Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 341

They lied; they all lied to me!

They told me plastic surgery would help and they said my face would be back to normal after going

through surgery! However, it’s all lies and now they’re going to trick me into leaving the country!

Grandpa, Dad, Mom, and Gideon… They’re all going to give up on me so they’ve all been keeping this

a secret from me!

At this moment, Gemma’s heart ached painfully and she hated the situation she was in. At the same

time, she felt despondent and fearful of the scar on her face. I don’t want to be like this forever and I

want to regain my beauty. I just want my pretty face back!

She ran out from the hospital room and headed straight to Tony’s room. I need to see him right away

and I want to tell him that my disfigurement is because of him! If he hadn’t provoked and angered me or

made that sudden sharp turn, I wouldn’t have crashed into the truck that was parked in front. If all that

hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have ended up looking like such a monstrosity right now!

He has to bear responsibility for this! He must bear the responsibility! And so, Gemma barged into

Tony’s room but at this point, he had already left the place. As she failed to get hold of him, she turned

around and rushed toward the nearby elevator.

The two bodyguards were not quick enough to stop her and they watched on helplessly as she exited

the elevator and walked out of the hospital.

“Sh*t!” One of the bodyguards hit the wall in frustration after realizing that he had failed in stopping

her. Meanwhile, the other bodyguard chased her up to the elevator entrance. After reporting the

situation to Gideon, both of them hurriedly got into the other elevator that had just arrived and frantically

made their way downstairs.

…

Most of Tony’s work was put on hold after his accident so as soon as he arrived back at the office, he

went straight back into handling everything. As for Myra, she felt quite sleepy so she went into the

lounge to take a nap. After waking up from her nap, she came out of the lounge and saw Leo reporting

something to Tony with a frown on his face.

“—the Walton Family is quite careful in this aspect, so we haven’t been successful in tracing the

company details of each investor.”

As soon as Tony noticed Myra rubbing her eyes while walking into the room, he gestured to Leo with an

impassive face and said, “Noted; I’ll make arrangements for the upcoming plans. Just make sure to let

Shawn know not to act rashly for now.”

“Sure, Director Hart.” Leo nodded in response and then greeted Myra quickly as he walked out of the

door. Before he left, he was considerate enough to shut the door behind him.

“What were you talking about before this? You two looked quite somber and there was a frown on both

of your faces.” Myra walked toward Tony and removed the document in his hand before glaring at him.

“You haven’t recovered completely, so stop putting further strain on your hand. Just let me or Leo know

if you need anything.”

Tony kept silent and he just stared at her fixedly with a dark and brooding gaze. Myra knew that he

must be considering something important so she left him alone and she decided to go and pour him a

glass of water. However, just as she turned around, he grabbed hold of her hand.

Myra didn’t dare to exert any force, so she turned around once more to look at him. “What’s wrong?”

Tony smiled at her as he let go of her hand. He then tilted his body to the left, signaling to her that he

wanted to get something from the bottom-most drawer. Myra immediately took the hint and opened the

drawer for him. “What are you after? I’ll get it for you.”

Tony nodded and hummed in response. “It’s the one on top; just take that out from the drawer.”

Myra did as instructed and removed the topmost document in the drawer before handing it to him. The

document was kept stored in a brown document bag. She was just about to hand it to him but he didn’t

take it from her. “Why don’t you open it up and take a look?” he said to her tenderly.

Feeling perplexed, Myra shot him a look and opened the brown document bag, only to find a small

stack of A4 papers filled with words. As soon as Myra saw the title, she immediately knew what this

was about.

This was the agreement specifying the transfer of her twenty percent shares in the Stark Group which

she had left as a guaranty with Mr. Engelhard. Right now, it was clearly specified that all the shares she

had left as guaranty with Mr. Engelhard now belonged to her. Myra was significantly stunned upon

seeing that and it took a while for her to register what was going on. “What—”

“Aren’t you happy?” Tony noticed her shocked expression and he reached out to pull her onto his lap. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

He kept his eyes on her as his low voice echoed by her ears.

