Eve was all too familiar with Myra. Even though her face was blurred, her silhouette and status were depicted clearly. How could Eve not know who the woman in the news report was?
Because the Chase Family was ripped off by Myra when she and Sean got divorced, Eve’s impression of her turned negative. Nonetheless, it did not stop her from having positive feelings toward her again after finding out about Myra’s present value. In the times when she loathed Lyla, she felt like she could still accept Myra if she and Sean started seeing each other again.
Since Eve had been occupied with Elsie’s pregnancy, she did not hear about Myra and Tony’s relationship. As far as she knew, there were rumors surrounding Myra and Tony, or more accurately, of Myra and many other men.
In her opinion, as long as Sean persuaded Myra, she would be willing to return to the Chase Family because of how much she loved Sean. Therefore, the scandal that broke out in the entertainment news was like a slap in the face to her. Myra cheated on Sean with another man. On top of that, the sight of her disheveled appearance only made Eve’s eyes fill with indignation.
“Eve, is that Myra? People in the comments are saying it’s her. Tsk, tsk. I didn’t know she was this kind of woman! It’s a good thing your son divorced her! Getting caught up with a woman like her would be a disgrace to the entire family!”
Eve grew paler. She no longer wanted to continue with the spa. After giving an excuse that something urgent had come up, she rushed out of the clubhouse and went straight to Chase Group.
These days, she undoubtedly felt that Sean’s animosity toward Lyla grew even more. Late in the night one time, Eve noticed the lights in Sean’s study still on and decided to make a glass of milk for him. When she arrived at his door, however, she saw him staring blankly at a ring. She had known Myra for two years, so she couldn’t have failed to recognize that ring. It was a ring Myra used to wear as a wedding ring. Even though Eve did not know how it ended up in Sean’s possession, seeing the absent-minded look he had, she had a feeling that he did have some feelings left for Myra, and the realization delighted her.
She did not like Myra, but if she could use her for her own advantage this time, the Chase Family would be in a much better situation than they were in now.
Moreover, she was starting to dislike Lyla almost to the point of hatred now. If it weren’t for the Chase Family’s child she was carrying, Eve would have wanted Sean to divorce her quickly and go back to Myra.
But, after seeing that video in the news, Eve only wanted to get rid of the lingering feelings Sean still had for Myra.
She did not see Sean upon arriving at Chase Group. When Richard informed her that he had gone to Stark Group, the look on her face suddenly turned pale. Taking out her phone, she dialed Sean’s number right away.
…
After Myra ended the call, she turned her phone off with a bitter smile on her face. Thinking of Sebastian’s stern and cold tone over the phone earlier, she tightened her hands around her purse.
She went to the underground parking lot, got in her car, and drove straight to the Hart Residence.
After getting out of the car, she was surprised to see that it wasn’t Sebastian who was waiting for her outside, but Lisa.
A look of surprise flashed across Lisa’s eyes when she saw Myra getting out of the car alone, then she gave her a slight nod. “Sebastian is in his study.”
Myra was nervous and scared during the drive. Upon hearing Lisa’s words, she only felt her palms start to sweat. “I’ll go in right away.”
Outside the car, she took a deep breath and headed inside the villa.
When she had just taken a couple of steps, she heard a calm voice from behind her. “Sebastian is just venting; don’t take it to heart.”
Myra stiffened. Suddenly, she felt a tingling feeling in her nose, and her eyes also turned red.
It had been a long time since she last felt that way. Although Lisa was always reserved around her, she always gave Myra warmth when she needed it the most.
Turning around abruptly, Myra hugged Lisa from the back as Lisa was walking out and murmured, “Thank you. If you’ll let me, I would really like to call you Grandma.”
Lisa was taken aback. There still wasn’t much emotion on her face, but her eyes turned gentler, and she patted Myra’s hand without saying a word.
Myra let her go then turned around and headed inside the house.
…
The house was quiet at the moment. Neither Serena nor Henry was home. It also seemed like the housekeeper was sent away.
As she was walking up the stairs, she felt herself tremble with fear.
Despite only growing more nervous, she still arrived at the study very quickly.
Gritting her teeth, she reached out and knocked on the door.
There was no response. She tightened her hands and knocked once more.
“Come in.”
This time, she got an answer from the person inside, but she could hear the unpleasant and gloomy tone in his voice.
Pushing the door open, she took a couple of steps inside before closing the door behind her.
She took one step after the other toward the desk and was able to see the storm that was brewing in his expression. Her eyelids twitched. “Old Master Hart—”
“Hmph!” A heavy interjection cut off Myra’s attempt to admit to her wrongdoings. In an instant, he tossed the paintbrush he was holding and smudged the painting he was working on. “Impudent brat!” he bellowed at her.
She jumped with fright. Seeing the displeased expression on his face, she clenched her hands nervously and murmured, “I’m sorry.”
“You’re sorry?” Suddenly, he lifted the paper in front of him and shook it in the air. “What’s the point of being sorry? Look at what you’ve both done! Yet I was told you two only met after your divorce! Myra, I’m not against you for being a divorcee. But if you were already involved with that impudent grandson of mine before you got divorced, aren’t the both of you just openly humiliating me?”
“I’m sorry, Old Master Hart.” Myra’s face was slightly pale. “I did start seeing Tony after my divorce. What you saw in the video is actually a misunderstanding. Nothing happened between us that day…”
“Do you two think I’m blind?”
In the video, Myra’s clothes were disheveled, and both her face and ears were red. If she wanted to insist that nothing happened, no one including Sebastian would believe her.
“Tell me. Did you develop feelings for him first or did he? My family has always been upright, but something like this happened today. All this time, you had many chances to explain to me, but you chose to stay silent. I’m very disappointed in you, Myra.”
A deep frown grew between his brows.
He had guessed that the both of them met before Myra’s divorce, but he still held onto the belief that their meeting was a fluke. After all, being involved in an affair was not a pleasant matter.
