Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 80

Myra clenched her fist when she recalled how her mother ventured out on searches to find her

husband during her final days like a madwoman, all the while ignoring other people’s advice. Staring

straight at the woman before her with a chilly gaze, Myra smirked. “You don’t need to beat around the

bush. I suppose you have something to tell me since you came to me. What is it that you’re planning to

do this time? Do you want me to give up my inheritance rights over Stark Group?”

“Sis…” Kris stomped her foot in aggrievedness. “There must be a misunderstanding between us! Our

father had me come to you, since you didn’t pick up my calls when I called you prior to this. The

company is in trouble. A few of the shareholders were suddenly against our father being the director.

Therefore, in order to prevent the company from being taken over by outsiders, he thought of reaching

out to you for help. Don’t you have twenty percent of Stark Group’s shares?”

“What’s the matter? Aren’t you and your mother being too greedy by trying to take my shares from me

as well? Aren’t you satisfied with the thirty percent of shares that Cameron Stark owns?” Myra cut her

short before she could finish her sentence.

Kris’ countenance shifted ever so slightly. “Sis, our grandfather was the one who established the

company, so are you sure you’re going to allow some outsiders to take over it? Besides, Dad already

clarified that he’s only going to borrow your shares. He’ll return them to you once things have settled

down. He never planned on—”

“In your dreams.” Once again, Myra cut her off. Hearing Kris making mention of her grandfather stirred

up even more feelings of resentment within her. If it weren’t for Kris and her mother… If it weren’t for

them, things wouldn’t have turned out this way… She was trembling in anger while she opened the

door of her house.

“Sis…”

“Stop calling me sis! You don’t deserve to call me that!” Myra didn’t even turn around.

Kris bit on her lip while hatred simmered within her. All of a sudden, she began lashing out at Myra from

behind her. “Myra, you arrogant b*tch! No wonder neither Sean and Dad likes you! I’ve always

performed as good as you ever since we were younger, but you were constantly presiding over me! But

now, you’ll finally be dealt your karma! I heard that Lyla Fisher is back, so do you think Sean would still

want you? In fact, he already threw you out of the house! Oh, there’s one more thing that I have to tell

you.” Kris was chuckling so hard that she was trembling. “You must’ve not heard about the fact that my

mother is pregnant. According to the doctor, the baby will most likely be a boy!”

Kris’ vile words coiled around Myra like a venomous snake before invading her senses. She could feel

a sudden chill within her, but she still entered the apartment unit with a sullen look on her face before

slamming the door shut. No wonder they are conspiring to take my shares. It’s all because they know a

male heir is on its way. Although Myra had thought she already got used to being hurt, fate always had

something even harsher in wait. Will the perils only end when I hit rock bottom?

Meanwhile, Kris shrugged in contempt when Myra slammed the door in her face. After all, she had

achieved her aim of delivering the news of her mother’s pregnancy. After all those years of being

oppressed by Myra, who was favored by their grandfather, she was finally able to vent the frustrations

that she had accumulated throughout the years. As soon as her younger brother was born, the

company would be his to inherit, so Myra would no longer be able to fight back. After letting out a

harrumph, she turned to leave.

On the other hand, Myra had been constantly visiting Hart Group ever since Tony took the blow for her.

Also, she had been constantly trying to gauge information from Leo to see if there was anything that

she could help with. After all, she was the reason that Tony’s arm was hurt. His injuries also led to an

inflammation that had him hospitalized. The incident made it to the news headlines, shocking the whole

of Bradfort City. Elliot was right. Tony’s hands are important to him. He shouldn’t have taken that blow NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

for me.

That morning, Myra volunteered to buy Leo his lunch after the meeting at Hart Group. However, it was

in fact an excuse for her to buy Tony’s lunch in order to ease her own guilt. After bringing them a

nutritious lunch set, Myra uncapped the thermos cup to pour some of the soup out, which she then

handed to Leo. “Mr. Clark, please give this to Mr. Hart.”

For a few consecutive days, Myra had been waking up early to make some soup that she would send

to Hart Group during lunch break. That night, she already did some research on all sorts of soup that

could help Tony heal, so she had been making a different soup for him every day.

Upon glancing at the thermos cup beside Myra, Leo wore an ambiguous smile while informing her,

“Miss Stark, I see you have been making him a different soup every day. From what I can see, Mr. Hart

seemed to be in better spirits.”

With a smile, she replied humbly, “This is the only thing I can do for him.” After her soup delivery, she

left on the elevator. Leo saw her off, and it wasn’t until the elevator went downstairs that he went to

open the door to the office.

“How is it, Mr. Clark? Is Myra finished with her meeting?” In the office sat an middle-aged woman

dressed in elegant and lavish clothing. As soon as she saw Leo, she inquired him eagerly about Myra’s

whereabouts.

In the meantime, Leo seemed to be in slight distress. A while later, he heaved a sigh. “Mrs. Chase, I

am sorry. I do not know that there is a wedge between you and Miss Stark. As soon as she heard me

mention your presence in the office, she ran back into the elevator with a pale face.”

“Oh dear…” The woman on the sofa was none other than Eve Hay. What Leo told her drained her face

of color. She had been trying to find Myra during the past few days. However, as if Myra was trying to

avoid her, she never saw Myra in Chase Group’s office. After she had finally managed to track down

that she would be attending a meeting at Hart Group, she had her driver drive her to the company, but

she didn’t expect Myra to be so angry at her. Although Myra had always been obedient to her elders,

she seemed determined to avoid Eve this time.

“Ahem… Mrs. Chase, I have something that I have been wanting to tell you, but I am unsure if you

would want to hear it.” Leo was being reserved.

Eagerly, Eve said, “Pray tell.”

With a gentle smile on his face, Leo explained, “I understand why you might be feeling anxious, but you

don’t actually have to feel that way. They might have had an argument, but they will resolve it by

themselves. You meddling in their business will only make them both feel uncomfortable about it.

Besides, I know that Miss Stark loves Mr. Chase greatly, so you have nothing to worry about. I even

overheard her joking with her friend, during which she said she is merely giving him the cold shoulder

for now. She will go back after she has calmed down. She still loves him greatly, so she will go back to

him in due time.”

“Is that so?” Eve was feeling slightly dubious about it. Nevertheless, she knew of Leo’s status in Hart

Group, so she didn’t think he had any reason to lie to her.

“Of course. I consider Miss Stark my friend, and at the same time, I am a man myself, so I know about

men. Some men might have a hard time appreciating the women they had, but they will eventually

realize the truth after going through a few bumps along the way. Hence, you have nothing to worry

about. In fact, you’re only embarrassing her by chasing after her everywhere in public. Don’t you think

so?” Leo pushed his glasses up, which reflected the lights on the ceiling.

“I suppose that’s true.” Nobody knew Myra better than Eve, or so she thought. That child will eventually

come to forgive Sean no matter how sad she was. She must be avoiding me because I must have

annoyed her by being constantly on her heels. Well, I suppose I should give it a rest.
