Chapter 402
Standing Before Love
The couple made love passionately and fell asleep at 3:00 AM. Sleeping late several nights in a row was bad for their health, and Myra felt dizzy.
The next day, Myra woke up at lunchtime. Early that morning, Tony had already given orders to not wake Myra up from her sleep.
Pregnant women needed more rest. Although Myra planned to wake up early the night before, she had overslept and her whole morning was gone.
After lunch, Myra drove straight to Stark Group. It had been a long time since she last visited Stark Group, so she was curious to see what the company looked like. Besides that, with Matthiasâ
intervention, the internal affairs in Stark Group now were even more complicated.
At the lobby of Stark Group, Myra coincidentally bumped into Cameron. Their gazes met for a moment before they both hurriedly looked away.
Myra didnât want to greet Cameron. The thought of his evil misdeeds made her nauseous. My father is only capable of giving me endless despair.
However, surprisingly, Cameron took the initiative to walk up to Myra. Seeing that, Myra didnât know what to do but watch as he slowly approached her.
âMyra.â Cameronâs friendly tone made Myra frown. She didnât want to talk to Cameron, so she glanced at the elevator that was not far away and walked toward it.
However, Cameron was in an extremely good mood that day. He followed behind Myra and waited for the elevator with her, but he kept a short distance.
âAre you ignoring me?â Cameron suddenly took a step forward, narrowing the distance between him and Myra.
âThereâs nothing to talk about,â Myra said coldly. Even though heâs my father, he treats me even worse than a stranger.
âYou can never change the fact that weâre blood-related,â Cameron said mockingly.
âI hope that I can be completely unrelated to you,â Myra muttered as she glanced at the numbers on the elevator display. Why is the elevator so slow?
âHahaha! Letâs see who will win in the end.â Cameronâs good mood was completely unaffected by Myraâs cold words.
âAre you done talking?â Myra grunted as she hurriedly took a step away from Cameron. Today is off to a bad start. I canât believe that I bumped into Cameron. Why am I so unlucky today?
âMyra, how can you speak to your father in such a rude manner?â At that moment, Cameron could no longer bear Myraâs attitude.
âYou are not worthy to be a father because all you care about is profit,â Myra said in disdain. Our family was ruined because of you. Is money really more important than family?
âMyra, donât assume you will definitely win just because you have Tony on your side,â Cameron said furiously. I spoke to her in a friendly tone, but got treated rudely in return.
âI will get Stark Group back with my own strength.â Myra glared at Cameron coldly. I will handle Stark Groupâs affairs myself, and I wonât ask Tony for help unless I have to.
âYou sound confident, but I wonder if you have the capability to achieve it,â Cameron said with a delightful grin as if he was sure that Myra wouldnât be able to take control of Stark Group.
Seeing his expression, Myra suddenly felt vigilant. The fact that Cameron is acting haughty shows that he is hiding something.
After the elevator arrived, Myra stopped talking to Cameron, stepped into the elevator, and pressed the button of the level she was heading to. Cameron followed behind and stood next to her.
Cameron is acting really strange today.
In the elevator, Cameron said, âCome to my office later.â
Upon hearing that, Myra looked at Cameron suspiciously. Whatâs wrong with him today? Heâs being really unpredictable.
âI have something important to tell you. It has something to do with Stark Group, so you must come.â
Cameron completely ignored Myraâs reaction and spoke as if he was giving her a warning.
âI am not interested,â Myra replied word by word. Cameron can do whatever crazy thing he wants, but I donât have the time to play around.
âYou wouldnât want me to sell Stark Group to someone else, would you?â Cameron asked in a threatening tone.
Myra instantly looked upset. Heâs using the same trick to provoke me again.
âWhoever you sell Stark Group to has nothing to do with me,â Myra replied calmly.
Cameron was stunned by Myraâs reaction and didnât know what to say, so he stared at her furiously.
However, he didnât receive any response from her.
âYour grandfather started Stark Group and your mother worked hard to develop the company for what it is today. Are you sure you donât care about its future at all?â Cameron pulled the family card and described Myra as a cold-blooded woman who didnât care about her family.
âTsk! If you have decided to sell Stark Group, there is nothing I can do. After all, you hold most of Stark Groupâs shares.â Myra looked at Cameron with a mocking grin on her face as if she was looking at a silly clown.
Just when the two of them were having a fight, the elevator doors opened, and Myra immediately stepped out of the elevator. She didnât want to spend another minute with Cameron.
