Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

“Heh…” Tony chuckled softly. Even Cameron could hear the deep ridicule hidden within the laughter. Cameron clenched the phone tightly in his hands and asked, “Director Hart, what… is the purpose of your call today?”

Tony flicked the ash off his cigarette and faintly replied, “Naturally, I’m here to give my future father-in-law a present. I heard that the Stark Group was trying to obtain the Elsinore Garden Project recently.”

As if he didn’t know in the first place. Cameron’s eyes gleamed. “Director Hart, are you—”

“I will hand over another 3% of the profits in the Elsinore Garden Project if you let Myra take the position of the Stark Group’s general manager and take charge of this project. What do you think?”

Without waiting for Cameron to express his opinion, Tony addressed the person on the other end of the phone as ‘father-in-law’. Then, he said something about handing over the profits to the Stark Group on the condition that Myra took the position as the general manager of the company. Listening to those words, Kris felt her pupils contracting abruptly in response. Even so, she didn’t dare to interrupt the conversation between the two men!

When Cameron heard Tony saying that he was willing to hand over the profits, his eyes narrowed considerably. Obtaining the Elsinore Garden Project was a great opportunity for the Stark Group—the profits from the project were enough to compare to the company’s profits for the next half of the year. If I can get another 3%… “It looks like Myra is deeply loved, Director Hart.” After weighing the pros and cons, he quickly came to a conclusion and laughed in delight. “Myra is a scrupulous child. I will feel at ease to leave the Elsinore Garden Project in her hands.”

Those words meant that the two of them had reached an agreement. Thus, Tony hung up without further ado.

“Tony…” Kris no longer addressed him as ‘Director Hart’. She looked shocked, her white teeth fiercely biting down on her lower lip. “Have you gotten the wrong idea about me? I didn’t mean to deceive you last time. However, I can’t explain the specifics to you. The Stark Group, Hilliville, and the Ritz Carlton will indeed all be mine in the future. I know that the Hart Group is hyping up Hilliville right now. I’m sure Sis is not willing to hand it over to you. But, if I can obtain it, I will surely hand it over to you without hesitation!”

She now blamed the man’s indifference toward her entirely on the last conversation they had outside the Zion Club that went nowhere in the end.
