Chapter 83


    “I’ll be busy, so I won’t be joining you.” With that, Myra gave Estelle a wink before turning to leave.


    On the other hand, Estelle gaped at her as she left, so much so that her eyes almost popped out of


    their sockets. No longer able to suppress her anger, she let out a howl. “Myra Stark, you rascal! What


    did Shawn promise you? Let go of me, you b*stard! I’ll break both of your legs if you dare touch me—


    Um—” Her voice was muffled out, and things soon heated up.


    Myra paused before smiling out of relief. It’s time someone teach her a lesson. From what she could


    see, Shawn’s feelings toward Estelle were genuine, so she was certain Shawn would treasure Estelle.


    Myra arrived at the cafeteria on time, but L was nowhere to be found. She wasn’t in a hurry, so she


    ordered a ss of lemonade after taking a seat. After some thought, she ordered another ss. While


    sipping on her drink, she nced at the bustling street view outside. The sun had set rather early. As


    darkness descended, the street lights lit up one by one, giving the city a warm glow.


    “It has been a while since west saw each other. You are as punctual as ever, Miss Stark.”


    A familiar lilt came from behind her, but her countenance shifted at the sound of such a pleasant voice.


    Cafeterias were designed to be more enclosed, so Myra’s table was blocked from view by a thick


    bamboo growth. When she turned around, she saw L pushing the bamboo aside, from which her


    slim figure emerged.


    L observed Myra, who quickly schooled her expression, with a smile on her dainty lips. Then, she


    took off her sunsses slowly, cing them on the table in front of her. “Does this ce look familiar to


    you?”


    The pianist in the cafeteria had just finished a splendid performance of ‘Für Elise,’ which was followed


    by a sparse apuse. However, the two of them seemed to be isted in their own world, the tense


    atmosphere between them setting them apart from the crowd.


    Myra held a sophisticated nce. She knew what L meant. Back when Eve forced L to leave the


    city, Myra asked to meet her in the exact same cafeteria. Two yearster, it was still in business. Back


    then, the atmosphere between them was even more awkward. But on second thought, Myra


    recognized that it might very well just be a matter of perspective. Not wanting to waste time beating


    around the bush, she cut to the chase. “Didn’t you tell me you would like to talk about what happened


    to Sean’s baby that you carried?”


    Although Myra tried her best to hide her feelings of unease, L could read her like an open book. With


    a smile on her face, L asked, “Why the rush? I have plenty of time to tell you the full story.”


    L let out a chuckle while staring at Myra with an ever broadening smile. It had only been two years,


    and despite the fact that they had returned to the same ce, both of them had opposite mentalities


    “Myra, I have to say, you’re even more useless than I thought.” L gave her a once-over before letting


    out a chuckle. “You’re as disgusting as ever. You didn’t even manage to win Sean over.”


    There was a drastic shift in Myra’s countenance when she shot up from her seat abruptly.


    “Don’t you want to know about the child?” L was unaffected despite Myra’s reaction, as if she was


    certain that Myra wouldn’t leave. “You’re free to go if you don’t think you want the answers.”


    With that, L sat down to take a sip out of the lemonade in front of her with slight disdain. Sure


    enough, Myra didn’t leave. Instead, she was clutching onto the strap of her bag, and managed to calm


    herself down within a short time. Then, she called for a waiter. “I would like to have some more water


    please.”


    After that, she sat back down, and a heavy silence hung in the air between them. Just when L


    arched her brow, Myra spoke upnguidly. “I know why you’re here. Even if you didn’te back, I’ll


    soon be divorcing Sean anyway.”


    That short sentence seemed to have taken a whole lot out of her. However, she knew she owed L


    an exnation, since she was the one who made the promise. Although nothing dictated that she had


    to follow through on the promise, she acknowledged that it was, nheless, a breach of trust.


    Memories of Sean’s aloofness toward her in the past two years prompted her to squeeze her hands


    together while wearing a self-deprecatory expression. “He never liked me. On the contrary, he loved


    you all the same despite the hatred that he harbored toward you. If you’re here to protest, I’ll have you


    know that you already won. In fact, you always had the advantage,” she said. Meanwhile, I’ve always


    been on the losing end.


    “Won?” L smiled. Although her smile was dainty, Myra couldn’t help but feel a sense of dread when


    she saw that. “I have not won, at least for now. Do you know what is it that makes me hate you the


    most?” L asked.


    The smile on her face melted away as she stared at Myra’s dark and alluring eyes with a vicious glint. “I


    hate you for having the support of your family despite having done nothing to deserve it! I hate that Eve

    would beg for you to marry Sean even though you didn’t even put in any effort! Myra Stark, why do you


    get to have things that are way better than those that I possess when I’m so much better than you?”


    At that moment, the light in L’s eyes had died out, and something dark took its ce. Her intense


    stare sent a shiver down Myra’s spine. Begrudgingly, Myra retorted, “I don’t even want my family if I get


    to choose.” After all, she had no qualms parting with everyone and everything rted to her father.


    “Those are but hollow words!” L took a second to scan her surroundings, a hint of menace fleeting


    across her gaze. “It’s all because you never experienced all the hardships that normal people like me


    have experienced! Speaking of which, I have never seen someone as shameless as you. Who are you


    to meddle in my rtionship with Sean? Who do you think you are? The Messiah? Aren’t you being a


    little too haughty?”


    Myra squeezed her hands together when L was going all out on her. “You can’t hide anything from


    me! I know your b*tch of a mother was the one who undermined your father’s rtionship with another


    woman that he liked! However, she did receive her karma, having been reduced to a madwoman who


    ended her own life! As for you—”


    Before L could finish, she was given a loud, hard p on the face. She wore an odd expression


    while observing Myra, whose chest was heaving due to anger. Then, she let out a chuckle. “Myra, you


    should me yourself for going back on your word. If only you’d honored our agreement, nothing


    would’ve happened, including everything that happened after…”


    All of a sudden, L’s gaze became even weirder. After that, she snatched the ss of water in front of


    Myra to ssh it on herself while Myra watched in bafflement. In the meantime, the weird look in her


    eye transformed into one of innocence and weakness.


    As tears rolled down her cheeks, she retrieved a stack of photos from her bag before spreading them


    out on the table. Then, she beganmenting, “Myra, I know you don’t like Sean, but you’re still a


    married couple, so how can you do this to him? You shoulde at me if you hate me. I don’t mind


    begging for your forgiveness, so please don’t do this to him…” By the end of her words, she sniffled.
