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

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

“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

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

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
