Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 301
Charvi had just let out a sigh of relief when the office phone buzzed, making her tense up again. "Mr. Webb, what do you need?""Book a ticket, I'm heading to Westwood.""Okay." Charvi was confused. They just returned from Westwood.She did not have time to ponder as Yosef hung up and strode out of his office. Charvi quickly followed.Yosef said, "Set it up. I'm going to check on the Westwood branch.""Right away."It did not take long for Charvi to figure out that Yosef was planning to spend a little time in Westwood."I'll get on it immediately."At the elevator, the doors slid open to reveal Leah, who was surprised at first but quickly smiled politely."Mr. Webb, are you heading out? Could I have ten minutes of your time? I need to update you on some work."…Zara had pushed aside all the small distractions, concentrating on her job until it was time to leave.She and an assistant were discussing work as they walked down the stairs.The assistant asked her to dinner, an

Yaxley raised his hand slightly, and the violinist quietly left the room. The silence settled as he said, "Crich works for Winston."Crich was the prisoner who had fought with Trevor, breaking his leg and nearly getting extra time added to his sentence.Zara, regaining her composure, asked, "How do you know Crich?""You don't seem surprised that Crich is with Winston," Yaxley observed sharply. If Zara had not known, her first question would have been about Crich, not about him.Zara did not deny it. She had known all along.She had always felt there was something strange about the fight between Crich and Trevor. She told Shelby her thoughts, and Shelby asked her prison guard friend for information.Crich had a close friend in prison who knew all his secrets. This friend told the guard that Winston had sent a message to Crich, telling him to break Trevor's leg when he got the chance."Stanley broke Winston's leg, and Winston's been holding a grudge. He couldn't get back at Stanle

The university in Capital City had to have made an exceptional offer to lure Stanley away, considering Starville University was one of the best in the nation.Zara offered her heartfelt congratulations. "I hope your future is filled with success.""If you ever need anything, you can still reach out to me," Stanley said kindly. "I've promised to help you, and I always keep my promises.""Okay, I'll remember that," Zara replied.Deep down, the two of them knew it was just a courteous offer.Zara, who always dealt with things on her own, had never wanted to trouble Stanley even when he was close by. Now that he was moving to Capital City, she would not dream of imposing on him.Stanley left shortly after.Yaxley returned just as the waiter brought out the dishes. He casually suggested, "Try the foie gras here. It's really good."Zara had no appetite left and felt really down. She looked at him and asked, "Why did you set this whole thing up?"It seemed like he wanted to force her

Zara's head was already spinning, and the latest news hit her like a wave, making her feel woozy. She could not believe it.Did the babies not cry last night because of their full diapers? Who would poison a pair of one-month-old babies?She was not the only one in the nursery last night. Yosef was there before she arrived.Zara could not waste time trying to figure it all out. She quickly got herself together and hopped in a taxi to the Hoster family's place. She had to clear this up, or Stefan would be after her.…Stepping out of the taxi, a chill wind made her back sweat. She was bundled up but still shivered uncontrollably. She bit her lip and pushed forward.The Hoster family's place was lit up. As a maid led Zara inside, she overheard the twins' nanny, Mary, accusing someone with total confidence, "It was Ms. Lowry! She looked so guilty last night, and Clara saw it too. Didn't you, Clara?"The maid who was called out nodded in agreement.The twins' mom, Tess Fort, asked

He just sat there, still as a statue.Marigold snapped, "We haven't figured out what happened yet. No hitting!"Tess was panting, her hair a mess and her eyes red from worry. She had obviously been up all night because of her children.Marigold added, "Once we know the whole story, I'll know what to do."She was not just talking to Tess. It was a warning for Zara too.Leah got up and gently hugged Tess, whispering, "Don't worry just yet, Tess. Ms. Lowry is here, and we'll get to the bottom of this. If she's behind it, Mr. Webb won't just stand by and watch."Zara wondered what Yosef would do.Tess' hands were balled into fists. She was full of anger and hatred. "Alright, let's get this straight. Ms. Lowry, we've never had any problems before, so why go after my babies?! "If you're upset with me, fine, but my babies are only a month old. How could you?"Zara spoke up, clear and firm, "Like you said, we have no bad blood between us. Why would I hurt your babies who are just a m
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 306
Zara's head shot up.She was not sure if Tess had just spoken out of worry and impulse or if she really meant it.The living room went quiet, and no one said a word. Tess' angry eyes were fixed on Zara. The silence made it feel like they were all waiting for Zara to kneel. Zara was in high heels and standing on a plush carpet. She already felt like she might fall at any moment now. She also felt sick in a way she could not explain.She bit her lip, ready to talk.Just then, from the single couch, there was the sound of a glass hitting the table.It was clear and sharp.Zara instinctively looked toward Yosef.Before she could see his face, Leah spoke up. Zara's scattered attention was pulled back by Leah's voice."Tess, take a breath. This... Hey, Mr. Webb, you should say something for Ms. Lowry."Then, Yosef said, "Madam Hoster, does the Hoster family make people kneel without knowing the whole story?"Yosef had finally spoken up for Zara.However, it was only because Leah

Marigold walked over to Yosef, her voice softening. "Yosef, you've been thoughtful. You were at the train station when I called, weren't you? You just arrived in Westwood and rushed over to see the children without taking a break."Yosef replied modestly, "It's no big deal.""You should also stay the night. I have two rooms prepared for you."Yosef accepted the offer, saying, "Alright."Marigold rubbed her lower back and let out a weary sigh. "I had a long day, and my old bones are feeling the strain."Leah was really thoughtful. "Madam Hoster, you should take a break. We're practically family here, so there's no need to fuss over us. We can just help ourselves."In a quiet corner, Zara closed her eyes as she tried to soothe the sick feeling inside her.She could not see, but she heard everything.Leah's voice contained a secret meaning. It seemed she was hinting at something special between her and Yosef.She kept saying the word 'we'.Yosef had brought Leah to the Hosters'

Zara bit her lip and turned to Mary. "Excuse me, what's your name?"Mary huffed and turned her head, clearly not wanting to help.Zara kept her cool. "Madam Hoster asked me to look into this. If I want to find out who did the poisoning, I'll have to question everyone, not just you. "If you don't help me, I'll think you're hiding something, and I'll tell Madam Hoster. Then, you'll have to deal with whatever she decides to do."Zara said this for Mary and for all the other helpers to hear.She needed their help and was using the little authority she had to get it.Her warning worked. Mary's face went pale, and she dropped the act. "I... I'm Mary."Yosef went upstairs, glanced back, and saw Zara asking Mary questions in an orderly way. She was set on solving the case herself. He felt a bit miffed and looked away.Then, he paused. "Let's not go to the room just yet."The maid stopped. "What would you like to do, sir?"Yosef asked, "Where's Tess' room?"The maid paused, a puzzle

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
