Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 154
In Starville, everyone looked up to Yosef. Zara had gotten on his bad side, and now everyone treated her like his enemy. When she hit a rough patch, the news spread like wildfire even without Yosef giving out the order. People were always quick to gossip if it meant getting on his good side.Yosef was out at lunch with a client when the client mentioned something odd. He said one of his guys had been at the police station and spotted Zara and her friend there. They were caught up in some kind of argument.Yosef did not say much then, but after lunch, he headed straight over.He pulled out his phone and texted Wilder: [Find out what happened to Zara six months ago. The miscarriage.]...Cecil had made up her mind to lay low back home for a couple of months. She would wait out till after New Year's. Once things settled down, she would return to Starville to job hunt.It was Friday, and Cecil was all packed. Zara drove her to the train station and watched her pass through security

Zara looked down, pretending to be busy with her papers. She missed Yosef's slight frown as he pulled his hand back. "Please have a seat, Ms. Weber."Then, as if it were nothing, his eyes quickly glanced over Zara.Zara worked in science and tech. On this trip, her job was to keep track of data. She did not have much else to do with the other stuff.She did not need to say anything at the meeting, so she stayed quiet the whole time.The meeting went on for more than three hours, ending just before five.As Zara was getting her papers together to leave, Yosef's secretary, Charvi, came up to her. "Ms. Lowry, Mr. Webb wants you to hang back. He wishes to talk to you about the project." Zara asked, "Should I go to his office?""Mr. Webb's chatting with Mr. Moore right now. Just wait in the reception area, okay?"Zara nodded and headed to the reception area to wait.She sat there quietly for half an hour, but Yosef did not call her in.At first, Zara did not mind. It made sense t

Zara could not help but admire Beatrice. No matter how many times they clashed, she always acted like nothing had happened at their next meeting.It was probably a skill she needed for her to be able to stay at Yosef's side. "Ms. Lowry, what are you doing here?"Zara did not even look up and just kept eating.Beatrice was not sure what to make of Zara's behavior and asked again, "It's so quiet here after work hours. Ms. Lowry, why are you here so late?"Zara did not answer, and Beatrice bit her lip. "Are you working nearby? Which company?"She asked three times, trying to figure out Zara's purpose. She was worried that Zara was there to see Yosef at Azure Cloud.Finally, Zara finished her snack and looked up. "You're here for Yosef, right? Go on, then. You might still catch the action if you hurry.""What action?" Beatrice asked quickly.Zara just opened a bottle of water and drank, not saying another word.Beatrice's anxiety got the better of her. She clenched her skirt and

Zara gave him a quick look. Did Beatrice spill the beans to him?Stanley was puzzled. "What entertainment?"Zara kept her cool. "I'm not sure what you're talking about.""You're better off not knowing," Yosef said, setting the newspaper aside. "Why didn't you pick up when I called you after the meeting yesterday?"Zara pulled out her phone, pretending to be puzzled. "I didn't see any missed calls. What time did you call, Mr. Webb? I'll check."She was curious if he would admit to calling her at eight last night.Yosef just stared back at her.Ophite could not figure out what was going on, but he could tell things were a bit tense. He decided to switch topics and said loudly, "I brought everyone milkshakes! "You know that popular milkshake place? They just opened one at Starville Airport. I saw it on my way here and lined up to get a few."Sarah was wearing her favorite color again—a red dress that made her look elegant and stylish. She did not seem to mind the cold as she was

"Yesterday, you sent Ms. Benett to the office to look for me and Mr. Webb, and it almost turned into a big mess," Sarah told her.Zara turned away coolly and pulled down the window shade.Sarah kept smiling. "I'm surprised. After everything on the ship and with you gone from Azure Cloud, you still seem to be really possessive of Mr. Webb. I was just catching up with him, and you tried to mess it up."Mess it up?They had two hours to finish whatever they were doing!Zara wondered if Beatrice had only seen the aftermath or if she had actually walked in on something happening.She frowned as she imagined that scene.A flight attendant stopped by and asked politely, "Can I get you ladies anything to drink?""Just half a cup of lemon water, thanks," Zara said, feeling a little queasy.The flight attendant handed Zara her drink, and she sipped it down.Sarah's voice was a whisper, trying to bait her. "Ms. Lowry, you do care about my relationship with Mr. Webb, right... Is it jealo

Zara did not realize how chilly Aquaville was until they arrived. Her clothes weren't nearly warm enough, so she decided to pop over to the mall for a cozy down jacket.By chance, she bumped into Stanley in the lobby. They both had not packed for the cold, so after a bit of playful teasing, they decided to go jacket shopping together.Zara chose a soft beige jacket, and Stanley picked out the same one in black.Worried that Stanley might try to pay for her, Zara quickly paid for her jacket while he was busy browsing other items."Zara."She heard Stanley's voice behind her.Turning around, she found him draping a scarf around her neck. "This will keep you extra warm," he said.He adjusted the scarf around her. Zara, feeling her hair come loose, casually retied it without noticing how close they seemed. They were just like a couple in love.Right there in the mall, Yosef and Sarah caught this tender moment between them.Sarah and Yosef watched the couple for a bit before Sarah

