Sean had never seen this side of Myra. Suddenly, there was an odd feeling in his chest; it was as if he had taken pity on her. However, he quickly remembered that she was the same woman who had recently revealed her true intentions. He forced himself to stick to his decision. Myra was wicked and despicable! How could he ever take pity on her?!
“So you’re not admitting what you’ve done?” Sean’s expression remained still as a pond.
“Make a police report if you want. Whatever it is, I’ll never admit to something I didn’t do! Never!”
Myra didn’t want to be around these people a second longer, proceeding to whirl and stomp outside.
As the elevator stopped on the floor and opened with a ding, Eve was seen rushing out hastily.
Meanwhile, Myra quickly stepped into the elevator and pressed a button before Eve could make out who she was.
By the time Eve finally realized and shouted after her, the elevator door had closed and was already rapidly descending.
The surrounding atmosphere was still and heavy; everyone in the room looked troubled and uneasy.
Eve had an awful look on her face. She had just spotted that woman standing right next to her son—Lyla!
Suddenly, everything seemed to make sense. Heading straight toward Lyla, she planted a slap right on her cheek without hesitation.
Lyla was quite shocked; she had initially planned to stall until Eve’s arrival so that she could take a good look at everything that happened because of Myra. But before Eve could even find out about anything, Myra had taken her leave in a hurry.
“What are you doing, Mom?!” Sean’s face fell.
Eve shot a death glare at her son. Bringing home a tramp like that—no wonder he was having problems with Myra! If this woman hadn’t been stirring up trouble between those two, Sean wouldn’t have been so stubborn! This breach of our company’s private information must’ve been the work of this little tramp as well!
“Sean, what is she doing here?!”
Tilly, who was on the ground floor, ran over to Myra as soon as she saw her getting off the elevator.
She stopped at the sight of Myra’s face and asked worriedly, “What’s the matter, Miss Stark? Are you okay?”
Since she was kidnapped by the construction workers last night, Tilly had given a statement to the police and was supposed to be taking a rest at home. Upon hearing that Myra was involved in some issue at the company, she came running back to the Chase Headquarters. At the very least, she had to give an explanation of what happened on the construction site yesterday.
Much to her shock, she had only just found out that Miss Stark was married to the Director of their company…
However, there was actually a reason behind the photo that was being circulated like wildfire…
“I’m fine.” Myra looked up. Seeing that it was Tilly, she forced a smile. “I didn’t do any of those things, so I’m not afraid of what they’re saying about me.”
Am I really fine, though?
For the first time, she had totally given up on this place.
Besides Eve and Tilly, no one here really cared about her…
“About what happened yesterday at the construction site…” Noticing that Myra didn’t look too good, Tilly waited for a bit before asking, “Did you tell them?”
“Would anyone believe me?” Myra shook her head. As she had witnessed, their evidence against her was strong and solid. Her motive of stealing the documents was even justified with only a photo.
“Tilly, I’m not feeling well right now; my mind is in a mess. I’d like to be alone.” Myra took a deep breath.
Tilly took a worried glance at her before she finally nodded. “Alright then, Miss Stark. You should go. I’ll update you if anything happens here.”
She watched as Myra entered the elevator. As the doors closed, Tilly rushed to a corner and quickly dialed a number on her phone.
As soon as the recipient picked up, she spoke. “Director Hart…”
