Chapter 212
Kris had a high standard for men. At that moment, she felt that not many men were worthy of her
except for Tony.
However, it did not stop her from having fun with other men, but at the same time, she knew that those
men could only provide her with temporary happiness as they weren’t her choice of marriage partner.
In the past, if this man were to openly hold her in his arms at thepany, her face would have turned
cold at the start. However, her heart today was filled with many grievances and rage. Furthermore, it so
happened that Cameron and Rachel did notfort her after the incident, but instead, they made her
feelings worse, which was why the man’s actions felt a little warmer to her, especially the concern in his
eyes for her without even asking a question…
“What else could it be? Other than Myra, who else would do this to me…” Her eyes started to turn red
as tears rolled down her face.
Hayden felt distressed and angry at the same time as he tightened his arms around Kris. “How dare
she hit you! Didn’t you say that you have a n to kick her out of the Stark Group? How did you allow
her to take advantage of you?” Seeing the slight change in Kris’ expression, he patted her back.
“Alright. She must have used some despicable trick! Kris, don’t be upset. Myra is just a woman who
was abandoned by Sean. Besides, your father doesn’t even like her and he hates hering back to
the Stark Group. One day, you’ll be able to kick her out of thepany! My Kris is always the best!”
The mannded a soft kiss on her forehead as he gentlyforted her.
Kris felt that among the men that she had dated before, it was not a surprise that she liked Hayden the
most.
Since he was second in line to the Fuller Corporation, he had quite a good background. Even though
he wasn’t the direct heir to thepany, she still wished to hear more of hisforting words
whenever she was in an angry mood.
Then, she turned andnded a kiss on Hayden’s thin lips as a reward.
Unexpectedly, the moment shended her kiss, Hayden’s eyes immediately darkened as he pressed
her against the back of the door. Then, he lowered his head and tried to suck all the sweetness from
her lips vigorously.
His body was strong, but it wasn’t that muscr. As his burning hot body leaned on Kris, it quickly
made her lose her mind a little. Suddenly, the thin lips were withdrawn, but soon after, it was back
again and this time, it came with an object with a somewhat rough texture.
At first, Kris was startled as she took a look at the ne Hayden gave her using his mouth.
Instantly, her eyes lit up.
It was the True Love diamond that she liked a lot when she saw it at an auction in New York some time
ago. At that time, she simply mentioned it to him, but because the price was too expensive and she
didn’t have much time on her schedule, she ended up missing the auction. However, she didn’t expect
him to buy it for her.
Kris’ face was filled with surprise and joy. “Hayden, didn’t you say that you are short of cash recently?
Did your brother allow you to invest the funds in loose stocks? Where did you get the money to buy
this…”
The light in Hayden’s eyes flickered inexplicably as he immediately carried her in her arms and walked
toward the couch. “Baby, I can give up everything for you.”
Kris was familiar with the warmth in his eyes, but now that she was in a good mood and she just
received a gift that she really liked, she did not mind to satisfy the man in front of her.
After that, Hayden was considerate enough to give her some birth control pills. He promised that he
wouldn’t put her in a difficult situation by impregnating her before deciding to marry her.
In Kris’ heart, she felt a little pity. If only this man is Tony. If that’s the case, I wouldn’t be upset and
angry.
However, as soon as she thought of Tony, she couldn’t help but think of that woman—Myra!
Hayden is right. One day, I’ll kick her out of the Stark Group myself, but now, I must bear with it!
When Myra found out that Rachel was inviting her to the Stark Residence for a meal, she couldn’t help
but feel ironic, especially when she realized that the person sent to invite her was Kris. Not only that,
she even apologized to Myra herself even though there weren’t any emotions on her face.
However, Myra epted their invitation this time.
She felt that Rachel wouldn’t be kind enough to invite her over for a meal, but since she did so, she
wanted to see what other tricks the woman had for her. Other than that, she also wanted to confirm
whether Rachel was really pregnant or not. Since I’m going to the Stark Residence tonight, I’ll probably
not leave.
However, after thinking about it, Myra packed her stuff as she nned to go to the Hart Group to have
lunch with the man.
When she went downstairs, it just happened to be the peak time for lunch. Therefore, many people
were talking about Thomas in the elevator.
“Did you hear about it? Mr. Hughes was reported today for corruption and bribery. Now, he has loads of
charges stacked against him, so he has been dismissed from his position for further investigation. Tsk.
To be honest, several projects in ourpany were approved by him. I wonder if it would affect us.”
“Even if it does, it has nothing to do with staff like us.” Another person joined the conversation.
“I also heard that Mr. Hughes was beaten up into a pulp after offending someone. All of his limbs are
now broken, but people like him deserve it! How dare he use our taxes to support his own mistress! He
always looked like a gentleman to me in the past, so I didn’t expect him to be involved in such filth!
Serves him right!”
The crowd obviously did not notice Myra, so the discussion became more intense.
When Myra heard that several projects in the Stark Group were rted to Thomas, she couldn’t help
but furrow her brows slightly. However, when she heard that he was beaten up to a pulp, she was left
dumbfounded.
When Tilly and I met Mr. Hughes and his subordinatest night, his face still looked fine, which means
that he was beaten upst night?
As for the culprit who whacked him, she more or less knew who it was.
Immediately, she felt a sense of warmth in her heart. Whileing out of the elevator, she purposely
waited for everyone to head out first.
Then, she called a cab outside, but when she arrived at the lobby of the Hart Group, she started to feel
a little nervous.
It wasn’t easy to meet Tony in the Hart Group; otherwise, he would be annoyed to death given the
enormous amount of people wanting to meet him every day.
Luckily, she had Leo’s number, so she could give him a call first if she did not know whether Tony was
busy with his work.
Less than two minutes after the call ended, Leo appeared in front of Myra. For some reason, Myra
somehow felt that there was a hint of ttery in his eyes when he nced at her. Also, it was the way
Leo kept on addressing her…
“Mrs. Hart, Director Hart is still having his meeting in the meeting room, but he’ll be done soon. You can
rest in his office first. Mrs. Hart, have some lemon juice. Mrs. Hart, I’ll be in the room next door. Please
call me if you need any help.”
Cough!

Myra let out an awkward cough and halted Leo. “Mr. rk, I think you better call me ‘Miss Stark’ like
before.”
“Alright, Mrs. Hart.”
Instantly, she was rendered speechless.
Just as he was about to leave Tony’s office, Myra simply asked a question since she felt a bit bored
waiting here. “Mr. rk, has Director Hart… eaten his lunch today?”
Understanding what she was about to do afterward, Leo immediately shook his head. “No, he hasn’t. I
have too many matters to attend to, so I didn’t have the time to buy lunch for him downstairs today.”
The intention in his words was obvious as it made Myra even more nervous. “Then, I’ll go down to buy
for him.” After taking two steps, she turned. “Should I buy one for you too, Mr. rk?”
Instantly, Leo felt a thump in his heart. Is she joking? How can I have the same treatment as Director
Hart?!
He quickly shook his head. “I’m going out for lunch with my colleaguester.”
In the end, she nodded her head and went downstairs.
When Myra went upstairs earlier, everyone in the Hart Group saw how polite Leo was toward her. As
soon as she came down, thedy at the reception quickly gave her a bright smile. “Miss Stark, have a
good day.”