"Who else were you expecting?" Yosef's gaze was icy. "Is it a problem for me to stand here and send a text, Ms. Lowry?"Something was not adding up.Ophite and his secretary were up on the 20th floor, while Yosef, his secretary, Charvi, and Sarah were on the 19th. She and Stanley were on the 17th floor.Why would Yosef come down to the 17th floor?Was he looking for Stanley himself?Surely, he was not here for her?Zara's eyes darted briefly, but that did not matter right now. She noticed they were standing too close, and she could smell the strong scent of alcohol on his breath.Had he been drinking after they returned from the mall?Zara spoke up firmly, "Mr. Webb, please let go of me."Yosef was staring at the scarf wrapped around her neck, the one Stanley had helped her with.His stare turned colder by the second as he remembered everything about her and Stanley lately.Then, his eyes dropped to the floor.Her shopping bag had tumbled down, spilling clothes everywhere.

Yosef hung up the call and dodged her as she tried to grab him.The room was completely dark because the curtains were closed. Zara missed and stumbled, tripping over a turned-up corner of the carpet.Zara had barely caught her balance when Yosef came up from behind and pushed her against the wall, pinning her there.He was toying with her as easily as if she were a little cat!Her hands were trapped behind her by Yosef, and she was so mad that she was breathing fast. She could not stop herself from yelling, "Yosef! Leave my room now! Or else—""Or else what?"Yosef sounded cold and mean, like the alcohol had made him numb. "Or else what? If I really do something, you think you'll stand up to me?"Zara felt a chill run through her."What did Stefan promise you? Let me guess… Stanley's helping the Schmidts get more say in the project, and in return, you get to join the Schmidts' company after it's all done, right? "And what if I can make the Schmidts lose the project? If they

Harper's kisses were always teasing, intentionally awakening her senses.Their tongues tangled, taking her breath away. When she felt like she could not breathe and instinctively grabbed at his shirt, Harper let go and kissed his way down to her chin, neck, and chest.She could not resist him.Shelby was torn. She did not have to hold back her body's needs and reactions, especially since they could not end their marriage just yet. He was her husband, after all, so why should she deny herself? She decided to make the most of it.Men could easily separate love from physical desire, and women could too. Shelby did not think that accepting Harper's touches meant she liked him. It was just about meeting a need.She would just get that over with.Shelby's fingers gripped the sheets tightly as Harper kissed her growing belly. She was six months along, and her belly was a little bigger. The thought of their child made his heart melt, and he kissed her several more times before suddenly s

Shelby made a sound of agreement, her back sore from sitting too long. She leaned back against Harper without much thought. She was busy with her work and not in the mood for conversation.Harper quickly got the gist of the case file. In short, it was a classic example of someone facing the consequences of their own actions.In the western part of Starville, there was a middle school and a vocational school. The two schools were just a street apart. Not all, but at least 80% of the vocational school students were troublemakers.One of those students, Yered, often rounded up his gang to shake down the middle school kids for their money.Since last year, the bullies had been targeting Steven Scott, a middle schooler. They would often demand money from him. Steven was shy and scared, so he never stood up to them and just handed over the cash.However, this time, as he was walking with a girl from his class, the bullies blocked their path again. They started to pick on the girl becaus

Samantha was really happy. She lifted her finger elegantly and said softly, "One step at a time. First, we'll make sure the child is gone. Then, we'll push them to divorce, and in the end, when she's weak from losing the baby, we'll take care of her." If Shelby died as Harper's wife, then Harper would get everything, and that would be bad. The two women agreed. While reclining on their bamboo chairs, they started dreaming about their perfect future—one with the Young family and the other with all the money. Since the foot masseuse could not hear or speak, they talked freely, not worried about anyone overhearing them. After the massage, they even went to eat together. The masseuse quietly cleaned up and tidied the room. Then, she headed straight for the lookout point. The resort was in the mountains, with lots of trees and streams. The lookout was up high, with a great view of all the little mountains. It was a beautiful spot that every guest at the hotel made sure to visit.

