Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 124

Right after Myra finished her sentence, someone yelled out loud, “This is impossible!”

The person was not Eve or Sean, but it was Lyla.

However, she unwillingly lowered her head after Eve glared at her.

Eve’s expression also changed immediately. Initially, she thought that everything would end on a good

note today after the divorce. Myra seemed to have suddenly turned into a different person as she

requested for half of Chase Group’s land in Hilliville.

If it was in the past, that piece of land was a dead city, so they would not be shocked if she had asked

for half of it. However, now that it was about to be sold off, they would earn money from it. Of course,

no one would like to have lower profits.

“Myra…” After thinking about it, Eve frowned. “I always felt sorry that you have no affinity with Sean. I

like you, but don’t you think your request earlier is overboard? Two years ago, it was Sean who

developed Hilliville from scratch. Have you ever thought about us when you requested half of it?”

“In that case, have you ever thought about me, Mrs. Chase?” In the past, Myra felt warmth emanating

from Eve. She thought that Eve would always provide her with warmth, but she now realized her

kindness came with strings attached. If she had not been useful to them, Eve would not have treated

her well. Now that Eve knew that she would not help them anymore and would even avoid them, she Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

requested for the divorce proceedings immediately.

However, it was not easy to go through a divorce.

Since they are not cutting me some slack, I’m not going to meekly tolerate it!

“Mrs. Chase, you should be lucid on who helped the Chase Group to prosper in such a short time. I’m

sure you know who exactly is responsible for preventing the company from being bought by others. Of

all the people, you know who the scapegoat is and that has enabled you guys to freely enjoy life.

Taking half of Hilliville, no matter whether we settle in court officially or privately, is not much of a

request. Otherwise, would you like to head to court so that I can fight for more?” How can a person

quickly mature? It must be a result of the many obstacles and challenges.

Seeing the three darkened faces, Myra felt a surge of pleasure within her.

Lyla could no longer hold her silence and answered, “Fine! Let’s go to court then! Myra, don’t forget

that we have pictures of you with other men. Do you think the court will help a woman who cheated on

her husband?” That’s half of Hilliville! The amount of money is probably something that I can’t earn in a

lifetime. I can’t give it to Myra just like this!

Upon hearing that, Myra gave a mock smile as she looked at Sean and Eve. “In that case, should I

thank you for being so in love with Miss Fisher, Director Chase? Do you need me to remind you how

many women like her you’ve sought in the past? Everyone in Bradfort City knows that you are a

playboy who switches a different partner each night. Now, you are accusing me of being with another

man? Huh! You can’t even see the picture of the man clearly, so how are you going to prove that the

man is not Director Chase?”

Sean’s face immediately darkened.

“You—”

Lyla wanted to say something else, but Eve harshly interrupted her. “Stop blabbering here and shut

up!”

Lyla’s expression immediately changed. This time, I’m the one who saved Chase Group. How can Eve

treat me like this? Even though she was furious, she could not show it in front of Sean.

“Myra, can we discuss this? After all, half is simply too much… You have to consider our position as

well. How about this—I’ll ask Sean to give you 20% of it.” Seeing Myra’s stance today, Eve knew that

they could not reach an amicable result anymore.

She had no idea who the big customer that Lyla had been talking about was, but after what happened

yesterday, she knew that the piece of land needed to be sold as soon as possible. Even delaying it by a

day would bring much danger to them, let alone going to court with Myra.

Because of the Marina Bay Bridge incident, the customer nearly stopped dealing with them. If we go to

court about this and the news is leaked, what if the customer turns back on his words?

“50%—no more, no less, Mrs. Chase, I don’t want to talk about anything that happened in the past

anymore. This is my bottomline. If you need time to think about it, do return and take your time. We can

meet later.”

With that, Myra turned to leave.

“Fine. If you want half of it, so be it.” Behind her, as soon as Sean’s cold voice rang, she stopped

walking.

“Have you lost your mind, Sean?” Eve’s expression immediately changed.

Myra twitched her lips into a smile. However, when she turned, there was only indifference in her eyes.

Without looking at the three of them, she headed to a nearby photocopy shop.

“Sean, that’s 50%!” Lyla shared the same thoughts as Eve on the matter. She’s the one who went

overboard by asking 50% of it.

He calmly looked at both the women. “In that case, do you have any other suggestions?”

The expression on their faces slightly changed. Sure enough, they did not have any other ideas. It was

impossible to ask Myra to give them another chance. After what they had done to her yesterday, they

should count their lucky stars that she would let that slide. Eve was even prepared to kneel before Myra

if things could not work out today, but obviously, what the latter wanted was just money.

Sean’s gaze passed through the crowd and he saw Myra entering a photocopy shop. She seems

different from before. In the past, she always looked troubled and morose. However, earlier, not only

does she look stubborn, she also looks strong. She has the glow of a woman who is about to start her

new life.

His face darkened even more.

He did not know what had happened to make her change her character overnight. Is this a pretense—

or is she planning to take so much away from me so that I can beg her to return?

Without speaking, Sean walked into the photocopy store with her.

It was already noon when everything was settled.

Before they entered the Civil Affairs Bureau, Myra took the bag that she left at the Chase Residence

yesterday from Eve. It contained their marriage certificate. When Myra walked out, she had a divorce

certificate in her hands—and perhaps with something more than that.

Her footsteps became lighter as if a burden had been taken away from her.

On the other side, Sean’s face became darker for the umpteenth time.

Both Eve and Lyla did not follow the former couple into the Civil Affairs Bureau. Instead, they waited in

a car that was parked quite far away.

Myra took her phone out to call Tony since he had asked her to do so once everything was settled.

However, Sean firmly stood in front of her. “Myra, who bailed you out of the police station last night?”

His tall figure cast a complete shadow on her when he stood in front of her.

She frowned slightly before she replied indifferently, “I don’t think this is related to you, Director Chase.”

“Is it your father?” He did not seem to hear her reply as he stubbornly wanted an answer from her.

When Myra heard her father being mentioned, her expression slightly changed and her tone became

even colder. “No matter what, the person who picked me up was not you. What do you want by asking

this?”

“Was it a man who picked you up?” Sean’s gaze immediately sank. Then, he suddenly grabbed her

hand as he demanded in an icy tone. “Who picked you up?”
