yla didn’t end up letting Sean send her home. She put on a considerate front as she told him that she understood he was quite busy with work, so she didn’t want him to rush around and tire himself. When Sean heard that, his heart softened. He gave her a kiss and escorted her to a waiting taxi while telling her to be careful. He then watched the taxi drive off before turning around to look at Stark Tower.Myra has changed so drastically and I sure didn’t expect that. I thought that she would remain steadfast in her love for me despite how I’ve hurt her. Turns out that all her affections were only an act. In fact, she probably never did love me as deeply as she portrayed.After coming to the realization, Sean clenched both fists tightly and he gave a last look at Stark Tower with his dark, brooding eyes before he turned around and left.Meanwhile, Lyla did not make her way home after parting ways with Sean.As soon as the driver drove a slight distance away, she looked at the driver as

“Don’t be fooled by Myra, Director Hart. She’s—”“It seems as if you don’t understand what I’ve said, Miss Fisher.” Lyla could see the dark anger that flashed in Tony’s eyes as he said that, even though his expression remained unchanged.Her nails were digging so deeply into her palms that she thought the skin on it would tear. She opened her mouth to say something, but words deserted her. Then, she heard the sound of the door opening behind her before it was followed by approaching footsteps. Leo’s voice was stoic as he said, “Miss Fisher, please.’She bristled. She glared at him before turning to look at Tony incredulously. However, Tony did not glance at her anymore.Lyla could feel herself breaking into cold sweat. I shouldn’t have said those things to Tony, at least not for the time being…“Director Hart, I’m just trying to look out for you. Please don’t think otherwise. Director Hart—” Tony frowned before she could finish her sentence, prompting Leo to immediately seize her by t

Myra glowered at the middle-aged man before her. If she had bristled when he patted her shoulder, then she was now fuming after he had brushed his pinky finger against the back of her hand.Meanwhile, Thomas seemed unfazed and the smile on his face was warm and polite as he cajoled, “We should finish the rest of the wine, Miss Stark. It’s getting late and we ought to head home soon.”The others in the private room were oblivious to her anger. Even Tilly was beaming as she moved to clink glasses with everyone, the remaining wine in her glass sloshing as she did so.Myra’s gaze darkened as grim realization dawned upon her. It had been far too easy for them to secure the project today. Genevieve was supposed to be with them, as well, but she was called away at the very last minute.Things are not as simple as they seem, Myra thought.“Miss Stark? Miss Stark?” Thomas called out for her twice and only then did she snap out of her thoughts. She did not know why she felt sleepy all of a sudd

By the time she woke up, Tony had already arrived outside her apartment.The moment she opened her eyes, which were still bleary with sleep, she was immediately cradled in his firm embrace once more as he carried her into the building.His arms were like a warm cage containing her scent. She was fully awake now and she clung onto the front of his shirt as she quietly buried her face into his chest, breathing in and growing attached to his familiar scent.Tony tightened his grip on her as they made their way through the green boulevard and toward the apartment lobby. They then ran into an anxious Estelle, who had been waiting outside the building.Estelle had been feeling uneasy ever since she saw Kris earlier that afternoon. After she found out that Myra was going to meet up with Thomas for dinner at Zion Club, she had cajoled Shawn into going as well.When Shawn called Estelle earlier to inform her of what had happened, she had wanted to go up to Kris and give her a good beating.It

Rachel tried to calm Cameron down while winking at her daughter.When Kris received her mother’s hint, she bit on her lips while her eyes turned red, as if she was forcing her tears back.“Dad, what I did today was truly reckless, but it was Thomas who begged me to do it at first. He said that he has admired Myra for a long time, so he hoped that I could help him get closer to her. Also, I have always been afraid of her snatching the shares of the Stark Group from your hands through Tony’s support. After all, we all clearly know her ambitions. With that in mind, I did all of this for you, Dad…”“For me?” Cameron’s face grew colder as his eyes were filled with disdain. “You think I don’t know what you are actually thinking of? Kris, I’m happy that you don’t want your sister to get the shares of the Stark Group, but don’t forget that she is still my daughter—no matter how much you hate her. She is your own sister! How could you do something like this to hurt her? If you are able to plot
