Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 187
Who?Ophite mulled over Sarah's features. He had not noticed before, but now that Yosef had mentioned it, her face did seem familiar...Right then, the elevator doors slid open. Ophite looked up, surprised to see they were on the first floor."Why are we on the first floor?" They were meant to return to the 19th and 20th floors.Yosef stepped out. "I need to grab something from the front desk."It sounded like a quick errand, so Ophite pressed the door open button, deciding to wait for him.Before long, Yosef came back with a little first aid kit in his hands."Did you get hurt?"He noticed Yosef press the button for the 17th floor and smiled. "Is Ms. Lowry hurt? Are you going to help her with a bandage?"Yosef gave him a quick look but said nothing.Ophite felt a sting in his heart. "But Ms. Lowry has Stanley with her now. She probably doesn't need your help.""Then you should go and get him to leave."Ophite was speechless.Why did it feel like he was helping a friend sn

Yosef grabbed her hand. Zara tried to pull away, but he quickly picked up a cotton ball with tweezers, dipped it in iodine, and pressed it onto her palm.Zara gasped.Yosef gave her a teasing look and kept cleaning the scrapes on her palm with the cotton ball. She had gotten them when she fell out of a tree.The scrapes were not too bad, but she had not wrapped them up. After washing her hands, the skin looked white and puffy.Zara wondered when he had even noticed them.Stanley had stayed so long and had not seen a thing.Yosef asked, "Don't you know how to put on a bandage?""They're just scratches. They'll be fine in a couple of days."Yosef grabbed the ointment, squeezed some onto the cut, and gently spread it with a cotton swab. "Sure, you can see if they get better after you die from lockjaw," he said with a hint of sarcasm.Zara just rolled her eyes. She would be a fool to expect sweet words from a sour face.Once he finished with one hand, Yosef reached for her other
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 189
Zara took a deep breath.Only two months had passed, not two years. She remembered everything clearly. He had wanted to use her as a pawn for his business deal. Was he now pretending that time could change the truth?Zara stopped her wandering thoughts, thoughts that Yosef kept pulling her into. She quietly packed up the first aid kit on the table.She picked up the humidifier Chelsea had given her, took it to her room, and plugged it in. A fine mist with a hint of orange scent filled the air, calming her.Yosef was ready to pay a lot to make her forgive Sarah. Any woman with him was protected.Except her. Even when she was with him, she felt used.Zara bit her lip and glanced at the clock. It was after eleven. She dialed her sister's number to check on their mom.Her sister usually answered at this hour, but tonight, the call was cut off.Zara's brows were furrowed. What was going on?...Meanwhile, in a ward at Starville Hospital where silence should have reigned, a heart m
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 190
A humidifier sprayed fine mist in the bedroom, filling the air with a sweet hint of orange.The woman on the bed was deep in sleep, snuggled in white blankets like a delicate dandelion.Shawn sat on the edge of her bed and gently lifted her blanket, not worried about waking her.He looked at her as if they were meant to be close.Zara, who always got chilly, was in her cozy cotton pajamas. Shawn checked her over to make sure she was not hurt and then he took her hand.She had a big bandage on her palm. Shawn softly touched the edge of the bandage with his thumb.After a moment, he put her hand back and tucked her in again.He whispered, "Zara."Shawn did not linger in Zara's room. After about ten minutes, he closed the door behind him and left Room 1702.He hit the button for the elevator down.The doors slid open, and there was Yosef, his eyes locking with his....The next day, Zara woke up when she felt like it.She stretched out, feeling light and comfy. She yawned a b

Yosef walked away and exited through the spinning door. Zara found herself stepping out right after him.She watched his back until a delivery guy called out, "Order with last four digits 2055?"Zara snapped out of it and answered, "Yeah, that's me."She grabbed her food and headed back to her room, her earlier cheerfulness completely gone.She could tell Yosef did not like Shawn, not one bit. However, she could not figure out why. Were they not just old high school friends? What was his beef with Shawn?Zara did not think she was important enough to be the cause of their problems.If she played any part in it, it was surely tiny. There had to be other stuff going on between them.Zara had ordered food from this same place before once. However, now that her mood was sour, it tasted pretty bland.After eating, she made her way to the base on North River Road to catch up with Stanley.Today marked their seventh day at work in Aquaville. They had nearly finished collecting all th

In Yosef and Charvi's conversation, there was a mention of 'the thing Mr. Slate said'. Did Connor suspect someone had been murdered?Putting together the clues, including her mention of 'digging a hole', Yosef must have realized the crime that was committed. That was why he reported it today, which led the police to her for a statement.Stanley looked troubled, his usually calm face tense. "You almost got into trouble last night? Why didn't you tell me?"Zara adjusted her scarf and bit her lip. "They didn't get to me. I ran as soon as I sensed what they were up to."Stanley's voice was heavy. "Are you sure you want to let Sarah get away with it?"If it was just a 'prank', maybe it was best to let it go.Even after the prank caused such a big mess, Zara wanted to drop it. Stanley, though, was not ready to let it go.Zara really did not want any more trouble. "I've already taken the peace-offering money. Let's just end it here," she said.Then, she asked, "Where's Apricot Village
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 193
Zara was momentarily stunned.Stanley scowled. "Melanie."Melanie put on an innocent face. "What's the big deal? It's totally normal to ask these kinds of questions in a game like this. It's all in good fun. If you don't believe me, just ask around."Zara stayed cool. "I guess I don't get the game, then. What's the dare option?"Melanie's smile was sly. "I dare you to kiss the guy to your right for ten seconds."The guy on Zara's right was the liaison from the base they had visited that day.He had overheard them planning to hit the bars. Being a local, he knew the best spots and had joined their group for the night.Here was the thing—Stanley was sitting to Zara's left.Even if the dare was to kiss someone, it should have been the person on the left, since everyone had already been teasing Stanley and Zara earlier.Melanie deliberately said the person on Zara's right, which was clearly intentional.Stanley's expression turned stern. "Have I really let you get away with too m

Yosef was in the upstairs area of a bar. He was not a fan of loud places.Even West Palace, which was a quieter spot owned by Wilder, was not his cup of tea—much less a place just for fun.He was here tonight because someone had asked to meet him at this bar. He only learned it was a bar upon arrival.He lounged in a booth with his legs crossed, ignoring the drink in front of him. When he felt thirsty, he simply picked an orange from the fruit plate.He peeled it into four sections and ate them one by one, his movements calm and graceful.Yosef was not in his usual shirt today but a black turtleneck and a dark brown suit jacket. He stood out in the noisy bar, looking cool and proud."Mr. Chase, there's no need for this chat. The demolition payout is already fixed, and it's the same for all the villages. I can't just give you more money on the side."The music boomed from below, but Yosef's face was expressionless. His voice was even. "Besides, this project involves three other c

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
