Although Myra still had something to say, Tony lowered his head to plant a kiss on her soft, pink lips. “I’ll be alright; I’m just trying to reassure you. After all, you’re now…” He rested his hand on her belly while smiling languidly. “All you have to do is take care of the baby you’re carrying. Just leave the rest up to me.”Upon noticing his confidence, Myra was feeling more relieved. Nonetheless, she turned to look at him. “No matter what happens, you’re not to hide anything from me or let me worry, okay?”“Okay.” Tony wrapped his left hand around her right hand, his eyes tender and jovial.…Meanwhile, Cameron picked up Sean’s call immediately after hanging up Tony’s call. “Sean…” He addressed Sean over the phone cordially as soon as he picked up. “Is something the matter that you’re calling me now?”Ever since being turned down by Myra, Sean had been feeling gloomy. When he heard Cameron’s voice, he frowned in displeasure, but gave a casual reply nonetheless. “Mr. Stark, let’s m

Some of the clips depicted Tony teaching Myra to play golf, the two of them sharing an intimate moment as they interacted. Other clips included a conversation between Tony and the old man from Bridgers Corporation, during which Tony expressed the fact that Myra had a unique place in his heart.Other than that, there were also clips that showed Tony turning Belle down in order to show his determination to get Myra. There was also a conversation between Myra and Belle after the latter caught on to Tony’s abnormal behavior toward Myra. When Belle tried to intimidate Myra, she denied having been associated with Tony at all.Indeed. Back then, Myra still had nothing to do with Tony, as she was still Sean’s wife. Therefore, she was still turning down Tony’s advances. What have I done to her back then? I blamed her for stealing trade secrets from Chase Group’s Hilliville project, and then hurt her because of Lyla. In the end, I even sent her to a detention center in order to sell off the Hil

Rachel marched in from outside, and the door slammed against the doorframe as she shut it behind her. Cameron’s face darkened as he gave her a cold glare. “Rachel… What’s going on? I don’t recall you making an appointment with me.”“Hah!” She gave him a sarcastic laugh as she headed directly toward the lounge in his office. It only took her one look to notice the video that had been playing on the TV. A rather dejected expression flickered across her face when she saw the figures on the screen, but she hastily curled her lips into a smirk. “We haven’t gotten a divorce, President Stark. I’m still your wife, so do I need to make an appointment just to see you?!”His face only turned darker when he saw her looking at the TV screen. “Well, you’re looking at me now. What do you want?” In the past two days, they had both gotten rid of their facades and exposed their ugliest sides to each other. From then on, Cameron no longer saw the need to put on a show in front of Rachel, and Rachel no l

“You can continue living the life you wish for. You can get married to that woman and move in with your beloved daughter. You all will be a warm and loving family…” Rachel used to work as a host, so she had her way with words. Her speech was constructed in a manner that targeted Cameron’s emotions. Indeed, he felt tempted for a moment, but any hint of weakness or struggle had left his gaze once he blinked and opened his eyes again.Instead, he narrowed his eyes and gave her a threatening glare. “It’d be bad for someone to eat an excessive amount of antipsychotics, but what has that got to do with me? Rachel, you should know that there’s no way out of your wrongs once you’ve committed an unforgivable sin. How are you going to benefit from sending me to jail?” His words had a hidden meaning to them, and he couldn’t stop himself from cackling after he was done with his sentence. Without taking another glance at Rachel, he simply walked out of the lounge. Did she think she’s the only one

Myra was puzzled. Did Sean come up with some new trick just to try to contact me? However, she decided to pick the call up after she heard what Sebastian said. “Hello?” She frowned as she spoke into the phone.A light, breathing sound came from the other end of the line. It sounded as if the other person didn’t know what to say, or it could also be that the person was contemplating whether to say anything at all. For some reason, Myra felt an uneasy feeling in her chest. She somehow sensed that the other person wasn’t Sean.“Hello? Who is this? Is there a reason you’re calling me?” Myra continued to speak on the phone, but the line was cut the moment she finished her sentence. She froze when her words were met with the beeping sound of the call being ended.“Who was it?” Tony asked.She shook her head as she stared at Tony and Sebastian confusedly. “I don’t know who it was. The person ended the call without saying anything.”“That doesn’t make sense. She said that she wanted to speak

“How much is my mother’s treatment fees going to cost, Doctor Randall?” Olivia bit onto her bottom lip worriedly.“I can’t give you an exact sum. The surgery and chemotherapy will cost about 600,000, and there will be extra charges for staying in the hospital as well.” The doctor, Alvin Randall, was aware that this was a large amount of money to ask from any regular family. He knew that Olivia’s family might not have enough savings, but there was nothing he could do to help.“Actually… Olivia, I told you about this in the afternoon. Your mother only has a 5% chance of recovery, so you’ll have to prepare yourself mentally.” Alvin finally gave her this reminder after some hesitation. He was trying to suggest something with his words, but the ultimate choice lay in the hands of the family members—they would have to decide if they wanted to proceed or give up with treatment. In such situations, the patients would often opt for giving up. However, Olivia had requested to hide the truth fro

