Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 466
Yosef let out a scornful laugh. "Shawn, what gives you the right to take my wife with you?"He did not stress the words 'my wife' too much, but they stood out sharply.Shawn tilted his umbrella back to show his face, his expression cool and composed. "Yosef, of all the things you've done behind Zara's back, which one actually you for the 'husband' title you so proudly claim?"Zara felt a jolt of nerves and quickly chimed in, "What things have you done?"Yosef pushed his car door open and stepped out. Charvi was right there with an umbrella for him. The rain tapped on it in a steady rhythm, like a drumbeat. He said in a heavy voice, "Zara, you're coming home with me first."Shawn's reply was tinged with sarcasm. "What's the matter? Scared she'll find out something?"Yosef's eyes were dark as ink, his gaze sharp as he shot back, "You think it's better if she knows? What can she even do with that knowledge?"Zara looked at them, puzzled. "Know what?""I'd rather know the truth tha
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 467
Zara stumbled unexpectedly, her umbrella colliding with Shawn's. Raindrops scattered from the umbrella's surface, landing in small puddles on the ground.However, soon, the steady footsteps broke through the puddles. Zara paused, lifting her head to see Shawn's bodyguards forming a semicircle in front of them.Yosef stopped in his tracks, his expression turning sour in an instant.The tension that had been building was about to explode. Shawn declared, "She won't be following you anymore."Yosef glared at the bodyguard in his way, his gaze sharp as a knife. "You think you can take her from me?"Shawn just smiled and said, "Let's see."Yosef had been itching for a fight.At his command to bring the lady back, his bodyguards appeared from the shadows and sprang into action. They faced off against Shawn's men in the pouring rain.Zara could not believe it. "What are you doing? Fighting? Right here on the street?"The rain had left the streets nearly empty, but it was not dark yet

Nord took a quick look in the rearview mirror. Shawn did not say to stop, so Nord kept his foot down and they sped along.Zara bit her lip and turned to Shawn with a fierce look. "Tell him to stop!"Suddenly, Shawn leaned in close—way too close. Everyone had a limit to how close was too close, and Shawn had crossed it. Without thinking, Zara reached into her bag, pulled out a small knife, and lashed out!However, Shawn was faster. He grabbed her hand and looked at the knife. It was a compact, foldable blade—short but deadly. Then, he looked back at Zara, his eyes steady.He was aware that the unexpected fight, the sudden kidnapping, the wild car chase, and the crash had shaken Zara up. She had reacted on instinct to protect herself. Yet, in a gentle voice, he asked, "You tried to use a knife on me?" Zara's lips were pressed together tightly. Even Nord glanced in the rearview mirror with concern. "Boss, are you okay?" Shawn's reply was calm. "I'm fine." He quickly took the knife

As memories raced through her mind, Zara let out a cold laugh. Suddenly, she blurted out, "Don't you see how ridiculous this is? You're the one who broke up with me and left for another country ten years ago. "And now, here you are, showing up out of the blue and wanting to whisk me away. What do you take me for?"Am I some pet you pick up when you're fond of it and give it away when you're not, only to claim it back whenever you feel like it?"Shawn gazed at her stiff profile and said in his usual calm voice, "I knew you still had some anger to get out. What else do you want to yell at me for? Go ahead, yell until you're done. "However, after that, no more treating me like I'm a threat."It was as if her defensive stance toward him deeply saddened him.Zara threw out one more line. "I don't like you anymore."Shawn showed no emotion. "You like Yosef?"Without hesitation, Zara answered, "Yes, I do.""What about him do you like? The way he's used you like a tool for the past
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 470
That night, Shawn held Zara close as they stepped out. He took off his coat and gently placed it over her shoulders. Fixing her collar, he whispered, "What's got you drinking so much? Something on your mind?"She was too far gone, so she was leaning against him and humming softly. She was lost in her own little world. Shawn had never seen her like that before and could not bear to leave her by herself, so he decided to take her to a hotel for the night.At the hotel, they needed to check in with their details. Shawn steadied her and asked, "Got your ID on you?"She responded with a sing-songy, "Mhm!""Your ID," Shawn repeated, a mix of patience and laughter in his voice."Mhm!""Your ID, you silly goose," he said with a chuckle.Then, she remembered, "Oh, it's in my pocket!"While Shawn searched her pocket for the ID, Zara gazed up at him, squinting. It took her a blurry moment to recognize him. "Shawn?"He looked down at her. "Yeah?"She gave a wry, disbelieving smile. "Shaw
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 471
The helicopter's giant blades whipped up a wind that nearly swept the grass flat. Shawn's umbrella was long gone, and his suit jacket billowed in the gusts.He gazed at Zara with a steady eye. "Zara, are you coming with me or not?"In just a few heartbeats, Zara's mind raced with questions. Should she leave or stay? Who was more trustworthy, Yosef or Shawn? Could she keep investigating if she stayed? Would she find out the truth if she left?She thought of Yosef slipping the wedding ring on her finger and of Shawn always being there to protect her when they were younger. She remembered Yosef's words, 'I want you,' on the day they were officially married, as well as of the image of Shawn walking away no matter how much she wanted him to stay...Zara's breath came in short gasps. The rainwater stung her nose, and she felt a wave of panic like she was drowning.The door of the helicopter swung open, and Sadie leaned out, yelling, "Boss!"Nord called back, "Lower the ladder!"Sadi

Two or three seconds later, Yosef let go of Nord's neck and turned to get back in the car.He would not hang around there wasting time with him. Wilder had a bunch of tricks up his sleeve to get him talking, and he hoped the guy would still be as tough after a few hours.With a lazy wave of his hand, Wilder had his guys tie Nord up by his hands and feet. After taping his mouth shut, he was tossed into the trunk of a car.After drying off his face and hair with a towel handed to him by one of his crew, Wilder climbed into the sleek Maybach. "Yosef, what's our next move?"Yosef's eyes were sharp, the raindrops on his eyelids like blades. He peeked outside at the stormy weather, lightning and thunder cutting through the sky. It was so bad they should not be flying.However, Shawn knew the longer they stayed in Starville, the more likely he would be caught. He would probably risk it and fly anyway.Yosef's voice was deep and serious. "Charvi, get Ophite on the line. He's got friends

The helicopter was cramped, and Zara was so cold she kept sneezing.Shawn got Sadie to bring a blanket and put it over Zara. "We don't have extra clothes, but hang in there. We'll be there soon."Zara looked up, her face clean and clear from the rain, shining like polished stone. "Are we just going to leave? What about your guy?"Shawn pushed her hair back and whispered, "Yosef won't hurt him. My dad will talk things out with him, and Nord can get away by himself."Zara pulled the blanket closer, feeling icy cold. She looked out the window. It was dark. Starville was just a shadow, and it was hard to see anything.She thought they were heading to a house, but they ended up at a dock. They left the helicopter and got onto a private yacht.The pouring rain whipped up fierce winds over the ocean, making the waves crash against the shore again and again. The huge ship at the dock was like a grand castle that could move, standing tall and steady.Shawn helped her onto the yacht and i

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
