Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 195

When Rachel said that, she gently used one hand to stroke her belly. The bump on her belly was not

that obvious, but both of them knew what was inside her belly.

Still, Kris bit her lip. “But, even the doctor has said that this child will never be born. Dad is keeping

such a tight grip over the company shares. If the baby isn’t born, how are we going to get a hold of

those shares?”

The basic condition to gain control over the Stark Group’s shares was for Rachel to give birth to a child.

Moreover, it had to be a boy. They had known since the beginning that this child would not survive.

Initially, they wanted to coax Cameron into handing the shares to them while it was still in her womb.

However, they had underestimated his sense of vigilance.

Rachel’s lips curved. “Do you remember the plan I told you about in the beginning?”

Kris paused for a moment before nodding, “I remember; I’m just scared…”

“Yes. It’s normal to be scared. After all, your father is inherently suspicious. If he realizes that we have

been deceiving him all along, he would never forgive us. But, what if I didn’t lose this child because of

him? Instead; what if Myra caused me to miscarry again?”

achel strongly emphasized the word ‘again’. Kris was taken aback for a moment. After that, her vibrant

lips lifted into a smile and excitement crept into her eyes. “Mom, do you mean…”

“Yes. Didn’t you resent Myra for snatching your man away from you? If everybody sees Myra’s true

colors… What will they think of a person like her who couldn’t even tolerate the birth of a younger

sibling? What will the Hart Family think of her? What will outsiders think of her?” Rachel patted Kris on

the shoulder and quietly continued, “Especially your father; he’s finally getting the son he always

wanted. If he lost his son to Myra, who is single-mindedly trying to reclaim the family assets…”

Although Rachel did not finish the rest of her sentence, Kris immediately understood what she was

aiming for. “Dad said that Tony is only having a fling with Myra. He claims that Tony is only aiming to

obtain Hilliville from her. He also asked me to endure…” Now that Kris had calmed down, she began to

think about what Cameron had said to her.

The corners of Rachel’s mouth curled into a gentle smile. “Your father is still on your side. Kris, we

need to kick Myra out of the Stark Family completely. It doesn’t matter even if we can’t get a hold of the

company shares for the time being. If you are the only daughter Cameron has, then the Stark Group

can only be handed down to you.”

Similarly, a smile finally appeared on Kris’ face. It was a rather cruel smile. Nodding, she replied, “I

understand.”

“As for Tony…” Rachel narrowed her eyes. “That man will surely become my daughter’s! Myra will only

get to enjoy him in the beginning. Once Tony throws her aside…” She stroked Kris’ head. “Naturally,

that will be the time when you take her place.”

Concurrently, Sean swiftly drove back to the Chase Residence. As of this moment, the floor of the

Chase Residence was littered with broken stuff. The living room was more or less destroyed, the TV

screens were smashed, and the outside of the kitchen was full of porcelain shards.

As soon as Greta noticed his return, she quickly greeted him and anxiously said, “I’m so glad you’re

finally back, Mr. Chase! Madam Eve and Young Mistress Lyla have been quarreling non-stop! They

won’t listen to me no matter how hard I try to talk them out of it! Please go and check on them.”

He did not wait for her to finish speaking before brushing past her and walking inside. The first person

he met was Eve. Eve had been slapped in the face, and the red marks on her face were still visible.

The moment she caught sight of Sean, she immediately ran over and wept bitterly. “Sean, I regret this.

You should divorce this woman! Look at how she treats me?! She actually dared to hit me!”

She turned the injured half of her face to him for him to see. However, he said nothing. Similarly, Lyla

also ran over to him upon seeing that he had returned. She was in a worse state than Eve. Both sides

of her face indicated that she had been slapped. One side of her face was swollen. Moreover, both her NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

face and her body were dripping with tea as if somebody had poured tea on her. She looked very

disheveled.

“Sean, Mom hit me first! Look at my body…” She was also crying, looking extremely pitiful and

wronged. “Sean, I tried my best to get along with Mom for your sake. But, she always finds fault with

me. She even had somebody follow me! Whenever we disagree on something, she will immediately

slap me—”

“I told you; I didn’t send anybody to follow you. You are being too suspicious over nothing!” The

expression on Eve’s face was very ugly. She cried her heart out. “The Chase Family should never have

accepted a black-hearted woman like you as our daughter-in-law!”

After being insulted by Eve all night long, Lyla’s rage finally erupted. She couldn’t help retorting, “You

don’t want a daughter-in-law like me? How will you survive your current financial crisis without me?!

Eve Hay, you kicked Myra out after you finished using her. Now, are you trying to kick me out after

you’re done using me?! Let me tell you this: I’m not that easy to bully!”

“You! You—” Eve pointed at Lyla, her finger beginning to tremble. She hurriedly turned and glanced at

Sean. “Sean, I’ve never thought that way before. When she insults me like that, isn’t it equivalent to

insulting you? Sean—”

“That’s enough!” Sean, who had not said a word since he entered the house, suddenly shouted loudly,

preventing the two women from continuing with their accusations. He looked at the two disheveled

figures in front of him and felt a sense of discomfort and exhaustion that he had never felt before.

“Mom, don’t follow Lyla anymore.”

“Sean—”

Seeing that the look in Eve’s eyes was incredulous, he expressionlessly turned to Lyla, who was

looking a little triumphant. His voice became considerably colder than before. “Lyla, don’t forget; she is

my mother and our elder. Did you even think about me when you hit her?!”

Lyla’s originally triumphant expression immediately changed when she heard those words. “Sean, I—”

“What happened today ends here. I don’t want to be called back from the company because of

something like this again.” As soon as he finished speaking, Lyla bit her lip and said, “Sean, you

weren’t at the company today, were you? I called Richard just now; he told me you went out—”

“Why do you care where my son goes?! He is working hard to earn money for your sake! What about

you?! All you know how to do is spend money lavishly! You swipe your card as if you have too much

money! Myra never did that!” The moment the words slipped out of Eve’s mouth, all three people,

including Greta standing by the side, held their breath in fear. Eve became nervous when she saw her

son’s expression instantly turning gloomy.

“That’s right! Myra never used to do that. That’s why you ruthlessly kicked her out of the Chase Family!

She almost went to jail! Will I also be kicked out of the family if I continue doing this? I—” Slap!

Following that, Lyla was prevented from finishing the rest of her sentence. Clutching at her face, she

gazed at the gloomy-faced man next to her in disbelief. Even her voice trembled slightly from shock.

“Sean… You… How dare you hit me?!”

This was the first time Sean looked at her with such a terrible expression ever since she came back. It

was also the first time he ever hit her! In the past, he could never bring himself to say anything harsh to

her. He had always been carefully taking care of her! The tears flowed freely from her eyes. At the

same time, her nails dug into her palms. However, she didn’t seem to notice.

Sean seemed stunned after he slapped her. Even so, he quickly regained his composure and coldly

said to her, “Calm down.”

“Why should I calm down?!” Lyla was sobbing even harder than before while pointing at Eve and Sean.

“Great. Just great. Both you and her… You’re both bullying me. So, are you done using me? Is that it?

Sean, how dare you treat me like this…” She staggered backward, stepped on the shards of a broken

plate, and fell to the ground. Not far away lay the remnants of a plate of steamed fish. When she saw

the fish and smelled the fishy smell, her expression immediately changed. Then, she abruptly turned

away and retched for a long time.

Eve’s expression changed drastically too.

Standing by the side, Greta fearfully asked, “Young Mistress Lyla… Are you… pregnant?”
