Chapter 183
Myra recalled Kris always being fond of that vi in Cape District.
But it was a property that Cameron was hoarding—it was the most expensive and significant ce to
him—so he never let it go to Kris.
When Cameron blurted those words out, Myra felt disgusted but also surprised, and she understood
why Kris had a sour expression on her way out earlier. Nheless, she did not think that this was
Cameron’s sudden attempt at being a loving father. Narrowing her eyes at him, she said, “Just tell me
what this is about, President Stark. Even if you don’t find beating around the bush annoying, I find it
quite exhausting.”
This time, however, he was not displeased with her rude speech and simply gave her a resigned smile.
“Look at you. I just wanted to make your journey to work every day more convenient for you. Your sister
always wanted that vi, but I kept it for you. Myra, I treat you much better than I treat your sister.”
“Oh.” She did not show any emotions. “Since you want to give it to me, go through the procedures and
have someone leave the documents in my office once everything is ready. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get
going now.”
She turned to leave, but he held her back. “Wait, Myra. I want to discuss some things with you.”
Hearing his words, she furrowed her brows warily. Before she could say anything else, he pressed on,
“When you left the Chase Family, I remember you took fifty percent of Chase Group’s property in
Hilliville. Isn’t that right?”
Her steps came to a halt. Turning around, she retorted, “Which one of my houses are you interested in,
President Stark? Since you’re giving me that vi, just tell me which house you like and I will make the
changes and have someone bring the documents to you tomorrow.” How could she speak with such
spite?
His expression hardened for a moment, but he quickly put on a smile again. “Myra, as you already
know, Hilliville is a dead city. This was what I wanted to discuss with you. Owning that piece ofnd will
not serve you any purpose. If you’re just going to let it remain idle, why not sell it to me instead? I know
you’ve grown interested in investingtely. Why don’t you take away a bit of cash and do whatever you
want with it? What do you say?”
A thought struck her. “How much are you thinking of paying for thisnd?”
“How does a billion sound?” He lifted his teacup without making a sound and lowered his head to take
a sip, hiding the light that flickered across his eyes.
A billion… Indeed, a billion sounded tempting to Myra. The Stark Family currently owned eighty percent
of the shares in Stark Group. The remaining twenty percent was owned by outsiders. I need money in
order to buy those shares back, but… Seeing the emboldened look on his face, she started to grow
doubtful. Those feelings of doubt grew even deeper and quickly led her to refuse. “You must be joking,
President Stark. Aren’t you afraid of wasting your billion on that big piece ofnd?”

“Wasting?” He scoffed at her as though she was still ignorant. Standing up, he walked toward her and
went on, “Myra, isn’t having a billion better than having a dead city? You can make more money with
money, but why would you want to keep a dead city? Can it still bring you profit?”
“I don’t know about that, but I know you never get involved in a business that would cost you a loss in
capital. In that case, why should I sell it to you?”
She smiled, but there was not a trace of delight in her eyes. When she turned around, his low and deep
voice came from behind her. “Plus five percent of Stark Group’s shares.”
Her steps hesitated briefly, but she still kept on walking. “President Stark, don’t you know that the more
you add to this, the more you’re informing me of the value of this piece ofnd? Maybe I should put this
differently.” She snarled, “Don’t bother paying any attention to what I own!”
With that, she quickly walked out of his office.
Seeing her now firm and tenacious backpared to before, he started to feel the anger boil in his
chest and immediately flung the documents on his table aside. Did she get more intuitive after her
divorce? How did she not catch on to such a big bait? She even gained the upper hand in the end!
He narrowed his eyes sharply, then picked up his phone and called an internal line. Very quickly, the
call was answered. “Dad?”
“Kris, I give you my full support on what you told me earlier. Do your best to win Director Hart over. I’ll
be your powerful backing! Also, I heard the two elders of the Hart Family are fond of well-behaved girls.
You must win their favor to be able to get into the Hart Family smoothly!”
Kris felt a surge of joy. She reassured, “Don’t worry, Dad. I already know how I can win Director Hart
over. I won’t let you down.”
“One more thing…” The anger in his eyes had mostly subsided. He narrowed them and asked, “Do you
know where your sister keeps all her important documents?”
Myra left Cameron’s office to step into a fresh and rxed atmosphere outside. It was infinitely more
After taking a deep breath, she heard the sound of documents falling to the ground from inside and
smiled in delight.
Of course, he had hidden intentions behind giving me that vi. She did not know whether his old age
was making him lose his temper more easily, but since he had informed her of the value of Hilliville, she
now knew which path to move forward in.
After leaving his office, she returned to her own office and quickly pulled out thetest economic news
rting to Bradfort City. As expected, Hart Group officially announced the purchase of sixty percent of
Hilliville’s real estate and had begun making drastic transformations to thend—attracting
businessmen and selling houses.
The Hart Group always caused a frenzy effect wherever they went. Aside from various major media
sources fighting to report the news, economic schrs were also predicting that Hilliville woulde to
life again under Hart Group and even go on to be another small center in Bradfort City. With the
addition of the few great families in Bradfort City such as the Renaud Family, Windrow Family, Samson
Family, and Moss Family, their influence would be vast. This alone would take up the news for the first
half of the year.
Myra thought, Now I know why Cameron wanted thatnd.
The corner of her lips slowly curled up. As she stared at the name ‘Hart Group’ in the article, her eyes
filled with tenderness.
She was not sure if he did all of this for her, but she was indeed the biggest beneficiary.
Myra was not a stubborn person. She was truly moved and happy because of Tony’s actions. He must
be the person to bring magic into my life. Suddenly, she really wanted to see him.
After she turned off herputer, she grabbed her purse and headed toward the basement parking lot.
Coming out of the elevator, she saw Kris walking toward that red sports car of hers in a coquettish
manner with her back arched.
Kris sneered at Myra when she saw her. She sat inside the car with that sneer on her face then quickly
drove off.
Myra did not take it personally either. She quickly got into her own car and drove to Bradfort University.
The conference at Bradfort University ended very soon. Sean had mostly spent thetter half of it
smoking outside.
When the principal saw him from the back, he quickly said a word to Tony then headed outside.
The principal still felt a sense of pride and nostalgia with Sean.
After all, Sean was a social elite who graduated from his school.
Arriving in front of Sean, the principal asked amiably, “Sean, why didn’t youe to school with Myra
today? I sent her an invitation as well.”
