The couple made love passionately and fell asleep at 3:00 AM. Sleeping late several nights in a row was bad for their health, and Myra felt dizzy.
The next day, Myra woke up at lunchtime. Early that morning, Tony had already given orders to not wake Myra up from her sleep.
Pregnant women needed more rest. Although Myra planned to wake up early the night before, she had overslept and her whole morning was gone.
After lunch, Myra drove straight to Stark Group. It had been a long time since she last visited Stark Group, so she was curious to see what the company looked like. Besides that, with Matthias’ intervention, the internal affairs in Stark Group now were even more complicated.
At the lobby of Stark Group, Myra coincidentally bumped into Cameron. Their gazes met for a moment before they both hurriedly looked away.
Myra didn’t want to greet Cameron. The thought of his evil misdeeds made her nauseous. My father is only capable of giving me endless despair.
However, surprisingly, Cameron took the initiative to walk up to Myra. Seeing that, Myra didn’t know what to do but watch as he slowly approached her.
“Myra.” Cameron’s friendly tone made Myra frown. She didn’t want to talk to Cameron, so she glanced at the elevator that was not far away and walked toward it.
However, Cameron was in an extremely good mood that day. He followed behind Myra and waited for the elevator with her, but he kept a short distance.
“Are you ignoring me?” Cameron suddenly took a step forward, narrowing the distance between him and Myra.
“There’s nothing to talk about,” Myra said coldly. Even though he’s my father, he treats me even worse than a stranger.
“You can never change the fact that we’re blood-related,” Cameron said mockingly.
“I hope that I can be completely unrelated to you,” Myra muttered as she glanced at the numbers on the elevator display. Why is the elevator so slow?
“Hahaha! Let’s see who will win in the end.” Cameron’s good mood was completely unaffected by Myra’s cold words.
“Are you done talking?” Myra grunted as she hurriedly took a step away from Cameron. Today is off to a bad start. I can’t believe that I bumped into Cameron. Why am I so unlucky today?
“Myra, how can you speak to your father in such a rude manner?” At that moment, Cameron could no longer bear Myra’s attitude.
“You are not worthy to be a father because all you care about is profit,” Myra said in disdain. Our family was ruined because of you. Is money really more important than family?
“Myra, don’t assume you will definitely win just because you have Tony on your side,” Cameron said furiously. I spoke to her in a friendly tone, but got treated rudely in return.
“I will get Stark Group back with my own strength.” Myra glared at Cameron coldly. I will handle Stark Group’s affairs myself, and I won’t ask Tony for help unless I have to.
“You sound confident, but I wonder if you have the capability to achieve it,” Cameron said with a delightful grin as if he was sure that Myra wouldn’t be able to take control of Stark Group.
Seeing his expression, Myra suddenly felt vigilant. The fact that Cameron is acting haughty shows that he is hiding something.
After the elevator arrived, Myra stopped talking to Cameron, stepped into the elevator, and pressed the button of the level she was heading to. Cameron followed behind and stood next to her.
Cameron is acting really strange today.
In the elevator, Cameron said, “Come to my office later.”
Upon hearing that, Myra looked at Cameron suspiciously. What’s wrong with him today? He’s being really unpredictable.
“I have something important to tell you. It has something to do with Stark Group, so you must come.” Cameron completely ignored Myra’s reaction and spoke as if he was giving her a warning.
“I am not interested,” Myra replied word by word. Cameron can do whatever crazy thing he wants, but I don’t have the time to play around.
“You wouldn’t want me to sell Stark Group to someone else, would you?” Cameron asked in a threatening tone.
Myra instantly looked upset. He’s using the same trick to provoke me again.
“Whoever you sell Stark Group to has nothing to do with me,” Myra replied calmly.
Cameron was stunned by Myra’s reaction and didn’t know what to say, so he stared at her furiously. However, he didn’t receive any response from her.
I was the one who gave Alicia those shares. I thought that Alicia didn’t date me for money, and I thought that she was different from other women. However, all women are the same. All of them have bad intentions and all they think about is spending my fortune.
The more Cameron thought about it, the angrier he felt. He couldn’t understand why women were so evil. I hate women.
“We’ll see who will take control of Stark Group in the end,” Myra said calmly. Compared to Cameron’s anger, Myra was much more relaxed.
Although Matthias appeared out of nowhere, I will find a way to deal with him. This is how the business world works. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. No one will be your enemy forever, and no one will be your friend forever. The only constant is the never-ending search for more profit.
“Matthias wants to see you tomorrow,” Cameron said in an upset manner. I have no idea why Matthias insisted on meeting Myra.
“I won’t go,” Myra replied without even looking up.
Seeing that, Cameron suddenly lost his temper. Myra never listens to me. It’s like I have no authority over her even though I am her father who raised her.
After giving it some thought, he softly said, “It’ll be good for you.” He had already agreed to Matthias’ request, so he had to make sure Myra would be there.
“Is that so? Thank you for your concern, but I’m not interested.” Myra continued to flip through the documents. It was clear that she was not interested in meeting Matthias at all.
“You must go and see him. He wants to discuss Stark Group’s affairs with you.” Cameron suddenly spoke sternly because he had no idea how to persuade Myra.
“Since when have you fallen from your pedestal and become someone’s pet?” Myra deliberately said to provoke Cameron. She was starting to feel annoyed by his babbling.
Cameron scoffed in anger. All of a sudden, he changed the subject and asked meaningfully, “Do you not remember who Matthias is?”
Hearing that, Myra looked up at Cameron. His words made her feel a little worried. Have Cameron and Matthias known each other for a long time?
The two of them glared at each other in silence. After a while, Myra replied grimly, “I don’t know him. If Matthias wants to meet me, ask him to talk to me personally.”
Cameron raised his chin and pointed at Myra angrily. “Fine! Myra, you are really ungrateful. I raised you and never treated you badly, but this is how you treat me?”
