Nothing Matters, except YOU & Me

When Myra and Henry raised their heads, they saw a slender woman standing at the other end of the fountain, which was not far from them. Even though the woman was already in her late thirties, she looked like she was barely 30 years old. Although she was elegant, there was a hint of worry and sorrow on her face that Myra detected at that moment.

On the other hand, after Tony entered the mansion, a maid took his coat from him and placed a pair of indoor slippers in front of him.

“Young Master Tony, Old Master Hart has been waiting for you in the study for a while.”

With that, she smartly retreated to the kitchen.

As soon as he knocked on the door to enter, a voice commanded loudly from the room, “Wait at the door!”

Even though it was a rather old voice, it was still full of strength. It was obvious from his tone that the man in the room was not in a good mood.

Tony arched his eyebrows as he closed the door of the study and obediently obeyed the order—he stood straight on the spot without taking another step.

After Sebastian finished his writing, he realized that it was indeed his grandson, the one who had caused a lot of problems, standing obediently by the door. Because of the news that his eldest grandchild, Serena, had brought, his foul mood which lasted for half the day took a slightly better turn. After eyeing the door sideways, Sebastian said in annoyance, “Enter.”

Tony walked into the room indifferently.

Sebastian dried the calligraphy that he wrote earlier and placed a paperweight on the table. He was not in the mood to argue with his youngest grandson, so he cut to the chase. “Do you know the Young Lady from the Hay Family?”

Tony frowned slightly before asking nonchalantly, “Which Hay Family?”

Seeing that he deliberately asked that question, Sebastian glared at him. “Which other Hay Family exists”

Tony's eyes narrowed as he met Sebastian's gaze with a half-smirk on his face. “Bradfort City is rather big, so I bet there are many families with the last name of "Hay". There are also thousands of people with this last name as well. How would I know which Hay Family you are referring to?” "You... Rascal!” Sebastian was furious by his reply. Judging from his attitude, I'm sure he's deliberately defying me! If I don't have an important matter to discuss with him, I would love to throw this inkstone at him! “Which Hay Family? Of course, the one who secured the Sunny Bay Project from the Hart Group! Do you know this Hay Family?”

After he pretended to think about it, Tony looked as though he had a realization. “Oh, you mean the Hay Group? Well, I do know them, but I didn’t know that they have already obtained the Sunny Bay Project.”

Seeing Tony's stubborn response, Sebastian angrily gritted his teeth. The old man from Hay Group just called to tell me that we are going to collaborate soon. He even thanked my grandson for taking care of his granddaughter and sent good wishes for us to take care of each other. However... My grandson would take care of his granddaughter? When has Tony become such a kind person? After he hung up on the call, he immediately called Mr. Logan—the person in charge of the Project Department of Hart Group.

When Mr. Logan received the call from Sebastian, he did not dare to reveal much. Instead, he merely told him the objective facts—the Hay Group and the Chase Group had competed to work on the Sunny Bay Project. There was a designer from the Chase Group who was involved in a plagiarism case.

After thinking about it, Sebastian immediately realized that Tony was behaving in an odd

manner. Why would he be personally involved in such a small project? The Chase Group is involved in plagiarism? Old Master Hay calling me to tell me the news of our collaboration? Isn't it obvious that Tony is doing all of this for the Young Lady of the Hay Family?

Since Serena was about to get divorced, he had not been in a good mood. Hence, that piece of news finally cheered him up, albeit slightly. He did not even tell his wife before he confirmed the authenticity of the news. As a result, he quickly summoned Tony over to confirm it with him. However, his face darkened when he saw such an attitude from Tony.

"What do you mean? Tony, you are no longer young. Do you still think you can play hard to get— like those young ladies?”

What if she’s scared away by him? I've looked it up—even though the Hart Family can't be compared to our family, this young lady is honest, pretty, and kind. She also earned good grades back in school. Even though other people have copied her work, she did not report to the police, but she generously forgave them. The Hart Family has never expected our descendents to look for wealthy young ladies. As long as they are kind, that's the most important.

“Me? Hard to get?” When Tony heard Sebastian mention Sasha's name, he vaguely knew what he meant. At that moment, his eyes narrowed dangerously. “Grandpa, could you be thinking that I like her?”

Sebastian snorted coldly. “You enthusiastically took over this project for the Young Lady of the Hay Family, didn’t you? You don't have to pretend otherwise in front of me!”

As if he was satisfied that he said those words aloud, he took a few sips from a cup of tea next to him. Immediately, his throat felt much more comfortable. After that, he looked sideways at his youngest grandson, who was tall and well-built. “Tell me, how would you like your wedding? Have you decided on a date? If not, tell your grandma and let her help you. It's about time for our family to be in a celebratory mood.”

Tony merely looked at Sebastian in amusement. He took a few steps forward and knocked on the table in front of him with a mocking look. “Who told you that I took over this project for someone from the Hay Family?”

Sebastian frowned as he pursed his lips. “Isn't that the case? You took over because you like that young lady, don't you? Don't tell me that you are interested in this project! I don't believe it!"

“It's true that I'm not interested in this project.” Tony arched his eyebrows and snorted disdainfully. His eyes flickered when he saw the words “Hay’ written on the piece of paper in calligraphy. “It's just that the Young Lady of the Hay Family is not good enough for me!”

"You!"

Sebastian's chest heaved up and down because of his anger.

He carefully appraised Tony's expression. At that moment, Tony looked indifferent and stoic—he also did not look like he was joking at all.

Unwilling to throw in the towel, Sebastian asked, “You aren't interested in her? Really? Why did you take extra care of the Hay Family then?”

Tony let out a cold chuckle. “I never knew that I've been taking care of them.”

“Then, why did the Hay Family say that...” Sebastian suddenly slammed his fist on the table. “That old jerk!"

After thinking about it, the reason why the Hay Family had given such an ambiguous story became clear to him... But...

“That Young Lady from the Hay Family seems decent. You are also not young anymore. Now that both of you are in touch with each other for these few days, why don't you—"

“In your dreams!” Tony suddenly interrupted and he turned to leave.

Since he already knew why he was called back today, he had no plans to stay any longer. Sebastian's face alternated between shades of green and white as he yelled, “This scoundrel!” His mood that was finally lifted, even by a bit, sank again.

The woman quickly walked to Henry and appraised him from head to toe. “Why did you suddenly run outside? Do you know Mommy and Great-grandma are worried about you?”

Upon seeing his red eyes, she seemed even more exhausted. “Henry, I-I'm sorry..."

"Mommy..." After Henry calmed down, he also felt upset when he saw his mother being sad. However, it was almost impossible to ask him to suddenly accept the news of his parents’ divorce. He merely grabbed the hem of her clothes tightly with his little fingers.
