Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 580

A minute had passed since the call was answered, but no matter what Heather said, there was no

response on Myra’s side. Heather suspected that Myra’s phone was having some issues, so she ended

the call. After pondering for a bit, she decided to video-call Myra on Messenger.

Even after a while, however, Myra still did not pick up; perhaps she wasn’t even online. Feeling that

something fishy was going on, Heather tried calling Myra’s number again.

This time, no one answered. Heather started to have a bad feeling about this. What is going on? She

knitted her brows together. Someone answered the phone earlier, but why is there no answer now?

When she tried to call Myra again, the line was apparently busy. Heather stared at her phone in

disbelief. The whole situation was rather unusual; she didn’t think it wasn’t just a simple phone bug

anymore. Where on earth is Myra right now?

Heather put down her phone and fell into deep thought. I haven’t seen Myra for a few days. She hasn’t

been active on her Instagram Stories lately, nor has she reached out to me. In any case, this silence is

quite inconceivable.

Suddenly, her phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from Myra, she answered it immediately. On the

other end of the call, Myra’s worn-out voice came through. “Heather.”

“Myra, are you unwell?” Heather felt that her voice didn’t sound right at all. Could something have

happened?

“I’m doing great. Did you want to talk to me about something?” Her voice sounded extremely stiff.

Heather’s intuition was telling her that Myra was hiding something from her.

“Myra, we agreed yesterday to meet up today. Do you have time now?” Heather thought that if she saw

Myra, she would be able to figure out a thing or two. Seeing Myra this way, Heather was even more

desperate to meet up with her now.

“Heather, something came up at the last minute, so I won’t be able to go out with you.” Myra refused

gently. She was so excited about meeting up yesterday, but something suddenly came up today.

Heather was getting a strong feeling that something was wrong. It was apparent that Myra was, indeed,

keeping her in the dark. “Are you at home now? What’s so urgent?” Heather wanted to confirm her

location so she could go look for her.

“I’m outside. I’ll talk to you later.” Her voice sounded slightly flustered. Right after she finished speaking,

she hung up the phone.

After getting hung up on, Heather simply stared at her phone miserably. Myra did not tell her where she

was, so she couldn’t go look for her. Regardless of what had happened to Myra, Heather wasn’t able to

rush to her side. What exactly happened that Myra is keeping me completely out of it?

Thinking about it for a moment, Heather decided to give Tony a call. Perhaps he would know some

things she didn’t.

After calling him a few times, however, she still couldn’t reach him. Putting her phone away dejectedly,

she wondered, What are those two doing? They’re being so mysterious. Did they get into an argument

with each other? Is this situation happening because they are in the middle of working things out at the

moment?

Thus, Heather decided to go to Myra’s house. If she guessed right, then they would be at home now.

With that thought in mind, she quickly got moving. She didn’t like to meddle in other people’s affairs,

but she was especially worried because it had to do with Myra.

By the time she arrived at their new house, it was already noon. She pressed on the doorbell and was

greeted by the Hart Family’s helper.

“Miss Langston, what brings you here?” The helper was familiar with Heather. She knew that Myra and

Heather were really good friends.

“Where’s Mrs. Hart?” Heather asked while assuming that Myra was probably inside the house.

“Mrs. Hart is not home. May I know why you’re looking for her, Miss Langston?” The helper’s smile was

a little unnatural. Hence, Heather tried to get some clues from her expression.

The helper became even more restless under Heather’s gaze. At the same time, Heather also felt like

she was being impolite. Looking at the helper with a smile, Heather replied, “It’s nothing major. We

agreed to spend the day together today. She should be back soon.”

She did her best to sound relaxed and ease the helper’s nerves. As much as she wanted to go inside

to wait for Myra, the helper was standing in the way of the door without any intention of letting her in. It

was strange because it wasn’t proper etiquette at all.

“When Mrs. Hart went out, she told me she would be back very late. So…” The helper was looking at

Heather with a troubled expression. The tension felt awkward between them now.

Heather laughed it off nonchalantly. “Is that so? I guess she really has forgotten about our plans today.”

Since she wasn’t able to enter the house, she might as well find a way out for herself.

Upon leaving the place, she heard the door shut tightly behind her. Turning around to look intently at

the villa behind her, she felt like a pair of eyes was watching her from the window on the second floor.

After that, she left the place without looking back. Having been to Myra’s new house, she felt like things

were even more suspicious now. Not only had Myra stammered over the phone, the helper was also

acting abnormally. Additionally, she wasn’t able to reach Tony on the phone.

At the thought of that, she tried to call Tony once more but only heard a precise automated female

voice come through the phone.

His phone was turned off now. Raising her eyebrows gently, she thought, It looks like things are getting

stranger. This definitely isn’t good news.

