Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 273

Lyla heard the entire conversation between the two people in the office.

From the way Sean defended Myra, she could tell how much he was yearning for her.

And Eve’s statement…

‘If you don’t like Lyla anymore, then I promise I’ll find you a better woman in the future.’

It caused an indescribable sense of bitterness and anger to bloom in Lyla’s heart.

Even if she was already aware of Eve’s personality, and even if she had anticipated the predicament she encountered now, imagining it and experiencing it were two completely different things.

Lately, she was truly tired, as she had been busy dealing with Eve and his mistress.

At the thought of the woman named Elsie being all high and mighty in front of her because she had Eve’s backing, Lyla clenched her fists as hatred washed over her.

She was well aware of the reason Eve repeatedly postponed the abortion of Elsie’s baby. She was just reluctant to get rid of the fetus in Elsie’s belly after finding out that it was a boy.

Lyla gritted her teeth when she thought of the fact that the child in Elsie’s belly was a boy.

Elsie doesn’t know her place, and neither does Eve. The birth of that child would definitely threaten her current status.

Thinking of Eve and Sean’s conversation gradually brought Lyla to a state of despair.

Although she was now the Young Mistress of the Chase Family, Sean’s wife, and Eve’s daughter-in-law, they didn’t take her seriously!

A dark gleam flashed across her eyes. She didn’t enter the office but left the place instead.

When Eve walked out of Sean’s office, one of Sean’s assistants told her that Lyla had just been there, but had left for some reason.

When Eve heard the assistant mention Lyla, her mood turned for the worse.

She couldn’t stand having that woman stay in the Chase Family either! She had almost gotten it figured out. After she gave birth to the child, she would think of a way to drive her out of the Chase Family. She wouldn’t let her stay in the Chase Family for another second more!

“Understood.”

Eve gave the assistant a dismissive wave but suddenly thought of something, so she called the assistant back. “When did you say Miss Lyla arrived?”

“A short while after four. Not long after Director Chase returned,” the assistant answered honestly.

There was a slight change in Eve’s expression. She pressed her lips together, seemingly thinking of something. Then, she left with a sour look on her face.

“What I said just now wasn’t a joke. I want to marry Myra. I don’t want to delay it any longer.”

Sebastian reckoned he shouldn’t have told them to get lost. He should’ve been the one to leave, lest he died of anger right here because of these two people.

Upon hearing Tony’s words, Myra shot him a nervous glance, but he simply returned her a comforting look. Giving her hand a tighter squeeze, he said calmly, “Old Master Hart, I know that you’ve been doing research about wedding ceremonies for some time now, and we’re not overly particular either. Naturally, whatever you decide will be the best option.”

“Stop trying to flatter me!” It went without saying that Sebastian knew his grandson’s behavior! Just now, Tony was arrogant and cold, yet now he was buttering him up. How could he not know what his grandson was up to?

Sebastian had indeed started thinking about hosting the wedding some time ago, as he quite liked Myra. But, with the current situation, how could he still be in the mood to continue with the wedding?
