Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 113

Myra didn’t know whether to laugh or cry right then. She couldn’t seem to figure out the reason

Sebastian came over to visit—it made her nervous at the start, but she eventually calmed herself down.

Perhaps he misunderstood the situation and came over to thank me. I really didn’t leak any confidential

information to Hart Group, so Old Master Hart’s abrupt actions made me very helpless.

After she sent the old man off, she returned to her unit. Myra’s phone on the couch lit up with a new

notification, informing her about the new friend request on her Messenger app. She had no choice but

to tap on the ‘accept’ button, and her new friend quickly sent her a message.

‘I’ll consider you as having passed the test since you made pretty decent noodles.’ I’m considered to

have passed the test… What is he talking about? His text only left Myra more frustrated than ever. She

simply threw her phone aside before she headed into the shower.

When Eve woke up, she realized that Sean had already left to handle other matters at the company.

Lyla was the one who stayed around to take care of her instead. However, Eve seemed extremely

displeased to see Lyla beside her. “What are you doing here? We don’t welcome you here, Miss Fisher.

You should have some self-respect; you should walk out yourself before I chase you out.”

Lyla didn’t seem angered by Eve’s words. Instead, she put on a big smile. “Eve, we both have Sean’s

best interests at heart; whether it was two years ago or two years later. I left him two years ago and

gave Myra the opportunity to revive Chase Group’s business then. However, things are a lot different

now, Eve. Myra can no longer save the Chase Group now, but I can do it. Don’t you think you should

be a little more polite with me?”

“You can save the Chase Group?” Eve uttered in a sarcastic tone as she mocked Lyla’s words, which

sounded no different to her than if Lyla were to admit that she was the daughter of the wealthiest men

in Bradfort City. “How could you save the company when even Myra can’t do it? Don’t get too arrogant,

Miss Fisher; you’ll only disappoint yourself more in the end.”

“Whether or not I get disappointed is my own issue. Are you sure you don’t want me to help, Eve?” Lyla

swiftly sat herself down beside the other woman. She was naturally pretty; her looks served as an

access card when she mingled around with the upper classes of Bradfort City. “There’s something else

I want to tell you, Eve. Cameron is expecting a son in a few months’ time. Soon, that child is going to

fight to become the Stark Group’s inheritor.”

“What did you say?!” Eve exclaimed in a loud voice. After Richard had told her about the issues the

company was facing and the traumatic memories of the Hilliville project that troubled her, Eve felt like

she couldn’t handle another shock right then. Nonetheless, Lyla was clearly well-prepared to tell her all

about this matter. “I’m just saying that Myra might not inherit the Stark Group. After Cameron’s son is

born, there wouldn’t be enough time to save the Chase Group even if she does inherit the company,

right? Furthermore, do you think Myra will still be willing to sacrifice her all just to save the Chase

Group after all the hurt that she’s been through?”

Eve’s face fell immediately. “Stop making false assumptions! Myra isn’t that sort of heartless, fickle-

minded person!”

“Are you worried that she might be fickle-minded, or are you actually afraid that she wouldn’t be able to

inherit the Stark Group after her younger brother comes along? Aren’t you just worried that she

wouldn’t be capable of saving the Chase Group?” Lyla’s words gave Eve another blow. She then

shoved her phone into Eve’s hands. “You can read what this says if you don’t believe me.” Eve hastily

took the phone over. Her face turned ghastly pale after she went through all of the reports and articles

of Cameron announcing the good news about his son.

Lyla spoke in an icy voice beside her. “At this point, I’m sure you know that you can no longer depend

on Myra, Eve. The most you can get from her now is some financial support. However, you know how

much she invested in Chase Group in the past; she probably doesn’t have too much money right now.

If all you wanted was her money, what’s the difference in taking my money instead? I’ve been hustling This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

for the past two years; I’m sure I’ll be able to fork out more money than Myra can. Furthermore…” Lyla

fixed her gaze directly upon Eve. “I have my ways and connections. I have a way to sell the Chase

Group’s entire piece of land on Hilliville. Although you won’t get much of a profit, I can assure you that

you wouldn’t make a loss. The sales will be enough to fund the Chase Group’s capital once more. As

long as all the subsequent businesses run smoothly, all of the issues will be solved!”

There was a mixture of emotions surfacing on Eve’s face as she listened to Lyla’s words. Yeah, I know

that I can no longer depend on Myra this time. It’s no longer a given for her to inherit the Stark Group’s

business now that Cameron has a son, and the Chase Group can no longer wait for that to happen.

The price of our stocks has been falling for too long; I get worried just looking at it. I’d definitely be

willing to sacrifice some things if there’s a good opportunity to get us out of this situation. Lyla is the

one who came up with this opportunity, though… Will I be okay with that? Is this woman really here

because she truly likes and cares for my son? Can she really help the Chase Group?!

“How do you plan to do that?” Eve asked through gritted teeth. I know that I don’t like this woman, but I

don’t have the time to figure out why now—what matters most is that the Chase Group is saved!

“I have a big client who would like to buy all of the office buildings, commercial buildings and residential

lots in Hilliville. If you agree for Sean to get married to me, I’ll contact that client immediately!” Lyla

replied.

“But Sean hasn’t gotten a divorce with Myra yet…” Eve hesitated as she spoke.

“It’s not hard to get an instant divorce. I can now tell you with great certainty that if Sean were to go to

the Civil Affairs Bureau and call for Myra to head over now, she would be able to get the procedure

done immediately!” Lyla uttered flatly.

“Why should I believe you? If you’re just trying to lie and get yourself married to Sean…”

“The Chase Group is about to collapse. What do you have to be worried about, Eve? Do you think the

Chase Group has anything that I’m greedy for at this point?” Lyla sighed and shook her head to

exaggerate the frustration she felt. “I’ve always loved Sean. Why else do you think I’ve tried so many

ways just to come back and help him out? You may not believe me, Eve, but I think there isn’t anyone

else on Earth who loves Sean more than I do. I can sacrifice everything for him. I’m just here this time

because I want to help him through this tough period…” she muttered with a bitter look in her eyes.

Eve changed her mind when she saw the mixture of sadness and determination in Lyla’s face. For the

past two years, Eve had often seen her son suffering. He never once fancied Myra even though she

loved him. They were all young back then; how could he have developed so much hatred for Myra? He

was probably just rejecting the idea of being with her! He probably just enlarged the issue with their

relationship once he found an issue with it. He might’ve done this so that he could keep his heart for…

If Lyla has a way to save the Chase Group and if she and Sean are both deeply in love with one

another… That actually sounds like a perfect scenario, right? I still feel like there’s something odd

about this, but…

“All right. You have to stick to your words!” Eve took a deep breath. “I’ll choose to believe that you’re in

love with Sean for now, Lyla. I just hope that your days with him in the future… Ah… I just hope the

days get better…” I guess all the previous entanglements with Myra should come to an end. I do feel

guilty for it, but this guilt isn’t bigger than the threat of the Chase Group’s bankruptcy. Myra and Sean

simply aren’t fated for one another. Perhaps in her next life… Eve thought.
