Eve was all too familiar with Myra. Even though her face was blurred, her silhouette and status were depicted clearly. How could Eve not know who the woman in the news report was?
Because the Chase Family was ripped off by Myra when she and Sean got divorced, Eve’s impression of her turned negative. Nonetheless, it did not stop her from having positive feelings toward her again after finding out about Myra’s present value. In the times when she loathed Lyla, she felt like she could still accept Myra if she and Sean started seeing each other again.
Since Eve had been occupied with Elsie’s pregnancy, she did not hear about Myra and Tony’s relationship. As far as she knew, there were rumors surrounding Myra and Tony, or more accurately, of Myra and many other men.
In her opinion, as long as Sean persuaded Myra, she would be willing to return to the Chase Family because of how much she loved Sean. Therefore, the scandal that broke out in the entertainment news was like a slap in the face to her. Myra cheated on Sean with another man. On top of that, the sight of her disheveled appearance only made Eve’s eyes fill with indignation.
“Eve, is that Myra? People in the comments are saying it’s her. Tsk, tsk. I didn’t know she was this kind of woman! It’s a good thing your son divorced her! Getting caught up with a woman like her would be a disgrace to the entire family!”
Eve grew paler. She no longer wanted to continue with the spa. After giving an excuse that something urgent had come up, she rushed out of the clubhouse and went straight to Chase Group.
These days, she undoubtedly felt that Sean’s animosity toward Lyla grew even more. Late in the night one time, Eve noticed the lights in Sean’s study still on and decided to make a glass of milk for him. When she arrived at his door, however, she saw him staring blankly at a ring. She had known Myra for two years, so she couldn’t have failed to recognize that ring. It was a ring Myra used to wear as a wedding ring. Even though Eve did not know how it ended up in Sean’s possession, seeing the absent-minded look he had, she had a feeling that he did have some feelings left for Myra, and the realization delighted her.
She did not like Myra, but if she could use her for her own advantage this time, the Chase Family would be in a much better situation than they were in now.
Moreover, she was starting to dislike Lyla almost to the point of hatred now. If it weren’t for the Chase Family’s child she was carrying, Eve would have wanted Sean to divorce her quickly and go back to Myra.
But, after seeing that video in the news, Eve only wanted to get rid of the lingering feelings Sean still had for Myra.
She did not see Sean upon arriving at Chase Group. When Richard informed her that he had gone to Stark Group, the look on her face suddenly turned pale. Taking out her phone, she dialed Sean’s number right away.
…
After Myra ended the call, she turned her phone off with a bitter smile on her face. Thinking of Sebastian’s stern and cold tone over the phone earlier, she tightened her hands around her purse.
She went to the underground parking lot, got in her car, and drove straight to the Hart Residence.
After getting out of the car, she was surprised to see that it wasn’t Sebastian who was waiting for her outside, but Lisa.
A look of surprise flashed across Lisa’s eyes when she saw Myra getting out of the car alone, then she gave her a slight nod. “Sebastian is in his study.”
Myra was nervous and scared during the drive. Upon hearing Lisa’s words, she only felt her palms start to sweat. “I’ll go in right away.”
Outside the car, she took a deep breath and headed inside the villa.
When she had just taken a couple of steps, she heard a calm voice from behind her. “Sebastian is just venting; don’t take it to heart.”
Myra stiffened. Suddenly, she felt a tingling feeling in her nose, and her eyes also turned red.
It had been a long time since she last felt that way. Although Lisa was always reserved around her, she always gave Myra warmth when she needed it the most.
