With a heavy feeling in her heart, Myra touched her belly as she remembered the person who shoved her in the elevator. It seems like Sunnyโs miscarriage is not a mere accident.Tony came to pick her up at the end of the workday. She had deliberately asked him coyly to head upstairs to meet her.He did not think too much about her request. When both of them walked into the elevator, she heaved a sigh when those outside did not follow them in.After they went down and entered his car, she spoke as she buckled her seatbelt, โCan we go to the hospital today? One of my secretaries in the secretary department sufferered a miscarriage earlier today. I am want to visit her.โA shocked Tony scooted over to kiss her cheeks as he nodded. โArenโt you scared?โMyra hesitated for a moment before she nodded. โA little, especially when I heard that she had a miscarriage.โ In fact, it was not just a littleโshe was quite fearful because she had an ominous feeling. She was still shocked and scared after
โLet me tell you thisโdonโt even think about taking half of our assets when you are out with other men!โ Eve had finally witnessed Lylaโs true character after she witnessed Lyla staying at another manโs place for a long time. Sheโs such a hypocrite! While sheโs claiming to be in love with my son, she secretly sleeps with another man! How did we welcome such a shameless woman into our family? โI have already recorded your meeting with the man from yesterday. Letโs see what your excuses are this time!โLylaโs expression immediately changed. โEve, did you follow me again?โ At this point, she did not bother to be respectful to Eve anymore.Eve merely let out a cold snort. โIf I didnโt follow you, I wouldnโt have known all the dirty things you have done. You shameless woman! I shall see how youโll walk into the abyss step by step!โWith that, Eve turned angrily to leave.Even if she could do nothing against Lyla at this moment, she could have an opportunity to use the evidence in the futur
โAre you trying to sell yourself despite your looks?โ Tony cruelly asked through his pursed thin lips.Upon seeing that Gemmaโs expression changed drastically when she heard that, he tightened his grip. It caused her to immediately scream in pain, โRelease me! Let go of meโฆ You are hurting meโฆ TonyโฆโโGemmaโโ He shoved her hand away ruthlessly and she stumbled a few steps backward. His gaze was cold and distant when he glared at the fearful woman in front of him. โEven if you are the only woman alive on earth, I would rather choose to be alone without a woman.โThe color drained from Gemmaโs face and a wave of humiliation washed The over her. Tears started to brim in her eyes as she felt sorry for herself. โTony, I just want to help you to release your frustrations because I know that Myra is pregnant now and you just canโtโฆ You justโฆโ She appeared especially hurt at that point. โShe is pregnant now, so I am sure that you have been feeling frustrated. I have accepted realityโI will n
If one were to guess what kind of situation Eve would hate the most, the current circumstances would most probably be itโafter being chased out of the Chase Family, not only did Myra not plunge down the social ladder. Instead, she joined the Hart Family, which had a much better social standing than the Chase Family. Besides, both Sebastian and Lisa seemed especially fond of Myra too.Eve wasnโt really fond of Myra, so she did not feel any loss with Myraโs departure from the Chase Family. She had no intentions of having Myra rejoin the Chase Family either, but it just felt like a gaping hole. Why is somebody whom I have cast aside like an old shoe regarded like a treasure by the Hart Family? It almost feels like Myra has deliberately joined the Hart Family to taunt me. It also feels like a slap in my face.Eveโs expression stiffened the moment she saw the three of them. She was just about to turn to leave, but she figured it would look especially petty. She did not want others to assum
It turned out that Gemma and Tony had an argument at the underground parking lot. She was blinded by anger, so she crashed her vehicle into his sports car. Coincidentally, a big truck was driving by, which meant that he could have noticed her speeding in his direction. He was left with no choice, but to accelerate forward to make an emergency turn. However, due to the sudden turn and the close proximity to the big truck, he crashed into it despite turning as quickly as he could. He may not have sustained fatal wounds, but he suffered from multiple severe injuries.On the other hand, Gemma was in a much more severe condition because her driving skills were not on par with Tony. When she was driving toward him, she saw him making a turn with his car, but she did not do that in time. Hence, she crashed right into the big truck in front of her. By the time the ambulance arrived, Leo had heard from the doctor that she was at the brink of death.Upon learning that she was still in the opera
Myra initially wanted to jeer at Tonyโs behavior as a patient. However, her heart ached when she was reminded that his arms were injured. Hence, she gently fed him.Not long after breakfast, Elliot and Tilly walked into Tonyโs hospital room one after another.Tilly was slightly shy in the beginning and her cheeks were slightly red from blushing. Nevertheless, she might have been surprised because she cried out in shock after noticing Tonyโs injuries. She forgot about her embarrassment now that she was with Elliot. โMiss Stark, is Director Hart severely injured?โMyra noticed Tilly avoiding his hand when he tried to hold hers. The two of them clearly shared an intimate and suggestive relationship, but Myra was too distracted by Tonyโs car accident. Therefore, she wasnโt in the mood to focus on other issues. Upon hearing that, she looked up at Tony, who wore an indifferent facial expression. โThey arenโt fatal injuries. The doctor said that he will recuperate after resting for some time
