Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

Chapter 45

As Sean brusquely threw the document over, he wore a stern expression on his face. “Where did you

summon the courage to do something like this?”

Myra heard Elsie’s snort of laughter from behind her. When she focused on the document, she realized

that it was the document she brought to the Hart Group after it was switched—and images of Tony

were drawn on it.

There were numerous drawings of him in various postures in a special, delicate style. Myra’s

expression immediately changed right after she saw that.

When she was at Hart Group earlier, she did not clearly look at the document due to her

embarrassment and fury. It was only now that she realized that the drawing style on the document was

similar to hers! “I didn’t draw this,” she retaliated without a second thought.

When she lifted her head, her heart sank as soon as she saw Sean’s mocking smirk. She had to give it

to Sasha, who was certainly skilled in framing her—she was even able to find a drawing that was

similar to hers. I bet Sean now assumes I drew this. Even if it proves that I didn’t plagiarize, it shows

that I drew the pictures of another man behind his back in such a lifelike manner.

“Get out—all of you!” he suddenly yelled in anger.

Xavier was smart—he was the first one to head out.

Elsie wanted to stay to watch the drama unfold, but after meeting Sean’s cold gaze, she had to leave

the office as well.

However, she predicted that even if Myra’s reputation had not been completely destroyed, she would

sustain a huge loss this time around. No matter what happened, she could no longer remain in Chase

Group. Hence, Elsie did not care about watching the drama.

Initially, Myra thought that the actions Sean had done two days ago had alleviated their strained

relationship, even though he did not directly mention that he wanted to do so. Now that she had been

unexpectedly framed, they had grown further apart again.

She smiled bitterly in her heart. How is it possible for us to mend our relationship? It’s… impossible!

There’s too much pain being inflicted. We are already separated by distrust, misunderstandings and

the pain that we have caused each other—just like today.

Myra picked up the document and placed it in front of Sean. By that point, she had already calmed

down. “I’m not the one who drew this and I’ve never committed plagiarism. It’s up to you to believe it or

not. If you want to fire me, I have nothing else to say.”

There was no recording and no other evidence to indicate that she was being framed. She had

completed the draft alone and she only chatted with Tilly during her occasional breaks, but that could

not prove anything as well.

Sean’s face was extremely dark as he recalled the words that Sasha told him earlier.

“Sean, I only heard that Myra chased the woman you love away and caused the death of your unborn

baby. I didn’t expect her to become worse. I can’t believe she actually copied the designs from Hay

Group! Well, actually, since we are relatives, I don’t mind. I don’t mind giving it to you if you just ask.

However, do you know what Myra has done since you have given her the cold shoulder for such a long

time?” Sasha seemed to hesitate at that moment, but she gritted her teeth and continued. “It might just

be rumors, but I heard that Myra met Mr. Logan and D-Director Hart for this project…”

He could no longer listen to the rest of her sentence.

Looking at the man’s picture in the design drawing, fury immediately rose within him. Just how much

effort has she put in to produce such a realistic drawing?

“What is this attitude of yours?” Sean stood up immediately and he leaned forward on the office table in

front of him to harshly pinch Myra’s chin. “Myra, you seem to be quite casual about leaving. You can

leave anytime you like, but you left a bunch of mess behind for us! If you didn’t draw that, who did?

Apart from that, about the plagiarism issue today, call Sasha immediately to apologize to her.” His face

turned even darker.

In an instant, tears immediately welled up in Myra’s eyes.

She never expected Sean to trust her. During the incident which involved Elsie the other time, he did

not listen to Myra’s explanation at all; in fact, he asked her to apologize instead. Even though Hart This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Group had already announced that they would look into it, he was anxious to accuse her.

“So, you would rather believe that I plagiarized it than to believe that it is my original drawing?” Myra

asked in a hoarse voice as she closed her eyes in front of him.

Pain shot from her chin again, but the intensity could not be compared to the hurt she felt.

Looking at her expression full of despair, he subconsciously released his grip on her chin.

He had recently seen her looking like that—she had the exact same expression when he accused her

last time.

“The higher-ups of Hart Group saw it, yet you still claim that you didn’t plagiarize. Show me the

evidence then!” After Sean loosened his grip on her chin, he looked colder.

Sasha was not the only person who reported it to him. Mr. Gardner, the deputy manager in charge of

Hart Group’s project, also called him about it.

When he recalled Mr. Gardner’s tone, his face turned more dour.

Myra tightly clenched her hands as she smiled bitterly. “I-I don’t have any evidence.”

With that, Sean looked at her sharply. She quietly met his gaze with a pair of clear eyes that were void

of any guilt or defensiveness.

However, Sean suddenly saw the drawing of Tony from the corner of his eyes again…

“Get lost!” he immediately shouted in fury.

Myra froze and she quickly shot a glance at Sean. After seeing his disgust toward her on his face, a

pang of pain shot through her, but she quickly left the office with her head lowered.

When he saw her figure disappear at the office door, a surge of annoyance bubbled within him, as if

something had blocked his heart and he was unable to remove it.

Xavier walked into the room and asked tentatively, “Director Chase, are you going to fire Myra?”

When he was standing outside, he clearly heard how angry Sean was. In the end, Sean even asked

Myra to get lost. I bet Myra can’t stay here anymore after she landed into such serious troubles.

Right after Xavier finished asking, Sean shot a cold glare. “Mr. Xavier, since when have you learned to

call your own shots?”

A shocked Xavier quickly bowed. “I take every instruction from you, Director Chase. I’ll do whatever

you ask me to.”

Sean merely snorted coldly. “Investigate this matter! I must get to the bottom of this!”

“Yes, sir.” Xavier only felt that he almost broke out in cold sweat.

After Myra left the Chase Headquarters, she suddenly felt lost and was unsure of where she was

heading to. Since I can’t show them any evidence about the Sunny Bay Project, I’m definitely going to

be the scapegoat. From now onward, I probably can’t even be involved in the design industry anymore.

The man who once promised me that he will take care of me forever has already hated me to the core.

I wonder when we will finally end things with each other. Over the years, I’ve always tried my best to do

a good job, but things just don’t seem to go my way at all.

Soon, the night lights were switched on. A silver grey Bentley Mulsanne was driving slowly behind her

some time ago. Seeing that she did not react to the car’s presence, the driver honked twice.

The piercing sound finally pulled Myra back to her senses.

She turned and saw Leo poking his head out of the window. “Miss Stark, are you heading home? We

are on our way there too. Get in the car; we’ll send you home.”

She could slightly identify another person sitting in the backseat of the car. Of course, she knew who

the person was without giving a second thought.

She still had not thanked Tony for everything that happened at the Hart Group earlier today. After

thinking about it, she took a deep breath and nodded before opening the vehicle’s back door.

“Thank you for the help today, Director Hart.”
