Chapter 290


    As they were standing right at the entrance of Ritz Carlton, it was only natural to have countless pairs


    of eyes watching them at that moment.


    Just as Myra almost died of embarrassment, a pair of hands took her into his embrace and led her into


    the hall. Throughout all this, the man did not forget to nce at the crowd before them with a slight


    smile. “Thank you all for attending my banquet at the Ritz Carlton. I hope that all of you will enjoy


    yourselves tonight,” Tony announced in a calm voice, as if kissing a woman in front of the crowd was


    no big deal. He then chivalrously led Myra toward the center of the hall.


    The next instant, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.


    Recently, the fiancée of the Hart Family’s sessor had caused quite a stir in Bradfort City and


    became the source of gossip and scandal, especially her entanglement with the sessor of the


    Chase Group, Sean Chase, as well as her rtionship with the man who was standing before them


    now. Their rtionship—which could be regarded as a love triangle—was known to all, and it added


    some vor to the banquet tonight; other than the regr conversations between the businessmen and


    celebrities, the guests, especially the female ones, had something interesting to gossip about.


    The gossip was born from their jealousy, envy, or even frustration toward her, and some of them were


    purely enjoying the show from the sidelines. Upon seeing Myra, everyone had different thoughts.


    Some time ago, when the media revealed that Tony and Myra were getting married, some were of the


    opinion that the news might be merely a rumor. However, when Tony kissed Myra in public, his actions


    made everyone realize that it was indeed the truth and the couple’s wedding would most probably be


    just around the corner.


    “Director Hart, this is…” a bold guest casually asked while pretending to strike a conversation.


    “Let me introduce her to you—this is Myra Stark, my fiancée.” Tony openly introduced her identity to the


    person who asked about her without any hesitation. Then, he looked at Myra. “Myra, this is Director


    Jenkins, the director of the Jenkins Group; the Hart Group has a lot of business dealings with his


    Myra smiled at him politely. “Hello, Director Jenkins.”


    “Hello.” Director Jenkins, who had good social etiquette, concealed the shocked look in his eyes and


    grinned as he looked at Tony. “Director Hart, your fiancée is really gentle and beautiful, and I heard that


    Miss Stark is an outstanding designer as well. The both of you are a good match, Director Hart. It

    seems like I have to congratte the two of you on your uing wedding.”


    “Thank you. I won’t forget to invite you to my wedding when the timees, Director Jenkins.”


    Although the smile by Tony’s lips was light, everyone was able to tell that he was in a pleasant mood


    today, which made them shootplex looks at the woman beside him. It waspletely out of


    everyone’s expectations that Tony would end up marrying that woman.


    The families, who had had the intention to have their daughters marry into the Hart Family, all shook


    their heads in resignation at that moment.


    Tony and Myra greeted the guests one after another while exchanging pleasantries with them. Soon


    after, they arrived at the center of the hall, where all the members of the Hart Family had gathered;


    even Elliot, Philip, and Lucas were waiting for them there.


    Upon seeing the blushing Myra, Elliot winked at her. “Myra, did you notice how half of the women in the


    hall looked at you? Their gazes were filled with envy, jealousy and resentment!”


    Sure enough, the hearts of the women, who attended the banquet while holding onto thest shred of


    hope, were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment upon seeing how affectionate Tony was toward


    Myra. It was totally beyond their expectations that a cold man like Tony would introduce Myra as his


    fiancée, his tone all the while filled with his affection toward her.


    Myra red at Tony before she turned to look at the two elders of the Hart Family. “Old Master Hart,


    Old Madam Hart,” she greeted politely.


    Lisa nodded calmly while Sebastian let out a quiet snort. “You guys sure are early.”


    Upon hearing that, Myra was speechless. I remember Tony said that it was Sebastian himself who


    asked us toe at this exact moment.


