Chapter 97
The worker hadn’t met Eve in the past and didn’t know who she was. After jumping in response to
Eve’s loud shouts, the worker simply flashed Eve an awkward smile before he turned around and left.
Eve hurriedly gave Myra a phone call, but Myra didn’t pick her phone up. It really seems as though they
might be getting a divorce! Eve’s face fell pale as she walked over to the pantry before making an
international call to speak to her own son.
“What is going on, Sean? Didn’t I tell you to coax Myra into coming back? What have you done to her?
She’s even resigning from Chase Group now!” Eve’s voice was filled with worry, but Sean’s response
was calm and flat. “Myra and I have decided to get a divorce, Mom.”
“What?! Are you crazy?!” Eve was completely shocked. “A divorce?! Are you crazy, Sean? How dare
you get a divorce from Myra! Y-You’re mad! Hurry up and get back home now!” she cried.
“I’m in New York, Mom. I can’t leave for now. Anyway, I’m taking this divorce very seriously; I’ve been
thinking about it for a while now. I know you like Myra, but I don’t like her, Mom. I hope you can
understand my decision this time.” He ended the call right after that. Eve felt like she was about to lose
her mind as she continued to hold onto her phone despite the beeping sound that came from the
disconnected call. I shouldn’t have left if I knew that this would happen. I wasn’t giving them the space
to reconcile their feelings; I only gave them space to destroy their relationship! I feel like Leo should be
partially blamed for this. Why did I believe his words when he’s nothing more than an outsider?!
“They can’t get a divorce! They simply can’t!” Eve hissed to herself before she walked toward the
elevator. Soon, the elevator arrived at her level. She got in and went downstairs immediately. Lyla then
stepped out from another small room, her face pale and disheartened. I know that Eve really likes
Myra. However, what should I do if Eve steps forward and stops Sean and Myra from getting a divorce?
Lyla headed down the stairs with a grim look on her face—she didn’t even bother taking the elevator.
When she finally arrived on the first floor, she heard loud shouts and arguments coming from the front From NôvelDrama.Org.
desk. As she frowned, she turned to see a pretty yet rather pallid woman wrestling with the lady who
worked at the front desk. “Let go of me! I want to see my cousin! Why are you stopping me? Sean’s my
cousin—that’s your Director Chase! If you continue to stop me here, I’m going to tell him about it and
get him to fire you!”
Upon hearing this, Lyla raised her sleek eyebrows. The woman before her eyes wasn’t a stranger to
her either; Sasha was Sean’s cousin, and she was a woman who had once looked down upon Lyla.
They never really got along with one another. Right then, Lyla simply let out a slight chuckle as she
walked over and got the front desk worker to let go of Sasha. “It’s been a while, Sasha,” Lyla then
uttered with a smile.
“It’s you…” Sasha knitted her brows the moment she saw the person who had just walked toward her.
Sasha knew about Lyla’s return, and she knew about Lyla’s involvement with her cousin. Although
Sasha didn’t necessarily like Lyla as a person, she hated Myra more than anyone else! Ever since the
plagiarism incident and the moment she knew about Tony’s feelings toward Myra, she had desperately
longed to crush Myra into pieces.
Previously, Sasha told a few company directors that Myra had shamelessly flirted with Tony; that was
how Sasha ended up ruining the Hay Group’s reputation. Sasha had been careful as she was afraid to
make this too much of a big deal; she merely told a few companies that the Hay Group had better
connections with. Tony somehow managed to find out about this, and he canceled all partnerships and
collaborations that the Hart Group had with the Hay Group. After he forfeited his contracts, a few other
companies that had been working well with Hay Group followed suit. Now that the Hay Group’s stock
prices were plummeting, Sasha had no other choice but to approach her cousin brother for help.
However, she didn’t expect that Sean would avoid her for so long!
“Miss Fisher, please help me to tell Sean that I’m really begging him for a favor. He’s the only one who
can help the Hay Group right now. He’s my grandfather’s grandson too; he can’t just watch as the Hay
Group falls apart!” Right then, Sasha no longer seemed to care about her grudges with Lyla.
On the other hand, Lyla shook her head as her eyes twinkled with the obvious joy that she felt from
watching Sasha’s suffering. “Judging by the way you seem now, I can tell that Sean doesn’t wish to see
you at all, Sasha. Since he has already made his decision, I guess my words won’t be of much use
anymore.”
Sasha gritted her teeth as she understood the unspoken meaning behind Lyla’s words. But our issue at
the Hay Group is a real emergency… Sasha clenched her fists at the sides of her body as she spoke. “I
know that you’re back to snatch Sean away for yourself, Lyla. Yet, Myra still carries her title and status
for now; with all that she has done for the Chase Group, I wouldn’t be surprised if they give half of the
company to her. But that’s not what you would like to see, right?”
The other woman lifted her eyebrows as she continued to stare at Sasha in an unbothered manner.
“What are you trying to tell me here?”
Sasha took a deep breath. “I’ll tell you something about Myra; it might be able to help you. However,
you have to promise that you will put in a good word for the Hay Group in front of Sean!”
“Oh? That depends on whether what you’re about to tell me is a useful piece of information, right?” Lyla
curled her lips into a nasty smirk. Sasha tightened her fists then. Telling another woman about how the
man I like is in love with the woman I hate most—no other woman would be stupid enough to do
something like this. Sasha’s eyes were filled with hatred as she spoke. “That woman, Myra, has been
trying to seduce the director of Hart Group, Tony Hart.”
The next day, Myra received a sudden call from Estelle while she was on her way to the office. Estelle
called to ask about a piece of gossip that she had heard the night before. “Hey, Myra—what’s going on
between you and Director Hart?” The night before that, Shawn had returned home and said that Tony
might be interested in Myra. However, Myra seemed to have rejected Tony’s advances on her. Estelle
was extremely excited when she first heard that Tony had actually fallen for Myra! It’s Tony, the legend
of Bradfort City and the person in charge of the Hart Group. With a snap of his fingers, he’d be able to
influence the entire economical system in Bradfort City. He’s like the most exclusive piece of jewelry in
Bradfort City—a combination of wealth, power, looks, and wisdom all packed into the body of a single
man. Many women would sacrifice anything just to be with him. If he’s fallen for Myra… Hehe. If that’s
the case, it wouldn’t be Myra’s loss then! This whole thing could even be a huge slap in the face for
Sean and Lyla!
Once Myra heard Estelle’s mention of Tony, she recalled the conversation that she had with him last
night and felt a bitter sensation in her chest. She simply brushed Estelle off. “I’ll talk to you later. I’m
almost reaching the company,” she uttered in an attempt to end the call.
“Hey, hey. Wait! Don’t end the call just yet. I literally just called you; how could you end my call so
soon?!” Estelle quickly exclaimed when she realized that Myra was about to end her call. “I think Tony
is so much better than Sean! You can’t miss out on this amazing opportunity, Myra; you have to hold
onto him! Of course, your divorce is important too. You have to speed up your divorce process so that
you can officially be with Tony!” she cried.
Beep… beep… beep. Before Estelle could finish her sentence, Myra had already ended the call.
Estelle felt a mixture of emotions as she looked at her own phone. “That heartless woman! I was only
saying it for her own good. Tony has such great qualities; why is she being so stubborn?! She even
ended my call before I finished speaking!”
“Tony wouldn’t be interested in her if she wasn’t the stubborn woman that she is.” Estelle didn’t realize
when her bedroom door had opened, but Shawn was leaning his naked upper body against the
doorframe as he looked at her. All he had on was a pair of pants.