โStop creating more trouble when things are already in such a terrible state. You are responsible for consoling Gemma when she wakes up. You must not tell her about her disfigurement. Just tell her that she will recover with plastic surgery. As for her handsโโ Edward glanced at Gemmaโs heavily bandaged hands and his heart sank. โDo not tell her that she will be disabled. Just inform her that she will recover and she should focus on recuperating right now.โAfter listening to Edward, Shelly cried without answering him. Hence, he asked again in a harsh manner, โDid you hear me?!โ He poked the floor hard with his crutch and it thumped loudly.She shivered whereas Samuel glared unhappily while pressing his lips into a thin line. Finally, her lips parted to mumble in agreement, โYeah.โAfter that, Edward turned to look at Samuel and Gideon. โSamuel, we shouldnโt delay the Central Square project any longer. You must not get distracted now and focus on the project instead. As for Gideon, eas
It so happened that the four members of the Walton Family were in Gemmaโs room when she received the writ of summons. Upon reading the contents of the document, Edward almost fainted out of anger.We, the Waltons, are acquainted with the Hart Family. This time, it is undoubtedly Gemmaโs fault, but everybody could tell that she has paid the price for her actions. On the contrary, the brat, Tony, will be just fine after recuperating for some time. However, he is adamant on suing Gemma; heโs not bothered about the shared acquaintanceship between the two families at all. If this is leaked to the public, the Walton Family will suffer tremendously in Bradford City.When the Walton Family barged into Tonyโs room, Myra was leaning against his bedside. His arm, which was not badly injured, had only slightly recovered, but he was already fooling around by insisting on her lying down beside him. It was at this time when the door to his ward was slammed open with a bang. She jumped in shock and i
(Final Chapter)However, before Myra could digest the incidents, a knock on the door emerged again. Zayneโs eyes lit up at once as he reckoned it was most probably Jason this time.Sure enough, Jason appeared in front of them with injuries. Leon found Jason rather unfamiliar as it was natural for one to not remember a driverโs appearance.โYouโre finally here, Jason!โ Heather exclaimed in surprise upon seeing him as she had waited for him for a long time.โZayne Lee.โ With a cold look, Jason walked up to Zayne and tilted his head to look at him. โStop acting. I know youโre not injured.โZayne stared at Jason awkwardly as he had not expected to be seen through by Jason so easily. Meanwhile, the others glanced toward Zayne in shock.โCongratulations. Your plan to lure the enemy out has succeeded. Now, I can tell you with certainty that the mastermind behind all these is Caleb Moriarty.โ It was very rare for Jason to spit out such a long sentence.The others were not surprised upon heari
Since the situation had escalated to this point, they could only fight to their death, and Matthias was prepared for the battle. Even though the opponent was one of the top killers in the world, it was not an issue at all for Matthias to protect himself. However, it would be an arduous task to protect Zayne, the patient, at the same time.Matthias decided to be the vanguard and asked Leon to stay by Zayneโs side while he guarded the door vigilantly. They didnโt know when the killer would discover them, so Matthias had to guard the door well.Meanwhile, Heather kept increasing the fareโs price to the driver, hoping that she would be able to find Jason as soon as possible. Looking at the GPS, she became more flustered when they got closer to the destination. She was perturbed as the truth was about to be revealed, and she was all the more anxious at the thought of the critical situation in the hospital. Even if she successfully found Jason now, there was not enough time to rush back to
Since when has Leon become this caring? Lying on the bed, Zayne really wished to turn to lie on his side. Due to the anesthetics, he didnโt feel much pain; he just felt uncomfortable because he couldnโt stretch his body. Nevertheless, he wasnโt hoping for anyone to understand his feelings at this moment. He attempted to move his body as he was worried if he had actually become handicapped.Leon glanced at Zayne in puzzlement, wondering what he was struggling about. Zayne didnโt seem to be in a good situation, but Leon had no idea how to help him. The two of them faced each other while Leon stared at Zayne with an inquiring look, but he still couldnโt understand what was on Zayneโs mind.It was only until Matthias came into the ward did the standstill between the two come to an end. Leon stood up and stared at Matthias. At that moment, all three of them were at a loss for words as an awkward atmosphere arose in the ward.Alas, Leon spoke up and broke the ice. โIโm going to buy oranges
