Chapter 260
Standing Before Love
After she left, Estelle stared begrudgingly at the man in front of her, who had a faint smile on his lips.
Suddenly, she gave Shawnâs waist a hard pinch. âWhat was she doing here? Why were you guys so close just now? If I didnât come in, were you just going to let her adjust your tie?â
Estelleâs tone was extremely unpleasant.
Kris could be considered the first woman Estelle hated. Since she met Myra, she had been at odds with Kris! Not to mention, all the despicable things she did to Myra did nothing to help her reputation!
Moreover, the fact that Shawn didnât dodge her advances at the first second greatly dissatisfied her!
When Shawn felt her pinch, he grimaced in pain. Raising an eyebrow, he reached out to hold Estelleâs hand. He had been hugging her, but now, he leaned against the desk and gathered her into his arms.
âJealous?â
âAs if! Shawn, donât forget what I said last night. If you dare to look for another woman, Iâll definitely hang you up and cut off yourââ Her behavior during the day was indeed different from the nighttime.
They were in an office in the city hall, after all, so Estelle didnât finish her sentence, but her eyes were opened wide threateningly!
âI remember you saying that. Then, Estelle, do you remember the other things you said to me last night? For example, about being engaged to me?â
A gleam flashed across Estelleâs eyes.
Today, she wanted to find Shawn to clarify everything, but she didnât expect Krisâ appearance.
She wanted to take back what she just said, but she knew that justice wasnât on her side.
She bit her lip, but Shawn simply released a soft sigh. âKris came to rescind the Stark Groupâs application for the Central Square project. Nothing couldâve happened between us. But, youâre obviously jealous, so why do you keep on rejecting me?â
Seeing that Shawn was beginning to display the gentleness that he learned from who-knew-where again, Estelle clenched the hands that she left hanging by her sides. Then, she looked up. âDid you just say that Kris came to rescind the application for the Central Square project?â
â¦
When Myra received Estelleâs call, she had just come out of the conference room.
Cameron had returned her bid for the Central Square project and had unceremoniously judged it at the meeting. His sharp words kept a frown on Myraâs face, and it deepened when she heard what Estelle told her.
Kris wouldnât dare rescind the application for the Central Square project on her own, so this decision was definitely the result of her discussion with Cameron.
However, Cameron didnât bring it up just now.
âHave you decided to be with Shawn?â Myra didnât miss the anger and jealousy in her voice when Estelle mentioned how Kris tried to hook up with Shawn. Due to this, her furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
âI never said that!â Estelle was still a little stubborn.
Just now, although she didnât agree with Shawn, she didnât refuse either and had simply changed the topic. She was a little worried and a little uncertainâ¦
âI just wanted to inform you about this. I donât know what on earth Kris is doing! But, she seemed to have really good judgment as always!â
Myra understood what Estelle meant.
Kris never much cared about how much a man loved her; as long as the man was up to her standards, she would like them.
Obviously, the Hart brothers fulfilled all her criteria!
Thinking of how Kris drooled over Tony and Shawn at the same time, Myra felt sick.
After telling Estelle not to treat Shawn too unfairly, Myra hung up the phone.
Somehow, she found that something was off about Kris and Cameronâs actions.
While waiting for the elevator with a group of people, Myra rubbed her temples as she watched the elevator come up floor by floor. Tilly was behind her.
Very quickly, the elevator arrived. But, as she waited for the group of people to go in first, the woman standing inside caused Myra to stay frozen in place and purse her lips.
âMiss Stark, it wouldnât do you good to always escape like this, right? You know that Tony and I fell in love with each other a long time ago in the States, but you still snatched him away from me, not caring about your status as a married woman! Miss Stark, donât you know the meaning of shame?â
Before everyone got into the elevator, the woman, Gemma, walked out and snapped at her.
The people who were waiting with Myra were the employees who just attended the meeting on Cameronâs floor.
Almost every departmentâs director, managers, and their secretaries were present. At this moment, a large group of them were gathered around the elevator.
Gemmaâs words immediately attracted everyoneâs attention.
Myra didnât know if she had done it on purpose. While everyone was in a daze, she deliberately stood at the elevator entrance, not letting anyone go up. Soon, the elevator door closed automatically and went down.
Yesterday, Tony and Myra had angered her, so of course, she poured all her hatred onto Myra! If Myra hadnât pretended to be weak and innocent last night, Tony wouldnât have helped her and treated me like that! In the end, I was kicked out of the Hart Residence!
Fortunately, she called her brother last night, which was why she had the chance to enter Stark Tower today!
Malice was clearly written on her face, but there was a layer of grievance and unwillingness in her eyes. She swept her gaze over the people who had begun to exchange whispers.
She had spoken well, and the effect was better than she thought.
Myraâs brows furrowed slightly. Not everyone could easily come up to Cameronâs floor, and Gemma had obviously come up to find her, so who was helping her?
Myra turned to look directly at Tilly. âCall for security. A woman has come to create trouble on President Starkâs floor, so get someone to come and drag her down.â
Tilly was looking at the woman in front of them with displeasure, wondering where on earth she came from and why she spewed such crazy things as soon as she arrived. Upon hearing Myraâs order, she hurriedly agreed and took out her phone to call for security from below.
âMiss Stark, are you feeling guilty? So what if you find someone to take me away?! After all the underhanded things youâve done, arenât you going to admit to doing them? Itâs no wonder the Chase Family abandoned you! How dare a woman like you get involved with the Hart Family? Even if you cheated while you were married, why did you have to steal my man? Tony and I were already engaged.
Miss Stark, what do you think youâre doing? You should let everyone else be the judge!â
Gemma spoke in vivid detail, and she got so emotional that she couldnât help but cry.
Noticing that people around her were pointing and criticizing, Myraâs face sank at once.
âMiss Walton, Sean and I divorced by mutual consent. As for Tony, I only got together with him after the divorce⦠Please donât talk nonsense. Besides, Tony has never told me that he was engaged to another woman. Otherwise, I donât think he wouldâve worn the same ring as me.â
Myra lifted her left hand, and the impressive ring on her middle finger entered everyoneâs view.
Recently, the news of Myra getting together with Tony Hart of the Hart Group was the topic of entertainment for the employees at the Stark Group.
Who didnât know that after she divorced Sean, instead of being devastated, she had unexpectedly found an even better man?
However, today they discovered that the situation didnât seem like what they thought it was.
Otherwise, why would this woman say such provocative things so blatantly?
