Although Myra still had something to say, Tony lowered his head to plant a kiss on her soft, pink lips. “I’ll be alright; I’m just trying to reassure you. After all, you’re now…” He rested his hand on her belly while smiling languidly. “All you have to do is take care of the baby you’re carrying. Just leave the rest up to me.”
Upon noticing his confidence, Myra was feeling more relieved. Nonetheless, she turned to look at him. “No matter what happens, you’re not to hide anything from me or let me worry, okay?”
“Okay.” Tony wrapped his left hand around her right hand, his eyes tender and jovial.
…
Meanwhile, Cameron picked up Sean’s call immediately after hanging up Tony’s call. “Sean…” He addressed Sean over the phone cordially as soon as he picked up. “Is something the matter that you’re calling me now?”
Ever since being turned down by Myra, Sean had been feeling gloomy. When he heard Cameron’s voice, he frowned in displeasure, but gave a casual reply nonetheless. “Mr. Stark, let’s meet right now.”
“Is something the matter?” Upon noticing the hint of eagerness in Sean’s tone, Cameron narrowed his eyes. “You know that Stark Group is currently facing a crisis, right? Because of that, I’ve been quite busy, so I might not be able to make time…”
Cameron trailed off by that point in order to gauge Sean’s reaction, to which Sean replied aloofly, “Is that so? You might want to meet up with me since it has to do with Green Palms Project. Let’s meet at Wilson Golf Club in an hour.” With that, Sean hung up.
Despite Myra’s attitude toward Sean, he remembered just how much she hated her father. Even though Cameron seemed to side with his decision to want to get back together with Myra, he knew Cameron’s support meant nothing. Considering Cameron’s relationship with Myra, she would only reject him even more if he banded with Cameron.
At that moment, his phone rang with a call from Eve. When he noticed the call, his mood soured once again, thus turned down the call without hesitation. Subsequently, he took his jacket and car keys before leaving.
The door to the lounge in his office was opened from within after his departure. Standing at the entrance, Lyla bit on her lip while listening to his fading footsteps. She was clutching onto a USB drive in her hand. Securing her grasp on it, she turned to enter the lounge once again.
…
After Sean cut the call with Cameron, the latter wore a sullen look on his face. However, he did recall that Sean mentioned something about Green Palms Project. What does he mean by saying that? Does he want to discuss something about the project with me? More than ever, Stark Group needs capital. The rest are inconsequential compared to that. Is he really going to invest in Stark Group for Myra’s sake?
No matter the case, Cameron figured the worst case scenario would be handing ten percent of the company’s shares to Tony. Furrowing his brows, he turned to leave Hart Group to enter his car before driving off to Wilson Golf Club.
…
The clubhouse was more crowded during the day compared to the night. Although the interior of the clubhouse was spacious and equipped with a separate entertainment area, it couldn’t compare to its outdoor land resources.
When Cameron arrived at the clubhouse, Sean had already arrived. Sitting in a corner, there was a glass of red wine in front of Sean. Cameron wasn’t sure what he had on his mind, as he was wearing a glum look on his face. When Cameron approached him, Sean merely lifted his gaze before greeting him aloofly, “You’re here.”
“What is it that you want to tell me?” Although Cameron deliberately displayed a certain degree of anxiety, he made sure to not portray himself as panicking. “Is it about Green Palms Project? Are you willing to help Stark Group?”
“Let’s leave the topic regarding the project’s financial deficit for another time.” Sean held a calm gaze as he glanced at Cameron. “I asked to meet you tonight to speak about something else.”
Upon hearing that, Cameron frowned. At that moment, he was eager to solve the financial crisis of the project, so his countenance shifted ever so slightly when he was told that it wasn’t the purpose of the meeting. “Sean, I don’t suppose you requested to meet me at this time just so you could talk to me about Myra?”
There was a grim look in Cameron’s eyes. Upon closer inspection, one could detect a hint of dismay, which Sean noticed despite how faint it was. He then narrowed his eyes while wearing a half smirk. “What else do you think I would want to talk to you about, Mr. Stark?”
Cameron froze for a moment before standing up from his seat. “I’ll be taking my leave since I don’t think we’re on the same page.”
“You don’t have to be so impulsive, Mr. Stark. Compared to the money, you might be more interested in what I’ll be showing you.” Sean maintained a smug attitude, as if he was certain that Cameron wouldn’t leave just like that.
“What do you mean?” With a frown, Cameron stopped in his tracks.
Sean tossed a USB drive at him, which slid across the table with a scratching noise. His action was humiliating and provocative, which caused Cameron’s countenance to undergo multiple shifts. “What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Chase?”
“In it is everything that you wish to know. Of course, if you utilize it correctly, not only will you be able to avert the financial crisis of the project, but you might be able to seek revenge against someone in order to gain a huge amount of compensation.” A smile tugged at the corner of Sean’s lips.
Cameron’s countenance shifted a tad as he seemed to have gleaned something important from what Sean said. Narrowing his eyes, he turned to pick up the USB drive that Sean tossed on the table. While staring at it, his mind was racing.
According to what Sean said, the enormous secret the drive contained could not only solve the crisis that the project was facing, but could also help him seek revenge. Seek revenge? What revenge? Hold on, could it be that… Green Palms Project’s crisis wasn’t caused by a financial deficit within Stark Group? Then, the construction unit… And the people we outsourced…
His expression shifted countless times within a split second as he gripped onto the drive. Smiling at Sean, he said, “In the end, you’re the one who helped me. I owe you one, Sean. I’ll return the favor some other time.”
With a solemn look, Sean replied, “Let’s consider us even. I gave you the drive as I have my own agenda.”
“Alright.” Cameron didn’t hesitate to agree to it. After all, it would be great if he could solve the crisis without owing anybody anything. “I’ll cut the pleasantries. This is urgent, so I need to go back to my company immediately.”
Upon hearing that, Sean gave him a faint nod, after which Cameron left the place with the drive in his hand. After Cameron’s figure disappeared into the distance, a waiter approached Sean with a laptop, on which a video clip was paused on screen. The image that it was paused on depicted a couple snuggling close together, while one person was teaching the other person golf.
“Mr. Chase, here is the clip you requested for.” The waiter was cautious. On the contrary, Sean was seated in a relatively secluded spot, so he wasn’t worried that other people would notice what was playing on the laptop. Right away, he hit the play button. The laptop contained not just one but multiple clips of Tony and Myra.
