Tony must have felt Sean’s eyes on him. When he turned casually, he was met by a pair of somber eyes. Smirking, he said, “You left in a hurry last time so I didn’t get the chance to congratulate you, Director Chase. I heard you and Miss Fisher are getting married next month. I hope you live a long and happy life together.”Those words plunged into Sean’s heart like a sharp awl. His lips moved. “Thank you, Director Hart.”He looked away after he spoke. The lines on his cheek turned stone-cold as if he was suppressing his anger.Tony smiled faintly, but there was not a trace of warmth in his eyes.Shortly after, the conference reached its peak. Tony was the last to go up on stage after Sean was done with his turn. When he went on stage, the lively energy of the crowd almost ripped through the roof of the auditorium.The students in the audience posed many questions such as what he was like in school, problems in the early stages of entrepreneurship, and the reason he succeeded the Hart

Sean turned around with a cigarette burning slowly in his hand. On top of the trash can next to him, there were a few cigarette buds that had already been put out. When he heard the principal’s question, a number of complicated emotions flurried across his eyes. He stayed quiet for a long while, then took a puff of smoke before he spat, “We’ve been divorced for a while now.”The principal was taken aback. He blurted, “Why?” He only realized he was too hasty after the question came out of his mouth. Noticing that Sean did not look too good, he chuckled awkwardly and said, “I’m just a curious person. I didn’t mean to sound rude. I just remember the days when Myra pursued you. When I saw the two of you get married later on, I was happy for both of you. I didn’t think…” …they would get divorced. Was there some truth in the articles that were published in the entertainment news at the time?As the principal looked at the man before him who had a successful career and was slowly becoming mo

After Myra said that, her face looked like it was about to burn from how red it was. She quickly sat upright in her seat and started the engine to depart.Meanwhile, the man who was on the receiving end of her affection glanced at a shady place in the rearview mirror and smiled with a profound look in his eyes.Sean’s car was still parked behind them.It was as if he had been possessed earlier. After getting into his car, he did not leave right away but drove to the school’s gate instead as though he was waiting for something.While he looked at the merry food stalls on the side of the street and the happy crowd of people, his eyes were out of focus for a long time.Did this place carry a lot of memories that he shared with Myra?The principal’s words kept circling around in his mind: ‘When it comes to certain people, don’t wait until they’re gone to feel regret. Myra deserves as much as you can give her. If another turning point comes around, you should hold on tight to it.’Do I sti

Myra felt something warm budding in her heart. Reaching out, she grabbed his hand that was pretending to take stuff out of the small shopping cart and interlaced her fingers with his. Then, she softly said, “I’ll just order them online for her. You don’t need to put any of the stuff you like back.”Tony lifted his eyebrow at her and wryly said, “That’s not good, is it?”Looking at his insincere and sanctimonious attitude, she squeezed his fingers hard. I’ve never seen a more shameless man than this guy. At the same time, she exasperatedly said, “It doesn’t matter. We bought enough today anyway.”Only then did he seem satisfied. He twisted his hand out of her grip to hold her hand instead while pushing the shopping cart along as he continued onward. She watched as the corners of his mouth lifted into the faintest smile. It was hard for her to imagine his cold and indifferent appearance, and her heart softened even more.Finally, they pushed the shopping cart over to the cashier to chec

Kris was way more intelligent than Sasha. She pretended not to know who Sebastian was at the start so that she could take her time and create a good impression on him. Although this trick might work on ordinary old men, Sebastian had seen all sorts of tricks in his life. Therefore, he simply glanced at her indifferently before turning back to continue ringing the doorbell.She couldn’t help feeling somewhat humiliated when she saw that he was ignoring her. She was about to say something. At that moment, he muttered under his breath after being ignored despite ringing the doorbell several times, “Strange; what is going on? I clearly saw them heading here. Why is nobody answering the door? Could it be that they didn’t come here?”He had left the clubhouse out of boredom today. Thus, he asked his driver to turn the car around and head to the mall instead. He suddenly had a craving for fish, especially the steamed fish Myra made the other day. As soon as his car entered the underground pa
