Chapter 281
Standing Before Love
According to Tonyâs status and position, he could have any woman he wanted, so why would he want a divorced woman? But if we are talking about marriage, the situation is totally different.
Therefore, Jordanâs gaze inexplicably became more serious.
Suddenly, Tony patted his shoulder and murmured, âMy grandpa is already making arrangements for the wedding, so itâll probably happen in the next two months.â
Immediately, a hint of surprise flashed through Jordanâs eyes. Looks like Old Master Hart has agreed to this. All of a sudden, he couldnât help but feel impressed as he looked at Myra. If a divorced woman like her, who has lots of scandals surrounding her, can receive Old Master Hartâs approval of joining the Hart Family, it means that either she is a godlike manipulator or thereâs something wrong with the news that broke out yesterday. According to my sharp sense toward gossip, thereâs definitely a possibility that yesterdayâs news is fake. However, since she is about to join the Hart Family, it wonât hurt to make another friend. Therefore, he raised his brows and glanced at Tony playfully. âIs that why you came here today, Director Hart? To give me this piece of exclusive news?â
Truth was, Jordan had already understood everything.
There isnât any actual evidence about last nightâs news so the more they try to clarify it, the hotter this topic becomes. In the end, Myra will only be discredited even more. However, if we deal with it from another angle, everything will turn out differently. If the Hart Family announces the marriage of Tony and Myra under these circumstances, it will only lead others to question the reasoning behind it. There is nothing about Myra that the Hart Family would want, which can only mean that yesterdayâs news is fake, because the Hart Family wonât be stupid enough to allow a scandalous woman to join their family.
As long as we incite this idea among the people, the conversation will quickly turn toward Myraâs favor, and the image of a woman who just divorced a playboy will easily capture the publicâs heart.
Tony raised his brows indifferently. âYou can see this as me paying you back the favor.â
Jordan sighed inwardly. He really is a shrewd businessman. He claims that he is now paying me back but actually, he is the one who gains the most from this. However, the exclusive news of the Hart Familyâs heirâs wedding is still enough for me to earn tons of money for a whole month.
Immediately, Jordan smiled brightly. âAlright, then. We have a deal.â He then winked at Myra as he continued, âIf you have any other gossip in the future, feel free to hit me up. Looking forward to working together!â
During the whole conversation, Myra didnât say a word because Tony didnât mention yesterdayâs incident at all, so her preparations were totally useless. Not only that, she could see that Tony had a good relationship with Jordan, so she didnât want to interrupt them. However, when she heard Tony saying that their wedding was only two months away, she looked at him in shock.
Seeing her surprised look, Tonyâs eyes became a lot more gentle as he murmured, âDonât you want to marry me as soon as possible?â
Why is he still this shameless in front of Jordan? Myraâs face blushed slightly as she glared at him.
After a chuckle, he pulled her into his arms. âI canât wait to marry you, though.â
Seeing Tony openly showing his affection toward Myra, Jordan was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the floor. At this moment, he finally saw the weird bite marks on the chin of Tonyâs usually indifferent face. If my guess is right, only Miss Stark can reach such a difficult place to bite him. Now, Jordan couldnât help but admit that this junior of his had completely fallen head over heels for her.
â¦
Jordan and Tony were both men of action and soon after, a press release was in place. Before leaving, Jordan saw Tony helping Myra carefully with her jacket, which caused him to sigh again. After their goodbyes, the three of them went their separate ways.
The moment Myra got into the car, she looked at Tony and asked, âHave you⦠spoken to your grandpa about our wedding?â
After all, Sebastian was already infuriated by what happened yesterday. If he keeps this a secret from his grandpa again, heâll probably be scolded once more tonight. Even though Myra could see that Sebastian wasnât a stubborn person, she still couldnât forget about the scar on Tonyâs back.
âDoes it matter? Heâs not the one marrying you.â Tonyâs voice was calm.
Upon hearing his tone, Myra could guess that he was planning to tell him afterward, which made her feel a little resigned. However, she knew that he was doing all this just for her. Thinking about it, she grabbed the manâs hand and said, âI think we should go back to the Hart Residence tonight.â
After her recent interactions with Lisa and Sebastian, she realized that the two of them actually hoped that Tony would visit them more often. Although Sebastian might be a little harsh at times, he still cared for Tony a lot.
After turning around and looking at her, Tony understood her intentions but he let it slide. Then, he started the engine and smiled faintly. âAlright.â
â¦
At first, Tony wanted to bring Myra home to have a rest but she insisted on going to the company, so he could only send her there.
When they arrived at the Stark Group, countless people looked at them the minute the car stopped.
After what happened yesterday, the Stark Groupâs staff were especially concerned about Myra. Initially, everyone thought that the Hart Group would be enraged by what happened yesterday and forbid Myra from ever joining the family. As for Tony, everyone assumed that he would break up with her just to preserve his reputation.
However, what surprised them the most was the article published just now by the most authoritative entertainment newspaper in the city about Myra marrying the heir of Bradfort Cityâs wealthiest familyâ
the Hart Family. Now, the news had spread all over the Internet. Not only was Myra not abandoned by the Hart Family, she even got the quick approval of the elders of the Hart Family to hold her wedding with the director of the Hart Group, Tony Hart, in the next two months!
This was incredible and just when everybody saw the news, Tony personally sent Myra to the company as per usual.
Through his attitude, everyone could see that he had never planned to abandon her.
Some of the staff of the Stark Group were already impatient to know more because this wasnât something normal that an elite family would do, unless there was a misunderstanding.
Of course, Myra didnât know the huge change inside the hearts of those who followed her gossip closely in just an hour. In the end, she said goodbye to Tony before walking straight into the company as usual.
When passing by the front desk of the company, the receptionist even greeted her enthusiastically.
Even though Myra was a little surprised, she smiled and replied, âGood morning to you too.â
However, she didnât know that as soon as she left, the receptionist immediately turned toward her computer and quickly typed out something on the keyboard.
âI think that video is fake; otherwise, why would the Hart Family announce Miss Stark and Director Hartâs wedding under these circumstances? I think everyone should stop criticizing her. Itâs obvious that someone did this to Miss Stark out of jealousy!â
After typing that, she quickly pressed âsendâ before exiting the forum and continuing to look for other information.
In just two hours, the conversation took a huge turn as everyone began to defend Myra instead of discrediting her. Before Myra could even react to it, she seemed to be deemed innocent for some reason.
Soon after, even the director of the Chase Group, Sean Chase, stood out as Myraâs ex-husband to speak up for her, saying that yesterdayâs video was just a ploy to frame her. Also, he claimed that the reason for their divroce was purely because the two of them were incompatible.
