Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)

Chapter 293

Sean’s voice was filled with anger. Myra was initially mine! She was mine! Then, she was snatched by

the man on the other end of the line with dirty tricks! No, that man can’t possibly be sincere to her. He

must be scheming something!

His eyes were red. For the past few days, he had been searching for evidence day and night, but all he

found were basically his presumptions.

Suddenly, someone knocked on his office door.

He hung up the call and massaged his temple in exhaustion.

When the matter that he had been investigating slowly surfaced, Tony and Myra’s intimate relationship

was also gradually revealed to him.

Sean was baffled by the news. Myra was still deeply in love with him a few months ago, and in the blink

of an eye, she fell in love with another man. How was that possible?

He closed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Come in.”

The door to his office was pushed open and Lyla slowly walked in.

She seemed healthier than before; it was probably because she felt that the crisis was over now that

she had gotten rid of the baby in Elsie’s belly.

“Sean, is there anything I can help with?” Lyla paced toward the man behind the office desk.

Although they had a disagreement some time ago, she still forced herself to wear a slight smile. After

all, Sean was the man she had decided to spend the rest of her life with and her feelings for him were

genuine as well. As she was pregnant, she wore a soft cotton dress and a pair of flat shoes, which

made her look like she was emitting a soft maternal glow.

However, Sean was unable to notice it at that moment.

When he heard Lyla’s voice, his expression instantly fell. He grabbed the stack of documents in front of

him and he suddenly tossed them at her when she approached him.

The documents landed on her before it scattered all over the floor.

She was stunned as it was totally out of her expectation that Sean would throw the documents at her

as soon as she arrived. He raised his head and looked with cold eyes. “Lyla, let me ask you this—why

did you suddenly decide to return to Bradfort City?”

Lyla did not expect him to suddenly ask her that. His rude action had made her pale, but she still forced

herself to ask in return, “Sean, what’s wrong?”

“I’m asking you—why did you suddenly decide to return to Bradfort City some time ago?!” Sean

repeated his question, but in a harsher tone.

Lyla furrowed her brows while she lowered her head to look at the documents scattered on the floor.

However, the moment her gaze rested on the documents, her pupils contracted at once. The papers

had overlapped one another—on the top one was a black and white photo printed on it. It was taken in

a car park and a woman was seen standing next to an Aston Martin while handing a stack of

documents to the person inside the vehicle.

Her heart had suddenly raced when she saw the picture.

It was without a doubt that she was extremely familiar with the photo since the woman was none other

than herself!

Why is this photo in Sean’s hands? He suddenly asked me to come over and he threw the stack of

documents at me before he questioned me in this tone… Her face instantly drained of color.

“What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?” The tiny hope that Sean had been holding on immediately

vanished. His fists were tightly clenched with vague, green veins protruding on the back of his hands.

Before Lyla arrived, he was able to hold to the tiny expectation that he could be wrong about all these.

However, her expression as well as her conversation with his mother that day, which suddenly crossed

his mind now, made him feel like he had been thrown into an ice cellar—he was frozen to his bones.

“Is that so difficult for you to answer?” He suddenly curled up his thin lips, but his eyes were cold. “It is

fine if you can’t answer me. How about I tell you the answer instead?”

Sean suddenly rose to his full height, striding toward the stunned woman and stepping on the photo.

Then, he bent over and picked up the photo before throwing it hard at Lyla’s face. “It was Tony who

asked you to come back! You even played the piano during the Hart Family’s banquet. Am I right?”

At that moment, he seemed calm—so calm that it seemed like nothing had happened. However, within

his eyes was a complete darkness with unfathomable emotions.

Lyla suddenly felt flustered.

“Sean, what are you saying… Why did I return at that time? It was because I couldn’t stop thinking

about you. Although I knew that you were married to Myra, I knew that you weren’t close with her as

well. I came back to find you, so that we can start all over again…” Her hands tightly formed fists by her

sides and there was a hint of aggrievement in her voice. “Why are you suddenly behaving so strangely

today…”

It appears that this man before me must have found out something. Is it the Chase Group’s Hilliville

project? Does he know that it was me? Her hands started to slightly tremble, but she told herself to stay

calm. I’m now his wife and I’m pregnant with his child. Even if he really finds out anything, he won’t

abandon me and the child for this matter.

“Sean…” Lyla gradually calmed down and looked at Sean while quietly asking, “Did Myra tell you

anything?” Only Myra would investigate that matter; nobody else would care about it. “Have you NôvelDrama.Org content.

forgotten what she did to me? If it was her who told you anything, how could you still believe her? Sean

—”

“Shut up!”

Looking at the kind and beautiful woman before him, the conversation between her and his mother,

which he eavesdropped on the other day, surfaced in his mind. This woman can’t be trusted at all and

she is still trying to lie her way out of this until now!

“Lyla, you were one who leaked the confidential intel of the Chase Group’s Hilliville project, right?!” He

grabbed the edge of the table with force and his expression was thunderous. “You colluded with Tony

to acquire the Chase Group’s Hilliville project! You had a deal with him and sold the Hilliville project to

him! On one minute, you said that it was a client referred by the Walton Family, but you claimed that it

was a referral from the Hart Family the next minute! Let me ask you another question. When we were

at the café, you had many photos proving that Myra was cheating on me. Tell me—where did you get

those photos from?”

The truth of many of the incidents would reveal themselves as long as Sean gave it some thought and

the time when he was completely disappointed with Myra was one of them. At that time, he saw the

photos that Lyla gave him, which were evidence that Myra had cheated on him. In the photos, Myra

seemed intimate with another man. He was unable to see the face of that man in the photos back then,

but he now knew that the man was Tony. At that time, Lyla, who had just returned to Bradfort City,

would have been unfamiliar with everything in the city, so it was quite possible that the photos were all

given to her by Tony!

“Sean, listen to me—” Lyla’s heart quickened. Now, she realized that Sean had been recently

investigating her and the documents that he threw at her was probably the evidence of it. He knew that

I stole the confidential intel of Chase Group’s Hilliville project and sold the project to Hart Group as well

as received the photos from Tony… What else does he know?
