Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 244

“President Hart…” Lyla clenched her fists that dangled on both sides of her body.

If I can go back in time, I won’t be so stupid as to frame Myra when I knew that she was together with Tony in the beginning, and I certainly won’t come to Tony’s office to say those things. At the very least, I won’t make my relationship with Tony to be so tense on the surface.

“Do you know why I decided to talk to you in the end, Miss Fisher?” Tony took his cigarette away with a cold expression as he looked at the woman in front of him.

Lyla’s heart pumped faster but she forced herself to ask, “Why?”

“What I say are never empty words. When you targeted Myra the other day, you should have thought of what would happen today,” Tony commented indifferently as he extinguished his cigarette.

Upon hearing that, Lyla’s expression changed immediately.

“What do you mean, Director Hart?”

“Lyla, you can’t even take care of Elsie, yet you still dream of having a stable position as Mrs. Chase?” His tone was calm as his fingers intertwined together. “If you are smart enough, you would never allow today’s situation to happen.”

Lyla clenched her fists tightly. “I don’t understand what you mean, Director Hart. You must be worried if my position as Mrs. Chase isn’t stable. After all, Myra has only divorced Sean not too long ago. If I go and divorce Sean now, can you really guarantee that nothing would ensue because of that?”

Tony’s eyes narrowed as he stared her down quietly.

Lyla’s back was drenched with sweat upon facing such a situation, so she took a deep breath. After a while, she saw Tony chuckling softly with a hint of mockery on his face. “Are you threatening me?”

“Of course I wouldn’t dare to. I was merely breaking down the facts for you,” Lyla replied in a hoarse voice.

Upon hearing that, Tony leaned back in his chair and lit another cigarette. Soon, the smoke slowly rose from the end of the cigarette.

“Do you know why is Elsie so smart? She did not look for Sean in the beginning. Instead, she went to his mother, Mrs. Chase, after her pregnancy stabilized,” Tony suddenly murmured in a calm tone.

Lyla knew about Elsie, the former employee of the Chase Group; she used to be in the same department as Myra. Of course, she was also with Sean for a while.

Why did Tony suddenly bring this up? Could it be that…

Her face turned pale. “It was you—”

“Indeed,” Tony said nonchalantly as he flicked his cigarette, making the ashes fall to the ground. “What Elsie did is just a punishment to you. I’ve told you not to provoke Myra.”

Lyla lost control of her footing and retreated a few steps. “Director Hart, by treating me like this, aren’t you afraid that I will tell Myra—”

“You met Gemma downstairs?” Tony interrupted her calmly.

His emotionless and piercing stare swept past Lyla, and the woman immediately shivered.

“Miss Fisher, I’m sure you don’t want to defend yourself against the Walton and the Hart Family at the same time.” Tony’s eyes narrowed. “This is your last time seeing me here. Don’t appear in front of me ever again.”

“Director Hart, I’m begging you; please help me…” Lyla shuddered after she returned to her senses and she took a few steps in Tony’s direction. “I can handle Elsie by myself but the Walton Family… Director Hart, I’m begging you! Please help me this time! As long as you tell Gideon that I’m on your side, he won’t touch me easily! Please, Director Hart; I beg you! I swear to God that I will never tell Myra anything as long as you agree to lend me a hand!”

Now that Gideon was involved, the trouble caused by Elsie was considered nothing at all.

As soon as Lyla remembered the man who resembled a demon, she could no longer keep her cool.
