Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 240
Sharon's surgery was over, and she was in the ICU. Zara raced to the floor where the intensive care unit was.Family members could not go into the ICU, so Cheryl and her husband, Troy, just sat on the chairs outside while waiting. When Zara saw them, she dashed over. "Cheryl!"Cheryl's face was streaked with tears. She grabbed Zara, shaking her. "Why didn't you pick up the phone?! Why didn't you pick up the phone?!"Zara stumbled back, her voice getting caught in her throat. "I didn't mean to... What's wrong with mom?"Cheryl's cries intensified, which made it hard for Zara to breathe. She was already tired from worrying about Trevor last night, and now, her head was pounding.Troy could not make his wife feel better, so he led Zara to the ward's door.Looking through the glass, Zara saw her mom with tubes all over and machines beeping by her bed. She wore an oxygen mask with a mist on it, showing she was still fighting for life.Zara could not believe it.How could this have h
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 241
No, that was not right.They had a donor lined up.Sharon should have had her operation with that donor heart three months ago, and by now, she would have been all better.Zara could not help but think that if Sharon had gotten that donor's help three months earlier, she would not be lying in the hospital's ICU, barely hanging on. Instead, she would be at home in their cozy little town, cooking up something delicious for her to eat.Zara took a deep breath, the chilly air stinging her lungs like a sharp, cold wind.She headed downstairs.She needed to find Yosef....In the hospital parking lot, right where Zara had stepped out of the car, she immediately noticed that Yosef's car was still there. Charvi was standing by the car door, holding an umbrella.They were obviously waiting for her.Zara felt like she could not escape this man. It seemed like she was bound to end up back with him.Images of Trevor being led away by the guards and of Sharon lying so still in the ICU ra

It was not long before Zara gave a small nod. "Okay."Yosef's gaze was fixed on her.A faint twitch crossed Zara's lips, and her voice came out a little raspy. "Do you have to act so surprised? Isn't this all part of your plan?"Yosef let out a soft snort. "Yes, it's all as I expected."Zara let out a breath and quickly asked, "When will your doctor be able to come? My mom can only last three more days at most.""I keep my promises," Yosef said, leaning his hand against his forehead. "Can your mom handle another surgery today?""What do you mean?""If she's up for it, we can do the surgery today."Zara paused, sensing something was not right. "You said the doctors would be coming from Amestia, didn't you?" she recalled, her tone reflecting her confusion.Yosef, annoyed by her drenched figure in the rain, moved to the car door. Grabbing her wrist, he pulled her into the car."You know as well as I do that I've planned for this. Is it so strange that I had them come earlier? Th

Yosef lazily opened his eyes.Harper let out a cold laugh. "She had two guards at the firm's door. The moment they saw me, they told me I couldn't come in! I'm her husband, and she's treating me like a criminal. All because I wouldn't sign her postnuptial agreement. "Is she for real? Would I have married her that fast if it wasn't for that big inheritance?"Yosef asked casually, "Does your family even need her money?"Harper chuckled. "It's not just a little money, you know."That was true.The Lambert family's parents died in a plane crash, and all their wealth ended up with Shelby. She was a lawyer, so anyone who thought they could take her money was dreaming. Only a husband could have a shot at her fortune.Harper leaned back on the couch and looked up at the ceiling, whispering, "She just doesn't get it. She looks smart, but in reality... Well, strong women just don't like to play by the rules."Yosef, you think so too, right?"Yosef raised an eyebrow. "Who said I did?"

Yosef looked down, his breath heavy with the smell of alcohol.Zara turned her head away. "You've been drinking?"He just grunted.Zara's brows were furrowed. It was late, and the hospital was quiet, so she whispered, "Why are you here?""I'm here for a reward.""What rewa—mhm!"She did not get to finish her sentence before Yosef's lips were on hers, kissing her.He swept into her world with a passion that took her by surprise. His kiss, heavy with the smell of alcohol, was filled with longing. He gently nibbled on her lip and teased her tongue in a relentless dance. Zara's hands were pinned behind her, her head pushed firmly against the wall. She had never experienced a kiss like this with him before. She felt breathless and was almost gasping for air. A moment later, Yosef eased up just enough to let her catch her breath. "Have you lost your mind? We're in a hospital!" Yosef brushed his fingers across her damp, rosy lips. His voice sounded rough, "It's the ICU at 10:30 p

Yosef descended the stairs, got into his car, and said, "Back to East Coast."The driver nodded and drove off.The driver caught Yosef's reflection in the rearview mirror. There was a small smile on his face that was not there before. His time with Zara upstairs must have gone well.The driver, feeling brave, asked, "Mr. Webb, will Ms. Lowry be coming back to work with you soon? I don't mean anything by it, but Ms. Lowry's the best at reporting work to you while in the car. It seems like you get so much more done with her around."Yosef did not usually talk about this stuff with the driver, but he was in such a good mood that he said, "Of course! I trained her myself."She was the perfect secretary, just the way he liked.Why would he let someone else have her?They were approaching East Coast, a three-story house. That was when the driver spotted someone at the gate.It was a woman.She was under the roof, but the wind was blowing the rain all over her. She was soaked and shi

Zara minimized the call window and clicked on the new message.It was a gossip magazine from Cecil, all about the juicy bits of the business world.The latest scoop? Yosef showed up at a business event with a lady friend, treating her like a queen. They were super cozy, and someone even snapped a photo of Yosef fixing her clothes.Yosef had always played Mr. Clean and Cool. This flashy move had gotten everyone whispering. Who was the mystery woman? His secretary? His girlfriend?Neither Yosef nor Azure Cloud Group were answering the questions.Zara and Cecil? They would recognize the woman anywhere.Cecil was fuming. "Beatrice, that lowlife, could wrap herself in the fanciest dress and still reek of trash! That gown is better off rotting than being worn by her!" Zara clicked out of the tab, unfazed.It looked like they had made up.All her scheming, all for nothing.Cecil had been spot on. Zara had thought she knew just how bad Yosef could be, and he had surprised her again.

"We're going to Mr. Rayleigh's private kitchen," Yosef said in a stern tone. Why had they not arrived yet?Zara quickly thought back. "You mean the Mr. Rayleigh who makes an awesome Beef Wellington, the one you mentioned?""Yep."Zara could not hold back. "Why are you taking this road to get to Mr. Rayleigh's shop? You like going in circles, don't you?"Yosef realized she was teasing him, and he was not pleased.Anyone would be grumpy after walking the wrong way on a muddy road for a while. Zara said, "You should've told me earlier that we were going to Mr. Rayleigh's shop. It isn't this way. I would've shown you the right path.""I'm going the wrong way?" Yosef stopped in his tracks.Duh.They headed back on the muddy path. Zara was so annoyed. She glanced down at her feet and 'accidentally' kicked a stone while stepping over a puddle.The stone caused the water to splash up, getting Yosef's pants dirty.Yosef felt the splash on his socks too. The mud seeped through and touc

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
