Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me novel Chapter 82

After Lyla knocked on the door, Tony’s deep and sexy voice came through. “Come in.”

When she opened the door to enter his office, she knew he was smoking despite the fact that he had his back to her, as she could see the smoke rising from behind the chair. Even though she didn’t get to see his face, she could sense his regal and majestic air.

It’s a pity that he doesn’t belong to me, she mused. “You sure hired a lot of spies to work for you. I am impressed.” Lyla let out a chuckle after she spoke. Ever since they became allies, she had been getting increasingly unscrupulous.

Meanwhile, Tony narrowed his eyes while informing her in an aloof manner, “There are a stack of photos on the table that I suppose will be of use to you.”

Despite her slight surprise, Lyla smiled when she recalled the phone call she received at Zion Club that provided her with the information. “I wonder what your terms are, Mr. Hart. I am still worried that I might not be able to repay you.”

Even though that was what she said, she still picked up the envelope on the desk without hesitation. After slowly opening it, she seemed excited when her eyes lit up as soon as she saw its contents. “Mr. Hart, can I know how Myra Stark offended you?” Lyla asked while browsing through the photos of Myra being intimate with other men. She wore a knowing smile as she spoke. “Why are you so eager to teach her a lesson?”

Due to the angle of the photos that obscured that man’s face, all it showed was that the man had great physique. Therefore, the photos might not have much of an impact if they were published in magazines or tabloids. However, the photos could upset the balance if Sean saw them.

“That’s none of your business. I trust that you know what you should and shouldn’t do.” Tony turned around abruptly. His handsome features made her heart throb while she realized just how much of a shame it was that she couldn’t get her hands on him. Nonetheless, she quickly regained her composure. “All I have is but one request. Keep this between us, lest it gives us more trouble in the future.” After all, she was aiming to marry into the Chase Family, so she didn’t want to complicate things unnecessarily.

“Of course.” Tony arched his brow, his eyes holding a chilly gaze.

Meanwhile, Myra got a call from Lyla not long after she got out of Hart Group. Although she wasn’t planning on answering the call, she was at the same time curious about what Lyla had to say to her. Silence hung in the air when she picked up. After that, Lyla’s slightly hoarse voice came through. “Myra Stark, do you want to know about the child that I had with Sean? I’ll tell you everything if you come to the cafeteria at six in the evening.”

Myra went to the construction site after leaving Hart Group, and she only got back to her car at five o’clock in the afternoon. Feeling somewhat preoccupied, she had to admit that she was tempted by Lyla’s offer. After Sean accused her of such a foul deed, of course she would want to know what happened to Sean and Lyla’s child.

Although Sean claimed that she murdered the child, she never had memories of committing such an atrocity; she didn’t do anything to Lyla and the baby. After spending an entire afternoon pondering on the matter, she ended up getting into the car to drive to the cafeteria.

While on her way there, she passed by another cafeteria. Unexpectedly, she saw Estelle seemingly entangled with another man. She thought Estelle was in trouble, so she parked her car to enter the cafeteria. It was her first time ever dropping by there. The place was quiet and had good privacy, as there were potted plants everywhere that obscured the view of its interior.

When Myra was moving closer to Estelle, she heard Estelle’s shrill voice ringing in the cafeteria. “I’m warning you, Shawn Hart! Stop making any moves on me! Don’t you dare assume that I’ll have to take responsibility just because I f*cked you! If that’s how it is, the men that I would have to take care of would have formed a long line that would reach all the way to City Hall! You’re a man, so act like one!”

Her speech was followed by the somewhat familiar voice of a man. He sounded a bit exasperated as he chided, “Stay still! I’ll f*ck you right here, right now if you move a muscle!”
