As Sean’s memories returned to him, he seemed to remember seeing Myra drive a silver Bentley Mulsanne once. At the time, a man was also sitting in the back of the car. Later on, he found out that the car belonged to Tony.
When confidential information at Chase Group in Hilliville was stolen, Myra had come out of Tony’s office awkwardly.
She was held at the detention center that same night, but by the time Sean made it there, someone had already taken her away. At the time, it was this black Maybach that drove past him. Is this the man who took her away back then? And the Sunny Bay Project… Sean recalled that Myra and Elsie had gotten into an argument, but shortly after that, Elsie was fired mercilessly from the Hart Group. Now it seems like that was also this man’s doing. Or was the Sunny Bay Project meant for Myra all along?
Too many traces had been left behind. Before Sean believed all of this, he never thought to link the two of them together, but now, he did not have a choice anymore. She already betrayed me two months ago! Was this divorce for the sake of me and Lyla, or for Myra and Tony?
A rage he had never felt before flowed through his body. A plethora of emotions flickered across his face, but he settled on looking somber. He stopped responding to Tony and only kept his eyes fixed on Myra.
Her brows started to pull together under his stare while Tony narrowed his eyes and tightened his arm around her waist.
Seeing the two of them that way only made Sean’s face grow darker. Turning around, he sat inside his black Lamborghini, started the engine right away, and left after making a turn.
As soon as his car disappeared from sight, Tony loosened his facial expression and let go of Myra’s waist. Then, he started to walk toward his sports car.
Myra was taken aback, but she quickly followed after him with the bag in her hand.
After he sat inside his car, he closed the door immediately and started the engine.
Just as she was about to open the door to the passenger side of the car, however, the doors locked from the inside.
Out of surprise, she shot a quick look at the man in the driver’s seat.
He did not look too good at the moment. After he got in the car, he lit a cigarette and let the smoke cover his face, making it hard for her to see his expression clearly.
For some reason, though, she knew that he looked somewhat aloof now.
She knocked on the glass window a few times. Afraid that he couldn’t hear her, she shouted, “Tony, what’s wrong?”
With the cigarette between his fingers, he cast a sidelong glance at her and wound down the windows slightly to let the smoke out.
She quickly ran to the other side, but before she could ask him anything else, the car suddenly took off like an arrow. He did not even look back at her once.
Because she was leaning against the car door, she immediately fell to the ground as soon as the car left.
A sharp pain rose from her knees and her eyes suddenly became red as she stared at the cement ground.
She watched the car disappear from her field of vision, then slowly crawled back up without making a sound and looked at the plastic bag beside her. Thinking that he might stay at her place occasionally, she had gone to the supermarket to restock some of his daily products.
Taking the bag with her, she walked to a nearby trash can to throw the things away, but alas, she was unable to.
“That b*stard. It’s not like I did anything! I wasn’t the one who invited that guy over to my place…”
Feeling disheartened, she bit her lip and started to head back. After taking a couple of steps, however, the car that sped off earlier came back around again and stopped right in front of her.
