Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 245

Why did Sean come here? Why is he here… coincidentally at this moment?

Meanwhile, Lyla clenched her fists tightly.

Sean…” She forced a smile as she murmured, “Why are you here? Do you have a business discussion with the Hart Group?”

Sean merely looked straight ahead at the road in front of him, as though he had not heard Lyla’s question. He drove at such a speed that Lyla saw the traffic police signaled him to slow down, but he ignored them.

Both her hands, which were placed on her knees, were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

“Sean—”

The car suddenly came to an abrupt stop with a loud screech. Sean had stepped on the brakes furiously, stopping his car on the roadside as he interrupted Lyla, “Why were you at the Hart Group?”

Earlier at the Ritz Carlton, Sean saw Lyla going to Tony from afar.

Just as he was going to walk over to them, he heard Lyla asking Tony to help her.

The countless incidents that had happened before this were quite confusing and messy, so Sean had forgotten about one fact—the properties in Hilliville that belonged to the Chase Group were sold off with Lyla’s help. At this moment, he was quite certain that the person who bought all the properties was Tony.

Lyla said that she has some connections with the Hart Family. Just how deep does this connection run?

Tony wasn’t someone to be messed around with and he would not buy the properties from the Chase Group without any reason. After all, it was a tough job to expand Hilliville. Even if he really wanted to do that, he would be better off accepting another project. Hence, he must have his own motives for doing so. Is his end goal… Myra?

After thinking about it, Sean’s face darkened. When he saw the few of them leaving, he could not help but drive behind them and follow Lyla.

After waiting at the Hart Group for a long time, he finally saw Lyla walking out. The moment he saw her slowly walking out, he suddenly felt as though he did not know the woman in front of him.

Just how many secrets is she keeping from me?

“Lyla, the client whom you mentioned last time, the one who bought Hilliville… He is Tony Hart, isn’t he?”

Sean suddenly turned around and glared at Lyla fiercely. Even though his breathing quickened, his gaze was stern.

After receiving such a fierce glare from Sean, Lyla’s heart palpitated fiercely once again, even though she had calmed herself down after much effort just now. Her hands trembled slightly as she bit her lip. “Why are you asking about this, Sean? Didn’t I tell you that I didn’t know the client myself? Someone recommended him to me—”

“Who recommended him?” Sean’s eyes were almond-shaped. When his eyes narrowed and he looked at someone, one would feel like they were his prey who could no longer escape.

Lyla’s heart sank. Even though she tried to keep calm on the surface, she knew that Sean probably knew something about what she had done today, so she clenched her fists. “The Hart Group, of course. Didn’t I tell you that I have connections in the Hart Group? However, since they have always been keeping a low profile, I didn’t see the need to mention them. All we needed was just to sell Hilliville off at that time, wasn’t it?”

Wasn’t it? Indeed

At that time, the Chase Group was in a financial crisis from various aspects. It was a great help to them that they could sell that piece of land.
