Chapter 28
At that moment, Sean’s eyes were as cold as that of his in the photograph.
Myra was stunned to silence by his violent outburst. By the time she nced at Sean’s fist, it was
already trickling with blood due to the broken ss from the photo frame.
She forced herself to look away whileughing bitterly. “It is enough that I’m lying to myself and
everyone else. Why would you lie to yourself? For the past two years, you have been looking for her
shadow from all the women you have been with. I am sure that you have noticed that too—Eris’ lips,
Elsie’s eyes… Sean, you can tell me if you do not love me. As long as you are still in love with L, I
can even help you find her. I—”

“I told you that I no longer have feelings for that woman!” Sean cut Myra off while hissing in frustration. I
wonder if he is speaking to me or to himself.
His eyes were cold and distant while he regarded her, as though he would skin her alive if she were to
Myra trembled involuntarily while gripping the nket underneath her.
For the past two years, he has never looked at me properly. His gaze, which pushes me to despair, has
me drowning like a surging wave…
“You and that woman… It does not matter what is going on between you two. Right now, I just want a
divorce.” Myra repeated.
She was as pale as a sheet but she appeared to be determined. This, in return, caused the already
agitated Sean to be even angrier.
The humiliation and mockery I once had to endure, and the devil hiding underneath that angel mask of
hers…
Staring at Myra’s pure and petite face, Sean felt as if his veins might burst out of his head. The woman
in front of me and that woman from before… I will never forgive them!
He suddenly grabbed Myra’s wrist and he moved his face inches away from her. His eyes were aze
suddenly when he asked her, “Do you want to divorce me?” Sean’s face was contorted by his anger
while fear shed across Myra’s eyes. She gritted her teeth while nodding at him. “You don’t love me
and I do not want myself to be trapped in this marriage. Isn’t it better to grant ourselves freedom?”
“Grant ourselves freedom?” Sean chuckled in a gravelly voice but his gaze was frosty. “Myra, freedom
is a special right reserved for kind and innocent folks. What gives you the right for me to grant you
freedom?”
Myra’s expression changed drastically. “What do you mean by that?”
“Aren’t I being obvious enough?” Seanughed mockingly. “You have no right to im your freedom
ever since you got blood on your hands! L leaving me is out of my hands, but you… How dare you
make a move on my child? Why didn’t you let my child go all those years ago? You are asking me to
grant you your freedom now; do you think that I’d agree to that?”
“Are you saying that I… harmed your child?” The color drained from Myra’s face and she stared at him
in disbelief.
Sean thought of his unborn child, whose life was snatched away by the cruel Myra. He felt anger
tearing up his body from within, the pain so intense that he wanted to strangle the woman standing in
front of him.
“I have always thought that you were a kind woman and I even wanted to look after you for the rest of
your life. I did not expect you to be such a cruel and toxic person!”
Myra’s face turned as white as a ghost.
Cruel and toxic person… That’s right, Sean hasbelled me as such all along. It is obvious from his
gaze ever since I married him. It turns out that his cold and detached behavior for the past two years is
because of this child… However…
Myra stared at Sean in disbelief.
I knew about L being pregnant with his child and having a miscarriage, but what does that child have
to do with me?
“I think you are mistaken… You must have misunderstood something somewhere…” Myra mumbled.
She thought of something suddenly and hastily tugged at Sean’s shirt. “Listen to me, Sean. It’s not
what you think. I went looking for L to tell her that I will not break you two up—”
“Enough!” Sean roared, his gaze filled with disgust.
Myra’s heart clenched painfully. She wanted to say something but she just could not.
Thest glimmer of light went out in Sean’s eyes when he saw her shut her eyes. “Myra, do you know
what I hate about you? Stop acting like a saint, as if you are the only one who truly loves me in the
world. I can’t afford your love!” he spat coldly.
It seemed as if he was unwilling to stay with her for a moment longer because Sean picked his suit
jacket up. He then turned around and strode to the door.
The room door mmed shut and Myra couldn’t hold on any longer. She slumped onto the bed.
Previously, I went looking for L. At that time, Eve sought me out and she imed that she was fond
of me, so she would like me to be with her son. L misunderstood me, so I had no choice but to
arrange for a meetup to inform her that I would not break them apart. I wanted to tell her that I would
not promise Eve too… However…
Myra’s heart quivered in pain and she shut her eyes tightly, her lips trembling uncontrobly. Was there
a child involved apart from my failure of not being able to keep my promise to L?
Meanwhile, Eve was hiding in the adjacent room just outside of the door for some time. She snuck out
stealthily while staring at the door that was slightly ajar. Narrowing her eyes as she recalled fragments
from the past, she clenched her fists automatically and in the end, she sighed heavily.
The moment Myra woke up the next morning, she received a phone call from Estelle. “Myra, are you
sure you gave me Shawn’s phone number? Why does the person im that I’ve got the wrong number
when I called?” Estelle was energetic early in the morning. “I am sure that he doesn’t know who I am.
How dare he speak to me in such an icy tone? He even hung up on me!” she muttered gloomily.
Myra felt a throbbing headache forming behind her temples after receiving a phone call with such a
high decibel level. Her voice was hoarse as she murmured, “I asked Director Hart for Shawn’s phone
number. It is true that he gave me the number. If it isn’t Shawn, I guess Director Hart was brushing me
off.” After all, it’s someone else’s personal number, so why would he give it to an outsider without a
reason? I suppose he just did not want me to feel embarrassed at that time.
“This is so depressing!” Estelle almost broke down on the other end of the line. “I’ve exhausted all my
options. The men in the past would not havested more than two days. However, Shawn was able to
push me away when I was stark naked in his embrace! He even told me that he was not interested in
me! D*mn it!”
She cursed continuously at the end of her sentence.
Myra was not interested in her vulgarity but she scowled suddenly. “What did you say? Were you…
stark naked in his embrace?”
Estelle’s body stiffened. I think I blurted something out by ident due to my anger…
She pulled away her phone immediately. “Sofia, are you calling me? What? Is it time to shoot the next
scene? All right; I’ming!” Then, she spoke into the phone. “Hugs and kisses, Myra. I’m busy and I
can’t chat with you now; I’ll catch up with you another time. Bye!” She hung up swiftly after saying that.
Myra stared at her phone helplessly. Nobody would go overboard with such a bold act apart from
Estelle; she always seems to have endless energy.
Myra was slightly worried but since Estelle mentioned that Shawn took the initiative to push her away,
he must be a righteous gentleman.
Hence, Myra felt slightly reassured.
On the other hand, Myra was demoted quickly in the Chase Group. Her demotion was so abrupt and
without any exnation that it left many people confused. Some of them were worried, whereas others
were delighted at her misfortune.
The happiest of them all was Elsie, who had been doing quite well in thepanytely.
