Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 527
Wilder was caught off guard and stumbled in as Zara pulled him!Zara quickly pressed the button to close the elevator doors, and they shut firmly behind him. Wilder was left looking stunned.With a curious heart and no time for him to think, Zara stepped closer. She narrowed the space between them.Zara's hair fluttered in the air as if dancing when they suddenly got close. Wilder, for the first time ever, felt a rush of panic and quickly stepped back until he bumped into the elevator wall. He looked down at her, and she gazed up at him. She was stunning, with soft eyebrows and light lips. Her bare skin was so clear and bright. Her features were not perfect, but together, they were just right. Her eyes were the best part—sharp and clear, oh-so captivating. It was April in Starville, and the days were getting warmer. Zara was wearing a simple white sweater that showed off her graceful neck. Her skin was so delicate that you could see the blue veins, almost as if they would brea

Zara had expected Yosef to procrastinate when it came to taking her to the hospital to help her mother with bathing and changing clothes. She had mentally prepared herself to argue with him if necessary.However, the next morning during breakfast, Yosef surprised her by suggesting that they go to the hospital after work in the evening. That unexpected prompt left Zara's rehearsed lines stuck in her throat.She managed only a hesitant hum.Yosef could clearly sense Zara's thoughts and chuckled. "I'm not as unreliable as you think."To that, Zara replied, "Truly noble individuals don't constantly emphasize their nobility. It's those who lack something who feel the need to overemphasize their qualities."Yosef glanced up at her.He said slowly, "You used to only snap back at me when you were sick and not feeling well. Now, you snap back no matter what I say. Wow, you've really gotten more temperamental."Suddenly, Zara remembered Shelby mentioning that after becoming pregnant, many

A nurse came with water and a towel, offering to help. Zara thanked her but said, "I can manage on my own."The nurse glanced at Yosef for approval. He nodded, and the nurse stepped out.While unfastening the buttons on Sharon's gown, Zara spoke without emotion, "Mr. Webb, please look away."Yosef hesitated briefly before stepping outside. No sooner had he left than his phone rang. It was Wilder."Hey, Yosef. I visited Lukas at the detention center today to talk about that matter."Yosef glanced back at Zara, who was busy helping Sharon clean up. He then moved to the hallway window. "Yeah, and?"As Yosef moved away, Zara quickly stopped tending to Sharon and dashed to the door, trying to figure out the lock code.She tried everything she could think of that mattered to Yosef—his birthday, her birthday, even the anniversary of Azure Cloud Group. However, the door would not budge.Not knowing how much time she had before Yosef returned, Zara kept trying. Luckily, the door did not

Yosef saw it was Wilder calling again and picked up. "Wilder, what's going on?""Ah? Yosef? Did I call you? My phone was in my pocket, and I must've hit redial by accident.""Okay."Yosef ended the call. In the brief moment as he looked back at Zara, the nurse put on an apologetic face, like someone who was in a tough spot but could not talk back. "We'll be more careful from now on. We won't play around in public places again... Miss, what can we do to make things right?" Yosef gave Zara's fingers a gentle squeeze, telling her to drop it. Zara, having let off steam, turned away with a huff. "Just watch it next time. If you run into an old person or someone expecting a baby, then what? Off you go." The nurses left quickly, grumbling to themselves, "Our luck's run out. Does she really need to be like that? "Maybe she's got her own troubles." Zara overheard them. "Hey, you..." Yosef pulled her back, half-smiling. "People are already staring. Keep it up and you'll end up o

They both spun around to see Yaxley, all dressed up, approaching them. "Visiting a friend at the hospital and I bump into you two. Talk about destiny."Yosef did not feel like calling him out on whether it was destiny or just spying. "Haven't left Starville yet, Mr. Lark? Don't you have a company to run?"Yaxley chuckled. "Heading back to Sylverton tomorrow. That's why it's such a lucky break to see you and Ms. Lowry before I go. Have you guys eaten? How about joining me for dinner?"Zara knew he was partly to blame for Trevor's death. Her eyes, once friendly in Westwood, were then frosty when she looked at him.Yaxley noticed her chilly stare and grinned. "Ms. Lowry, why the cold look? It's not about Henrik's jump, is it?"He looked at their hands together and said, "You're not even upset with Mr. Webb anymore. Can't you forgive me just this once? I didn't mean to do it."It seemed to him that if she could forgive Yosef for even more, she could surely forgive her.Zara's mind f

Zara could not stop herself and gagged over and over again. The fishy smell would not leave her nose, and she pushed the raw fish slices away from her.Yosef might have thought she was just pretending, and that would be a smart guess since moms-to-be really are sensitive to fishy smells.He put his arm around Zara, gave her water, and told the server, "Get rid of this food!"Yaxley, seeing her look really sick, also urged the server, "Hurry, take it away."The server cleared the dishes quickly, but Zara still felt the room was full of that awful smell. She could not take it and stood up fast. "I need the restroom!"Yosef frowned. "Charvi, go with her and help her.""Alright," Charvi said, following Zara.Zara had to keep up her act, so once out of the room, she could not let on she was sick. She bit her lip, fought the urge to be sick, and did not let Charvi see. She rushed into the restroom and locked herself in a stall.Then, she covered her mouth and threw up quietly again a

Yosef turned to him, and Yaxley grinned. "If she ends up in jail, Ms. Lowry won't be causing any waves. Heck, whether she makes it out at all would be a roll of the dice. That way, he's off the hook, nice and clean."Yosef's eyes were as cold and empty as a winter stream in the farthest north. "Evidence against Zara?"Yaxley nodded. "I'm not sure what it is, but he talked like it was the real deal. Guess we'd have to ask Ms. Lowry herself if she's done something she shouldn't have, something messy enough to get caught."Without a word, a chill seemed to settle over Yosef's already frosty expression.Zara walked back into the private room to find the table set with a new spread of delicious-looking dishes. They stayed and enjoyed their meal until it was quite late.Leaving West Palace, Yaxley quietly slipped behind Zara and secretly put something hard and card-like into her hand.Zara quickly glanced down, but the hallway lights were too dim to make out what it was. She looked up

Yosef noticed her fright and said softly, "I'm just curious."Zara had indeed been startled by his abrupt question. She held her breath. "I didn't check. It was too dark, and the room was too dim. I couldn't see anything. "And then, when Lukas and the others sensed trouble and were about to enter, I had to jump out the window and run. There was no time."She quickly asked, "Is he dead?" The thought crossed her mind... Did she kill someone?Yosef was pondering Yaxley's words. He knew Zara would not harm anyone without cause. The only time she had was during that kidnapping when she had struck someone. Coincidentally, that person had never been found. That was why the thought occurred to him."It's nothing," he said.Zara gripped her blanket tightly, thinking hard. Finally, she said with certainty, "No, Eric isn't dead. If he were, Lukas would've told everyone about my part in the murder to get his own sentence cut down. However, he's kept quiet. He wouldn't protect me, would 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
