Chapter 201


    L didn’t end up letting Sean send her home. She put on a considerate front as she told him that she


    understood he was quite busy with work, so she didn’t want him to rush around and tire himself. When


    Sean heard that, his heart softened. He gave her a kiss and escorted her to a waiting taxi while telling


    her to be careful. He then watched the taxi drive off before turning around to look at Stark Tower.


    Myra has changed so drastically and I sure didn’t expect that. I thought that she would remain steadfast


    in her love for me despite how I’ve hurt her. Turns out that all her affections were only an act. In fact,


    she probably never did love me as deeply as she portrayed.


    Aftering to the realization, Sean clenched both fists tightly and he gave ast look at Stark Tower


    with his dark, brooding eyes before he turned around and left.


    Meanwhile, L did not make her way home after parting ways with Sean.


    As soon as the driver drove a slight distance away, she looked at the driver as she bit on her lower lip


    and requested, “Excuse me, sir—please send me to the Hart Group.”


    Without any hesitation, the driver turned the car around and headed in the opposite direction.


    Along the way, L was lost in her thoughts as she tried to reconcile the situation. In fact, she felt quite


    anxious and fearful. It was as if she was stuck in a bottomless pit and while everything seemed quite


    calm and peaceful, it was all just an appearance.


    At this moment, she was reminded of the day that Sean and Myra signed their divorce papers. As soon


    as Myra exited the Civil Affair Bureau, she had gone into a ck sports car. I didn’t see the face of the


    person in the car back then, but I remember feeling quite intimidated by him. All I knew is that I


    shouldn’t mess with the guy, for he’s not someone I can take onn.


    Afterwards, I thought it was just an act put on by Myra. Since she had lost Sean to me, in order to


    tter her ego, she must have hired an actor to show me that she wasn’t such a loser after all.


    However,e to think of it, she was being quite secretive that day. If it was all an act, then she should


    by right have unted it in our faces to achieve her goal.


    Besides, there’s another strange thing—after I got married to Sean and after the incident where Tony


    helped settle thend issue with the Chase Group’s Hilliville Project, I can’t seem to get hold of Tony


    anymore. Somehow, without even knowing the reason, my career was totally ruined. As for the Hilliville


    Project, it’s doing so well right now. Coincidentally, Myra holds 40% of the property under that project…


    Coupled with Sean’s words earlier and Sebastian’s reaction…


    At the moment, L had all the pieces in her mind and she was trying hard to link everything together.


    However, there seemed to be a missing piece and this troubled her a lot. While she exited the car, her


    fingers were tightly clenched into a fist, her fingernails piercing deep into her flesh.


    “Miss, here’s your change. Hey, Miss—” L could hear the driver yelling at her from behind, but she


    did not have the energy to deal with him. She simply walked toward the Hart Group without a backward


    nce.


    The Hart Group’s building is quite an impressive skyscraper with its stately height. In fact, I actually


    wanted to go after Tony in the first ce, but he was too aloof and mysterious for my liking. As such,


    when he came to me and handed me the option of assisting me to marry Sean, I changed my mind and


    went after him instead. Come to think of it, why was Tony so eager to help me then? Perhaps it was


    because he wanted to take over the Hilliville Project at a minimal cost? I can’t seem to get my head

    around this but something seems off here.


    “I’m sorry, Miss Fisher. Mr. rk says that Director Hart is currently upied. He’s not avable to see


    anyone.” The receptionist at the front desk spoke to L politely, but she was being quite firm as well.


    There are so many women like her whoe here every single day, and all of them would like to see


    Director Hart. Apparently, Miss Fisher here has just got married to Director Chase from the Chase


    Group, so why is she here to see Director Hart?


    Without showing it, L gritted her teeth so tightly that pain shot through her gums.


    She kept her eyes on the receptionist and replied in a deep voice, “Please inform Mr. rk that I’m


    here regarding Myra Stark.”


    Upon hearing her words, the receptionist was significantly stunned and at the same time, she noticed


    that L’s expression wasn’t quite right. Contemting this, she clicked on the inte once more


    and repeated L’s words to the person on the other end. Soon after that, Leo gave his reply, which


    was quite surprising to her. As soon as she hung up, she said to L in an impassive tone, “Miss


    Fisher, Mr. rk is ready to see you upstairs.”


    Without even waiting for the receptionist to finish her words, L spun around and strode toward the


    elevator.


    I was just trying my luck there in mentioning Myra’s name. Surprisingly, that worked and I’m now


    allowed to go upstairs.


    Myra… Myra Stark…


    Suddenly, L felt the world turn dark in front of her eyes. In fact, everything made sense to her now—


    for example, Sebastian’s reaction and how he sided with Myra. That must have been because the guy


    who was with Myra was actually Tony.


    At this point, L felt as if there was a ball of emotion careening around her chest uncontrobly, and


    her whole being was clouded over by a thin veil of darkened mist. She had never experienced such a


    sensation before.


    “Miss Fisher.”


    As soon as the doors to the elevator slid open, she saw Leo standing at the entrance waiting for her, a


    faint smile on his face. He looked at his watch as hemented in a slightly mocking tone, “Director


    Hart has ten minutes for you.”


    Without giving Leo the chance to lead the way, L gripped both her hands tightly as she strode into


    Tony’s office without a second nce at Leo. Before this, she would always make sure to check her


    appearance before entering this room; on this day, however, she wasn’t in the mood to do so.


    The door to Tony’s office was slightly ajar as L walked toward it. Without giving much consideration


    whether to knock on the door or not, she forcefully pushed the door open and made her way inside.


    Upon entering the room, she noticed that Tony was standing by the full-length windows behind his work


    desk, and he had his back to her. His tall, strapping body fitted perfectly in his custom-made Italian suit.


    That being said, he managed to maintain a low profile despite his charming edge. However, it was hard


    to mask his dominance and indifference as it was evidently shown in every move he made.


    Tony had one hand in his pocket and the other was holding onto a cigarette between his middle and


    index finger. He didn’t take a puff; instead, he held onto it while allowing it to continue burning. As soon


    as he heard footsteps, he gave a quick flick to the cigarette and then turned around gradually. “Miss


    Fisher, what is it regarding Myra that you wish to discuss with me?”


    His perfectly handsome face was currently devoid of expression and his eyes were icy cold.


    Despite being aware that she could never win the heart of this man in front of her, L could always


    feel her heart beating wildly for him every time she saw him. Nevertheless, she didn’t forget her


    purpose ofing here today, hence she tried her best to suppress her infatuation. She took a deep


    breath to calm herself down before saying, “Director Hart, I would like to know why I was cklisted


    previously.”


    It was as if Tony had expected this question from her. He looked at her with an indifferent expression as


    he replied, “I felt like it, so I did it. I don’t need a reason for that, do I?”


    L was close to exploding in anger and she gritted her teeth tightly. Although Tony wasn’t exactly on


    friendly terms with her before her marriage to Sean, he wasn’t as hostile to her previously. Her hands


    fisted and she said with her voice lowered, “Director Hart, I suppose you remember that you gave me a


    stack of photos thest time I came here, yes?”


    That stack of photos was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Myra and Sean’s disagreement had


    strongly intensified after that.


    How ironic! I thought Tony loathed Myra and wanted to ruin her life. However, soon after that, the two of


    them got together! He must have been attracted to her all this while for him to resort to such a scheme


    to break up her marriage.


    As soon as L realized this, her body immediately froze in ce.


    That’s right—helping me get into the Chase Family would mean that Myra would be thrown out from


    there. As such, him helping me was actually helping himself im Myra for his own. After I married


    Sean, Tony then cklisted me and severed all ties.
