Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 267

Soon, the public started to condemn Myra. On top of that, the time when the Stark Family kicked her out of the house was also exposed. They called her malicious for harming the child her stepmother carried twice, promiscuous for cheating on several men while married to the director of Chase Group, and despicable for selling her own husband’s company’s trade secrets without hesitation in order to seek connections with influential families.

Myra did not have to look to know how vicious the comments were. Drawing in a sharp breath, she took a step back. I didn’t think Gemma would risk everything to release this video to the public. She didn’t even stop to think about the Hart Family and Tony’s reputation!

“Miss Stark, what should we do now? Should we issue a statement to deny the news report?” Tilly felt so anxious that she was sweating on her cheeks.

It was obvious that they had underestimated Gemma’s ruthlessness. Tilly was too afraid to even think about what the Hart Family would think of Myra if they saw the video.

“Or… we could ask Director Hart to clarify this situation to the public.” A bright light flickered across her eyes as if she had found a chance.

“No!” Myra refuted with clenched teeth and a slightly sullen expression on her face.

She knew better than anyone that the video was real. Currently, the media was focused on her and had not dragged Tony in yet. But, if he stood out to clarify the matter, it would only drag him down with her. I don’t want to see people attaching all kinds of filthy labels to him.

“What do we do then?” Tilly was pacing around Myra.

After she heard the group of women whispering among themselves, she quickly checked the entertainment news and was not expecting something this big to have happened. It had spread everywhere and was garnering harsh criticism from the public.

Myra clenched her fists tightly. At this moment, she did not know what to do either. Has Tony seen all of this? Has the Hart Family seen all of this? Old Master Hart is finally seeing me in a different light. Will he go back to thinking that I am one of those shameless women because of this video?

…

‘Tony, I don’t know why you’re protecting that woman, Myra, but you better think through this carefully! She came to seduce you before she got a divorce. She is clearly a woman of loose standards, but she still pretends to be weak and innocent in front of you. Don’t let her fool you!’

‘You didn’t see how she was exchanging glances with Director Chase at Stark Group today! They colluded with each other to bully me! I won’t say any more on this. I just don’t want you to get blindsided by her!’

‘Old Master Hart, Old Madam Hart, and the rest of the Hart Family will see her true self. Tony, you will come to understand my efforts!’

…

Several texts poured in one after the other on Tony’s phone. Even if it was from a new number he had never seen before, he still knew the identity of the woman who sent those texts to him.

His face darkened considerably. A moment later, his phone rang, but this time, it was not that woman. Seeing Leo’s name on the screen, he answered the call with a sullen expression.

“Bad news, Director Hart. The video Miss Hay took from the hotel was released on the internet! People are criticizing Miss Stark online. It’s impossible to stop all the gossip now!”

In all the years Leo worked with Tony, he rarely ever sounded that alarmed.

When he saw those entertainment articles earlier, only one thought crossed his mind—we’re doomed.
