Chapter 261
Standing Before Love
However, upon seeing the ring on Myraâs hand, the crowd fell silent. There was a financial talk show two days ago, and the guest of the interview was none other than Tony Hartâthe president of the Hart Group.
At that time, apart from the trivial economic problems, the host was very interested in the ring on his hand. When asked if the day of the wedding was approaching, Tony casually answered âyesâ. Right then, the affection on his face and the tenderness in his eyes when he looked at the ring nearly drowned everyone on and off screen!
That particular talk show had shocked the entire Bradfort City, and they even showed a close-up shot of the ring. In fact, the employees of the Stark Group noticed that Myra had on the same-style ring, but it was only at this moment that they were certain that both of them were wearing couple rings!
When Gemma saw the ring on Myraâs hand, her expression instantly turned unpleasant. Needless to say, Gemma wasnât unfamiliar with that ring. When she first returned to Bradfort City, she already noticed the strange ring on Tonyâs finger, but obviously, the man who was impatient with her wouldnât tell her anything about the ring. Now that Myra had revealed the answer, Gemma felt a fiery sense of shame burning inside her, and she wanted so badly to tear the woman in front of her to shreds!
âIs that so? But, as far as I know, you and Director Chase got divorced because you had long been suspected of wanting to hook up with Tony. You sold the secrets of the Chase Familyâs Hilliville Project to the Hart Family to get closer to them. After the Chase Family obtained evidence, you knew that you were going to be exposed, and you even went all the way to the golf course to beg Tony. At that time, the paparazzi took a lot of photos. The Chase Family spread stories about you staying in Tonyâs office an entire night before you even divorced Director Chase. Myra, what else can you say to argue?â
Gemma stared unblinkingly at the woman in front of her. Since she dares to be with Tony, she has to pay the price!
Immediately, the crowd erupted into a chorus of âwoahsâ. Some things were just rumors, so they didnât dare discuss them too openly. After all, they had all personally witnessed Tony taking care of the Stark Groupâs general managerâMyra.
But, she got together with Tony right after divorcing Sean. Did Miss Stark really not betray Director Chase during their marriage?
Noticing everyoneâs suspicious and condemning gazes, Myra sneered inwardly. Gemma was trying to ruin her reputation in front of everyone on purpose.
Myra looked indifferently at the woman in front of her, who was clearly prepared, and her gaze turned cold. âMiss Walton, do show evidence before you say such things. Youâve just returned, so you might not know the laws in this country. Your remarks just now are enough to constitute a crime of defamation.â
âWhether or not itâs defamation, we donât know yet!â Gemma looked delightedly at Myra. This was all thanks to her brother, who had helped her investigate everything. This b*tch went so far as to hook up Tony while she was married! At that time, did Tony know that she was a married woman? Tony must have been deceived by her, which is why heâs still with her now!
âDonât stand here anymore. Go do what youâre supposed to do! Whatâs so interesting here? Thereâs nothing more than a feral dog trying to bite people!â Tilly sensed that something was wrong, so she wanted to quickly disperse the onlooking crowd.
âDonât do that. Since youâre not guilty, why would you be afraid of other people hearing stuff? Myra, are you bold enough to swear? Are you bold enough to say that you didnât do anything to betray Director Chase during your marriage?! Are you bold enough to say that you didnât approach Tony while you were married?!â Gemmaâs expression was no longer the picture of feigned grievances and resignation.
Now, she appeared arrogantâlike a peacock that didnât want to let go.
âWhy wouldnât I be bold enough to admit all that!?â Myraâs face darkened.
Clap, clap, clap. Gemma clapped. Mockery was written all over her face. âI really despise women like you! Itâs a good thing the Chase Family cut off relations with you. Whoever gets involved with you will be infected with bad luck! But, do you really think I donât have a way?â
All of a sudden, Gemma took out her phone, where a video had been paused. While Myra stared coldly at her, Gemma pressed the play button, and the video immediately started playing in front of everyone.
The look on everyoneâs faces changed from curiosity to suspicion and shock! All these happened in merely two to three minutes.
Myra knew what kind of video it was as soon as she saw the scene at which the video was paused.
She had seen the video a few months ago. It was the one that Sasha had picked out and given to Sean âwhere she was running out of Tonyâs hotel room in a disheveled state. Not only did the video catch her in an awkward situation, but it also clearly showed who the hotel room that she ran out of belonged to.
Myra tightly clenched her fists that were hanging by her sides.
âMyra, are you still going to argue now?!â Gemmaâs gaze became aggressive. Taking a step forward, she stood right in front of Myra before lifting her head and staring intently at her. âNow, thereâs evidence to show what kind of a woman you are. I also have a photo of you leaving Tonyâs office, and that photo can prove that you stayed in his office all night before you and Director Chase got divorced! Didnât you swear that you didnât do anything to betray Director Chase during your marriage? Didnât you say you didnât get close to Tony while you were still married? Then, what is this?â
Gemma felt extremely happy. If you had been sensible and left Tony that day, I might have only taught you a simple lesson. But, since you didnât recognize the favor I was giving you, you canât blame me for being cruel!
âMyra, why donât you explain yourself in the presence of everyone at the Stark Group? Why were you in Tonyâs room that day? Why did you run out of Tonyâs room looking disheveled? Donât tell us that you just went in to have a chat with Tony. Everyone here has a brain, so you donât need to waste everyoneâs time by talking nonsense.â
âWho do you think you are? What right do you have to come here and say all these to Miss Stark?
Miss, if you donât have an appointment, then Iâm sorry. Stark Tower is not a wet market where anyone can just walk in!â
As soon as Tilly finished speaking, a âdingâ sounded to indicate that the elevator had reached their floor.
The elevator doors opened and three security guards were standing inside. Tilly relaxed in an instant, and she hurriedly waved to the three of them. âSecurity, here! Itâs this woman. I donât know how the people downstairs allowed her to come up. Sheâs been up here creating a fuss for a long while. Hurry up and get her out of Stark Tower!â
The three security guards hurried over and were about to grab Gemmaâs arm. âMiss, Iâm sorry, but please leave Stark Tower immediately!â
The three security guards were a little nervous because she was causing trouble on Cameronâs floor.
They were afraid that Cameron would place the blame on them and they would lose their jobs.
âLet go!â Gemma broke away from the security guardsâ grasps, then looked sharply at Myra. âMyra, what is it? Are you so eager to kick me out of Stark Tower because you were caught red-handed?
Didnât you say that you didnât do those things? Then, can I take your silence as acquiescence? Werenât you going to sue me for defamation? Why donât you call the police right now?â
