hart’s been openly affectionate these days, he mused to himself. Gone is the imposing man whose looks could freeze an entire room.Upon hearing this, Myra flushed and hummed in response, then hastily marched into the atelier. She was getting used to how blatant Tony could be.As she entered the atelier, she was enthusiastically greeted by the manager and the small team of sales assistants.They had seen her as soon as she got down from the car, and given that Tony and Sebastian had personally asked them to serve her well, they dared not leave a bad impression.The young ladies who worked in the atelier couldn’t help but look up
As though absentmindedly, Leo shifted his body as he addressed Myra, thereby blocking Gideon’s line of sight.No longer in the mood to try on the other dresses after seeing Kris in the atelier, Myra nodded and answered, “I’ll be wearing this one.”Just as Leo was about to inform her that Tony was on his way, the stormy-faced man standing off to one side broke into an icy smirk. He then walked up to them with his arm around Kris’ waist and asked, “Mr. Clark, are you not going to introduce us?”As soon as the words were out of his mouth, his eyes fell on Myra.Leo’s face was impassive when he heard this, and he was perfunctory as he addressed Gideon and Myra respectively. “This is Miss Stark, Director Hart’s fiancée; Miss Stark, this is Director Walton.”Then, he turned to look at Gideon and said stoically, “Now, if you’ll excuse us, DirectorWalton. Director Hart is on his way.”With that, Leo gave Myra a look and indicated for her to head toward the exit. However, just as they were ab
Myra looked at him speechlessly. “Of course I know. Today is your birthday, right?”Tony pursed his thin lips while a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes.She suddenly caught his right hand and lowered her head before planting a kiss on the back of his hand. “Happy Birthday, Tony!”She then raised her head and looked at the man, who was driving beside her, with sincere eyes.However, not only did Tony not drop the frown, his expression actually darkened instead and he retracted his hand without replying to her.She caught a glimpse of his expression with the corner of her eye, which put a smile on her face and made her clutch the phone in her handbag tightly.And so, Tony, who was most likely sulking, did not try to make any conversation with her throughout the journey. Although Myra tried to talk to him, he either gave her perfunctory replies or he sometimes even ignored her completely.Soon, the two of them arrived at their destination.At this moment, all sorts of luxur
As they were standing right at the entrance of Ritz Carlton, it was only natural to have countless pairs of eyes watching them at that moment.Just as Myra almost died of embarrassment, a pair of hands took her into his embrace and led her into the hall. Throughout all this, the man did not forget to glance at the crowd before them with a slight smile. “Thank you all for attending my banquet at the Ritz Carlton. I hope that all of you will enjoy yourselves tonight,” Tony announced in a calm voice, as if kissing a woman in front of the crowd was no big deal. He then chivalrously led Myra toward the center of the hall.The next instant, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.Recently, the fiancée of the Hart Family’s successor had caused quite a stir in Bradfort City and became the source of gossip and scandal, especially her entanglement with the successor of the Chase Group, Sean Chase, as well as her relationship with the man who was standing before them now. Their relationship—whi
As for Kris, she was following them from behind.When she went to the airport to pick this group of people up, she noticed that the elders of the Walton Family were displeased with her. However, they were not mean to her, but that was probably due to Gemma’s presence.It was at that moment that she knew that she had to keep a low profile to prevent the Waltons from picking on her faults.…Tony, who remembered that Myra had not eaten much that night, ordered a waiter to send them a piece of cake. It was a matcha-flavored cake, which was something that she fancied. However, much to his surprise, the taste made her feel nauseous as soon as she took a bite.When he noticed that she did not look good, Tony furrowed his brows and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Is it not to your liking? I will ask the waiter to get you something else.”“It’s fine. Maybe I took too much alcohol earlier, so it’s making my stomach uncomfortable. I’ll be fine after drinking some plain water, though.”There was a
Gemma’s action of apologizing to Myra in front of everyone eased Sebastian’s gloomy expression. Nobody can mess with the future daughter-in-law of the Hart Family!As it was not the Hart Family’s intention to drive the Walton Family into a corner, Sebastian darted a calm look at his grandson, Tony, when he heard Old Master Walton’s words. Tony raised an eyebrow and did not say anything, so Sebastian smiled and nodded. “It was merely a small conflict between the young ones. Everything will be fine once they talk things out.”When the Waltons heard that, their expressions eased a little.After the two families chatted for a while, the Hart Family left and returned to the crowd with the excuse that they had other things to attend to, leaving the Walton Family standing on the spot awkwardly.It was only when the Hart Family had left that Old Master Walton’s expression instantly fell and gloom spread across his face. To him, the Hart Family’s attitude toward them was akin to humiliating hi
Sean’s voice was filled with anger. Myra was initially mine! She was mine! Then, she was snatched by the man on the other end of the line with dirty tricks! No, that man can’t possibly be sincere to her. He must be scheming something!His eyes were red. For the past few days, he had been searching for evidence day and night, but all he found were basically his presumptions.Suddenly, someone knocked on his office door.He hung up the call and massaged his temple in exhaustion.When the matter that he had been investigating slowly surfaced, Tony and Myra’s intimate relationship was also gradually revealed to him.Sean was baffled by the news. Myra was still deeply in love with him a few months ago, and in the blink of an eye, she fell in love with another man. How was that possible?He closed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Come in.”The door to his office was pushed open and Lyla slowly walked in.She seemed healthier than before; it was probably because she felt that the crisis wa
Lyla’s back was drenched with cold sweat as an unprecedented panic and fear filled her chest.“Sean, I am not sure what you heard and from whom… But, you have seen the trade secrets of the Hilliville project from Chase Group. The video recording is concrete proof that Myra stole it. Besides, I do not understand what is happening with Chase Group’s Hilliville. I merely provided a client for Chase Group to solve their emergency matters. Why are you making it sound like I have done something horrible to the Chase Group?!” The more she talked about it, the more convincing she sounded.This is especially true for the Chase Group’s HIllville project. During that time, there happened to be an issue with the Chase Group’s funding chain. If I hadn’t provided them with clients at that time, Chase Group wouldn’t have been out of crisis! I know the reason why Sean is investigating me. It is all thanks to Myra! He rarely comes home nowadays and it is usually in the middle of the night even if he r
