However, when Gemma learned downstairs that Myra was pregnant, her face immediately darkened. “That b*tch doesn’t deserve to be pregnant with Tony’s child!” She squeezed the wine glass so tightly that it almost broke.
She had already been furious that night when she saw the lovey-dovey interactions between Myra and Tony. If Gideon had not held her back, she wanted to run to Myra and give her a good slap so that Myra would not dare to be ostentatious.
“Gemma, you must understand that it will be more difficult for you to marry into the Hart Family once Myra is pregnant with Tony’s child.” Gideon’s face also became sullen.
“You don’t have to tell me that, Gideon. I understand the implications well!” With that, Gemma placed the wine glass on a small table next to the swimming pool as a savage expression flashed in her eyes. “What do you think is the possibility of that b*tch having a miscarriage?”
Before he could reply, Kris, who had been silent all this while, suddenly snorted in laughter.
“What are you laughing at?” Gemma turned and asked in a sarcastic tone. “Kris, I’m sure the Stark Family is the most resentful and troubled when Myra marries into the Hart Family. If the Hart Family decides to help Myra, they could take over the Stark Group at any second.”
Upon hearing that, Kris froze, but she quickly gave a slight smile. “You’ve misunderstood me, Gemma. I’m just thinking that the Hart Family will treat her even more tentatively after knowing that she’s pregnant. How would they allow her to have a miscarriage?”
“You don’t know what could happen in such a big, wide world.” Gemma continued in her sarcastic tone once again. After shooting Kris a glance, Gemma turned to look at Gideon. “Gideon, do you think the reason why the Hart Family hasn’t chased Myra away is because Tony has developed true feelings for her? They don’t seem to believe that she would betray Tony, but what if she did?”
“Gemma, you’re saying that—”
“Compared to the Hart Family, Myra is nobody. But, she’s above average, so I bet there are many people who have fallen for her. In all honesty, she is usually quite cold and lofty. What if her true character isn’t actually like this?” When she recalled the way Sean defended Myra in the Stark Group the other day, she snorted. “We have something we can immediately use.”
Gideon’s eyes narrowed upon hearing that.
…
Even when the party was about to end, Tony did not leave the room as well.
Myra was sound asleep due to the exhaustion at the halfway point of the event.
Sebastian and Serena had brought something up for them. After knocking on the door and placing the items down, they immediately left the room.
Meanwhile, Tony merely sat on Myra’s bed as he carefully looked at her face.
Objectively speaking, she was not the most beautiful woman he had met. In fact, she was slightly less beautiful compared to her sister, but he had no idea why he felt as though the entire world had disintegrated around him when he first met her.
At this moment, Myra suddenly frowned in her sleep, as if she was dreaming. he stretched out with his hand and caressed her forehead. When her frown had finally relaxed, he planted a kiss on her forehead and walked out of the room, closing the door gently behind him.
Sean’s call that night had given him a sense of danger.
Lyla was right—Sean would not give up on Myra at this moment. More importantly, he seemed to have known many matters. If Myra knows them one day…
Tony frowned deeply. Without any expression on his face, he walked down the stairs.
…
When Myra woke up, she was alone in her room. After glancing at the time, she realized that it was almost 10:00 PM and she assumed that the party was about to end.
When she was about to get out of bed, her phone suddenly rang. It was the management office of her apartment calling her.
Although she felt weird that the management office had called her at this hour, she answered the call nevertheless. As soon as the call went through, the other party responded nervously, “Miss Stark, your unit was robbed. Everything’s a mess now, so please come back to take a look.”
Myra froze for a moment before her eyebrows knitted together into a frown. “What’s going on?”
It had been quite a while since she last returned to her apartment, which was a rather unique high-end private apartment. Every floor required a specific access card, so it was quite difficult for a thief to enter.
“We are not too sure either. When one of the surveillance workers checked on the equipment today, he saw the door of your apartment wide open and the inside in disarray. Therefore, we assumed that your apartment had been robbed.”
After listening to what the voice said, Myra’s thoughts were in a mess and she quickly sat upright after turning.
“Alright, I’ll head back now.”
With that, the door of the room was opened when she was wearing some clothes.
Upon seeing Tony, Myra quickly explained, “My apartment has been robbed. The management office asked me to immediately take a look.”
His eyebrows also immediately knitted together into a frown. “What’s going on?”
“I’m not entirely sure. I have to head back and have a look.”
Tony lowered his head to look at the watch on his wrist. After walking over to her, he stopped her from wearing her clothes. “It’s rather late, so I’ll go over and take a look instead. I’ll ask Leo to send you back to my place so that you can rest and I’ll let you know what exactly has happened tomorrow.”
Myra was a little hesitant about this arrangement. However, she remembered that she had drunk some alcohol and also fell today. On top of that, Phillip also advised her to rest well so that she would not be too exhausted physically and mentally. After taking a deep breath, she nodded. “Alright.”
Since Tony’s apartment was right next to hers, she had nothing to worry about.
He called Leo to inform him of the recent events. Only after seeing her finish the chicken soup did he let her sit into Leo’s car.
After Myra left, Tony started his own car and drove to the apartment.
…
“I heard that you are pregnant, Miss Stark,” Leo said with a wide smile. When Tony called him earlier, even though he had remained in his usual calm composure, Leo could tell that his voice was elated. After shooting a glance at Myra through the rearview mirror, he quickly responded. “Congratulations.”
“Thanks,” she replied joyfully as she touched her stomach.
She also did not expect that she would be pregnant after just a night.
A while ago, both of them were still joking about having kids.
“Are you missing Director Hart?” Worried that she would be bored, he tried to find some topics for a conversation. “Don’t worry. It’s probably just a normal burglar who had his eyes on your apartment. After all, you haven’t been staying there for a while, so the burglar must have felt that it was easy to get his hands on it. I’m sure Director Hart will have it settled in no time.”
“I’m not missing him.” Myra felt slightly embarrassed when Leo claimed that she missed Tony. Even though she found out that she was pregnant today, she was not too jubilant. The phone in her bag seemed to scorch her like a piece of hot metal.
She suddenly took out her phone and clicked on the MMS to delete it.
When they arrived at the entrance of Tony’s apartment, someone suddenly pounced on their car.
A shocked Leo quickly slammed his foot on the brake. “Don’t get down, Miss Stark. I’ll have a look instead.”
As soon as he opened the door to exit the car, the woman, who had been knocked to the ground, suddenly rose to her feet and ran to the car windows near Myra.
As she had the windows slightly rolled down earlier, she did not have enough time to shut it. Hence, the woman quickly clasped onto it. As soon as she lowered her head, Myra immediately frowned—the woman was actually Sasha!