The atmosphere surrounding the two men was extremely intense. Matthias didnโt want to cause more trouble at this moment, so he took a few steps back and attempted to keep a distance away from Leon.Leon understood Matthiasโ intention. He smirked and said in a sarcastic manner, โPresident Locke, I heard youโve been keeping a woman recently.โMatthias freaked out upon hearing his words. So Leonโs actually mad because of this. Matthias couldnโt think of an appropriate explanation. Staring at Leonโs eyes, he knew Leon might not buy his words even if he explained them to him.โYou actually believed those rumors?โ Matthias said justly. He didnโt intend to explain the details to Leon, nor did he want to be maligned.โIโve seen you and the woman together with my own eyes.โ If it wasnโt that Leon had seen it himself, he wouldnโt be this suspicious of Matthias.Matthias looked at Leon in resignation. It seems like heโs really concerned about Heatherโs mattersโheโs still bothered about these thi
Heather walked toward the main road while pondering. Judging by the traffic of the cars that were passing by on the busy road, she had a feeling it would be very hard for her to get a cab at this moment. Hence, she was starting to get a headache just by staring at the noisy street.She reckoned no drivers would be willing to accept a booking at times like these but she still decided to give it a tryโonly now did she suddenly realize the importance of owning a car.But alas, the fastest way she could think of was to increase the offer price. She believed there would definitely be drivers who were willing to accept her booking as long as she offered a price that was high enough. However, she worried that the cabs were too far away.True enough, when Heather opened the ride-hailing app, there were no drivers around the area. She wished she could get a driver by offering a huge stack of money, but sometimes, there were situations that even money couldnโt solve.When a driver finally accep
Ever since he stepped foot in Bradfort City, Zayne had nothing but problem after problem piled on his plate. This time, he looked for trouble himself. Matthiasโ situation was already far beyond what Zayne could handle, and Jason knew that the latter was barely holding on.After Matthias had left, Jason descended into worry. He looked at Zayne, his face a little on the pale side. Neither brother had managed to reach an agreement. Jason completely did not approve of what Zayne was doing, and the conflict between them could blow up at any moment.The atmosphere was loaded like a powder keg. Both menโs expressions were tense, and it seemed as though things would break down the next second. Jason moved and took a step forward, whereas Zayne curled his hands into fists. The situation was both awkward and tense.Jason continued to march forward. Zayne could find no reason to make him stay, so he helplessly watched as Jason left the room. He looked at his younger brother, his lips faintly qui
Anger was still anger in the end, and Heather wasnโt someone who would cling to someone unreasonably either. She knew that Leon wouldnโt have hung up on her so easily, and it seemed that he was extremely tired.After her call with Leon ended, Zayne texted her. She played the video clip that he had sent to her, but she wasnโt sure how to react to it. Not only that, Heather didnโt know how he had managed to get his hands on this firsthand informationโthe venue in the clip was where the Locke Groupโs board of directors were currently at.Heather took notice of Matthias in an instant. When she saw him there all by himself, she suddenly felt that he needed to be protected as well. Sometimes, she really couldnโt get a handle on him as her heart ached for Matthias.However, Heather couldnโt bring herself to examine her conscience even though she could sense that Matthias was under a lot of pressure. She had only watched a few seconds of the video clip, but her heartstrings were already being
At that moment, any further exchange would simply be pointless. The day had barely started, yet it was already so disastrous. The next hours would be even more so.The more Zayne wanted her to admit it, the more resistant she was to do so. With a stiff face, she responded, โItโs his personal affairs. Why should I care?โWhen he heard her bold words, Zayne had a hard time holding back his laugh, for he was astounded by how persistent she was. Heather was so reluctant to admit it, so he didnโt want to pursue the matter any further. Since she felt that way, he shall have it her way.โWhatโs your plan today?โ As he went off on a tangent, Zayne started to chatter casually. Heather felt that there had to be an underlying meaning behind his words, so she shot him a deadly glare.On the other hand, Zayne stared at her calmly, and he thought her petite look was extremely adorable. She must be dwelling on nonsense again!โOther than locking myself in here, what else can I possibly plan for? I l
In the freezing night, Matthias stared at the mansion in front of him with not a trace of anger. Since it belonged to the Lockes, it will no longer mean anything to him from now on. Should I say goodbye?Ever since Evan left, the residence had been especially quiet at night. Having lost his attachment to the mansion, he coldly gazed at the building as if the entire area only had one residence.Despite his desire to walk in, he stopped himself outside the home. After all, he was now truly alone after pushing everyone else away.At this moment, he sensed a fragrance of blossoms wafting in the air. He tried to locate the source but to no avail. Surprisingly, such a subtle aroma somehow matched the winter so well. As he took in the scent, he was reminded of the countless incidents, wondering when they would finally end.What surprised him was the fact that the family head had yet to look for him since he left the Locke Group, and that made him feel rather peaceful as the head seemed to ha
