Chapter 243


    If Gemma came to Bradfort City, does this mean that man is also here?


    L’s hand gave a strong jerk and the coffee cup in her hand almost crashed onto the table. The hot


    coffee sshed on the back of her hand, but she did not dare to make a sound.


    “What’s wrong? Are you finally remembering my brother now?” When L was together with her

    brother, Gemma had openly expressed her dissatisfaction toward the former. Obviously, she is just a


    b*tch who wants to use him to elevate her status. Sure enough, after leaving Gideon, she came to


    Bradfort City to seduce Tony. No wonder I didn’t hear from her when I was in the States for so long. It


    turns out that she has returned to Bradfort City.


    Gemma remembered the woman who dared to sit in Tony’s car on the first night. After thinking that


    many women had their eyes on Tony, the fury within her had no other outlet, so she merely red at


    L fiercely. “Don’t worry; my brother has not returned to Bradfort City yet, but he’s going to be back


    soon.” She chuckled coldly. “L, you seeked for another man behind his back. What do you think he


    will do?”


    L had no idea about this. However, she recalled the phone call from Gideon a while ago. He’s also


    returning to Bradfort City soon. If he knows that I’m already married to Sean, what will he do?


    The people from the Walton Family are nuts! ording to normal social conventions, I’ve already


    broken up with Gideon but to him, even if he doesn’t want me anymore, I’m forbidden to be with


    another man!


    Thinking back to the reason she came to seek Tony out today, L clenched her fists tightly.


    She had no way out anymore. At this moment, she could only ask for Tony’s help.


    Even though Gemma had been provoking her, she stayed quiet all this while. After a while of this,


    Gemma had finally vented all her anger. Seeing that L had no intention to reply to her, Gemma could


    not be bothered with L any longer.


    Soon, the phone of the front desk rang. The employee picked it up, and she kept nodding and saying


    ‘okay’ with a respectful and gentle expression on her face. After hanging up, she walked to the both of


    them.


    Gemma’s eyes lit up immediately. “Tony… Director Hart has returned?”


    The front desk employee nodded and spoke to both of them politely. “Director Hart is back, but…”


    Under Gemma’s expectant look, the employee turned to L. “Miss Fisher, Mr. rk said that he’s


    waiting for you upstairs.”


    The front desk employee was no stranger to L, so there was a hint of disdain in her eyes when she


    looked at her. Nevertheless, she continued to be respectful to her.


    L was in no mood to bother about that. After hearing what the front desk employee said, she


    immediately stood up and rushed to the elevator. However, when she got up, Gemma pulled her back


    with a huge force and grabbed her wrist tightly. With a dark expression, she asked, “Are you sure that


    Director Hart asked for her and not me?”


    The front desk employee was shocked to see this, but she nodded and replied after a pause, “Yes.”


    Smack!


    Gemma suddenly pped L hard on the face.


    Taken aback, L turned around and looked at Gemma incredulously after being pped. “What the


    hell are you doing?”


    “I’m teaching you how to recognize your own status!” Gemma red at L fixedly, obviously thinking


    that thetter was the woman who seduced Tony.


    Perhaps the woman in his car yesterday was her!


    “L, if you dare to go upstairs to meet him, you know the consequences.” A look of malice and


    warning was clear in Gemma’s eyes.


    L’s body trembled slightly; she knew that Gemma had misunderstood the rtionship between


    herself and Tony. Even though she initially nned to tolerate Gemma’s actions, she could not tolerate


    it anymore after thetter pped her.


    When L was with Gideon, Gemma often bullied her and gave her a hard time.


    She likes Tony too, but I already know the woman Tony loves at this moment! Seeing that Gemma can’t


    even go to Tony’s office right now, it’s clear that he doesn’t want to see her!


    “Miss Walton, Director Hart doesn’t like me so you don’t have to waste your efforts to attack me. After


    his return to Bradfort City, he already has a woman he loves deeply and based on what I know, the


    woman is not you.” Seeing Gemma’s fury, a surge of satisfaction rose within L. She knew Gemma’s


    character well—soon enough, Gemma would find out about Myra, and she would definitely not tolerate


    her. Of course, Tony would then give Gemma a hard time too.


    “Excuse me, Miss Walton. Director Hart is waiting for me, so I shall not waste my time here.”


    With that, L walked directly to the elevator.


    Gemma was so angry that her chest heaved up and down heavily. She did not expect a woman without


    any status and who only knew a little bit of piano to dare speak to her in such a tone.


    Tony’s beloved woman?


    I will find out who she is and make her regret staying with him!


    After seeing L getting into the elevator, Gemma followed behind her, wanting to enter the elevator


    with her as well. However, the front desk employee stopped her.


    “I’m sorry, Miss Walton, but Director Hart did not ask for you.”


    “Scram!” Gemma’s wild temperament was developed because she was spoiled by the Walton Family. It


    was already her limit to tolerate everything up to this point. She wanted to push the employee, but she


    was not aware that two bulky guards stood behind her at this point. ring at her in an unfriendly


    manner, one of them said, “Miss Walton, you are not weed here at the Hart Group. Please leave.”


    Gemma felt embarrassed because of this. Seeing the elevator doors slowly closing, she hated L and


    the other woman, whom she did not know yet. Then, she turned around and walked out of Hart Group


    in her high heels angrily.


    As soon as she walked out of the building, she quickly called a number. Soon, the person on the other


    end of the line picked up the call. “Gideon, guess who I just saw?” Gemma muttered in a displeased


    tone.


    After L entered the elevator, she did not feel pleased that she had embarrassed Gemma this time.


    She had not forgotten the reason she came here today.


    She was already in despair when they were in the Ritz Carlton earlier. Unexpectedly, after she left the


    hotel, Tony sent her a message asking her toe to the Hart Group.


    Does this mean that he’s willing to talk to me?


    However, L did not expect things to be so simple.


    Feeling nervous, she bit her lip when she recalled Gideon, the terrifying man.


    Then, she walked out of the elevator. Before marrying Sean, she hade to Tony’s office countless


    times and now, it was familiar yet unfamiliar to her at the same time.


    After walking to Tony’s office, L knocked on the door. When she heard a cold voice asking her to


    enter, she walked into the room, feeling utterly exhausted.


    After she entered Tony’s office, she closed the door and walked over to him step by step. “Director


    Hart, you are finally willing to talk to me in private. Does this mean that you agree to help me with my


    current predicament?”


    The office was shrouded in a thinyer of smoke at this moment. Sitting behind the office table, Tony


    had an indifferent expression on his face as he held a cigarette between his slender fingers. He took a


    deep puff before he slowly breathed out the smoke, his posture elegant yet domineering at the same


    time.


    Even though his expression was impassive, L felt a chill run down her spine. Looking at his


    handsome face that she had fallen in love with in the past, L did not have any other feelings toward


    him at this moment.
