Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 193

“Heh…” Tony chuckled softly. Even Cameron could hear the deep ridicule hidden within the laughter.

Cameron clenched the phone tightly in his hands and asked, “Director Hart, what… is the purpose of

your call today?”

Tony flicked the ash off his cigarette and faintly replied, “Naturally, I’m here to give my future father-in-

law a present. I heard that the Stark Group was trying to obtain the Elsinore Garden Project recently.”

As if he didn’t know in the first place. Cameron’s eyes gleamed. “Director Hart, are you—”

“I will hand over another 3% of the profits in the Elsinore Garden Project if you let Myra take the

position of the Stark Group’s general manager and take charge of this project. What do you think?” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Without waiting for Cameron to express his opinion, Tony addressed the person on the other end of the

phone as ‘father-in-law’. Then, he said something about handing over the profits to the Stark Group on

the condition that Myra took the position as the general manager of the company. Listening to those

words, Kris felt her pupils contracting abruptly in response. Even so, she didn’t dare to interrupt the

conversation between the two men!

When Cameron heard Tony saying that he was willing to hand over the profits, his eyes narrowed

considerably. Obtaining the Elsinore Garden Project was a great opportunity for the Stark Group—the

profits from the project were enough to compare to the company’s profits for the next half of the year. If

I can get another 3%… “It looks like Myra is deeply loved, Director Hart.” After weighing the pros and

cons, he quickly came to a conclusion and laughed in delight. “Myra is a scrupulous child. I will feel at

ease to leave the Elsinore Garden Project in her hands.”

Those words meant that the two of them had reached an agreement. Thus, Tony hung up without

further ado.

“Tony…” Kris no longer addressed him as ‘Director Hart’. She looked shocked, her white teeth fiercely

biting down on her lower lip. “Have you gotten the wrong idea about me? I didn’t mean to deceive you

last time. However, I can’t explain the specifics to you. The Stark Group, Hilliville, and the Ritz Carlton

will indeed all be mine in the future. I know that the Hart Group is hyping up Hilliville right now. I’m sure

Sis is not willing to hand it over to you. But, if I can obtain it, I will surely hand it over to you without

hesitation!”

She now blamed the man’s indifference toward her entirely on the last conversation they had outside

the Zion Club that went nowhere in the end.

After Tony hung up the phone, he didn’t even glance at the woman opposite him. He turned around,

extinguished his burnt cigarette butt with his foot, and went back inside. The way he acted was as if he

only wanted her to listen to the phone call that showcased just how much he loved Myra.

Kris felt a gradual feeling of helplessness washing over her limbs; it was a feeling she had never

experienced before. Gnashing her teeth savagely, she was tempted to yell at the back of the man that

was getting further and further away. All of a sudden, her phone began to ring. She answered the call,

then her expression changed drastically upon listening to what the other party said through the phone.

Eyeing the cold and indifferent back of that man again, she got into her sports car and left.

Myra had rested enough by the time Tony returned to the bedroom. She had seen the interaction

between the man and the woman downstairs from the floor-to-ceiling window. She felt a little anxious at

first—she didn’t even notice that she breathed out a sigh of relief when Tony tossed his cigarette butt to

the ground and walked back to the villa. When she saw him, she subconsciously turned over and faced

her back to the man behind her.

Tony chuckled softly. Walking over, he took off his coat and got into bed. He brought a cool breeze with

him as he got into bed. The moment he climbed into bed, he pulled the stiff woman into his embrace

and forcefully planted a kiss on her forehead. “Are you angry?”

His voice was not as hard and cold as it had been when he had been talking to Kris. Moreover, the

lines of his face had softened considerably too.

She struggled against him slightly. Then, she bit her lip again when she couldn’t escape from his hold.

In the next moment, she felt her body being flipped over. The lips that she was biting were also covered

by the man’s thin lips. He kissed her on the lips several times before lifting an eyebrow at her and

smiling. “Don’t you want to know who I called with your phone?”

“I don’t care,” she muttered softly.

In response, he laughed quietly again. When he laughed, his chest shook slightly. It made her feel

rather embarrassed, so she buried her head under the covers. He let her do as she pleased and just

hugged her tighter. “I called Cameron.”

She was slightly taken aback by those words. Following that, she heard his voice again. “I threatened

him. I told him I would not give him the Elsinore Garden Project if he didn’t let you become the general

manager.”

Although those words sounded like a joke, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately lifted her head

and came face-to-face with his vastly profound eyes. There was a playful smile in his eyes. Seeing that

smile in his eyes made her face flush. Then, she took one of his hands to play with. “It feels like I’m

being protected…”

Initially, she had not wanted to let Cameron know about her relationship with Tony despite knowing that

she could not keep them in the dark for long. However, the way Tony revealed their relationship to

Cameron clearly indicated that he was protecting her. Kris most likely understood that just now. Isn’t

that why she left in a huff? Contrary to her expectations, she felt pleased with the thought.

Seeing that she wasn’t throwing a tantrum, he hugged her tighter. “That means I’m not putting in

enough effort. Still, putting you into a cage seems like a pretty good idea.”

“Tony Hart!” She gritted her teeth.

Meanwhile, he laughed comfortably. Lowering his head, he laughingly whispered in her ear, “Grandpa

has left.”

“I know.” She felt gloomy. I embarrassed myself so many times in front of Old Master Hart today. It’s all

this man’s fault!

“He also took that little thing we bought at the supermarket away with him.” His voice was playful and

sexy. Therefore, it was hard not to think about the small box that he was referring to. Her face flushed

crimson at those words. She decided to burrow into the covers instead, but she was caught by the man

and placed on top of his body. “Grandpa and Grandma are getting older. I believe we should go along

with their wishes and make them happy.”

If it were anybody else who had spoken those words, she might have found it touching. However, she

couldn’t detect a single hint of filial piety when he was the one to say those words. She looked at him

slightly vigilantly. “What do you mean?”

Unfortunately, it was too late. Myra felt a fullness in her lower body. Then, the man in front of her

covered her lips with his again. Tony murmured in between kisses, “Since Grandpa and Grandma want

great-grandchildren so much, we should work harder to make their wish come true.”

“Dad, I only need you to give me a little more time. Just a little more time! Tony will surely be mine! The

Elsinore Garden Project too; I will do as you wish and bring you the profits that you want!”

An hour or so later, Kris barged into Cameron’s office. On the way to the Stark Group, Cameron had

given her a call. He asked her to take over for another project and hand over the management rights of

the Elsinore Garden Project, which was carried out in cooperation with the Hart Group, to Myra.

“Kris, that’s enough from you. I’m only asking you to give up on this project this time. You will have

many other opportunities in the future.” Cameron gently comforted his daughter and patted her on the

shoulder.

“What about becoming the general manager of the Stark Group?! Didn’t you say not too long ago that

you will find a chance to hand that position over to me…” She bit her lip viciously. “Also, I poured my

heart into the Elsinore Garden Project. Now, I have to hand it over to Sis?! Dad, that’s not fair!”

“Fair or not, I’m not the one to decide.” Cameron glanced at Kris meaningfully. “You actually knew that

Tony was in a relationship with Myra, right? But, you didn’t tell me about it. In the end, you caused all

these incidents to happen.”

Knew about it? That’s true; I knew about it. But, if I had told you about it earlier, a man like you, who

puts his own interests first, would have placed more importance on Myra even sooner.