    However, she was used to Sebastian always saying things that he did not mean, so she immediately


    smiled apologetically. “I apologise for that; we wille earlier next time.”


    Sebastian once again appraised her from head to toe before he frowned and pouted. “We have been


    preparing nutritious meals for you every daytely, but why are you still so skinny? Tell me the truth—


    did you throw away all the food?”


    Myra felt helpless upon hearing that. “No! I made sure to finish everything that had been sent over to


    me.”


    It was only then did Sebastian nod in satisfaction. “You are more obedient than Tony.”


    After saying that, he cast a disapproving nce at his grandson. If this grandson of mine is as obedient


    as his fiancée, I won’t have to worry for him all the time!


    However, since Lisa had warned him in advance not to kick up a fuss at his grandson’s banquet, he did


    not say much.


    The banquet soon began.


    The main character of the birthday banquet, as well as his family members, naturally would have to


    greet and tend to the guests.


    Therefore, the atmosphere in the banquet was rather peaceful for a while.


    Elliot and the two others helped to entertain the guests as well.


    Although Myra could not hold her drink, she still had to more or less drink a little at an asion like


    today. Fortunately, due to the Hart Family’s status and position, nobody dared to put her on the spot


    and Tony also drank a few sses on her behalf, so she really did not drink much.


    After one round of pleasantries, she seemed a little exhausted. Tony held her waist and asked in a


    whisper, “Are you tired?”


    “I’m fine.” She shook her head, not wanting to give him trouble on a formal asion like this.


    Nevertheless, she obviously had underestimated his protectiveness over her. With an arm wrapped


    around her waist, he led her toward the rest area with a domineering attitude that allowed no room for


    rejection. “Take a rest. We have greeted everyone once, and Grandpa and the others will continue to


    handle the guests.”


    And so, Myra had no choice but to follow Tony to the rest area.


    What they did not notice was that a group of people entered the hall at that moment.


    The Walton Family waste because Old Master Walton and Gideon and Gemma’s parents had just


    arrived at Bradfort City. Therefore, they did not know about the incident that happened earlier.


    The moment they entered the hall, the group of people naturally spotted the woman, who was sitting


    next to Tony, at the rest area.


    “Gemma, is that the Young Lady of the Stark Family that you mentioned?” Old Master Walton struck his


    cane on the floor. When he saw Tony hugging a strange woman intimately, his expression instantly fell.


    Gemma, who also saw how affectionate Tony and Myra were together, clenched her fists tightly and


    replied with a long face, “It’s her, Grandpa.”


    “Hmph! She is merely a pretentious vixen! I wonder if Tony is blind; otherwise, why is he not interested


    in Gemma, but instead is cherishing a piece of trash instead? Today, I thought that the Hart Family


    would at least send someone to pick us up at the airport, but it turned out that they were nowhere to be


    seen—”


    “Mom—” Shelly was interrupted by Gideon before she could finish grumbling. When he noticed the


    guests around them were eavesdropping on their conversation, he narrowed his eyes and muttered,


    “Mom, the Hart Family is busy today so it’s only natural for them to miss a thing or two.”


    “You are his best friend! Tony’s action shows that he does not hold you in high regard. In fact, he


    wouldn’t have been able to make his Hartwell Group a sess without your help back then!” It was


    obvious that Shelly had been holding a grudge over that incident. “In the end, he only gave you 10% of


    the Hartwell Group’s share! Looks like he really doesn’t take the Walton Family seriously!”


    “Shut up! We are here at Bradfort City to seek the help of the Hart Family.” Samuel quietly admonished


    her with his brows knitted. That statement finally silenced her but her eyes were filled with


    dissatisfaction.


    “Let’s go over there. Let me see how the Hart Family is going to give us an exnation.” Old Master


    Walton pulled a long face because Walton Group’s products were not selling well in Bradfort City as


    nned. This time, the entire Walton Family returned to Bradfort City in advance solely to deal with this


    matter.
