Chapter 335
“What are you going to tell me now? That the video was not released by the Walton Family?” Sebastian
raged in a sharp tone without any consideration for Old Master Walton’s pride.
Thetter was so angry that his face flushed red in anger and at the same time, he was at a loss for
words. Apparently, they had found out that it was Gemma who released the video to the public, which
indicated that she had no intention to make peace with the Hart Family.
Before Old Master Walton could even say a word, Sebastian directly hung up the call and switched off
his phone.
Old Master Walton was so pissed that his chest heaved vigorously. After the call was hung up, he hit
his cane so hard on the floor that it snapped.
“Dad, how was it?” Samuel worriedly asked from the side.
“What else can have happened? Gemma has gotten herself in big trouble this time!” Old Master Walton
growled.
He did not expect that his granddaughter would kick up such a huge mess when they only took their
eyes off her for one second. The Hart Family had made themselves clear that they would not let the
Walton Family off the hook, so no matter what the Hart Family had in mind for them, they had no choice
but to face the difficulty head-on. Fortunately, the video that had been released now was to their
advantage, which means they had to make sure that everything was in hand before the Hart Family
started to take control of the situation.
Gideon’s initial n was to have the magazinepany take down the video and delete the article, but
Old Master Walton had something else in mind. “Put out word about the ident and say that Gemma
was frightened when Tony threatened to kill her, which was why she did the wrong thing in a fit of
mental confusion. Let the public know about her injuries too. We will portray her as a weakdy and
stress on the point that she was frightened. Also, describe the incident in a way that would make Tony’s
injuries seem as if it is nothing serious. All in all, we have to clear Gemma’s name and we must never
let the Hart Family take control of the situation.”
Old Master Hart pressed his thin lips together, his expression stern.
Mrs. Walton was frightened and she mumbled a question at him, “Does Gemma still have to leave
Bradfort City?”
“Is there even such a need? We basicallyunched a war with the Hart Family.” Sarcasm and
frustration spread across his face as he muttered, “This time, Gemma can only pray for her to survive
through this!”
A storm approached in the night. The Hart Family seemed as calm as usual, doing whatever they
usually do, while the Walton Family seemed to be sitting on pins and needles for fear that they would
miss out on anything. On the other hand, Gemma was happily reading the negative remarks made by
theizens about Tony, while Tony and Myra were quietly sleeping together in each other’s embrace.
The next morning, Sebastian woke up early in the morning. When he went downstairs, the
housekeeper immediately took notice that he had put on a formal suit today, and he looked fresh and
energetic.
She walked up to him. “Old Master Hart, I have prepared the soup and porridge that you instructed me
to makest night. I have ced them on the table in the dining room.”
He hummed in response. After having breakfast, he went to the hospital with Lisa to send two sets of
breakfast over.
…
Myra cleverly did not immediately go online to read the news when she woke up early in the morning,
as she knew the news must be filled with unpleasant curses that were targeted at Tony.
Sebastian and Lisa sent breakfast to them early in the morning, and Tony and Myra had a simple
breakfast. Today was the day Tony was going to be discharged from the hospital. As his recovery had
been going smoothly, he applied to continue his recovery away from hospital, and the hospital would
regrly send doctors and nurses over to him to check his condition.
Myra knew that he was going to return to thepany today, so she intended to follow along, while
Sebastian and Lisa tagged along as well.
When they left the hospital, the situation in reality was, in fact, slightly better than what she had
imagined.
Currently, there were many reporters piling at the entrance of the hospital. Before the few of them even
reached the lobby, the reporters seemed to have the urge to dash up to them, but they were stopped
by arge group of security guards who had been stationed outside to control the situation.
Nevertheless, Myra and the others were still able to hear the reporters’ questions through the rows of
security.
“Director Hart, what is your opinion on the video that was posted on the Intest night? Someone
used you of being violent and you almost strangled Miss Walton to death because of some
disagreement. Can you tell us if it is true?”
“Director Hart, it was said that the judiciary has intervened in this matter. Would you like to give a
“Director Hart, both you and Miss Walton were involved in a car ident that night. Rumor has it that
Miss Walton deliberately ran into your car; is this true?”
Due to the power and influence of the Hart Family, the reporters’ words were not too harsh to the ears.
One was an industry yer from another city, while the other one was a local yer—everyone was
able to tell which party had a stronger background between the Hart and Walton Family. Therefore,
before the truth was revealed, it would not be wise to offend the Hart Family.
Sebastian, Lisa, as well as Myra were beside Tony. Upon seeing that they would not be getting any
answers from him, they targeted the three of them instead.
“Miss Stark, someone pointed out that Director Hart and Miss Walton were a couple at first, but they

broke up because you came between them; is that true?” When Tony heard this question, an almost
unnoticeable frown appeared on his face and his gazended on Leo, who was standing off to one
side.
Leo adjusted his sses and nodded before calmly exining to the reporters, “Director Hart
understands that everyone is eager to know what happened recently. However, there are certain things
that are merely baseless rumors, so we hope that everyone won’t fall for them. Today, we will hold a
press conference at the Hart Group at 9.30 AM, and we hope that everyone will attend. We won’t be
entertaining anyone now, so please excuse us.”
The reporters were excited as they could sense that something big was about to be announced.
Nheless, the person-in-charge of ‘Weekly News’ was slightly anxious.
He had sided with the Walton Family at first. Although they had just arrived at Bradfort City, their
abilities should not be underestimated. Therefore, when they decided to acquire his magazine
magazinepany to promote their presence when they had just returned to Bradfort City. However,
when things came to this stage, he was able to tell that not only did the Walton Familypletely
offend the Hart Family, they were, in fact, no match for thetter as well. When he finally discovered
this, he was able to predict what would happen to hispany. Although the magazinepany had
been acquired by the Walton Family, it was still his life’s hard work and it would break his heart to see it
go down like this, but there was nothing he could do now.
Soon, the few people got into the car and headed off to Hart Group.
When they arrived at the office building, Tony entered the building with Myra following beside him.
They entered the lift, and Tony and Myra parted ways with Sebastian and Lisa. The two elders went
straight to the ce where the press conference would be held, while Myra returned to Tony’s office
with him.
He noticed the slight dark circles under her eyes and he knew that she had been unable to sleep well
everything ends, I wille and see you, alright?”
“No.” She shook her head and rejected his offer. After the incident, she was determined to stand by him
no matter what would happen.
Tony knew that he would not be able to persuade her otherwise when she was being stubborn, so he
just let her be.
After freshening up, the two of them headed over to the meeting room where the press conference had
already begun.
When Tony and Myra entered the room, the video that was ying on therge LCD screen happened
to reach the scene of the car ident.
Despite having seen the scene on Tony’s phonest night, she still felt a tightness in her chest when
she watched it again now. If Tony had not been able to react fast enough at that time, he might be
suffering from Gemma’s injuries now and he would not be able to be discharged so soon. Upon having
such thoughts, her gaze involuntarily darkened.
