Chapter 115


    As he massaged his temples, Sean could feel a splitting headacheing on. Besides, the current


    situation in thepany was a huge mess. “I might be remanded in custody for a few days because of


    the incident that happened two years ago during the restoration work on Marina Bay Bridge. There


    were a few deaths that happened then,” he muttered.


    “Seriously, what’s going on?!” Eve yelled out as she felt her head spinning. At the sight of her losing her


    bnce, Sean and L mbered to her side immediately. They busied themselves putting pressure in


    between her eyebrows and slowly patting her on the back until she regained herposure. All


    through the process, Sean seemed troubled.


    “Mom, there’s no need to worry! I’ll only be in custody for a couple of days, then Richard will get me out


    of there in no time. It’s all just a mere formality, so you shouldn’t fret,” Sean uttered confidently.


    However, there was a thunderous look on his face as he never expected this incident to resurface after


    such a long time. This was obviously an intentional move by one of their rivals to show him up. As


    such, he had no choice but to ept this and remain in custody for at least a few days.

    “Why does it have to be you though?” Eve wailed as her tears dropped. “Can’t you get someone else to


    take the fall for you? What if… What if you get implicated this time? Is this why? Is this the reason for


    —” Suddenly, Eve grasped L’s hand and said, “Is this the reason for us losing that potential client?


    We nearly closed the deal to sell that parcel ofnd!”


    L was momentarily shocked and speechless. Earlier, Leo had just mentioned to her that there was


    an issue regarding thepany that needed to be resolved. Therefore, this had to be the issue he was


    talking about.


    “But Sean! What’s going to happen to me and thepany if you’re not here to hold the fort?” Eve was


    inconsble.


    Sean could feel his blood pressure spiking as his veins pulsated. “Mom, I promise! It will be only for a


    couple of days and I’ll be out in no time!”


    “Sean…” L bit on her lips nervously and asked, “What will happen to our potential client then? How


    can we maintain their trust? Wouldn’t it make more sense to find someone else to take the fall? If it’s


    just a matter of money, let’s go ahead with this n.” The previous n was assumed to be fool-proof.


    However, this unexpected situation came out of nowhere and ruined everything. Frankly, it was slightly


    nerve-wracking for L.


    Sean’s gaze flickered as he murmured, “I’m the person in charge of Chase Group, but besides me…”


    “Tell me! Is there anyone else that can rece you? Let me know and I’ll go and plead for their help!


    L is right! We can’t afford to have you in custody right now. It may be just for a few days, but the


    consequences will be ongoing. I can’t imagine what would happen to thepany, and how are we


    supposed to deal with the aftermath?” Eve was frantic.


    “Sean, Ipletely agree with Eve.” L gripped her hands tightly as she spoke. “Thepany’s


    future is our utmost priority. Besides, you shouldn’t cause undue concern for Eve.” L chose her


    words carefully.


    “I know of someone else who can bear the responsibility…” Sean exhaled deeply and replied. He could


    feel a tight grip on his heart and it was ufortable for him to even take a deep breath. His thoughts


    ran wild as his mind went toward that woman. With an expressionless face, he took a deep breath and


    stated, “Myra can take the fall for me.”


    On the next day, Myra met up with Estelle at her filming location.


    Estelle was coincidentally on her break when Myra arrived. There was an annoyed look on Estelle’s


    face as Jack, her manager, tried his best to appease her. “My darling, Miss Langley, please don’t be


    upset! This is just Shawn’s way of showing his affections. Besides, you had troublepleting that


    previous scene too! The director looked quite annoyed with you with each outtake.”


    Estelle scowled heavily. “Whatever it is, I’m not rted to Shawn Hart! He has no right to decide on the


    type of movie I choose to be in! Besides, this is a romantic movie! How am I supposed to act in a


    romantic scene if he forbids any kind of intimacy at all? And don’t get me started on the director! Why


    did he go behind my back and agree to Shawn’s requests? This is wrong!” Estelle yelled, her face


    flushed red with anger. At the same time, she saw Myra walking toward her from afar, so she waved


    frantically at her friend. “Myra! I’m here!”


    “What’s up? Why’re you in such a foul mood?” Myra asked with an indulgent smile on her face.


