Chapter 132
His words made her expression change. Then, she answered, “Director Hart invested in the Hartwell
Group in the United States together with the Young Master of the Walton Family. As I am acquainted
with the Walton Family, I know a thing or two about Director Hart as well. Speaking of which, Sean, I
have an urgent matter to attend to. The Hart Group has canceled my rights to be the spokesperson of
the Summer Bay Project, so I have to ask them for an exnation. You are aware of how much effort I
have put in to be their spokesperson.”
A hint of aggrievement appeared on her face when she said herst few sentences.
Upon hearing that, Sean’s gloomy expression eased and he took her into his embrace with a frown. “I
have just heard about it as well. Don’t worry, let’s first ask them what exactly happened.”
He was, in fact, the person who rmended L to be the spokesperson to promote Sunny
Bay Project. However, much to his surprise, the Hart Group chose Estelle instead of her.
When he thought of Estelle, it reminded him of Myra.
He had only recently divorced Myra and the Hart Group revoked L’s qualification as the
spokesperson for the project. Instead, they chose Estelle, who was close with Myra. Is there really
nothing fishy going on?
L soon arrived at the Hart Group. She went there alone because Sean had to deal with urgent
matters of the Chase Group and at the same time, she was unwilling to allow him to follow her there. In
the past, whenever she arrived at the Hart Group, she would be led to the floor where Tony’s office was
located. Nevertheless, she was stopped from going upstairs by the receptionist this time.
“My apologies, Miss Fisher. Director Hart said that he is not free today and has no time to meet you.”
“Are you sure that it was Director Hart who personally told you that? Please help me to convey a
message to Mr. rk—tell him that I am L and I have something to discuss with them.”
L did not believe that it was Tony who told her that.
The receptionist’s gaze at her slightly changed. Previously, she thought that L had a rtionship with
Director Hart. Now, it seemed to her that L had been pestering Director Hart due to her unrequited
love for him! Sigh, she is another woman who dreams of marrying into a wealthy family.
She shook her head. “Miss Fisher, what I said earlier was exactly what Leo asked me to convey to you.
It was also what Director Hart told him.”
L felt her vision be dark. “It’s impossible…”
Her cooperation with Tony was still alright in the afternoon and he even helped her to acquire the real
estate in Hilliville. Why have things suddenly be out of control after a mere hour?
“How about if I head upstairs to find him on my own?” Although it was a question directed at the
receptionist, L’s feet were already headed toward the ground floor elevator.
“Hey, Miss Fisher, you can’t head up directly without permission.” The receptionist immediately stopped
her. “If you continue being like this, I will have to call the security.”
L’s feet came to an abrupt pause. It was only then did she really believe that Tony indeed did not
wish to meet her.
She turned and saw the receptionist gazing with a look of displeasure on her face. With gloom welling
up inside her, she stomped her feet before turning to leave the Hart Group.
As soon as she left the building, she pressed hard on the number that had not been answered for some
time.
At the 48th floor of the office building, Elliot and two other men were peering at a man with a strange
expression. The man in question was staring at a dark phone on a ck table with a visibly bright
mood and a cigarette between his index and middle finger.
N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
At that moment, instead of a boring, dull ringtone, the phone on top of the ck elegant office table
repeated a phrase at a consistent speed—You are handsome; the most handsome one! You are
unbelievably handsome!
Every time the phone rang, the phrase would be repeated at least 5 or 6 times before it stopped. From
the moment it started ringing until now, there were already 7 or 8 missed calls.
Although Myra’s voice was melodious, the few of them were close to their breaking points after
listening to the phrase repetitively for dozens of times. Elliot then decided to risk his life and hung up on
the call. Upon noticing someone’s expression that fell at that instant, he quickly simpered. “Tony, we
have acquired all the real estate in the Chase Group’s Hilliville project and now, trouble has arrived.
What should we do with the assets owned by Myra? Should we acquire them as well?”
Upon hearing that, Tony slightly narrowed his eyes with a dark expression. He casually extinguished
the burnt-out cigarette in the ashtray while he regained his impassive expression.
After a while, he calmly replied, “There is no need for that now. Hype this project up again and send an
email to Shawn to inform him that a new industry is entering Hillville. He will know what to do.”
Lucas raised an eyebrow. “Tony, are you nning to allow the assets in Myra’s hands to increase in
value? Tony, she may be a shareholder of the Hart Group by then.”
Currently, other than the ones owned by Myra, almost all the real estate of Hillville had been acquired.
All that was left was to proceed with the next step.
It was in a businessman’s nature to acquire the real estate at its lowest price, but there would be
something wrong with the person’s mind if he intentionally jacked up the value of someone else’s
asset.
They would definitely purchase the assets owned by Myra sooner orter, but if they were to do so in
the future, the value of her assets would cause her worth to soar.
“What’s wrong with that?” Tony lit up another cigarette and he met the gazes of the three men amidst
the lingering smoke.
At the same time, he recalled Myra’s reply in the message. ‘Darling, you have to arrive on time. I will be
waiting for you at home. Muack!’
It was the first time that he intended to skip work and immediately drove to her apartment.
The three of them looked at one another before shaking their heads in speechlessness.
It was sometimes terrifying when a man started dating.
However, Philip did not forget about the woman who was trying to reach Tony earlier. “Tony, what
should we do with the woman—Miss Fisher?”
“Ignore her.” Tony slowly exhaled a puff of smoke while his expression was nonchnt. “She doesn’t
have the courage to do anything—at least for now.”
As a matter of fact, L did not onlyck the courage to do anything, but there was nothing she could
do. Meanwhile, she could not figure out what to do as well.
She did not know why he had suddenly treated her in this manner, but there was one thing she was
sure of now—his reason for purchasing Chase Group’s real estate was not because he did her a favor,
but more like he had an ulterior motive.
As for what his motive was, she was unsure of it.
All she could do now was to firmly cling onto the Chase Family. A woman would eventually leave her
career and return to her family and it was the ce she had always thought would provide her with a
lifetime of peace. Therefore, she had no choice but to bear with it despite her unwillingness to do so.
When Myra exited her room after changing into her casual clothes, Estelle had already switched on the
television to entertain herself. Upon seeing her, Estelle handed her some chips. “Do you want some?”
Myra took some chips and chucked them into her mouth. ying on the TV was Estelle’s favorite
horror movie, which she had watched countless times before on DVD. Myra took a seat beside her.
“You have just showered, right?” Estelle asked without turning to her side to look at Myra. Myra’s ears
slightly blushed as she calmly hummed in agreement.
“Myra, that’s not right. Which girl would wear a nude-colored bra with such thick straps when she is in a
rtionship? You would turn your man off when he removes your clothes!”
Estelle finally turned to face Myra; she pouted when she caught a glimpse of the bra strap on the
Myra’s face instantly flushed crimson, as if her real purpose had been seen through by the woman
before her. She muttered with gritting teeth, “I think this is alright.”