Adalee was doubtful. "Is it really that serious? Our husband doesn't like that dowdy wife or the eldest son. Even if he's started to favor Harper more because of his marriage to the Lambert family, that still won't affect our children.""Our husband used to leave the company matters to our sons, but now he's handing them over to Harper. Who knows what the future holds?" Samantha said with a hint of malice. "We can't take that risk. We can't let Harper get too much leverage. We can't let him and his child have too great a chance to win."Adalee could see Samantha was desperate and asked anxiously, "What are you thinking of doing? She's a lawyer. She knows the law, and she's the sole heir to the Lambert family."Samantha's eyes suddenly became slits. "That's right, she's the only one who will inherit the Lambert family's fortune. With that kind of money, there are loads of people who want to trick her or get their hands on it. "She's a lawyer, not a superhero. Just wait. I'll make

It was Shelby's first visit to the Youngs' place, and by chance, she walked in on his father's so-called second and third wives being snide to Harper. His dad had not lifted a finger to help. It seemed like this was not a one-off occurrence.Was that the way they always treated him?Harper, taken aback by her blunt question, nearly slammed on the brakes. What?"Me, being pushed around in the family? That's just because I can't be bothered..." Who would waste their time arguing with a bunch of women or stoop so low as to fight with their dad's other women? That would be so embarrassing, right?However, he stopped himself mid-sentence.Because he suddenly realized that by saying that, he was making it sound like he felt bad for being 'picked on' at home.Harper slowed the car down and glanced at Shelby. Her eyebrows were knitted together, and she looked really serious. She was definitely not happy.He almost smiled, but he pushed it back down. He swallowed hard and changed his voi

She faced Samantha, not bothering to argue about inheritance rights. "You still haven't answered my earlier question. What does 'stepmother' mean?"Caught off guard by the sudden shift back to the topic, Samantha was momentarily speechless.Shelby did not wait for her to catch up. She pulled out her phone and quickly tapped the screen."Ah, I see," Shelby remarked, glancing at her phone. "According to this, 'stepmother' used to refer to a concubine in ancient times. That's similar to a servant, isn't it? So, in modern terms, it's like a maid. "Got it now. Would you mind getting me some salad? Thanks."The nerve of her, treating Samantha like a common maid! She had never been so insulted. "You!"Shelby set her phone down and met her gaze. "Since you're so curious, I'll fill you in. In the Lambert family, my word is law. If you're ever curious about me again, just ask me directly. No need to rely on rumors."Samantha bit her lip and looked to Gilbert for support, but he just sat

It was Shelby.Pregnant and in flats, she stood firm with not a hint of weakness about her.Her steady gaze fell on the two women who fancied themselves important, leaving them at a loss for words.Harper paused for just a moment, then quickly got to his feet and hurried over. "Dear!"The Young family's house was bright and airy. Harper's eyes sparkled with the unexpected joy of seeing Shelby, who had said she would not come. His face lit up with a smile.Shelby watched him, amused. She thought he was like their excited Shiba Inu, dashing over at the sight of its owner.Harper reached her side, calling out again, "Dear."Shelby gave a small nod. "Yeah."The guests at the dining table snapped out of their surprise, and Wrenley beamed. "Shelby, you're here."Shelby greeted her parents-in-law, "Mom, Dad."Wrenley hurried over to help her, her actions showing just how much she cherished her daughter-in-law.That was Shelby's first visit to the Young family since her wedding. She

Harper waited until Wrenley had said enough, andthen he spoke up."I just don't get you. Your family's loaded, my grandparents are laidback, and Dad doesn't even like you. Why stick to him? Just divorce him, take half his stuff, go home, and hang out with some young models. "That'd be way better than sticking to a lost cause. You've got no ambition."If it were Shelby, she would have left by then if he had not trapped her by getting her pregnant and holding something over her head. Why couldn't his mom be more like his wife?"In your dreams!"Wrenley, with tears in her eyes, scoffed. "The Young family wasn't always so fancy. I married him, and he promised me the moon. 'A good wife helps me reach my dreams, and I'll pay her back in gold.' And then what? "Once the Young family made it big, he just kept bringing in more women and their kids. How can I accept that? I'll fight him to the end, even if it kills me!"Harper sighed. "You want to fight him, I don't. Shelby and her baby

"An old friend?" Zara questioned. "If an old friend wanted to see me, they should be visiting the cemetery, not here."Only a very few people knew she was still alive.Shawn asked, "Is it a man or a woman?""A young man. He also said something else...""What did he say?"The butler hesitated, then relayed, "He said... The miss tricked him, and now she owes him for it."Zara was speechless.The garden fell silent for a moment, with only the whisper of the summer wind rustling through the flowers.Seconds later, Shawn set aside his tablet and smiled slightly. "Really? That sounds fun. Get him to come in. I'd like to meet him too."Zara had thought it was just a joke, but when the butler led the visitor in, she stood up in astonishment.It was him!...In Parnova, the sun shone brightly.However, in Starville, the weather was turning.The sky had been clear when Harper left home in the morning. However, when he reached the Youngs' place at noon, he saw the sun hidden behind
