Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 591
James paused. "She's Kronos' fiancée, the future head lady of the Rofey family.""Did she tell you that herself?""No...""Then why do you say she is?!"James, who was quite old, jumped at Yosef's loud voice. He was puzzled by his sudden anger. "Her secretary mentioned it, and she didn't correct him. Plus, she's heading to Parnova with Kronos right after our meal. Isn't that proof enough?"Yosef gripped his tablet so tightly his knuckles turned white, and his face suddenly went as cold and pale.James wanted to ask what was wrong. "You..."However, Yosef just stood up and stormed out. Something was clearly not right.James called after him, "Where are you headed?""Home.""Now? But you're not supposed to leave until tomorrow!"All James heard in reply was the door slamming shut. He was left wondering what was going on with Yosef. Was he mad? Panicked?It was like he was a husband who had lost his wife and was in a hurry to find her....Yosef stormed out of the hotel and

The two stood close, one tall and one shorter. They made a perfect pair. They wore similar styles and were both dressed in blue. The woman had on a beret and a mask, the brim pulled down to show only her eyes.She turned to the man and said something, and he leaned in to listen. His hand naturally brushed her hair from under her coat, the black strands twirling around his pale fingers.She did not seem to mind his touch, as if it was the most natural thing.Yosef's mind raced back to the last holiday in Westwood, when he had walked hand in hand with her through the streets in the biting winter wind. He had fixed her scarf and gently tugged her hair free just as naturally.She had looked up at him, her smile making her eyes twinkle.A lump formed in Yosef's throat. He stepped forward, then stopped himself.He could not, he just could not.This was not the time.In no time at all, the group was on the plane, but Yosef did not go any further.Charvi hurried over and asked, "Mr. W

Yosef's eyes fluttered open to a darkened room, the moon hidden behind heavy clouds. As he woke up, he began to feel his body again. He tried to touch his sore side but accidentally pulled on the IV in his hand.Ophite, who was sitting close by, noticed it first. "Yosef, you're awake at last."The others, lounging on the couch, got up and came over. Charvi, Harper, Yaxley, and Stefan were all there."How are you feeling? Need me to get the doctor?" Ophite asked.Yosef shook his head, his voice scratchy. "I'm okay.""You were nearly not okay," Ophite said, a bit upset. "You're not looking after yourself. Charvi told us you were coughing all the way from Marsberg, and you even flew back in economy. Why do you have to be so tough on yourself?"Yosef did not answer and just closed his eyes for a moment. He tried to sit up. Yaxley, standing by the bed, helped by raising the bed so that Yosef could lean back comfortably."Thanks," Yosef murmured."Don't mention it," Yaxley replied

Harper felt like he had stepped out and come back to a game of charades.Yosef nonchalantly passed the contract with Alsa over to Ophite.Ophite browsed through it quickly, raising his eyebrows in surprise. "This project's a big one, at least three years to finish. With this, Four Prosperity Group will be back on track in no time. "Think of Four Prosperity Group as a young plant—it's just starting to grow roots and shoots."Yosef's expression turned frosty, almost unreadable. "Four Prosperity Group has to do more than just grow. We need to flower and bear fruit."Then, they would wait for her to harvest....Stefan and Yaxley stepped out of the hospital together.The May night breeze in Starville was refreshing, yet the hospital buzzed with activity around the clock.They waited by the curb for their driver to pull up.Across the street, shops blinked with neon lights, painting them in a mix of colors. Between the two of them, one looked stern and proper while the other loo

Shelby paused for a moment but firmly got up from Harper's embrace.Harper knew better than to hold her too tight. The moment she squirmed, he let go.She moved to another couch and said calmly, "As you can see, I've been eating well every day and the baby's already five months along. It's healthy at every check-up. So, you don't need to tell me how to live my life."Harper watched her face.She was fresh from a bath, her face clean and glowing with a soft light in the glow of the floor lamp.He took a deep breath and smiled slightly. "Let me tell you a story. When God made a woman named Shelby, He poured in a whole tub of something called 'intelligence' all at once. "Then, when He was about to add emotional intelligence, He realized the container was already full. It was too bad as He couldn't add any."So, Shelby was born with no emotional intelligence. I'm not lecturing you. I'm just worried about you."Shelby's face was blank. "Thanks for your concern, but it's five months

Shelby shoved him away. People who were used to being in charge did not like being held back, and it just so happened that Harper was a leader-type too. They were like magnets with the same pole, pushing each other away.She slipped on her oven mitts, grabbed the pasta from the microwave, and took it to the living room to eat.Harper was a master at playing his cards right.He did not think Shelby was avoiding his food or trying to draw a line between them. No, he figured she was just super hungry and could not wait.After scratching his chin, he opened the fridge, looked around, and grabbed a couple of eggs.Shelby did not bother watching what he was up to in the kitchen. She kept eating and scrolling through case files on her phone. However, soon, Harper added two perfectly fried eggs to her plate of pasta."Sprinkled with a bit of rose salt. Not bad, right?"She had not tasted it yet, but the eggs looked great with the whites cooked just right and the yolks still runny. They

His kisses were gentle yet full of longing, moving from her lips to her chin and then down to her neck.Shelby was dressed in a spaghetti strap nightgown with a light, sheer robe on top. Harper playfully bit the buckle that adjusted the straps and tugged it down.For some reason, Shelby pictured a little dog bouncing around, eager to please its owner, on top of him.It had been half a year since they had been intimate.They had their arguments, and her early pregnancy made things difficult. At this moment, however, they were both feeling affectionate. Clothes that should drop did, and feelings that should stir did.Just then, the doorbell rang out of the blue.Harper's face showed his frustration and desire. He did not want to be disturbed and kept nibbling at her, wanting more.Shelby, not as bold as him, thought it must be the food delivery and pushed him away. "It's your meal."Harper looked up from her chest, his eyes tinged with passion and desire. "Can we continue after w

Did Harper not want to get married? How could he just call Shelby 'honey' like it was nothing? Was he being serious or just teasing her?She also realized that in the short time they had been together, she always seemed to be caught off guard, which was embarrassing—especially since she was quite a few years older than him.She had not felt that way when they got their marriage certificate at the county clerk's office earlier, but in the cramped bathroom, Harper's presence felt overwhelming. Maybe it was because he was so tall?She exhaled silently, trying to regain her usual poise. "I'm just wiping off. I've got a bit of a fever.""Fever?" Harper stepped into the bathroom. It was not a small room, but with him there, it felt like there was hardly any air. Shelby held her breath."You need to wipe your back to help with a fever, and you can't reach. I'll do it for you."He did not wait for her to agree. He took her towel, ran it under water, wrung it out, and slipped it under her

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
