Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 183

Myra recalled Kris always being fond of that villa in Cape District.

But it was a property that Cameron was hoarding—it was the most expensive and significant place to

him—so he never let it go to Kris.

When Cameron blurted those words out, Myra felt disgusted but also surprised, and she understood

why Kris had a sour expression on her way out earlier. Nonetheless, she did not think that this was

Cameron’s sudden attempt at being a loving father. Narrowing her eyes at him, she said, “Just tell me

what this is about, President Stark. Even if you don’t find beating around the bush annoying, I find it

quite exhausting.”

This time, however, he was not displeased with her rude speech and simply gave her a resigned smile.

“Look at you. I just wanted to make your journey to work every day more convenient for you. Your sister

always wanted that villa, but I kept it for you. Myra, I treat you much better than I treat your sister.”

“Oh.” She did not show any emotions. “Since you want to give it to me, go through the procedures and

have someone leave the documents in my office once everything is ready. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get

going now.”

She turned to leave, but he held her back. “Wait, Myra. I want to discuss some things with you.”

Hearing his words, she furrowed her brows warily. Before she could say anything else, he pressed on,

“When you left the Chase Family, I remember you took fifty percent of Chase Group’s property in

Hilliville. Isn’t that right?”

Her steps came to a halt. Turning around, she retorted, “Which one of my houses are you interested in,

President Stark? Since you’re giving me that villa, just tell me which house you like and I will make the

changes and have someone bring the documents to you tomorrow.” How could she speak with such

spite?

His expression hardened for a moment, but he quickly put on a smile again. “Myra, as you already

know, Hilliville is a dead city. This was what I wanted to discuss with you. Owning that piece of land will

not serve you any purpose. If you’re just going to let it remain idle, why not sell it to me instead? I know

you’ve grown interested in investing lately. Why don’t you take away a bit of cash and do whatever you

want with it? What do you say?”

A thought struck her. “How much are you thinking of paying for this land?”

“How does a billion sound?” He lifted his teacup without making a sound and lowered his head to take Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

a sip, hiding the light that flickered across his eyes.

A billion… Indeed, a billion sounded tempting to Myra. The Stark Family currently owned eighty percent

of the shares in Stark Group. The remaining twenty percent was owned by outsiders. I need money in

order to buy those shares back, but… Seeing the emboldened look on his face, she started to grow

doubtful. Those feelings of doubt grew even deeper and quickly led her to refuse. “You must be joking,

President Stark. Aren’t you afraid of wasting your billion on that big piece of land?”

“Wasting?” He scoffed at her as though she was still ignorant. Standing up, he walked toward her and

went on, “Myra, isn’t having a billion better than having a dead city? You can make more money with

money, but why would you want to keep a dead city? Can it still bring you profit?”

“I don’t know about that, but I know you never get involved in a business that would cost you a loss in

capital. In that case, why should I sell it to you?”

She smiled, but there was not a trace of delight in her eyes. When she turned around, his low and deep

voice came from behind her. “Plus five percent of Stark Group’s shares.”

Her steps hesitated briefly, but she still kept on walking. “President Stark, don’t you know that the more

you add to this, the more you’re informing me of the value of this piece of land? Maybe I should put this

differently.” She snarled, “Don’t bother paying any attention to what I own!”

With that, she quickly walked out of his office.

Seeing her now firm and tenacious back compared to before, he started to feel the anger boil in his

chest and immediately flung the documents on his table aside. Did she get more intuitive after her

divorce? How did she not catch on to such a big bait? She even gained the upper hand in the end!

He narrowed his eyes sharply, then picked up his phone and called an internal line. Very quickly, the

call was answered. “Dad?”

“Kris, I give you my full support on what you told me earlier. Do your best to win Director Hart over. I’ll

be your powerful backing! Also, I heard the two elders of the Hart Family are fond of well-behaved girls.

You must win their favor to be able to get into the Hart Family smoothly!”

Kris felt a surge of joy. She reassured, “Don’t worry, Dad. I already know how I can win Director Hart

over. I won’t let you down.”

“One more thing…” The anger in his eyes had mostly subsided. He narrowed them and asked, “Do you

know where your sister keeps all her important documents?”

Myra left Cameron’s office to step into a fresh and relaxed atmosphere outside. It was infinitely more

comfortable than being in his office.

After taking a deep breath, she heard the sound of documents falling to the ground from inside and

smiled in delight.

Of course, he had hidden intentions behind giving me that villa. She did not know whether his old age

was making him lose his temper more easily, but since he had informed her of the value of Hilliville, she

now knew which path to move forward in.

After leaving his office, she returned to her own office and quickly pulled out the latest economic news

relating to Bradfort City. As expected, Hart Group officially announced the purchase of sixty percent of

Hilliville’s real estate and had begun making drastic transformations to the land—attracting

businessmen and selling houses.

The Hart Group always caused a frenzy effect wherever they went. Aside from various major media

sources fighting to report the news, economic scholars were also predicting that Hilliville would come to

life again under Hart Group and even go on to become another small center in Bradfort City. With the

addition of the few great families in Bradfort City such as the Renaud Family, Windrow Family, Samson

Family, and Moss Family, their influence would be vast. This alone would take up the news for the first

half of the year.

Myra thought, Now I know why Cameron wanted that land.

The corner of her lips slowly curled up. As she stared at the name ‘Hart Group’ in the article, her eyes

filled with tenderness.

She was not sure if he did all of this for her, but she was indeed the biggest beneficiary.

Myra was not a stubborn person. She was truly moved and happy because of Tony’s actions. He must

be the person to bring magic into my life. Suddenly, she really wanted to see him.

After she turned off her computer, she grabbed her purse and headed toward the basement parking lot.

Coming out of the elevator, she saw Kris walking toward that red sports car of hers in a coquettish

manner with her back arched.

Kris sneered at Myra when she saw her. She sat inside the car with that sneer on her face then quickly

drove off.

Myra did not take it personally either. She quickly got into her own car and drove to Bradfort University.

The conference at Bradfort University ended very soon. Sean had mostly spent the latter half of it

smoking outside.

When the principal saw him from the back, he quickly said a word to Tony then headed outside.

The principal still felt a sense of pride and nostalgia with Sean.

After all, Sean was a social elite who graduated from his school.

Arriving in front of Sean, the principal asked amiably, “Sean, why didn’t you come to school with Myra

today? I sent her an invitation as well.”
