That’s why I wanted to quickly wrap Tony around my finger. I did not expect him to be such a difficult man with such a weird state of mind. I can’t figure him out at all!
“But, Myra is currently in charge of another project…” Kris refused to give up. She suddenly blurted out, “Besides, Dad, you know that Myra only returned to the Stark Group to retake the company shares from you. Making her the general manager… What if she gradually seizes power and takes control of the Stark Group?!”
Cameron’s expression turned grim, but the change was barely visible. He quickly turned around. “Kris, I know what you’re thinking. A man like Tony Hart won’t be satisfied with just one woman—he is well aware of the differences between women. Myra has been abandoned by the Stark Family for a long time. Meeting him was luck and making him reach out to help her was her ability. Still, this kind of ability will not last for long.” At this point, he paused with a rather mocking smile curling the corners of his lips. “This kind of ability… will probably fail once Hilliville falls into his hands completely. But, you… If you want to stand beside him, you will need to learn patience first.”
“Dad, you’re just beating around the bush. At the end of the day, you still want to throw Myra into Tony’s bed!” Her expression was slightly distorted. She took a deep breath, preventing her lungs from exploding out of rage. “You just encouraged me to pursue Tony romantically this morning…”
“That’s because I didn’t know that Myra was one step ahead of you; I didn’t know she was already in a relationship with that man.” He could tell that she wasn’t happy. When it came down to it, he doted on this daughter more. He thought about her mother and softened his voice. “Since Tony likes Myra, what’s the big deal with giving her to him? In the end, she is going to be thrown away like that time with Sean. It won’t be any different.”
“But—”
“No need for buts.” She seemed like she still had more to say. However, he cut her words off directly. The impatience in his expression was gradually growing stronger. “Leave. Organize the data and transfer it to Myra. The Elsinore Garden Project must succeed; failure is not an option!”
Kris’ expression changed many times. When she saw that he did not wish to continue with the conversation anymore, she furiously stormed out of the office.
Behind her, his expression became sullen. No wonder Myra wasn’t interested in the conditions I offered her—she’s found herself a backer. Hmph… By the time she comes crawling back to me after being deceived and robbed of everything, it will be too late… Besides, it’s only a position of a general manager in the company—it’s no big deal. The Stark Group is still in my hands. All these years I managed the company was not for nothing. What can she do even if I named her the president of the company? As long as I refuse to give my approval, she won’t even get a single thing from the Stark Group.
Cameron suddenly recalled the words Myra’s mother had uttered with a savage expression back then. His expression became slightly distorted in response, then he closed his eyes.
Kris returned to her office and immediately swept all the documents on her desk to the ground. Outside the office, her assistant didn’t even dare to check on her after hearing the commotion inside. During the time they worked together, her assistant was already familiar with her unstable mood swings. She would surely take her frustrations out on anybody that went into the office at this time.
After another while, the door of the elevator opened on this floor and a gracefully dressed lady walked out of the elevator. She carried two thermos flasks in her hands with a warm smile on her face. When her assistant saw the lady, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Mrs. Stark, I’m so glad you’re here.”
Rachel was stunned by the assistant’s expression for a moment. Then, she smilingly asked, “What’s wrong?”
