Chapter 245


    Why did Seane here? Why is he here… coincidentally at this moment?


    Meanwhile, L clenched her fists tightly.


    Sean…” She forced a smile as she murmured, “Why are you here? Do you have a business discussion


    with the Hart Group?”


    Sean merely looked straight ahead at the road in front of him, as though he had not heard L’s


    question. He drove at such a speed that L saw the traffic police signaled him to slow down, but he


    ignored them.


    Both her hands, which were ced on her knees, were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned


    white.


    “Sean—”


    The car suddenly came to an abrupt stop with a loud screech. Sean had stepped on the brakes


    furiously, stopping his car on the roadside as he interrupted L, “Why were you at the Hart Group?”


    Earlier at the Ritz Carlton, Sean saw L going to Tony from afar.


    Just as he was going to walk over to them, he heard L asking Tony to help her.


    The countless incidents that had happened before this were quite confusing and messy, so Sean had


    forgotten about one fact—the properties in Hilliville that belonged to the Chase Group were sold off with


    L’s help. At this moment, he was quite certain that the person who bought all the properties was


    Tony.


    L said that she has some connections with the Hart Family. Just how deep does this connection run?


    Tony wasn’t someone to be messed around with and he would not buy the properties from the Chase


    Group without any reason. After all, it was a tough job to expand Hilliville. Even if he really wanted to do


    that, he would be better off epting another project. Hence, he must have his own motives for doing


    so. Is his end goal… Myra?


    After thinking about it, Sean’s face darkened. When he saw the few of them leaving, he could not help


    but drive behind them and follow L.


    After waiting at the Hart Group for a long time, he finally saw L walking out. The moment he saw her


    slowly walking out, he suddenly felt as though he did not know the woman in front of him.


    Just how many secrets is she keeping from me?


    “L, the client whom you mentionedst time, the one who bought Hilliville… He is Tony Hart, isn’t


    he?”


    Sean suddenly turned around and red at L fiercely. Even though his breathing quickened, his


    gaze was stern.


    After receiving such a fierce re from Sean, L’s heart palpitated fiercely once again, even though


    she had calmed herself down after much effort just now. Her hands trembled slightly as she bit her lip.


    “Why are you asking about this, Sean? Didn’t I tell you that I didn’t know the client myself? Someone


    rmended him to me—”


    “Who rmended him?” Sean’s eyes were almond-shaped. When his eyes narrowed and he looked


    at someone, one would feel like they were his prey who could no longer escape.


    L’s heart sank. Even though she tried to keep calm on the surface, she knew that Sean probably


    knew something about what she had done today, so she clenched her fists. “The Hart Group, of


    course. Didn’t I tell you that I have connections in the Hart Group? However, since they have always


    been keeping a low profile, I didn’t see the need to mention them. All we needed was just to sell


    Hilliville off at that time, wasn’t it?”


    Wasn’t it? Indeed


    At that time, the Chase Group was in a financial crisis from various aspects. It was a great help to them


    that they could sell that piece ofnd.


    However, Sean knew that things were not that simple.


    How much does Myra know?


    Grabbing the steering wheel tightly, Sean had a dark look in his eyes.


    “Sean, do you have anything on in the afternoon? If not, can you send me home? I’m quite tired now.”


    Seeing that he remained silent, L thought that the crisis was over this time.


    However, Sean suddenly raised his head and looked at her. “Why did you meet Tony today? What


    favor are you asking from him?”


    L’s heart skipped a beat. “Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if he could take back the cancetion


    of my advertisement opportunity. I know that you are busy now, Sean, and I don’t want to be a burden


    to you, which is why I want to get back to work. Let’s work hard together for our family, shall we?”


    Sean suddenly snorted outughing, but there was not a trace of humor in his eyes. “L, I thought


    you had connections with the Hart Group and Tony? Why did they suddenly cancel your advertisement


    and all future job opportunities, and stopped your journey to being a celebrity in Bradfort City?”


    L clenched her fists tightly but there was a resentful and morose expression on her face. “Sean, you


    know that Tony is with Myra now; of course she doesn’t want me to have a good life. In the past, I did


    have a good rtionship with the Hart Group, but now… You clearly saw it yourself today that Tony has


    no intention to talk to me. Sean, even before you divorced Myra, she was definitely hooking up with


    Tony already. Otherwise, why would Tony suddenly change his attitude toward me? I know you have


    been Myra’s husband for two years and if you want to defend her, Sean, I don’t me you. I just… I


    don’t want you to be fooled by her.”


    With that, tears immediately welled up in L’s eyes.


    Throughout her whole speech, Sean remained indifferent. “L, what you have just told me… Is it true?


    Are you lying to me?”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    “Why would I lie?” The ominous feeling that L had increased. She pursed her lips as she put on an


    even more resentful expression. “Sean, I don’t expect Tony to let me off the hook now. Today, he


    already stated that he will not help me. Honestly, I’ve already expected this oue but I just wanted


    to have closure.”


    Sean did not utter another word and quickly started the engine as he drove away.


    Throughout their journey, L merely felt nervous and anxious.


    Even though Tony decided to help her to strengthen her position in the Chase Family, he was doing this


    for his own good. After recalling the suspicions that Sean had, L could not stop thinking about


    Sean’s feelings towards Myra.


    L could tell that Sean was gradually bing colder to herself; the intimacy and love between them


    was dwindling. Since some time ago, they felt like strangers when they faced each other.


    She clenched her fists tightly.


    Soon, they reached the Chase Residence and L got out of the car slowly. Just as she was about to


    turn around to bid farewell to him, the car immediately made a turn and drove away even before she


    could open her mouth.


    “Sean…” Looking at the leaving car fixedly, L’s heart turned colder.


    Not far from her in the Lamborghini that was slowly driving away, Sean picked up the phone that had


    been vibrating since just now. Soon, a low voice rang out from the other end. “Director Chase, I’ve


    looked it up for you. A month ago, Miss Fisher did go to the Hart Group around once or twice per week.


    She seemed to have a good rtionship with Director Hart until a month ago, when the Hart Group


    suddenly announced the canction of her endorsement for the Sunny Bay Project. Apart from that,


    they also said that they refuse to work with her from now onward—”


    Sean hung up with a dark and mysterious look on his face.


    After an entire afternoon of meetings, Myra checked her phone as soon as she walked out of the


    conference room. Unexpectedly, there were many missed calls from the same caller.


    Looking at the unfamiliar phone number, she frowned and called back. The other end picked up almost


    immediately. Then, Myra asked, “Hi, may I know who this is?”
