“You!” Kris was so enraged by Tilly’s words that the flames of her rage flared wildly inside her chest. Then, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Tilly. “Tilly Quinn, don’t forget who it was that placed you in the position of the Design Department Director’s assistant!” It’s just that I didn’t know Myra would eventually take over as the Design Department Director at the time!
“So, you accepted Mr. Logan’s favor too. Why are you glaring at me?” Tilly pretended to be innocent.
“This is just great! You double-faced traitor! Knowing that Myra was going to be your superior, you quickly kissed up to her. I’ll make you regret it!” After Kris finished ranting, she glared at both of them and left.
Tilly patted her chest. “Phew. What a fierce woman. No wonder Mr. Hart asked me to come and help you, Miss Stark! That distorted face of hers made me think that she was going to eat me up!”
“She won’t eat you.” Myra glanced at Kris’ back indifferently. “But, you need to be careful of her in the future.”
“Okay, Miss Stark.”
Tilly returned to her desk and played with the gifts she received. When she saw Myra entering the office, she hurriedly summarized everything that just happened in a text message and secretly sent it to Tony.
On the other hand, Myra walked into her office and closed the door behind her. She wasn’t bothered by what Kris said just now. After all, Kris had always been at odds with her. Besides, no matter how angry I am, just looking at the gifts piled up in my office makes my heart melt. Mulling over it for a moment, she took out her phone and dialed Tony’s number.
Tony had just arrived at the Ritz Carlton when he received the phone call. Leo took the laptop from him and saved the documents he had been working on previously.
As soon as Tony saw the caller ID displayed on his phone, the corners of his mouth that had been stiff the entire day softened into a curve. He answered the call. “Hello?”
It seems like just listening to his voice through the phone is enough to fill my heart with a faint sweetness. Myra softly said, “Did you send these?”
“Yeah.” He didn’t elaborate.
She felt a sweet but complicated feeling surging up in her chest in response. Sweeping a glance across her office, she felt as if the arrival of those items added a lot of color to her originally monotonous office and made her office look rather cute. She picked up the files on the desk with a smile forming on the edges of her lips. “I love it.”
“So… can I do whatever I want tonight?” The tone of the conversation changed suddenly. Stunned, she immediately recalled all the things that happened the night before. Following that, her face flushed scarlet, and she couldn’t help roaring, “Tony Hart!”
“If you shout any louder than that, I won’t try to be sneaky when I come to pick you up tonight.” His smirking voice sounded through the phone.
She bit her lip, knowing that she was in the wrong. Thus, she whisperingly said, “I’m going back to work now.”
“Okay, I’ll pick you up after work.” After that, they both hung up.
Standing beside Tony, Leo was holding in his laughter so hard that his face was distorted. Tony narrowed his eyes and glanced at Leo faintly as he got out of the car. “I was going to increase your salary. I guess I can forget about it since you don’t seem to want it.”
Leo immediately turned into a loyal subordinate and said, “No, Director Hart! I was only laughing because I was thinking about something silly I did in the past…”
Tony emotionlessly glanced sideways at Leo. “Cancel the dinner tonight.”
“Huh?” Leo received a cold glare from his boss and hurriedly replied, “Of course. I will get it done immediately.” However, he felt extremely frustrated as he turned around. I wonder how many dinners we’ve canceled this month…
As soon as Tony entered the Ritz Carlton, Aaron immediately led him toward the director’s office.
Conan had been waiting in his office for a long while now. He sat on the brown leather sofa with a cane by his side. Two steaming cups of tea were placed on the coffee table in front of him and white tendrils of steam were escaping from the cups. A slightly opened brown paper bag was placed between the two cups. When he heard the sound of footsteps walking toward him, he opened his eyes immediately and a flash of light gleamed in his eyes.
A tall and broad figure with piercing eyes and an extraordinary aura soon stood in the doorway; he was dressed in a white shirt and a black suit. Tony had rushed over after receiving a call from Conan.
“Come in and have a seat.” Conan nodded at the sofa opposite him.
Tony nodded, walked into the office, and sat down.
Conan studied the man in front of him carefully. Leaving aside the one time this man approached me to talk about Myra, I think it has been six years since I last met him., He has grown much more mature and composed compared to back then. Even I can’t tell what is going on behind those eyes of his despite staring straight at him. He smiled faintly. “I believe you know why I called you over this time.” I’m sure he has long since investigated everything there is to know about Myra. Therefore, he can probably guess why I immediately called him here as soon as Myra returned to the Stark Group.
“It’s only natural for me to come regardless of the reason you called for me, Mr. Engelhard,” Tony replied lightly.
Conan smiled. “I knew Myra was eventually going to end up with you. To be honest, I knew that she couldn’t escape even before this. Unfortunately, she is simple-minded and stubborn. So, it took her a while to realize it herself.”
Tony’s expression had been indifferent since the moment he walked in. However, a ripple finally appeared in his eyes when he heard those words. “She is stubborn indeed.”
He couldn’t stop a loving expression from faintly appearing in his eyes at the thought of the difficulties he faced when courting her.
Conan shook his head. “The only time you show any expression in front of me is when you are talking about her. Still, don’t forget what you did to her. I’m ignoring it because I want her to be happy. However, you better prepare yourself for what will happen once she learns about it. Also, you should hand this document over to her yourself.” Conan wasn’t too bothered about the document. After all, that document was enough to determine Tony’s intentions. Then, his expression gradually became stern. “I called you here because I have another important matter to tell you.”
“Is it about the Stark Family’s inheritance?” Tony asked dispassionately.
Conan narrowed his eyes slightly. “As expected of you; you know about it too.” He toyed with his cane, seemingly hesitating about something. Even so, he soon nodded at Tony. “I didn’t want to trust you so quickly. I gave Sean Chase two years, but he still failed me in the end.” At this point, he pursed his lips with a measure of anger before continuing, “At the time, Myra insisted on doing what she thought was right. So, I had no choice. I was afraid she would be ruined at the time. Besides, I couldn’t trust Sean. Not only did he have another woman in his heart, but he was also extremely suspicious and hostile. Only Myra stupidly wanted to marry him no matter what. Still… I can tell that the experiences she suffered during those two years were not in vain. She is now stronger than I could ever imagine. If not for this document and the Chase Group’s Hilliville incident, which made me believe that you are sincere toward her, I would never rush to tell you about the last will Old Master Stark left behind.”
“So, it’s true that Cameron Stark was not named as the heir of the Stark Group in the latest will?” Although Tony phrased his sentence as a question, his tone was affirmative.
Conan smiled. “You got it right.”
Tony frowned slightly. “Mr. Engelhard, did you call me here today just to talk about this?”
“Of course, not.” Conan shook his head and suddenly fixed a fierce gaze on the outstanding man in front of him. “I hope that you can help Myra get back the Stark Group.”
The word ‘help’ was rather tricky. As they both knew, Myra did not stand a chance against the cunning Cameron, who had long since controlled the Stark Group, just by relying on the little strength she had gained so far. Besides, Conan did not wish to see a long, drawn-out war—that was also one of the reasons why he had not disclosed the will up until today.
