Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 251
The night before Sharon's surgery, Zara thought she would be wide awake with worry. To her surprise, however, the next time she opened her eyes after falling asleep was seven in the morning. Sharon was scheduled for surgery at eight. Zara folded up her bed and freshened up in the hospital's bathroom before heading back to the ICU.Soon after, Cheryl and Troy arrived.Right at eight, the nurses wheeled Sharon off to the operating room. The red light that read 'In Surgery' flickered on.That was when Zara started to really worry.She was scared the surgery might not work; scared of unexpected problems; scared that by agreeing to the surgery, she might have made a terrible mistake... However, she knew that without the surgery, Sharon wouldn't stand a chance.Cheryl was super nervous too and started to cry.Troy wrapped his arms around her and said, "Don't worry, it's all going to be okay. The doctors are from overseas. They know what they're doing. Right, Zara?"Zara wanted to be
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 252
Cheryl and Troy were still there.They had no idea what the doctor had told Zara. When they saw Zara rush to hug a man, they were clueless about who he was.Yosef gave Charvi a quick look. She got the message and hurried over to explain things to Cheryl and Troy.What mattered more, however, was giving the two of them some space.Zara's forehead was resting right on Yosef's collarbone.In that instant, she was crying happy tears for Sharon. She felt a huge relief as her worries melted away, and her heart was truly dancing with joy.Only Zara knew how much sincerity she poured into the hug.Once she had calmed down a bit, Zara tried to step back from Yosef's arms.Now, it was Yosef who did not want to let go. He held her close by the waist. She could not help but ask, "Mr. Webb?"Yosef thought for a second, his eyes narrowing. "Is this the first time you've hugged me because you wanted to?"Zara held onto his suit jacket and whispered, "Dr. Jolene is still watching us.""We c

Yosef was cool and distant. "The doctors and nurses will be there if something unexpected happens, the doctors and nurses are there. What can you do that they can't?"Zara found herself back at East Coast, unable to argue.Meanwhile, Beatrice was driving there too. She spotted Yosef's car from afar and smiled, wanting to go over to him. However, she froze when she saw Zara step out of the car and go inside with him. Her smile vanished, and she was left gasping for air.What was this?...In the main bedroom, Yosef opened the closet, took a quick look, and tossed an old pair of pajamas to Zara. "Go take a shower," he said before leaving with his phone in hand.Zara held the pajamas tightly. She had just stopped worrying about Sharon, and now she was filled with a new kind of nervousness. The surgery was over, and Yosef would want something in return. She could not say no.The window was open, letting in a cool, damp breeze. Dark clouds were rolling in, ready to pour down rain.T

Yosef finally looked away and slid the plate toward Zara. "You really liked the dish yesterday, didn't you? I had him make it the same way."He had ordered it just for her. He was not planning to eat any of it.Zara bit her lip and lifted her glass. "Even though this is part of our deal, I still want to thank you. Without you, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly for my mom."Yosef gave a soft laugh. "You're thanking me with the food I bought?"She quickly said, "I'll take you out for a meal sometime."He glanced at her, then picked up his glass and clinked it against hers."Deal. I'll hold you to that."...After they finished eating, Zara started cleaning up the table and took the dishes to the sink to wash.While washing, she tried to figure out how to ask Yosef if she could go back to the hospital to see Sharon.When she finally had her words ready and came out of the kitchen, she saw that Yosef was not in the living room. The study light was on, though.She could not j

Yosef hesitated before picking up.Beatrice's voice came through in a panic. "Mr. Webb, Mr. Webb! I was driving, and I think I might have hit someone by accident. What should I do?"Yosef's brows creased with concern. "Where are you?""I'm at..." She gave her location, her voice quivering with tears. "Mr. Webb, I'm really scared..."Yosef turned off the shower and said in a deep voice, "Don't be scared. I'm on my way."He stepped out of the bathroom, changed his clothes, and took one last look at the woman on the bed before heading out the door.The door closed with a loud click, and Zara stirred awake.She had a sleepy hunch that Yosef had gone, but she was too tired to care. She rolled over and drifted back to sleep, thinking it was better that he was gone.Zara did not wake up until after nine the next morning.The house was quiet. Yosef had not come back.Just as she got ready to leave after freshening up, her phone rang. It was Yosef."Go into the study and look for the

Zara quickly flipped through the contract and noticed the deal they had struck. She frowned. The price was way lower than what it should be. Why would Lark Corporation agree to such a deal?She checked the date on the contract. It was signed just days after the cruise... That meant Yosef had promised Yaxley something special to get him to agree to such a low price.Yaxley had wanted her as a bargaining chip, but since she did not go along with it, Yosef must have offered something else.Zara stopped short, her mind piecing things together. Now she understood why Yosef wanted her to work on this contract.It was not really about the contract at all. He was using it to show her that he never planned to use her as a bargaining chip with Yaxley. He had been negotiating with other things in mind all along.Did Zara believe him?Yes, she did.What did it matter if she believed, though?Yosef kept going back to this because when he first asked her to come back to him, she had accused

It was Melanie's own fault.She was the one who brought up the surveillance cameras at home, so Yosef checked the files to make sure the old videos were all overwritten. Indeed, there was nothing to fear.The videos were gone, but the memories stayed with him, distracting him even in meetings.He had to see her, and there she was, asleep on the couch—unguarded.Her head was tilted, showing off the graceful curve of her neck and shoulders.Her skin was so pale and delicate, with just a hint of blue veins showing.Yosef used to think that romance was just a simple part of life, nothing to get too worked up about. After being away from Zara for so long, however, he realized he really missed her. He gently kissed her lips and slowly lifted her nightgown. Zara was caught off guard by his sudden return. She felt trapped on the couch, with no place to hide from his strong embrace. His eyes were half-closed. His face was so close that she could see the details of his eyebrows and nose.
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 258
Zara was scrubbing her hands with soap and a brush when she looked up and saw a bright red mark on her neck in the mirror.She closed her eyes, trying not to think about it.She told herself that the close call she just had could have been much worse.Zara opened her eyes again, her face calm.She washed her hands a few more times, put on some concealer to hide the mark, and chose a turtleneck sweater to put on.As she tossed her nightgown into the hamper, she noticed Yosef's clothes. They were not what he wore yesterday... Did he wear them out last night?She looked closer and saw a blood stain on his white jacket. Yosef did not seem hurt earlier, right?Curious, Zara examined the jacket. The blood must have come from someone else.The fabric was of good quality, and smells would cling to it. She caught a hint of disinfectant.Did Yosef go to a hospital?He must have been there for a while for his clothes to still smell like it.Why did he go to the hospital last night for

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
