Upon listening to what happened inside the room, his expression soured. After that, he made a sarcastic remark to those around him, “Maybe the young woman deliberately bribed the doctor so that she can marry into the Hart Family. Well, from my point of view, it’s best to get an examination in the hospital. Otherwise, they might be fooled by a young woman working with a doctor and she would end up with the Hart Family!” If Myra is pregnant, it will be even more difficult for Gemma to be married to Tony. In that case, the series of plans that the Walton Family have will not proceed smoothly!
Edward may not have recognized Philip, but everybody from Bradfort City knew of him. Therefore, upon hearing Edward’s sarcastic comments, they retorted in disdain, “If she is able to bribe Young Master Philip, it means that she definitely has the ability to marry into the Hart Family.”
Upon hearing that someone went against him, Edward felt unhappy and was about to refute the person when he saw another middle-aged man squinting at him. Edward was shocked because he recognized the man too. He is Director Renaud, the person in charge of the Renaud Family, which is in second place to the Hart Family in Bradfort City. Director… Renaud… His last name is Renaud…
His expression fell after connecting what the person had said earlier. So, it seems that the doctor is Director Renaud’s son! In the end, he snorted contemptuously. He could not bear to stay a second longer there, so he immediately went downstairs.
Upon arriving downstairs, Edward caught sight of a fuming Shelly in the Ritz Carlton’s back garden. He approached her and asked her with pursed lips, “How did the discussion go?”
She had just been embarrassed by a group of younger people, so she looked extremely upset. “Dad, forget about leaving Tony—that b*tch even tried to blame me for her fall. She is not an easy woman to deal with.” She frowned deeply the more she talked about Myra.
Then, Shelly’s expression changed drastically. “What?! Is she pregnant?!” She raised her voice and many people turned to look at her.
“Keep your voice down!” Edward scolded when he saw people turning to look at them.
Shelly bit her lip and she started to pace with anxiousness. “How could she possibly be pregnant?! She just got together with Tony not too long ago! Dad, if she is pregnant, it will be a huge deterrent to Gemma!” She pursed her lips together. Then, she added worriedly, “Dad, you have to help Gemma!”
“Do I need you to remind me?!” Edward was extremely agitated upon recalling what he had heard earlier. My granddaughter has accomplished nothing apart from causing trouble! It has been so many years, but she has failed to pursue Tony. Instead, she allows a woman, who has just shown up, to snatch him. “Instruct Gemma to snatch Tony as soon as possible. Do it, no matter what it takes. I believe that woman might very well be pregnant. Since she is pregnant, Gemma would stand a chance too. As long as Gemma gets pregnant with Tony’s child, I will have my way to ensure the Hart Family welcomes Gemma into their wealthy family!”
Shelly nodded in response. “Sure, I will inform Gemma. Dad, Gideon said that the sum of money requires urgent laundering. If it drags any longer, he might not be able to keep it buried.” She was just about to leave, but she suddenly recalled what Gideon had told her. Therefore, she hastily updated Edward.
Edward’s expression turned gloomy upon hearing that. Then, he answered in a stern voice, “Got it.” He paused for a while before he added. “How has the Central Square project been recently?”
“Stark Group has waived their right to apply and are fully helping the Walton Group to procure the project. The main large families from Bradfort City are not too interested in that project. After all, it is not a money-making project. Gideon has visited a few important officials and I believe there are not many issues there.”
“In that case, get ready and head up…” Edward lowered his voice into a barely-audible whisper. However, Shelly seemed to have understood him and she nodded before walking away.
Edward gazed at Shelly’s back when she walked away, but his eyebrows were knitted tightly together. He just couldn’t relax.
…
It was a different atmosphere altogether in the room as members of the Hart Family were congratulating Myra. After all, the unborn child would be Sebastian’s long-awaited paternal great-grandchild. It would be his first and naturally, he was delighted.
She politely thanked everybody.
After a while, he chased everybody out of the room by claiming that Myra needed her rest, especially since she had a frail body.
Once the room was quiet, Sebastian cleared his throat lightly while looking at her with unbridled joy. “Myra, from now on, don’t get worked up about certain issues. You just have to take care of your health and let Tony look after you. If he doesn’t do a good job, return to the Hart Residence. Lisa and I will personally care for you. Furthermore, don’t feel pressured at all because we are both extremely modern people. We believe that having a boy or girl is the same. We will have to be extra strict if it’s a boy. If it turns out to be a girl, we will spoil her like a little princess. If your father angers you in the future, just come home and tell me. I will reprimand him in person!” he reassured Myra.
Sebastian was extremely excited after receiving news of her pregnancy.
Myra felt a warmth spread across her heart. “Old Master Hart, I know.” Then, she turned to look at Tony with a raised brow. “Tony, you heard that. If you do not look after me well, I’ll go to Old Master Hart.”
“Are you still calling him Old Master Hart?” Tony cocked his brow at her too.
She was astounded, whereas Sebastian commented unabashedly, “It is time to call us Grandpa and Grandma.”
Myra’s cheeks blushed a deep red and she greeted him in a tiny voice, “Grandpa.”
He broke into a happy grin. “I will head downstairs to check on the chicken soup. You should rest for now.” Then, he turned to leave the room. He closed the door behind him when he left too.
When they were the only two left in the room, Myra nudged Tony. “You are the birthday boy today. A huge crowd is waiting to chat with you downstairs. You don’t have to worry about me. I will rest well here.”
“Let them wait.” He sat by her bedside and bent down to get closer to her face. Then, he kissed her eyebrows, the tip of her nose, and her lips.
In the past, before meeting Myra, I thought that my successful career will be the only thing accompanying me for the rest of my life. I thought that I would have married the right sort of woman while having 2 or 3 lovers at the side. I figured I would live a cold, colorless life. However, I met Myra that year and everything changed drastically. When a man has feelings, he will have a weakness, but I feel lucky that Myra is my weakness. Tony pressed his forehead against hers and he chuckled in a rumbling voice, “Nobody is more important than my Myra.”
“Tony, have you been secretly learning how to sweet talk from Elliot? You are becoming rather good at it.” Myra giggled in amusement.
Tony raised his brows at her. “Don’t you like it?”
Sweet talks are just like roses. Women might claim that it’s old-fashioned, but who would actually hate it? “I like it…” She pouted before her lips pressed against his thin lips.
His smile broadened and he pulled a thin blanket to cover her. “Are you hungry? Why don’t I request the kitchen to send some food up for you?”
She had been drinking alcohol during the banquet earlier. Fortunately, she didn’t overdo it, so it’s not detrimental to the baby in her womb. Upon thinking of that, Tony reached out to caress Myra’s belly.
She felt rather hungry at that point, so she nodded. “Yes, I am slightly hungry.”
Tony took out his cell phone to phone Serena with the request to send some food up.
The entire room was filled with warmth and happiness.
