Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 554
From that day on, Zara was like a ghost. Her phone was off, and she did not answer any messages. Shelby even went to the East Coast to find Yosef, but he was nowhere to be seen.The housekeeper said she was sick and in the hospital. Shelby called the police, but they could not help her.All Shelby could do was ask her friends to keep an eye out. She had a bad feeling about that. If Zara was safe, she would have gotten in touch. She knew they would be worried.Before she knew it, Thursday arrived, and it was time for Shelby and Harper's divorce hearing.Normally, there would be a pre-trial mediation. It was just a simple step. As long as Shelby refused to settle and insisted on the divorce, the mediator would not have much to say. Then, they could go straight to the hearing.However, Harper showed up late and told the mediator to leave. "I'll talk to my own wife. You're not needed."The mediator left, feeling awkward and unsure.Shelby said calmly, "If you agree to the divorce be

Harper stepped out of the courthouse, and his phone buzzed. It was Ophite on the line."Did I hear right that you and Ms. Lambert are splitting up today?" Ophite always checked in like a big brother, curious about everything going on.Harper answered with a yawn, "Nope, we're sticking together. We've got a kid, and there's no point in splitting up now. We'll just make the best of things.""Is Ms. Lambert the one making the best of it, or is it you?" Ophite asked.Harper chuckled. "She's the one. I like her so much it's crazy."Ophite's tone turned serious. "I'm off to see Yosef at the hospital."Harper paused. "I'll come too."Yosef had been in the hospital for nearly a week since he passed out and was rushed there.His hand and wrist were cut pretty badly, but after some stitches and medicine, he was doing okay.The real worry was a small lump they found in his lungs because he kept coughing. That needed some serious looking after.When Ophite and Harper got there, Yosef was

He coughed so much that he felt a dull pain in his lungs and leaned back on his bed, tired. The sun was setting, and as the light moved west, the evening made his thin face look even more sunken. His eyes looked dark and endless. "A sea burial is another way to say goodbye. No need to bury just a few clothes," he said, his voice rough. "But we should have a place to remember her during holidays and festivals. We can't let her wander out at sea, can we?" Ophite asked. Yosef looked at him. "You still believe in that stuff?" Ophite smiled a little. "If it's someone you care about, you'd rather believe than not." That was how it was when someone passed away. It did not take much work or money, so it was worth it for some peace of mind.However, Yosef did not care. He would not even do the easiest thing, and his refusal made Ophite run out of things to say. "I just hope you won't wake up in the middle of the night, unable to breathe and with a pain in your chest," Ophite said,

In the world of business, people came together for profit. Yosef had left the hospital just to meet with the vice president of Chavez Corporation, clearly looking for a beneficial deal. Over a meal, they quickly agreed on a project and shook hands after signing the papers. Then, the vice president glanced at Charvi and seemed to ponder something. "Didn't you have a secretary named Zara, Mr. Webb?" he asked. Charvi was taken aback, shocked that Zara would come up in such an unexpected way. Yosef knew exactly why he was being asked and answered smoothly, "Yes, she was close to joining Chavez Corporation as your secretary. It's surprising you remember her after all this time."Zara had just left her job at Azure Cloud Group and was job hunting when she thought about working for Chavez. She had almost signed the work contract.The vice president chuckled. "It's hard to find good people, so of course, we remember them. She's not with Azure Cloud Group anymore, right?"Yosef glanced

The woman with the fox-like eyes looked at Yosef, full of hope.She was sure he would say yes. After the trouble at his wedding, he was down on his luck, and they said a woman's care was the best cure for a man's heartache. She had been so sweet and obedient. He would definitely accept her!However, a second later, she saw a sneer on Yosef's face.She opened her mouth to say something, but Yosef challenged her, "What makes you think that just because my wedding was a bust, I'd be interested in you?"The woman was taken aback.For the first time in days, Yosef showed a hint of scorn. "If I want company, I have plenty of options. What makes you so special? You think you can take her place by copying her story? Do you really think you're up to par?"She was in debt and forced to fend for herself. She found herself in danger and was nearly assaulted when he showed up. He was her unexpected savior... If it had been raining, that moment would have mirrored the night he met Zara.Yos

No surprise, there was no response. Shawn opened the door himself.The room's window was shut tight, with only the air conditioner running to keep the air fresh without letting in the damp sea breeze that might disturb the person resting on the bed.She had been in a deep sleep, not opening her eyes for the past half-month due to serious injuries and excessive blood loss. Even after receiving many transfusions on the day she was rescued, her face remained ghostly white.Shawn arrived just as the last drop of her current IV bag fell. He carefully removed the needle and attached it to the new bottle of medicine he had brought. He set the drip rate to continue feeding her body the energy it needed to survive.A maid was about to wipe her face and hands, but Shawn gestured that he would take care of it. The maid quietly left the room.He dipped a clean towel in warm water, wrung it out, and gently dabbed at Zara's pallid, still-beautiful face with its delicate, sculpted nose.Old fol

Shawn finished wiping the bedside table, turned on a lamp that glowed softly, and picked up a storybook. He flipped it open and started reading out loud.The doctor had said that talking to Zara could help her wake up. Shawn had talked about everything he could think of already, so he started reading her stories.Nord, who worked for Shawn, brought in dinner and looked at Zara lying there. He asked carefully, "Mr. Stewart, do you think she'll ever wake up?"Shawn stopped for a second, then said quietly, "Yes, she will."It had been two weeks. Nord bit his lip. "I remember when she caught me taking her photos in Aquaville. She was doing so well."Shawn got lost in thought for a moment, then looked down and turned another page. "She'll get better. You'll see."Nord felt really bad. "When she wakes up, I'll tell her I'm sorry. I let her down. I couldn't save Mrs. Lowry."Shawn just gestured for him to go, and Nord left. Shawn gently pushed Zara's hair back and touched her face."P

Sadie nodded. "So that's why Stefan has been hanging out with Yosef's cousin a lot lately. Looks like their families are thinking about tying the knot."Shawn glanced at his tablet, and Yosef's face popped up on the screen, looking a bit frosty.A reporter asked Yosef, "Mr. Webb, could you tell us what are your hopes for Four Prosperity Group?"Yosef's voice was deep and clear, without a hint of feeling. It was as if he was always keeping his distance. "Hopes?"At just that word, Zara's eyelashes fluttered. She started breathing fast.Shawn saw it that time and quickly set the tablet aside to take her hand. "Zara?" he whispered.Was she coming around?Yosef's voice kept going, reaching Zara's ears with every word."I've put money and hard work into it, so of course, I want it to do well, to grow, to hit the stock market big time, to make it to the world's top companies, and for it to be a giant in the economy."The reporters chuckled. "Mr. Webb, you seem to be in a great mood

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
