Chapter 269


    Eve was all too familiar with Myra. Even though her face was blurred, her silhouette and status were


    depicted clearly. How could Eve not know who the woman in the news report was?


    Because the Chase Family was ripped off by Myra when she and Sean got divorced, Eve’s impression


    of her turned negative. Nheless, it did not stop her from having positive feelings toward her again


    after finding out about Myra’s present value. In the times when she loathed L, she felt like she could


    still ept Myra if she and Sean started seeing each other again.


    Since Eve had been upied with Elsie’s pregnancy, she did not hear about Myra and Tony’s


    rtionship. As far as she knew, there were rumors surrounding Myra and Tony, or more urately, of


    Myra and many other men.


    In her opinion, as long as Sean persuaded Myra, she would be willing to return to the Chase Family


    because of how much she loved Sean. Therefore, the scandal that broke out in the entertainment news


    was like a p in the face to her. Myra cheated on Sean with another man. On top of that, the sight of


    her disheveled appearance only made Eve’s eyes fill with indignation.


    “Eve, is that Myra? People in thements are saying it’s her. Tsk, tsk. I didn’t know she was this kind


    of woman! It’s a good thing your son divorced her! Getting caught up with a woman like her would be a


    disgrace to the entire family!”


    Eve grew paler. She no longer wanted to continue with the spa. After giving an excuse that something


    urgent hade up, she rushed out of the clubhouse and went straight to Chase Group.


    These days, she undoubtedly felt that Sean’s animosity toward L grew even more. Late in the night


    one time, Eve noticed the lights in Sean’s study still on and decided to make a ss of milk for him.


    When she arrived at his door, however, she saw him staring nkly at a ring. She had known Myra for


    two years, so she couldn’t have failed to recognize that ring. It was a ring Myra used to wear as a


    wedding ring. Even though Eve did not know how it ended up in Sean’s possession, seeing the absent-


    minded look he had, she had a feeling that he did have some feelings left for Myra, and the realization


    delighted her.


    She did not like Myra, but if she could use her for her own advantage this time, the Chase Family would


    be in a much better situation than they were in now.


    Moreover, she was starting to dislike L almost to the point of hatred now. If it weren’t for the Chase


    Family’s child she was carrying, Eve would have wanted Sean to divorce her quickly and go back to


    Myra.


    But, after seeing that video in the news, Eve only wanted to get rid of the lingering feelings Sean still


    had for Myra.


    She did not see Sean upon arriving at Chase Group. When Richard informed her that he had gone to


    Stark Group, the look on her face suddenly turned pale. Taking out her phone, she dialed Sean’s


    number right away.


    …


    After Myra ended the call, she turned her phone off with a bitter smile on her face. Thinking of


    Sebastian’s stern and cold tone over the phone earlier, she tightened her hands around her purse.


    She went to the underground parking lot, got in her car, and drove straight to the Hart Residence.


    After getting out of the car, she was surprised to see that it wasn’t Sebastian who was waiting for her


    outside, but Lisa.


    A look of surprise shed across Lisa’s eyes when she saw Myra getting out of the car alone, then she


    gave her a slight nod. “Sebastian is in his study.”


    Myra was nervous and scared during the drive. Upon hearing Lisa’s words, she only felt her palms start


    to sweat. “I’ll go in right away.”


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Outside the car, she took a deep breath and headed inside the vi.


    When she had just taken a couple of steps, she heard a calm voice from behind her. “Sebastian is just


    venting; don’t take it to heart.”


    Myra stiffened. Suddenly, she felt a tingling feeling in her nose, and her eyes also turned red.


    It had been a long time since shest felt that way. Although Lisa was always reserved around her, she


    always gave Myra warmth when she needed it the most.


    Turning around abruptly, Myra hugged Lisa from the back as Lisa was walking out and murmured,


    “Thank you. If you’ll let me, I would really like to call you Grandma.”


    Lisa was taken aback. There still wasn’t much emotion on her face, but her eyes turned gentler, and


    she patted Myra’s hand without saying a word.


    Myra let her go then turned around and headed inside the house.


    …


    The house was quiet at the moment. Neither Serena nor Henry was home. It also seemed like the


    housekeeper was sent away.


    As she was walking up the stairs, she felt herself tremble with fear.


    Despite only growing more nervous, she still arrived at the study very quickly.


    Gritting her teeth, she reached out and knocked on the door.


    There was no response. She tightened her hands and knocked once more.


    “Come in.”


    This time, she got an answer from the person inside, but she could hear the unpleasant and gloomy


    tone in his voice.


    Pushing the door open, she took a couple of steps inside before closing the door behind her.


    She took one step after the other toward the desk and was able to see the storm that was brewing in


    his expression. Her eyelids twitched. “Old Master Hart—”


    “Hmph!” A heavy interjection cut off Myra’s attempt to admit to her wrongdoings. In an instant, he


    tossed the paintbrush he was holding and smudged the painting he was working on. “Impudent brat!”


    he bellowed at her.


    She jumped with fright. Seeing the displeased expression on his face, she clenched her hands


    nervously and murmured, “I’m sorry.”


    “You’re sorry?” Suddenly, he lifted the paper in front of him and shook it in the air. “What’s the point of


    being sorry? Look at what you’ve both done! Yet I was told you two only met after your divorce! Myra,


    I’m not against you for being a divorcee. But if you were already involved with that impudent grandson


    of mine before you got divorced, aren’t the both of you just openly humiliating me?”


    “I’m sorry, Old Master Hart.” Myra’s face was slightly pale. “I did start seeing Tony after my divorce.


    What you saw in the video is actually a misunderstanding. Nothing happened between us that day…”


    “Do you two think I’m blind?”


    In the video, Myra’s clothes were disheveled, and both her face and ears were red. If she wanted to


    insist that nothing happened, no one including Sebastian would believe her.


    “Tell me. Did you develop feelings for him first or did he? My family has always been upright, but


    something like this happened today. All this time, you had many chances to exin to me, but you


    chose to stay silent. I’m very disappointed in you, Myra.”


    A deep frown grew between his brows.


    He had guessed that the both of them met before Myra’s divorce, but he still held onto the belief that


    their meeting was a fluke. After all, being involved in an affair was not a pleasant matter.
