Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 140

“Nonsense!”

“Nonsense!”

Two different voices said the same thing.

Myra stared at Lyla, who had been quiet since earlier. This woman has become even more gorgeous than before. After all, she has managed to get between my relationship with Sean and replaced me. All of her tactics have succeeded.

Suddenly, she leaned closer to Lyla and said faintly, “Miss Fisher, you’ve racked your brains just to be with Sean. However, the heavens are keeping watch on the wicked and the good. One day, you’ll accidentally expose your cloven foot.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Approached by Myra, Lyla shrank and buried herself in Sean’s arms in fear. “Myra, you’ve betrayed us so many times. Even though Sean accidentally put you in prison, there’s no need for you to hate us like this, is there? Your debt to us… has been written off.”

Noticing that Lyla was hiding in his embrace out of her fear toward Myra, Sean looked right at the latter’s cold gaze. “Myra, we didn’t know you’d be here when we decided to come today.”

“I came here without knowing you guys would be here too. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t want to run into you guys either.”

After Myra said that, she turned around and left. When she was about to leave, her eyes caught Eve, who seemed to have something to say. Quickly, she added, “Please don’t try to stop me again, Mrs. Chase. I know your son is popular, but he’s nothing to me now.” Then, she walked toward the hotel.

Behind her, Eve and Sean’s expressions got ugly. They didn’t expect Myra to turn into a different person after the divorce.

“She… She’s… getting on my nerves!” Eve’s hands were shaking. “I treated her with all my heart in the past. How can she turn her back on me after the divorce? Sean, from now on, you can’t get involved with her anymore!” Her chest was heaving with anger.

Sean’s expression clouded. When Myra said that he no longer meant anything to her, he was embarrassed. Yet, the corners of his mouth curved into a disdainful grin. She’s only trying to act calm. Let’s see how long she can stay that way!

“Hmm,” he replied to his mother indifferently.

Right after Eve finished her words, she took a glance at the Ritz Carlton.

Ritz Carlton was the largest hotel in Bradfort City. Pomp and circumstance were its distinctive characteristics. Its annual profit was no less than that of a medium-sized company. But, what did Myra say earlier?

‘Fifty percent of the Ritz Carlton belongs to me. I have the right to stand here more than anyone else.’

When Eve recalled the manager of the Ritz Carlton treating Myra politely, her expression immediately sank. How come Myra never mentioned to us that she owns fifty percent of the Ritz Carlton?

Myra was down in the dumps after she ran into Eve and the others. Standing outside Conan’s office, she took a long, deep breath. After she shook off her bad mood, she knocked on the door.

“Come in.” A hoarse voice rose from inside.

When Myra heard the voice, her heart softened, and she felt upset. She pushed the door open and her eyes immediately found the old man, who was sitting behind the desk.

Conan had aged a lot in the last two years. Back then, he only had white hair on his temples. Now, his hair was almost completely white.

“Hmm.”

This was not a decision made on the fly. A long time ago, Myra had considered going back to work at the Stark Group. The Stark Group was the result of her mother’s efforts. She didn’t want to give it to that mother-daughter pair. However, she wasn’t prepared to leave Sean either. She thought Sean would eventually share a single heart with her, and she would be able to take back the Stark Group—the company that belonged to her mother. Yet, she had overestimated herself. Now, she and Sean were divorced, and she left the Chase Group. It was about time she returned to the Stark Group and took back what was supposedly hers.

Fortunately, she was not alone. The thought of Tony softened the hard lines on her face.

“Mr. Engelhard…” She hesitated. Still, she went on and told the old man in front of her gently, “There’s someone that I would like to introduce to you sometime…”

“The kid from the Hart Family?” Conan arched an eyebrow at her.

“How did you know, Mr. Engelhard…” Myra was surprised.

Conan let out a chuckle. “Silly girl, how could I not know about your things?”

The ‘kid’ came to see him a while ago.

Conan shook his head. “Myra, I won’t comment on that kid from the Hart Family. You’re all grown up. Whether he’s good or bad, whether he treats you sincerely, and whether he’s the man you want, these are the things you need to think about carefully. I won’t interfere this time.”

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to put in a good word for Tony in front of Myra. There were some things that Tony had gone overboard with, but Conan didn’t even step in to stop him.
