Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 583
Gorton was just as confused as everyone else.He, like the rest, was sure SAM was going to be scooped up by Azure Cloud Group.Azure Cloud Group had 35%, and Kronos had 31%—that was the difference! Kronos could not get their hands on any more shares, not the ones floating around in the market or those held by other SAM shareholders.The biggest thing was, Shawn had gotten into a car crash. Was he even still around to pull off such a stunt?How on earth did SAM end up with Rofey Group? Why did none of the Rofey Group shareholders know about such a huge deal? Was someone keeping it a secret?With Kronos in the hospital, who else could be behind that huge move? Who?The turn of events caught Gorton by complete surprise, and he just could not wrap his head around it. "Something's fishy here. What on earth did you guys do?!"Sadie replied, "Regardless of what the head of the family did, it's a fact that SAM joined Rofey Group, and it's a good thing for SAM. Why aren't you happy about

The heavy tension made everyone freeze, and the room was so quiet they could hear a pin drop.Gordon was propped up, but his face was still pale as a ghost.Just when one problem seemed to end, another popped up. He had not sorted out SAM, and then Shawn had 'risen from the ashes,' blowing all his plans to smithereens. He even felt like Shawn had played him for a fool!In a flash, a wave of shock, anger, and frustration hit him hard. He just could not swallow the bitter pill of defeat. He marched right up to Shawn and blurted out, "Kronos, what in the world did you do?"How on earth did he take over SAM? How did he get out of that ambush without a scratch? How did he survive a car explosion like it was nothing?Sadie stepped in with a warning tone, "Mr. Gorton, you shouldn't talk to the family head like that."Gorton might have been older, but Shawn was the boss of the Rofey family. He had to show respect, or else Shawn could lay down the law!When things looked like they were g

Hilary was as dazzling as ever in her diamond-studded dress that sparkled in the light, which made her look stunningly beautiful. She took such good care of herself that she seemed to be only 40. When she stood with Shawn, one might mistake them for brother and sister.Shawn had his mother's looks, with both of them sharing a certain resemblance. However, Hilary's eyes had a special twinkle, and she still carried an air of allure.She pointed straight at Gorton and accused, "That's the man! He's the one who orchestrated everything!"The police approached Gorton and said, "Mr. Gorton, on the 26th of this month, last Saturday, there was a brutal attack in the Danube Woods. Six gunmen shot at Mr. Shawn Stewart. The evidence we have links you directly to these gunmen. Please come with us to the station."Gorton was in a panic as he protested, "I'm innocent! I didn't do anything like that!"However, the police handcuffed him on the spot, saying, "One of the gunmen has already confess

The shareholders got up to show Shawn out with great respect. They would not usually be that polite, but Gorton had just lost a battle, so they were being careful.Shawn was about to leave when he stopped. "I almost forgot something."He looked down, fixing his shirt sleeves calmly. "After we bring SAM into Rofey Group, we'll need someone to run it."The shareholders knew that luxury leather was a big deal for Rofey Group. Whoever got to be in charge would have a lot of power.One shareholder said quickly, "We're new to leather, so we need someone really good and trustworthy. Maybe we should choose..."Before he could suggest someone, Shawn cut in, "Amanda Gibson will do it. She's my secretary. She got SAM for us, so she's clearly got what it takes. She'll be the new director."The shareholders were surprised. " Amanda Gibson? Who's Amanda Gibson?""I've never heard of a secretary working so closely with the patriarch before."Shawn lowered his hand, his shirt sleeves peeking o

As Shawn headed to his office, he noticed Hilary was still there."Aren't you going back to Rofey Manor, Mom?" he asked.Hilary said anxiously, "I know Amanda is in your office. I need to see her."Shawn replied, "Wait a bit. After I talk to her, you can see her."Everyone thought Shawn, Zara, and Hilary had been at the hospital those last few days.However, only Hilary was there. Shawn and Zara were busy with other things, so Hilary had not seen Zara at all.Hilary really wanted to see Amanda, but Shawn had said no. "You're too quick to act. It might scare her.""How can you talk to your mother like that, you disrespectful son?!" Hilary glared at him. Shawn just said, "Please take the madam downstairs."Then, he turned and went to his office, with Sadie smiling and showing the way. "This way, Madam."Hilary, frustrated, stomped her foot and left in a huff. She drove off in her Ferrari.…Shawn walked into the office and found Zara sleeping on the couch.For the past coup

The grand Marsberg Cathedral has stood for centuries. It was built in the fifth century, they said. However, it had been fixed up and rebuilt so many times since then. The one thing that had never changed was the faith that filled it.Yosef and James were taking a stroll inside the cathedral. It was May, and the air was warm. The gardens were full of tiny flowers and plants soaking up the sun, bursting with life.Next to all that brightness, James, who was quite old, and Yosef, who was still sick, seemed a bit faded.They were not close friends, but they had a special bond that did not care about their age difference.James gazed at the man next to him, someone he had not seen in years. He seemed even more distant now. "You're not quite the same... We last met three years ago, and you were happier then. Looks like you've been through a lot since, but some things don't change—like your love for wearing black."Yosef replied calmly, "No one stays the same forever.""So, you came

James was confused. "Played us how?"Yosef's lips, pale and dry, twitched into a slight smile. "I finally get why she had to yell at you in front of everyone at the church."Without thinking, James asked, "Why?""Because yelling at you in public gets people talking. She wanted everyone to know that Rofey Group and SAM were no longer friends."They were both as clever as old foxes, and something did not sit right with them. Rofey Group had always wanted to buy SAM, so why the sudden fight? When things did not add up, there was usually a secret. It was time to dig deeper.Yosef did some digging and found out that the woman from Rofey Group had been up to something sneaky. She made a secret deal with three big banks and was quietly buying up shares of a company called SAM. He thought that was her sneaky plan, so his company, Azure Cloud Group, jumped into the race to get SAM too.However, what he did not know was that she wanted him to find out. She wanted Azure Cloud Group to joi

Zara had reserved a private room at the restaurant.James had barely sat down when the waiter started bringing out the food.Even though he had spoken highly of Zara's skills when he talked to Yosef yesterday, the company was still taken over by her. James felt he had to be a bit critical of her.James was a bit miffed when Zara ordered for him without asking what he wanted. He was ready to tell her off for being rude.However, when he saw the dishes the waiter brought out, they were all his favorites. They were exactly what he would order himself at that restaurant.Clearly, Zara had done her homework on his tastes and had everything set up just right. James found himself speechless.The waiter, in a neat shirt and vest, poured white wine into James' glass with a flourish. Zara gave a friendly gesture and a soft smile, looking way friendlier than she did at the church or the graveyard. "I heard you like to have a half glass of white wine before eating, Mr. James. I hope the wi

Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 610
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
