Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 428
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

Haddon Building was just a stone's throw away from the county clerk's office, practically back-to-back. As soon as Zara snapped out of her daze, she bolted from the office!Yosef was right on her heels, catching her arm. He had not heard the phone call and was confused. "What's going on?"Zara tried to shake him off. They had told her that her dad was gone, but she could not and would not believe it. She needed to see for herself... However, her voice would not come out. The shock had stolen her ability to speak.She had forgotten how to form words, and all she could do was give Yosef a pleading look. She was silently begging him to let her go. She had to see...Yosef had never seen her eyes so full of sorrow, so different from the brightness just before. His eyebrows knitted together, and his lips tightened. He released her.Zara sprinted down the street, her ears ringing. The wind slashed at her cheeks, stinging sharply.She stopped dead in her tracks outside Haddon Building.
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 432
The officer brought the note, and Zara knew right away that it was Trevor's writing.He had only written a few sentences.'I'm a total failure at life. It's so pointless. Even my own daughter won't listen to me. She's dead set on marrying that Webb guy. If I die, it'll all be over.'It turned out that this was the reason…He could not stop Zara from marrying Yosef, so he chose death to avoid facing it?Zara had no idea that was why Trevor took his own life. She knew he did not want her with Yosef, but she never thought he would go to such lengths.As Yosef helped Zara out of the police station, she passed out right into his arms.Yosef brought her back to East Coast and called a doctor over, who said she was just extremely upset and would be okay when she woke up."She's not talking either," Yosef said with a heavy heart.The doctor explained, "Not talking can be a sign of a mental issue. If she doesn't start talking after she wakes up, she might need to see a therapist."Yos
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 433
Yosef got back to East Coast, walked in, and found Zara still asleep.He took a quick shower, climbed into bed, and held her close. "It's okay, everything will be okay," he whispered.However, deep down, he knew things were about to get tough. With Trevor gone and 45 billion dollars missing, Zara's life would not be calm anymore.His premonition was right.After Trevor's death, the groups that had been waiting quietly started to stir. They were like lava hidden deep underground, ready to burst through the surface after an earthquake.When they did, everything would be consumed by flames and turn to ash....Jumping from a building was one of the most heartbreaking ways to go.Trevor's body was a wrangled mess. Cheryl and Troy's last goodbye was said at the funeral home before Trevor's body was turned into ashes and put in a small box. Cheryl was sobbing so hard she could barely stand. She held the box tightly as she left. Across the street, a man in the back seat of a black c

Yosef replied. "No, I've only seen your dad three times."Once by chance out on the street, once when he met her parents, and once at the villa—just three times.Zara felt a wave of sadness at his words. Yosef knelt down, gently lifted her face, and looked into her eyes. "Sweetheart, what can we do to keep this from weighing you down?"Zara shook her head. She could not stop thinking about it. Her dad had passed away so suddenly. Unless she lost her memory, she could not just forget.Yosef leaned in to kiss her, but Zara pulled away without thinking. He did not keep up with his attempts and just gazed at her with deep concern.Up close, she could see the soft lines of his eyelids. They were not as sharp as usual, and his eyes were filled with worry for her.Zara bit her lip, slid out of bed, and started to change out of her pajamas. She murmured, "I have to go back to the police station."She picked out some clothes from the wardrobe, closed the door, and turned to find Yosef's
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 435
Zara shook her head, but was it because she still could not accept her father's death or did she have a different opinion?She straightened out the papers and handed them back to Bob. Without a word, Zara left the police station.Charvi caught up with her and said in a soft voice, "Zara, is there anything about your dad's passing that you're still confused about?"Zara shook her head, unable to explain. Charvi pressed, "Where do you need to go now?""Could you drop me off at the house, please?"Back at home, Zara was surprised to see the house spotless.Sharon had to be rushed to the hospital that day. The food had been left out, but Trevor had saved what he could in the fridge and tossed the rest.That explained the big bag of trash Bob mentioned he had thrown out that evening.In the attic, she noticed her bedding was all new and neatly made, bringing a tear to her eye.They had cameras in the house. After asking Charvi to leave, Zara watched the last footage of Trevor on he

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
