Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 570
Shawn looked into her clear eyes and said, "My mother wants to meet you."Zara asked, "Why? I don't know your mother, do I?""You haven't met her, but she saw you when you were a baby and has always remembered you."Wayne had said the Stewart and Gibson families were old friends, and the ladies were close too. It made sense that Shawn's mother would remember her friend's daughter."Once you're better, let's go see her." Zara wanted to ask about her real parents."Alright."For the next few days, Zara did not practice horseback riding or archery with Shawn. They focused on business lessons in the study, which became their new classroom.Zara was deep in thought about the topic Shawn was talking about when Sadie tapped on the door. She glanced up and saw Sadie give her a nod before calling out, "Mr. Stewart, you have a phone call."Shawn stood up and stepped out. When he came back after a bit, he found Zara resting her head on the desk.It was probably too late into the night no

Shawn gave her a look, and Sadie clammed up, lowering her head.Shawn said calmly, "She has to succeed."…Zara pored over the files until well past midnight, finally getting a handle on the basics of SAM's business.She could not help but feel that Shawn had not made it easy for her at all. This challenge was incredibly tough.SAM made their mark with handcrafted leather goods—wallets, tote bags, suitcases, and shoes. They managed to carve out their niche in the world of luxury brands.Rofey Group had seen better days. Right now, they were teetering on the edge of the market. They just needed the luxury leather goods sector to complete their empire. If they could just get SAM on board, they would leap right into the big leagues.It would be way quicker and easier than building a brand from the ground up.However, SAM was all about family. The business was handed down through the generations. The board members and the executives were all kin, and they did not take kindly to out

One of the men in the suit stared at Zara and was totally confused by her sudden question. "Who are you?"Zara said, "I'm from Rofey Group."The man in the suit got really mad, like a cat that had its tail stepped on. He jumped up and yelled, "We'll never say yes to you taking over! You're just a bunch of robbers!"Zara kept her cool. "I'm here to talk to James today, not to make SAM say yes to a takeover. I just want to talk. Maybe we can find a way that works for both of us and agree on something. That way, SAM's big problem might just go away."The two men in suits looked at each other. They did not like Rofey Group but were also interested in what Zara had said.Zara said calmly, "Instead of sitting here every day, hoping God will come to save SAM, we should go see James. We'd have a better chance with him."The man in the suit only agreed to lead Zara to James after he saw the Rofey family's crest on their car. That was when he knew they were telling the truth about who they

Outside the church, Sadie seemed like she wanted to say something but stopped herself. Zara turned to her and said, "If you want to say something, just say it."Sadie made a face. "Miss, you're too straightforward when you talk."Zara answered, "With stubborn old-school types, being nice and logical won't work. You've got to shake them up a bit.""And if he doesn't get shaken up?"Sadie had never seen anyone negotiate like that. "Making him mad could make buying his company harder later. I thought you were going to have a nice talk with James today.""Do you think I made a mistake?"Sadie hesitated. "I wouldn't say that."Zara grinned. "I'm not your boss, and you're not my employee. You can speak freely. What do you really think?"Sadie bit her lip. "James is just so stubborn. The things you said, Rofey Group already tried to tell him nicely before but he never budged."If Zara thought acting like she was in a TV show by charging in and yelling to show off her unique personali

Back at the manor, Zara was in her study talking to Sadie, "Get me an updated list of SAM's shareholders. Just because James won't budge doesn't mean the others won't."Sadie was catching on to Zara's sneaky ways. "You want to buy up shares from the smaller shareholders. If we get 18%, we'll be the top dog at SAM."If they did that, Zara could easily merge SAM with Rofey Group and avoid two big problems. One, she would not start a price war with Wadsworth Company. Two, she would not ruin SAM's good name.It was like getting a big prize without paying a dime! Zara was not using her own money. She borrowed it using Shawn's name and promised that Rofey Group would pay it back once they owned SAM. No wonder she said Shawn would not have to pay anything.Sadie might not get why Zara had made James mad on purpose, but she had to admit that Zara's next moves were pretty slick. "Alright, I'll get the list," Sadie said without a second thought.Zara was on a roll. She stayed up all night

"How would they know something that specific?" Ophite was just making small talk, sharing a funny story without really caring about it. Then, he moved on to his next shot.Yosef swung his club a few times, but his head was not in the game.He looked up, his keen eyes narrowing in the sunlight. He blurted out. "SAM might not matter to me, but it does to Rofey Group. They wouldn't make such a scene without planning their next move... I'm done here."He handed his club to the caddy and started walking back, peeling off his gloves as he went.Ophite was a mix of frustrated and amused. Yosef said SAM did not matter to him, but he was all set to snatch it away. Even so, he claimed it was not about Shawn.…Yosef had a nose for business. After leaving the golf course, he headed straight back to the office and got Charvi and Samwell on the case.The two secretaries were very skilled. After he slipped back into his suit in the break room and stepped out, they were already there with the

The manager could not afford to take that lightly as he was responsible for that project. If he did not nail it, he would be in deep trouble!He asked anxiously, "Mr. Webb, with Rofey Group secretly grabbing up so many shares of SAM, what's our next move?"Yosef usually did not need to get involved in big company buyouts, but this time was different. Rofey Group was trying to take over, and that caught his interest."They're trying to sneak around, so let's splash their story on the front page of 'The Francoria Daily' and tip off the regulators. They're bending the law, and that's not right."That put a stop to Rofey Group's sneaky plans.They tried to play dirty tricks, so they could not complain when Yosef hit back hard."Yes, sir!"Yosef sat back with his legs crossed. He said calmly, "If James won't accept our friendly offer, then he'll have to face the tough consequences."They had just as many SAM shares as Rofey Group, all bought on the open market. It was time to see wh

Zara, of course, had a plan."First, we'll have our lawyers talk to them. SAM is suing us for a hostile takeover, claiming we broke the Securities Exchange Act and the Corporations Act. But we haven't done anything wrong."By law, we don't have to disclose if we own less than 5% of the shares. Hedging agreements are just normal business, and buying shares is simply a deal between willing parties."We've done everything by the book, and SAM can't just accuse us because they think they're the underdog. We're not taking the blame for this. We'll fight this lawsuit the right way."Sadie nodded. "Right, the lawyers are on it. SAM's lawsuit is really just a way to stall for time. Every extra day they get is another day for them to come up with a plan."That was just step one. Zara had more up her sleeve. "Now that it's out in the open, let's stop hiding. We'll buy the shares from any SAM shareholders who are willing to sell, and we'll grab up any loose shares on the market too. We'll ta

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
