Chapter 212

Kris had a high standard for men. At that moment, she felt that not many men were worthy of her except for Tony.

However, it did not stop her from having fun with other men, but at the same time, she knew that those men could only provide her with temporary happiness as they weren’t her choice of marriage partner.

In the past, if this man were to openly hold her in his arms at the company, her face would have turned cold at the start. However, her heart today was filled with many grievances and rage. Furthermore, it so happened that Cameron and Rachel did not comfort her after the incident, but instead, they made her feelings worse, which was why the man’s actions felt a little warmer to her, especially the concern in his eyes for her without even asking a question…

“What else could it be? Other than Myra, who else would do this to me…” Her eyes started to turn red as tears rolled down her face.

Hayden felt distressed and angry at the same time as he tightened his arms around Kris. “How dare she hit you! Didn’t you say that you have a plan to kick her out of the Stark Group? How did you allow her to take advantage of you?” Seeing the slight change in Kris’ expression, he patted her back.

“Alright. She must have used some despicable trick! Kris, don’t be upset. Myra is just a woman who was abandoned by Sean. Besides, your father doesn’t even like her and he hates her coming back to the Stark Group. One day, you’ll be able to kick her out of the company! My Kris is always the best!”

The man landed a soft kiss on her forehead as he gently comforted her.

Kris felt that among the men that she had dated before, it was not a surprise that she liked Hayden the most.

Since he was second in line to the Fuller Corporation, he had quite a good background. Even though he wasn’t the direct heir to the company, she still wished to hear more of his comforting words whenever she was in an angry mood.

Then, she turned and landed a kiss on Hayden’s thin lips as a reward.

Unexpectedly, the moment she landed her kiss, Hayden’s eyes immediately darkened as he pressed her against the back of the door. Then, he lowered his head and tried to suck all the sweetness from her lips vigorously.

His body was strong, but it wasn’t that muscular. As his burning hot body leaned on Kris, it quickly made her lose her mind a little. Suddenly, the thin lips were withdrawn, but soon after, it was back again and this time, it came with an object with a somewhat rough texture.

At first, Kris was startled as she took a look at the necklace Hayden gave her using his mouth.

Instantly, her eyes lit up.

It was the True Love diamond that she liked a lot when she saw it at an auction in New York some time ago. At that time, she simply mentioned it to him, but because the price was too expensive and she didn’t have much time on her schedule, she ended up missing the auction. However, she didn’t expect him to buy it for her.

Kris’ face was filled with surprise and joy. “Hayden, didn’t you say that you are short of cash recently?

Did your brother allow you to invest the funds in loose stocks? Where did you get the money to buy this…”

The light in Hayden’s eyes flickered inexplicably as he immediately carried her in her arms and walked toward the couch. “Baby, I can give up everything for you.”

Kris was familiar with the warmth in his eyes, but now that she was in a good mood and she just received a gift that she really liked, she did not mind to satisfy the man in front of her.

After that, Hayden was considerate enough to give her some birth control pills. He promised that he wouldn’t put her in a difficult situation by impregnating her before deciding to marry her.

In Kris’ heart, she felt a little pity. If only this man is Tony. If that’s the case, I wouldn’t be upset and angry.

However, as soon as she thought of Tony, she couldn’t help but think of that woman—Myra!

Hayden is right. One day, I’ll kick her out of the Stark Group myself, but now, I must bear with it!

When Myra found out that Rachel was inviting her to the Stark Residence for a meal, she couldn’t help but feel ironic, especially when she realized that the person sent to invite her was Kris. Not only that, she even apologized to Myra herself even though there weren’t any emotions on her face.

However, Myra accepted their invitation this time.

She felt that Rachel wouldn’t be kind enough to invite her over for a meal, but since she did so, she wanted to see what other tricks the woman had for her. Other than that, she also wanted to confirm whether Rachel was really pregnant or not. Since I’m going to the Stark Residence tonight, I’ll probably not leave.

However, after thinking about it, Myra packed her stuff as she planned to go to the Hart Group to have lunch with the man.

When she went downstairs, it just happened to be the peak time for lunch. Therefore, many people were talking about Thomas in the elevator.

“Did you hear about it? Mr. Hughes was reported today for corruption and bribery. Now, he has loads of charges stacked against him, so he has been dismissed from his position for further investigation. Tsk. To be honest, several projects in our company were approved by him. I wonder if it would affect us.”

“Even if it does, it has nothing to do with staff like us.” Another person joined the conversation.

“I also heard that Mr. Hughes was beaten up into a pulp after offending someone. All of his limbs are now broken, but people like him deserve it! How dare he use our taxes to support his own mistress! He always looked like a gentleman to me in the past, so I didn’t expect him to be involved in such filth!

Serves him right!”

The crowd obviously did not notice Myra, so the discussion became more intense.

When Myra heard that several projects in the Stark Group were related to Thomas, she couldn’t help but furrow her brows slightly. However, when she heard that he was beaten up to a pulp, she was left dumbfounded.

When Tilly and I met Mr. Hughes and his subordinate last night, his face still looked fine, which means that he was beaten up last night?

As for the culprit who whacked him, she more or less knew who it was.

Immediately, she felt a sense of warmth in her heart. While coming out of the elevator, she purposely waited for everyone to head out first.

Then, she called a cab outside, but when she arrived at the lobby of the Hart Group, she started to feel a little nervous.

It wasn’t easy to meet Tony in the Hart Group; otherwise, he would be annoyed to death given the enormous amount of people wanting to meet him every day.

Luckily, she had Leo’s number, so she could give him a call first if she did not know whether Tony was busy with his work.

Less than two minutes after the call ended, Leo appeared in front of Myra. For some reason, Myra somehow felt that there was a hint of flattery in his eyes when he glanced at her. Also, it was the way Leo kept on addressing her…

“Mrs. Hart, Director Hart is still having his meeting in the meeting room, but he’ll be done soon. You can rest in his office first. Mrs. Hart, have some lemon juice. Mrs. Hart, I’ll be in the room next door. Please call me if you need any help.”

Cough!

Myra let out an awkward cough and halted Leo. “Mr. Clark, I think you better call me ‘Miss Stark’ like before.”

“Alright, Mrs. Hart.”

Instantly, she was rendered speechless.

Just as he was about to leave Tony’s office, Myra simply asked a question since she felt a bit bored waiting here. “Mr. Clark, has Director Hart… eaten his lunch today?”

Understanding what she was about to do afterward, Leo immediately shook his head. “No, he hasn’t. I have too many matters to attend to, so I didn’t have the time to buy lunch for him downstairs today.”

The intention in his words was obvious as it made Myra even more nervous. “Then, I’ll go down to buy for him.” After taking two steps, she turned. “Should I buy one for you too, Mr. Clark?”

Instantly, Leo felt a thump in his heart. Is she joking? How can I have the same treatment as Director Hart?!

He quickly shook his head. “I’m going out for lunch with my colleagues later.”

In the end, she nodded her head and went downstairs.

When Myra went upstairs earlier, everyone in the Hart Group saw how polite Leo was toward her. As soon as she came down, the lady at the reception quickly gave her a bright smile. “Miss Stark, have a good day.”
