Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 443
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.

"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 hung up and was about to head out when a voice called from behind, "Harper." He did not want to show any weakness, so he pushed down his frustration and turned to see his mom. With a lazy greeting, he faced her. Wrenley Tacker was upset. "Your grandma hasn't finished talking. Where are you off to?" Harper, in his black hoodie with hands in his pockets, looked relaxed but sounded a bit tense. "Dinner's done. You all can keep Grandma company. I don't need to be here." Wrenley was irritated. "Those two chippies and their bastards are with her now. If you leave, it'll worsen her impression of you. Your grandma and dad already prefer them over you!" The Young family was complicated, with one wife and two other women. The 'other women' were the mothers of Harper's brothers, each with a son of her own. It was an odd situation. Gilbert Young had married Wrenley for business, and he always favored the women he chose himself over his arranged wife. That made sense to Harper.Even hi

"Shelby, you're a lawyer. You should know better than to say things that could get you in legal trouble," Chase said in a calm, measured tone."You were drunk and had vomited all over yourself. I didn't know where you lived, and your law firm was closed. I had no choice but to bring you to a hotel to rest. I didn't do anything wrong. I even had the hotel staff change your clothes. I followed all the rules."Shelby was furious. "I wasn't drunk at all! You're the one who drugged me!"Chase replied, "A drunk person never admits they're drunk."Shelby checked herself, and there was no sign that anything had happened to her.She calmed down quickly. In just a few moments, she realized Chase had planned everything!He had not assaulted her, and the drug he had put in her drink was already gone from her system. Even a blood test would not show anything. Whether she called the police or filed a lawsuit, there was no evidence against him. He would not face any real punishment.That was

Shelby's slap landed with a thud, leaving a bright red mark on Harper's pale, handsome face. He touched his cheek, more shocked than he was hurt. "You hit me for him?!"Shelby's fingers curled into a fist as she glared at Chase. "Beat it, and don't let me catch you in Starville again!" she snapped.Chase did not argue. He could leave right now. He had done what he came to do and was willing to step aside.He picked himself up and fixed his bathrobe. "Don't forget what I said, Shelby."The moment Harper heard Chase say Shelby's name, something fierce inside him woke up."Don't let me catch you in Starville again"? He was not someone to let things slide. He had already warned Chase once. If Chase dared to come to Starville and mess with his wife again, Harper would not let him walk away without a scratch.At that moment, Harper was already figuring out which of Chase's arms he would chop off.Shelby turned to go into the bedroom, but Harper caught her arm and pinned her against

The ambulance took Shelby to the hospital's emergency room. At her request, they did a pregnancy test, which confirmed she was expecting.Thankfully, both Shelby and the baby were okay. She could leave the hospital after resting a bit.Feeling too weak to walk, she scrolled through her phone and finally decided to call her friend, Zara, for help."Zara, I've confirmed that I'm pregnant."Zara's voice was a bit scratchy. "...So, what do you think? Are you going to keep the baby?" She remembered Shelby had been taking pills to prevent pregnancy."I'm keeping it," Shelby said without a second thought.Her situation with Harper was special, but this baby was hers. It was the only thing in the whole world that shared her blood. With this baby, she would not be alone anymore.Ever since her parents died, she felt lonely all the time."Zara, can you come over tonight?"Usually, Zara would say yes, but...She whispered, "I'll ask Cecil to go over instead.""What's wrong?""I'm at t
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 450
The moment their eyes locked, everything else faded away. The wind seemed to hold its breath, the children's laughter receded into the distance, and the world around them fell into a hush.Zara could only hear the words she had once said to Shawn echoing in her mind, 'Shawn, if you walk away this time, I won't follow you anymore.'"Zara!" he shouted.Her throat felt tight, as if someone was squeezing it. It took her a long time to finally whisper, "...Shawn."He was back.A lot happened tonight. Shelby found out she was pregnant by surprise, Harper caught a couple cheating, Zara discovered she was not her parents' real daughter, and Shawn showed up out of the blue.Then, there was Yosef, who met with Ophite at West Palace to talk about a secret from the past."You were always heading to Westwood. I went to Azure Cloud Group to find you, and Ms. Zelly told me you were 'inspecting' Westwood... What inspection? "You were just trying to win over Ms. Lowry, right? And you even got

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
