At this point, it’s all because Eve forced me to do it! If she didn’t keep on protecting the child inside Elsie, I wouldn’t need to do this!While clenching her fists tightly, Lyla glanced at the door of the ward one last time and furrowed her brows before leaving the place.However, the two of them didn’t know that a dark figure was standing at the emergency exit as he listened to everything they said just now.At the moment, his face looked terrifyingly dark. Even though it was a rather warm autumn, the coldness of his face felt as though it could freeze someone completely.No one knew how much time had passed but it had been quiet outside for a long while. Finally, his eyebrows twitched slightly and he lifted his gaze, revealing the coldness within.…“I know that if my position in the family is under threat, I won’t mind telling him how Myra was framed back then.”“Or are you still lying to yourself? Do you really think I don’t know what you did to me and Sean’s child at that time
Sebastian’s attitude yesterday was a result of his anger but after Lisa’s advice, he thought about it for the whole night. In all honesty, it wasn’t hard for him to see past it.When he saw Myra coming down the stairs, he even took the initiative to greet her and call her over for breakfast. Even though his tone still sounded a little dark, it was a whole lot better than ignoring her.Meanwhile, Tony also came down with her. He was wearing a white shirt and black pants that went along with his meticulously tied dark green tie. However, there weren’t any emotions on his dashing face except for the two rows of teeth marks that were now imprinted on his gorgeous-looking face, serving as a contrast to his cold aura.“Uncle Tony, who bit your chin?” Except for the naïve Henry, everyone else pretended to not notice the bite marks on his chin.Listening to Henry’s words, Tony walked to Myra’s side, causing her face to flush immediately. She didn’t dare to look at the man next to her, so she
According to Tony’s status and position, he could have any woman he wanted, so why would he want a divorced woman? But if we are talking about marriage, the situation is totally different.Therefore, Jordan’s gaze inexplicably became more serious.Suddenly, Tony patted his shoulder and murmured, “My grandpa is already making arrangements for the wedding, so it’ll probably happen in the next two months.”Immediately, a hint of surprise flashed through Jordan’s eyes. Looks like Old Master Hart has agreed to this. All of a sudden, he couldn’t help but feel impressed as he looked at Myra. If a divorced woman like her, who has lots of scandals surrounding her, can receive Old Master Hart’s approval of joining the Hart Family, it means that either she is a godlike manipulator or there’s something wrong with the news that broke out yesterday. According to my sharp sense toward gossip, there’s definitely a possibility that yesterday’s news is fake. However, since she is about to join the Hart
Sean’s statement stoked the flames of the already-heated discussion. There were those who remained suspicious of Myra and they challenged her to speak up for herself to prove she wasn’t guilty. However, these keyboard warriors were quickly shut down by others who relentlessly called them out for their jealousy, claiming that they only vilified Myra because they couldn’t stand to see her better off than their sorry lot. Soon after that, the vicious comments stopped and all seemed to have been perfectly resolved.Presently, Leo’s expression remained unchanged, but he felt like he was walking on clouds as he left Tony’s office after the latter had increased his yearly bonus. He had only just come out of the office when Ivy was about to enter. He assessed her impassively and did not notice the frosty look in her eyes as he greeted with a smile, “Miss Ivy, Director Hart appears to be in a good mood today. Now would be a good time to let him know about the newly-revised investment funds all
“Seems like word has reached you,” Tony remarked flatly as he slipped a cigarette between his lips before deftly lit it up with a lighter. Soon, white smoke swathed his features, blurring out the expression on his face.He knew why Gideon was calling, but he no longer wanted to entertain the Waltons, as Gemma’s antics had exhausted whatever patience he had had for them.On the other end of the call, Gideon’s face grew grim and there was a menacing gleam in his eyes as he jested, “Does your fiancée happen to be the famous Miss Stark from Bradfort City? I’ve heard rumors about the both of you and I didn’t think they were true—unless, of course, you’ve actually fallen for her.”While Tony’s relationship with Miss Stark had been widely covered by various news outlets, Gideon had remained skeptical. After all, he knew what Tony was like—cold, ruthless, and a workaholic who devoted all his life to his business empire. Tony might settle down with a woman at some point but it would be a solel
Gemma found herself growing more annoyed as the call went on. “I refuse to believe that that woman would ever marry into the Hart Family. She must have been the one to spread the news but once the Harts find out about it, her life in Bradfort City will be over.”“Well, don’t you have everything figured out?” Gideon snorted sarcastically. “I just got off the phone with Tony and he told me himself that he was going to marry that woman! Do you even know what you’ve done, Gemma? Because of your recklessness, the Hart Group has decided to set aside our plans to enter the Bradfort City consumer market! ”“What?” Gemma screeched incredulously. Having just buckled her seatbelt, she deliberately ignored the irritating figure who was shouting at her from the other side of the car window. Panic-stricken, she went on to say, “Gideon, please tell me you’re joking.”“I can assure you I’m not. If you don’t believe me, you could always give Dad and Grandpa a call,” Gideon bit out witheringly. “You’ve
She had sent him an audio message in which she said, “Thank you for the lunch today. I love it.”For a while, there was no reply. Just as Myra thought Sebastian was ignoring her, he sent an audio message, sounding gruff as he said pointedly, “What are you thanking me for? I’m not the one who asked the kitchen to make lunch for you. You should thank Tony’s grandma for this; it has nothing to do with me whatsoever.”It was almost as if Sebastian couldn’t wait to deny all insinuations that he had anything to do with Myra’s lunchbox.Nonetheless, warmth surged through Myra as she smiled at his message, and she said nothing more after that.While she dug into her lunch, Tony was speaking to her on the phone.“I just got off the phone with Mr. Engelhard,” he said down the line. Upon hearing that, she couldn’t help the contented smile on her face as his deep and husky voice filled her ears.She took another bite of food from the lunchbox Sebastian had sent over and hummed in response before
“How dare you?” Eve seethed, her chest rising and falling rapidly. Sean had made it very evident that he was swaying toward Myra, and he disregarded his mother’s warnings along the way.She grew indignant at the thought. When she stormed into the building earlier, she hadn’t expected Myra to be so unkind and dismiss her like she was nothing. This girl is acting high and mighty now that she has the Hart Family to back her up! “You’d better watch your manners, Myra! Don’t forget that I used to be your mother-in-law!” Eve snapped angrily.“Thank you for the reminder but as my former mother-in-law, have you forgotten what you did to me at the time of the divorce?” Myra asked and there was a glint of dark amusement in her eyes as she assessed the woman.She had long since understood how despicable Eve could be, and there was no point in trying to keep up the niceties under such ugly circumstances. With that in mind, she turned around and strode toward the exit, then bit out tersely, “I’m a
