As Myra looked at the document in her hand, a feeling of restlessness surged up within her. Then, she stuffed the document back in Sharon’s hands and said, “Can you run an errand for me, Sharon? Send this back—I know the address of that man’s company.”
Meanwhile, the florist named Sharon looked somewhat ill at ease. “I can do it for you, but the person predicted that you’d send this back, Miss Stark. He said that the document in it has come into effect, so you must go to him personally if you want to amend it…”
Myra opened the brown paper bag speechlessly. As Tony mentioned, it contained individual shares of the Stark Group; Sean had listed her as the beneficiary after buying them. Myra pressed her lips together, took out her cell phone, and dialed a number. When the call finally picked up, she asked, “Mr. Kennedy, what procedures do I need to go through in order to return the Stark Group’s shares given by someone else?” When she got the answer from the other end of the phone, she looked somewhat glum. “I got it. Thank you,” she said politely before hanging up. With that, Myra turned to look at Sharon helplessly. “I’m going out, so please watch over the shop for me.”
“It’s okay, Miss Stark. Don’t worry about it and go ahead with your stuff; I’ll watch over the shop.” Sharon waved to her.
Myra let out a sigh and picked up the document. Then, she turned around and left the flower shop.
Sean was a lunatic, and Myra had to go to him this time despite knowing that he deliberately wanted her to do so. She didn’t want to accept any gifts from him without rhyme or reason, for this would make her feel very upset.
…
Meanwhile, Eve stormed into the Chase Group’s building. When the receptionist noticed her arrival, she quickly stood up and greeted her by shouting, “Good afternoon, Madam Eve!”
However, Eve turned a deaf ear to it and walked directly toward the elevator.
At the sight of the scene, the receptionist immediately called Richard to tell him what had happened.
On the other hand, Sean was on the phone with someone. Now that the Stark Group was in danger of collapsing, many of its shareholders were interested in selling the shares they were holding. Sean had already bought quite a lot of the shares, but he was still contacting people ceaselessly.
The person on the other end of the line happily sold his shares to Sean at the price Sean quoted. After the two of them agreed on it, the person couldn’t help but ask, “Please excuse me for speaking bluntly, Director Chase. You know as well that the Stark Group is in a bad situation right now, and the slightest carelessness can cause the company to fall into a bottomless pit, so why would you want to get involved in this mess? Of course, I’m very grateful to you for buying up the shares I hold in the Stark Group. I’d be reduced to poverty and ruin if you don’t do so.”
Sean attempted a smile as he recalled a past memory. It seemed that he wanted to smile, but he only managed a faint smile in the end. “I just want to help a person.”
“Who do you want to help? Could the person be Miss Stark, our general manager?” asked the person.
Some emotion seemed to flash across Sean’s eyes as he muttered softly, “Mm-hm.”
The person sighed. “I heard about the matter between the two of you. I thought you divorced her because you didn’t want to be with her anymore, but it seems that there are still many things that I don’t know. Nonetheless…” The person on the other end of the line hesitated for a moment. Then, he couldn’t help but continue, “I’m giving you a few words of reminder for your own good, Director Chase. There are limits to helping someone, so don’t ignore everything else for her sake… After all, she may not appreciate the favor you’re doing for her.”
Everyone already knew that Myra was together with Tony, the Hart Group’s director and future heir. Now that there was a comparison, no one believed that Myra would dump Tony and get back together with Sean. Meanwhile, Sean’s reckless acquisition of the Stark Group’s shares would put a strain on the Chase Group’s cash flow. If anything happened, what Sean gained wouldn’t make up for what he had lost, for Myra would definitely not appreciate his kindness.
