Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 438
Zara woke up face down the next morning.The alarm yanked her from sleep, and she felt like she had barely shut her eyes.Last night was intense. Yosef had playfully talked about making up for a wedding night, but it felt like he was trying to keep her there with him forever.She was all achy and did not want to move. However, the phone kept ringing. Grumbling under the covers, she finally reached out, grabbed it, and mumbled, "Hello?"The person on the line hesitated when they heard Zara's raspy voice. They then asked gently, "Zara?"She rolled over. "Yeah. Cecil, what's up?""You okay?" Cecil sounded worried. She probably thought Zara had been crying all night about Trevor. She could not possibly guess the real reason.Zara was waking up more then. "I'm fine."Cecil sounded relieved. "Well, don't just stay in all day. Come out for a bite. Shelby and I are going out for breakfast. Join us?"Zara glanced around her bedroom. Yosef had already left for work, and the big, quiet E

"Why are you bringing up Xever?" Yosef challenged. "Her dad's name is Trevor. You were just at his funeral yesterday, offering flowers and your respects. Have you forgotten?""There's no need to play games with me," Ethan replied. "If you weren't aware of the situation, you wouldn't have married Zara in secret without telling me. You went ahead without my consent because you were afraid I'd stop you, right?"Yosef stayed silent, lifting a cup of coffee to his nose. The steam clouded his vision, hiding the emotions in his eyes."Yosef, you're in charge of Azure Cloud Group now. You went over my head to ally with Yaxley and Stefan, and I didn't object. However, with power comes responsibility. "You have to find that 45 billion dollars. It'll be a huge problem for the company if you don't," Ethan said before walking away.Yosef put down his cup, his face growing distant and aloof like a frost-covered landscape. The air around him was equally chilly.He dialed Ophite's number. "Got

After that first gag, Shelby just could not hold back and gagged two more times.Zara quickly grabbed two tissues, folded them, and used them to push the hot plate a little farther away. Cecil hurriedly asked, "Shelby, are you okay?" Shelby took a sip of her tea, which helped calm the queasy feeling in her chest. She shook her head, "I'm fine." Cecil sniffed the plate of food and said, "It doesn't smell too strong. Black pudding is really tasty." Shelby bit her lip. "Maybe I just need to walk around a bit. Sitting for too long without moving probably made me feel sick all of a sudden." Cecil just hummed in acknowledgment a few times, not thinking too much about it. She refilled Shelby's tea cup. Zara glanced at Shelby's stomach and frowned a little, but she did not say anything right then. Shelby did not gag again after that, but she was not very hungry. Cecil, who tended to be pretty direct, picked up the conversation they had left off. "So Zara, you're going to either

Ever since Zara came back home three years ago, she had been nothing but kind to Cheryl. However, today, she just could not take it anymore. For the first time, she got really mad."Don't you know Mom has a bad heart? Don't you know she can't handle big shocks? Don't you know why she's in the hospital right now? Didn't I tell you we should wait until Mom got better to talk about Dad's matter? "Why did you come here in such a panic to spill the beans? What were you thinking?"Cheryl just laughed icily. "Sure, you said all that. But why should I listen to you?"Zara was so upset she slapped Cheryl right on her cheek!Sharon was the line nobody could cross for Zara. She would not let anyone hurt her, not even her own sister!"Why should you listen? Are you even making sense? Mom could have a heart attack any second if she gets upset. Do you want something bad to happen to her? "Why should you listen? I'll tell you why. I'm the one who paid for Mom's hospital bills, her surgery, a

Zara stumbled back, crashed into a trash can, and fell down hard."Zara!" Cecil rushed to her side to help her up, then glared at Cheryl. "You can't just say something's not true! Where's your proof?"Cheryl yanked out a few strands of her hair and tossed them to the floor. "Go ahead, get it tested! This is proof that you're not related to me!"Cecil was taken aback by Cheryl's boldness. Could it be true that Zara was not... Trevor and Sharon's real daughter?She tried to picture how Zara was feeling. Having just lost her dad and then being dropped this bombshell? Was she really adopted?"Zara..."Zara pressed her hands against the cold, hard concrete, feeling the chill seep into her skin. It jolted her awake.Her eyelashes quivered as she remembered Trevor's visit to the hospital. 'You were so little when you joined our family... Did you stay asleep because you couldn't face a world where sometimes good people don't seem to get what they deserve? I feel like I've betrayed som

Two pink lines.Shelby blinked slowly. Before taking the test, she had a feeling. Two pink lines meant she was almost certainly pregnant, given how she had been feeling lately. One line and she would try again in the morning.However, the result was clear. She was pregnant.She tossed the test into the trash and washed her hands. As she looked in the mirror, her frown deepened.Harper had always wanted kids and never bothered with protection, but she always took care of it with pills afterward... Still, no method was foolproof. Somehow, she had hit the slim chance of an accident.Staring into the mirror, Shelby studied her face. She was lucky. At 30, she still looked young with not a single wrinkle to betray her age. Maybe it was because she rarely let her emotions show.Wanting kids at her age was normal, and she was not opposed to the idea. She just wanted Harper to sign that agreement first.However, when it came down to it, the agreement had nothing to do with having kids.
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 444
"I'm not spying. I'm just curious if Harper would come pick you up. Turns out, after waiting for days, you commute alone every day. Isn't that something? Not surprisingly, that guy is just after your inheritance. He's not even willing to put on a show." Chase held his glass, tapping the rim with satisfaction.Shelby wondered what he was so pleased about. Was he happy that his ex's new partner was not as good as him? Was he glad that his ex might regret breaking up with him because her new partner was not up to his standards?It seemed like all guys had that problem, no matter who they were.Shelby grabbed the beef cubes the chef handed her, sniffed them, and took a bite when she did not feel sick. She chewed thoughtfully. "Back when we were in a relationship, you never drove me to and from work every day. "So, you think just because of that, he's after my money?""If he's not after your money, why would he marry you? There are plenty of younger, prettier women out there. You're

Chase's expression turned as frigid as ice. He wiped his fingers with a wet wipe, his voice sounding mysterious. "Shelby, you know what I'm like. I win the cases I want to win. I lock up the people I want to lock up. "I get the things I want. As for the people I want, they're always mine in the end." Shelby knew all about him.He came from a super-rich family, one of the top business families around.He was super smart—aced his exams, was a star student in law school, and then a big-deal lawyer.He was super handsome—sharp eyes, a tall nose, thin lips that always seemed to smile. With his fancy job and his family's name, he had lots of women swooning over him.Like that woman he had been with. When she got caught with him, she took all the blame to protect him. She even knelt down and slapped herself over and over, just begging not to get Chase in trouble.He had the nerve to talk big.Shelby watched him closely as he leaned on the armrest of the chair. He was basked in the c

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
