Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 241

In that instant, the air around them seemed to have dropped by a few degrees, making Lyla tremble slightly. Even though Tony’s face remained expressionless, the cold stare he gave her seemed to shoot icicles at her, slowly freezing her. In that instant, she had an urge to turn and leave immediately, but she suppressed her desire.

After a long moment—so long that even Myra felt uneasy and tugged on his sleeves—he finally wrapped his hands around her and shot an indifferent look at Lyla. “Remember what I told you the other day.”

After saying that simple sentence, he left the hall of Ritz Carlton after wrapping his arms around Myra’s waist.

This time around, Lyla stood frozen to the ground, not daring to stop them anymore.

What did Tony say the other day?

When she first learned that Tony had gotten together with Myra, she went to ask him about the entire situation. At that time, he told her to stay away from Myra. Apart from that, he also mentioned that there were many unexpected situations that could happen in the future.

What did he mean by that?

A chill suddenly spread from her head to her toes. Before she could even return to her senses, Mr. Johnson, the manager of Ritz Carlton, had already walked to her and told her sarcastically, “Miss Fisher, you are not welcome at Ritz Carlton anymore.”

With that, he left immediately, as though the thought of staying next to her disgusted him.

Usually, Lyla would arrogantly get to the bottom of this. However, she did not have any energy today and she had a feeling that it was just the beginning. Her life was going to worsen in the future.

With his arms wrapped around Myra, Tony walked to the parking lot. As Tilly had driven Myra’s car off, he had to send her back to the Stark Group first.

On the way, he held Myra’s left hand with his right one, which was free. It was quite rare for them not to utter a single word.

Thinking that the atmosphere between them was quite awkward, Myra cleared her throat. Unable to stop herself, she asked, “What did you tell Lyla the other day? Her face turned pale immediately once you mentioned it.”

It was actually an understatement to merely describe Lyla as turning pale. In reality, she was immediately frozen on the spot and unable to speak at all, as if she had just suffered a great shock.

On another note, Myra was quite surprised by Lyla’s appearance today.

After all, she knew that Lyla was a woman who cared about her appearances. No matter where Lyla was, she would always look well-dressed and glamorous. It was already rare for her to appear in front of Myra in such a disheveled look.

Tony froze for a moment since he was focused on driving, but he quickly shot a glance at Myra. At this point, the ruthlessness that he had when he addressed Lyla entirely disappeared. His facial features looked much gentler as he chuckled lightly, “Myra, don’t tell me that you care for that woman.”

“How is it possible?” She snorted. Her relationship with Lyla was one of the worst since the latter had framed her many times—whether it was in front of her or backstabbing her.

After hearing Myra’s reply, his narrow and long eyebrows arched slightly. “You still care about the fact that she married Sean, huh?”

Each time when he used the single-syllable word at the end of his sentence, Myra’s heartbeat would race. She quickly glanced at him and saw that even though his eyes were slightly narrowed, he did not look fierce. After making sure that he was not jealous, she shook her head. “I don’t care who she marries, but she has framed me several times in the past. It would be a lie to say that I don’t hate her.”

“So, are you happy that I treated her this way today?” Tony elaborated on the topic.

After thinking about it, Myra realized that it was indeed the case. No matter what he had told Lyla in the past, it should be something that Lyla was fearful of. Otherwise, she would not look at him in such trepidation.

After forgetting about the incident involving Lyla, Myra recalled the contract-signing session between the Stark Group and the Parker Group. She tugged on his hands as she thanked him. “Thanks for helping me out again today. If it weren’t for you, the group of people from the Parker Group would not let Stark Group off easily.”

She believed that the sly foxes from the Parker Group would not leave without scooping enough benefits from the Stark Group.

“I didn’t do anything at all.” Tony had a slight smile on his face.

Myra’s smile widened. “Yes, yes, you didn’t do anything—the fact that you were there already made Mr. Smith forget about his initial plans. Instead, he kept finding topics to chat with you.”
