“Are you trying to sell yourself despite your looks?” Tony cruelly asked through his pursed thin lips.
Upon seeing that Gemma’s expression changed drastically when she heard that, he tightened his grip. It caused her to immediately scream in pain, “Release me! Let go of me… You are hurting me… Tony…”
“Gemma—” He shoved her hand away ruthlessly and she stumbled a few steps backward. His gaze was cold and distant when he glared at the fearful woman in front of him. “Even if you are the only woman alive on earth, I would rather choose to be alone without a woman.”
The color drained from Gemma’s face and a wave of humiliation washed over her. Tears started to brim in her eyes as she felt sorry for herself. “Tony, I just want to help you to release your frustrations because I know that Myra is pregnant now and you just can’t… You just…” She appeared especially hurt at that point. “She is pregnant now, so I am sure that you have been feeling frustrated. I have accepted reality—I will not be a hindrance if you are in love with her, but I would like to continue loving you in silence. I will be by your side once in a while whenever you need me. Can’t I do that?!”
She tried her best to appear especially pitiful.
Tony shot her a mocking look. He wanted to push her away, but she was pressing against him stubbornly.
The sharp and intense perfume felt like an assault to his senses whereas Gemma kept whispering in his ear, “I am capable of doing whatever Myra has done for you. Tony, I know that you will not be satisfied with just one woman. How could a man like you possibly be satisfied with just one woman? I will never destroy your family. I just want you to be with me occasionally…”
“Shut up!” His eyes reflected his annoyance. “Gemma, I will only say this one—get lost!”
“I won’t!” Her tears had smeared her makeup and she looked especially pitiful. “Well, you guys enjoy Myra because she has exceptional skills in bed! She is able to do that because she has had experience with countless men in bed! Tony, I have never been with a man before. You are the only one in my heart, but I am sure that I will perform as well as her. I—”
Before she could complete her sentence, Gemma felt a sudden waft of deadly aura.
She felt her skin crawl and the next thing she knew, Tony was strangling her by her neck. Then, their positions switched when he shoved her hard against the wall. “Cough, cough… To… Cough, cough… Tony… Let go… of… m-me… I-I can’t… breath…”
Tony stared indifferently at the flushed woman in front of him. He stared at her as though she was nothing but a corpse. Instead of loosening his grip around Gemma’s neck, he squeezed it even tighter. “Gemma, do you truly believe that nobody knows about the filthy things you did in the Stark Group yesterday? You should be thanking your lucky stars that Myra is safe and sound. If something had happened to her, do you believe that you’ll be standing alive and kicking in front of me today?”
His gaze was calm and steady, but it felt like he was just hiding a raging storm. His dark gaze had scared her witless and she started to forcefully struggle. However, she was losing her strength rapidly and she was starved of oxygen. Soon, she couldn’t even string a coherent sentence together. “Cough, cough… To… Cough, cough…”
“If you dare to provoke Myra again, I have no qualms in showing you in advance the consequences of provoking me.” Tony suddenly squeezed Gemma’s neck with force. She assumed that she would be dead in the hands of the man standing in front of her after the sudden, shooting pain across her neck. However, almost instantaneously, he released her neck.
When his forceful grip suddenly disappeared, Gemma slid down onto the floor like a spineless animal.
She gasped for air while coughing non stop—she felt that she was about to cough her lungs out! The dread of death filled every inch of her body and she started to shake violently in fear too.
The man in front of me… He wanted to kill me! He wanted to murder me! He displayed his cruelty and murderous intent blatantly in front of me! The more she thought about it, the harder Gemma shook!
Nevertheless, Tony merely glanced at her while maintaining a blank expression. Then, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe his hands clean. He tossed the handkerchief beside her. “Bradfort City is not a place where you can behave atrociously. Please take into consideration the situation that the Walton Family is currently in.”
After saying what he wanted to, he calmly made his way to the direction where he parked his car.
He had a casual elegance coupled with a dominant forceful presence. Gemma found it deeply seductive, but she was simultaneously scared and afraid of it.
Why is he willing to do anything for the sake of Myra?! Why?! Why does Myra get this type of treatment?! I knew him before Myra did! I am prettier than her and my family background is better than hers! I am even more talented than her! Why is he in love with Myra?! Why does Myra get to be pregnant with his child?! I have rejected countless men from noble and wealthy families all these years for him. In the end, he is unfazed by my efforts. He even wants to murder me! Hatred and anger filled Gemma’s chest and she felt that it was on the verge of bursting! I cannot have him! If I cannot have that man, I will make sure that Myra can’t have him too! A crazy idea formed in her mind all of a sudden. Before she could make a rational decision, she mustered her strength to rise to her feet. Then, she ran toward her sports car.
She closed the car door and without even wearing her seatbelt, she started the car engine. Then, she immediately drove it in the direction of Tony’s car.
There was a truck driving not far from the underground car park. She was only focused on one thing in her mind, which was to speed forward to crash into his car!
When the big truck drove toward them, Gemma floored the accelerator with full force and her car shot forward like a bullet. There was a loud crash before three vehicles violently crashed into each other.
The nearby crowd erupted into a commotion.
…
Tony was working overtime tonight, so Myra and members of the Hart Family did not wait for him to have their dinner. The housekeeper only kept a portion of food for him.
After dinner, Myra accompanied Lisa and Sebastian for a stroll.
Along the way were mostly wealthy and noble family members of the Bradfort City. The three of them greeted numerous familiar faces during their leisurely stroll. During their earlier encounter, after exchanging pleasantries, they naturally shifted their focus onto Myra. “This must be… Young Master Tony’s fiancée, am I right?” the person asked Sebastian with a smile. Tony had been generating quite a lot of news at Bradfort City lately.
Sebastian proudly lifted his head, but he answered with a casual tone, “Yeah, Myra recently fell pregnant. We just had our dinner, so we invited her for a stroll.”
That person’s grandson liked to fool around too. Hence, forget about a great-grandson, he had not even met his future granddaughter-in-law. Therefore, he was especially envious of Sebastuan and embarrassed. After they chatted for a bit, they parted ways.
Myra knew that Sebastian was sensitive about his reputation, so she introduced herself obediently in front of all his friends during their walk. He was especially satisfied and even gloated at one point. Lisa felt helpless by his demeanor.
“Forget about him. Just let me know if you are tired and we will head back home to rest,” she reassured Myra.
Myra shook her head in response. “I am not tired. I am enjoying the walk after staying at home for the whole day.”
However, right after she said that, they bumped into somebody familiar—it was none other than Eve, also known as Mrs. Chase of the Chase Family.