    Estelle pouted her daintily-painted lips, and before she could say a word, Jack had butted in, “It’s


    Shawn. He just visited us and decided to put a halt to all the intimate scenes involving Estelle. She’s


    quite upset about this!”


    Myra was caught by surprise, but then she quickly regained herposure. Teasingly, she said,


    “Darling, you should be thankful for the attention from Shawn. You know, every actress in town would


    kill to be in your position; they’d die to have Shawn showing concern for them. That’s why you should


    be satisfied with what you have.”


    “Well, then how about yourself?” Estelle retorted. Despite being in the public eye, Estelle rolled her


    eyes at Myra and went on to say, “Myra, don’t even think of making things up! I saw the photos of you


    and Tony Hart on the golf course. You two were practically wrapped around each other!”


    Myra gaped at Estelle. Just as she was about to exin herself, Estelle interrupted her and gave her a


    sharp look. “Don’t tell me you two are just friends! It’s obvious that there’s more than meets the eye! I


    can tell from the tabloid pictures taken from the golf course that the two of you are definitely more than


    friends!”


    Feeling rather speechless, Myra halted her sentence, a wry smile on her face. Undeniably, that was


    what she was going to say. Despite everything, Tony behaved like a gentleman. Hence, she would


    continue regarding him as a friend. Other than that, she had no further wishful thoughts.


    “Look at you! You’ve gone all silent again!” eximed Estelle as she reached over for a slice of apple.


    Giving Myra a sideways nce, she took a bite out of the apple and with her mouth bulging, she


    continued, “How frustrating! If it were up to me, I would suggest that you go after him!”


    As soon as the words left her mouth, Estelle realized she was such a genius. She was quite impressed


    with her own suggestion. Leaning toward Myra, Estelle peered at her with sparkling eyes and said, “Did


    you pay attention to what I just said? You must find a way to attract Tony then hold onto him! You’ll


    never find another guy that’s as good as him! Besides…”


    With a chuckle, Estelle winked at Myra and mentioned, “Besides, I’ve got great news! Shawn just


    confided in me that Tony has decided to rece L’s position as the ambassador of the Sunny Bay


    Project, and I’ll be the next ambassador. On top of that, from now onward, Hart Group will cease all


    future coboration with L!”


    Does this mean L will no longer be the ambassador of Hart Group? As soon as she heard that, Myra


    could feel her heart skip a beat. “Tony…”


    “That’s right!” Estelle gleefully interrupted Myra. She was on cloud nine and it was as if Tony had made


    all those decisions for her sake. “Tony’s trying to win your favor! Once all this is finalized, L will be


    out of the limelight and there won’t be any more jobs left for her in this city. No one would dare to cross


    the path of Tony Hart! He’s obviously trying hard to prove his sincerity to you.”


    Myra had a bewildered look on her face as she listened to Estelle’s chatter. Then, she replied, “It’s only


    one single endorsement. Besides, you’ve had multiple other ambassador job offers, so why are you so


    easily impressed by this? What kind of bribery is this? What’s more, this isn’t set in stone yet, so what


    Shawn mentioned might note true.”


    “That’s right! It is bribery!” Estelle’s eyes sparkled as she heard Myra’s words. Ignoring the apple


    handed to her, she held Myra’s hands and grinned widely. “Can I assume this is you admitting that he is


    trying to win your favor?”


    Subsequently, Jack walked off to give the two girls some privacy. Myra bit on her lips with a frustrated


    expression on her face. Pursing her lips, she tilted her head to the other direction and muttered, “It was


    just a game. That’s why I didn’t take it for real. Why are you taking this so seriously?”


    “Why not?!” Estelle looked at Myra with an indignant look on her face. “It’s Tony Hart we’re talking


    about! Do you reckon he’s a yer?”


    Myra stiffened as she replied, “Well… No.”


    “Exactly!” Estelle reached out and poked Myra on her forehead. “You’re such a blockhead! Promise me


    you’ll seize this opportunity! You must call him as soon as possible. It’s a good idea to be slightly


    reserved, but you shouldn’t be too aloof either. However, judging by your expression, you must be quite


    aloof when you’re around Tony! I’m actually quite impressed that he can tolerate this attitude of yours!


    Anyway, you have to call him right now. Ask him out on a dinner date! Go on!”
