Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 244

“President Hart…” Lyla clenched her fists that dangled on both sides of her body.

If I can go back in time, I won’t be so stupid as to frame Myra when I knew that she was together with

Tony in the beginning, and I certainly won’t come to Tony’s office to say those things. At the very least, I

won’t make my relationship with Tony to be so tense on the surface.

“Do you know why I decided to talk to you in the end, Miss Fisher?” Tony took his cigarette away with a

cold expression as he looked at the woman in front of him.

Lyla’s heart pumped faster but she forced herself to ask, “Why?”

“What I say are never empty words. When you targeted Myra the other day, you should have thought of

what would happen today,” Tony commented indifferently as he extinguished his cigarette.

Upon hearing that, Lyla’s expression changed immediately.

“What do you mean, Director Hart?”

“Lyla, you can’t even take care of Elsie, yet you still dream of having a stable position as Mrs. Chase?”

His tone was calm as his fingers intertwined together. “If you are smart enough, you would never allow

today’s situation to happen.”

Lyla clenched her fists tightly. “I don’t understand what you mean, Director Hart. You must be worried if

my position as Mrs. Chase isn’t stable. After all, Myra has only divorced Sean not too long ago. If I go

and divorce Sean now, can you really guarantee that nothing would ensue because of that?”

Tony’s eyes narrowed as he stared her down quietly.

Lyla’s back was drenched with sweat upon facing such a situation, so she took a deep breath. After a

while, she saw Tony chuckling softly with a hint of mockery on his face. “Are you threatening me?”

“Of course I wouldn’t dare to. I was merely breaking down the facts for you,” Lyla replied in a hoarse

voice.

Upon hearing that, Tony leaned back in his chair and lit another cigarette. Soon, the smoke slowly rose

from the end of the cigarette.

“Do you know why is Elsie so smart? She did not look for Sean in the beginning. Instead, she went to

his mother, Mrs. Chase, after her pregnancy stabilized,” Tony suddenly murmured in a calm tone.

Lyla knew about Elsie, the former employee of the Chase Group; she used to be in the same

department as Myra. Of course, she was also with Sean for a while.

Why did Tony suddenly bring this up? Could it be that…

Her face turned pale. “It was you—”

“Indeed,” Tony said nonchalantly as he flicked his cigarette, making the ashes fall to the ground. “What

Elsie did is just a punishment to you. I’ve told you not to provoke Myra.”

Lyla lost control of her footing and retreated a few steps. “Director Hart, by treating me like this, aren’t

you afraid that I will tell Myra—”

“You met Gemma downstairs?” Tony interrupted her calmly.

His emotionless and piercing stare swept past Lyla, and the woman immediately shivered.

“Miss Fisher, I’m sure you don’t want to defend yourself against the Walton and the Hart Family at the

same time.” Tony’s eyes narrowed. “This is your last time seeing me here. Don’t appear in front of me

ever again.”

“Director Hart, I’m begging you; please help me…” Lyla shuddered after she returned to her senses

and she took a few steps in Tony’s direction. “I can handle Elsie by myself but the Walton Family…

Director Hart, I’m begging you! Please help me this time! As long as you tell Gideon that I’m on your

side, he won’t touch me easily! Please, Director Hart; I beg you! I swear to God that I will never tell

Myra anything as long as you agree to lend me a hand!”

Now that Gideon was involved, the trouble caused by Elsie was considered nothing at all.

As soon as Lyla remembered the man who resembled a demon, she could no longer keep her cool.

The relationship between her and the Chase Family was already quite tense at this moment. If Sean

and Eve knew about her relationship with Gideon in the past, everything that she had said to them

would be like a slap on her own face.

“What can you do if I don’t agree to help you?” Tony looked at the woman, who was on the verge of

breaking down, with an amused expression on his face.

Lyla froze upon hearing that. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

As for Elsie’s matter, if Tony could help, I would definitely be able to chase her away and solidify my

position in the Chase Family. Even if Tony refuses to help and my life would be more difficult, I still have

ways to stabilize myself. However, if he refuses to help me with the matters regarding the Walton

Family…

However, Tony also said that if I dare to threaten him, he will simply play more tricks on me. If both the

Walton and Hart Families come looking for trouble at the same time, and I can’t even handle the Chase

Family…

Lyla’s face was as pale as a sheet. Biting her lip furiously, she asked, “You really don’t plan on helping

me, Director Hart?”

“Even if you tell Myra, do you think she will believe you?” Tony’s lips twitched into a faint smile but his

eyes still looked cold.

Upon hearing that, Lyla froze immediately.

He has a point. My relationship with Myra is at the worst point right now. If I tell her about the things

that Tony did to her back then, would she believe me instead of Tony?

When the time comes, if Tony becomes really angry… Despair slowly flooded Lyla.

“Director Hart, you would not benefit if Sean and I were to get a divorce. Based on what I know, he still

has feelings toward Myra but he hasn’t realized it yet. If Sean and I get divorced, he will definitely go

looking for her again. I’m sure you don’t want this to happen, do you?”

Lyla had no other way out, so she thought of this rather surprising idea.

This time around, Tony took a deep puff from his cigarette. After a long silence, his sharp eyes finally

glanced at Lyla coldly. “I’m not going to interfere with the matters between you and the Walton Family

but if you agree to one condition, I will solidify your position in the Chase Family as Sean’s wife.”

Lyla’s eyes lit up immediately and the pressure she had been feeling was finally relieved as she quickly

nodded. “Of course; as long as you are willing to help, Director Hart!”

As long as he decides to help, I won’t have too big a problem anymore.

When Lyla went downstairs, Gemma was already gone.

However, after thinking back on Tony’s condition which she had agreed to, she bit her lip hard. A self-

mocking smile lingered on her face as soon as she thought about Myra, the lucky woman.

Lyla used to think that she had defeated Myra. Unexpectedly, the latter had become a woman whom

she could never reach. After all, Tony’s love for her was much greater than Lyla’s expectations. To be

loved so deeply by Tony… Why would she want to think of Sean and let Tony go? Between the two of

them, any other woman would definitely know who to choose!

So what if I tell Myra the things that Tony did to her in the past? It’s useless!

Though reluctant, Lyla knew that she had no other way out at this point.

As soon as she walked out of the Hart Group, Lyla immediately stiffened.

Outside the Hart Group building, there was a square with a beautiful fountain located in the middle. At

that moment, a car that Lyla was very familiar with was parked right next to it.

The person in the car seemed to have seen her so he rolled down the windows, revealing his

handsome yet indifferent face—it was none other than Sean Chase.

Lyla slowly walked to the Lamborghini. As soon as she reached the car, the door to the co-driver’s seat

was opened. Taking a deep breath, she bent down and got into the car.

The minute she sat down, the cold man next to her closed the door immediately. He then started the

engine and drove away.

“Sean…” Lyla’s heart was beating so quickly that it almost jumped out of her throat. She turned her

head slightly to look at his indifferent side-profile.
