Does it feel better

“I’ll leave the rest to you,” Tony stoically informed Leo as he felt the fear radiating from the woman in his embrace. He then tightened his arms around her as he held her closer against him before they walked out.There was a chill that lingered in Tony’s wake when he left the station. The captain watched him leaving and turned to ask Leo warily, “Mr. Clark, what’s going on here? Miss Fisher said she had Director Hart’s permission before she asked us to make an arrest.”“Director Hart’s permission?” Leo chuckled dryly, knowing that Lyla had crossed the line. How dare that woman do something like this to Myra?“I’ve already told you what Director Hart has given permission on, Captain Fowler. It seems like you’re more willing to listen to someone with a pretty face.” Leo’s tone became aggressive.In the beginning, he had privately informed Captain Fowler to take good care of Miss Stark. Not only did they switch her holding cell, which sent Leo and the others on a wild goose chase, they

None of your business

Upon hearing the door open behind him, Sebastian turned with a grim expression on his face. His eyes widened when he saw Myra; as realization dawned upon him, he stormed toward them. He shot an icy glare at her as he snapped, “So, is this why you have not been bothered to keep food in your apartment? You’ve been staying with my grandson all along! Did you rush home last night after you learned that I was dropping by your place?”Meanwhile, Myra stared at the old man in shock. She did not think that he would show up in Tony’s apartment.Feeling as though she had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar, she flushed with embarrassment. “Tony, maybe you should let me down,” she said in a feeble voice while tugging on Tony’s shirt. As she did so, Sebastian caught sight of the red marks on her wrists.When he saw that and her swollen eyes, his eyes widened even more. He glowered at Tony while he thundered, “Did you abuse her? You have quite the nerve, Tony! Who taught you to behave in a

My eyes are ugly now

“My eyes are ugly now, though…”Myra’s eyes were swollen after she cried for the entire day. She was sure that she looked hideous and did not want Tony to see her in that shape. However, he gently caressed her temples and brushed his lips over the tops of her eyes before he said, “Your eyes are anything but ugly. In fact, they’re beautiful.”“You must be blind,” she muttered, although she would hate for him to agree that her eyes were hideous, even if she said so herself.He chuckled.His voice was husky and sultry on its own, but when he laughed like that, she felt that she could show him every part of her. His piercing gaze was fixed on her and she found herself blushing once more.“Blinded by your beauty,” Tony quipped, his voice heavy with implication. His lips brushed past hers as his kisses trailed down to her neck whereupon he bit and sucked on the supple skin, marking her as his own.Myra felt the blood rush to her face. She had abandoned all efforts to shrink from him and ins

I know magic now

Reflecting on her earlier actions and her words that he was well aware of, Myra’s face flushed red like the sunset.“Tony Hart!” she growled in a low voice like an annoyed kitten.When Tony’s cold eyes saw her face, a gentle look appeared in his eyes as he grabbed her hand, which she had planned to retract. After brushing the strands of hair that fell by her cheeks behind her ears, he asked in a slightly teasing tone, “Fangirling about me early in the morning?”Myra’s face turned even redder as she turned her head. “I just think you are a fool.”“How so? Do enlighten me.” She wondered whether Tony was merely pretending or if he really did not know as he smiled at her.Myra was slightly uncomfortable under his gaze, but she clearly knew that they would have to overcome many obstacles if they wanted to be with each other—one example was the Hart Family.“I’m already married and about to be a divorcee. Only you would want a woman like me. There are many excellent women in Bradfort City,

That person is not you

Right after Myra finished her sentence, someone yelled out loud, “This is impossible!”The person was not Eve or Sean, but it was Lyla.However, she unwillingly lowered her head after Eve glared at her.Eve’s expression also changed immediately. Initially, she thought that everything would end on a good note today after the divorce. Myra seemed to have suddenly turned into a different person as she requested for half of Chase Group’s land in Hilliville.If it was in the past, that piece of land was a dead city, so they would not be shocked if she had asked for half of it. However, now that it was about to be sold off, they would earn money from it. Of course, no one would like to have lower profits.“Myra…” After thinking about it, Eve frowned. “I always felt sorry that you have no affinity with Sean. I like you, but don’t you think your request earlier is overboard? Two years ago, it was Sean who developed Hilliville from scratch. Have you ever thought about us when you requested hal

