Tony did not immediately drive to the Stark Group, but he went to the Chase Residence instead.
On the winding mountain road, he ran into Sebastian, who had just finished fishing. It was rare for him to desire to head home by foot, but halfway through the journey, he was so exhausted that he could not continue with his journey anymore. He did not want to be a disgrace by asking his driver to pick him up, so he was brooding on the problem.
At that moment, Tony’s car sped past him. Recognizing his youngest grandson, Sebastian chased after the car as he yelled, “Tony! Stop the car! Tony! Tony!”
However, Tony did not realize that Sebastian was there. Inhaling the exhaust fumes had caused Sebastian’s face to turn slightly green.
Tony had received a phone call, but he hung up without even looking at the caller. Then, he opened the trunk of the car that contained a document wrapped in a kraft paper bag. It had been laying there for quite some time.
After he exited the car, he held the document as he walked to the Chase Residence indifferently.
Moments after he pressed on the doorbell, Eve and her maid, who both did not have much to do, walked out of the door and saw a man standing outside their mansion.
As soon as Eve saw Tony, her face immediately adopted the color of purple in nervousness.
She knew the man whom Myra had been cheating on. Even though she had hated him, she could do nothing against it and it didn’t help that she was quite fearful of him.
“I wonder what brings you here today, Director Hart.” After thinking about it, Eve asked her maid to open the door, but Tony did not enter.
Upon seeing the vigilant expression on Eve’s face, Tony merely looked cold. Suddenly, he threw the leather bag toward her. “Take a look at this first.”
When Eve caught it, a slight sarcasm danced in his eyes. He randomly took out a cigarette and lit it up before taking a deep breath from it. As the white fumes slowly covered his face, she could not tell what his expression was. However, a slight fear spread within her.
“What is this?” She frowned in slight disapproval, but she still opened the envelope and took out the document from within.
As soon as Eve saw the content, her body immediately stiffened and she looked incredulous. In an instant, she immediately raised her head to look at the mysteriously profound man in front of her as her heart raced. “What do you mean by this, Director Hart?”
“What can you tell from the document?” Tony replied with a question as he narrowed his eyes with an impassive expression on his face.
Eve clutched the document tightly. Suddenly, her chest rose up and down heavily. She tore the document apart and threw it on the ground. “Are you helping Myra to take revenge on the Chase Family, Director Hart? Don’t you think that you are underestimating us?”
“Indeed, you are nothing to me.” Tony flicked the ash away from his cigarette. There was a profound look in his dark eyes as his thin lips curled coldly. “It’s not just the Marina Bay Bridge Project. The quick growth of the Chase Group was due to many illegal actions behind the scenes. I still have plenty of evidence in my thumb drive. What do you think will happen to your son and the Chase Group if these are leaked?”
“What do you want?” She blanched as she staggered backward. It was true that the Chase Group had committed its fair share of illegal activities, but both she and Sean had always been vigilant. How did we leave so much evidence behind?
“Stop the divorce. At least, I don’t want to see your son become a single man and run to Myra fearlessly.” A cruel expression flashed across Tony’s eyes.
“He will not go to Myra! It’s Myra who has always clung onto him!” Without thinking about it, Eve retaliated against him.
