Chapter 583
On the road, Myra kept thinking about the name ‘Matt’. It sounded very familiar, but she couldn’t
remember where she had heard it before.
“Matt? Matthias Locke?” she mumbled to herself, as though she had thought of someone, but she felt
like she was spewing nonsense.
At the time, she did not think that going to the cemetery was a wrong decision. She preferred to hear
some things from the relevant person themselves and not someone else’s retelling of it, especially
since she couldn’t be certain whether that person was telling the truth or not.
The suburbs were a bit colder than the city center, especially at the cemetery, where the spooky
dampness in the air was a lot heavier. Getting out of the car, Myra made sure to put on a thick coat.
Tony was right in telling her to put on moreyers earlier.
She first went to her mother’s grave, where that person would be meeting her. Even though Tony
exhorted to her that the driver must follow her, she still did not let the driver follow her to the grave.
Instead, she asked him to wait for her in the car and even asked him to keep an eye on his phone in
case she needed helpter.
Because the person she was meetingter was mysterious, she needed to take safety measures
beforehand. The driver was tall and strong; he also had some fighting skills.
If something went wrong, she could call for the driver right away. To clear Myra’s suspicions, that

person had informed her that a woman would be meeting her here.
It was for this reason that Myra wanted toe and take a look. After all, women were slightly weaker.
Later on, the person even sent Myra the photo of the woman so Myra could immediately identify who
she was supposed to meet.
Looking at the thin woman in the photo, Myra hesitated over and over again, but still decided toe
over. When she told Tony that she wanted to go to the cemetery at the time, she was still debating over
whether to go or not. She most definitely wanted to visit her mother’s grave, so she made the decision
to go for that reason.
Indeed, she was reluctant to meet an unfamiliar woman, but that person went on to tell her a bunch of
things while keeping her on the phone. In the end, Myra decided to go meet the woman with all the
suspicions she had. She only heard half of the story over the phone; thetter parts were what she
wanted to know more.
When Myra saw the thin woman in the cemetery, she started to feel a slight regret. At first nce, she
couldn’t grow fond of the woman; she kept feeling an inexplicably chilling presence from thetter.
When the woman began to tell her the details, it made her astonished. By the end of it, Myra was
covering her ears and telling the woman to stop talking.
“That’s enough. I don’t want to hear it anymore. I’m going back now.” Myra shot the woman a re.
She regretteding to this meeting today.
Regardless of whether the woman was speaking the truth or not, she shouldn’t hear it from her. If it
were true, Myra wanted to hear it from Heather herself.
If it weren’t true, then Myra would regret having doubted her. After chasing the woman away, Myra
stood in front of her mother’s grave alone. For a while, she wasn’t able to put her mind at ease.
At this moment, her phone indicated that she was getting a call from Heather. In the middle of being
overwhelmed with emotions, she answered the call, and that was how one thing led to another.
“Mother, should I believe her?” Myra was looking at her mother’s picture on the gravestone. Her mother
had passed away at the prime of her life; she still looked beautiful in the picture.
Having stood there for a long time, Myra felt out of it until the driver arrived behind her. Tony had been
concerned about Myra being at the cemetery and decided to call the driver straight away. He learned
from the driver that Myra hadn’te out of the cemetery yet after having been in there for a long time.
Upon hearing that, he asked the driver to go in and look for her.
“Mrs. Hart, the cemetery is cold. You shouldn’t be here for too long.” The driver reminded her not to
stay in the cemetery any longer. Even he, a big man, felt chilly there. Not to mention, Myra was
pregnant.
“Okay.” Finally, she was willing to leave the cemetery.
…
Meanwhile, Tony was also taken aback by a situation that had unfolded in Hart Group. It was
unexpected that Caleb had dropped by on his own two feet, but it was even more shocking when Caleb
invited Tony out to talk over some business.
Tony didn’t know whether Caleb had hidden motives or whether it was a coincidence. The ce Caleb
wanted to meet at happened to be right next to Tony’s house.
If Caleb had invited him over the phone, Tony probably wouldn’t have shown up. But since Caleb went
straight to Hart Group, Tony didn’t have a choice but to show up at this meeting.
Even though Tony knew a few past grudges among the three great families, on the surface, they were
all people in business, and interactions when doing business was nothing out of the ordinary.
Presently, even the Langston Family hadn’t gotten into a feud with the Moriarty Family yet, so how
could Tony start a fight with them first? Whether explicit or not, they still had to keep up appearances.
When Caleb came to pick Tony up in his own car, Tony did not turn his hospitality down either.
Inside the car, Tony spotted a woman. Huh. There’s actually a woman with Caleb. Going into the
backseat, he could only see the side profile and the back of the head of the woman in the passenger
seat, but not her entire face.
Throughout the whole drive, Tony kept guessing the woman’s real identity. Her side profile seemed to
remind him of someone, but he couldn’t remember who.
When they got out of the car, the woman did not follow them out. He intended on taking a look at the
woman’s face once he got out of the car, but he didn’t expect to see her with her head down.
