Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 583

On the road, Myra kept thinking about the name ‘Matt’. It sounded very familiar, but she couldn’t

remember where she had heard it before.

“Matt? Matthias Locke?” she mumbled to herself, as though she had thought of someone, but she felt

like she was spewing nonsense.

At the time, she did not think that going to the cemetery was a wrong decision. She preferred to hear

some things from the relevant person themselves and not someone else’s retelling of it, especially

since she couldn’t be certain whether that person was telling the truth or not.

The suburbs were a bit colder than the city center, especially at the cemetery, where the spooky

dampness in the air was a lot heavier. Getting out of the car, Myra made sure to put on a thick coat.

Tony was right in telling her to put on more layers earlier.

She first went to her mother’s grave, where that person would be meeting her. Even though Tony

exhorted to her that the driver must follow her, she still did not let the driver follow her to the grave.

Instead, she asked him to wait for her in the car and even asked him to keep an eye on his phone in

case she needed help later.

Because the person she was meeting later was mysterious, she needed to take safety measures

beforehand. The driver was tall and strong; he also had some fighting skills.

If something went wrong, she could call for the driver right away. To clear Myra’s suspicions, that

person had informed her that a woman would be meeting her here.

It was for this reason that Myra wanted to come and take a look. After all, women were slightly weaker.

Later on, the person even sent Myra the photo of the woman so Myra could immediately identify who

she was supposed to meet.

Looking at the thin woman in the photo, Myra hesitated over and over again, but still decided to come

over. When she told Tony that she wanted to go to the cemetery at the time, she was still debating over

whether to go or not. She most definitely wanted to visit her mother’s grave, so she made the decision

to go for that reason.

Indeed, she was reluctant to meet an unfamiliar woman, but that person went on to tell her a bunch of

things while keeping her on the phone. In the end, Myra decided to go meet the woman with all the

suspicions she had. She only heard half of the story over the phone; the latter parts were what she

wanted to know more.

When Myra saw the thin woman in the cemetery, she started to feel a slight regret. At first glance, she

couldn’t grow fond of the woman; she kept feeling an inexplicably chilling presence from the latter.

When the woman began to tell her the details, it made her astonished. By the end of it, Myra was

covering her ears and telling the woman to stop talking.

“That’s enough. I don’t want to hear it anymore. I’m going back now.” Myra shot the woman a glare.

She regretted coming to this meeting today.

Regardless of whether the woman was speaking the truth or not, she shouldn’t hear it from her. If it

were true, Myra wanted to hear it from Heather herself.

If it weren’t true, then Myra would regret having doubted her. After chasing the woman away, Myra

stood in front of her mother’s grave alone. For a while, she wasn’t able to put her mind at ease.

At this moment, her phone indicated that she was getting a call from Heather. In the middle of being

overwhelmed with emotions, she answered the call, and that was how one thing led to another.

“Mother, should I believe her?” Myra was looking at her mother’s picture on the gravestone. Her mother

had passed away at the prime of her life; she still looked beautiful in the picture.

concerned about Myra being at the cemetery and decided to call the driver straight away. He learned

from the driver that Myra hadn’t come out of the cemetery yet after having been in there for a long time.

Upon hearing that, he asked the driver to go in and look for her.

“Mrs. Hart, the cemetery is cold. You shouldn’t be here for too long.” The driver reminded her not to

stay in the cemetery any longer. Even he, a big man, felt chilly there. Not to mention, Myra was

pregnant.

“Okay.” Finally, she was willing to leave the cemetery.

…

Meanwhile, Tony was also taken aback by a situation that had unfolded in Hart Group. It was

unexpected that Caleb had dropped by on his own two feet, but it was even more shocking when Caleb

invited Tony out to talk over some business.

Tony didn’t know whether Caleb had hidden motives or whether it was a coincidence. The place Caleb

wanted to meet at happened to be right next to Tony’s house.

If Caleb had invited him over the phone, Tony probably wouldn’t have shown up. But since Caleb went

straight to Hart Group, Tony didn’t have a choice but to show up at this meeting.

Even though Tony knew a few past grudges among the three great families, on the surface, they were

all people in business, and interactions when doing business was nothing out of the ordinary.

Presently, even the Langston Family hadn’t gotten into a feud with the Moriarty Family yet, so how

could Tony start a fight with them first? Whether explicit or not, they still had to keep up appearances.

When Caleb came to pick Tony up in his own car, Tony did not turn his hospitality down either.

Inside the car, Tony spotted a woman. Huh. There’s actually a woman with Caleb. Going into the

backseat, he could only see the side profile and the back of the head of the woman in the passenger

seat, but not her entire face.

Throughout the whole drive, Tony kept guessing the woman’s real identity. Her side profile seemed to

remind him of someone, but he couldn’t remember who.

When they got out of the car, the woman did not follow them out. He intended on taking a look at the

woman’s face once he got out of the car, but he didn’t expect to see her with her head down.

