Chapter 263
Standing Before Love
âYou! How dare you say that to me!â Gemma was so angry that her chest was heaving violently, and she suddenly grabbed Myraâs hair before pulling it backward.
Myra was caught off guard, and her scalp felt as if it was going to be torn off by Gemma.
Tears sprang to her eyes because of the pain. The next moment, Tilly grabbed Gemmaâs hair as well.
âLet go of Miss Stark!â
Just now, when Tilly sensed that something was wrong, she had given Tony a call. As soon as the call was connected, she saw Gemma pulling Myraâs hair. She was so shocked that she didnât even bother talking to Tony anymore and quickly went to help Myra.
Gemmaâs scalp hurt, and the pain made her scream. Fortunately, she let go of Myraâs hair.
Tilly rolled up her sleeves and looked at the people in front of her. With an extremely bitter expression, she pointed to the three security guards. âDid you not hear anything just now? I asked you to take her away, so why is she still here?! Is the commotion not big enough yet?!â
She glanced at Gemma, who was in so much pain that she was out of breath for a moment. âAnd you!
Do you think youâre Tonyâs fiancée just because you say you are? Thatâs funny! President Hart has only ever admitted to liking Miss Stark. Who do you think you are? You came and harassed Miss Stark just because you canât get him?â
âAnd you!â Tilly was willing to go all out this time. Without thinking any further, she turned around to look at Cameron. âYouâre Miss Starkâs father. Youâre pretending to be distressed about her, and youâre letting this woman use that strange video to slander Miss Stark! You should be embarrassed to say that youâre her father!â
âAnd all of you!â Tilly glanced at the people around her. Indignation was clear on her face. âIs it fun to stand idly by and watch the excitement? If you have the time to stick your nose in other peopleâs affairs, then why donât you spend some time reflecting on your own life to avoid feeling so lonely and empty that you have to rely on other peopleâs lives to fill your life with excitement?â
After being scolded by Tilly, the faces in the crowd turned unpleasant.
A manager from the human resource department twitched his lips. âItâs not that we want to stick our nose in other peopleâs affairs, but weâre stuck here. What can we say anyway? If you donât want anyone to know what youâve done, itâs better for the general manager to not have done those dirty deeds in the first place, right? Nothing happens for no reason, right?â
âHow dare you say that! Youââ
Seeing that Tilly was burning with rage, Myra took hold of her hand and looked at Cameron. âSo, it seems like Kris has made an alliance with the Young Master of the Walton Family, which is why youâre so confident, President Stark.â
There was less indignation in Myraâs eyes than Tillyâs. The more she remained like this, the calmer she was. Nevertheless, there was a flurry of emotions in those eyes that Cameron couldnât discern. He couldnât help tightly clenching his fists. Myra laughed coldly. âSince you said I cheated during my marriage, then show me proof. Whatâs there to say about a video that canât prove anything? Did you all just watch a video of me cheating on Tony, or did you watch a video of me deliberately fooling around with Tony? Iâm quite surprised with your reaction, President Stark. This has yet to prove anything. You just appear anxious to convict me. Are you afraid that I wonât be accused?â
âMyra, I canât believe youâre still arguing. Well then, tell everyone why you came out of Tonyâs room with your clothes disheveled that day? According to the video, after you entered Tonyâs room, he was inside the whole time. You couldnât have ended up looking so wretched on your own, right?â
Gemma pressed on relentlessly.
Clenching her hands into fists, she calmly lifted her head. âNo matter what, it has nothing to do with you, right, Miss Walton? Why should I tell you?â
âHeh. Apart from feeling guilty, why canât you tell everyone what happened at that time?â Gemma had a venomous smile on her face.
Myra studied the woman in front of her, whose face was slightly contorted. Some people were like this.
The matter obviously had nothing to do with them, but in order to gain personal benefits, they would harm others unscrupulously under the guise of justice.
âMiss Walton, if you think your guess is right, then why donât you just continue thinking that?â Myra was too annoyed to be in Gemmaâs presence any longer, so she didnât bother taking the elevator. Turning around, she walked straight toward the stairs.
However, after just taking two steps, she was stopped by Gemma, who seemed to be constantly lingering.
âMyra, you betrayed Director Chase, yet youâre acting so bold and righteous when you cheated during your marriage. Itâs no wonder Mrs. Chase hated you that much! Myra, youâre so shameless. Does Director Chase know that you cheated on him back then? Does the Hart Family know you cheated?
Have you been hiding it from them all this while?â
âGet out of the way!â Myraâs expression turned cold.
âWhat if I donât? Donât think that you can be so arrogant just because you have Tony backing you up now. Youâre just hiding him from the truth for now! Myra, Iâll definitely let everyone know about the things you did during your marriage. Iâll tell Director Chase, Tony, and the Harts!â
âWhateverââ
Just as Myra was going to say âyou wantâ, a low male voice intervened in their conversation, stopping them amidst their intense battle.
âI wonder what this lady has to tell me?â
Stunned, everyone was frozen in place.
At some point, someone had walked out of the elevator. This person was none other than the man Gemma had repeatedly mentioned just nowâSean, the Director of Chase Group!
He was dressed in a gray suit and white shirt, which made him look sharp and cold. He was expressionless, but when his gaze fell on Myra, a complex emotion fleeted across his face. Then, he looked at Cameron. âInitially, I came here because I had an appointment with President Stark today to discuss some stuff. It seems like I arrived just in time for a good show.â
âYou areâ¦â Gemma frowned slightly.
âMiss, didnât you mention me just now? Why? Donât you even know who I am?â Seanâs face was stony, and his eyes seemed to contain ice, but his whole demeanor exuded slight extravagance.
Cameron reluctantly forced a smile. âTurns out itâs Director Chase. Iâm sorry you had to witness such a ridiculous scene. Something happened in the company just now. Director Chase, why donât you go to the lounge for a cup of tea first? Iâll go over after I deal with the matter here.â
Obviously, they couldnât continue their argument in front of Sean because it was partly about his and Myraâs marriage. If they did, it would utterly embarrass him!
In an instant, Gemma realized who the handsome man in front of her was.
She looked Sean up and down and thought, Heâs talented indeed. At such a young age, heâs already the director of a company. This means that his skills and abilities arenât that simple.
But, after seeing Tony, how could she still put Sean in her sights?
However⦠she heard that after Sean and Myra got divorced, the relationship between the two of them immediately fell apart.
The man next to her even got together with another woman right after.
Gemma figured he hated Myra a lot for him to do something that would humiliate her this much!
Gemmaâs eyes darted around. She wasnât as scrupulous as Cameron. She wouldnât let his value go to waste if she could use it to her benefit!
She looked at Sean with sympathy in her eyes. âDirector Chase, you came here just in time. We were just talking about how Myra betrayed you back then! She messed around outside with no regard for your marriage! I presume you had a deep intuition last time too, which was why you divorced Myra right away!â
Gemma was almost certain that Sean would mock and ridicule Myra, so she smiled triumphantly.
Now, she wanted to see what else Myra could do!