Cameron watched as Myra walked away, and he was infuriated. He couldnât figure out why both of his daughters would go against him. They are my children and my bloodline, but they choose to go against me. If I had known that they would grow into such spiteful children, I wouldâve strangled them the moment they were born.
Myra naturally wouldnât go to Cameronâs office. Because of that, Cameron had no choice but to visit Myra in her office. I must give her the message today.
Myra kept her head down and continued to read the documents even after Cameron came into her office. Cameron stood before her desk angrily, but she didnât even bother to look at him. It was as if the documents on her desk were more interesting than Cameron.
When Cameron realized that Myra wasnât planning to talk to him, he cleared his throat and said, âI heard that you and Tony attended Matthiasâ dinner banquet yesterday!â He went straight to the point and brought up Matthiasâs name.
As expected, it has something to do with Matthias. Myra had already guessed that the reason Cameron became so arrogant again was that he made a dirty deal with Matthias.
âSo?â Myra slightly raised her chin and glanced at Cameron coldly. Did Matthias ask Cameron to send me a message?
âMatthias has been acquiring Stark Groupâs shares. Did you know about that?â Cameron asked as he stared down at Myra. At that moment, he thought that Myra would be surprised.
âSo?â Myra was losing her patience. Cameron has been babbling for a long time. When is he going to get to the point?
âMatthias came to me yesterday and proposed to work together. He is willing to fully support me. Stark Group will still be mine and nobody can take it away from me. Iâd rather have another business partner than let you have Stark Group.â Cameron explained everything in one breath and the meaning behind his words was obvious. Now that he was working together with Matthias, he wouldnât have to worry even if Myra wanted to take over Stark Group.
âBusiness partner?â Myra asked mockingly. âHow do you know that Matthias isnât planning to have Stark Group all to himself?â
Myra didnât believe that Matthias was satisfied with being a business partner. He has been making big moves lately, but nobody knows what heâs really planning.
âHe promised me that his shares wonât be more than mine.â When Cameron said this, it was obvious that he wasnât confident. After all, most businessmen were untrustworthy.
âWell then, congratulations on finding a good business partner.â Then, Myra returned her attention to the documents in her hands. She didnât want to continue the conversation with Cameron. Besides, she had nothing to say to him.
âI advise you to give up as soon as possible. The number of shares you own are far from enough to go against me. Donât think that you can sit back and relax now that you have Alicia and her daughterâs support,â Cameron growled angrily. Whenever he remembered that Alicia gave her shares to Myra, he instantly felt infuriated.
I was the one who gave Alicia those shares. I thought that Alicia didnât date me for money, and I thought that she was different from other women. However, all women are the same. All of them have bad intentions and all they think about is spending my fortune.
The more Cameron thought about it, the angrier he felt. He couldnât understand why women were so evil. I hate women.
âWeâll see who will take control of Stark Group in the end,â Myra said calmly. Compared to Cameronâs anger, Myra was much more relaxed.
Although Matthias appeared out of nowhere, I will find a way to deal with him. This is how the business world works. Nobody knows what will happen tomorrow. No one will be your enemy forever, and no one will be your friend forever. The only constant is the never-ending search for more profit.
âMatthias wants to see you tomorrow,â Cameron said in an upset manner. I have no idea why Matthias insisted on meeting Myra.
âI wonât go,â Myra replied without even looking up.
Seeing that, Cameron suddenly lost his temper. Myra never listens to me. Itâs like I have no authority over her even though I am her father who raised her.
After giving it some thought, he softly said, âItâll be good for you.â He had already agreed to Matthiasâ
request, so he had to make sure Myra would be there.
âIs that so? Thank you for your concern, but Iâm not interested.â Myra continued to flip through the documents. It was clear that she was not interested in meeting Matthias at all.
âYou must go and see him. He wants to discuss Stark Groupâs affairs with you.â Cameron suddenly spoke sternly because he had no idea how to persuade Myra.
âSince when have you fallen from your pedestal and become someoneâs pet?â Myra deliberately said to provoke Cameron. She was starting to feel annoyed by his babbling.
Cameron scoffed in anger. All of a sudden, he changed the subject and asked meaningfully, âDo you not remember who Matthias is?â
Hearing that, Myra looked up at Cameron. His words made her feel a little worried. Have Cameron and Matthias known each other for a long time?
The two of them glared at each other in silence. After a while, Myra replied grimly, âI donât know him. If Matthias wants to meet me, ask him to talk to me personally.â
Cameron raised his chin and pointed at Myra angrily. âFine! Myra, you are really ungrateful. I raised you and never treated you badly, but this is how you treat me?â
