Chapter 177

Naturally, that conversation became a thorn in Eve’s heart. She was never fond of Lyla, and now, Lyla was just a real eyesore.

Eve’s expression was gloomy, yet Lyla didn’t seem to have the patience to entertain her anymore. She walked past her directly and went straight for the house.

Eve’s expression sank further. Infuriated, she pulled her lips into a tight line, though she could only choke down her rage. This wasn’t the time. She didn’t want Sean to be caught in the middle of their fight. Still, don’t let me find out what you did behind my son’s back, Lyla! she thought as her heart boiled with hatred.

After Lyla hung up on her, Kris didn’t look good. She knew what kind of woman Lyla was. Nonetheless, they had a common enemy. The enemy of her enemy was her friend. This wasn’t the time for her to fall out with Lyla. But, the scene of Myra flirting with Tony set the rage in her heart ablaze.

Tony dropped Myra off somewhere near the Stark Tower.

Taking her time to unfasten her seatbelt, Myra glanced at the man beside her. In the past, Tony would have leaned over and kissed her before she got out. However, he showed no sign of doing that today.

Remembering that they had just made up with each other, Myra bit her lip, unfastened her seatbelt, and took the initiative to approach him before she kissed the corner of his pursed lips. “Can you pick me up tonight?”

The man turned around and looked at her with arched brows. “Aren’t you afraid that the others would see us?”

Myra knew he said that on purpose. Thus, she reached out and pulled his hand that was resting on the steering wheel and shook it. “So what if they see us? They’ll find out that you’re mine sooner or later anyway.”

At her remarks, Tony’s expression relaxed. He pressed her head toward him and gave her a peck on her forehead. “I’m not sure if I’m busy tonight. If I’m caught up by something, I’ll send Leo to pick you up.”

“Okay.” Myra nodded. Glancing at the ring on her left hand, she felt soft in her heart. Then, she got out of the car.

After she saw Tony’s car leave, she walked back to the Stark Tower, feeling sweet. Unexpectedly, she ran into Kris, who had been waiting for her outside the company. Myra pretended as though she didn’t see her and walked straight into the building.

She was feeling good at the moment. Therefore, she didn’t want to make a fuss. Nevertheless, the fact that she didn’t want to cause trouble didn’t mean that someone else didn’t want to.

Kris had raced back here on purpose because she wanted to find Myra. When she saw Myra, the corners of her lips lifted into an indifferent grin. She approached her, blocking her from moving forward as she sized her up. “Sis, I didn’t know you’re getting better at seducing men. However, as your sister, I have to remind you to be very careful; otherwise, you’ll fail miserably. You should know what you’re capable of and the boundaries before you bite someone. You aren’t supposed to mess with some people. Stop dreaming!” After saying that, she sneered and turned around, walking gracefully back to the company.

Standing at the entrance, Myra stared at her arrogant figure as her brows slowly furrowed. pparently, Kris’ words had a hidden meaning. Is she mad because she found out about my relationship with Tony?

Just like Kris, a disdainful grin found its way across Myra’s lips. It didn’t matter to Myra whether Kris knew about that because Kris would never tell Cameron about the relationship since she herself had eyes for Tony. Telling Cameron would do no good to her. Furthermore, Myra no longer cared whether the father-daughter pair knew about her relationship with Tony. If the Stark Family wants to exploit our relationship and gain something from Tony, I’ll never allow it! Her eyes narrowed at the thought.

After Tony left the Stark Tower, his pursed lips gradually relaxed into a small grin. He had been entertained by Myra’s sweet-talking. As he stared at the ring on his left hand, the grin on his face grew wider. Suddenly, he pulled up the car by the roadside and fell into a moment of contemplation. Then, he pulled his phone out and took a photo of his fingers. The photo was quickly uploaded on his Stories with a caption: ‘I know it’s kind of ugly, but I’ll just wear it’. It was as though he really hated the ring.

Nevertheless, those who saw his post were cursing him silently, I know you’re showing affection in public. There’s no need to pretend!

Elliot: ‘Tony, the ring is so pretty. The one who gave it to you must have put in a lot of effort to choose it!

It must be a gift from Myra, right?’

Usually, Tony despised what Elliot said. However, Elliot suddenly struck him as a smart person today, and he couldn’t help but reply, ‘Yeah’.

Elliot pouted further at his reply, but his fingers continued to tap out the words he didn’t really mean:

‘Tsk, tsk. It looks like Myra really loves you. I’ve never seen a woman who took the initiative to give a man a ring. Indeed, Myra is very unique.’. He managed to flatter Tony with every word he sent.

When the others saw his comment, they couldn’t help but spurn him.

Unlike them, the corners of Tony’s lips lifted further. She really loves me?

He took another glance at the ring on his finger and arched an eyebrow as if he didn’t care. It’s just a ring. Is it really worth it for Elliot to exaggerate like that? Be that as it may, his mood had obviously brightened up.

During the afternoon, Leo told him that Bradfort University would be holding ‘Bradfort City’s Road to Success Conference’ tomorrow, and the principal had formally sent Tony an invitation letter.

The university had invited most of their notable alumni. However, because the current students had been looking up to Tony, the principal decided to comply with their wishes and invited him at the last minute. Usually, Leo would never show him this kind of letter. Nevertheless, today…

Tony tossed away the pen in his hand. Looking up at his secretary, he raised an eyebrow. “Reason.”

When Tony was working, he normally held the cigarette with his right index and middle fingers. When he needed to write something, he would hold it between his thin lips. Nonetheless, he was holding the cigarette with his left hand today. After he said that, he put the cigarette back between his thin lips.

Leo was very observant. Immediately, he noticed the ring on Tony’s left hand and understood why his boss was in a good mood when he went to his house this afternoon. Quickly, he began, “Bradfort University is Miss Stark’s alma mater. I heard that the principal also sent her an invitation letter since she’s an outstanding designer. Apart from Miss Stark, Director Chase from the Chase Group is amongst the invitees as well…”

When Leo mentioned Sean, he held his breath to avoid provoking his boss, acting as if he was just mentioning the fact. Soon, he heard his boss’s low voice that carried a hint of disdain. “That brat is considered one of the successful people in Bradfort City too?”

Leo wanted to laugh. Although he had a prejudice against Sean, he had to admit that Sean was considered one of the young talents in Bradfort City, though he didn’t agree with his despicable behavior.

“So…” He continued to ask tentatively, “Are you going to accept the invitation from Bradfort City’s principal and attend the conference, Director Hart?”

Tony narrowed his eyes at his question. Then, he put out the cigarette on the ashtray.

“Clear out my schedule for tomorrow.”
