However, upon seeing the ring on Myra’s hand, the crowd fell silent. There was a financial talk show two days ago, and the guest of the interview was none other than Tony Hart—the president of the Hart Group.
At that time, apart from the trivial economic problems, the host was very interested in the ring on his hand. When asked if the day of the wedding was approaching, Tony casually answered ‘yes’. Right then, the affection on his face and the tenderness in his eyes when he looked at the ring nearly drowned everyone on and off screen!
That particular talk show had shocked the entire Bradfort City, and they even showed a close-up shot of the ring. In fact, the employees of the Stark Group noticed that Myra had on the same-style ring, but it was only at this moment that they were certain that both of them were wearing couple rings!
When Gemma saw the ring on Myra’s hand, her expression instantly turned unpleasant. Needless to say, Gemma wasn’t unfamiliar with that ring. When she first returned to Bradfort City, she already noticed the strange ring on Tony’s finger, but obviously, the man who was impatient with her wouldn’t tell her anything about the ring. Now that Myra had revealed the answer, Gemma felt a fiery sense of shame burning inside her, and she wanted so badly to tear the woman in front of her to shreds!
“Is that so? But, as far as I know, you and Director Chase got divorced because you had long been suspected of wanting to hook up with Tony. You sold the secrets of the Chase Family’s Hilliville Project to the Hart Family to get closer to them. After the Chase Family obtained evidence, you knew that you were going to be exposed, and you even went all the way to the golf course to beg Tony. At that time, the paparazzi took a lot of photos. The Chase Family spread stories about you staying in Tony’s office an entire night before you even divorced Director Chase. Myra, what else can you say to argue?” Gemma stared unblinkingly at the woman in front of her. Since she dares to be with Tony, she has to pay the price!
Immediately, the crowd erupted into a chorus of ‘woahs’. Some things were just rumors, so they didn’t dare discuss them too openly. After all, they had all personally witnessed Tony taking care of the Stark Group’s general manager—Myra.
But, she got together with Tony right after divorcing Sean. Did Miss Stark really not betray Director Chase during their marriage?
Noticing everyone’s suspicious and condemning gazes, Myra sneered inwardly. Gemma was trying to ruin her reputation in front of everyone on purpose.
Myra looked indifferently at the woman in front of her, who was clearly prepared, and her gaze turned cold. “Miss Walton, do show evidence before you say such things. You’ve just returned, so you might not know the laws in this country. Your remarks just now are enough to constitute a crime of defamation.”
“Whether or not it’s defamation, we don’t know yet!” Gemma looked delightedly at Myra. This was all thanks to her brother, who had helped her investigate everything. This b*tch went so far as to hook up Tony while she was married! At that time, did Tony know that she was a married woman? Tony must have been deceived by her, which is why he’s still with her now!
“Don’t stand here anymore. Go do what you’re supposed to do! What’s so interesting here? There’s nothing more than a feral dog trying to bite people!” Tilly sensed that something was wrong, so she wanted to quickly disperse the onlooking crowd.
“Don’t do that. Since you’re not guilty, why would you be afraid of other people hearing stuff? Myra, are you bold enough to swear? Are you bold enough to say that you didn’t do anything to betray Director Chase during your marriage?! Are you bold enough to say that you didn’t approach Tony while you were married?!” Gemma’s expression was no longer the picture of feigned grievances and resignation. Now, she appeared arrogant—like a peacock that didn’t want to let go.
“Why wouldn’t I be bold enough to admit all that!?” Myra’s face darkened.
