Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 382

As Myra looked at the document in her hand, a feeling of restlessness surged up within her. Then, she

stuffed the document back in Sharon’s hands and said, “Can you run an errand for me, Sharon? Send

this back—I know the address of that man’s company.”

Meanwhile, the florist named Sharon looked somewhat ill at ease. “I can do it for you, but the person

predicted that you’d send this back, Miss Stark. He said that the document in it has come into effect, so

you must go to him personally if you want to amend it…”

Myra opened the brown paper bag speechlessly. As Tony mentioned, it contained individual shares of

the Stark Group; Sean had listed her as the beneficiary after buying them. Myra pressed her lips

together, took out her cell phone, and dialed a number. When the call finally picked up, she asked, “Mr.

Kennedy, what procedures do I need to go through in order to return the Stark Group’s shares given by

someone else?” When she got the answer from the other end of the phone, she looked somewhat

glum. “I got it. Thank you,” she said politely before hanging up. With that, Myra turned to look at Sharon

helplessly. “I’m going out, so please watch over the shop for me.”

“It’s okay, Miss Stark. Don’t worry about it and go ahead with your stuff; I’ll watch over the shop.”

Sharon waved to her.

Myra let out a sigh and picked up the document. Then, she turned around and left the flower shop.

Sean was a lunatic, and Myra had to go to him this time despite knowing that he deliberately wanted

her to do so. She didn’t want to accept any gifts from him without rhyme or reason, for this would make

her feel very upset.

…

Meanwhile, Eve stormed into the Chase Group’s building. When the receptionist noticed her arrival,

she quickly stood up and greeted her by shouting, “Good afternoon, Madam Eve!”

However, Eve turned a deaf ear to it and walked directly toward the elevator.

At the sight of the scene, the receptionist immediately called Richard to tell him what had happened.

On the other hand, Sean was on the phone with someone. Now that the Stark Group was in danger of

collapsing, many of its shareholders were interested in selling the shares they were holding. Sean had

already bought quite a lot of the shares, but he was still contacting people ceaselessly.

The person on the other end of the line happily sold his shares to Sean at the price Sean quoted. After

the two of them agreed on it, the person couldn’t help but ask, “Please excuse me for speaking bluntly,

Director Chase. You know as well that the Stark Group is in a bad situation right now, and the slightest

carelessness can cause the company to fall into a bottomless pit, so why would you want to get

involved in this mess? Of course, I’m very grateful to you for buying up the shares I hold in the Stark

Group. I’d be reduced to poverty and ruin if you don’t do so.”

Sean attempted a smile as he recalled a past memory. It seemed that he wanted to smile, but he only

managed a faint smile in the end. “I just want to help a person.”

“Who do you want to help? Could the person be Miss Stark, our general manager?” asked the person.

Some emotion seemed to flash across Sean’s eyes as he muttered softly, “Mm-hm.”

The person sighed. “I heard about the matter between the two of you. I thought you divorced her

because you didn’t want to be with her anymore, but it seems that there are still many things that I don’t

know. Nonetheless…” The person on the other end of the line hesitated for a moment. Then, he

couldn’t help but continue, “I’m giving you a few words of reminder for your own good, Director Chase.

There are limits to helping someone, so don’t ignore everything else for her sake… After all, she may

not appreciate the favor you’re doing for her.”

Everyone already knew that Myra was together with Tony, the Hart Group’s director and future heir.

Now that there was a comparison, no one believed that Myra would dump Tony and get back together

with Sean. Meanwhile, Sean’s reckless acquisition of the Stark Group’s shares would put a strain on

the Chase Group’s cash flow. If anything happened, what Sean gained wouldn’t make up for what he

had lost, for Myra would definitely not appreciate his kindness.

Of course, the person didn’t say that in such an offensive way. After all, it was a good thing for him that

Sean wanted to buy his shares.

Sean replied flatly, “Me helping her is my own business, so you just have to agree to sell the shares

you’re holding, Mr. Sutton. I have lost many chances when it comes to her, so I don’t want to lose the

last chance to persuade her to stay with me.”

When he saw how determined Sean was, the person on the other end of the line could only joke

around. He said, “Since you think so, Director Chase, I can only wish that you manage to hold your

beloved woman in your arms as soon as possible.”

“Thank you,” Sean replied.

Before he could hang up, the door to his office suddenly swung open. Eve looked as black as thunder,

and she was followed by Richard; the latter’s helplessness was written all over his face as he nodded

to Sean and said, “Madam Eve is here, Director Chase.”

Once he hung up his cell phone with a poker face, Sean gave Richard a wave and looked at Eve. He

greeted impassively and said, “Mom.”

Eve was almost overwhelmed by the sadness within her as she looked at the apathetic-looking man

before her. Her son had been so apathetic toward her ever since he overheard her conversation with

Lyla last time. It was as if the two of them had become strangers; he wouldn’t go home to visit her, nor

would he call her on his own initiative. Instead, he had silently done a lot of things for that b*tch!

“I have a meeting in a while, so I won’t be keeping you company if you have nothing to talk to me

about, Mom,” Sean said. Then, he casually took a document from his desk and walked outside, but Eve

stopped him halfway. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Did you divert our family’s part of the emergency funds, Sean?!” Eve felt extremely unhappy upon

hearing Sean’s words, for she knew that he simply didn’t want to be in her company. However, some

matters had to be resolved!

At the same time, she looked as miserable as sin.

“Yeah. Something urgent happened to the company, so I needed to divert that part of the funds to cope

with the situation. I’ll return the money when things smooth over.”

The Chase Family had kept some money in reserve ever since it recovered from its previous woes, but

these funds could only be used when the Chase Group was in crisis. Recently, Eve discovered that

their family’s emergency funds had been diverted. Not only that, the emergency funds were diverted for

the purpose of…

“Really? In that case, tell me about the emergency that’s happening to our company. I’ll see if we need

to find another way.” Eve’s hands clenched tightly into fists by her sides. She didn’t expect that her son

had become so crazy about Myra. Was he going to lose the entire Chase Group if she hadn’t

discovered what he was doing?

“It’s not anything serious, so you don’t have to be worried, Mom.” Sean frowned impassively before

attempting to walk past Eve and go outside.

However, Eve grabbed his arm this time. “Stay where you are!” She gritted her teeth. Eve was no

longer able to restrain herself, and she thundered at him, “Did you use the Chase Group’s emergency

funds to buy the Stark Group’s shares, Sean?!”

A trace of emotion quickly flickered across Sean’s eyes, but he remained calm. “There’s no such thing.

Who did you hear this from?” he asked. He tried to get Eve’s hand off him, but when she wouldn’t let

go, he furrowed his brows. “I said that I have a meeting to attend, Mom. Just tell Richard if you have

anything to say; he’ll convey it to me.”

“We are mother and son, Sean—have we come to the point of depending on outsiders to deliver

messages to each other?!” Eve had panic and determination written all over her face. “I know that you

bought the Stark Group’s shares with the money! You’re buying the Stark Group’s shares during such a

time to give them to Myra, right?! Did she come to you? Did she demand the Stark Group’s shares from

you?! I’m telling you, Sean… You mustn’t treat her in such a way! She’s simply an ingrate who bites the

hand that feeds her. Now that she’s together with Tony, she won’t come back to you even if she

accepts what you’ve given her!”
