If we were talking about it

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

No one in the world

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

You can’t just go back on your word

“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

I won’t let you get away

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

Then I would just keep waiting

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

You have to help me out

“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

No matter how you dress

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

Don’t you know

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

Your thoughts

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

Cherish a piece

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
