Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 205
"Professor Schmidt, you need to rush back, so you can go ahead. Ms. Lowry, you'll stay," said Eugene.Stanley slid his glasses back on, the silver edges catching the light. "What's the reason for this, Mr. Webb?""We still need to gather data at Mount Siran's base. Someone from your team has to come with me. Since you have to head back to Starville for the next steps, Ms. Lowry can stay, right? Is that so hard to understand?" The two men locked eyes across the conference table.They had not really talked much since they started working together. From the start, Stanley was sent back to Starville by Yosef because of a fire in the lab.This was actually their first face-to-face meeting.They had been fine, staying out of each other's way until now. With this disagreement, however, all the hidden tension suddenly came out in the open."If that's what you think, Mr. Webb, I'd say someone else who knows the project better should stay. Ms. Lowry is my secretary, and she has some offi

Zara pushed against Yosef's chest with both hands, trying to hold him back. "You know this is wrong."Yosef leaned on the table next to her, looking deep into her eyes. "You hesitate and second-guess, calling it being honorable. But really, you're just not getting anything done. "That's not being noble; that's just making excuses for not being able to do anything. Don't you get that? After you left Azure Cloud, did you decide to just live in a fairy tale?"She said without holding back, "Yeah, I only saw what normal guys were like after I left Azure Cloud. Before, I just couldn't see the full picture."Was she implying Yosef was weird?He gently held her chin, and Zara looked right back at him. "Professor Schmidt could have done the same as you did, but he chose to respect his partner and follow the rules."On the other hand, you resort to using photos to threaten others, which is just low."He shook her chin a bit. "I threatened you? When did that happen? What did I say?"Zar
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 207
Yosef paused for a moment, his dark eyes reflecting her image. He said nothing.Zara had an idea."You first asked me to come back when I got Schmidt Group a better deal and they offered me a job. Do you want to get me back because you're noticing that I'm escaping from your control?" She had been like a bird in a cage for him, and now that she could fly, he did not like it.He wanted her to stay close, where he could easily keep her under his control.To be totally honest, he just did not like seeing her succeed.Yosef held the back of her neck again.Zara felt like she was being treated like a kitten or a puppy being carried by the scruff of its neck. It was demeaning. She wanted to pull away, but he would not let her."Don't flatter yourself. You can travel the world or climb the highest mountain, but you'll never be above me. I can handle you with ease, wherever you are," Yosef said with a chill in his voice. "Did you forget what I told you that night?"What did he say
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 208
Zara paused, taken aback.Zara had only spotted Macy before, missing the young woman with a baby bump standing next to her.Taking another look at the photos, she saw the woman's half-hidden face behind big sunglasses. That made it impossible to see her clearly. Her pregnant belly was obvious, looking like she was six or seven months along.Cecil sent another voice message. "I was too slow with the camera. They were arm-in-arm, super close... Maybe that's Yosef's secret girlfriend and their kid?"Zara tried hard but could not recognize the woman.She did remember bumping into Macy in the baby formula aisle at the mall once, and another time outside the ultrasound room at the hospital.Macy had excuses for being there, but now, Zara was not so sure they were true.She had thought Macy was the one expecting, but it was this mystery woman.Who could she be?Someone Macy really cared about, that was for sure.Was the child in the woman's belly Yosef's child, or maybe Ethan's?Th

Ophite thought that if Stanley had not been a professor—hence his gentlemanly demeanor—and Ophite's own quick reflexes in pulling out a handkerchief to cover the box before passing it back to Stanley, they might have ended up in a scuffle right there at the hotel entrance.In the car, Ophite massaged his nose bridge. "Why did you have to provoke him?""Me, provoke?" Yosef played with his sapphire cufflinks, clearly pleased with himself."Didn't you? Even though you know she's his girlfriend, you still made him deliver it to Ms. Lowry..." Ophite could not even say the words. Why was Yosef so mean?He wondered aloud, "Do you really hate her?"There were armrests in the back seat of the business car. Yosef rested his elbow on the one next to him, his face flickering in the passing streetlights."Hate who?""Ms. Lowry."Yosef frowned, puzzled.Ophite explained, "Look, Stanley is her boyfriend. Even if he was just a friend or someone she liked a little, what you did would make Ms.

Zara looked up, her face calm. "You've got the wrong person, Mr. Chase. I'm not Jane.""Oh, my mistake," Winston said, pretending to be surprised. He then gave a thumbs-up. "Ms. Lowry isn't Jane. She's a good citizen who's been helping the police. Thanks to you, my bar's been shut down for a while now."Zara did not let it faze her.Winston could not scare her, so he just sneered and turned to Yosef. "Since you're here, Mr. Webb, I'll show you around. I know this place best."Yosef nodded. "Sure."Winston noticed Yosef was not surprised or cautious. He felt overlooked again.After a couple of setbacks, Winston snapped at the dogs, "Get lost, you nuisances! You're scaring our guests."The dogs, ready to jump at first, now hung their heads and barked softly. They backed off with their tails between their legs. They did not leave, though, and kept circling around.Winston took them on a tour of the village, pointing out different spots.Zara and Stanley were walking side-by-side

Why was he here?!Portly, one of Winston's guys and a runaway, was not with Winston just a moment ago. Now, he was rushing at them with a knife! The knife's point was so close, and Zara's first thought was to shove Yosef out of the way before backing away herself. Yosef seemed to have guessed what she was planning. He grabbed her hand and yanked her behind him. Then, he tried to kick the knife out of Portly's hand. They were too close, and it all happened too fast. The kick was not done at the right angle, and the knife only moved a tiny bit. Portly went crazy, slashing his knife all over the place! In a split second, Zara saw the knife plunging into Yosef's side! Her eyes widened in shock as Portly pulled the knife out. He was not done yet. Zara acted fast. She swung her bag with its metal decorations straight at Portly's face!The hit made Portly grab his face, slowing him down just enough for Yosef to kick him away and for the bodyguards to jump in.Portly could not get to
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 212
Zara's eyes went straight to the gash on Yosef's belly.It was a mess with all the blood.He was pale from losing so much blood, which made his dark brows and eyes stand out starkly.Zara spoke up, "Ms. Schmidt is really hurt. It makes sense that Professor Schmidt went to her first."Yosef's eyes scanned her face, his voice icy. "Always defending him, aren't you?"The doctor came over with a needle full of numbing medicine. "Let's not talk now. It's time to stitch you up."Zara bit her lip and nodded, holding her breath.The doctor was worried about Yosef. "He's still bleeding. We might have internal damage here. Get the OR ready."The doctors knew who Yosef was and were extra careful. "Mr. Webb, you need surgery right now."Charvi, who was right by Yosef's side, was agitated and scared. "Please, doctor. You have to make Mr. Webb better!"Yosef lifted his hand, telling them to be quiet. The nurses were about to wheel him to surgery, and he was ready.Once Zara got her shot,

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
