Chapter 194


    That’s why I wanted to quickly wrap Tony around my finger. I did not expect him to be such a difficult


    man with such a weird state of mind. I can’t figure him out at all!


    “But, Myra is currently in charge of another project…” Kris refused to give up. She suddenly blurted out,


    “Besides, Dad, you know that Myra only returned to the Stark Group to retake thepany shares


    from you. Making her the general manager… What if she gradually seizes power and takes control of


    the Stark Group?!”


    Cameron’s expression turned grim, but the change was barely visible. He quickly turned around. “Kris, I


    know what you’re thinking. A man like Tony Hart won’t be satisfied with just one woman—he is well


    aware of the differences between women. Myra has been abandoned by the Stark Family for a long


    time. Meeting him was luck and making him reach out to help her was her ability. Still, this kind of ability


    will notst for long.” At this point, he paused with a rather mocking smile curling the corners of his lips.


    “This kind of ability… will probably fail once Hilliville falls into his handspletely. But, you… If you


    want to stand beside him, you will need to learn patience first.”


    “Dad, you’re just beating around the bush. At the end of the day, you still want to throw Myra into Tony’s


    bed!” Her expression was slightly distorted. She took a deep breath, preventing her lungs from


    exploding out of rage. “You just encouraged me to pursue Tony romantically this morning…”


    “That’s because I didn’t know that Myra was one step ahead of you; I didn’t know she was already in a


    rtionship with that man.” He could tell that she wasn’t happy. When it came down to it, he doted on


    this daughter more. He thought about her mother and softened his voice. “Since Tony likes Myra,


    what’s the big deal with giving her to him? In the end, she is going to be thrown away like that time with


    Sean. It won’t be any different.”


    “But—”


    “No need for buts.” She seemed like she still had more to say. However, he cut her words off directly.


    The impatience in his expression was gradually growing stronger. “Leave. Organize the data and


    transfer it to Myra. The Elsinore Garden Project must seed; failure is not an option!”


    Kris’ expression changed many times. When she saw that he did not wish to continue with the


    conversation anymore, she furiously stormed out of the office.


    Behind her, his expression became sullen. No wonder Myra wasn’t interested in the conditions I offered


    her—she’s found herself a backer. Hmph… By the time shees crawling back to me after being


    deceived and robbed of everything, it will be toote… Besides, it’s only a position of a general


    manager in thepany—it’s no big deal. The Stark Group is still in my hands. All these years I


    managed thepany was not for nothing. What can she do even if I named her the president of the


    Group.


    Cameron suddenly recalled the words Myra’s mother had uttered with a savage expression back then.


    His expression became slightly distorted in response, then he closed his eyes.


    Kris returned to her office and immediately swept all the documents on her desk to the ground. Outside


    the office, her assistant didn’t even dare to check on her after hearing themotion inside. During the


    time they worked together, her assistant was already familiar with her unstable mood swings. She


    would surely take her frustrations out on anybody that went into the office at this time.


    After another while, the door of the elevator opened on this floor and a gracefully dresseddy walked


    out of the elevator. She carried two thermos sks in her hands with a warm smile on her face. When


    her assistant saw thedy, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Mrs. Stark, I’m so d you’re here.”


    Rachel was stunned by the assistant’s expression for a moment. Then, she smilingly asked, “What’s


    wrong?”


    “Miss Kris has been throwing a tantrum in her office ever since she returned from President Stark’s


    office. Please go in and talk to her.”


    Aside from Rachel’s reputation in the Stark Group as the mistress who became the official wife, most


    people had a fairly good impression of her as a person. The main reason was that she had a gentle


    personality and did not like conflict. She once caught several employees red-handed when they were


    talking badly about her behind her back. However, she did not lose her temper with them. She simply


    smiled and allowed it to pass. She had a clear distinction between right and wrong. Therefore, she


    gained a good reputation among the old-timers in thepany over the years, especially Kris’


    assistant who was always troubled by Kris.


    Rachel smiled at the assistant apologetically. “Kris is still a kid; she sure has troubled you a lot. I will go


    in and talk to her immediately.”


    Although the assistant had started sweating slightly, Rachel’s words were very kind. Thus, she quickly


    shook her head. “It’s nothing.”


    Rachel smiled at her again before opening the office door and going inside. When she went inside, she


    did not forget to close the door behind her. She studied the messy office for a moment. Then, she no


    longer kept up the gentle expression she maintained in front of others—her expression quickly turned


    grim. “What are you doing?! Your assistant mentioned that you’ve been feeling down ever since you


    returned from Cameron’s office. Kris, did you get into a fight with your dad?”


    As soon as Kris saw her mother, she finally found a ce to pour out all the grievances in her heart.


    Her eyes were red as she viciously said, “Mom, I finally had my eye on a man, but Myra just had to


    snatch him away from me! Moreover, Dad tacitly allowed her to do that!”


    “Who is this man?” Rachel narrowed her eyes slightly. She knew very well that not many men could


    catch her daughter’s interest.


    “Who else? Director Hart of the Hart Group—Tony Hart!” Thinking back to all the times she had shown


    kindness to that man only to be coldly ignored, she felt overwhelmingly heartbroken. At the same time,


    her resentment toward Myra grew deeper.


    “Tony Hart?” Rachel was astonished, but she quickly regained herposure. She nced at her


    daughter and ced the two thermos sks on the desk that was now clean and empty without a single


    item on it. Unscrewing the cap on one of the thermos sks, she poured out some soup from inside


    and handed it to Kris. “Drink some of this soup and calm down.”


    “Mom, how can you ask me to calm down at this point?!” Kris could smell her favorite chicken soup, but


    she didn’t have any appetite at the moment. “Myra, that b*tch! She is more of a slut than her mother


    was! Even though she was abandoned by Sean not too long ago and divorced him as a result, she


    immediately hooked up with Tony instead! Mom, did you know?! Dad is going to make Myra the general


    manager soon! He is also going to transfer the Elsinore Garden Project that I worked so hard on to


    Myra! How am I supposed to calm down, Mom?! She was kicked out of the Stark Family, so why am I


    always suppressed by her in whatever I do?!” While ranting, her tears began to flow, ruining the


    makeup on her face. “Dad is too much too! Just this morning, he encouraged me to pursue Tony


    romantically. Now, he tacitly epted the rtionship between Myra and Tony. In my opinion, he only


    thinks of Myra as his daughter!”


    “Don’t you dare say that about your father!” Rachel frowned. Lowering her voice, she shouted, “Are you


    trying to let the whole world know?! What have I taught you all these years, Kris Hart?! Did I teach you


    all that for nothing?! Don’t pick a fight with Myra and don’t snatch what belongs to her. If she likes it,


    then just leave her be.”


    “But, why?! I’ve yielded to her for more than 20 years! Do I have to step aside for her for the rest of my


    life?!” Kris’ expression was full of grievances. “Mom, I don’t want to live so pitifully…”


    “I didn’t ask you to endure forever.” Rachel looked visibly moved. She touched Kris’ head and softly

    said, “But, you can only achieve greater heights with patience. Did you forget how I slowly climbed my


    way up to this position?” Seeming to recall something, a trace of savagery flitted across her eyes


    before disappearing. Simrly, herplexion soon returned to her usual gentle expression. Only her


    voice still held some coldness to it. “Kris, those that are living a blissful life right now are usually the


    ones that will meet the cruelest endings. Look at Myra’s mother; what sort of state did she end up in?


    I’m sure your father has his reasons for doing that. Besides, did you forget that we still have a trump


    card?”
