Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 104

Myra knew exactly what was going on, but she also knew that no one was going to believe her no matter how she tried to explain herself. Instead, she put on a humorless smile and replied, “I’ve got nothing to say.”

Without haste, Mr. Xavier turned to the group of people behind him. “Tsk-tsk… Looks like Miss Stark has finally decided to confess. What are we waiting for? Someone call the police! Leaking company information is not a trivial matter, and we’d better leave it to the police.”

He was wearing a huge smile on his face, thinking that his words had easily planted fear in Myra. To his shock, she only smiled and nodded. “I think we should inform the police as well. I’ll be getting a lawyer to settle the case. Well then, can I leave now?”

Seeing her casual behavior and aloof way of accepting the decision, Sean was completely infuriated. He stood up and went up to Myra slowly. Over the past few days, his heart was filled with regret as he was feeling guilty toward Myra.

All these years, the woman he loved was Lyla. Even though he hated Myra, he always felt bad about it and had lied to himself out of regret. Despite frequently using his late child as an excuse to keep a distance from her, he was also aware of Myra’s feelings for him. He had even considered increasing her share for their divorce to make up for all those years. However, little did he know how the tables would have turned in a few days!

“Just admit it. If it’s not too serious, I won’t put you through too much trouble, Myra. We are husband and wife, after all.” Sean suddenly spoke, his voice flat and his eyes bearing a cold, sharp gaze. Just as always, this was how he acted whenever he had to talk to her.

His coldness pierced through her heart like a blade. We are husband and wife, after all…

Myra, who was trying hard to keep a calm mind, felt her composure crumble at the sound of his words. Her eyes went red-rimmed as tears welled up, not wanting to look at the faces around her and how they changed after his shocking reveal of their relationship. She stared at him straight ahead. “Has there ever been a time where you’ve done something for me because we’re husband and wife, Sean? All these years, I’ve worked so hard for this company; I’ve given it my all! What makes you think you can just label me as your wife now after everything?!”

“All the evidence is pointing toward you. I just don’t want us to end badly.” Sean suddenly felt that the hatred that he had toward Myra because of the child was gradually fading away.

It was probably because he was finally able to be with Lyla now, or because he felt that the punishment that he had inflicted on her throughout their marriage was enough. Now that they were getting divorced soon, it wouldn’t matter anymore.

“Let me tell you this—I don’t care if we end badly or not, because I never did any of that!” Myra snapped at the man, for she couldn’t hold it in anymore.

Sean went quiet once again as his expression darkened, his already-defined features looking even more horrifying than ever in addition to his simmering rage. He stared at Myra; taking in the hurt in her eyes, he recalled the way that this woman went behind his back to fool around with another man just a while back. He wanted to show her some respect in public, but since she had bitten back first…

“In that case, what’s going on in this photo?!” Sean coldly placed his phone down in front of Myra. “What excuse will you use this time, Myra?!” His voice was ice cold as he demanded, “This photo was taken this morning by Lyla’s friend who works at Hart Group. You told Mom on the phone that you were in the hospital, right? Well, why were you seen outside of Director Hart’s office?! Not only that, why did you leave his office in the middle of the night?!”
