As it was not the Hart Family’s intention to drive the Walton Family into a corner, Sebastian darted a

calm look at his grandson, Tony, when he heard Old Master Walton’s words. Tony raised an eyebrow

and did not say anything, so Sebastian smiled and nodded. “It was merely a small conflict between the

young ones. Everything will be fine once they talk things out.”

When the Waltons heard that, their expressions eased a little.

After the two families chatted for a while, the Hart Family left and returned to the crowd with the excuse

that they had other things to attend to, leaving the Walton Family standing on the spot awkwardly.

It was only when the Hart Family had left that Old Master Walton’s expression instantly fell and gloom

spread across his face. To him, the Hart Family’s attitude toward them was akin to humiliating him in Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

public. The legitimate granddaughter of the Walton Family was forced to apologize to an outsider—a

woman with an insignificant family background that they had never even heard of before.

“It was all your fault, you b*tch!” He suddenly raised his hand and gave Gemma a tight slap.

Although they were at the rest area in a corner, there were quite a number of people around them and

the commotion immediately attracted the gaze of many people nearby.

Gemma was stunned by the sudden and harsh slap. When she finally returned to her senses, her eyes

reddened and she mumbled, “Grandpa…”

She looked at her grandfather in disbelief, a clearly visible handprint on her face. She was already

frustrated and mortified for having been forced to apologize to Myra in front of everyone earlier and

now, not only did her grandfather not comfort her, he even gave her a slap instead. However, for some

inexplicable reason, this made her hold a grudge against Myra. If it weren’t because of Myra, I wouldn’t

have been in this position now! She not only snatched Tony from me, but she even flaunted their

relationship in front of me!

“Dad, why did you hit Gemma? It wasn’t her fault to begin with; it was that b*tch’s fault! Who could have

guessed that she would come between Gemma’s relationship with Tony? Tony was together with

Gemma at first, but the b*tch actually snatched him from her!” When Shelly saw her beloved daughter

being hit, she immediately stepped forward and pulled Gemma to her side while looking at Old Master

Walton.

“Do you want to go looking for trouble? Perhaps you are hoping to announce it to the public and let

everyone know about it?” He glared at his daughter-in-law with his eyes filled with wrath.

Shelly then glanced around and instantly fell silent. However, Gemma, who was behind her, started to

weep in aggrievement. “Grandpa, it was that woman’s fault to begin with so why did you hit me? I did

that for the sake of the Walton Family. I thought that exposing what that woman did in the past would

result in her being kicked out of the Hart Family. How would I know that not only did they not drive her

away, they even helped her…”

If the Walton Family was not in a plight now, Gemma wouldn’t have swallowed her pride. To her,

apologizing to Myra was even more agonizing than death itself.

Old Master Walton’s eyes were so dark that they seemed to contain a raging storm in them. “For the

sake of the Walton Family?” He chuckled coldly. “You should consider yourself lucky for not completely

destroying the Walton Family! Gemma, you are my granddaughter, so don’t speak or act so stupidly!

Don’t let anyone take advantage of you without you being aware of it!”

After he said that, his gaze calmly flicked across Kris, who had been standing off to one side without

saying a word ever since they had arrived. Upon noticing Old Master Walton’s gaze, Kris froze and she

bowed her head even lower.

Gemma gritted her teeth. “What should we do now? Grandpa, are we really going to just let that

woman marry into the Hart Family?”

Her gaze was fixated on Myra, who was intimately standing together with Tony among the crowd, from

afar. That spot should belong to me but it has been snatched away by that woman! Whenever Gemma

thought of the fact that Myra would soon acquire the identity that the former had been longing to attain,

she would be consumed by jealousy to the point where she nearly lost her mind.

“Of course not.” Old Master Walton narrowed his eyes and something sinister flashed across his gaze.

“It’s against the principle of the Walton Family to back down when we are bullied.”

He then turned to Shelly and muttered, “Go ahead, Shelly.” He looked at her meaningfully, which she

instantly understood, and she scoffed before saying to Gideon, “Gideon, don’t get too absorbed in your

relationship that you neglect your sister. Take good care of her these days.”

Upon hearing his name, Gideon raised his brows and glanced at the woman beside him before nodding

at Shelly. “Okay.”

…

After Myra and Tony made small talk with a director, they continued forward. Upon seeing Myra’s pale

face, Tony frowned and advised, “You go upstairs and take a rest.”

Myra seemed unwell ever since she arrived at the banquet today, and he was afraid that she would

push herself too hard. Therefore, after saying that, he fished out his phone from his pocket and

searched for Philip’s contact.

Just then, a phone rang; however, it was not Tony’s phone, as the sound came from Myra’s handbag.

She froze before she took out her phone; what appeared on the screen was another unknown number.

Upon seeing the number, she subconsciously furrowed her brows, whereas Tony’s gaze darkened

slightly. She promptly hung up the call. However, right after that, the person on the other end of the line

called her again. It was as if the person would continue calling her if she refused to pick up his call.

Just as she was about to block the number, Tony narrowed his eyes and took out his phone, then

dialed the same number that he saw on her phone. Apparently, the person on the other end of the line

knew his number. The moment the call went through, Sean’s angry voice was heard from the other

side. “Tony Hart, don’t you dare touch Myra! It was you who framed her back then and made us believe

that she stole the confidential business intel of the Chase Group’s Hilliville project, not to mention the

Hilliville project itself—it was also you who colluded with Lyla to acquire the project, right? What are you

planning to do with Myra?”

Lately, Sean had been investigating the gold Aston Martin Taraf and he managed to recover a section

of the video that was taken at the underground car park after it had been accidentally deleted. Although

he did not know who the person in that sports car was at that time, he knew that the car belonged to

Elliot, who was as thick as thieves with Tony. In the video, Lyla was seen passing a document to the

person in the car. Sean did not need to be a rocket scientist to be able to guess that the document was

the confidential intel of the Chase Group’s Hilliville Project. He had long been unable to see through

Lyla!

She was no longer the kind and beautiful woman she used to be; now, she was cruel and manipulative.

In order to drive Myra away from him, she probably had taken countless actions against Myra in secret.

To top it all off, he kept thinking that it was all Myra’s fault. It was only when the entire incident was

slowly revealed and the truth was slowly presenting itself in front of him that he finally had no choice

but to believe it. The woman lied to me! She schemed everything together with the man on the other

end of the line, and she succeeded in pushing Myra away from me!

Before Tony managed to say even a word, the man on the other side beat him to it and gave him a

lecture. When Tony heard his words, his expression instantly became dark.

Upon seeing his expression, Myra, who was standing beside him, frowned slightly. “You don’t need to

say anything to him; let’s not pick up his call ever again.”

When Sean heard Myra’s voice, the anger in his voice escalated. “Tony, do you think that Myra won’t

find out about all this if you hide it from her? I will definitely place every single piece of evidence in front

of her to prove all the despicable things that you have done to her!”