Tony had a good memory—he quickly recalled who Cameron was referring to in the Bridgers Family. Sebastian had once matchmade Tony with Belle, the Young Lady of the Bridgers Family. However, Tony had intentionally called Myra over just to keep Belle away from him back then.“Make sure he doesn’t sell it…” Myra tugged onto Tony’s sleeve as she glanced at him frantically. The longing in her gaze that surfaced after she looked at her mother’s face in the video made one thing clear—Myra’s mind was an utter mess after she watched that video. All she thought of then was how guilty she’d feel toward her mother if Cameron were to sell the Stark Group off. Her breath quickened as she repeated herself. “Make sure he doesn’t sell the Stark Group off…”Sebastian had been in a state of confusion as he watched everything happening, but he quickly realized what was going on when he heard what Myra said to Tony. Cameron was the one who sent this USB over, and he was also the one who just called moment

“I’m clearly better than Sean—you know that now, don’t you?” Tony casually gave Myra a sideways glance. She was taken aback for a short moment, but she quickly giggled in response to his words. “Are you still troubled by the fact that I used to like Sean?”He raised an eyebrow, but he was relieved when he saw the playful look in her eyes. He was afraid that Myra would still be sad over her mother’s video, but he realized then that it didn’t take her too long to regulate her emotions.“I wonder how some heartless, ungrateful woman rejected me multiple times for the sake of a useless man like him.” Tony pinched Myra on her cheeks. He still felt a hint of anger whenever he recalled how Myra had rejected him a few times in the past. He lowered his gaze before he bit onto her lips then. “I can’t believe you even mentioned things about you enjoying a married life with Sean just for the sake of infuriating me.”Tony’s bite didn’t seem to hurt Myra at all, for her gaze was still filled with a

