Some of the clips depicted Tony teaching Myra to play golf, the two of them sharing an intimate moment as they interacted. Other clips included a conversation between Tony and the old man from Bridgers Corporation, during which Tony expressed the fact that Myra had a unique place in his heart.
Other than that, there were also clips that showed Tony turning Belle down in order to show his determination to get Myra. There was also a conversation between Myra and Belle after the latter caught on to Tony’s abnormal behavior toward Myra. When Belle tried to intimidate Myra, she denied having been associated with Tony at all.
Indeed. Back then, Myra still had nothing to do with Tony, as she was still Sean’s wife. Therefore, she was still turning down Tony’s advances. What have I done to her back then? I blamed her for stealing trade secrets from Chase Group’s Hilliville project, and then hurt her because of Lyla. In the end, I even sent her to a detention center in order to sell off the Hilliville project. In effect, I was the one who gradually crushed her love. Now, all that’s left behind is her indignation for me.
“Mr. Chase…” The waiter called out to him upon noticing his awkward expression.
Sean waved his hand at the waiter. “Please leave. I would like some time alone.”
The waiter nodded before leaving. After that, Sean went through Myra and Belle’s conversation again with a bitter smile on his face. I wonder if I really still have a chance.
…
After Rachel left Kris’ ward, she headed to Stark Residence once again. Cameron wasn’t there, so the housekeeper let her in behind his back, albeit feeling uneasy about it. “Mrs. Stark, you’d better be quick when you pack up your remaining stuff. Mr. Stark will be back soon. If he finds out I let you in behind his back, I won’t be able to keep my job.”
Rachel wore a nonchalant look as she replied, “Don’t worry. I won’t make you lose your job. Throughout the years, I knew you were having a hard time, so I took extra care of you, didn’t I?”
The housekeeper forced a smile. “I will forever remember how you helped me. But now…” When she noticed Rachel went into Cameron’s study, the housekeeper was feeling even more uneasy. “Mrs. Stark, do you have something in Mr. Stark’s study?”
Apparently, she was afraid that Rachel returned to steal something when Cameron wasn’t there. She used to rely on Rachel, but now that Rachel could hardly take care of herself, she was determined to not lose her job in Stark Residence.
“Don’t worry. Just follow behind me. I’m only going to walk around for a bit. I won’t be taking anything.” At that moment, Rachel put on a look of grief. “After all, I don’t know if I’ll be able to lay eyes on the house again in the future.”
The housekeeper was moved by her expression. Throughout the years, Rachel had been nothing but nice to her. After what happened, the housekeeper knew Rachel was being implicated by her b*stard of a daughter. Otherwise, she would still be the matriarch of the house. Heaving a sigh, the housekeeper relented. “Mrs. Stark, please make it quick.”
With a nod, Rachel went to Cameron’s desk. There was a photo frame on his table; it used to have a photo of himself. Later, she replaced it with their family photo—without Myra of course. The photo was taken when Kris was young. Back then, Jenny was still Cameron’s legal spouse, so they could only sneak around whenever they wanted to meet.
After Jenny was chased away and Rachel took over her position as the matriarch, she framed that photo just so she could mock Jenny using the fact that Cameron and her had been together since way back.
Rachel spent a long time staring at the photo. When the housekeeper was also starting to glance at the photo frame in confusion, Rachel suddenly smashed it onto the floor. Crash! Although the noise frightened the housekeeper, Rachel picked the frame back up calmly.
The glass on it was shattered, so Rachel was able to retrieve the photo easily. When she did so, she managed to catch a glimpse of what was inside. At some point, Cameron had added another photo into the frame. When Rachel saw the photo, her heart spasmed, and her finger accidentally pressed itself against the edge of the glass. It cut her finger and drew blood.
“Mrs. Stark, your finger…” The housekeeper let out a cry, but Rachel stared at the photo as if she was numb to the pain. Soon enough, the housekeeper also saw the photo, which elicited from her another cry of surprise. Pointing at it, she stuttered while looking at Rachel. “Mrs. Stark, t-this is…” The turn of events was so shocking that she didn’t even know what to say.
Rachel, at this moment, felt like someone stabbed her heart. She could almost hear Jenny mocking her. Clenching her fists, she retrieved the second photo as well. Then, she said to the housekeeper, “Clean this place up. I’m leaving now.” After a brief pause, she added, “Thank you.”
The housekeeper was still afraid of what might happen. Because Rachel didn’t take the first photo away, she could just slip it back into another similar frame. But if Mr. Stark found out…
“Don’t worry. I bet it has been a while since he last checked on the photo. He’ll only be suspicious of me since I just left the house.” With that, she didn’t want to waste her breath with the housekeeper anymore, so she left the house with the photo.
She came by car just now. After getting into the car, she took out the photo again. It was apparent that the photo depicted a mother and daughter that resembled Jenny and Myra a lot. However, they only bore semblance to them. It was evident that the two females in the photo weren’t Jenny and Myra.
While clutching onto the photo, she snapped a photo of the photo using her phone before calling another number. When the recipient picked up, she ordered calmly, “I’ll be sending you a photo. Start an investigation on the two people in the photo.” After she hung up, a fierce look fleeted across her gaze.
…
Meanwhile, Cameron returned to Stark Group in possession of the USB drive. He closed the door of his office as soon as he entered it, and then settled down in the lounge. He plugged the drive into the TV before pressing on the remote to open the only video clip in it.
Assuming that Sean had a secret to tell him, he was eager to check on the clip. Yet, his countenance shifted as soon as he saw the two figures in the clip. One of the figures belonged to an older person, whereas the other one was younger. “T-This is…” Immediately, he retrieved the remote to fast-forward the clip.
The clip spanned for half an hour, which recorded the whereabouts of the two people. They went grocery shopping together, ate ice cream together, and went to the mall. The older person also sent the younger person to school.
It wasn’t a continuous clip, so it was evident that whoever recorded it had been monitoring the two people for some time. Cameron shot up from the sofa with a glum look. Then, he began pacing around in his lounge before fishing for his phone to give Sean a call. However, Sean didn’t pick up.
Just when he was feeling extremely irritated and wanted nothing but to question Sean about how he gained knowledge of everything, or rather, about the intention behind giving him the clip, someone opened the door of the lounge heavily. The door swung open before banging into the wall behind it, making a loud thud.
