Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 253

“When would men find the time to tend to these things? Nevertheless, they will start to care sooner or later.” Gemma stared straight into Myra’s eyes. “To be honest, I’m quite surprised. If I were you, after getting abandoned, I would have hidden at home and not made a spectacle of myself. But, not only did you start working like nothing happened, you were even shameless enough to seduce Tony. Miss Stark, you are by far the most thick-skinned woman I have ever met.”

“Likewise.” Myra was indifferent.

Because Gemma was not getting a reaction from Myra, she was slowly losing her temper.

She was always the jewel of the family and had never suffered through any hardships before. Today, however, she was losing to a woman she did not believe was better than her in any aspect. The most aggravating part of it all was that she was a divorced woman, but Tony was cherishing her like a prized possession.

“Myra, don’t embarrass yourself and don’t decline my offer. There will come a day when you will regret it!”

It was like an argument between children now with the one who was losing threatening to come after the other after school.

Myra smirked calmly back at her.

From every angle, it was clear that Gemma was a spoiled child, and Myra was not interested in wasting time on people like her.

When Myra was about to walk around her, she did not sense the slight change in Gemma’s expression. By the time she realized it, a slap was already whizzing toward her.

The color drained from Myra’s face. She was going to avoid it when a hand quickly reached out and grabbed Gemma’s hand right before it landed on her face. He clasped her hand in an instant and caused a cry of alarm to erupt throughout the whole villa.

Tony had come out of the bedroom at some point.

It was evident that he had just taken a shower as his hair was still wet. He was wearing a bathrobe, and the exposed parts of his body were covered in water droplets. His messy hair did not suppress his aura. In fact, it made him look even more alluring. At this moment, however, he looked very displeased; his black and deep eyes seemed even sharper after being splashed with water.

“How dare you cause a commotion in our house?” His voice was rather hoarse and carried a hint of anger. At the same time, he tightened his grip around her hand.

“Ah!” Gemma shrieked and looked at him again with slight fear in her eyes.

Even though Tony was not that friendly toward her when she came to the Hart Residence today, at least, he was not as cold as the night before which had secretly made her happy. Despite having had her mood ruined by Myra, she still knew on the inside that Tony would be with her in the end.

But, at this moment, her face had grown pale. He’s deliberately embarrassing me in front of Myra.

“What’s wrong?”

“What happened?”

Sebastian and Serena who had both returned to their rooms previously came out again and were looking at the three people.

Tony was still gripping Gemma’s wrist. The immense strength he exerted made her feel as though the bones in her wrist were about to be crushed.

She was going to ask Sebastian for help when Tony dragged her by the wrist abruptly down the stairs. “It’s nothing. I just have some things to discuss with Miss Walton.”
