Chapter 191
Standing Before Love
My little grandson has always been rebellious and undisciplined. I shouldnât have sent him to the United States back then. All he did there was learn a bunch of bad habits! Itâs still broad daylight outside, how can he be so depraved?! Sebastianâs aged face turned even redder. He also became angrier. âIf you donât open the door, I will call Myra instead! She will surely open the door for me!â
He acted as if he was going to call Myra with the phone in his hand. In reality, he was only friends with her on Facebook. He did not have her phone number. He had messaged her on Messenger, but she had yet to reply to him. He also called Tonyâs number just now, but Tonyâs phone had been turned off. If Kris had not mentioned that she saw Myra and Tony heading inside, I would have left a long time ago!
At the mention of Myraâs name, Tony narrowed his eyes slightly. Meanwhile, Sebastian stared straight into Tonyâs eyes. Their gazes collided and clashed like a lightning storm. After a long while, Tony stuck one hand into his pocket and looked at the stubborn old man in front of him with a fake smile. âJust this once; Iâm returning the favor I owe you for Hilliville.â
This f*cking b*stard! Sebastian uttered a string of expletives in his heart. How can he say that he is returning the favor involving tens of billions just by inviting me in for lunch with that unwilling expression of his?! Even an earthworm is better than this f*cking ungrateful grandson! Cursing non-stop in his head, he was tempted to perform a shoulder throw on the man standing in front of him. He is practically begging for a beating. Even so, he resisted the temptation. He coldly and mockingly looked at the man that was opening the gate. âIâm surprised you still remember the help I gave you for Hilliville. Should I be grateful that youâre willing to let me in and benevolently give me a free lunch?â
âQuickly eat and go home,â Tony coldly added.
Sebastian suddenly thought to himself, itâs such a miracle that I managed to live until Iâm 80! He walked inside, feeling down. At the same time, he was thinking about how to punish this unfilial grandson of his!
The gate only allowed Sebastian to pass through before closing again without further ado. Kris had been pretending to follow Sebastian inside as if it was only natural for her to do so. Thus, her expression changed slightly when the gate closed. Despite that, she forced a kind smile on her face.
âDirector Hart, I came here to discuss the Elsinore Garden Project with you. Andâ¦â
A trace of hatred flashed across her eyes. She had understood the situation from the conversation between Tony and Sebastian just now. Not only did Sebastian know that Myra was Tonyâs girlfriend, but he seemed to hold a favorable impression toward Myra. That clearly indicated one thingâTony was serious about Myra and it wasnât just a fling. When such a dangerous signal flashed through her head, she immediately panicked. Even so, she wasnât one to give up so easily as long as she still had a chance!
âVisit Sis while Iâm at it.â After considering all sorts of scenarios, she decided that she could adapt to the situation and react as she saw fit as long as she managed to follow them inside.
âYou can look at her from here.â Tony didnât even bother to look at her as he turned and headed inside.
Behind him, Krisâ expression turned livid. âMyraâ⦠He is addressing her in such an affectionate manner! The rage that filled her heart expanded like a balloon filled with hydrogen gasâjust a little bit more and the balloon would explode. She tightly clenched her hands that were hanging by her sides into fists.
Ever since she received her fatherâs approval, she immediately made plans to pursue Tony romantically. On another note, the Hart Group had announced their acquisition of Hilliville today and were aggressively hyping it up. As far as anybody was concerned, Myra, who held a 40% stake in Hilliville, was immeasurably valuable right now! I canât believe Myra managed to score such luck! Iâm pretty certain Seanâs appearance just now wasnât because of anybodyâit was because of Hilliville!
What about Tony? Is he doing this for Hilliville? Or, does he actually have feelings for Myra?
The sense of crisis grew stronger and stronger. Myra has been suppressing me ever since her divorce from Sean. She no longer runs away from her problems like how she used to. She also learned how to fight back with what she has. Didnât she return to the Stark Group for the sake of taking back the company? Will Tony help her?! For a moment, the fear made Kris feel as if she had fallen into a freezing abyss.
Sebastianâs expression was very grim. When he arrived at the garage, he naturally stood in place and did not venture further inside. Meanwhile, Tony walked past him and entered the garage.
Myra had heard the conversation outside clearly. As her legs had been stiff just now, she couldnât get out of the car. Now that she finally recovered from the cramps, she wanted to get out of the car.
However, she suddenly found herself in a clean and faintly minty embrace.
Lifting her head, she came face-to-face with Tonyâs chin, which had a faint shade of stubble on it. Then, she suddenly bit his chin viciously. Her eyes were full of rage. âAre you satisfied now, Tony Hart?!â Iâve never met such a shameless person in my life! Old Master Hart wants to have lunch with us today! How am I supposed to face him now?! Besides, he also saw the box that Estelle posted to me back at my apartment the other day⦠She felt like dying suddenly. Everybody else has best friends and boyfriends that support them. Why do I only get ones that sabotage me?!
âSatisfied? Do you think Iâll be satisfied with just that?â Tony countered, narrowing his eyes and looking at her instead.
Her face turned redder than Sebastianâs. She was so furious that she couldnât get the words out.
He nonchalantly added, âStill, Grandpa is pretty satisfied. If you can produce a great-grandchild for him right away, he will be even more satisfied.â
âTony! Hart!â She pinched him hard. Unfortunately, she couldnât pinch his firm muscles and only hurt her hand instead. Still, she quickly buried her head in the manâs chest againâthey had already left the garage.
Following that, she heard Sebastian scoffing loudly. The blush crept from her face down to her neck.
Despite that, she endured the embarrassment, lifted her head, and uncomfortably called out, âOld Master Hartâ¦â
âHmph!â Sebastian turned his head away and walked toward the villa. However, he was stopped by Tonyâs words. âThe ingredients are in the trunk of the car. If you want to eat lunch, bring them in yourself.â After saying that, Tony brushed past Sebastian and strode forward.
Sebastian stood motionless, his expression flashing with various shades of fury. A long while later, he angrily went to the trunk of the car and brought out the two bags of stuff inside.
Meanwhile, Myra entered the villa and struggled to get down from Tonyâs arms. The villa wasnât large, so she quickly figured out where the rooms were on the ground floor and entered the bathroom. When she came out, she didnât spare a glance at Tony and headed straight into the kitchen.
Inside the kitchen, the contents of the two bags had been sorted and neatly placed into the refrigerator.
Myra was studying the refrigerator in a daze when a head popped in from the outside. When Sebastian saw that Myra had seen him, he cleared his throat slightly, walked into the kitchen sternly, and glanced sideways at her. âFor lunch, I want to eat steamed fish, sweet and sour pork, braised chicken with chestnutsââ
âWe only have spinach.â Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the man that had walked over. Tony glanced at Myra and dispassionately said, âCook some rice and some spinach. Weâll make do with that.â
Sebastian immediately lost his temper. âDamn it! You know I donât eat spinach! Youâre doing this on purpose!â
âYou can eat that or leave; I donât care.â Tonyâs expression was aloof.
Seeing that the two men were about to start bickering again, Myra chased them out of the kitchen with a cranky expression.
Sebastian looked at the tightly closed door, the corners of his mouth trembling slightly as he glared at Tony. âLook at what terrible temper the woman you chose has!â
