Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 82

After Lyla knocked on the door, Tony’s deep and sexy voice came through. “Come in.”

When she opened the door to enter his office, she knew he was smoking despite the fact that he had

his back to her, as she could see the smoke rising from behind the chair. Even though she didn’t get to

see his face, she could sense his regal and majestic air.

It’s a pity that he doesn’t belong to me, she mused. “You sure hired a lot of spies to work for you. I am

impressed.” Lyla let out a chuckle after she spoke. Ever since they became allies, she had been getting

increasingly unscrupulous.

Meanwhile, Tony narrowed his eyes while informing her in an aloof manner, “There are a stack of

photos on the table that I suppose will be of use to you.”

Despite her slight surprise, Lyla smiled when she recalled the phone call she received at Zion Club that

provided her with the information. “I wonder what your terms are, Mr. Hart. I am still worried that I might

not be able to repay you.”

Even though that was what she said, she still picked up the envelope on the desk without hesitation.

After slowly opening it, she seemed excited when her eyes lit up as soon as she saw its contents. “Mr.

Hart, can I know how Myra Stark offended you?” Lyla asked while browsing through the photos of Myra

being intimate with other men. She wore a knowing smile as she spoke. “Why are you so eager to

teach her a lesson?”

Due to the angle of the photos that obscured that man’s face, all it showed was that the man had great

physique. Therefore, the photos might not have much of an impact if they were published in magazines

or tabloids. However, the photos could upset the balance if Sean saw them.

“That’s none of your business. I trust that you know what you should and shouldn’t do.” Tony turned

around abruptly. His handsome features made her heart throb while she realized just how much of a

shame it was that she couldn’t get her hands on him. Nonetheless, she quickly regained her

composure. “All I have is but one request. Keep this between us, lest it gives us more trouble in the

future.” After all, she was aiming to marry into the Chase Family, so she didn’t want to complicate

things unnecessarily.

“Of course.” Tony arched his brow, his eyes holding a chilly gaze.

Meanwhile, Myra got a call from Lyla not long after she got out of Hart Group. Although she wasn’t

planning on answering the call, she was at the same time curious about what Lyla had to say to her.

Silence hung in the air when she picked up. After that, Lyla’s slightly hoarse voice came through. “Myra

Stark, do you want to know about the child that I had with Sean? I’ll tell you everything if you come to

the cafeteria at six in the evening.”

Myra went to the construction site after leaving Hart Group, and she only got back to her car at five

o’clock in the afternoon. Feeling somewhat preoccupied, she had to admit that she was tempted by

Lyla’s offer. After Sean accused her of such a foul deed, of course she would want to know what

happened to Sean and Lyla’s child.

Although Sean claimed that she murdered the child, she never had memories of committing such an

atrocity; she didn’t do anything to Lyla and the baby. After spending an entire afternoon pondering on

the matter, she ended up getting into the car to drive to the cafeteria.

While on her way there, she passed by another cafeteria. Unexpectedly, she saw Estelle seemingly

entangled with another man. She thought Estelle was in trouble, so she parked her car to enter the

cafeteria. It was her first time ever dropping by there. The place was quiet and had good privacy, as

there were potted plants everywhere that obscured the view of its interior.

When Myra was moving closer to Estelle, she heard Estelle’s shrill voice ringing in the cafeteria. “I’m

warning you, Shawn Hart! Stop making any moves on me! Don’t you dare assume that I’ll have to takeNôvelDrama.Org content.

responsibility just because I f*cked you! If that’s how it is, the men that I would have to take care of

would have formed a long line that would reach all the way to City Hall! You’re a man, so act like one!”

Her speech was followed by the somewhat familiar voice of a man. He sounded a bit exasperated as

he chided, “Stay still! I’ll f*ck you right here, right now if you move a muscle!”

“How dare you, you scumbag! If you lay a finger on me, I’ll make a public announcement at City Hall so

that the public will know that you raped an innocent woman!”

“Pfft!” Myra couldn’t help but huff out a laugh when she heard Estelle’s fierce declaration.

“Who’s there?!” Estelle’s voice came through. It was too late for Myra to hide now, for the lush growth in

front of her was pushed to the side by a slender hand, which revealed Estelle’s face that was tinged a

scarlet hue due to anger. She was startled when she saw Myra on the other side of the potted plant.

“Myra, why are you here?”

Having been discovered, Myra could only walk up to them awkwardly. After pushing the branches

aside, she could finally see the man’s face. Although she never saw much of the third son of the Hart

Family, she quickly determined that he looked almost as handsome as Tony, which seemed to prove

that the Harts had an advantage in that department.

Shawn Hart had bright eyes and a straight nose, but he looked more serious compared to Tony, who

was more cold aloof. However, Shawn also had an elegance befitting of his position as a government

official.

“Hello, Mr. Hart.” Ignoring Estelle, she opted to greet Shawn first.

On the other hand, Estelle tried to escape from Shawn’s side by moving toward Myra, only to be

stopped by Shawn, who was holding her by the waist. “Don’t you dare forget about the words that you

whispered into my ears! You’re the one who decided to get involved with me. Once that happens, we’re

bound together for life!”

“Bullsh*t!” Due to the fact that Myra was watching as Estelle made a fool out of herself, she couldn’t

help but swear while blushing. However, she cowered as soon as she saw the grim look that crossed

Shawn’s face. She already witnessed his ever-changing mood and duplicity. Although he seemed like a

just person on the outside, he was in fact a conniving b*stard.

Ever since she nearly died that night from all the torture that he inflicted on her, she had been avoiding

him. However, their positions had switched; from being the chaser, she had become the one who was

being pursued. No matter where she went, Shawn could always find her.

Therefore, she changed her tune. “I have an appointment with Myra, so we’ll talk another day.”

Shawn sulked as soon as he heard that, while Myra blinked in confusion. What appointment? We never

agreed on that? Myra thought.

In the meantime, Shawn turned to look at Myra while asking, “Miss Stark, can you move your

appointment to another date?”

Estelle was about to refuse him when Myra smiled apologetically at her before glancing at Shawn. “Of

course. I can meet her on another date since she already has an appointment with you.”

Estelle’s eyes went wide in disbelief, whereas Myra heaved an inaudible sigh. After all, Estelle was the

one who got involved with Shawn in the first place. She could still recall Estelle telling her that it

wouldn’t be a one-night-stand, as she was serious about the relationship. If that’s the case, why can’t

you try spending some time with Shawn?

Other than that, Myra also had a feeling that Shawn was also serious about Estelle. At the same time,

Estelle was blushing, so she determined that Estelle was denying her own feelings. After all, she never

was someone who would blush that easily.
