Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 384

“Well, do you know why she won’t come back to me, Mom?” Sean’s face darkened the instant he heard

Eve’s words, and he stared at her without concealing the fierce glint in his eyes. “Would Myra and I

have come to this point in our relationship had you not kept being secret about the matter with Lyla’s

baby?! Aren’t you the one who caused all this, Mom?!”

“I know that you hate me, Sean, but what happened is already in the past… Now that Myra doesn’t

want to return to your side, she won’t come back to you even if you give the Chase Group to her!”

Eve’s heart was full of desolation and fear as she saw her son behaving in such a manner. She was

afraid that the Chase Group would be reduced to ruins in such a way, and that they would go back to

being poverty-stricken as they were a few years ago. “Listen to me, Sean—don’t do anything stupid.

Now that you guys have divorced each other, you two are no longer related. Don’t put the Chase Group

in jeopardy for Myra’s sake. The Chase Group is the result of you and your father’s hard work, so how

could you have the heart to do this?!”

“The former Chase Group is already finished, and the current Chase Group… Mom, you know very well

who should take the credit for the Chase Group’s restoration to its current state. Myra wants the Stark

Group, and this is her only chance.” Sean didn’t avert his eyes as a flicker of determination flashed

across them.

“Even if Myra should take the credit, you guys have squared up whatever should be squared up

between you two during the divorce! This isn’t her only chance; even if it is, it has nothing to do with

you! As far as I know, Tony is completely infatuated with Myra, so she’ll definitely take advantage of

him. With the Hart Group stepping in, you don’t have to help her at all. Listen to my advice, Sean. Calm

down—”

“I have never been so calm…” A trace of anguish crept into Sean’s heart as he knew what his mother

was thinking. However, he deeply realized these days how unbearable it was to live without Myra. The

tenderness and affection that she once showed him cut his heart cruelly like knives. It was said that

one would never know how important a woman was to them until she left completely, and Sean was

deeply aware of it now. Not wanting to say anything else to Eve, he rudely shoved her away.

As a result of the hard push, Eve bumped into Sean’s desk, causing unbearable pain in her elbow. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

However, she couldn’t care less about the pain and yelled at her son, “You’ll regret it, Sean! That

woman isn’t worthy of you treating her like this at all!”

“Whether she’s worthy of it or not is my own business. You’d better stop coming to the company, Mom,”

Sean replied coldly at the door before leaving his office right away.

Eve gritted her teeth behind him. It never occurred to her before that Myra would have such a great

influence on her son! Myra was about to get married, yet her son was still unwilling to give up!

“It must be her! Myra must have done something to Sean!” Eve’s heart was so full of hatred that she

was burning with rage. Her family never had peace for a moment ever since Myra married her son; she

had a hard time sending this scourge away, yet she didn’t know what this scourge had done to her son!

Eve was at her wits’ end. She wanted to stop her son from making decisions, but she wasn’t in charge

of the company right now, so she couldn’t do anything at all. As she headed downstairs, she saw the

familiar woman in the Chase Group’s lobby. In an instant, her eyes filled with rage, and she walked

toward the front desk furiously.

…

Myra used to work at the Chase Group, but there was no trace of nostalgia within her when she came

back to this building. She asked the receptionist in a businesslike tone, “Sorry to trouble you, but I’d like

to see Director Chase.”

Of course, the receptionist knew Myra as well. Upon hearing Myra’s words, she thought for a moment

and called Richard upstairs. After getting the order from above, she hung up and looked at Myra with a

smile. “Director Chase would like to meet you upstairs, Miss… Stark.”

“Thank you.”

After expressing her thanks, Myra turned around and was about to walk upstairs when someone

suddenly grabbed her long hair from behind with tremendous strength. Myra was caught unprepared,

and her scalp was so painful that she trembled all over.

Then, she heard a woman’s shrill and venomous voice from behind. “How could you have the cheek to

come to the Chase Group, Myra?! I have caught you red-handed this time, haven’t I?! I’m telling you—

don’t think that I don’t know what you’re up to right now. You’d better stop what you’re doing; don’t

covet anything belonging to the Chase Group, for I won’t give you even a coin!”

Myra came to her senses and immediately swung her hand backward to hit the person behind her, and

it resulted in a loud slap across Eve’s face.

When Eve felt the pain, she let go of Myra; the latter promptly stepped back to keep a safe distance

from the woman.

“Are you insane, Mrs. Chase?” Myra’s scalp hurt terribly, and her face darkened instantly at the sight of

Eve. Meanwhile, the older woman looked as mad as hell.

“You’d be the one driving me crazy if I’m insane!” Eve covered the slapped part of her face while

glaring at Myra with a look of bitter hatred. “How could you be so shameless, Myra? Not only did you

seduce my son while seducing Tony, you even shamelessly asked my son for money! Are you so short

of money?!”

Myra’s eyes were full of mockery. “Who seduced your son, and who asked your son for money?! Don’t

talk nonsense and make some trumped-up charges against me, Mrs. Chase.”

“Didn’t you do so?!” Eve let out a sneer. “Do you think I’m unaware of that? If you didn’t do so, why

would you come to my son’s company to see him?! He divorced you long ago, and you got engaged to

Tony way back! Why are you meeting him if you have no business to do with him?!”

“You should ask your son about that.” Myra didn’t want to see Eve, but she knew she couldn’t flinch at

this moment, so she directly tossed the brown paper bag in her hand to Eve. “Mrs. Chase, may I

trouble you to advise your son not to come to me again or give me something odd? You know as well

that I’m engaged, so it won’t be good if word spreads about this, don’t you think so?”

“That’s bullsh*t!” Eve was so angered that she unintentionally blurted out an expletive. When she saw

the look of disgust in the receptionist’s eyes, her chest heaved up and down in anger. “You’re the one

who’s pestering my son! Myra, is it not enough that you have Tony? Why must you keep clinging to my

son?! What a shameless woman you are!”

“You’d better watch your mouth, Mrs. Chase.” Myra’s eyes darkened in an instant. She had seen how

crazy Eve could be a long time ago; had she known Eve was at the Chase Group today, she wouldn’t

have come to meet Sean directly.

“Are you asking me to watch my mouth? In that case, don’t open your legs in front of my son!” Eve’s

face flushed crimson with anger; she couldn’t sleep all night when she thought of how Myra kept

bewitching her son since her divorce. “Don’t think that I don’t know you have carried on with Elliot

before getting together with Tony. Can you count how many men you’ve slept with?! Now, don’t think of

—”

However, a loud slap interrupted Eve and caused everyone around her to stop what they were doing;

everyone looked this way in shock. As she covered her face as best as she could near the front desk,

Eve looked at her son in disbelief. “Sean… Y-You…”

“Send my mother back, Richard. She isn’t in her right mind today.” Sean glanced at Eve with a stony

expression as if he wasn’t the person who had raised his hand and slapped his mother across the face

just now.

Eve still wanted to say something, but Richard knitted his brows and dragged her outside with all his

might. “Please don’t be impulsive, Madam Eve. Just leave the rest to Director Chase.”

“I’m not leaving! Why should I leave?! This is the Chase Group—it’s my family’s company! What a

nerve you’ve got, Richard! Hurry up and let go of me…” Eve’s angry voice gradually faded away

despite her struggle.
