Sean’s voice was filled with anger. Myra was initially mine! She was mine! Then, she was snatched by the man on the other end of the line with dirty tricks! No, that man can’t possibly be sincere to her. He must be scheming something!
His eyes were red. For the past few days, he had been searching for evidence day and night, but all he found were basically his presumptions.
Suddenly, someone knocked on his office door.
He hung up the call and massaged his temple in exhaustion.
When the matter that he had been investigating slowly surfaced, Tony and Myra’s intimate relationship was also gradually revealed to him.
Sean was baffled by the news. Myra was still deeply in love with him a few months ago, and in the blink of an eye, she fell in love with another man. How was that possible?
He closed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Come in.”
The door to his office was pushed open and Lyla slowly walked in.
She seemed healthier than before; it was probably because she felt that the crisis was over now that she had gotten rid of the baby in Elsie’s belly.
“Sean, is there anything I can help with?” Lyla paced toward the man behind the office desk.
Although they had a disagreement some time ago, she still forced herself to wear a slight smile. After all, Sean was the man she had decided to spend the rest of her life with and her feelings for him were genuine as well. As she was pregnant, she wore a soft cotton dress and a pair of flat shoes, which made her look like she was emitting a soft maternal glow.
However, Sean was unable to notice it at that moment.
When he heard Lyla’s voice, his expression instantly fell. He grabbed the stack of documents in front of him and he suddenly tossed them at her when she approached him.
The documents landed on her before it scattered all over the floor.
She was stunned as it was totally out of her expectation that Sean would throw the documents at her as soon as she arrived. He raised his head and looked with cold eyes. “Lyla, let me ask you this—why did you suddenly decide to return to Bradfort City?”
Lyla did not expect him to suddenly ask her that. His rude action had made her pale, but she still forced herself to ask in return, “Sean, what’s wrong?”
“I’m asking you—why did you suddenly decide to return to Bradfort City some time ago?!” Sean repeated his question, but in a harsher tone.
Lyla furrowed her brows while she lowered her head to look at the documents scattered on the floor.
