“President Hart…” Lyla clenched her fists that dangled on both sides of her body.If I can go back in time, I won’t be so stupid as to frame Myra when I knew that she was together with Tony in the beginning, and I certainly won’t come to Tony’s office to say those things. At the very least, I won’t make my relationship with Tony to be so tense on the surface.“Do you know why I decided to talk to you in the end, Miss Fisher?” Tony took his cigarette away with a cold expression as he looked at the woman in front of him.Lyla’s heart pumped faster but she forced herself to ask, “Why?”“What I say are never empty words. When you targeted Myra the other day, you should have thought of what would happen today,” Tony commented indifferently as he extinguished his cigarette.Upon hearing that, Lyla’s expression changed immediately.“What do you mean, Director Hart?”“Lyla, you can’t even take care of Elsie, yet you still dream of having a stable position as Mrs. Chase?” His tone was calm as
Why did Sean come here? Why is he here… coincidentally at this moment?Meanwhile, Lyla clenched her fists tightly.Sean…” She forced a smile as she murmured, “Why are you here? Do you have a business discussion with the Hart Group?”Sean merely looked straight ahead at the road in front of him, as though he had not heard Lyla’s question. He drove at such a speed that Lyla saw the traffic police signaled him to slow down, but he ignored them.Both her hands, which were placed on her knees, were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.“Sean—”The car suddenly came to an abrupt stop with a loud screech. Sean had stepped on the brakes furiously, stopping his car on the roadside as he interrupted Lyla, “Why were you at the Hart Group?”Earlier at the Ritz Carlton, Sean saw Lyla going to Tony from afar.Just as he was going to walk over to them, he heard Lyla asking Tony to help her.The countless incidents that had happened before this were quite confusing and messy, so Sean ha
It was silent on the other end of the line and there were only sounds of labored breathing and some static noise. Myra frowned slightly and she repeated herself, “Hello, may I know who is on the line? How can I help you?” However, she was greeted with the same silence.She waited for a long time—it was so long that she assumed it was a prank call. Just as she was about to hang up, a hoarse male voice spoke. “Myra, I want to see you.”Myra was very familiar with this man’s voice—it was one that she had heard more than a thousand times in her dreams. However, listening to his voice now no longer had the same effect as the past, where her heart used to race. She scowled deeply and muttered, “I have nothing to say to you.”Sean must have known that she was about to hang up on him because he sounded anxious and urgent when he said, “Myra, Tony is not a good person. He has been plotting for a long time to be together with you. You have to believe me!” I am sure that the man isn’t as devoted
Kris just could not muster her anger whenever she came face-to-face with Hayden, who had never lost his temper with her. I’m not sure why but ever since I met Hayden, he has had me wrapped around his finger! However, I need to remind myself who is the man I need to marry!She got into the car gloomily and Hayden seemed to sense her foul mood. After he got into the car, he pulled Kris closer to give her a kiss. The kiss seemed to have ignited his passion because he almost pinned her underneath him in the car.“What are you doing?” Kris regarded the man in front of her, who was drowned in lust. She shoved against him and she scowled unhappily. “Why aren’t you driving yet? I will never let you off the hook if I miss my flight!”Hayden merely chuckled good-naturedly as he released her. “Alright, alright. I will send my baby to the airport now. Come to think of it, does the Stark Group have a project abroad? Why are you flying to the United States out of the blue?”Kris’ gaze flashed myste
Myra’s pinkish face flushed a deep red immediately and she turned to glare at Tony. “I’m just 24, whereas you are almost 35 years old now! Who is the old one here?”“Are you complaining that I’m old?” Tony’s eyes narrowed in warning when he heard that.The car came to a sudden halt and Myra was flung forward by the sudden, intense inertia. There was a loud ‘clack’ of the seatbelt unfastening; the next thing she knew, Tony had picked her up and she was facing him.“Tony Hart! We should be headed to the Hart Residence. I’ll leave you here alone if you keep this up!” Myra screamed at him.Tony cocked a brow at her before releasing her slowly because he must have sensed her annoyance.She let out a sigh of relief but before she could be fully seated, he started raining kisses on her.Myra was at a loss for words.It was dark by the time the both of them arrived at the Hart Residence.They weren’t even sure if the whole family was waiting for them to start dinner; it would be horrible if t
“She’s the young lady of the Stark Family. Didn’t Tony tell you, Gemma?” Sebastian looked at Gemma in surprise to salvage what was left of Myra’s approval of him. Then, he shot Tony a disgruntled look. “And you—why are you keeping such a low profile when you are in a relationship?”“I’m worried that somebody might snatch her away,” Tony answered calmly despite Sebastian’s rhetorical question.Everybody was astounded when they heard that, but they broke into knowing grins right away.The only time Tony acts like a normal man is when we talk about Myra in front of her. Thereafter, they turned to Gemma in unison, their gazes holding traces of pity.Tony tightened his arm around Myra’s waist when he said that and he completely ignored Gemma who was standing in front of him. Then, he led Myra to their seats.Gemma’s expression soured slightly.Based on her usual temper, she would have marched right up to Myra and given her a slap while demanding for her to leave. However, this was the Hart
Gemma gritted her teeth viciously when she saw the tacit understanding between the whole family.I did not expect the Hart Family to like that woman so much. It’s not just Serena and her child! That woman even has Old Master Hart and Old Madam Hart wrapped around her finger.I, on the other hand, feel like a total outsider! Before Tony arrived home, everybody treated me courteously but they were mostly just going through the motions. However, once that woman arrived with Tony, no one seemed even bothered to pretend anymore. I even noticed that Serena gave me a cold look earlier!Gemma had never been treated in such a way in her life.“Old Master Hart, do you remember the incident that happened in the United States three years ago when you were there? Tony was so busy that he forgot to pick you up and I was the one who found you at the airport. My parents and grandparents blamed me for not taking good care of you, Old Master Hart. If you and Old Madam Hart were to visit the States agai
Unfortunately, that woman was not her!Gemma shifted her gaze to the woman beside Tony. Stark Group was not well-known, or at least, she had never heard of them before. Her family probably isn’t as great as ours. On top of that, even though she has an acceptable look and figure, there are tons of women out there who have better looks and figures than her! What right does she have to stand next to Tony? A darkness flickered across her eyes.Myra and Tony quickly took their seats. He did not give her a hard time at this dinner which made her feel relieved. However, it wasn’t easy to dismiss Gemma who was sitting across from her.“Tony, this claypot eggplant dish is delicious. Have a taste. This sea bass is also very tender. I know you don’t like fish skin, so I removed it. Try it, Tony. Oh, and this soup. I tried it earlier and it’s really fresh. I’ll get a bowl for you.”From the moment Tony sat down, Gemma eagerly piled food on the small plate in front of him until it formed a mound,
