Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 270

Sebastian did not expect to get fooled by both of them.

That video in the news report tarnished the Hart Family’s reputation.

At his age, he had gone through numerous hardships, but this was the first time someone had spoken

ill of him. It was the first time he looked so enraged after going out fishing today.

…

When Tony returned to the apartment, he did not find Myra there.

He also called the villa, but the caretaker did not see Myra return.

After he hung up the phone, his expression sank even further. There’s no way her phone ran out of

battery. She must have switched it off on purpose. But where did she go after switching her phone off?

A strange look flickered across his eyes. Turning the car around, he started driving toward the Hart

Residence.

…

“Tell me. Did you develop feelings for him first or did he? My family has always been upright, but

something like this happened today. All this time, you had many chances to explain to me, but you

chose to stay silent. I’m very disappointed in you, Myra.”

She was stung by that last sentence. Her face was starting to break out into a sweat, but she did not

know how to explain all of this.

Feeling a sharp pain in her palms, she clenched her teeth and said, “I did.” She quickly looked at the

old man in front of her then lowered her head and bit her lip. “It was me, Old Master Hart. I liked him

first. I’m really sorry for bringing shame to the Hart Family. I’m sorry.”

Her throat felt rough, and her voice also sounded hoarse.

Across from her, Sebastian looked at her with a clear gaze. When he narrowed his eyes, the corners of

his eyes slanted sharply. “Very well…” He crumpled the piece of paper and tossed it in the trash can. “I

always thought you were wise and well-behaved but it turns out you’re no different from other women.”

Sebastian was truly infuriated this time. When he left the club earlier, he did not miss the way his

friends were gloating. He had never been so humiliated in his life before.

“How do you think this should be settled?” He stared straight at her. His eyes looked calm but also

seemed entangled within a storm.

“I-I don’t know,” she answered with difficulty.

He narrowed his eyes on her. He found it hard to believe the news report about the kind of person she

was, but it was true that she had kept many secrets from him.

Pursing his lips, he glared at Myra as if he was going to burn a hole through her face.

The atmosphere came to a standstill for a moment.

Then, Sebastian let out a cold snicker. “You counted on that impudent brat for not leaving you, so

you’ve always been fearless in front of me and disrespected me!”

Bewildered, she quickly shook her head. “I’ve never had that thought before. You’re an elder that I

respect as well as Tony’s grandfather. How could I disrespect you?”

“Hmph. You’re a smooth talker. Was this how you deceived that impudent brat?” Sebastian’s

expression did not improve after Myra spoke. Suddenly, he jabbed his walking cane beside him while

grumbling to show his frustration.

If she was really the kind of woman who had an affair with his grandson, even if he was fond of her, he

still felt repulsed. He couldn’t bear to let her go, but it was difficult to let her stay.

His frown deepened.

It was a daunting feeling he never had before.

At the same time, he also felt resentful.

It’s their fault for committing such a foul act! They even need me to worry about them now!

His lips were pressed tightly together as he looked coldly at a nervous Myra.

“Myra, I’m willing to talk through anything, but this time…” It looked like he had already made up his Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

mind. Taking a deep breath, he looked sternly at her and continued, “I can’t ignore this. We can’t have

people who commit immoral acts in our family. This is my bottom line. I can’t accept it. I have to—”

“Have to what?”

With a bang, the door to the study suddenly swung open from the outside. It bounced back and forth

against the wall before slowly coming to a stop.

The two people inside the room looked at the door in shock.

“Tony…”

When Myra saw Tony’s fierce and handsome face, she felt at ease for a moment but quickly became

even more nervous as she turned to look at Sebastian.

His expression looked even worse now.

Looking at his grandson walk in with a sullen expression, Sebastian wanted to throw the inkstone by

his hand at Tony.

“The audacity you have to come home.” Sebastian’s voice was even colder than when he was talking

to Myra before. “You should be lucky the reporter didn’t reveal your name. Tony Hart, how dare you

come home? Why did you come home? To see how much of a mess we’re in because of you? Should

we show our faces to the world and let people humiliate us?”

His voice made it sound like he was close to exploding with rage.

Ever since Tony was little, he always made Sebastian concerned. If it wasn’t for the early deaths of his

son and daughter-in-law, Sebastian wouldn’t have cared about Tony. Among his grandchildren, Damian

was the most well-behaved one while Tony was the most worrisome one!

Sebastian used his walking cane to hit against the floor even more loudly. Trembling with fear upon

hearing it, Myra pressed, “Old Master Hart, don’t bother with Tony—”

“Be quiet!” Sebastian yelled suddenly, cutting off her words.

Tony’s face grew darker. Walking up to Myra from behind, he reached out and pulled her by the hand.

With his temper, he would’ve taken Myra and brought her out at this moment. This time, however, he

did not want to make matters worse for her. Pursing his lips, he looked up with an unusual

determination in his deep and black eyes. “I want to marry Myra.”

“What did you say?” Sebastian was threatening to go frantic.

Myra pulled him back by the hand and sent him a signal with her eyes to not say any more, but he only

held her hand even tighter and turned to Sebastian. “I want to marry Myra.”

Sebastian scoffed, “This child.” He was laughing out of anger. All of a sudden, he flung the inkstone in

his hand and yelled, “Without even giving me an apology upon returning, you’re just going to announce

that you want to marry Myra? Who gave you the audacity to still bring this up in front of me?”

The inkstone flew toward Tony’s body, but he did not avoid it and let it hit him on the shoulder.

Since Myra was standing close to him, she could hear the short clacking sound. It must have injured

Tony’s bones. Turning pale, she immediately went to check on his shoulder.

“He won’t die. Why the rush?” Sebastian mocked as he looked at Myra.

In a spur of the moment, she grabbed Tony’s hand tightly and looked at Sebastian. “Old Master Hart, I

told you already. I was the one who had feelings for him first, but before my divorce from Sean, I did not

cross the line. I hope you believe me.”

“Who said you were the one who had feelings first?” In an instant, Tony understood the meaning

behind her words. When he was reminded of Sebastian’s words as he arrived at the door earlier, his

face fell. Narrowing his eyes at Sebastian, he said, “I liked her first; a few years ago. I just didn’t get the

chance. When I returned this time, I held onto those feelings with the intention of marrying Myra.”
