Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 356

Myra’s rare show of her more dominant side amused Tony. Turning his palm over to hold her hand, he commented, “Who else should I look at if not you?”

Blushing, Myra retracted her hand and then glared at him. “Drive! You’re setting a bad example for the other employees if you’re never on time!”

That finally shut him up, and he started the car engine before driving off. Halfway through their journey, Estelle gave Myra a call, which she picked up without hesitation. “Is something the matter, Estelle?”

“Myra, it’s me!” The voice that came through didn’t belong to Estelle.

As soon as Myra heard that voice, her face fell. She could also hear Estelle fretting over the phone. “You b*stard, Sean Chase! I’m warning you! You’d better return my phone, or else I will get the security guards to chase you out!”

“Listen to me, Myra! What happened to the Green Palms Project isn’t what you see on the surface. It’s not just a financial deficit, but someone has been deliberately targeting it! I’ve spent an entire day tracking down the culprit. Do you know that Tony Hart is behind Stark Group’s predicament? Myra, I already told you that you shouldn’t believe in that man! This time, I have proof that I can send you right away to show that I am telling the truth! This time—”

“I already know what’s going on behind the scenes of that project.” With a frown, Myra gave a cold reply.

Sean was panting heavily as he spoke, but when he heard her calm response, he seemed to be momentarily startled. However, he quickly went on to say, “But Tony—”

“Tony already informed me about his actions beforehand.” Myra pulled her lips into a thin line before cutting him off once again. “Sean, I don’t want people to know about this, so I would appreciate it if you could destroy the evidence you hold.”

“Myra—”

“Other than that, I hope you will not interfere with things between me and Tony in the future. And stop harassing me by calling me.” With that, she hung up.

When she turned to meet Tony’s gaze, she saw that he gave her a once over before asking with a smirk, “Who is the popular girl now?”

“I don’t want these kinds of attention.” Myra waved her hand as she spoke. Sean had really outdone himself by sneaking into the film set to snatch Estelle’s phone just so he could give her a call. By this point, Myra really didn’t know what she could say about this. Upon hearing what Myra said, Tony chuckled. Although he was fairly certain that Myra wouldn’t go back to Sean, her reassurance still came as a relief for him.

Back in the film set, Estelle snatched her phone back from Sean, who was stunned to the spot. Begrudgingly, she spat, “Sean Chase, consider this a warning! Don’t disturb Myra’s life! She currently leads a life that is much happier than she ever lived! Tony can provide her with everything that you couldn’t give her by thousands of folds! You were the one who ditched her back then, so it’s too late for you to get her back now!”

After that, she gave the security guards beside her a look. Rather awkwardly, one of them told Sean, “Sorry, Mr. Chase. The set isn’t open to the public today.” They were being courteous by citing that as a reason, as they couldn’t afford to offend either Estelle, who was a famous celebrity, or Sean, who was the director of a company.

All of a sudden, she realized that to Cameron, she was nothing but an effective weapon against Myra, and at the same time, Gideon was using her as a handy chess piece. Now that things had turned out like this, they had both decided to give up on her. She used to fantasize about gaining something through them, but it was all for nothing.

With her phone gripped tightly in her hand, Kris instructed her mother calmly, “Mom, file for a divorce with Dad by citing irreconcilable differences.”

Startled, Rachel replied, “Kris, this is only temporary. When your father’s anger subsides, we will—”

“We will only be repeating the same cycles even after his anger subsides. Mom, Dad will never give us any of the company’s shares before he dies. I have evidence of his affair. This time, we will force him to give up some of his shares to us through legal means. Of course, if he isn’t willing to give us that, he will have to accept us back into the family like VIPs.” Kris gritted her teeth.

She used to willingly carry all the burden that her father put on her in hopes of one day gaining his shares. After more than twenty years though, she came to learn that someone as sly as Cameron would never easily give up on his power while he was still alive.

“What? Kris, what did you just say?” Rachel’s face blanched as she nearly stumbled over.

“Mom, it’s all my fault. I was afraid to break your heart, so I didn’t tell you that Dad had an affair.” Kris bit her lip. In reality, she didn’t hide the truth out of concern for her mother, but because Cameron offered her money back then to have her keep it a secret.
