“If you call the police, naturally, someone will check the authenticity of your accusations! Since you said I was slandering you, then you won’t be afraid of people finding out the truth!” There was a joyful coldness in Gemma’s eyes.
Myra squeezed her fists into even tighter balls.
She wanted to say that what happened that day was just a misunderstanding. She had indeed entered Tony’s room that day, but only because Leo asked her to bring dinner up for Tony, which was why she entered Tony’s hotel room.
However, Tony did, in fact, have some intentions toward her at that time. How was she supposed to explain it? She couldn’t possibly say that Tony regarded her as the kind of woman who would sell her body for a project and had treated her accordingly, right?
Not to mention, she was framed for stealing trade secrets about the Chase Group’s Hilliville Project, so she had indeed stayed with Tony for one night.
The next day, she even explained herself to the employees of the Chase Group, but no one believed her.
People often only believed and made judgments based on what they saw. How could they possibly believe that she was taken to Tony’s office because she was severely injured and that nothing happened between them?
Suspicions and gossip would only make things worse.
Myra was just afraid that Tony would earn the reputation of pursuing married women.
Her identity at that time was already a sensitive topic, so who knew what the public would twist the story into? She dared not bet on Tony, and she didn’t want him to be discredited because of her.
Nevertheless, her silence was obviously boosting the power of Gemma’s statements.
The expressions of every person looking at her had changed.
“Miss Stark…” Tilly peered at Myra, feeling worried.
She knew about how Tony pursued Myra back then.
Ever since she knew that Myra’s husband was Sean—the director who was constantly involved in scandals—Tilly immediately stood with Tony.
It could be said that Tilly had done quite a lot to get Myra and Tony together. Among them, when Myra left the Chase Group after being wrongfully accused of stealing their Hilliville Project’s trade secrets, Tilly was the one who called Tony to inform him about what happened in the Chase Group.
She was also aware that the matter with the video was rather serious.
“Security, hurry up and get her out!” Tilly looked at the three security guards, who were standing frozen in place. Myra’s silence made her a little uneasy, so she decided that she would call Tony later to tell him about this.
The three security guards came to their senses and moved forward to pull Gemma’s arm, so the commotion grew.
“What’s going on?!”
Suddenly, a grave and stern voice rang out, bringing the stalemate to a halt.
The people gathering around them opened up a path for Cameron to walk out of the crowd.
While they were tugging on each other just now, Gemma’s hairdo was destroyed, so her hair was currently in disarray, making her look a little wretched.
An angry flame was burning in her eyes. Taking advantage of Cameron’s gradual approach, she broke free of the security guard’s grasp and tidied herself before walking forward. Along the way, she slammed hard into Myra’s shoulder. Then, she forced a smile and looked at Cameron. “You’re President Stark, right? I’m a member of the Walton Group’s board of directors, and my name is Gemma Walton. I believe you’ve heard of me before, President Stark.”
The Walton Family was once famous in Bradfort City, so the older generation of businessmen must have heard of them before.
Something flashed across Cameron’s eyes. As he looked around, his gaze swept over Myra, and the slightest hint of coldness crossed his features. However, when he looked at Gemma, there was a slight smile in his eyes. “I wonder what brought you to the Stark Group, Miss Walton?”
Evidently, he knew Gemma’s identity.
Gemma immediately stuck out her chin and glanced at the crowd as she let out a cold laugh. “Miss Kris invited me to the Stark Group to wait for her, but I took the wrong elevator just now and ended up on this floor. I accidentally ran into Miss Myra, and I couldn’t stand some of her shameless behaviors, so I just made a few remarks. Who knew that she would call for the security guards to kick me out!”
Although Gemma didn’t like the Stark Family, she still listened to her brother’s advice.
Since her brother asked her to find Kris to maintain a close relationship, she did as she was told.
In her opinion, for the Stark Family to be able to be friends with her was an honor for them.
When Cameron heard Gemma’s words, he slightly narrowed his eyes at Myra. “Myra, you’re in the wrong here. Miss Walton is a guest. If there are any misunderstandings, just talk it out. How can you so unreasonably try to kick someone out of Stark Tower? Is this how I taught you to treat guests?”
Cameron’s expression was serious, but Myra was not surprised to hear him say all these.
Some time ago, Cameron might have been dejected and listless because he didn’t have a son, but it never affected his opposition toward her.
“Was it accidental or deliberate? I’m afraid only Miss Walton herself knows. She’s the daughter of the Walton Family, so why wouldn’t she know who was situated on the top floor of Stark Tower? However, her luck today is rather good and impartial, as she appeared right after the meeting finished,” Myra said stonily.
Gemma sneered, “Myra, are you blaming me for deliberately telling everyone about your dirty deeds?! That’s right. I admit it. I just wanted to let everyone know what you did! I’m bold enough to take responsibility for what I’ve done. Are you?”
Seeing the slight change in Myra’s expression, Gemma looked at Cameron. “President Stark, I have a video here. I wonder if you’re interested? After watching it, you may rethink how to educate your shameless daughter!”
She said outrightly that Myra was shameless, but it was clear that Cameron had no intentions of protecting his daughter.
He immediately began to watch the video on the phone in Gemma’s hand.
After he was done watching, his expression changed instantly.
“Myra! You actually did something so disappointing in the past! You… Hey! How did I educate you! Did I tell you to betray your husband! Look at this. Look at what you’ve done!”
He stretched out his hand and was about to slap Myra, but halfway through, she grabbed his hand with a hardened expression.
“Myra, what are you doing! You’ve embarrassed the Stark Family! Yet, you still don’t know how to repent! Miss Walton has already come to the Stark Group to create trouble. Do you want the entire Stark Family to become a joke because of you? You’ve really put your mother to shame!”
At the mention of her mother, Myra suddenly pushed Cameron away—hard.
Cameron staggered a few steps back and nearly fell. The look on his face changed in an instant!
“Myra, I’m your father!”
“President Stark, you must’ve forgotten who threw me out of the Stark Family two years ago.” Myra fixed the man in front of her with a cold stare. “I only have a mother, but not a father!”
She could kind of guess that Gemma must have already planned all these with the Starks a while ago.
No wonder Gemma knew when to come up to make me feel completely helpless!
She shoved the people in front of her, wanting to get into the elevator and leave.
However, Gemma grabbed her wrist tightly. “Myra, are you just going to leave after doing all those things? President Stark is your father, yet that’s how you treat him! Are you even human? It’s no wonder you can do all those improper things! You shameless woman!”
“I may be shameless, but do you think you’re not?” Myra was being held by her wrist. Turning around, she stared at the woman in front of her, who was just pushing her luck. “Just because you can’t get Tony, you’re directing all your anger at me! Gemma, Tony doesn’t want you, so you should find your own reasons. For a despicable woman like you, who would dare to want you?!”
