Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 64
Zara kept her cool. "I heard you've got a new baby boy and that he's super cute. Any chance I could meet him?"Mr. Chapman hesitated for a while before going back to ignoring her. He got in his car and left.He was not going home. He was off to a hotel for a big industry meet-up.Zara, being the top secretary at Azure Cloud Group, could have joined in. She was not in the mood for chit-chat, however. She found a quiet corner to sit and wait.After Mr. Chapman's fancy dinner was wrapped up, she would get him to sign that extra contract.Even if she did not get his signature tonight, it was no big deal. She would be back tomorrow. He had better be ready to put up with her for four days because right after that, she would be saying goodbye to the job.Flipping through a magazine, Zara's attention snapped to a ruckus nearby.Zara got up and walked over to see the commotion. Mr. Chapman was in a heated argument with a woman.The woman did not care that they were at a fancy event. She

Zara kept her cool and asked, "What are you planning to do with her?"Mr. Chapman gave a cold laugh. "That's my business, not yours.""Doing something to her that's a crime will put me into trouble too. It definitely is my business.""I'm trying to help you out. If I'm right, you got stuck with this tough job because Mr. Webb took her side. In a way, she's been in your way. Let me take care of her, and you'll have one less person to compete with. Wouldn't that make your life easier?"Mr. Chapman talked it all out slowly, making it sound like there was no downside.Zara thought it over and nodded. "You're right, she's been a pain."Mr. Chapman squinted. "So, you're in?""I'm in. I'll call her now." Zara pulled out her phone and dialed the number. After waiting a bit, she started talking."Ms. Fischer, your old boss, Mr. Chapman, told me to bring you here under false pretenses. He said he wanted to show you something. We're at the Hilton Hotel right now. Why don't you come and se

Tonight, Yosef seemed to be taking it out on her, leaving behind several bite and pinch marks.Lost in the moment, Zara heard him whisper, "I never realized how tempting you were."She thought he was talking about Mr. Chapman, which was so ridiculous she did not even want to respond. She closed her eyes and let him have his way.The next morning, it was Zara who woke up early.Yosef was really tough on her the night before. When Zara got out of bed, she felt awful and moved slowly. Yosef got up too and gave her a quick, cold look. Without saying a word, he headed straight to the bathroom.He was fast. When Zara stepped out after having put on her makeup, he was right behind her. They left the hotel one after the other, not talking at all.Yosef's driver pulled up to get him. He climbed into the car and said, "Hold on."Zara walked out of the hotel and saw his car but chose to take a cab instead.The driver peeked at Yosef in the back seat.With no emotion on his face, Yosef sa

Yosef's face turned serious in a flash. "When did this happen?""Just last night," Zara said, still calm.Something bad had happened to Zara last night.Yosef knew the truth better than anyone else.He turned to Charmaine. "What did you see?"Charmaine's face went white. She finally realized that Zara was not kidding.Panicking, she blurted out, "Zara! What are you talking about?"Zara answered, "What do you mean? Didn't you tell everyone with such certainty about me and Mr. Chapman? You made it sound so real, with all the details, but I don't remember any of it. Our coworkers believe you, so I guess I should too."Charmaine never thought Zara would deal with it by calling the police!Starting rumors was so easy, like a snap of the fingers. It was impossible for the person involved to clear things up. Even if Zara tried to explain, some people would probably not listen.She wanted to wreck Zara's good name. She had even planned out what to say if Zara confronted her. She neve

Yesterday, the 19th floor had been abuzz with activity, crowded with Azure Cloud employees.The police reviewed the hotel's surveillance footage, which showed that Mr. Chapman and Zara had attended an event in the hotel's banquet hall the previous night. Mr. Chapman had left early, and Zara was still there when he departed. Their timelines did not align, making any rumored events between them impossible.It was Charmaine who had fabricated the rumors!Cornered yet still fighting back, Charmaine shouted, "Keep watching! Zara is definitely hiding something! She lives in Starville, but she didn't go home to sleep at night. She spent the night in the hotel. "There has got to be something fishy. Even if it's not Mr. Chapman, it's someone else!"If the footage continued to play, it would show Zara being led upstairs by Yosef.Zara's face showed no emotion. "Proving you're lying about me is all I need. Why do you care when I left the hotel?"Charmaine gritted her teeth. "You're scar
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 69
Zara got back to her desk and started working. Her coworkers came by to comfort her or to say sorry for believing Charmaine's lies too quickly.Zara told them it was no big deal.Melanie, on the other hand, did not join in. She sat at her desk with her head down. She was busy with something, and she seemed upset.She had been so eager to clear up the rumors about Zara that she had the butler get the hotel's security footage before the police could. She never expected to see Yosef in the footage. He went into the elevator with Zara. They both headed upstairs and went into a room together.Even someone as innocent as Melanie could guess what a guy and a girl alone in a hotel room might be up to.She felt like Zara had betrayed her trust.It was Zara who had introduced her to Yosef, playing matchmaker. How could Zara do this to her now, being in the same room as Yosef?Was she stealing her boyfriend?Zara did not pick up on Melanie's sour mood. After watching Ophite leave, she pro

Zara touched the hairpin and bit her lip, giving a soft hum.It seemed he had not really bought it for her. He was making a statement, showing all the big shots on the cruise just who he was and showing off the strength of Azure Cloud.To make it even simpler, she was being used by him again, as a tool to show off how important he was.Stanley looked away and took a slow sip of his cocktail.His buddy raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you like that diamond hairpin too? You were staring pretty hard."Stanley just smiled and said, "Yeah, I like it."His buddy was curious. "You really like it? Then why didn't you bid on it? That was Yosef from the Webb family, wasn't it? The Webbs are pretty powerful, especially lately. "Your family, the Schmidts from Westwood, are no slouches either. If you really wanted that hairpin, I bet you could've outbid him."Stanley just laughed. "It's okay, there's plenty of time."His friend looked at him, then over at Yosef and Zara. He seemed to get

Zara was dressed in long pants and a long-sleeved cotton pajama set. Her restless sleep had caused the buttons to come undone, revealing her collarbone.She did not seem to realize that the more she covered up, the more it made Yosef want to uncover her.Yosef seemed to be pondering something. However, after he finished his water, he just went back to his room.Zara woke up feeling cold in the middle of the night. Her blanket had fallen to the floor. She simply put on a thin shirt and tucked herself back in.Still, when she woke up the next morning, her head felt heavy.After freshening up, she felt much better.She came out of the bathroom to find Yosef already having breakfast."Do you have a first aid kit in the room, Mr. Webb?" she asked.She thought she might need some cold medicine, just to be safe."No, we don't. Ask an attendant if you need something," Yosef said, looking up at her. "Feeling seasick?"She did not want to make a fuss over nothing, so she let it go."N

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
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 603
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
