Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 48

When Myra and Henry raised their heads, they saw a slender woman standing at the other end of the fountain, which was not far from them. Even though the woman was already in her late thirties, she looked like she was barely 30 years old. Although she was elegant, there was a hint of worry and sorrow on her face that Myra detected at that moment.

On the other hand, after Tony entered the mansion, a maid took his coat from him and placed a pair of indoor slippers in front of him.

“Young Master Tony, Old Master Hart has been waiting for you in the study for a while.”

With that, she smartly retreated to the kitchen.

As soon as he knocked on the door to enter, a voice commanded loudly from the room, “Wait at the door!”

Even though it was a rather old voice, it was still full of strength. It was obvious from his tone that the man in the room was not in a good mood.

Tony arched his eyebrows as he closed the door of the study and obediently obeyed the order—he stood straight on the spot without taking another step.

After Sebastian finished his writing, he realized that it was indeed his grandson, the one who had caused a lot of problems, standing obediently by the door. Because of the news that his eldest grandchild, Serena, had brought, his foul mood which lasted for half the day took a slightly better turn. After eyeing the door sideways, Sebastian said in annoyance, “Enter.”

Tony walked into the room indifferently.

Sebastian dried the calligraphy that he wrote earlier and placed a paperweight on the table. He was not in the mood to argue with his youngest grandson, so he cut to the chase. “Do you know the Young Lady from the Hay Family?”

Tony frowned slightly before asking nonchalantly, “Which Hay Family?”

Seeing that he deliberately asked that question, Sebastian glared at him. “Which other Hay Family exists”

Tony’s eyes narrowed as he met Sebastian’s gaze with a half-smirk on his face. “Bradfort City is rather big, so I bet there are many families with the last name of ‘Hay’. There are also thousands of people with this last name as well. How would I know which Hay Family you are referring to?”

“You… Rascal!” Sebastian was furious by his reply. Judging from his attitude, I’m sure he’s deliberately defying me! If I don’t have an important matter to discuss with him, I would love to throw this inkstone at him! “Which Hay Family? Of course, the one who secured the Sunny Bay Project from the Hart Group! Do you know this Hay Family?”

After he pretended to think about it, Tony looked as though he had a realization. “Oh, you mean the Hay Group? Well, I do know them, but I didn’t know that they have already obtained the Sunny Bay Project.”

Seeing Tony’s stubborn response, Sebastian angrily gritted his teeth. The old man from Hay Group just called to tell me that we are going to collaborate soon. He even thanked my grandson for taking care of his granddaughter and sent good wishes for us to take care of each other. However… My grandson would take care of his granddaughter? When has Tony become such a kind person?

After he hung up on the call, he immediately called Mr. Logan—the person in charge of the Project Department of Hart Group.

When Mr. Logan received the call from Sebastian, he did not dare to reveal much. Instead, he merely told him the objective facts—the Hay Group and the Chase Group had competed to work on the Sunny Bay Project. There was a designer from the Chase Group who was involved in a plagiarism case.

After thinking about it, Sebastian immediately realized that Tony was behaving in an odd manner. Why would he be personally involved in such a small project? The Chase Group is involved in plagiarism? Old Master Hay calling me to tell me the news of our collaboration? Isn’t it obvious that Tony is doing all of this for the Young Lady of the Hay Family?

Since Serena was about to get divorced, he had not been in a good mood. Hence, that piece of news finally cheered him up, albeit slightly. He did not even tell his wife before he confirmed the authenticity of the news. As a result, he quickly summoned Tony over to confirm it with him. However, his face darkened when he saw such an attitude from Tony.

“What do you mean? Tony, you are no longer young. Do you still think you can play hard to get—like those young ladies?”
