Myra suddenly felt that she was running out of breath, so she took a deep, slow breath to stop the pain in her heart from spreading.
There were some noticeable hints in Sean’s words.
In that instant, many different scenarios went through her mind. For example, when Sasha asked for her help the other night, she emphasized that Tony did not intentionally allow her to obtain the video before she left. It would have been better for her if she did not cover for him, but after she explained herself, Myra became more suspicious. Sasha’s only good will had made matters worse at that moment.
The golden Aston Martin had also planted some doubts in Myra’s heart. Needless to say, when Captain Fowler visited her, he let the cat out of the bag that Tony asked him to treat her well before she was thrown into jail, but something had gone wrong temporarily. Captain Fowler sounded like he was afraid of being blamed by her.
The various pieces of evidence from the different incidents proved that at least half of Sean’s words were credible.
Myra felt even more confused. When she entered her office, she did not leave again.
When Tilly saw Myra returning with an upset look, she grew worried about Myra, so she quickly contacted the man whom she thought she should.
…
On the way over, Tony had received a call from Elliot. “Tony, I’ve already looked into the incident you asked me to. The robbery at Myra’s place isn’t just a normal one.”
After seeing the lock that was in perfect condition and noticing that none of the jewellery was stolen, Tony assumed that the burglar was not aiming to steal those belongings based on the conversation he had with Myra after that. Hence, he asked Elliot to look further into the matter.
“What’s the result?” Tony did not release the accelerator. Instead, he stepped on it. As the car darted forward like a bullet, his eyes darkened.
“The person who stole Myra’s belongings was a famous thug from the south of the city. He had the name of being a skilful thief, so he was quite popular in that area. Lucas was familiar with one of the leaders of that region, Mr. Hopkins. I’m sure Myra would be interested in the results of the interrogation of the burglar by Mr. Hopkins,” Elliot answered nonchalantly with the belief that Myra’s family had gone overboard this time. I can’t believe that they thought of such despicable means!
“Just tell me!” Tony was quite annoyed, so he tugged on his necktie brusquely. He did not appreciate Elliot’s attempt to veil the results as a surprise.
Seeing that his attempt had failed, Elliot touched his nose in disappointment and said in annoyance, “It’s obviously done by Myra’s family. They were probably so oppressed that they have lost their minds. They actually hired a burglar to steal the documents of her shares, but they got nothing in the end.” With that, he was quite impressed. “I have to give it to Myra—she’s smart enough to have moved the documents away beforehand.”
When Tony recalled that Myra had moved all her shares to Mr. Engelhard to take care, he was also stunned by her intelligence. She probably thought that those would be targeted by others if she kept it with her.
“Where is it?” Tony suppressed his annoyance slightly before asking Elliot, who immediately understood what the former meant.
“The recordings of what he said are with me now. With the help of Mr. Hopkins, not only the recordings, but even the contact history between the burglar and the father and daughter from the Stark Family are with me. I’ll send it over to you later.” With that, Elliot paused. “Are you going to expose this incident?”
Tony frowned. “No.”
It was not a huge incident since none of Myra’s belongings were stolen. Even if they exposed it, she would not have received any benefits from it. It was obvious that it was worthless at that moment, but the time would arrive for such information to be useful.
His eyes slightly narrowed.
Elliot had grown up with Tony—they basically wore the same underwear together—so he knew what went on in Tony’s mind at that moment.
“Tony, you should have told Myra about this. How could you have helped her so much behind the scenes without saying a word about it? Even though she has already fallen for you, she will love you even more after you tell her about this!” Especially during such sensitive times. I wonder if both of them would get into a fight.
“Don’t be a busybody,” Tony replied coldly before hanging up.
Upon hearing the beeping sound, Elliot was exasperated. “Fine. Now I’m a busybody.”
After hanging up, Tony thought about it and spun the steering wheel in the direction of 180 degrees. The car turned around and headed in a different direction.
…
It was some time after Myra returned to the office that her emotions slowly settled down.
When Tilly entered her office for the second time, she was more relieved when she saw Myra reading some documents in full concentration. After placing the glass of lemon water on Myra’s desk, she said, “Miss Stark, you are pregnant now, so don’t remain seated for too long. It’s good to stand up and walk around occasionally to relax your body.”
Upon hearing that, Myra put the pen down and rose to her feet as she smiled at Tilly. “Oh, I forgot about it again.”
When she touched her belly, an unexpected emotion flashed in her eyes.
“Miss Stark, did the man… make you angry earlier?” Tilly asked tentatively. When she saw Myra returning to the office with a dark look on her face, she was worried that Sean had done or said something awful to her.
At the mention of Sean, Myra pursed her lips before she replied gently, “Don’t worry about it. I have already made things clear with him. In the future, there wouldn’t be any messy entanglement with him.”
With that, she paused. Well, only if Sean understood my message earlier.
Tilly heaved a sigh of relief. So, Miss Stark just wants a clean break with that jerk.
However, not long after she left Myra’s office, Sean arrived.
He knocked on the door, but he did not enter the room. Instead, he spoke in a low voice from the outside, “Myra, I know that I’ve done many wrong things to you in the past and I know you won’t forgive me in such a short period, but I can wait for you. Myra, this is something that I should bear. On the other hand, I won’t force you to do anything. I know you still have some feelings for me, so I just want to let you know that you can depend on me now.”
With that, he left Myra’s office when he saw Tilly coming out from the pantry.
Myra frowned helplessly after hearing Sean’s words. She had no idea what had taken hold of him. Obviously, he had decided to cling to her and her words had no effect on him earlier.
Annoyance bubbled up within her, but at the same time, she was relieved that she had left him. Regardless of how Lyla had gotten together with him, he did not care about their past at all. Thanks to his own selfish wants at that moment, he wanted to ruthlessly chase her out of the Chase Family, which made Myra recall her own experience a few months ago.
A man like him is not responsible at all. What good is he for?
Myra’s thoughts uncontrollably ventured to Tony once more.
As soon as she thought of him, her conflicted thoughts swept over her again and caused her to be mentally exhausted. After gritting her teeth, she forced herself to take a deep breath.