He found it even more unexpected that the woman didn’t follow them out of the car. Hence, while

pointing at the woman inside the car, he asked Caleb with a puzzled look, “Isn’t she coming with us?”

Caleb let out a dubious smile. “It wouldn’t be appropriate for a woman to be present in a discussion

among men.”

Indeed, Caleb was a little severe with his belief in the patriarchy. The people who worked in his family

were mostly men, while the women were seemingly just accessories. Tony had a firm understanding of

the Moriarty Family.

This time, not only was Caleb’s appearance suspicious, even the way he talked during the meeting was

different from usual, though Tony and Caleb had only met once in Bradfort City.

At the time, they were around a bunch of businessmen. The both of them only spoke a few words to

each other, but Tony was still specially observant of Caleb that day.

Just like the rumors had claimed, Caleb was truly a reserved person who carried a chilling presence.

One could even smell the faint scent of blood when they got close to him.

Killing one person would make someone a murderer; killing ten, a mass murderer; and whoever killed

tens of thousands would be called a general.

Tony still tried to stay away from Caleb. Leisfeld authorities were currently going through an unrest, and

Caleb occupied an important position as the youngest general of Leisfeld.

At this point in time, he should be in Leisfeld, safeguarding military order and the nation’s safety.

Hence, why would he come to Bradfort City now as a businessman, as though nothing was happening?

The two had their discussion inside a private room, but it didn’t look harmonious at all. They were each

carrying an ulterior motive of their own.

“Director Hart, are you really not going to reconsider the collaboration?” Caleb wanted to work with Hart

Group, but Tony never gave a reply.

Since they were meeting on their own today, Tony couldn’t drag things out any further, so he simply

gave a rejection. Why would the Hart Group collaborate with the Moriarty Family? Back then, the

Moriarty Family went all out and nearly annihilated the entire Hart Group.

The Moriarty Family’s methods were extremely malicious, so Tony would naturally be more aware of

them. He was especially disgusted by the cut-throat competition in the business world, and he

despised bringing personal grudges into work even more. Not only the Langston Family was worried

that Caleb would destroy their century-old foundation over a personal grudge; the Hart Family was also

equally worried for the same reason. Even if Caleb had remarkable capabilities, he still couldn’t mess

with people in the government in Bradfort City, much less the people in the military.

Hence, Caleb could only attack Tony and Hart Group now. Presently, Hart Group was gradually

stepping out of Bradfort City under Tony’s lead and advancing into the international market, so this was

a critical point in time.

Tony would not allow anyone or anything to undermine Hart Group at this stage. Previously, Tony didn’t

even bat an eye on the series of challenges Locke Group had put up against Hart Group seriously.

Locke Group’s power had always been a mystery, but Tony knew when they first came to Bradfort City

that they couldn’t take down Hart Group even if they used up all their skills.

Therefore, at the time, Tony could still enjoy his honeymoon vacation with Myra overseas. The Moriarty

Family’s appearance this time, however, changed the nature of things in an instant.

Sebastian gave Tony a warning very early on. Hence, Tony already understood that when he ran Hart

Group, he would most likely encounter a formidable opponent like the Moriarty Family.

“Our products are in competition with each other to a large extent. For either of us, a collaboration

would not bring about greater value.” Tony gave a high-sounding reason. No matter how hard Caleb

tried to persuade him, he would never agree to a collaboration.

“It’s a shame. I’ve always wanted to collaborate with Hart Group. I guess there isn’t a chance for me

to,” Caleb said with a regretful tone.

“Our businesses will still continue to develop, so I’m sure there will be a chance to collaborate in the

future,” Tony said out of courtesy. At this time, he could only treat Caleb as someone he didn’t come to

an agreement with in business.

“We’re unable to reach a business collaboration for the time being, but I’m wondering if I can be friends

with you for now.” Caleb was being very initiative, which did not match up to the information written

about him.

It was impossible for Tony to refuse now, so he just agreed as he recalled the first time he met Caleb.

Caleb was clearly just sitting there, but he had a presence about him that made it impossible for others

to take their eyes off of him; even Tony was drawn toward him. He had the features of a nobility—every

move he made embodied the characteristics of a businessman, along with the overbearing nature of a

military general.

In the end, they did not reach an agreement, but Caleb still had a few drinks with Tony. The wine at this

place was incredibly fragrant. After they finished drinking, they didn’t smell of alcohol but the light

aroma of mature wine.

After a few drinks, Tony remembered that Myra was coming home soon. Since this place was close to

his house, he wanted to go home and wait for her return. She might be sad having just been to the

cemetery, so he wanted to keep her company during this time.

The whole situation was strung up together. At the time, the myriad of things Heather noticed was all

just on the surface. She didn’t know what had really taken place beneath all that.

To Heather, this day was a disaster; to Myra, it was a day that overturned everything; to Tony, it was an

inexplicable day. Nonetheless, they all hoped that this day would be over soon.
