“I heard that their family is going back to Bradfort City for their future development. Even though this family cannot be compared to the Hart Family, only few other families in Bradfort City are at their level. Your father is very disappointed in us now. On the Stark Family’s side, we can’t count on him right now. Right now, we can only wait for you to charm the other family, so that your father regains his confidence in you. This is the only opportunity to completely change our fate. Do you understand, Kris?”
Myra stopped walking and signaled at the frontdesk to stay quiet. The few employees quickly nodded and continued with their work after sitting down.
The two people who hid behind the trees were none other than Rachel and Kris. However, Kris still felt resentful after hearing Rachel’s words. “Mom, how do you know that he doesn’t like me at all? Fine, if that’s really the case, it’s only for the moment. What about some time later? He will eventually get tired of Myra, that b*tch! When that happens, he will fall for me!”
As she reached the end of her sentence, Kris became slightly agitated.
“Be quieter! Are you planning to let everyone hear you?” Rachel quickly reminded her in a low voice. “You’re still not giving up on him! Who do you think sent the doctor when I suffered the miscarriage last time? It’s Tony Hart! If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have landed in that situation at all. Kris, he is so ruthless to you, so why are you still thinking of him? Fine, even if you still like him, you need to have enough reason for that. Why should the Hart Family accept you just like that? Are you like Myra, who has the stocks of the Stark Group, 50% of Ritz Carlton shares, and the properties from Hilliville?”
“But Mom, Myra didn’t get those with her own capabilities!” Kris retaliated.
“Yes, you are right. Nevertheless, she has them, not you! This is the major difference between the both of you!” As Rachel spoke, she gradually became less patient. “Let me warn you, Kris, if you don’t want us to be chased away by Myra in the end, you have to listen to me carefully. Make the man fall for you and when you get everything using his powers, you can have anything you want! After that, it’s time for Tony to dump Myra and you can be with him like you always wanted!”
With that, there was a moment of silence between them.
Myra scooted closer to them with narrowed eyes.
Soon, Kris’ voice rang. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. The men from the Walton Family aren’t too bad either. Since he loves me so much, I shall play along with him!”
“Now, this is my clever daughter…”
Upon hearing the end of their conversation, Myra quickly walked past them nonchalantly, leaving the hall to await guests. She was headed toward the elevator in front of her.
Soon, Rachel and Kris walked out of the guest area. Upon seeing Myra, who was walking in front of them, Rachel’s expression darkened as she pulled Kris back. “Be careful of Myra and avoid running into her. Kris, it’s because of your inability to tolerate that you keep losing to her.”
Kris’s face darkened. Thinking back about all the misfortunes she had suffered because of Myra to the point where she was chased out of the Stark Family by Cameron, a surge of hatred bubbled within her. It’s all because of Myra!
“Don’t worry, Mom. I will take your advice this time. I won’t let Myra have any chance to attack us again!” With that, she gritted her teeth.
Myra walked to the elevator and pressed the button to head to higher levels. The elevator soon stopped on the first floor. After it opened, she walked into it with a frown on her face.
From Rachel and Kris’ conversation earlier, it’s clear that Kris has changed her target—she’s planning to be with another man. Walton Family… Are they referring to the Walton Family I’m thinking of?
After she entered the elevator, just as its doors were about to close, someone had pressed the button outside to enter. Looking at Myra in the elevator, Kris snorted coldly as she walked directly into the elevator and stood right in front of her.
As it was no longer early, only the both of them were in the elevator.
