Chapter 99


    “But…” Tilly knew that she was going to miss Myra a lot, but she also knew that what Myra said was


    true. She was just a girl from a regr family, and her pay elsewhere wouldn’t be as high as what


    Chase Group was paying her now. “You have to keep in touch with me, Miss Stark. We can still chat


    even if we’re working in differentpanies,” Tilly uttered.


    For the first time that day, a broad grin surfaced on Myra’s face. “Of course.”


    After that, Myra felt a lot more reassured—it was probably because she had gotten her hands on the


    divorce agreement. She started to let go of the Sunny Bay Project as she handed most of her workload


    over to Tilly. On the fourth day after Sean had left, Myra drove to the Chase Group building as usual.


    She led her car into the basement and was heading to her usual parking spot when she found herself


    distracted by the luxurious Aston Martin Taraf that was parked beside her. There are only a few people


    in Bradfort City who can drive a car like this. Since this person hase over to the Chase Group, he


    or she is probably looking for Sean. Is Sean back from his business trip already? Myra didn’t think too


    much about it; she simply thought that she would head over to look for Sean if he was back in the


    office. She quickly parked her car at her usual spot before she headed up in the elevator. In


    ordance with Tilly’s request, Myra had been slowly organizing all of her architectural design projects


    and other design collections for her.


    Myra had only been organizing her files for a while when she received a phone call from Tilly. She


    picked it up with a smile. “Hello—”


    “Miss Stark! Miss Stark! Ahh—” Before Myra could say anything else, Tilly’s terrified screams came


    from the other end of the call. Her screams were tangled up with a mixture of several men’s questions


    and growls.


    Myra’s face fell immediately. “What’s going on, Tilly?!”


    “Miss Stark…” Tilly was sobbing as she finally seemed to have gotten hold of her phone again. “Miss


    Stark, there have been some riots going on at the construction site. The foreman, Chris Harvey, would


    like to meet you. He wants to talk about how the workers have stopped their work; he also wants to ask


    about the workers’ payment. He said that Chase Group… isn’t paying them…”


    Riots at the construction site? The expression on Myra’s face turned into a serious one. The Sunny Bay


    Project had been proceeding smoothly all along; she never encountered any issues in the past. She


    even asked the finance department about the workers’ sry previously, and they mentioned that they


    would receive the funds for thepany soon; there shouldn’t have been an issue with their sries.


    “Stop crying, Tilly. Hand the phone over to Chris—there must be some sort of misunderstanding here.”


    Once Myra gave her orders, the phone was immediately handed over to someone else. Soon enough,


    a man’s hoarse voice came on the line. “Are you Miss Stark?”


    Myra didn’t wish to dy such matters. She knew that she had to take things into her own hands, so


    she hastily picked her coat up and rushed toward the elevator as she spoke on the phone. “Yeah, that’s


    right. Chris, please help me to let the workers at the construction site know that Chase Group will pay


    them their sry soon. I’ve already asked the finance department about this. Our project can’t be


    dyed as Chase Group would suffer significant losses for every day that the work isn’tplete. The


    workers will have to go on with their work.”


    “I can’t care less about your losses. How are you going to expect the workers to be motivated to work


    when they aren’t getting their pay?” Chris shouted aggressively from the other end of the call. “The


    men and I aren’t pushovers! We’re going to bring this to the court if you don’t pay us!” His words were


    followed by the voices of a bunch of men agreeing to his statement.


    “Please calm down.” The Sunny Bay Project would bepletely ruined if such matters were brought


    to court, and Chase Group would surely have to cover all the losses. Not only that, Hart Group would


    probably put all of the me on Chase Group as well. Myra took a deep breath before she continued


    and said, “Chase Group is a rtively reputable business; of course we would nevermit such


    horrible deeds of not paying our workers. Director Chase has been away from thepany recently


    and we don’t have the power to make our own decisions, but he’sing back today, so—”


    “I don’t want to listen to your bullsh*t! I want you here at the construction site now. Otherwise, I’m not


    going to let your young colleague go!” Chris’s aggressive growls came from the other end of the call


    before the line was cut off.


