Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean) novel Chapter 96

Tony’s going to use nearly ten billion just to chase a girl! “That woman is asking for quite a bit! Let me meet her personally. I’d like to see if she’s actually worth that ten billion!” Sebastian took his coat hanging on the back of his chair and attempted to step out of the door, but his grandson stopped right in front of him to block his way. The old man couldn’t stop himself from scolding Tony again. “You b*stard! Why are you still standing here?! Hurry up and get rid of that woman! You’ll never be able to afford a woman like her even if she gets married and becomes part of the Hart Family!”

“Whether or not I can afford her is my business,” Tony uttered in a calm tone. “I need the money that’s in Switzerland. You just need to remember to cash it out in time, old man.” Tony gave the old man an intense gaze.

“You… Ouch!” Sebastian clutched onto his chest and cried out in pain. He had held himself back ever since Lisa told him not to lecture his grandchildren so frequently, but now, he felt guilty for being too nice to this stubborn bull of a grandson who stood before him. Tony was very familiar with the old man’s tactics; he simply pretended as if he was about to head out of the room. “It’s fine if you don’t want to give me the money. I can go to Old Madam Hart; I’m sure her dowry…”

“Come back here, you b*stard! How dare you even think of touching your grandmother’s dowry! You unfilial grandson!” Sebastian immediately straightened his body the moment he heard Tony’s idea. He no longer looked like his chest was hurting.

Tony simply let out a faint smirk. However, he didn’t walk over to his grandfather; he simply headed out of the study. “I don’t have to come back; I’ll just get Leo to come over and check the amount of money on Sunday.” Tony was already making his way downstairs as he spoke.

Sebastian was fuming; he felt like he could tear all of his moustache out in anger right then. After some contemplation, he finally gave Elliot a call. “Hey, you brat. I want you to answer me honestly—who is the girl that Tony’s going after right now?! What kind of expensive woman is that?! It’s fine if he doesn’t want to show me the woman; but how could he ask so much money from the family?!”

On the other end of the line, Elliot sounded rather uncertain as he spoke. “It’s not that we don’t want to tell you about it, Old Master Hart; I just think you should ask Tony yourself. You know that I’m going to be in huge trouble if I tell you about it…”

“You coward! Why are you so afraid of him?! At the very least, you should tell me the woman’s address. I promise I won’t tell your brother anything! I’ll just go over to take a peek at her; I won’t do anything else!” The old man insisted.

“I can’t do that either… I know that you’re going to do more than just take a peek! Just let me go, Old Master Hart. You can ask Philip or Lucas—they might tell you about it!”

Sebastian gritted his teeth. He could tell that Elliot was preparing to end the call. “Elliot, you brat! If you don’t want your grandmother to continue forcing you on dates, then you’d better tell me about it honestly. Otherwise…” Right then, the old man suddenly recalled something that Old Madam Samson had told him. She mentioned that Elliot was helping Tony to look for apartments… His gaze lit up for a moment before he continued in a nonchalant tone on the phone. “Just tell me about that apartment you found for Tony recently. Tell me where it is. I just want to go take a look at his apartment, eh?”

Elliot hesitated for a long while. “I just want to look at his apartment. What’s wrong about that?! Are you trying to ask for trouble here? Okay. I’ll just call your grandmother and ask her,” Sebastian hissed.

“Hey, hey, hey. Don’t do that, Old Master Hart… It’s the Ocean Blue Residence on Heathrow Street. It’s Unit 709 on the 7th floor in Block A. Don’t tell anyone that I told you about it, Old Master Hart!” Elliot looked extremely helpless and glum right then. He quickly ended the call once he finished his words.

After Sebastian heard the address, he quickly noted it down on his rice paper before he lifted a brow. “I’d really like to see what sort of extravagant person this woman is!” Then, the old man cheerily made his way downstairs. On his way out, he stopped in his tracks and gestured for his great-grandchild—Henry, who had been doing his homework—to come over. “Come here, Henry. There’s something I’d like to ask you about.”

Henry tottered over hastily. Sebastian couldn’t help but feel a sense of frustration when he saw how old his granddaughter’s child was now. Alas, none of my grandsons have given me a great-grandchild yet. He contained his anger as he flashed Henry a wide smile. “Henry, didn’t you mention that your Uncle Tony previously brought his girlfriend home?”