On the night of the banquet, Myra and Tony were dressed glamorously for the event—a sophisticated presentation was the best weapon on such occasions. The couple put on a solemn expression as they entered the venue. They knew that this invitation couldn’t be as simple as it seemed, so they had to be prepared to handle any situation seriously.Tony stole a glance at Myra who was beside him; she was wearing a turquoise dress which brought out her bright complexion wonderfully, making her look more beautiful than ever.Even though her waist wasn’t as slim as before, her current supple and full figure added a touch of womanly charm! The gown accentuated her elegant posture, and every move she made was filled with charisma befitting of a young mistress.Myra was able to recognize Matthias in the midst of the huge crowd after seeing his photo beforehand. She asked Tony in a low voice, “Should we go to him?”Tony was exchanging greetings with his fellow attendees, so he took a half-hearted gl
The next day, the sun was hanging high in the sky when Myra opened her eyes lazily. Tony was no longer with her in the room, but she took a sniff of the scent that he’d left behind on the comforter and smiled into the sheets contentedly.As she stretched, she reminded herself that it was a new day; any day with Tony by her side was worthy to look forward to.Time ticked by as Myra cleaned herself up just like always. She had woken up quite late today, and she felt a little embarrassed when she saw Old Master and Old Madam Hart downstairs.Moreover, Myra wanted nothing more than to bury herself in a hole when the two elders gave her a knowing smile.“Come, let’s eat—it’s getting late,” said the old lady as she smiled lovingly; she was getting more and more fond of this granddaughter-in-law of hers.Nonetheless, Myra liked living with the Harts—she could truly feel the warmth of a family in this household. Even though she was still feeling embarrassed, she didn’t want to drag on any lon
After the two of them had a brief discussion, Myra and Tony both changed into the casual clothes that the store had prepared beforehand. This was the first time Myra saw Tony in such clothing.“Focus. Don’t keep staring at me.” The corners of Tony’s lips lifted as he basked in Myra’s gaze.Her gaze had shifted to him; he looked oddly adorable dressed in such whimsical, youthful clothes with that face of his. Not only that, the tiny teddy bears printed on his shirt were just so cute. Myra wished to hug Tony, for it was rare to see him so adorable.As she retracted her gaze, Myra decided to listen attentively. They would need to start making the clothes later, and she didn’t want to embarrass herself.Meanwhile, Tony’s gaze swiveled to the side. Myra was dressed in a blouse like his shirt, and the teddy bear print brought out the youthfulness of her face. She was a gorgeous beauty with a nice smile.Lucia proceeded to carefully explain everything to them. She was a competent teacher, an
Myra looked forward to the future, and she worked with the flowers as she pleased. Since she was a designer, she possessed some talent in this aspect.Time flew by as she worked with the flowers while letting her mind wander, and it didn’t take long before it was lunchtime. Thinking that it was boring to have lunch alone, she packed her lunch and brought it to the hospital, for she planned to have lunch with Alicia and Olivia.Alicia’s mental condition had improved a little, whereas Olivia was delighted about Myra’s arrival. Secretly, she was eager to be close to her sister. “Sorry for troubling you, Myra.” She was very courteous.Myra looked at Olivia with gratification; she even thoughtfully brought a nutritionally rich soup here since Alicia needed to build up her health. “You don’t have to stand on ceremony with me. You have to take good care of yourself as well.” Seeing how thin and frail Olivia looked, she thought that Olivia needed some nourishment as well. Olivia is growing up
Cameron instantly looked hopping mad as he stared at the woman in front of him in disbelief. His Alicia used to be such a meek woman by his side, yet she became so steely only a few days after befriending Myra! “Don’t joke with me, Alicia. This matter is very serious. I—”“Does it look like I’m joking with you?” Alicia lifted the corners of her mouth while looking at the man in front of her; his face looked as though the sky had collapsed. “Today is Monday, President Stark. You have to go back to your company for a meeting, don’t you? As it happens, it appears that the Stark Group will be holding a shareholders’ meeting. Let’s see how many shares Myra can produce by then.”“You!” Cameron took a step back in shock as he felt he couldn’t understand the woman in front of him anymore. When he came to his senses, he suddenly pounced on Alicia. “You crazy woman! Are you trying to ruin me?! Is this how you repay me after how I’ve treated you in the past?!”Alicia was shocked after being sudd
Furthermore, Olivia was only a kid no more than 13 years old, so it was undeniable that Myra felt somewhat sorry for her.As he ignored the look of annoyance in Sebastian’s eyes, Tony took Myra into his arms and kissed her forehead. He then comforted her and said, “My Myra is very kind-hearted. Olivia is a good kid, so you’ll come to like this younger sister.”In truth, Tony also thought that Myra was severely lacking in familial affection. He wouldn’t expect that father of hers to show her a bit of familial affection, whereas both her mother and grandfather had passed away; besides, none of her mother’s relatives had ever come to her. Even though she looked tough on the outside, she was very vulnerable on the inside. She also longed for familial affection and her family’s company.“Well, I could tell that she’s nice.” Myra paused for a moment. “Did you bring her mother to Bradfort City?”“Yeah, I did.” Tony nodded. At the mention of this, his expression was slightly grave. “Her mothe
Despite the complicated look in Myra’s eyes, she didn’t put out her hand immediately. “This document…”When she saw that Myra seemed unhappy, Olivia became nervous at once. She thought to herself, Would Myra think that I’ve gone too far by doing this? I sent the document over despite knowing that it was never mine and my mom’s in the first place; would she misunderstand me because of this? “I don’t mean anything else. Myra… Miss Stark…” Fearing that she might have addressed Myra in an overly familiar way, she addressed Myra in a more formal way despite her disappointment. Then, she held the document out further to Myra. “This isn’t mine and my mom’s in the first place—this is yours. I’m only bringing this to you in hopes that this might be of help to you…”As she noticed how the little girl’s face flushed and blanched by turns in trepidation, Myra felt sorry for her for a moment. After all, this girl and her mother were innocent. After looking at this document, she gave a sigh. “Just
How would that person know you’re in this room at this hotel if you didn’t tell him so?” Hayden’s face was somewhat distorted. “Do you know what I did in the lobby just now before coming up?”“What did you do?” Kris asked subconsciously.Hayden smiled with a trace of cruelty and concealed agony. “I spoke to the hotel attendant and asked when this room was booked; I also asked if it had been reserved beforehand. Guess what the attendant said to me?”A sense of dread rose in Kris’s heart. She asked in a quavering voice, “What did they say?”“According to them, the guest did not reserve the room beforehand—in fact, this room was booked half an hour ago.” Hayden suddenly stretched out his hand and lifted Kris’s chin. He stared straight into her eyes, tightened his grip on her chin, and suddenly shook her off. “How could you be so cheap, Kris?!”Since she was unprepared this time, Kris fell heavily to the ground. She only felt a pain in her belly, but what frightened her even more was that
Despite her impatience, Kris walked outside as she replied, “I got it, Mom!” She then thought to herself, What does she mean by saying that Hayden is my only bargaining chip? The tide will turn when I manage to carry on with Tony!…When Myra came out of the bathroom, she saw that her man had just finished taking a shower. With a bath towel wrapped around his waist, he sat on the edge of their bed and tinkered with his cell phone while baring his strong and sturdy upper body.When she went over, she happened to hear the sound of a screenshot being taken. She lifted an eyebrow, walked up to him, and took a glance at his cell phone’s screen. “What are you doing?”Tony froze slightly at that moment, but he quickly locked his cell phone in an unperturbed manner. Then, he held her in his arms and took a deep sniff of her neck. He said with a chuckle, “You smell so nice, honey.”“Who were you texting just now?” Myra noticed from the fleeting glance earlier that Tony was chatting with someon