    Myra pressed her lips together when she heard the beeping sound of the busy signal on the phone.


    The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she ran toward her car and flung her door open before


    she hopped in, started her engine and sped off.


    The man who had been seated in the backseat of the Lagonda Taraf watched as Myra made her every


    move. He then narrowed his eyes when he noticed the anxious expression on her face, sucking his thin


    lips inward as he watched her.


    Soon enough, another man opened the door to the driver’s seat of the Taraf. That man had a tidy and


    proper appearance; he was also dressed in a well-tailored suit. However, his face was expressionless


    as he got into the car and turned toward the man—whose face was covered by the shadows—in the


    backseat. “Director Hart, I’ve handed the documents over to Miss Fisher. She said that she’ll always be


    grateful for your help, and that these documents can be considered as her way of repaying you,” the


    man uttered politely.


    “Always be grateful for my help…” The man in the backseat let out a slight chuckle, a hint of mockery in


    it. He took the documents over and tore them apart without taking a look at them. Soon enough, a


    spark of light came from the backseat. A bright vermillion-colored fire lit up in the air, creating thick


    clumps of smoke.


    “Drive.” The man’s deep voice came from the backseat.


    The driver shuddered slightly before he answered, “Alright.” Then, the car slowly came into motion.


    Myra sped through her entire journey. She was contemting whether to make a police report; she


    didn’t know how things would turn out in the end. She gave Sean a call, but he didn’t pick his phone up.


    She then made another call to Richard, but he didn’t pick the phone up either. Her calls to the project


    manager and the design director were ignored as well. It’s like everyone just agreed on keeping their


    phones away from them today! Out of desperation, she decided that she would give Leo a call, who


    was quick to answer it.


    “Is anything the matter, Miss Stark?” Leo was still as friendly as ever—his attitude toward her hadn’t


    changed after her unpleasant encounter with Tony that night. Myra went straight to the point. “Leo,


    there are riots going on at the Sunny Bay Project’s construction site. Those people have held Tilly


    hostage, and I don’t know how to deal with this matter now. Do you think it’s possible for you to send


    some men over to control the workers at the construction site?”


    Once he heard the sound of the car engine on the other end of the call, Leo quickly lowered his


    fountain pen before he responded in a serious tone and asked, “Where are you now, Miss Stark?”


    “I’m rushing to the construction site right now.” After all, Myra was worried that something bad might


    happen to Tilly. “I wanted to call the police, but I was afraid that things might get out of hand. Since I


    couldn’t contact anyone else, I had to call you…”


    “Miss Stark, please stop your car somewhere; don’t go to the construction site just yet.” Leo’s


    expression faltered as he quickly ran toward Tony’s office. However, he then knitted his brows together


    as he recalled that Tony wasn’t in the office that day. “Listen to me, Miss Stark—I’m going to inform


    Director Hart about this right now. Don’t go there just yet. Director Hart will make sure to handle this,”


    Leo said in a worried voice.


    Will Director Hart deal with this? Of course, I wouldn’t have to feel worried about this if he’s willing to


    take matters into his own hands. However… “All right. I’ll leave it to you, then. Thank you.” Myra slowed


    her car down. But after the line cut off on the other end, she stepped on the gas and rushed toward the


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    construction site once again. It would take nearly two hours for Leo to rush to the construction site from


    where his office is. I cannot—and will not—leave Tilly alone for such a long time.


    It only took Myra 30 minutes to arrive at the Sunny Bay Project construction site. When she got there,


    the entire ce was empty. She walked toward the central area and heard the voices of men shouting.


    Soon enough, she was faced with an empty piece ofnd; all the workers who were supposed to be at


    work were either gone or had gathered in a group a distance away from where she stood.