First, Robert kept his disease from Heather all this time, and now, even Myra was hiding something

from her. Heather was suddenly in distress. Why is there a problem today with the only two people I

care about in my life?

At the moment, she did not know who to go to. She didn’t want to ask Leon for help anymore for she

also knew that ever since the explosion last time, Leon had one more thing bothering him. He couldn’t

even manage his own problems, so she didn’t want to give him more trouble. For a period of time, she

had troubled him quite a bit. Thus, she couldn’t keep doing as she pleased anymore.

She also thought about Matthias. Nevertheless, she didn’t want him to get involved in anything that had

to do with Myra. In that case, she could only rely on her own hard work to look for an answer. At some

point, she learned how to depend on other people for help even though dealing with problems on her

own had always been her method of doing things.

Just as she was about to take the first step in her investigation, her attention was drawn to a car. It was

a limited-edition Bugatti; it made clear the driver’s exceptional status in society.

She recalled this car belonging to Caleb Moriarty. I can’t believe I’m seeing his car in front of Myra’s

house. Should I go up and say hi to him?

Shortly after, the car door opened, and Tony stepped out. Heather was thankful that she was inside the

car now, or else he would’ve noticed her.

Since when did Caleb and Tony get so close to each other? Caleb is even sending Tony home in his

own luxury car. They were chatting and laughing; it didn’t look like they were in opposition to each

other.

Heather kept her eyes fixed outside the car window. Indeed, this was truly an unusual situation. She

was still wondering why Myra wasn’t with Tony. Even after waiting for a while, she didn’t see Myra

come out of Caleb’s car. But when the car door opened earlier, she clearly saw the edge of a woman’s

dress.

There’s definitely a woman in Caleb’s car, but that woman isn’t Myra. Who on earth could that woman

be? Heather felt puzzled. Moreover, she couldn’t understand why Tony and Caleb were together.

She didn’t reach a conclusion regardless of how much she thought it over. For that reason, she decided

to follow Caleb. Luckily, she was not driving the car she normally did.

That way, people couldn’t easily guess her identity by looking at her car. After Caleb and Tony

exchanged a few more words with each other, they went their separate ways.

Just then, Heather wished she had supernatural abilities to be able to see their expressions and listen

in on their conversation.

A while later, Caleb went back into his car. It was clear now that the woman had something to do with

Caleb. Heather wanted to follow them to see for herself.

For some reason, the edge of that woman’s dress looked rather familiar to Heather, but she couldn’t

remember where she had seen it before. While maintaining some distance, she followed carefully

behind Caleb’s car. I don’t think he noticed me. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Once the car went on the overpass, Caleb suddenly sped up. If it weren’t for the lack of cars on the

overpass then, an accident would’ve taken place.

The speed of the Bugatti surpassed that of Heather’s ordinary Mercedes-Benz, so she watched in

anguish as Caleb disappeared before her eyes. She wasn’t sure which way he took to get off the

overpass.

Before she had time to react, Caleb disappeared without a trace, and she could only pick a random

path to get off. Once she was off the overpass, she tried to look for the platinum Bugatti but failed to

find it. Before she realized, she had arrived in the city center.

Currently, the traffic was incredibly congested, so even if the Bugatti appeared in front of her, it would

be impossible for her to follow after it.

“Did he notice that I was following him?” she mumbled to herself. Nevertheless, it was expected. Caleb

was a general—his acute countermeasure ability was not comparable to that of an average person.

If anyone were to blame, it was Heather’s fault for wanting to follow Caleb. She had alerted him

already. At the time, she should’ve pretended as though she hadn’t seen anything and quietly returned

to Langston Residence.

She was truly torn between who to trust now. On the surface, Tony and Caleb were not hostile with

each other, but she couldn’t be certain. After all, Robert still addressed Caleb as a distinguished guest

on the outside. It looks like Caleb is really putting on a great act.

Presently, the three families had yet to get into a fight with one another. I don’t know when Caleb is

going to make his move, or has he really let go of the past and only came to Bradfort City to make a

fortune?

Being reminded of how Robert was wary of Caleb, Heather felt like she still couldn’t let her guard down

yet. At the moment, no one could be trusted, including Matthias.

In the past, she assumed that she could trust Leon, who wasn’t involved in the family feud. After the

explosion, however, she had to face the fact that Leon’s family situation was even more complicated.

She really did not know who to trust now. It was also impossible for her to speak her mind to Myra and

tell her about her little secret. Everyone had their own secrets after all.

All of a sudden, Heather felt completely helpless. She had so many things bottled up inside that she

feared she would reach her breaking point someday. If she were to push her limits every day, she

would break soon. She couldn’t find a way to alleviate the psychological pressure she felt.

“What else is real in this world?” For a moment, she questioned the value of existence and the meaning

of life.
