Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 390

As it turned out, the person he had crashed into was a woman; her face was covered in cuts which

made her look absolutely terrifying. Meanwhile, Tony couldn’t be more familiar with the woman lying on

the ground—Gemma.

She looked miserable from head to toe; there were open wounds on her arms and legs, and fresh

blood was seeping out of her wounds through her clothes. Not only that, the corner of her lips were

also oozing with blood.

She seemed to be in agonizing pain. Even though she was borderline unconscious, she was groaning

softly while her brows were locked together in a tight line.

Tony immediately called the ambulance on the spot before he dialed Leo’s number next; he then

informed Leo of his current location and updated him on the situation. Then, he told Leo to bring some

people over to take care of the matter.

“T-Tony…” Gemma, who had passed out earlier, seemed to be regaining her consciousness. Due to Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

the immense pain that she was in, she turned her head with great difficulty to the man standing next to

her, grimacing as she did so. “You’re… so heartless…”

Tony stared coldly at the woman before him. “Stop talking if you don’t want to die; you don’t want to

waste your energy.”

“Aren’t I… as good as dead… right now?” Gemma recalled the things she found out about her family—

the man in front of her had pushed the Waltons down a bottomless pit of hell! She wanted nothing more

than to kill him right then and there!

“Tony… y-you’ll regret it!” Just then, a splatter of blood escaped her mouth as she coughed, and she

squirmed in pain. “Since you’ve hit me with your car; I w-want to… sue you!”

“I’m afraid I can’t agree to that, Miss Walton.” Sarcasm filled his heart as he stared at the woman

whose life was hanging by a thread. Gemma had probably been overprotected or pampered all her life,

so she always had a skewed perception of the world around her. Even so, did she really think that the

police were stupid?

“I’ve installed a dashcam in my car, so there’s evidence that you ran over and collided with my vehicle

on your own initiative. I understand that you’re eager to save your family, Miss Walton, but I won’t

wrongly accuse someone of knocking me over and intimidate them into bailing out your family like what

you’re doing now. Now that everyone knows the Walton Family is suspected of being involved in

money laundering and many other crimes, aren’t you going too far by doing so, Miss Walton? Have you

thought of the families that were brought to ruins and destroyed by the Walton Family?”

At that moment, Tony deliberately turned around slightly to make sure that the dashcam was recording

every second of their conversation.

Gemma’s chest rose and fell furiously at the sound of Tony’s words. “My grandfather… my father… a-

and my elder brother… they’ve never done any of those things!”

“It’s the police’s job to find out whether they’ve done it or not.” Tony simply stared at her with a hostile

look in his eyes; this made it seem like Gemma was nothing more than garbage.

Meanwhile, Gemma was overcome with pain at the moment; she felt like death could gobble her up at

any time.

At this point, she didn’t have a choice but to mould the public’s opinion and convince them to be on her

side—it was all in effort to paint Tony as the villain and drag him down in the process. However, she

had failed to anticipate the possibility of him possessing the dashcam footage!

She struggled to pick herself off the ground, but her arms and legs were limp like jelly. It was as if she

was slowly losing her senses, including her perception of pain.

“Save me…” This wasn’t the first time that Gemma had been in an accident; she clearly knew what it

meant when she was losing control of her arms and legs. After all, she had just suffered a serious

injury on her arm; if she were to thoroughly lose her arm from another heavy blow this time… At that

moment, regret flashed across her mind—if she had rushed out from the bush just a fraction earlier,

Tony would have had enough time to stop his car. That way, even if he crashed into her, she wouldn’t

have suffered an injury as serious as this. However, she hesitated for a short moment—when she

finally made up her mind, his car was already in front of her. If she had rushed out just a millisecond

later, she would’ve flown quite a distance from the momentum.

“Save me… I-It hurts…” At that moment, Gemma’s eyes were clouded with fear. If she couldn’t frame

Tony and had to suffer a huge repercussion in return, it wouldn’t be worth it at all. However, when she

noticed the cold and merciless look in Tony’s glare, she couldn’t be more sorry for her actions. She

wanted nothing more than to turn back time—how she wished that she had gone overseas with her

mother! Instead, she was stuck in such a devastating state…

She could only watch as fresh blood flowed steadily from the wounds on her arms and legs. Right now,

fear was eating her up rapidly—it filled her brain with panic.

