Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 321
Zara's phone rang at the perfect time.She glanced at the screen and gave a sorry smile. "It's Mr. Schmidt calling. It must be something important. I'll step outside to take it. You guys continue eating. Don't wait for me."The others made disappointed noises, but Zara ignored them and hurried out to the terrace through the glass door.Yaxley watched her go. He picked up a glass of wine without much thought and sipped on it, his eyes hiding his thoughts.Outside, Zara quickly turned off her phone's alarm. Her face turned serious and cold.She made up her mind that after tonight, she would have a serious talk with Yaxley. She would tell him to stop these games once and for all.Having fun was one thing, but she could not stand being bullied or threatened.The terrace was big, full of flowers and greenery. Dim floor lamps were scattered around to set the mood, but they did not give off much light.Zara did not hurry back inside. She decided to stay out for half an hour.She wand

"That's nonsense!" Zara burst out, her voice shaking. She just could not win against this guy.She explained, feeling cornered, "Why didn't I say no? With so many people around, wouldn't he get mad and make my life miserable if I embarrassed him? Won't people like you do that?"She knew all too well how these powerful folks operated.When they were happy, they could be sweet and supportive, even act humble. However, once they were pissed, their sweet words today could turn into tomorrow's revenge.She had learned that lesson from Yosef, had she not? That was why she had to leave her sick mom and run away from Starville to Westwood.Yosef's face softened a bit after hearing her side, and he was not as pushy."I've taken care of the bill for this room. From now on, if you need money, help, or a place, just let me know."Let him know? What did he think they were to each other?Zara held her breath, saw her chance, and pushed him away. They barely separated before he was back to pi

They stayed out playing until past ten that night but eventually left because they all had work the next day.Yaxley had not had a single drink. Whenever someone offered, he would just say, "I've got to drive Ms. Lowry home later."In the end, Zara had no choice but to let him drive her. He pulled the car right up to the hotel door.Zara had never told him her address, but somehow, all these men seemed to know exactly where she lived.She was already thinking about finding a new place to stay.The hotel she was at now was pretty fancy and safer than most. It came with a clean room, breakfast included. It was a good deal and close to work, which made it the best option.As she thought about it, she got annoyed. If it were not for these guys, she would not have to deal with all this hassle.Zara took off her seatbelt and grabbed the car door handle, but she did not get out right away. Instead, she called out, "Mr. Lark."Yaxley had removed his coat and was just in a sweater that

While Zara was at a loss for words, Yaxley reached into the car door's pocket and handed her a leather bag. "Here's the scoop on Morter. Give it some thought."Zara paused for a moment and then took it. "Thanks, Mr. Lark."Yaxley grinned. "Head up and get some rest. Don't forget your medicine before bed. You'll recover quicker. You still sound a bit raspy."She had one more question. "How did you know I'd be at Epitome Gastronomy today?"Yaxley suddenly got playful. "It's destiny. We'd find each other no matter the distance."Hearing this, she just opened the door and stepped out.Behind her, Yaxley let out a soft laugh....The following day, Zara and Stefan headed out to see some clients.They had their meeting in a theater and chatted about work while catching a show. When the play ended, so did most of the negotiation.They had more to do, so they said their goodbyes and stood up to leave.Walking down from the third floor to the second, they bumped into Charvi, who was

Schmidt Group had a cafeteria where employees could eat, but Zara thought if she went there, people might talk about her behind her back while they ate. Thus, she chose a little diner near work for lunch.The diner's doors were wide open to the street, and Leah just happened to walk by and peek inside. It was then she spotted Zara."Zara, what a coincidence!"Even though Zara had been really upset with Leah at the Hoster family's place and had kind of snapped at her, grown-ups could still act nice to each other unless they were really mad.Zara smiled too. "It is a coincidence, Ms. Nox. What are you doing around here?"Leah sat down across from her and ordered the same pasta as Zara."I heard there's an old bookstore nearby with some rare old books. I wanted to see if they had the one I've been looking for."Zara nodded, asking, "Did you find it?""No," Leah said, looking a bit sad. "But it's okay. I still have some time before Mr. Webb Senior's birthday. I'll ask some friends
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 326
Zara stumbled as someone pulled her arm. Looking closely, she saw it was Jane.Jane's eyes were red as she said, "Ms. Lowry, I know I made a mistake. Please forgive me and let me come back to Schmidt Group."Zara was surprised for a moment, then she calmed down.She gently removed Jane's hand from her arm and explained, "Ms. Cooper, you're giving me too much credit. It was Mr. Schmidt's choice to let you go, not mine."Without saying more, Zara walked away.Jane broke down, crying and shouting after her."Zara! You think you're so special, but we all know how you got into Schmidt Group—through Mr. Schmidt's brother! And now you strut around with Mr. Lark's help! Just wait! Your time will come, and I'll be there to see it!"They were near Schmidt Group's office, and it was lunchtime, so many employees were around. They watched the CEO's secretary and the former assistant argue on the street, peeking with curiosity.Zara did not look back and headed straight into Schmidt Group's

Zara cleared her throat and said in a raspy whisper, "If you want this table, it's all yours."Yosef's brows were furrowed together. "What's up with your throat?"Zara kept trying to leave, but Yosef ordered, "Sit and eat. I'll take you to the hospital after.""I don't want to bother you, Mr. Webb," she said, determined to leave. Yosef, however, was not someone she could easily say no to.The two of them put up a struggle, and the plate in Zara's hand tipped. Some of the food spilled and scalded Zara's hand. Anger flared up inside her.With a loud smack, she dumped the plate on the table, making everyone in the restaurant look their way.Yosef's expression turned stormy in an instant. "Who let you go around breaking dishes?"Yosef would storm off even if it was Ethan who banged the table in front of him, let alone someone else. Zara was bold as brass!...After the commotion, Zara felt a twinge of regret.Seeing Yosef, all she could think of was how he had kept her as a bac

Zara looked down and kept eating her food.Yosef watched her, his voice deep. "Should something said when you're just a kid really matter?"Zara looked up sharply.Yosef, who had not gotten mad when she slammed her plate down or when she had boldly told him to cut ties with his admirers, was now giving her a cold stare."You and Shawn were serious, but don't think everyone's like that. We're not all ready to commit to only one person at a young age. It was just a little fun. She's not my real first love."Zara and Shawn were a high school affair too.her grip on her spoon tightened as she asked, "It doesn't count? Then why do you still do whatever Leah says?"When had Yosef ever done anything Leah said?Zara took a few more bites of her food. Her throat felt sticky and uncomfortable, so she got up to get a glass of water.Yosef leaned back in his chair, his eyes cold.When Zara came back with her water, Yosef tapped the table. "Finish up and I'll take you to the hospital. We

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
