Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 111

“What’s the matter?” Tony asked impassively.

Elliot gloated at once. “What else do you think? Old Master Hart nearly spat blood in anger after you and Myra’s public display of affection at Wilson Golf Club.”

“Well, he can pretend that he didn’t see me then.” Tony leisurely leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes. Won’t I be yelled at if I call him back? Since they’re so desperate for a granddaughter-in-law, I’ll bring one back.

Meanwhile, Sean took Lyla and Eve back to the Chase Residence after the incident at Chase Group. Eve didn’t agree to go home at first, but she had to keep her temper after watching the video Sean showed her.

Honestly, she didn’t quite believe that Myra would do something unfair to them, but what Myra did in the video forced her to be suspicious. Do I… really not understand Myra at all?

Sean had asked Lyla to go downstairs for the time being, leaving only him and Eve in the bedroom at this moment.

Looking as though she had grown ten years older in an instant, Eve felt quite bad upon seeing her son standing at one side in silence. “Sean, I know that you probably learned about what I’ve done to Lyla since she has come back to you. That’s right—I met Lyla back then and asked her to leave you. But I did this for a reason, son… Do you hate me for my actions? Do you hate me because I wanted you to marry Myra although you love Lyla and not her?”

Sean stood stubbornly in place without saying a word, but Eve could tell what he was thinking. She continued with a sigh, “You won’t understand it… You’re totally obsessed with Lyla right now, but you’ll regret it someday… You know what? Not only is Myra a kind-hearted lady,

Suddenly, she coughed heavily before she could finish her sentence. Seeing that her face had turned red from coughing, Sean found himself unable to bear the sight. “Stop talking, Mom. I know that you like Myra, but please don’t care about this matter anymore. Now that Lyla and I are finally back together after being separated for two years, I don’t want to break up with her again.”

“No, Sean… You mustn’t divorce Myra…” Eve took a deep breath. “At the very least, you can’t do that right now… Sean, had you been nicer to Myra, she wouldn’t have been too hard on you for being together with Lyla. You can keep that woman as a mistress, but you mustn’t make her your wife. A woman like her will only come to you at the most glorious moment of your life. Once you’re in dire straits, only a woman like Myra will never leave you!”

Sean didn’t utter a sound, for he knew that his mother liked Myra and hated Lyla. Lyla was inferior to Myra; she wasn’t from a family like the Starks, nor could she give him the Stark Group’s 20 percent of shares that Myra had given to him back then. However, now that the money Myra invested in the company back then had become worthless right now, why would his mother still want him to be together with Myra?! “Stop it, Mom—” Sean muttered. “It’s my own business, so I know what to do.”

“You don’t have the slightest idea!” Eve suddenly chastised with emphasis before coughing with emotion. “You’re completely unaware that the late Old Master Stark has left a will behind, and the vast fortune of Stark Group is willed not to his son, but to his granddaughter! You just have to be patient for a while longer so that Myra gives you everything! My effort all these years would’ve bore fruit, yet you hurt Myra for Lyla’s sake. Do you think that she’ll still hand Stark Group over to you now?!”

Eve coughed violently again after finishing her sentence, but Sean forgot to help her relieve her cough this time. Instead, he stared at his mother in shock.

The Stark Family had only two daughters, so its fortune would end up belonging to the families of the daughters’ respective husbands; this was part of the reason why his mother had settled on Myra back then. However, the late Old Master Stark actually bequeathed all of Stark Family’s wealth to his granddaughter instead of his son in his will!

Sean furrowed his brows upon hearing Eve’s words. “Is that true, Mom?!”
