“Let me tell you this—don’t even think about taking half of our assets when you are out with other men!” Eve had finally witnessed Lyla’s true character after she witnessed Lyla staying at another man’s place for a long time. She’s such a hypocrite! While she’s claiming to be in love with my son, she secretly sleeps with another man! How did we welcome such a shameless woman into our family? “I have already recorded your meeting with the man from yesterday. Let’s see what your excuses are this time!”
Lyla’s expression immediately changed. “Eve, did you follow me again?” At this point, she did not bother to be respectful to Eve anymore.
Eve merely let out a cold snort. “If I didn’t follow you, I wouldn’t have known all the dirty things you have done. You shameless woman! I shall see how you’ll walk into the abyss step by step!”
With that, Eve turned angrily to leave.
Even if she could do nothing against Lyla at this moment, she could have an opportunity to use the evidence in the future. No matter what, such evidence would be useful to her one day.
Intense hatred bubbled up within Lyla as she watched Eve leave. After walking to her bedroom, Lyla slammed the door shut.
She knew very well that she did not have much time left to stay in the Chase Family. Although Tony was helping her now, he had no plans to extend his help for long periods of time. Now that Eve knows about my true character, she probably knows the relationship between me and Gideon as well… A morose expression flooded her eyes as she clenched her fists tightly.

“All of you are simply useless!”
After a moment of pause, Gemma’s enraged voice could be heard in the exquisite sports car. She had finally bribed two employees in the Stark Group with a huge sum of money, yet none of them managed to hurt Myra after an entire day. Useless scums! Kris is another idiot! She caused another pregnant woman in the Stark Group another pregnant woman, but Myra is still unscathed! Now that she’s more vigilant about this, I bet we can’t touch her for a while now.
Gemma hung up in dury and drove to the Hart Group.
She was still blocked by the receptionist, who did not care whether Gemma was the Young Lady of the Walton Family or her claim that she was the Hart Group’s business partner. Instead, the receptionist merely replied, “I’m sorry, Miss Walton. Director Hart is not planning to meet anyone today.”
When Gemma was asking to meet Tony, other people had arrived at the Hart Group with the same request to meet either Tony or Leo as well. Yet, their requests were granted by the receptionists.
Although Gemma felt unhappy about this, she could do nothing against it. After thinking about it, she walked back to the underground parking lot and waited in her sports car.
She already had no idea how long she had been waiting for Tony. She only remembered that she touched up on her makeup four times in the process. After glancing at the time, she noticed that it was almost 9:00PM. Other cars had been leaving the Stark Group one after another, leaving the underground parking lot rather empty. Finally, the VIP elevator started to move. She watched as the display blinked with the number for each floor.
With a ‘ding’, the elevator finally arrived on her floor.
Gemma’s breathing quickened as she tried to suppress the excitement within her. She exited her car and walked toward Tony’s vehicle.
As the lighting in the underground parking lot was quite dim, Gemma had already taken off her little sweater to reveal a sexy skirt.
