Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 634

In less than a minute, the woman immediately called the ringleader on loudspeaker. From the other end of the phone, Myra’s voice rang.

Tony pretended to be calm, but he gradually clenched his fists. He was actually suppressing his true emotions. In fact, her voice had almost caused him to break down. The woman had no plans to let him speak to Myra as she merely and coldly eyed his facade.

“Tony, don’t come looking for me.” As Myra forced this sentence from her lips, his expression slightly changed as he had no idea how he should react.

However, without even giving him enough time to think about it, the woman immediately hung up. Seething with anger, he angrily glared at her.

“Aren’t you satisfied about this, Director Hart?” Her teasing tone had annoyed him even more.

“How dare you tease me!” Tony immediately enunciated his words with fury in his eyes.

He tried to calm himself down, but no matter how hard he tried, it was futile. The woman had been constantly challenging his bottom line and he could not even have a proper conversation with her.

As soon as he remembered that Myra had been kidnapped, he could not remain calm. On top of that, she was pregnant. Based on the current situation that they were in, he was completely passive.

“Director Hart, don’t be angry. You need to remember that your wife is still in our hands. I’m not threatening you, but I just want to kindly remind you of this fact,” the woman said calmly. Her every single action was challenging Tony’s patience.

“What the hell do you guys want?” It was not the first time that Tony raised this question. There are no kidnappers who won’t demand anything at all! It makes no sense!

“Director Tony, calm down and wait. Give us some time to consider it.” Her reply this time was better, but it was still nonsense.

Tony seldom saw any kidnappers like them, so he had been guessing their true motives. However, the woman in front of him had tight lips and there was no way for him to make her spill the beans.

He had no idea what type of strategy he should use. It was probably better for him to stay silent at this point. Of course, he would not allow himself to be controlled by them, so there were some secret plans being carried out furtively.

On the other hand, Heather, who also had no clue what was going on, did not have any appetite for breakfast at all. Both her stomach and brain had remained empty.

She was already quite a slender woman and her face became even slimmer at this point. Her sharp jaw made her facial features even more prominent. Actually, she would look better with chubby cheeks as her sharp features would make others feel as though there was a huge distance between them. Just by looking at her, they seemed to feel her power.

It was yet another day without any action. Heather locked herself in her room for the entire day and she had also reminded Everly not to head out for the next few days as well.

Even though Everly had no idea what Heather was secretly up to, she chose to believe Heather. After what happened the day before, she had a change of feelings as she trusted Heather more.

Heather did not receive any calls from the ringleader for the entire day. Not wanting to continue to stay in her room, she prepared to take a walk in the evening.

Since the ringleader had been monitoring her all along, she did not have the opportunity to speak to Tony, who seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.

Privately utilizing her contacts, Heather discovered that he had not been going to work for two days. It was rather suspicious for a workaholic like him to be absent from work.

However, she was more surprised to learn that there were no abnormalities in the Hart Group. It seemed like Tony had already given his reasons to the board of directors for not being able to work.

Heather considered whether she wanted to look for Tony’s third brother, Shawn, who was in rather a unique position. After all, it was difficult to insert spies around Shawn.

However, it was not suitable for her to directly look for him. At that moment, she thought of Matthias, but she could not allow him to know what had transpired and she could not inform him about Myra’s incident either.

Heather had arrived at a bottleneck—unable to think of other people, she thought it would be better to look for Matthias since she couldn’t think of better ideas.

When he heard that she was coming over to his place, he was immediately stunned. It was her first time saying that she wanted to visit the Locke Group—something that he would never have imagined. It was simply too surprising for him that she would take the initiative to visit him.

As Matthias looked at his handsome reflection in the mirror, he thought about styling his hairstyle differently since he knew that Heather liked mature and stable men.

While looking in the mirror, he tried to comb his hair to the back of his head. He recently became a different person—as if he was a young man who had just fallen in love for the first time.

By the time Heather arrived, Matthias had already tidied himself. The reason why she had requested to meet him directly in his office was to avoid unnecessary troubles.

However, she never would have thought that the trouble she was avoiding was smack dead in the tightly secured Locke Group.

When Lara saw Heather, Lara’s lips uncontrollably curled up before she gave a cold smile while standing at a spot where Heather could not see her.

“You’re here, Miss Langston. Our director has been waiting for you.” Lara smiled widely at Heather and politely treated her.

However, Heather did not shoot her a second glance and directly walked into Matthias’ office. As she did not want anyone to recognize her, she did not plan to stay outside for long.

While looking at Heather leaving, Lara sneered with jealousy swimming in her eyes. After all, it was difficult for her not to be jealous. It was almost impossible for her to win the heart of the person she yearned for, yet it was incredibly easy for Heather. As a result, Lara hated Heather with a vengeance.
