Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 143

Was Elliot inside the car back then?

In the next moment, the car’s engine started and left.

Myra shook her head at her own thoughts and went on to play with Meow before she brought it back to

her house.

The schedule had been packed recently. Once the men from the business circle were done with dinner,

one of them suggested they visit a nightclub. It was something they had gotten used to doing.

When Tony got up on his feet, he casually grabbed his suit jacket before he loosened his tie slightly

without an expression. Standing beside him was a similarly tall and handsome man. The man let out a

low chuckle and said to Tony, “My sister called you yesterday night, and when you didn’t answer the

call, she was so infuriated that she smashed the new desk lamp we just got recently. That honor is

yours alone. Apart from you, I really don’t know who can control her.” He sounded gloomy yet evil, and

his words were ambiguous.

Even though Tony heard that, his expression remained stoic. He simply put out the lit cigarette in his

hand and glanced at the man who spoke earlier. “Our former partnership was solely about business.”

The gloomy man was stunned for a second before he narrowed his eyes. “I’m just kidding. Look at you;

we just divided up the company, and now you’re already so eager to cut ties with the Walton Family? If

I didn’t know you, I would have thought that you really despised our family.”

Tony didn’t respond to his words. After he put on his suit jacket, he walked straight to the door. “I won’t

go later. Be sure to keep the others entertained.”

His voice was calm. At work, Tony managed to work out a lot of deals no matter how tough they may

be with his calm and collected nature.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

For that reason, Gideon Walton chose him as his partner in setting up a company. Of course, the Hart

Family’s forces behind him were something Gideon had his eyes on as well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t

have encouraged his sister to go after a man who seemed so heartless. Furthermore, the Walton

Family’s company in the United States had encountered some issues. Although there was no solution

for the time being, and he could only agree with Tony’s idea to divide the company, as long as his sister

was married to him, what happened afterward was not a problem.

However…

After he thought for a moment, he twitched his lips and asked tentatively, “All these years, even though

you never found yourself a woman, you would never leave me alone when there’s a big contract. Did

Young Master Tony finally change his personality?”

Yet, Tony looked like he didn’t hear his question. The room fell silent for a moment and soon, his figure

disappeared in the doorway.

Inside the room, the smile on Gideon’s face slowly froze. A layer of a gloomy fog that couldn’t seem to

clear away quickly formed under his eyes. Immediately, he took his phone out and called someone.

When the phone was connected, he let out a smirk. A touch of malice glinted in his eyes; it wasn’t there

when Tony was in front of him. “Gemma, you better hurry up. I’m afraid that you might fall behind and

lose his heart!”

At the moment, the young lady of the Walton Family, Gemma Walton, was driving. Upon hearing her

brother’s warning, she was puzzled. “Gideon, what are you talking about? Wasn’t Tony out with you

today to talk business?”

“Talk business?” Remembering how Tony had left the room and told him to keep the others entertained,

Gideon couldn’t help but sneer. “I think you’re too at ease. His heart isn’t with you, yet you let him stay

in Bradfort City for so long! Gemma, do you still think that he was joking about dividing the company?

The contract has already come into effect this afternoon. Your Tony only left me ten percent of the

company’s shares!”

“What?!” Gemma stepped on the brake, nearly hitting the car in front. “Gideon, didn’t you say that you

could convince Tony? If you guys really divided up the company, once he takes care of things in the

States, does that mean he’ll never come back again?”

“Congratulations, you’ve finally come to terms with reality.” When Gideon recalled his dissatisfaction

when he signed the contract in the afternoon, he was enraged. However, Tony was the one who ran the

company, and he accidentally made a mistake, giving Tony the upper hand over him. Therefore, even

though he was irritated by Tony’s ruthlessness, he couldn’t change Tony’s mind. Gideon’s face was

blazing with fury. “He’ll only stay in the States for two more days. Remember what I told you. Don’t let

go of this man, be it for your sake, or the sake of our family! I heard that he has an affair with a woman

in Bradfort City. Gemma, if you’re one step slower again, there’ll be nothing left for you in the end.”

The green light came on, and at the same time, Gemma’s expression twisted. “A woman’s clinging to

Tony in Bradfort City?”

“Is it weird that women are clinging to him?” Gideon was impatient and went on coldly, “No matter what

method you use, as long as you can get married to him, I promise you that the Walton Group will give

you twenty percent of the shares as your dowry. It’ll also be an indication of sincerity from us to the Hart

Family.”

“Really?” Gemma’s distorted expression quickly faded into a blooming smile.

“Of course—provided that you can convince Tony to marry you.” Gideon narrowed his eyes, making

him look more evil. Then, he hung up instantly.

Staring at the leftover food in front of him, he jerked the tablecloth and let everything on the dining table

spill all over the place.

After Gemma ended the call, a trace of determination flashed across her delicate face. She had been

chasing after Tony for so many years. All these years, no woman could stay by his side for more than

two days. When he was in the United States, she could handle those women she knew who wanted to

get into his bed. However, those in Bradfort City…

She narrowed her eyes at the thought, and her gorgeous eyes dimmed like her brother’s.

“Myra, Myra, please believe me! Do you know how I broke up with my tenth boyfriend? It’s because I

happened to see him meeting up with business partners in a bar. And he had hot girls with big breasts

in his arms! You don’t want to know how affectionate they were!”

After Estelle learned that Tony had gone to the United States and had to attend some work-related

social functions, she immediately told Myra about what men usually do when they are having fun. “You

just got together with Tony. Your relationship isn’t strong yet. To let him leave like that, aren’t you afraid

that he’ll go out and fool around? The one-night stand you mentioned meant nothing to him. So, why

don’t you call him right now and put out some feelers! Find out if there are any women around him!”

When Myra heard Estelle getting farfetched, her expression sank to its extreme. She shot her a

discontented glance. “Estelle, don’t be ridiculous! He’s not that kind of man.”

“Oh my God!” Estelle’s nervous expression instantly bloomed into a flower-like smile. “Look at you; I

was just making stuff up, yet you’re so protective over him. Myra, you’re really hopeless.”

Once Myra knew she had been teased, her cheeks were painted red, and she proceeded to take the

steak away from Estelle. “I’m going to starve you this afternoon!”

“No way, Myra. Sisters before misters. Without the box I sent you that day, you guys wouldn’t have

gotten together so fast that night! I can forgive you for not being grateful, but how can you starve me?”

she protested.

After listening to her words, Myra was even more flustered. “How dare you mention that! If it weren’t for

that box you sent, I wouldn’t have been made a fool in front of Old Master Hart!”
