This isn’t a dowry

They lied; they all lied to me!They told me plastic surgery would help and they said my face would be back to normal after going through surgery! However, it’s all lies and now they’re going to trick me into leaving the country! Grandpa, Dad, Mom, and Gideon… They’re all going to give up on me so they’ve all been keeping this a secret from me!At this moment, Gemma’s heart ached painfully and she hated the situation she was in. At the same time, she felt despondent and fearful of the scar on her face. I don’t want to be like this forever and I want to regain my beauty. I just want my pretty face back!She ran out from the hospital room and headed straight to Tony’s room. I need to see him right away and I want to tell him that my disfigurement is because of him! If he hadn’t provoked and angered me or made that sudden sharp turn, I wouldn’t have crashed into the truck that was parked in front. If all that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have ended up looking like such a monstrosity right

You must trust me, alright?

“Are you going on a trip? Will it be a long one?” Myra felt quite uneasy.Tony squeezed her hand and laughed. “I’ll definitely bring you and our child along if I have to go on a trip.”“Then what’s going on?” Myra stared at the document placed by her hand with a confused look on her face.At that moment, Tony seemed to sense her uneasy feeling; he curled his lips into a smile and suddenly stared at her squarely in the eyes while asking, “Myra, what if I’ve decided to go after the Stark Group? Will you feel upset about this?”“What?” Myra wondered if she misheard Tony’s words and her eyes widened in surprise.As soon as he saw her expression, he couldn’t control himself; he let out a deep, rumbling laughter and patted her on the head. “No matter what happens, you must trust me, alright?”…On the other end, Gemma had intended to make her way to the Hart Group. She hailed a waiting cab then covered her head with her clothes and entered the car. Upon arriving at the destination, she got

Sudden drastic change

Hayden patted Kris on the back lightly. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling better now?”Kris shook her head. Looking up, she caught sight of her own reflection in the mirror. Currently, there was a dazed look on her face as she realized that this had happened on and off recently. Initially, she had assumed that she was just slightly under the weather so she didn’t pay much attention to it. However, this time, it suddenly hit her that it had been more than two months since she had had her period.Just then, she felt goosebumps all over and she pushed Hayden aside to make her way into the bedroom.He ran after her frantically. “Kris, what’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Let’s go to the hospital right away!”Kris took a few steps forward in a hurry but as soon as she noticed that Hayden was right at her heels, she stopped in her tracks all of a sudden. And so, Hayden waited in front of her expectantly. She smiled forcefully at him as she muttered, “I’m fine. I think I must have eaten

I thought you said you love me

So this is how things are right now—six months ago, we started work on the Green Palms Project and things had been going perfectly fine until this morning, when I was told that the budget for the project was embezzled. The police have launched an investigation into this incident.The contractor appointed to complete the job was just a shell company and the director is no longer contactable; so far, the police haven’t apprehended anyone but news of this has already gone out to the public. The Green Palms Project is a major project and we have already pre-sold many units. Right now, our phones are ringing off the hook from all the phone calls made by these clients. If we can’t fill this deficit and continue with the construction works on the project, then we will be facing a huge lawsuit…”Cameron broke out in cold sweat upon describing the situation to Myra. This had happened all of a sudden without prior warning, which was why they were caught by surprise and were completely unprepare

Now, you are after my man

Kris hurriedly replied, “Dad, I’ll go over to the Walton Group right away. Don’t worry; I’ll definitely be able to convince Gideon to help you!”Cameron nodded in response and he waved her off tiredly. Meanwhile, Kris nodded at Rachel and headed out of the door.This is such an unexpected surprise! I’ve managed to ask for help from the Walton Group and Gideon already, but I just purposely wanted Dad to see Myra’s true colors. After he sought help from her and got rejected, it obviously further emphasized my willingness to help. This time, Gideon had agreed to Kris’ request without any qualms and she felt quite pleased with his performance too. Turns out that Gideon’s quite dependable during critical moments like these!…Kris made her way to the Walton Group and headed straight toward Gideon’s office under the guise of seeking help. However, just before she walked into his office, she was stopped in her tracks by his secretary who awkwardly said, “Miss Stark, Mr. Walton has a visitor