“I’ve already called for an ambulance,” Tony replied coldly before he turned around and walked toward

his car.

They were on an uphill road leading toward their villa, so there weren’t many passing vehicles.

All of a sudden, a red sedan came to a stop right next to Tony’s car and Sasha came down from it. She

took a look at what happened and her expression hardened a little as she turned to ask Tony, “What

happened?”

Tony’s voice was casual when he answered, “Someone’s in a hurry to die.”

Even though he said it leisurely, his words carried a pressuring weight that could send a chill down

one’s spine.

Sasha stiffened up momentarily, and her gaze shifted to the passenger seat of Tony’s car where a

woman was seated. As she pieced the story together herself, she managed to have a rough idea of

what went down here. Nonetheless, she didn’t want to comment much on Gemma’s foolishness either.

Do you need me to send Miss Stark home?” asked Sasha. After all, the area would be swarmed with

people in a while and it’d become noisy and chaotic. Sasha knew that Myra was pregnant, and she

didn’t want the latter to be affected due to such circumstances. Besides, ever since Myra had helped

her out some time ago regardless of the way Sasha treated her in the past, the latter had always been

grateful to the couple.

Tony glanced at the time; considering the fact that the ambulance and Leo needed more than 10

minutes to arrive, he nodded and knocked on the passenger seat’s window.

Myra wound down the window and stared at him with a look of cautiousness and doubt. “The person

from earlier who got hit—was it Gemma?”

Tony nodded; the look in his eyes was now a lot softer than his cold demeanor when he faced Gemma.

“Don’t worry; the dashcam has everything recorded, so I’ll be fine. I’ve called for help and they’ll be

arriving soon; you should leave ahead with Miss Hay. I’ll handle the situation here, all right?”

Myra hesitated for a moment before she replied, “All right.” Then, she opened the door and said to

Sasha, “Thank you.”

“Oh, it’s nothing to worry about.” When Sasha noticed that Myra wasn’t looking too good, she softened

her voice comfortingly and said to her, “Don’t worry about it; Director Hart will deal with it smoothly. The

Waltons are already in a difficult spot right now, so Gemma is only asking for more trouble for what she

did. He’ll be fine, and nothing bad will happen.”

Myra nodded and turned around to face Tony. Then, she gave his hand a squeeze and said, “Okay

then. Come home earlier tonight.”

Myra felt a lot more relieved after learning that Tony had evidence backed up. However, what remained

was the hate for Gemma’s bitter resentment; the woman actually devised a plan as despicable as this

to set Tony up!

“Okay.” Tony gave her a quick hug before letting her go. He then nodded at Sasha and said, “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome.”

Sasha felt both envious and relieved as she watched the couple’s interaction. In the past, she had also

pursued this man with all her heart; sadly, her feelings weren’t returned at all. Since then, she tried

countless times to gain his attention with various low and dishonest methods, but fortunately, the

couple was still willing to help her after all of that.

Soon after, Sasha drove Myra back to the Hart Residence.

Just as they got down from the car, Old Master Hart and Old Madam Hart came rushing out from the

house. They held Myra worriedly and looked her up and down frantically. “How are you feeling? Did

something happen? Are you hurt?”

Myra knew at once that the two had found out about the car accident when she saw their panic-stricken

faces. A warm feeling filled her heart and she replied gently, “Tony and I are both fine; he has to stay

back and deal with the aftermath, so he told me to come home without him.”

“It’s good that you’re fine. You can’t help much if you stay there anyway, so as long as nothing bad

happens, it should be all right. Reporters will be rushing to the scene soon, so it’s better for you to

come home early.” Then, Old Master Hart let out a sigh of relief before he snapped angrily, “That

Gemma is utterly barbarous! She’s not getting away this time—the Harts won’t let her off!”

Back then, he felt that it was too much for a woman like her to be sent to prison on her own; after all,

Tony didn’t suffer much injuries from the incident. Instead, her face was permanently scarred for life.
