Chapter 211
Standing Before Love
Upon hearing Myraâs words, Tilly immediately shook her head. âMiss Stark, it has nothing to do with you. Itâs all because of that perverted Mr. Hughes. How could we have known that he would do such a thing to us?â
At this point, Tillyâs eyes were filled with mixed emotions.
Myra knew the real mastermind behind all this, but she did not want Tilly to be involved in it any longer, so she comforted her instead.
When Tilly turned and left the office, Myra suddenly noticed a few tiny red marks on the back of her neck. She was no longer the girl that was oblivious to the intimacy between men and women, so she knew that the red marksâ¦
Immediately, she was startled as Tilly had disappeared from her office door.
Today, Kris was forced by Cameron and Rachel to come to work in the office; otherwise, judging from her arrogance and pride, she would never turn up at work with a swollen face.
The two slaps that Cameron gave her last night carried its weight. Even though Kris had already applied some medicine on her face, the effects werenât that significant, which made her even more frustrated.
After she scolded a staff member from the Finance Department, she irritably rose to her full height and walked toward the coffee room with her cup, refusing to let her assistant get the coffee for her.
After what happened last night, she undoubtedly lost the game, but she also realized a crucial point, which was Tonyâs love for Myra. Even though they arenât at the point of dying together, their relationship is still much closer than I can imagine, especially when Tony threatened Dad to hand 5% of the companyâs shares to her.
With that in mind, it was enough to make Kris jealous and panic.
However, although Rachel had a plan to deal with Myra, it still needed Kris to apologize to Myra for it to succeed.
Apologize to Myraâ¦
Thinking about it, she couldnât help but return the two slaps received last night on Myraâs face.
As soon as she glanced at the woman leaning on the door frame of the coffee room, her face immediately darkened. Since she was currently wearing a mask and a pair of sunglasses, no one could notice the change in her expression.
âYouâre here?â While leaning on the door frame, Myra, whom Kris had a huge hatred for, remained calm and greeted her, as if nothing happened last night.
With a cold face, Kris wanted to leave a few sarcastic remarks, but then, she realized that she couldnât say anything today. Therefore, the feeling of resisting her anger made her mood even worse.
Then, her eyes landed on the cup of coffee in Myraâs hand, which still had steam rising from it. It meant that she just poured it not long ago.
âGo away.â Krisâ voice was filled with anger.
âKris, have you forgotten that Iâm your sis? How could you be so rude to me?â Myra giggled, but there wasnât any warmth in her eyes.
Kris sneered, âSis? I thought you didnât want to admit that you are my sister. Myra, stop acting so hypocritical. It makes me want to vomit!â
âYes, I also feel that I was quite hypocritical earlier.â Myra nodded and smiled instead. After meeting Krisâ furious eyes under the sunglasses, she uttered. âThatâs why we should say what we should say and do what we should do.â
With that, she thrusted her hand with the coffee cup forward while remaining emotionless, pouring the cup of burning hot coffee at Kris.
âAhhh!â A sharp painful scream was heard as Kris removed her sunglasses and mask hurriedly without any hesitation.
The coffee was burning hot, but luckily, she had her mask and sunglasses on, so it did not burn the skin of her face as it only turned red.
âMyra, what the hellââ
Slap!
Before she had the chance to finish her words, Myra immediately gave her wounded face a ruthless slap.
At that moment, Kris was almost in disbelief as she lifted her head. She covered her face with one hand while the other trembled as it pointed at Myra. âYou⦠How dare you⦠How dare you do this to me! Do you want to die?! Iâll kill you!â
The rage that she had been suppressing since last night was finally released all at once. As she rushed toward Myra with a fierce look, she was immediately halted by the hurried screams of her assistant behind her. âMiss Kris, letâs leave this place. Weâll talk about it later on. Please donât be rashâ¦â
No one knew what happened to Kris, but as her assistant, she was very well-informed, so she roughly knew what happened last night. After Kris came into the office today, her assistant could figure out that she was slapped last night when Kris looked at her wounded face in the mirror. Her face was so swollen that no one would have known that she was a gorgeous lady.
When her assistant noticed that Kris was getting into a fight with Myra, she immediately thought about what Rachel said to her. So, she dragged Kris away in a hurry to prevent her arguing with Myra.
Also, she heard that Myra had received another 5% of the Stark Groupâs shares. She only just came to the Stark Group, but within a month, not only was she promoted to a general manager, she also managed to receive additional shares of the company. Itâs obvious that she came into the company with intent.
At that moment, Kris was at the verge of insanity, so she wasnât able to listen to what her assistant had to say. As she waved her arms around, she accidentally slapped her assistantâs face.
As the onlookers gathered around them, Myra stared at Kris, who was being held back by her assistant, with stoic eyes. âKris, you should feel lucky that this incident can be settled with just a slap and a cup of coffee. Donât you ever use your motherâs shameless tricks on me ever again or else I wonât be merciful the next time!â
With that, Myraâs eyes grew colder.
For a moment, Kris felt a strange shiver in her heart, but her jealousy and rage made her even more insane afterward as she shouted, âAre you sure itâs just a slap and a cup of coffee?! Myra, you planned this all along, right? You played along with my games so that in the end, youâll get all the benefits. How dare you pretend to be innocent! You b*tch! Sooner or later, I will kick you out of the Stark Group myself! You wonât be proud for long. Just wait and see!â
She kept on shouting as her voice echoed throughout the studio hall.
However, Myra went past the crowd indifferently and left, as if she heard nothing.
The remaining crowd whispered among themselves as they looked at the embarrassed Kris, who was the director of the Project Department.
At first, they thought that she was disfigured, but by the looks of her, she may as well be.
Thinking about what Myra and the embarrassed woman said earlier, everyone couldnât help but shake their heads. Itâs another feud among the elites. Looks like the company wonât be peaceful from now on.
After yelling at the people around her, Kris vented her remaining anger on her assistant before pushing the latter away and walking toward her office.
One day, Iâll make Myra kneel and beg me to be merciful to her! That day will come!
She was no longer wearing her sunglasses and mask as she walked all the way to her office. Those who dared to glance at her were terrified of the rage in her gaze.
When she returned to her office and closed the door, a familiar and gentle body suddenly came up to her before pulling her into his firm chest.
âKris, it has been so long. I miss you.â However, the man seemed to notice that there was something strange with her mannerism, so he gently grabbed her chin and turned her to face him. As soon as he saw her face, his pupils shrank as he was instantly filled with anger. âWhat happened? Who did this to you?!â
