“What’s wrong?” Myra did not miss the bruise at the corner of his eye. Once she lifted his head to take a closer look, her beautiful eyebrows knitted into a frown.
The corner of Henry’s right eye was bruised and it was obvious that someone had beat him up. Even though it was not something serious, it was too much for a kid to handle.
“Someone bullied you in school?”
Myra was sure that the bruise on Henry was not from a fall. Apart from that, teachers would not beat students up, so she presumed that Henry got into a fight with his classmates.
The boy avoided her glance and muttered, “I accidentally fell down during sports class today.”
Seeing that Myra was still staring at him fixedly, Henry grabbed her hand and forced a smile. “Let’s go, Myra. The mall isn’t far from here, so we’ll be there soon.”
However, Myra did not leave just because of his words. Instead, she pursed her lips and looked at Henry seriously. “You are not being honest with me, which makes me really unhappy.”
This was the first time Henry saw Myra being so serious and he choked slightly. “Myra—”
“Hmph! Aunt Elsie, he’s the one who knocked out my teeth! But the teacher said both of us were in the wrong, so she asked us to invite both our parents. Not only that, she also gave me a lecture! Aunt Elsie, you have to help me out here!”
Suddenly, an arrogant voice of a young boy rang out and interrupted Henry, whose expression changed immediately.
Following Henry’s gaze, Myra saw an adult and a young boy walking over to them, and she frowned again.
She did not know the young boy, but she knew the woman next to him whom he addressed as ‘Aunt Elsie’. Of course, she was none other than Elsie Foster.
After thinking back on what the boy had just said, Myra stood in front of Henry subconsciously as she faced the two people walking toward them.
Elsie was equally surprised to see Myra here, but she placed one of her hands on her hips while holding the boy with the other hand as she walked to Myra slowly. “Look who we have here—Miss Stark, it’s been a while.”
Elsie had an evil and mocking smile on her face.
It was all because of this b*tch that I got chased out by Sean from the Stark Group! However, I’ve had a stroke of luck after that. With some help, coupled with me being pregnant with Sean’s child, Eve treats me differently now. With the future successor of the Chase Group in my belly, even Eve has to be careful of my mood when she talks to me.
After remembering the grievances that she suffered from Myra and recalling what her nephew had just told her, the smile on Eve’s face grew wider as she caressed the little boy’s head. “Georgie, calm down. You have to forgive children who do not have their mom or dad. After all, no one is there to teach them manners, so it’s perfectly normal for them to grow up and become the scums of society.”
Upon hearing this, both Myra and Henry’s expressions changed immediately. In fact, Henry felt slightly guilty when he heard this because he knew that Myra’s mother had also passed away. He felt that it was his fault that she was being insulted along with him. Biting his lip, he held Myra’s hand and lifted his little face to look at her. “Myra, the injuries at the corner of my eye is due to the fight I had with him. He said that I’m a b*stard who doesn’t have a father, but I am happy enough to be with Mom!”
Seeing the firm look on his face, Myra merely caressed his head and she could guess what took place. Since Henry’s parents were divorced, there would surely be playful students in the school who provoked him deliberately. Henry was probably unable to help himself, so he got into a fight with them.
Myra then looked at Elsie calmly. “It’s just a fight between two kids. Don’t you think that you’ve gone too far, Miss Foster?”
“Just a fight?” Elsie snorted out laughing. “How did a simple fight result in Georgie’s teeth falling out?”
“Henry’s eye is also injured.” Myra countered and she pursed her lips slightly.
“Henry? Who is this Henry and what’s his status? How dare he hit Georgie? Miss Stark, aren’t you aware of your own position? Don’t think that you can order the Foster Family just because you are from the Stark Family. You were once Sean’s wife but unfortunately, you were abandoned by him. I even heard that you were chased out of the Stark Family! Simply put, you don’t have the right to speak to us here! I feel humiliated just by standing next to you!”
Elsie had heard most of Myra’s matters from Eve. However, Eve did not know that Myra was with Tony now, and the former had bad-mouthed Myra quite a lot in order to have Elsie on her side. This resulted in Elsie’s arrogant behavior toward Myra at this moment.
Elsie also thought that she would become the young lady of Chase Family sooner or later, seeing that she was pregnant with their precious grandson now.
Thinking about this, she eyed Myra loftily once more. “I heard that you stole the trade secrets from the Chase Family and made a huge mistake in the Marina Bay Bridge Project. If I were you, Myra, I would not dare to appear in public anymore! How humiliating would that be? Apart from that, I really don’t know how you got into Mr. Logan’s bed and made him—”
“Elsie Foster!” Myra interrupted her sharply.
Thinking that both kids were still quite young, Myra wanted to resolve the matters between them peacefully but Elsie had no plans to let her off the hook that easily.
Myra then turned around to look at Henry. “Henry, would you like to get into my car first? I’ll be right there after I speak to this lady here.”
“No!” Henry could obviously see that the woman in front of them was quite hostile toward Myra, so he refused to let go of her hand. Instead, he glared at the two people in front of them angrily and he had the sudden urge to kick the other party.
Feeling exasperated, Myra turned around to look at Elsie again with a cold expression on her face. “Would you like me to remind you about how you betrayed the Chase Group? You stole my designs and leaked them to the Hay Group. Elsie, I have the Hay Group as witness in that incident. Don’t you feel ashamed about that when you mention all these incidents right now?”
“Ashamed? No matter how ashamed I feel, I could never be any more ashamed than you!” As she spoke of that incident, Elsie was filled with hate. However, once she glanced at her belly, the spiteful expression on her face was replaced with joy. While caressing her belly, she looked at Myra mockingly. “Myra, I know that you love Sean a lot. No wonder you could work quietly in the Chase Group just for his sake and you even wanted to get rid of Eris. Unfortunately for you, Sean is still mine in the end! After I give birth to this child for the Chase Family, everything that once belonged to you will belong to me!”
Finally, all my efforts will not go down the drain!
“What are you talking about? The person Myra loves is my uncle!” Henry retaliated loudly beside them.
Elsie frowned and she laughed coldly. “When adults are speaking, kids shouldn’t interrupt us! No wonder you are so ill-mannered!”
Henry’s expression changed again. “You are the one who’s ill-mannered! George said that you are pregnant with the child of the man from the Chase Family, and he claimed that you are the young lady of the Chase Family. But my mom told me that Sean already has a wife whose surname is Fisher, so it’s obviously not you! You destroyed someone else’s marriage! You’re the illegitimate mistress!”
Henry had asked his mother about Myra’s matters.
To him, the woman who seduced his father was his greatest enemy, while Sean and Lyla were his second greatest enemy. Now, Elsie was also added to his enemy list.
Henry was quite sensitive to relationships in a marriage. Initially, he had no idea who Elsie was but he understood everything now.
He spoke in a loud and clear voice that was filled with rage.
As school was just over, many other parents were also picking up their own children.
Initially, no one paid any attention to the fight here. However, after they heard Henry’s words, they immediately threw disdainful glances at Elsie.
After all, a mistress was the public enemy of all women. Even if she did not seduce their husbands, they hated her all the same.
