Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)
Chapter 209

Rachel tried to calm Cameron down while winking at her daughter.

When Kris received her mother's hint, she bit on her lips while her eyes turned red, as if she was forcing her tears back.

"Dad, what I did today was truly reckless, but it was Thomas who begged me to do it at first. He said that he has admired Myra for a long time, so he hoped that I could help him get closer to her. Also, I have always been afraid of her snatching the shares of the Stark Group from your hands through Tony's support. After all, we all clearly know her ambitions. With that in mind, I did all of this for you, Dad..."

"For me?" Cameron's face grew colder as his eyes were filled with disdain. "You think I don't know what you are actually thinking of? Kris, I'm happy that you don't want your sister to get the shares of the Stark Group, but don't forget that she is still my daughter-no matter how much you hate her. She is your own sister! How could you do something like this to hurt her? If you are able to plot against her today, who is to say that you won't plot against your little brother or even me in the future?!"

At that moment, Cameron's expression had become gloomy.

Upon hearing his words, Kris was immediately rendered speechless as Rachel's expression changed drastically.

Cameron was a suspicious person by nature and had a weak relationship with the family, which was why Kris and Rachel were able to suppress Myra for many years.

As soon as Rachel heard him talking about her daughter, she whimpered, "Cameron, you've misunderstood Kris. She did all of this for you and her little brother... We all know that Myra came back this time to take the Stark Group away from us. I'm afraid that if Kris doesn't do anything, Myra will succeed in taking the company away from us step by step. Even if she is unable to do so, what about Director Hart? We can't be sure that he won't help her acquire the Stark Group after he falls deeply in love with her. Isn't that 5% share of the company a strong evidence that-"

The moment she mentioned the 5% company share, Cameron immediately gave Kris another slap on her right cheek. Suddenly, she couldn't help but burst into tears in pain.

"Dad, think about it. Tony and the others were obviously there at the Zion Club for a while, but they waited for Thomas to lay his hands on Myra before stopping him. Isn't it obvious that they are turning my plan against me so that they could benefit from the Stark Group?! Maybe Myra knew about my plan all along, so she did all this on purpose to set us up, Dad..."

Kris thought that her plan today was flawless, but she did not expect Tony and the others to replace out about it in advance. I can't believe that they were in the Zion Club too! I was only one step away from destroying Myra! Just one step!

She bit on her lips so hard that it almost drew blood.

Even after listening to her words, Cameron's mood did not improve, but his anger had subsided by a bit. His eyes were still gloomy as they glared at her. "Kris, please stop acting smart with all your little tricks. If you don't give them the chance to take our shares away, it doesn't matter how powerful Tony is! The Stark Group is a family corporation, so most of the shares are in my hands. As long as I don't sell my shares, no one can replace my position as president!"

Rachel nodded her head in a hurry. "You are right. So what if Myra has Tony backing her? I'm sure that they won't dare to rob us of our shares! Kris, you really are too reckless this time. Hurry up and apologize to your father!"

Even though Kris was unsatisfied in her heart, she knew that she had to silently endure all her father's words. Therefore, she gritted her teeth and gulped her blood before picking up a cup of tea next to her. Then, she respectfully handed it over to Cameron with her head down. "Dad, I was too reckless today. From now on, I will remember this lesson and listen to your every word..."

At that moment, she was in an embarrassing condition. After being slapped on the face twice by him, her pale face was now swollen as blood trickled down the corners of her lips.

Upon looking at Kris' current state, Rachel's eyes started to turn red while tears rolled down her face. After walking to her daughter's side, she pulled Kris' hand to touch her belly and whispered, "Baby, you must not learn from your sister. You need to be more steadfast and honest, like your father, okay? In the future, I need you to teach your sister on how to run a company properly. I know that you will be great..." As she said her words, she managed to draw Cameron's attention.

A powerful man like him in his fifties had regretted not having a boy to inherit his enterprise the most, but Rachel obviously fulfilled that wish of his. Thinking about the unborn child inside her, he calmed down a little.

Immediately, Rachel went to his front and pulled his hand to touch her belly. "Baby, we need to stop your father from getting angry; otherwise, it'll damage his health, making you, me and your sister worry..." Although his expression was still a little gloomy, he did not break free from her hands, which gave her a sense of relief. As she gazed at him, she comforted him with a smile. "Cameron, I'll ask Kris to apologize to Myra and invite her home so that we can all have a meal together. Myra is still a little girl after all, so she definitely misses home. By then, you can persuade her and explain to her the company's recent hardships. She is a good girl, so maybe she'll return the 5% share of the Stark Group."

"She'll return it?" Cameron's voice sounded a bit cynical, but he did not refute her proposal. After what happened today, our relationship with Myra has become even more tense, so why would she return that 5% of the Stark Group's shares? However, we can try to 'explain' the whole situation to her. Let's see if she'll believe us or not.

"Remember not to get into any trouble!" His voice grew colder again.

Beside him, Rachel immediately nodded her head while dragging Kris over. "She won't. After all, Myra is her sister and she really did cross the line today."

After that, Cameron let out a cold grunt before going upstairs to his study.

As soon as he disappeared into his study, Kris immediately shook off Rachel's hand and growled quietly, "Mom, why do I need to apologize to Myra? I would rather be killed!"

"Even if it kills you, I still need you to apologize to her! Kris, why are you always this impatient? This time, I need you to apologize and invite her to our house for a meal!" Rachel's expression changed from the gentle lady in front of Cameron to a much darker face.

"Mom!" Kris looked at her in disbelief.

However, Rachel squinted her eyes and interrupted her. "I know what you want to say, but Kris, how could I watch with my bare eyes as Myra takes 5% of the company's shares? Try your best to invite her home. I have my own plans for her."

As she remembered what Cameron said earlier about Myra being his daughter, her lips slowly revealed a sarcastic smile. His daughter? Let's see who he'll choose when her daughter threatens the existence of his son.

When Myra woke up, she realized that her entire body was engulfed in a fiery chest.

At that moment, Tony was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed, covering the coldness under his eyelids, which made him look even gentler than usual.

His straight nose and thin lips look dashing together with his elegant chin. This man is practically the work of God.

Last night, she was on the couch downstairs, but she was probably tired, so she fell asleep in the man's arms until now.

The horror Myra suffered last night had almost disappeared. Suddenly, she lifted her head and landed a kiss on the man's thin lips in front of her.

Tony's lips were usually cold, but at that moment, it was burning like fire.

In Myra's mind, she couldn't help but think of heart-racing images, causing her entire face to flush instantly. Currently, she was annoyed at herself for getting flustered over Tony's face!
