Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 240

“Director Hart…” At that moment, she did not look at Myra standing right next to Tony. Instead, the

woman looked at him directly with a hint of plea and determination in her eyes, as though it was the

final effort she could make.

Myra looked at the woman in front of her with a conflicted expression. She really is a woman of her

words.

She lifted her head to look at the man next to her. He had a peaceful expression on his face, but he

was quite cold to Lyla. He merely pulled Myra’s hands as he planned to walk past Lyla as if she was

not there.

However, Lyla stopped them. Her eyes flickered when she saw Tony’s warning gaze, but after recalling

something, she harshly bit on her lips and raised her head. Myra saw blood forming on her lips

because of Lyla’s force.

Even though Lyla did not want to show Myra her weakness, she could not be bothered with that at this

moment. Looking at Myra, she said in a low and hoarse voice, “Miss Stark, can you give us a private

moment? I have… something to discuss with Director Hart.”

Myra’s hand subconsciously tightened around Tony. While pursing her lips, she peacefully looked at the

woman in front of her. “Miss Fisher, if you have anything to discuss, you can just say it right here. It’s

quite inappropriate of you to ask me to go away, isn’t it?”

Upon hearing that, Lyla’s expression changed immediately.

As soon as she knew that Myra had gotten together with Tony, she had already predicted that such a

day would arrive. In the past, it was always Myra who was envious of her. So what if Myra comes from

a wealthy family? She doesn’t have a mother and her father hates her. Even her favorite man, Sean

Chase, fell in love with me!

However, on this day, it was Myra who calmly stood in front of Lyla with an expression of disdain and

mockery on her face.

It’s all because of the man behind her! Without Tony, she’s nothing!

Turbulent emotions fought with each other within Lyla, as if someone had poked her entire body with

thousands of needles. However, she knew clearly that she could not attack Myra in front of him.

Ever since she had a fight with Sean yesterday, he did not return for the entire night.

A furious Lyla went to Eve and demanded an explanation from her. Upon seeing that, Eve’s expression

changed entirely and blamed Lyla for following her. However, Eve denied that the pregnant woman was

Sean’s partner. Instead, she merely said that the girl was a distant niece of hers. Apart from that, Eve

also warned Lyla that she would not be this polite if she followed her again.

Lyla’s relationship with Eve had taken a turn for the worse once again. She could not sleep at all last

night and she called Sean, who was away for the entire night, countless times. However, he did not

pick up any of her calls.

The next morning, after she woke up, she saw the latest entertainment news which showed Sean with

a pretty model in front of a hotel. The picture was taken by paparazzi who followed them. Almost

immediately, reports of his fling appeared on the first page of entertainment news.

Actually, the fact that he showed up in front of the hotel with another woman sent a deep message to

her.

Looking at the both of them leaning against each other, Lyla felt that blood almost flowed out of her

eyes.

She did not expect Sean to look for other women in less than two months after they were married.

She always thought that the reason why she could easily chase Myra away and become Mrs. Chase

was because Sean loved her. When he’s with another woman, has he ever thought of me?

Lyla became increasingly disappointed and hopeless toward the Chase Family. She knew that she had

the trump card before she married into the Chase Family, so Eve had to treat her well. However, now

that she no longer held any value to them, her status in the Chase Family was nothing. Perhaps Myra

was not as desperate as her back then. After all, she knew just how much Eve adored Myra in the past.

After having no other options, Lyla was forced to seek Tony’s help.

Up until this point, he was the only person who could help her.

Lyla clenched her fists that dangled on both sides of her body as her glance trailed from Myra to the

man beside her—Tony.

Tony Hart, the myth of Bradfort City, whose existence was like a God here. To Lyla, her best option was

him back then. He was cold, fearless, and powerful. On top of that, he came from an exceptional

background and his capabilities were outstanding—he had built his business empire at such a young

age. Most important of all, he was loyal and affectionate. It was the most blissful feeling to be loved by

this man.

However, when she met him after her return to Bradfort City, he immediately rejected her and offered

his help to marry her into the Chase Family.

I bet he was already planning to slowly gain Myra’s affection at that time!

For Myra, he could give up on everything he has. Looking at the woman next to Tony, Lyla was almost

overwhelmed by the jealousy and hatred that she could no longer suppress.

Why is Myra the one who gets all of this?

“Don’t you think that you are being unreasonable, Miss Stark? Director Hart is an independent adult This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

who has his own space and circle of friends. Without even asking him, you are making the decision for

him immediately.” She could not hide the sarcastic smile on her face anymore.

Upon hearing that, Myra immediately froze. In the next instant, she felt a gentle force squeezing her

hands. Gradually, her anxiety and hesitation faded as she held onto Tony’s hands.

“Miss Fisher, I think you have misunderstood something. My circle of friends and my personal schedule

are not open to you. If you want to discuss something with me, please book a time with my secretary.”

Tony spoke calmly with an air of indifference in his eyes. Even though he was stoic, Lyla could sense

the warning in his words that sent a chill down her spine.

He was implicitly warning her that if she dared to attack Myra from now onward, he would not let her off

the hook.

Lyla’s fingernails dug into her palms. The pain in her hands slowly reached her heart, as her facial

expression slowly became distorted.

“Director Hart, if you would like me to say it out loud right now, fine. I hope you can help me. The Chase

Group—”

“You must be joking, Miss Fisher. I’m afraid I don’t have the ability to help you out.”

Without waiting for Lyla to finish her sentence, Tony had interrupted her coldly.

A tinge of impatience was already rising within his eyes as his face turned colder.

Upon seeing that, she felt that she almost could not maintain her balance. She bit her lips harshly as

she thought, I already gave everything that I have. I ignored the fact that Myra is witnessing my

humiliation in exchange for Tony’s help, hoping that he would give me a chance, but…

She shot a glance at the woman next to Tony.

It’s because of Myra, right?

The reason why he helped me back then was to get Myra. Now that Myra is with him, he will not help

me again, knowing that she and I are enemies!

“Why do you say so?” Lyla felt as though her palms had become numb. She managed to remain

standing as she suddenly smiled. “How is it possible that you can’t help me, Director Hart? I know that

you’ve helped Miss Stark out numerous times. Everyone in Bradfort City knows that you are very

capable. Without even hearing me out, you immediately rejected me. Perhaps my request is just an

easy thing for you…”

Under Tony’s piercing glare, Lyla knew that the only option left for her was to talk about Myra because

he did not want Myra to know what he had done in the past. If he declined to help Lyla, then she could

not stay at the Chase Family anymore. In fact, he would not want her to stay at the Chase Family so

that they would not have any reason to keep in touch with each other anymore.

Sweat flowed down from Lyla’s cheeks, but she bit the bullet and forced herself to look at the man in

front of her.
