Standing Before Love (Myra and Sean)
Chapter 264

When Sean heard Gemma, his eyes immediately turned cold. Narrowing them, he glanced over to see the smug expression she had on her face as she was looking at Myra.

Myra was in a rather awful state after Gemma pulled her by the hair. Her hair was disheveled and her hairline was still red.

Frowning, Sean immediately walked up to Myra and, instead of criticizing her, asked with a concerned voice, "What happened? Are you hurt?"

Everyone there was stunned including Gemma and Cameron.

After a slight pause, Myra knitted her brows together and walked around him without saying anything.

Seeing the way she was treating him at the moment, Sean clenched his hands beside him.

He was only concerned for her, but she no longer cared.

Turning around, he looked at Gemma and asked, "What did you say? That Myra messed around with someone else while we were married?"

His attitude garnered a doubtful expression from her.

The attitude he had now was inconsistent with the rumors she heard about him, thus making her frown slightly.

According to the information she had, Sean spent each day partying in the two years he was married to Myra. He was always with a different woman. After his ex-girlfriend, Lyla, returned, he practically left Myra in a heartbeat. At one point, the two even had many arguments with each other. Why is he treating her so nicely now?

Lyla was another matter, but his attitude still made Gemma frown.

Studying him carefully, she tugged at the corner of her lips. "Director Chase, I believe you've seen the video Sasha showed you. The video shows Myra sneaking off to a room in Tony's hotel on the pretense that she was on a business trip, then coming out with her clothes in a mess. I think everyone should know the implications of her shameless behavior."

"What does it imply?" Sean asked impatiently right after she spoke.

Indeed, he had seen the video she was talking about. At the time, he even showed it to Myra and questioned her about it.

Listening to the way Gemma was talking about Myra now, however, he heard a voice telling him to protect Myra. Regardless of what happened back then, he could criticize her, but he couldn't let this be an excuse for Gemma to lash out at her.

All of a sudden, his gaze turned cold as he looked at Gemma.

Gemma did not think that he was that baseless. Seeing the unconcealed warmth in his eyes as he looked at Myra when he clearly had a cold look on his face, she scorned him, "Are you trying to shield Myra, Director Chase? Do you think this will erase the fact that she once cheated on you? Everyone knows the truth. While she was still married to you, she was already openly having an affair with Tony. Director Chase, don't tell me you want to help this woman now?"

"Do you have a problem with me helping her, Miss Walton?" he shot back without caring about what Gemma said.

Gemma became enraged. "Director Chase, you've seen for yourself the kind of woman Myra is! Why the h*ll would you help her? If it wasn't because of her, you wouldn't have been separated from the woman you loved for such a long time!"

"You're really funny, Miss Walton. I'm helping Myra only because what you said isn't true. You're falsely accusing her. I don't know why you believed in that strange video, Miss Walton, but it's obvious that your actions toward Myra today constitute harassment. If President Stark doesn't take action, then I will have to report to the police myself."

Sean was also looking at Cameron with a fairly cold gaze.

He had always known that Cameron did not treat Myra well. Even though they had a father-daughter relationship, theirs was not the same. At this moment, he knew Cameron's intentions. He was going to excuse himself to the lounge earlier which showed that he never wanted to help Myra.

Sean scowled at him.

In an instant, Cameron stiffened and an awkward look appeared on his face.

"You!" Meanwhile, Gemma's expression was filled with anger.

She had never imagined that Sean would help Myra. Isn't he head over heels for Lyla? He always gave Myra the cold shoulder because of all the mean things she used to do to Lyla. Why is he acting this way today?

"Director Chase, I don't think you're fully aware of the situation. That video is not just some strange video; it's a video your cousin, Sasha, gave me. At the time, as one of the competitors for the Sunny Bay Project, she also went to that hotel with Director Hart. It was at that hotel where she discovered the video. This video is foolproof."

"Oh. Well, there's one thing I must tell you and everyone else here. Two months ago, Sasha's company, Hay Group, was publicly rejected by the Hart Group for plagiarizing Myra's designs, meaning they won't be working with Hay Group anymore. I think Sasha wasn't able to let it go for some time, so she came up with a plan to frame Myra. I presume you've all heard of some of this."

"Sean Chase!" Gemma's face was red with anger. She clearly had not known about the shameful act that Sasha had done. After Sean exposed Hay Group without any consideration for them, it felt like a slap in the face to Gemma. Her expression changed immediately. She couldn't believe that he would help Myra and disregard his maternal family. "You're both divorced now, but you're still saying all these things that you don't mean on her behalf! Don't tell me she's secretly having an affair with you now that she's with Tony? Is that why you're speaking up for her?"

"Enough with your filthy nonsense, Miss Walton!" Myra suddenly spoke up after remaining silent this whole time. Her lips were pressed together tightly, and her expression did not look good. "You know that Tony and I are together now, but you're trying everything in your power to get between us. You chide me, but why don't you chide yourself too? I'm sure it didn't feel great having Tony drag you out of the Hart Residence last night."

Since Gemma did not show Myra any mercy, she did not have a reason to put up with that woman's yapping either.

"Did you already forget what you said to me last night, Miss Walton? You know that Tony and I are together now, but you still threatened me to leave him. You already know that he doesn't like you, but you still cling to him and pretend you're his fiancée. Does the Hart Family know that you're doing this? What makes you think that just because you like someone, that person has to reciprocate your feelings?" "What the h*ll are you talking about, Myra?" Gemma's face turned purple.

"Am I wrong? You came to the Hart Residence last night as a guest, but you got thrown out by Tony. Unless you instigated the situation, why would he do that to you?" Myra's expression was chilly. "It's all because of you, you wench. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have treated me that way!"

Boiling with rage, she walked over to teach Myra a lesson, but Sean blocked her path.

However, Myra did not accept his gesture and simply walked around him to stand in front of Gemma. "Is that so? You said it yourself. Tony treated you that way because of me. It also happened at the Hart Residence where all the elders were present. If you were his fiancée, would the elders of the Hart Family just watch you get bullied because of me?"

The color drained from Gemma's face.
