Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 202

All in all, did Tony help me enter the Chase Family so that he could claim Myra for himself?

Lyla’s whole body was drenched in cold sweat upon this realization, and she couldn’t control the icy feeling permeating from within her heart either.

“Director Hart… I’m sure you wouldn’t want Myra to find out who gave me those photos, right?” Lyla blinked slowly, her expression full of anger and resentment. As she stared at the man in front of her, she was reluctant to accept what was going on.

The Hilliville Project’s doing so well right now. Obviously, Tony must have had his eyes on the development of Hilliville since back then. Could it be that he’s in fact after Myra’s stake in the project?

As soon as Tony heard Lyla’s words, his expression became unreadable. “Miss Fisher, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to do that.”

“Why wouldn’t I?” For a split second, Lyla’s emotions went out of control as she yelled at him. Upon noting his unflappable attitude, she forced herself to calm down. Biting on her lower lip, she stared at Tony while she questioned, “Tell me, Director Hart—are you interested in Myra or the Hilliville project?”

“Miss Fisher, if you’re intelligent enough, you should keep a tight grip on the Chase Family as per what you’ve done previously.” Tony suddenly took a puff of his cigarette. The billowing smoke that ensued masked not only the expression on his face, but also the flash of coldness in his eyes.

“Keep a tight grip on the Chase Family…” Lyla immediately tightened her fists.

He’s right. It’s quite evident that I’m gripping tightly onto them. If it wasn’t for this child, I wouldn’t be on speaking terms with them right now. Eve and Sean’s attitude toward me isn’t exactly reassuring, and the actual situation I’m in right now is a far cry from what I had imagined previously. I had thought things would end up perfect and harmonious, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

“Director Hart…” All of a sudden, Lyla’s eyes brightened as she continued, “Director Hart, I believe you’re only after Myra’s 40% stake in the Hilliville Project, yes?” Lyla questioned him hastily.

It took me so much effort to steal Sean away from Myra. Besides, I succeeded in showing that she’s a complete and utter failure. How on earth did I allow her to turn the tides and recover from that?

Just then, Tony extinguished the cigarette in his hand and flung it into the trash can nearby. As he raised his head, the cold indifference in his eyes was clearly noticeable. Ignoring Lyla’s question, he said instead, “I heard you went to confront Myra today.”

Despite his calm voice, Lyla couldn’t help shuddering at his comment. Gritting her teeth, she argued, “Myra and Sean are divorced but she’s continuously bothering him. Why can’t I confront her about this?”

“What do you mean by continuously bothering Sean?”

Lyla wasn’t quite sure whether she had missed something. She sensed that despite Tony’s cold voice earlier, it wasn’t as chilling to the bone as to what she was experiencing right now. However, she refused to give in and lose momentum, so she continued, “Someone saw the two of them in a compromising position. Don’t tell me you didn’t know that? How can you be attracted to such a flirtatious woman?”

Tony laughed lightly in response but his eyes were devoid of any amusement.

He sat upright on his swivel chair as he placed his right hand on the desk. Tapping the desk with both his index and middle finger, he asked, “Are you going to tell Myra about the photos?”

Lyla was momentarily stunned but she maintained a tight grip on her hands as she muttered, “I just want an answer from you, Director Hart.”

“Honestly, Miss Fisher, I think you already have your answer.” Tony’s eyes suddenly turned icy cold as he lifted his head to look at Lyla squarely in the eye. Noting the change in her expression, Tony causally commented, “Miss Fisher, have you considered the consequences of revealing the truth about the photos to Myra?”

Lyla’s body stiffened in response.

If I tell Myra the truth, she may seek an explanation from Sean. What’s going to happen then? What if Sean questions me about this? How am I supposed to explain that I intentionally falsified things to place the blame on Myra? I’m obviously going to expose myself by doing this. However, what does Tony mean by me having the answer?

All of a sudden, Lyla recalled another incident.
