Elsie was probably overwhelmed by what had just happened; it was either that or she was now encountering some trouble, causing her not to hear clearly what transpired at the other end of the phone, so she continued to talk to Myra. “When she was working for the Chase Group, she did a lot of things to discredit the company and even stole classified company secrets. In the end, she was kicked out of the company. Mr. Hart… You…” After Elsie calmed down slightly, she realized that there were rumors saying that Myra actually stole the Chase Group’s Hilliville project for the Hart Group. Instantly, she was rendered speechless, but her heart was still full of hatred and dissatisfaction. “Mr. Hart, I will never lie to you. Myra is a very calculative woman. The child inside her is probably not yours! Don’t—”
“Miss Foster, why don’t you tell me who the father of the child inside me is if it isn’t Tony’s?”
While listening to Elsie’s words, Myra didn’t know how to describe the emotions inside her heart at that moment. I don’t know where she got hold of Tony’s phone number, but isn’t this a bit too shameless?
“Y-You’re Myra!” On the other end, Elsie was clearly shocked as she bit her lips and sharpened her tone. “Is it you who did it?! You are the one who framed me! You told him that I’m behind all this, right? You instigated Mr. Hart to go against me, right?!”
Today, a group of people came to her house and forced her to pack her things before leaving Bradfort City. She wasn’t the naive little girl who had left school back then, so she could see that they weren’t friendly people. However, they mentioned that it was Tony who wanted her to immediately leave the city.
The first thing that came up in Elsie’s mind was that he found out what she did toward Myra. Instantly, she was afraid and flurried inside, but when she realized that she didn’t actually harm Myra directly since she only gave the document to those people without knowing what they were going to do with it, Elsie immediately called him. It wasn’t easy for her to obtain his phone number, but before she had the chance to call him, Tony had rejected her in the underground parking lot at that time, so the number was practically useless.
Surprisingly, when she called him again, it was Myra who answered the phone.
“Give the phone to Mr. Hart right now. I have something to say to him!” A panicked Elsie tightly grabbed her phone as her eyes looked toward the people sitting in her living room.
As Myra furrowed her brows, Tony happened to walk out of the washroom. Seeing her furrowing her brows with his phone in her hand, he raised his brows while his eyes were filled with playfulness. “Myra, why are you looking at my phone like that? Did you find another woman inside?”
She knew that he was purposely teasing her, so she cheerfully threw the phone back to him. “Elsie called you. She is now laying out all my wrongdoings so that you can quickly abandon me and find some other woman.”
While listening to her, Tony’s previously joyful eyes slightly darkened. After receiving his phone, he hung up the call straight away without even looking at it before grabbing Myra’s waist. Although he could slightly move his hands, it was still difficult for him to grab her waist since it tore his wound a little.
Myra initially wanted to avoid him, but when she heard his slight hiss, she paused in her movement and he took the chance to grab her.
While kissing the right side of her forehead, Tony lowered his head to look into her eyes. “Are you mad? If you know who is calling me, you can just hang up the phone immediately. Why would you want to listen to her nonsense and make yourself angry?”
“I’m not angry.” Myra rolled her eyes at him as she was only rendered speechless. No matter whether it was Elsie, Gemma, or even Kris, they would always emphasize on Myra’s ‘bad deeds’. However, whether or not they were bad deeds, the three of them knew it clearly inside their hearts. Even so, all of them would still take the matter to Tony, which she found quite annoying.
Seeing that she was truly unhappy, Tony dragged her to the washroom.
“What is it?” she asked vigilantly.
However, Tony pretended to be innocent while looking at her. “It has been a few days. I think it’s time for me to take a bath, right?” For the past two days, he wasn’t allowed to move around, but now, he could finally get off the bed. To him, it was torture not being able to even touch water for days.
Upon seeing his frustration, Myra thought about the doctor’s words telling him not to come into contact with water for the time being, but Tony seemed to understand what she was thinking at the moment, so he quickly interrupted,. “I promise that I won’t touch the water. You’ll be the one doing that. Can you at least wipe me?”
