Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 143

Was Elliot inside the car back then?

In the next moment, the car’s engine started and left.

Myra shook her head at her own thoughts and went on to play with Meow before she brought it back to her house.

The schedule had been packed recently. Once the men from the business circle were done with dinner, one of them suggested they visit a nightclub. It was something they had gotten used to doing.

When Tony got up on his feet, he casually grabbed his suit jacket before he loosened his tie slightly without an expression. Standing beside him was a similarly tall and handsome man. The man let out a low chuckle and said to Tony, “My sister called you yesterday night, and when you didn’t answer the call, she was so infuriated that she smashed the new desk lamp we just got recently. That honor is yours alone. Apart from you, I really don’t know who can control her.” He sounded gloomy yet evil, and his words were ambiguous.

Even though Tony heard that, his expression remained stoic. He simply put out the lit cigarette in his hand and glanced at the man who spoke earlier. “Our former partnership was solely about business.”

The gloomy man was stunned for a second before he narrowed his eyes. “I’m just kidding. Look at you; we just divided up the company, and now you’re already so eager to cut ties with the Walton Family? If I didn’t know you, I would have thought that you really despised our family.”

Tony didn’t respond to his words. After he put on his suit jacket, he walked straight to the door. “I won’t go later. Be sure to keep the others entertained.”

His voice was calm. At work, Tony managed to work out a lot of deals no matter how tough they may be with his calm and collected nature.

For that reason, Gideon Walton chose him as his partner in setting up a company. Of course, the Hart Family’s forces behind him were something Gideon had his eyes on as well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have encouraged his sister to go after a man who seemed so heartless. Furthermore, the Walton Family’s company in the United States had encountered some issues. Although there was no solution for the time being, and he could only agree with Tony’s idea to divide the company, as long as his sister was married to him, what happened afterward was not a problem.

However…

After he thought for a moment, he twitched his lips and asked tentatively, “All these years, even though you never found yourself a woman, you would never leave me alone when there’s a big contract. Did Young Master Tony finally change his personality?”

Yet, Tony looked like he didn’t hear his question. The room fell silent for a moment and soon, his figure disappeared in the doorway.

Inside the room, the smile on Gideon’s face slowly froze. A layer of a gloomy fog that couldn’t seem to clear away quickly formed under his eyes. Immediately, he took his phone out and called someone. When the phone was connected, he let out a smirk. A touch of malice glinted in his eyes; it wasn’t there when Tony was in front of him. “Gemma, you better hurry up. I’m afraid that you might fall behind and lose his heart!”

At the moment, the young lady of the Walton Family, Gemma Walton, was driving. Upon hearing her brother’s warning, she was puzzled. “Gideon, what are you talking about? Wasn’t Tony out with you today to talk business?”

“Talk business?” Remembering how Tony had left the room and told him to keep the others entertained, Gideon couldn’t help but sneer. “I think you’re too at ease. His heart isn’t with you, yet you let him stay in Bradfort City for so long! Gemma, do you still think that he was joking about dividing the company? The contract has already come into effect this afternoon. Your Tony only left me ten percent of the company’s shares!”