He found it even more unexpected that the woman didn’t follow them out of the car. Hence, while
pointing at the woman inside the car, he asked Caleb with a puzzled look, “Isn’t sheing with us?”
Caleb let out a dubious smile. “It wouldn’t be appropriate for a woman to be present in a discussion
among men.”
Indeed, Caleb was a little severe with his belief in the patriarchy. The people who worked in his family
were mostly men, while the women were seemingly just essories. Tony had a firm understanding of
the Moriarty Family.
This time, not only was Caleb’s appearance suspicious, even the way he talked during the meeting was
different from usual, though Tony and Caleb had only met once in Bradfort City.
At the time, they were around a bunch of businessmen. The both of them only spoke a few words to
each other, but Tony was still specially observant of Caleb that day.
Just like the rumors had imed, Caleb was truly a reserved person who carried a chilling presence.
One could even smell the faint scent of blood when they got close to him.
Killing one person would make someone a murderer; killing ten, a mass murderer; and whoever killed
tens of thousands would be called a general.
Tony still tried to stay away from Caleb. Leisfeld authorities were currently going through an unrest, and
Caleb upied an important position as the youngest general of Leisfeld.
At this point in time, he should be in Leisfeld, safeguarding military order and the nation’s safety.
Hence, why would hee to Bradfort City now as a businessman, as though nothing was happening?
The two had their discussion inside a private room, but it didn’t look harmonious at all. They were each
carrying an ulterior motive of their own.
“Director Hart, are you really not going to reconsider the coboration?” Caleb wanted to work with Hart
Group, but Tony never gave a reply.
Since they were meeting on their own today, Tony couldn’t drag things out any further, so he simply
gave a rejection. Why would the Hart Group coborate with the Moriarty Family? Back then, the
Moriarty Family went all out and nearly annihted the entire Hart Group.
The Moriarty Family’s methods were extremely malicious, so Tony would naturally be more aware of
them. He was especially disgusted by the cut-throatpetition in the business world, and he
despised bringing personal grudges into work even more. Not only the Langston Family was worried
that Caleb would destroy their century-old foundation over a personal grudge; the Hart Family was also
equally worried for the same reason. Even if Caleb had remarkable capabilities, he still couldn’t mess
with people in the government in Bradfort City, much less the people in the military.
Hence, Caleb could only attack Tony and Hart Group now. Presently, Hart Group was gradually
stepping out of Bradfort City under Tony’s lead and advancing into the international market, so this was
a critical point in time.
Tony would not allow anyone or anything to undermine Hart Group at this stage. Previously, Tony didn’t
even bat an eye on the series of challenges Locke Group had put up against Hart Group seriously.
Locke Group’s power had always been a mystery, but Tony knew when they first came to Bradfort City
that they couldn’t take down Hart Group even if they used up all their skills.
Therefore, at the time, Tony could still enjoy his honeymoon vacation with Myra overseas. The Moriarty
Family’s appearance this time, however, changed the nature of things in an instant.
Sebastian gave Tony a warning very early on. Hence, Tony already understood that when he ran Hart
Group, he would most likely encounter a formidable opponent like the Moriarty Family.
“Our products are inpetition with each other to arge extent. For either of us, a coboration
would not bring about greater value.” Tony gave a high-sounding reason. No matter how hard Caleb
tried to persuade him, he would never agree to a coboration.
“It’s a shame. I’ve always wanted to coborate with Hart Group. I guess there isn’t a chance for me
to,” Caleb said with a regretful tone.
“Our businesses will still continue to develop, so I’m sure there will be a chance to coborate in the
future,” Tony said out of courtesy. At this time, he could only treat Caleb as someone he didn’te to
an agreement with in business.
“We’re unable to reach a business coboration for the time being, but I’m wondering if I can be friends
with you for now.” Caleb was being very initiative, which did not match up to the information written
about him.
It was impossible for Tony to refuse now, so he just agreed as he recalled the first time he met Caleb.
Caleb was clearly just sitting there, but he had a presence about him that made it impossible for others
to take their eyes off of him; even Tony was drawn toward him. He had the features of a nobility—every
move he made embodied the characteristics of a businessman, along with the overbearing nature of a
military general.
In the end, they did not reach an agreement, but Caleb still had a few drinks with Tony. The wine at this
ce was incredibly fragrant. After they finished drinking, they didn’t smell of alcohol but the light
aroma of mature wine.
After a few drinks, Tony remembered that Myra wasing home soon. Since this ce was close to
his house, he wanted to go home and wait for her return. She might be sad having just been to the
cemetery, so he wanted to keep herpany during this time.
The whole situation was strung up together. At the time, the myriad of things Heather noticed was all
just on the surface. She didn’t know what had really taken ce beneath all that.
To Heather, this day was a disaster; to Myra, it was a day that overturned everything; to Tony, it was an
inexplicable day. Nheless, they all hoped that this day would be over soon.
