However, Sasha was in a state of disarray at this moment. The car had really knocked her, so she shakily hobbled over to Myra. Apart from that, she even had an injury on her face.
Her beautiful image was gone—not only were her clothes wrinkled, her hair was disheveled and there was a panicked expression on her face.
As soon as she grabbed onto the window, she cried desperately in front of Myra. “Myra, I’m sorry. I’ve really learned my lessons this time around. I shouldn’t have provoked you at the hotel and sent your video to Gemma. I was too blinded by my own desires and forgot about Director Hart’s warning. I really learned my lessons and I beg you to ask Director Hart to take a pity on us! If this continues, the Hay Group is going to be destroyed!”
Sasha sobbed pathetically. Back when Tony warned me, I should have listened to him obediently. Otherwise, this would not happen—after spending so much effort to pull Wallace Enterprise over to our side, everything is ruined in an instant. Tony also attacked several other businesses of ours.
They could not rely on the Walton Family and the Chase Family would nor help them either. It took everything the Hay Group had to survive until now. She herself had even invested a few million into the company. If the Hart Group did not stop with their attacks, the Hay Group would meet their demise.
Sasha and the other family members of the Hay Group were already used to the luxurious and lavish lifestyle that they had been living. It was a huge shock for them to be suddenly degraded to a lifestyle of a normal blue collar worker, whom they had always looked down on. Needless to say, they would have to bear a huge debt that they could never repay for the rest of their lives.
“I will explain everything to the media and let them know what exactly had been going on with the video. It’s all Gemma’s and my fault. Myra, we have wronged you. I will explain all of this to them and I just want to beg for your forgiveness. Please ask Director Hart to stop attacking the Hay Group…”
Myra merely looked at Sasha with calmness all this while. When Leo was about to walk to them, she flashed him a look of caution before looking back at Sasha. “Tony has already warned you beforehand. Sasha, you can only blame your greed and selfishness that things have turned out the way they are today. If you don’t have the plans to accuse and blame me, the Hay Group would not have turned out in this way.”
“I know. I know.” Sasha nodded profusely as she could not wait to show Myra her genuine feelings. “I know that I’m wrong this time, but we have already received the punishment we deserve. Didn’t the video back then become the trigger for you and Director Hart to be a couple? Myra, I’m begging you to please help me and the Hay Group. As long as you plead to Tony, I’m sure he won’t attack the Hay Group anymore. Now that we have already received many blows, it will take a few years to just recover. Please, Myra, I beg you… The company is the result of my grandfather’s hard work throughout his entire life…”
Her eyes were swollen and red at this moment.
Even though their circle may have seemed lavish, everyone was in fact quite cold. Now that the Hay Group had reached this point, everyone including Sasha’s close friends avoided her as far as possible.
She was also at her wits end, so she had to abandon her pride and beg for Myra’s help.
However, Myra had a conflicted expression on her face.
Without a doubt, Sasha had done a lot of things that hurt her. In the beginning, she slandered Myra for plagiarism. Then, she sent the video to Sean to worsen the relationship between Myra and him. Apart from that, she also sent the video to Gemma, which had completely ruined Myra’s reputation. However, it was a little too much to ruin the Hay Group for all the things that Sasha had done since the Hay Group was not built by her alone.
Seeing that Myra was wavering, Sasha quickly added, “Myra, I promise to behave myself from now onward. If you need my help, I will never reject you! Apart from that, I will help you with Lyla—I won’t let her have a good time at the Chase Family!”
After hearing Sasha’s words, Myra replied calmly, “You don’t have to do anything about the matters between Lyla and me.”
“Sure, sure. Since you say so, I won’t do anything on my own accord.” Sasha stopped crying and continued to nod. At this moment, Myra’s orders were like ones from a king. After all, Sasha clearly knew the feelings Tony had for Myra. As long as Myra spoke up for her, Sasha believed that the problem with the Hay Group would be solved.
It was only at this moment that Sasha realized her own stupidity. It’s impossible that Tony would fall for Gemma, the scheming b*tch! Why did I trust that woman? It resulted in my family business suffering from such a destructive power!
“I will talk to Tony, but I can’t guarantee whether he will stop after that,” Myra said indifferently.
“I’m sure he will! Director Hart will definitely listen to you!” As soon as Sasha heard that Myra would help her out, she immediately cried with tears of joy. She finally heaved a sigh as she sank to the ground weakly. In the next moment, she rose to her full height and tightly grabbed the car window beside Myra. “Myra, you have to be careful of Gemma. She’s not a kind person. I heard that she used a lot of ruthless methods to chase away the women around Director Hart when they were in the United States last time.”
Upon hearing that, Myra frowned. She had also heard about some incidents related to Gemma. Even without hearing the complete story, she understood that Gemma was a ruthless woman after their interaction. “Got it.”
Then, Myra signaled for Leo to enter the car. As soon as he was behind the wheels, the car was almost driven away. Seeing that they were about to leave, Sasha hesitated whether she should continue speaking. After a moment of hesitation, she finally responded, “Back then, when we were in the hotel, I told you that Director Hart deliberately provided me with the means to obtain the video. Don’t believe that, Myra. I said it because I was jealous that you were with Director Hart. I wanted to instigate the relationship between both of you. D-Director Hart… He would never do something like this to you.”
Sasha clenched her fists that were at her sides with a conflicted feeling within her. She was clear that Tony deliberately allowed her to obtain the video, but at this moment, she wanted to wash her hands off everything, so she had to tell Myra that everything she said back then was a lie.
As soon as she finished with her sentence, Sasha felt as though she had been liberated.
She had many different experiences in her life—she had gone through most of the major events in her life. After witnessing the dirty transactions behind the scenes and how cold humanity was, she felt a deep sense of exhaustion.
In the past, she was jealous of everything Myra had whereas now, this feeling had completely disappeared.
Sasha could not afford to be jealous or envious of what others had—after all, it belonged to them. After such emotions had gathered, she became another person whom she was unfamiliar with and she lived in constant exhaustion.
Before the car drove away, Myra heard Sasha’s gentle voice that was brought by the wind. “Thank you, Myra… And I’m sorry for everything I’ve done…”
Conflicted emotions engulfed Myra in that moment.
If Sasha had not been competitive and proud, everything may not have turned out like this.
On the other hand, Leo was already used to the business world, where the strong would butcher the weak, so he did not pity her. Instead, he sighed quietly. “Miss Stark, you are too soft. If it were someone else, the Hay Group would have been sold off.”
“Everything that she has done to me has ultimately made my life better,” Myra explained calmly as she caressed her belly. “Apart from that, she has repented on her mistakes. I’m just going to tell Tony to stop his attack. Ultimately, whether or not the Hay Group can recover still depends on their own efforts.”
After hearing Sasha’s final words, Myra was sure that she had turned over a new leaf. Myra thought she merely did something that she should do, so she did not need to care about other implications.
