Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 290

As they were standing right at the entrance of Ritz Carlton, it was only natural to have countless pairs of eyes watching them at that moment.

Just as Myra almost died of embarrassment, a pair of hands took her into his embrace and led her into the hall. Throughout all this, the man did not forget to glance at the crowd before them with a slight smile. “Thank you all for attending my banquet at the Ritz Carlton. I hope that all of you will enjoy yourselves tonight,” Tony announced in a calm voice, as if kissing a woman in front of the crowd was no big deal. He then chivalrously led Myra toward the center of the hall.

The next instant, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.

Recently, the fiancée of the Hart Family’s successor had caused quite a stir in Bradfort City and became the source of gossip and scandal, especially her entanglement with the successor of the Chase Group, Sean Chase, as well as her relationship with the man who was standing before them now. Their relationship—which could be regarded as a love triangle—was known to all, and it added some flavor to the banquet tonight; other than the regular conversations between the businessmen and celebrities, the guests, especially the female ones, had something interesting to gossip about.

The gossip was born from their jealousy, envy, or even frustration toward her, and some of them were purely enjoying the show from the sidelines. Upon seeing Myra, everyone had different thoughts.

Some time ago, when the media revealed that Tony and Myra were getting married, some were of the opinion that the news might be merely a rumor. However, when Tony kissed Myra in public, his actions made everyone realize that it was indeed the truth and the couple’s wedding would most probably be just around the corner.

“Director Hart, this is…” a bold guest casually asked while pretending to strike a conversation.

“Let me introduce her to you—this is Myra Stark, my fiancée.” Tony openly introduced her identity to the person who asked about her without any hesitation. Then, he looked at Myra. “Myra, this is Director Jenkins, the director of the Jenkins Group; the Hart Group has a lot of business dealings with his company.”

Myra smiled at him politely. “Hello, Director Jenkins.”

“Hello.” Director Jenkins, who had good social etiquette, concealed the shocked look in his eyes and grinned as he looked at Tony. “Director Hart, your fiancée is really gentle and beautiful, and I heard that Miss Stark is an outstanding designer as well. The both of you are a good match, Director Hart. It seems like I have to congratulate the two of you on your upcoming wedding.”

“Thank you. I won’t forget to invite you to my wedding when the time comes, Director Jenkins.” Although the smile by Tony’s lips was light, everyone was able to tell that he was in a pleasant mood today, which made them shoot complex looks at the woman beside him. It was completely out of everyone’s expectations that Tony would end up marrying that woman.

The families, who had had the intention to have their daughters marry into the Hart Family, all shook their heads in resignation at that moment.

Tony and Myra greeted the guests one after another while exchanging pleasantries with them. Soon after, they arrived at the center of the hall, where all the members of the Hart Family had gathered; even Elliot, Philip, and Lucas were waiting for them there.

Upon seeing the blushing Myra, Elliot winked at her. “Myra, did you notice how half of the women in the hall looked at you? Their gazes were filled with envy, jealousy and resentment!”

Sure enough, the hearts of the women, who attended the banquet while holding onto the last shred of hope, were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment upon seeing how affectionate Tony was toward Myra. It was totally beyond their expectations that a cold man like Tony would introduce Myra as his fiancée, his tone all the while filled with his affection toward her.

Myra glared at Tony before she turned to look at the two elders of the Hart Family. “Old Master Hart, Old Madam Hart,” she greeted politely.

Lisa nodded calmly while Sebastian let out a quiet snort. “You guys sure are early.”

Upon hearing that, Myra was speechless. I remember Tony said that it was Sebastian himself who asked us to come at this exact moment.

However, she was used to Sebastian always saying things that he did not mean, so she immediately smiled apologetically. “I apologise for that; we will come earlier next time.”

Sebastian once again appraised her from head to toe before he frowned and pouted. “We have been preparing nutritious meals for you every day lately, but why are you still so skinny? Tell me the truth—did you throw away all the food?”

Myra felt helpless upon hearing that. “No! I made sure to finish everything that had been sent over to me.”
