Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 423
Zara quickly tucked the pillbox into her purse. Shelby noticed she did not take any of the pills and asked, "What's up?"Then, she saw the ring on Zara's finger, and her eyes widened. "You're getting married to Mr. Webb? Are you guys planning on having kids?""He mentioned wanting kids last night, but I'm still thinking about it," Zara said, her smile dimming. "I had a check-up a few months back. The doctor said it might be hard for me to get pregnant because of a past miscarriage that thinned the walls of my uterus."Shelby got serious. "If you're not sure about having kids, you should still be careful. Even if it's hard for you to get pregnant, don't just hope for the best. You don't want to end up with a baby you're not ready for, especially if you're worried about being able to have kids later on."Zara nodded and pressed her lips together. "I'll think it over."After eating, Zara invited Shelby over for dinner that night. "It's just me and my folks at home. It'd be more fun w

Trevor's face was scratched and bleeding from getting hit by the broom.Zara quickly stepped in. "Mom! Don't hit him!"Sharon looked at Trevor with disappointment and anger. "Why can't you just behave and live well?! Just when things are looking up, you have to stir up trouble and make everyone miserable. You, you, you..."Seeing Sharon's face turn pale, Zara got worried and hugged her. "Mom! Calm down! Please, calm down!"Sharon's head felt like it was on fire, and everything went black before she fell to the ground. Zara's mind went completely blank with shock! Sharon's artificial heart started flashing a red warning light. Zara held Sharon's hand tight and quickly dialed for an ambulance. However, it was the holidays, and there was a shortage of hospital staff because of it. No ambulances were available.Luckily, Yosef had let Zara borrow his car that day. Zara and Trevor lifted Sharon into the car and raced to the hospital. They rushed Sharon into the emergency room, but the

He arrived at a private villa and immediately heard Trevor trying to talk his way out of trouble."I don't know what you're talking about. I've never seen it or heard of it!" Trevor insisted.Yosef watched quietly as a helper brought over a pair of disposable slippers for him to wear inside the villa.In a big living room with fancy decorations, Yaxley was sitting on the couch with his legs wide open. He had his elbows on his knees and was mixing his coffee on the table with a spoon. He gave Trevor a hard stare."Trevor, why do you think I came to you and not someone else? Huh? We all know what's going on, so why are you pretending not to get it?""I really don't know why you're after me. I'm disabled. I have a bad leg. You're being tough on me. Don't you have any heart?"Yaxley tossed the spoon aside. "I gave you a chance, and you blew it. I know you're Ms. Lowry's dad, so I don't want to rough you up, but you're asking for it."The bodyguard caught Trevor and slammed him down on the
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 426
"Why bother with you?" Yaxley sneered. "It's much more fun to go after what you care about. And we'll make sure Ms. Lowry knows you're not her real dad. Your family was drowning in debt, and you used her to pay it off. It was all a trap."Yaxley laughed with a chilling tone. "You and Winston needed money. You knew Ms. Lowry was protected, so you plotted together and pretended to sell her off to force the people behind her to pay up."The truth hit Trevor like a punch to the gut. "How do you know this?" he gasped.Yaxley smirked, standing tall with his hands in his pockets. He looked down at Trevor. "Oh, Henrik, you're nothing but a lowlife. Dropping the loving father act now, are we?"Trevor was in shock. Soon, the tears came, and he cried out loud on the ground. "Yes, I'm a lowlife. I've let her down. I've let Zara down...""If you know you've wronged her, then make it right. Her future is in your hands," Yaxley said, trying to get into Trevor's head. "Remember how much the old c

Zara did not really believe his 'one last time.' It was like when someone who loved to gamble said they'd never bet again. She had lost all trust in Trevor.She did not want to bother her mom, Sharon, so she took Trevor out to the hallway of the hospital ward. "What is it?" she asked.Trevor looked at her carefully and asked, "Does your face still hurt?" He felt so guilty for slapping her before. "I've never hit you in over 20 years..."Zara cut him off, getting a little annoyed, "Forget about the slap. Is there anything else you want to say?"Trevor just stared at her. She had always looked a bit distant, but now he was really seeing her clearly for the first time in many years. He realized she was growing up to be more and more like...His features softened as he showed with his hands how tiny she was when she first joined their family. "You were so small, sleeping 22 hours a day. We could never wake you up. I was worried sick, thinking you were ill. "I carried you to many doc

Trevor did not show up for the next few days, and Zara was too busy to think about him. Jolene had come to Starville, and she was all caught up in getting Sharon's treatment sorted. The days slipped by in all the hustle and bustle.Zara had been up all night with Sharon again. As she snoozed on the fold-out bed, the phone in her arms buzzed to life.She was still half asleep when she reached a hand out and picked up the call. "Hello, who's this?"When no one answered, she switched to speakerphone. "Hello? Who is it? Are you the doctor?""It's your husband."Zara snapped awake and glanced at the phone screen. It was Yosef.She had been so wrapped up in caring for Sharon that she had only sent a few messages to him. She knew he was at home for the holidays. His family had lots of traditions, and he had not had a chance to come see her.His unexpected call threw her for a loop. "What's up?""What's up? You're asking me?" Yosef's voice came through with a light laugh. "Put down the

Zara had no idea how stunned Cecil was. She was just taken aback to see Yosef in a white shirt too.She hardly ever saw him wear white. She always thought he looked best in black—solid, understated, and classy. However, now she saw that white softened his look, giving him a gentle quality.Zara approached him and whispered her complaint, "You could've given me a heads-up last night when we chatted. I'm totally unprepared."Last night, he sent her a video of his cousin's cat doing an amazing backflip. She could not believe her eyes—a flipping cat! She begged him to film more clips, and he teased her, "You like this cat? I could nab it for you."Zara could not help but laugh at the thought of Yosef, of all people, plotting to nab his cousin's cat.She playfully protested, but he seemed thrilled by the idea. Then, Zara had a bright idea and said, "I used to have a cat that slept with me every night when I was little."Yosef grinned and replied, "Well, then there's no need for cat-na

Zara checked her makeup in the mirror and fixed her clothes. Something crossed her mind just then. She turned to ask him, "Does Chairman Webb know you're going to marry me?""I haven't told him yet. I'm worried he'll try to stop us. We'll tell him after it's done," Yosef was being bold today.However, Zara did not think Ethan would mind.He had seemed to be rooting for her and Yosef before. Then, she remembered to ask, "Do you know a woman named Faye?""No, who is she?"She was the mysterious woman who was pregnant in Cecil's hometown.Zara had once thought that woman might be involved with Yosef.However, after hearing from Wilson and Teresa that Yosef was not the only one with a will to inherit and Yosef's story about Macy paying a caretaker to hurt Sharon, Zara had a hunch. She realized that Faye and her baby had nothing to do with Yosef, which was why she never brought it up before. At this moment, she just wanted to be sure.Opening her purse, Zara saw the light yellow e

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
