Myra snuggled closer into the embrace and found another comfortable position. Finally, she sank into a deep sleep again.Philip was witnessing the scene in front of him—the man among their group of friends who was most uninterested in women was now hugging a woman gently.If he did not see this with his own eyes, he would have thought he had entered another fantasy.“Tony, I’m going to give an injection to this lady.”Philip gulped and waved the injection syringe that was filled with medicine in front of him. However, Tony’s face darkened immediately.“She’s having a fever. This is the quickest way to let her fever go down.”Philip did not dare to wave the syringe around anymore. He merely touched his nose as he explained it to Tony innocently.I’m just giving her an injection! I’m not going to hurt her!Seeing the way he hugs her preciously, it seems as though he will kill me off if I dare to hurt the woman in his arms.Tony gently pulled Myra slightly further from his arms and nodde

As soon as she opened the door of the mansion, Greta’s voice rang out.“You are finally back, Young Mistress Myra! When Madam called you last night, your phone was switched off. Mr. Chase looked for you for the entire night and he just returned to his study not long ago. They were so worried for you! Madam only went upstairs to sleep at three in the morning.”Myra felt slightly guilty upon hearing that. “Last night, I… stayed at my friend’s place and my phone ran out of battery, so I didn’t get their calls.”Of course, I can’t let them know that I stayed the night at Tony’s place.Greta nodded as she handed a thin blanket to Myra and winked at her as she hinted, “I saw Mr. Chase asleep in the study just now. I found a blanket for him so that he won’t catch a cold. Now that you are back, you can hand it to him, Young Mistress Myra.”Holding the blanket in her hands, Myra stood frozen to the spot.She knew that Greta meant well. In this house, both Greta and Eve always tried to make Sea

“How dare you?” Elsie was livid.It was a huge blow to me when Sean brought up the news of breaking up with me that night. Initially, I wanted to salvage the relationship in the morning, but he warned me that I would have to leave the Chase Group if I do not behave myself. I do not want to leave the Chase Group at all. I still have a chance if I stay here but everything will be ruined if I leave. Furthermore, the woman who is standing in front of me is the culprit! If it weren’t for her, why would Sean accuse me of not making a clear distinction between work and my personal matters before breaking up with me? Elsie gritted her teeth in anger.Myra’s phone rang at that moment, so she looked away from Elsie to answer the call. It so happened that the phone call was from Logan. He sounded very polite and he spoke with Myra respectfully. “Miss Stark, may I know if you are free after three today?”Elsie commented sarcastically, “He is even phoning you now, but you have the audacity to clai

When everyone turned to look at her, Myra apologized and she silenced her phone. She checked her phone screen and her hand shook automatically—it was a phone call from Sean.Hence, she canceled the call without giving anything away.However, her phone started vibrating right after she canceled the call. The urgency of the phone call made it seem as if the calls would continue coming in if she refused to answer it.When Myra looked up, she happened to lock eyes with Sasha’s meaningful gaze. Sasha reassured her in a gentle voice, “Don’t worry, Myra. Head out to answer the call; we will wait for you and start the meal after you are back.”Myra saw Tony looking over at her from the corner of her eyes. She then stood up and excused herself apologetically, “Please excuse me; I have to go and answer this phone call but I’ll be back in a bit.”She answered the call once she left the private room. Sean’s deep and gloomy voice spoke to her from the other end of the line. “Where are you?”Myra f

At that moment, Sean’s eyes were as cold as that of his in the photograph.Myra was stunned to silence by his violent outburst. By the time she glanced at Sean’s fist, it was already trickling with blood due to the broken glass from the photo frame.She forced herself to look away while laughing bitterly. “It is enough that I’m lying to myself and everyone else. Why would you lie to yourself? For the past two years, you have been looking for her shadow from all the women you have been with. I am sure that you have noticed that too—Eris’ lips, Elsie’s eyes… Sean, you can tell me if you do not love me. As long as you are still in love with Lyla, I can even help you find her. I—”“I told you that I no longer have feelings for that woman!” Sean cut Myra off while hissing in frustration. I wonder if he is speaking to me or to himself.His eyes were cold and distant while he regarded her, as though he would skin her alive if she were to comment further.Myra trembled involuntarily while gri
