“I’ve also heard about it. I wonder what kind of hatred drove Miss Walton to do such a thing. However, from what I’ve seen, she was probably troubled by love. It’s possible that they were a couple once, but now that Mr. Hart has fallen in love with another woman, she felt so wronged that she rammed him with a car.”
“I wonder what method Myra used to charm Mr. Hart to a point where he won’t even consider any other women. By the looks of it, Gemma is quite a pitiful girl. Because of this, she is now forced to leave Bradfort City. I even heard the reason why she will be sent away is because she required medical treatment abroad. She probably got hurt really bad this time.”
“However, we can’t say that she isn’t an idiot. I can’t believe she didn’t even think about the consequences when ramming the car at Mr. Hart. Luckily, she was only asked to leave Bradfort City this time. If the same thing happens again, the Walton Family will probably be doomed.”
“You’re right, but who wouldn’t want a man like Mr. Hart all to herself? I heard that the Young Lady of the Barker Group spends almost all her time at the golf club because she knows that Mr. Hart likes to play golf, so she waits for him there every day.”
“Of course she knows. There’s also Belle from the Bridgers Family. Ever since her blind date with Mr. Hart, she just can’t give up on him. That’s why she always tries to find opportunities to approach him, but what use is that?! Besides, I don’t think there will be a woman who can successfully surpass Myra. I think it’s better if I just love myself so that I don’t need to think too much.”
…
Every word of their conversation had reached the ears of the other two people in the room… And the other two outside the room.
Seeing the playfulness in Estelle’s eyes, Myra didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Looks like she just wants to listen to some gossip, so why did she act like there was something interesting for me to see?
When Estelle noticed that Myra was unmoved by what she had just heard, she opened her mouth and quietly repeated the conversation that they heard earlier.
“I heard that the Young Lady of the Barker Group spends almost all her time at the golf club because she knows that Mr. Hart likes to play golf, so she waits for him there every day. There’s also Belle from the Bridgers Family. Ever since her blind date with Mr. Hart, she just can’t give up on him. That’s why she always tries to find opportunities to approach him.”
However, Myra remained indifferent as she followed Estelle and whispered, “So what?”
“Can’t you see that there are a bunch of women lingering around your man? Myra, let me tell you this—a man can suppress his urges for a year or two, but how many of them can resist the seduction of beautiful women on the outside for the rest of their lives?”
Myra looked resolute. “Tony isn’t that kind of a person.”
Estelle blinked a few times, but in the end, she threw in the towel. “What am I doing? I was the one who matched the two of you at the start, so why am I telling you this now? Besides, I know that you trust Tony, but I don’t trust Shawn. However, I get what you all mean. I know that Shawn isn’t a bad man, so I decided to be together with him for the moment. We’ll deal with it if the thing I fear the most actually happens in the future.”
Although Estelle looked nonchalant, Myra was able to see the real problem. Overall, after many excuses, the true reason was that Estelle couldn’t trust any men. Therefore, she couldn’t help but think about Estelle’s parents. Even my own father did the same thing…
After taking a deep breath, she wanted to say something, but then, she secretly sighed. If I continue on this matter, it’ll only make her more resistant, so it’s better for me not to say anything at all. Besides, I believe that Shawn will never let that happen to her.
When they exited the parlor, Estelle grabbed Myra’s sleeves and said, “I have to tell you this. Even though Gemma is stupid, she is still ruthless. After hearing what you told me earlier about her condition, I don’t think she’ll want to leave Bradfort City.” How can a woman like her listen to anyone?! I’m afraid that it’ll only drive her insane, causing her to do something crazy. “Overall, you need to be extra careful now, especially with the child inside you. Don’t give her any chance to hurt you.”
Myra nodded. “I was thinking the same thing too.”
