Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

The other party replied gently, “Sure. You should quickly get back to work too. Don’t disturb your father and your sister during their discussion.”

Kris obediently made a non-committal sound in reply and turned off her phone. After that, she went into Cameron’s pantry, brought out a glass of lemonade for Myra, and placed it on the desk in front of Cameron. For a moment, she seemed like she was about to call out to Myra but lowered her head instead when she saw the ugly expression on Myra’s face. She turned to Cameron and said, “Dad, I’m going back to work.” Then, she hastily left the office. The office door quickly closed behind her amidst the strange atmosphere in the air.

In the meantime, Myra stared at the man in front of her. Although he was 50, he remained in high spirits and looked no more than 40 due to good health maintenance. His handsome looks from his younger days could still be seen from his sharp facial features, and his eyes gleamed with a businessman’s shrewd intelligence.

If it wasn’t for him, my mother would not have felt so lonely for most of her life and suffer so much despair that she finally decided to commit suicide in such a decisive way. Her fists clenched tightly as she stared at the man in front of her without saying anything.

On the other hand, Cameron stood up from his chair and glanced at her, a meaningful smile appearing at the corners of his lips. “I thought you wouldn’t appear at the Stark Group, or at least, not so soon.”

“That’s why I’m here now.” She was expressionless. “I hate doing what people expect of me the most. Cameron Stark, cut the nonsense. I want the position of Design Department Director. Or else, forget about trying to make me come back here again.”

His eyes narrowed slightly at her words. He suddenly took out a cigarette and lit it. However, he did not continue the conversation from where she ended her sentence. Taking a deep drag on the cigarette, he softened his tone considerably. “Myra, I know that you are grieving right now. You are my child. I’m sure you must be heartbroken after being gravely wronged by that brat from the Chase Family and divorcing him. But, it’s good that you’re back now. No matter how well you fare outside, there is still no place like home.”

words. The reason she left the Stark Group back then was that he had threatened to kick her out of the company if she refused to transfer the ownership of the shares her grandfather had left for her over to him. Therefore, she had left the Stark Group in a fit of rage. Now that he was going to have a son soon, her 20% stake in the company became something he had to get back at all costs! No matter how well I fare outside, there is still no place like home? She snorted derisively. “Are you trying
