Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 278
Yaxley did not like Tanya's idea. "It's not right to make a woman strip down in front of everyone, so..."Zara cut in, "Then forget it."Yaxley looked at Zara, who was a couple of steps ahead, and narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean 'forget it', Ms. Lowry?"Zara's voice cut through the chatter, turning all eyes on her. "I'm still here, you know," she said. "Ms. Nox, you whisking Mr. Webb away like that didn't seem very polite to me."Leah blinked, taken aback. However, she quickly recovered. "I just need to talk to Mr. Webb, that's all!"Zara raised an eyebrow. "Really?"What had been a simple tug-of-war between two women for a man's attention suddenly became a three-way battle. The rest of the room looked on, nobody daring to butt in.The stakes were high. The person causing the scene was Stefan's guest, the victim was Yaxley's cousin, and now, the one demanding answers was Yosef's official date. With the three most powerful men in the room involved, no one wanted to step on

Sarah had made things right, and there was nothing left to say.Yaxley said, "We're all friends here. Let's forget about it. Dinner's ready. Let's go eat."Everyone agreed without saying a word and got up.Sarah did not look at anyone and left by herself, skipping the dinner.Zara was worried and wanted to follow Sarah, but Yosef held her hand. "Where are you off to? Didn't you miss me after not seeing me all afternoon?"Anyone who overheard him might think he was being playful.Zara, too worried to think that, felt she had spoken out of turn earlier and upset him. He might be looking for a way to get back at her.He was Yaxley's business partner, and she had made a comment that could have made Yaxley's cousin look bad—all to help Sarah. She had not apologized as Sarah did to Yaxley and Leah. If Yaxley held a grudge, it could hurt their business prospects.Yosef really did not like it when women made things complicated for him.She had been careful not to bother him for the la

The Jenkins family lived in Capital City.The old-timers in Capital City had a tradition. For weddings and funerals, they would always bring in a performance troupe to put on a show in the hall.Once an act ended and it was time to switch scenes, the stagehands would pull up the green curtain.Sarah, when she was younger, loved to sneak onto the stage, lift the curtain, and spy on the crew as they set up and the actors as they changed costumes.Even when she was all grown up, she could not kick the habit. She would even lead her little cousins up onto the stage.At that time, her youngest cousin had asked, "What's the next scene about?"Sarah, curious herself, saw the crew working on a set with red walls and green tiles. She was trying to guess the next performance when she heard her parents' mix of laughter and scolding behind her."There she is! Just like when she was small, always peeking behind the stage. Sarah, get down here right now! How many times have I told you it's ru

"I don't know," Sarah said. "For now, I don't feel any regret, just sadness and heartache. I've tried for years to warm his heart, and just when I thought I'd made some progress, it ended up benefiting someone else."Zara offered a gentle smile. "Maybe in time, or a few years from now, you'll look back and know if it was a mistake to have him in your life."Sarah gave a small smile in return. "Yeah."It was like that with life. Time would tell.Sarah felt calmer now and asked, "Aren't you curious about which Schmidt family son I was engaged to?""It's Stanley, isn't it?" Zara guessed.In Aquaville, she remembered Yosef mentioning Stanley's fiancée. She had asked Stanley, who admitted it, yet he said there were no real feelings between them. He also said the woman had been close to his brother lately.It all made sense now, and Sarah confirmed it with a nod.From inside, the sounds of a party starting could be heard. "You should go back to the party. I'm going to my room," Sarah

The chowder that Zara could not bring herself to drink at lunch had been consumed by Yosef.At that moment, Zara looked as if she had seen a ghost.She was feeling the same way now. Yosef had lifted her shirt, and the sensation of his lips and tongue sent shivers all over her body. It made her skin break out in goosebumps.In a panic, she burst out, "Mr. Webb, hold on, I got my period!"Yosef let out a cold laugh. "You were fine at the hot spring this afternoon, and now you suddenly have your period?"Zara clenched her teeth and said, "I didn't swim. I just sat and soaked my feet. Mr. Webb, you can ask Ms. Nox if you don't believe me."His lips were twisted into a smile, but his eyes were icy. "If you don't want to do this, let's talk about the contract. Did Shelby get back to you?"Zara swallowed hard and tried to push him away. "I haven't checked my inbox yet. I'll go look right now... Ugh!"She tried to get up from the bed, but Yosef grabbed her shoulder firmly and pushed he

Night turned to day, but Zara had barely slept.She listened all night for any sounds outside, but Yosef never came back.Zara looked pale and troubled. Without her makeup, she could not conceal it and just had to deal with it.She ate alone in the restaurant and then spent some time outside.One by one, the guests left the manor, their two-day holiday over. Zara had not seen Yosef, and he had not reached out. She certainly was not going to look for him.When he still had not shown up after lunch, Zara gave up waiting. She went to her room, packed her things, and got ready to take a taxi to the city.Stepping out of the manor, a car pulled up beside her.Thinking she was in the way, Zara moved aside.The car window rolled down. Yaxley, leaning on the edge with a smirk, asked, "Ms. Lowry, walking by yourself?"Zara hesitated. "Mr. Lark."Yaxley motioned. "Hop in, I'll drive you."She politely refused, saying, "No need to bother, Mr. Lark. I've called a taxi.""Just cancel it
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 284
Yaxley gripped the steering wheel, took a turn, and then glanced at Zara. He finally cracked a smile. "I was just joking. I noticed you looked a bit pale, and I thought maybe I hadn't been the best host. I wanted to cheer you up."Zara did not appreciate his attempts at humor.She thought Yaxley was just plain annoying.Yaxley was not someone she could just brush off, so when they reached the entrance of Central Hospital, she kept up her polite front. "Thanks, Mr. Lark."Yaxley smiled slyly. "Don't mention it. But I'm serious about wanting to get to know you better. If I slip up, I hope you'll let it slide, Ms. Lowry."Zara's brows were furrowed together. She knew arguing was pointless, though. Without another word, she turned and walked into the hospital.Yaxley stood there, watching her go. He almost reached for a cigarette out of habit. However, the memory of what had happened at the Jerring-style restaurant stopped him. As his car pulled away, he rolled down the window and to

Macy looked totally shocked."Yosef got your dad out? I told my team to handle it. When you called and said your dad was out, I thought they had done it."Zara nodded. "Maybe they didn't follow through as they said they would.""I'll have to straighten them out when I get back," Macy said, puzzled. "But it seems Yosef really cares about you. So why won't you go back to working with him?"Zara kept it simple. "Mrs. Parker, there's just this one thing I need help with."Macy sighed, a mix of frustration and pity on her face. "Well, okay. I respect your choice. Ethan mentioned this morning that an old family friend passed away. He wanted to go say goodbye himself, but he's not feeling well. He figured he'd have to send Yosef instead. It's all the way in Capital City, and he won't be back for a couple of days."Zara felt a wave of relief wash over her."Thank you, Mrs. Parker."...After leaving the tea shop, Zara hailed a taxi and headed back to the hospital.The evening sky was

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
