Chapter 96
Tony’s going to use nearly ten billion just to chase a girl! “That woman is asking for quite a bit! Let me
meet her personally. I’d like to see if she’s actually worth that ten billion!” Sebastian took his coat
hanging on the back of his chair and attempted to step out of the door, but his grandson stopped right
in front of him to block his way. The old man couldn’t stop himself from scolding Tony again. “You
b*stard! Why are you still standing here?! Hurry up and get rid of that woman! You’ll never be able to
afford a woman like her even if she gets married and becomes part of the Hart Family!”
“Whether or not I can afford her is my business,” Tony uttered in a calm tone. “I need the money that’s
in Switzerland. You just need to remember to cash it out in time, old man.” Tony gave the old man an
intense gaze.
“You… Ouch!” Sebastian clutched onto his chest and cried out in pain. He had held himself back ever
since Lisa told him not to lecture his grandchildren so frequently, but now, he felt guilty for being too
nice to this stubborn bull of a grandson who stood before him. Tony was very familiar with the old man’s
tactics; he simply pretended as if he was about to head out of the room. “It’s fine if you don’t want to
give me the money. I can go to Old Madam Hart; I’m sure her dowry…”
“Come back here, you b*stard! How dare you even think of touching your grandmother’s dowry! You
unfilial grandson!” Sebastian immediately straightened his body the moment he heard Tony’s idea. He
no longer looked like his chest was hurting.
Tony simply let out a faint smirk. However, he didn’t walk over to his grandfather; he simply headed out
of the study. “I don’t have to come back; I’ll just get Leo to come over and check the amount of money
on Sunday.” Tony was already making his way downstairs as he spoke. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Sebastian was fuming; he felt like he could tear all of his moustache out in anger right then. After some
contemplation, he finally gave Elliot a call. “Hey, you brat. I want you to answer me honestly—who is
the girl that Tony’s going after right now?! What kind of expensive woman is that?! It’s fine if he doesn’t
want to show me the woman; but how could he ask so much money from the family?!”
On the other end of the line, Elliot sounded rather uncertain as he spoke. “It’s not that we don’t want to
tell you about it, Old Master Hart; I just think you should ask Tony yourself. You know that I’m going to
be in huge trouble if I tell you about it…”
“You coward! Why are you so afraid of him?! At the very least, you should tell me the woman’s address.
I promise I won’t tell your brother anything! I’ll just go over to take a peek at her; I won’t do anything
else!” The old man insisted.
“I can’t do that either… I know that you’re going to do more than just take a peek! Just let me go, Old
Master Hart. You can ask Philip or Lucas—they might tell you about it!”
Sebastian gritted his teeth. He could tell that Elliot was preparing to end the call. “Elliot, you brat! If you
don’t want your grandmother to continue forcing you on dates, then you’d better tell me about it
honestly. Otherwise…” Right then, the old man suddenly recalled something that Old Madam Samson
had told him. She mentioned that Elliot was helping Tony to look for apartments… His gaze lit up for a
moment before he continued in a nonchalant tone on the phone. “Just tell me about that apartment you
found for Tony recently. Tell me where it is. I just want to go take a look at his apartment, eh?”
Elliot hesitated for a long while. “I just want to look at his apartment. What’s wrong about that?! Are you
trying to ask for trouble here? Okay. I’ll just call your grandmother and ask her,” Sebastian hissed.
“Hey, hey, hey. Don’t do that, Old Master Hart… It’s the Ocean Blue Residence on Heathrow Street. It’s
Unit 709 on the 7th floor in Block A. Don’t tell anyone that I told you about it, Old Master Hart!” Elliot
looked extremely helpless and glum right then. He quickly ended the call once he finished his words.
After Sebastian heard the address, he quickly noted it down on his rice paper before he lifted a brow.
“I’d really like to see what sort of extravagant person this woman is!” Then, the old man cheerily made
his way downstairs. On his way out, he stopped in his tracks and gestured for his great-grandchild—
Henry, who had been doing his homework—to come over. “Come here, Henry. There’s something I’d
like to ask you about.”
Henry tottered over hastily. Sebastian couldn’t help but feel a sense of frustration when he saw how old
his granddaughter’s child was now. Alas, none of my grandsons have given me a great-grandchild yet.
He contained his anger as he flashed Henry a wide smile. “Henry, didn’t you mention that your Uncle
Tony previously brought his girlfriend home?”
“That wasn’t his girlfriend. It was just a female friend of his.” He corrected the old man’s words with an
innocent look on his face.
“It’s the same.” Sebastian waved an arm dismissively. After all, my grandson doesn’t have female
friends! “What was that woman like?” he then asked.
“You mean Myra…” The young child beamed when he thought about Myra. “She’s a really good
person. I like her a lot.”
Huh. Look at that—she managed to fool a child just after a short meeting. Sebastian frowned in his
heart. That woman must be really manipulative and good with her words. It’s only giving me a bad
impression of her.
“Why are you asking me about this? Are you going to look for Myra?” Henry blinked. “Can you bring me
along when you do that, Old Master Hart?”
The old man simply waved Henry off when he saw the anticipating gaze in his great-grandchild’s eyes.
“Hurry up and go do your homework.”
“Okay.” Henry left dejectedly. When he saw the glum look on Henry’s face, Sebastian couldn’t help but
wonder. What sort of magic did that woman use to make both my grandson and my great-grandchild
fall under her charm?
The next day, Sean was prepared to leave for a business trip. He had exhausted Lyla the night before,
but Lyla eventually decided that she would pay his company a visit. She had been showing up at the
company frequently for the past few days, so she had become quite close with a few managers from
different departments.
As she entered the Chase Group, Lyla couldn’t help but feel impressed when she saw how organized
and well-managed everything was. I do have to give some credit to Myra. I can’t believe that she really
didn’t give up on Sean even when he was at his lowest—he even had to go around begging others for
help back then. Myra even took out all of her funds that time. But now, the Chase Group has firmly
established itself in Bradfort City; Sean is living a much better life than before. However, all of this is
going to be mine soon. Lyla lifted an eyebrow and looked around before lowering her sunglasses.
When the front desk saw her face, she was allowed into the building without having to provide any
further explanation.
Lyla knew that all of the workers in the building had no idea that their boss’s wife was actually Myra,
who had been working in their company all along. Lyla wasn’t troubled by her conscience while she
walked in and out of the building frequently—she did so because she wanted everyone to know that
she was the woman Sean actually liked!
When she got into the elevator, Lyla had a sudden urge to visit the design department. However, the
moment she got out of the elevator, she saw a middle-aged lady who was walking toward her. The lady
had pulled one of the workers over. “May I know if Miss Stark is here?” she asked. The lady was no
stranger to Lyla—in fact, Lyla was extremely familiar with her.
Eve was the one who had forced Lyla to stay away from Sean in the past, but in reality, Lyla did not
hold any huge grudges against the latter. After all, Lyla already intended to come clean with Sean even
if Eve hadn’t chased her off then. Regardless, Eve’s presence only made Lyla’s departure more official
than it would have been; it gave Lyla more of a reason to approach Sean now.
The worker who had been questioned was quick to give a response. “Miss Stark is rarely in the
company now. I heard that she handed her resignation letter over to the director a few days ago.”
“What?!” Eve raised her voice immediately. Eve realized that Leo’s words made a lot of sense during
their last conversation; she therefore left the country for a few days to leave more space for the
youngsters at home. I can’t believe that the first thing I hear after coming back is that Myra’s about to
quit her job! What happened during the past few days when I wasn’t around?!