Tony you were quite busy

Did you see Mrs. Walton’s expression?” Myra felt that she had become quite mean but she couldn’t help gloating upon recalling Shelly’s expression earlier. “Did you know that she rang me a while ago and said she wanted to meet me? I didn’t agree to meet her though, so I reckon she must be quite pissed off with me. Furthermore, seeing me walk in with her daughter’s beloved man today must be quite upsetting for her!”Perhaps it was because Myra was bored from staying home all the time so now that she was out in public, she behaved quite mischievously.Tony looked into her sparkling eyes and his lips curved into a soft smile. However, he raised his eyebrows quizzically. “She called you?” Obviously, Myra had initially kept this a secret from him.Just then, it hit her that she had spilled the beans. Blinking, she looked at Tony with an innocent look and placed her head on his shoulder. “Tony, you were quite busy with work previously, so I didn’t bring it up as I didn’t want to bother you,”

I won’t be a burden

Shelly did not like Kris at all and she might even go so far as to say she detested her. She could tell that the woman was only dating Gideon to gain something from the rest of the Walton Family. The only reason why she had yet to confront Kris was because Gideon had told her not to, but that didn’t stop Shelly from throwing pointed looks at the woman every now and then.Presently, upon seeing that Kris was about to muck things up, Shelly shot her a stern look, as though silently telling her to pull it together. Catching the older woman’s frosty gaze, Kris managed a nonchalant façade, though her fists clenched tightly at her sides. She gritted her teeth as she thought grimly, Once I get everything I want, I’m going to cut off all ties with the Walton Family and I won’t have to take any crap from this old woman ever again!The next moment, she was holding onto Gideon’s arm as they made their rounds in the banquet hall to greet the guests. She looked pale despite the smile that was firm

If you want to beat him

They drew a collective sigh of sympathy for the two Hart brothers. They’ve fallen far too deep.Presently, Tony had a lazy grace about him after he had teased Myra. He had shed the cold and curt demeanor with which he had addressed Gideon previously. Myra, on the other hand, was blushing furiously all the way down to her neck. She stomped her foot in frustration and she looked as though she was about to say something, but decided against it when she remembered that they were not alone. Feeling resigned, she glared at him mutely instead.Elliot interjected with a chuckle as he joked, “We could always turn a blind eye if you want to beat him up, Mrs. Hart.”Myra was at a loss for words and she flushed at the teasing remark. Tony was pleased to see the effect he had on her and he chuckled in a low tone. He eyed the others insouciantly as he pulled her into his arms, holding her head against his chest as he said, “Alright, alright; stop teasing her.” He knew that she would die of embarras

Did you just say

The women who were closest to the scuffle began to shriek in alarm and the whole room descended into chaos.Myra and Estelle were about to make their way over when Tony and Shawn held them back. While there was no harm for Estelle to scope out the melee, Myra was in a far more precarious situation. After all, she was pregnant and it wasn’t ideal for her to risk getting bumped into by someone else.At the thought that she was now a pregnant woman, Myra sighed in frustration and stood in place obediently.Meanwhile, Elliot, Philip and the others had sauntered over to the scene of the ruckus. They appeared to be mitigating the fight but from what Myra heard, they sounded as though they were spurring them on backhandedly.“Come on; aren’t we all friends here? You might even end up as business partners in the future. I’m sure you could talk things out. Besides, Mr. Fuller might just be a good friend of Miss Stark’s and he was probably acting out of instinct when he caught her as she fainte

They were just counterfeit

Shelly’s eyes widened visibly, but before she could say anything else, Gideon stopped her from speaking as his countenance shifted. “Mom, this is not the time to talk about this.”Upon hearing that, Shelly could feel herself trembling while she took in the sight of the crowd who seemed eager for a show. She was already feeling dizzy because of the overwhelming situation. Kris Stark, that b*tch! She lied to us! The two-month-old child doesn’t even belong to Gideon, but another scoundrel!She wished she could abort the baby right then and there. Fortunately, we got to know this early on! That b*tch has been hiding the truth from us. Is she waiting for us to take on the baby as our own? If that really happened, then the Walton Family would be raising someone else’s child!The mere thought of it was enough to rile Shelly up. “Gideon, the Waltons will not invest in the Green Palms Project that the Starks are working on! You have to listen to me this time!” Shelly yelled. How dare Kris do t
