Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 299

Upon listening to what happened inside the room, his expression soured. After that, he made a sarcastic remark to those around him, “Maybe the young woman deliberately bribed the doctor so that she can marry into the Hart Family. Well, from my point of view, it’s best to get an examination in the hospital. Otherwise, they might be fooled by a young woman working with a doctor and she would end up with the Hart Family!” If Myra is pregnant, it will be even more difficult for Gemma to be married to Tony. In that case, the series of plans that the Walton Family have will not proceed smoothly!

Edward may not have recognized Philip, but everybody from Bradfort City knew of him. Therefore, upon hearing Edward’s sarcastic comments, they retorted in disdain, “If she is able to bribe Young Master Philip, it means that she definitely has the ability to marry into the Hart Family.”

Upon hearing that someone went against him, Edward felt unhappy and was about to refute the person when he saw another middle-aged man squinting at him. Edward was shocked because he recognized the man too. He is Director Renaud, the person in charge of the Renaud Family, which is in second place to the Hart Family in Bradfort City. Director… Renaud… His last name is Renaud…

His expression fell after connecting what the person had said earlier. So, it seems that the doctor is Director Renaud’s son! In the end, he snorted contemptuously. He could not bear to stay a second longer there, so he immediately went downstairs.

Upon arriving downstairs, Edward caught sight of a fuming Shelly in the Ritz Carlton’s back garden. He approached her and asked her with pursed lips, “How did the discussion go?”

She had just been embarrassed by a group of younger people, so she looked extremely upset. “Dad, forget about leaving Tony—that b*tch even tried to blame me for her fall. She is not an easy woman to deal with.” She frowned deeply the more she talked about Myra.

Then, Shelly’s expression changed drastically. “What?! Is she pregnant?!” She raised her voice and many people turned to look at her.

“Keep your voice down!” Edward scolded when he saw people turning to look at them.

Shelly bit her lip and she started to pace with anxiousness. “How could she possibly be pregnant?! She just got together with Tony not too long ago! Dad, if she is pregnant, it will be a huge deterrent to Gemma!” She pursed her lips together. Then, she added worriedly, “Dad, you have to help Gemma!”

“Do I need you to remind me?!” Edward was extremely agitated upon recalling what he had heard earlier. My granddaughter has accomplished nothing apart from causing trouble! It has been so many years, but she has failed to pursue Tony. Instead, she allows a woman, who has just shown up, to snatch him. “Instruct Gemma to snatch Tony as soon as possible. Do it, no matter what it takes. I believe that woman might very well be pregnant. Since she is pregnant, Gemma would stand a chance too. As long as Gemma gets pregnant with Tony’s child, I will have my way to ensure the Hart Family welcomes Gemma into their wealthy family!”

Shelly nodded in response. “Sure, I will inform Gemma. Dad, Gideon said that the sum of money requires urgent laundering. If it drags any longer, he might not be able to keep it buried.” She was just about to leave, but she suddenly recalled what Gideon had told her. Therefore, she hastily updated Edward.

Edward’s expression turned gloomy upon hearing that. Then, he answered in a stern voice, “Got it.” He paused for a while before he added. “How has the Central Square project been recently?”

“Stark Group has waived their right to apply and are fully helping the Walton Group to procure the project. The main large families from Bradfort City are not too interested in that project. After all, it is not a money-making project. Gideon has visited a few important officials and I believe there are not many issues there.”

“In that case, get ready and head up…” Edward lowered his voice into a barely-audible whisper. However, Shelly seemed to have understood him and she nodded before walking away.

Edward gazed at Shelly’s back when she walked away, but his eyebrows were knitted tightly together. He just couldn’t relax.

…

It was a different atmosphere altogether in the room as members of the Hart Family were congratulating Myra. After all, the unborn child would be Sebastian’s long-awaited paternal great-grandchild. It would be his first and naturally, he was delighted.

She politely thanked everybody.
