Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 342

“Are you going on a trip? Will it be a long one?” Myra felt quite uneasy.

Tony squeezed her hand and laughed. “I’ll definitely bring you and our child along if I have to go on a trip.”

“Then what’s going on?” Myra stared at the document placed by her hand with a confused look on her face.

At that moment, Tony seemed to sense her uneasy feeling; he curled his lips into a smile and suddenly stared at her squarely in the eyes while asking, “Myra, what if I’ve decided to go after the Stark Group? Will you feel upset about this?”

“What?” Myra wondered if she misheard Tony’s words and her eyes widened in surprise.

As soon as he saw her expression, he couldn’t control himself; he let out a deep, rumbling laughter and patted her on the head. “No matter what happens, you must trust me, alright?”

…

On the other end, Gemma had intended to make her way to the Hart Group. She hailed a waiting cab then covered her head with her clothes and entered the car. Upon arriving at the destination, she got out of the car but was stopped by the driver as she had not paid her fare. Thing was, she had escaped from the hospital in a hurry so she didn’t have a single cent on her. Although she tried to make a run for it, she didn’t succeed because the driver had grabbed hold of her and refused to let go.

Fortunately, Gideon had expected her to turn up at the Hart Group as soon as he received the phone call from the bodyguard. As such, he was already waiting there. He paid the fare and then forcefully dragged her into his car.

“I don’t want to go! Gideon, I want to talk to Tony! I need to clarify things with him! I’ve ended up like this because of him, so he can’t just cast me aside!” Gemma struggled to escape. All of a sudden, the cloth that was covering her face dropped to the ground and her scary-looking face was exposed. She shrieked in fright as soon as she saw herself in the reflection of Gideon’s eyes. She then quickly picked up the cloth and wrapped her head up immediately.

“You’re all liars! You said that my face could be fixed but it’s totally irreparable! I’ll be stuck with this ugly, disgusting face and my whole life will be ruined because of this! It’s completely ruined!” Gemma cried hysterically as she ranted at Gideon.

Currently, Gideon’s brows were knitted together tightly as he didn’t know how Gemma suddenly realized the truth about the wounds on her face. However, judging by how things were right now, he knew that it would be detrimental for her to create a fuss in front of Tony. Disregarding the fact that she might not even get the chance to see him, it was quite likely that she wouldn’t even get past the receptionist of the Hart Group so clearly, there was no point for her to make a fool of herself.

“Gemma Walton, how old do you think you are? Is crying and making a fuss the only thing you can do when you’re in trouble?” Gideon was quite tempted to slap some sense into his sister; however, he didn’t bear to do so after recalling her disfigurement. And so, he commented disappointedly, “Tony will not bother to see you! Don’t you get it? He doesn’t have any feelings toward you so he doesn’t care whether you’re hurt, and neither does he care about how badly you’re wounded! Frankly, he probably wouldn’t even bat an eyelash if he received news that you died today! When on earth will you stop losing control regarding anything that concerns him? Do you realize how difficult things are for the company right now? If you keep this up, do you realize that this is just going to push the Hart Group into taking action against our family?”

“You’ve never contributed to the family at all—first, we arranged for you to work at the company but you complained about the workload. Our only request thereafter was for you to build up a good relationship with Tony, but you kept angering him all the time. Besides shopping, going to the hair salon and pampering yourself with spa treatments, what else are you good at?”

Gemma was shocked to hear Gideon’s incessant rant and she couldn’t control the tears from falling as she sobbed, “But what about my face… I can’t just pretend that nothing’s happened!” As soon as she recalled Tony and Myra’s love for each other, she couldn’t control the twisted flash of jealousy in her eyes.

“Put up with it! You must put up with it, alright?” Gideon’s eyes were as cold as icicles. “It will be just for a short while. Grandpa, Dad, and I have something important going on right now and it’s crucial to us, so you’d better not ruin things for us at this point! If everything goes according to plan, the dominant force of Bradfort City will soon be replaced. By then, we will obviously seek justice for you. I promise your sufferings will definitely not be in vain!”

Gemma took some time to calm down and her sobs slowly turned to sniffles. However, she couldn’t control the resentment she felt upon recalling her current looks and her current sorry state.