Please remember

Myra’s wrist still bore the injuries from the handcuffs the night before. When he held her hand in that moment, she only felt immense pain. With a furious look on her face, she asked, “What the hell are you doing?”Sean did not miss the pain on her face earlier. He lowered his head and saw the injuries on her wrist. Then, his expression immediately changed “What’s this?”It was not just the hand he was holding; her other hand also had similar blue-black bruises on her wrist.“This is none of your business!” Myra forcefully withdrew her hand from Sean’s grip as she withstood the pain.Sean was hesitant. When I went over to her place for a meal, she didn’t have any injuries. After a night… His face suddenly darkened. “Is this because last night, you were brought to…”His sentence trailed off as he closed his mouth with a conflicted expression in his eyes.After being framed by them last night, Myra felt resentful. Even if we can’t be husband and wife, he doesn’t have to frame me with su

Who saved the damsel

So, he’s just asking me to keep it a secret. Lyla’s heart tightened before she heaved a long sigh. “Don’t worry. Even if Director Hart doesn’t tell me this, it will only remain a secret between both of us.”How stupid do I have to be to spill the beans? After all, what I want now is to marry Sean and be the future Mrs. Chase.At such an important juncture, she wanted the incident to be a secret even more than Tony.“In that case, Miss Fisher, the transaction for all the properties under Chase Group in Hilliville will be completed by Director Hart this afternoon,” Leo reported indifferently.Lyla’s heart raced. Sure enough, Director Hart did not lie to me!Her lips curled into a vindictive smile as she happily replied, “Thank you to both of you, Leo and Director Hart.”After Lyla hung up on the call, Eve had a worried expression on her face when the former walked back to them. As soon as she saw Lyla, she quickly asked, “Are there any problems? Is the important customer still buying th

I’m just a nobody

Tony deliberately withdrew his hand from her and sarcastically said, “Of course not. How would I dare to be angry at you? I’m just a nobody. If you would like to hide me, that’s your right to do so.”Yet, he still claims that he’s not angry? He even emphasizes this point.Myra played around with his right hand. “I’m not trying to hide you. You are not an item, so why would I need to hide you? Oh, that sounds wrong. You are something indeed, but… Haha…”“Myra, that’s enough, yeah.”When he heard her joke and her laughter earlier, his face instantly darkened as he quickly turned and glared at her.Under the bright light in the car, there was a beaming spot in the middle of his eyes. Even though it was tiny, she could still see her small reflection in it.Then, memories suddenly flooded her mind.It started when Myra apologized to Elsie after Sean misunderstood her, she could remember the gentle look in Tony’s eyes when he came to pick her up. Then, he brought Elsie down just to let her

Your company is dishonest

Today’s weather was fine, which was suitable for fishing under the sun.Sebastian could not sleep the whole night after forcing Elliot to spill the beans about Myra’s identity. He tossed and turned on the bed, but he just could not fall asleep. He was making such a fuss that Lisa was complaining. In the end, she left him alone in bed and went to the study to sleep.The next morning, Sebastian had dark circles around his eyes due to the lack of sleep.In the morning, he lost his temper a few times in the Chase Residence. It started when he whined about the housekeeper’s cooking—he claimed that the breakfast she prepared was getting worse. “I expect a bowl of noodles, but there is no beef inside. The noodles are so dry that it’s unpalatable.” Next, he complained about the hot and stuffy garden, claiming that the air quality in Bradfort City was deteriorating. In the end, he pestered Lisa and complained about his foul mood while claiming that his grandchild would not even head home to vi

I’m very loyal

“Old Master Hart, did I say something wrong? If you don’t like it, please don’t mind—”“Indeed, I do not like it.” Sebastian had a dark expression and he was no longer being polite to Sasha. It is true that I dislike the girl named Myra. However, I do not appreciate it when others start to badmouth the woman chosen by my grandson. Well, it’s just like family. It’s fine if I reprimand my family members, but others have no right to criticize them.Sasha panicked since the situation was not progressing like how she expected. “Old Master Hart, do you know that Miss Stark is already married to my cousin? She is already married to Sean, but she went ahead to seduce to—”“Who has she seduced? You claim that she is married, so why would she seduce other men?!” Sebastian interrupted without waiting for her to complete her sentence and he continued to glare at her.Sasha was dumbfounded when he fiercely glared at her and she answered him automatically, “Director Hart…”“Hmph!” Sebastian rolled
