Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 243

If Gemma came to Bradfort City, does this mean that man is also here?

Lyla’s hand gave a strong jerk and the coffee cup in her hand almost crashed onto the table. The hot coffee splashed on the back of her hand, but she did not dare to make a sound.

“What’s wrong? Are you finally remembering my brother now?” When Lyla was together with her brother, Gemma had openly expressed her dissatisfaction toward the former. Obviously, she is just a b*tch who wants to use him to elevate her status. Sure enough, after leaving Gideon, she came to Bradfort City to seduce Tony. No wonder I didn’t hear from her when I was in the States for so long. It turns out that she has returned to Bradfort City.

Gemma remembered the woman who dared to sit in Tony’s car on the first night. After thinking that many women had their eyes on Tony, the fury within her had no other outlet, so she merely glared at Lyla fiercely. “Don’t worry; my brother has not returned to Bradfort City yet, but he’s going to be back soon.” She chuckled coldly. “Lyla, you seeked for another man behind his back. What do you think he will do?”

Lyla had no idea about this. However, she recalled the phone call from Gideon a while ago. He’s also returning to Bradfort City soon. If he knows that I’m already married to Sean, what will he do?

The people from the Walton Family are nuts! According to normal social conventions, I’ve already broken up with Gideon but to him, even if he doesn’t want me anymore, I’m forbidden to be with another man!

Thinking back to the reason she came to seek Tony out today, Lyla clenched her fists tightly.

She had no way out anymore. At this moment, she could only ask for Tony’s help.

Even though Gemma had been provoking her, she stayed quiet all this while. After a while of this, Gemma had finally vented all her anger. Seeing that Lyla had no intention to reply to her, Gemma could not be bothered with Lyla any longer.

Soon, the phone of the front desk rang. The employee picked it up, and she kept nodding and saying ‘okay’ with a respectful and gentle expression on her face. After hanging up, she walked to the both of them.

Gemma’s eyes lit up immediately. “Tony… Director Hart has returned?”

The front desk employee nodded and spoke to both of them politely. “Director Hart is back, but…” Under Gemma’s expectant look, the employee turned to Lyla. “Miss Fisher, Mr. Clark said that he’s waiting for you upstairs.”

The front desk employee was no stranger to Lyla, so there was a hint of disdain in her eyes when she looked at her. Nevertheless, she continued to be respectful to her.

Lyla was in no mood to bother about that. After hearing what the front desk employee said, she immediately stood up and rushed to the elevator. However, when she got up, Gemma pulled her back with a huge force and grabbed her wrist tightly. With a dark expression, she asked, “Are you sure that Director Hart asked for her and not me?”

The front desk employee was shocked to see this, but she nodded and replied after a pause, “Yes.”

Smack!

Gemma suddenly slapped Lyla hard on the face.

Taken aback, Lyla turned around and looked at Gemma incredulously after being slapped. “What the hell are you doing?”

“I’m teaching you how to recognize your own status!” Gemma glared at Lyla fixedly, obviously thinking that the latter was the woman who seduced Tony.

Perhaps the woman in his car yesterday was her!

“Lyla, if you dare to go upstairs to meet him, you know the consequences.” A look of malice and warning was clear in Gemma’s eyes.

Lyla’s body trembled slightly; she knew that Gemma had misunderstood the relationship between herself and Tony. Even though she initially planned to tolerate Gemma’s actions, she could not tolerate it anymore after the latter slapped her.

When Lyla was with Gideon, Gemma often bullied her and gave her a hard time.