“I’m happy, but…” Myra turned around and stared at the man in front of her; currently, there was a

slight smile on his face. “What’s with all this?” She glanced at the date and noticed that this wasn’t a

recent arrangement. In fact, it was not long after her divorce from Sean. Myra felt a warm, fuzzy feeling

in her heart and she could feel her breath quicken in response. “Actually, you don’t have to do all

this…”

The money she had previously invested into the Chase Group was due in no time and she would be

getting back the full amount soon. She had already made plans to use that money to redeem her

shares for the Stark Group that was in Mr. Engelhard’s hands. Unbeknown to her, this man in front of

her had already redeemed it for her.

“Tony, I…” As she held onto the document, she was at a complete loss of words.

Tony pecked her cheek before he placed his chin above her head. He sounded quite content and

happy as he drawled, “I’ve wanted to give this to you for quite some time now. I came up with all sorts

of ways to hand it to you but in the end, I’ve gone for the most straightforward way of just handing it to

you like this.” Tony chuckled as he recalled this present that he held on for so long and yet didn’t

manage to give it to her. “I actually wanted to get Mr. Engelhard or Grandpa to give it to you, but then I

realized that I should be the one to hand it to you personally. Myra, this isn’t a dowry. Not only is this a

gift, this also represents my love and commitment toward you.”

He then leaned in to kiss her on the lips and nibbled on it as he said in a low voice, “Take a look at the

other document behind it.”

Myra was already significantly stunned by his generous gift. As soon as she heard his words, she

obediently flipped to the back of the stack of documents. There was another agreement behind the

transfer of shares of the Stark Group; it was one that specified the transfer of shares of the Hart Group

and the beneficiary name on it was Myra.

She instantly stood up from Tony’s lap upon seeing that. Gripping tightly onto the agreement, she said

in a hoarse voice, “You have to change the details on these two agreements; otherwise, I’ll tear it up

and it’ll be redundant.”

She made an action to rip the agreement apart. Upon seeing that, Tony immediately grabbed one of

her hands and smiled. “ The agreement is in duplicate copies so even if you rip it up, I’ll still have the

other copy. Besides, this agreement is legally binding so even if you tear it up, the content of it remains

unchanged.”

Tony couldn’t control his laughter upon noticing Myra’s torn look. He wrapped his arms around her once

again and said, “Anyone else who received these two gifts would have been elated but you’re the

complete opposite—all I can see is shock and alarm on your face. You’ve robbed me of my sense of

accomplishment!”

“This is different… This is all originally yours—”

“What’s mine is yours too, right?” Tony reached out to remove the documents from her hands to

prevent her from ripping them up. He glanced at the last document again. Fifty percent of the shares he

owned in the Hart Group now belonged to Myra.

In all honesty, he didn’t care too much about all this. He was quite willing to give Myra everything he

owned because he trusted her. However, Leo had convinced him to hold on to a percentage of the

shares in order to run the company.

“Keep this in a safe place. You might need it in the future.”

Tony could tell that she was still struggling to come to terms with this so he raised his brows before

kissing her eyes gently. “You can think of it as keeping custody of it for our child.”

“But—”

“I’ll be quite unhappy if you keep this up.” Tony’s low voice rang out and he decided to seal her mouth

with a deep kiss. After a while, Myra finally nodded her head hesitantly. “Okay, then; I’ll keep custody of

it for our child.” After that, she lifted her head and said, “If you need to use this, just let me know and I’ll

bring it to you right away.”

“Okay.” Tony wrapped his hand around hers and he smiled tenderly.

Myra could somehow sense that he was behaving strangely today or perhaps more accurately, she felt

that he was behaving strangely after she woke up from her nap. Logically speaking, however, things

should be fine between them right now. He had just confessed to her about all the things he did in the

past and they had reached a mutual understanding, so it wasn’t necessary for him to try so hard to

please her.
