Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 90
Harper found nothing and was about to shut his laptop when a woman behind him spoke up, "It happened at 8:30 pm? Hmm, I think I heard that splash..."She was speaking quietly to a friend. It was a mystery how Yosef, standing a few meters away, caught her words. He swiftly turned and looked at her."What did you hear?" he asked, his voice deep and serious.The woman paused, then said with uncertainty, "At 8:30 pm, I was going back to my room on the third floor to grab something. On my way back to the party, I passed a room and heard yelling and a splash. It sounded like something, or someone, had fallen into the water..."Yosef's eyes narrowed. "Can you show me which room?"The woman nodded quickly and led Yosef to the third-floor room.Yosef did not hesitate and knocked on the door.The door swung open to reveal a man with a bruised nose and puffy cheeks. He was shocked to see Yosef. "Mr. Webb, what are you..."Yosef took a quick look at the messy room behind him. There were ch

An hour and a half ago, Zara was sitting by herself in the banquet hall, feeling more and more drowsy. She touched her forehead. Her fever had not gone down.Zara stopped trying to keep herself upright. She leaned on the table, stood up, and decided to head back to the room for some sleep.She could have taken the elevator straight to her fourth-floor room, but when she got there, she found a bunch of guys arguing in front of it. They might have been drunk or upset about something else, but they were making quite a fuss and blocking the way.With a frown, Zara chose to take the stairs.She thought she was on the third floor, so it should have been just one more flight up, but she got it wrong.The dinner party was on the second floor, not the third. When she went up one floor, she ended up on the third instead of the fourth.That one wrong floor meant she was definitely going to the wrong room.She was not too dizzy at first, but the sea breeze on the stairwell made her head spi

Zara knew Yosef too well, and she could tell he was in a really bad mood.He was furious.It was rare for Yosef to get this upset. He was so powerful that he could get whatever he wanted with just a word. There was hardly anything that could make him lose his cool. If there was any problem, he would just have someone else take care of it.This time, however, was different."Mr. Webb," Zara called out.In a flash, Yosef grabbed her wrist and yanked her from the messy bed.He pulled so hard that Zara stumbled into his chest without any resistance.He was not wearing cologne, yet he had a clean, sharp scent. It was like fresh snow on a winter's day.His scent was so overpowering that it filled her nose, making her forget any other smell. She could think only of him.Yosef's grip was so tight it almost felt like her wrist would snap. Zara winced in pain and could not help but scold him softly."Mr. Webb!"Yosef did not let go. He was determined to take her with him.Stanley sto
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 93
Zara realized he suspected her of doing something with Stanley and wanted to check!She felt so upset she could burst!Did he think she was just something he owned? That no one else could even touch her, and if they did, he had to check?He did not see her as a person at all!She was fed up!Somehow, Zara found the strength to push him off. Straightening her robe, she headed for the door.Yosef was right behind her, however, and grabbed her hand.Zara did not even think before she spun around to slap him.She missed, though.Her other hand was quickly grabbed by the man's big hand. He moved fast, pushing Zara against the wall and pinning her hands behind her.Zara would not give up. She tried to kick him. Yosef stepped in close, stopping her from moving at all."Feeling brave, are you? Trying to hit me?" Yosef glared at her, his face dark and serious.Zara was so mad her chest was rising and falling fast. She could not keep her eyes from getting red. "Yosef! You're the wors

Stefan reached out with a tissue for her.Zara sighed softly, took a deep breath, and said, "Sorry." She wiped away her tears.Stefan kept quiet. He was a few years older and knew all about the tricky stuff that happened between men and women.He believed that getting too emotional just wore you out. Feelings could really zap your strength, so he always stayed out of the drama."I've texted Stanley to come get you," he said.Zara shook her head. "No need, it's late. I don't want to bother Professor Schmidt."Stefan looked at her and asked, "You need a place to crash tonight, right?"She did not say anything, but she knew he was right.They were on a ship, not on land. It was not like she could just find a hotel and get a room after being kicked out of 'home'. She definitely could not spend the night in Stefan's room.They were not doing anything wrong. However, if someone saw them together, they might get the wrong idea.Yosef also thought she and Stanley had gotten up to som
Mr. Webb, Make Your Move! Chapter 95
Zara had never imagined things with Yosef would end so badly.He had given her away. No matter how it happened, it was done.The danger that had been hanging over her head, like the Sword of Damocles, had finally struck.Maybe it was for the best.Yosef had shattered those memories she had always held onto.Zara set the hairpin on the nightstand. It was too precious to keep. She would return it tomorrow so that he would not have another reason to bother her.She was feeling sore all over. She pushed herself up and flicked on the bedside lamp. She carefully straightened up and folded Stanley's jacket, placing it neatly on the couch.Then, she climbed back into bed, tugged the covers up to her chin, and curled into a ball beneath the warm blanket.Exhausted in every way, she quickly drifted off to sleep, though her rest was fitful and uneasy.Her unease was not just emotional; her body was rebelling too.She would not have thrown up on Stanley if she had been feeling better.A

Zara squeezed her eyes shut. She was feeling puzzled over the silly mistake she made just because she was sick.She pondered for a second before asking the attendant, "Could I borrow some clothes from you? Anything will do."She could not let Stanley see her with no clothes on.The attendant paused. "Would my uniform work?""That's perfect.""Give me ten minutes. I'll go grab it.""Thanks a lot."After the attendant stepped out of the bathroom, she also closed the bedroom door behind her.Zara did not shower. She just dampened a washcloth, wiped off, slipped into a robe, and came out.Her head spun, and she tripped on the bathmat. She was sent tumbling toward the bed.Before she could pick herself up, Yosef burst in.Being sick had turned everything upside down.…Zara would not bother explaining anything to Yosef. If he disliked her, it was for the best. It would make quitting her job that much simpler.She spent the night half-asleep. The next morning, she was still diz

Zara knew he meant well. Since she saw him as a friend, she did not hide anything. She said with honesty, "Professor Schmidt, you don't have to worry. We aren't doing anything illegal."I made a promise to Mr. Schmidt that if he could rescue me, I'd work at the Schmidts for five years. I'd sign a labor contract with him. With my skills, I'm sure I can bring in as much profit as the old city district project."The Schmidts had offered her a job too.Before, Zara had been feeling torn over two companies. One was Chavez Capital, and the other was the Schmidts.After weighing her options, she felt Chavez Capital was a better fit for her, so she had not reached out to the Schmidts.Yesterday, she was left with no other choice, so she had to offer herself as a bargaining chip in her negotiations with Stefan.Stefan thought it over and accepted her offer.He had one condition, however. At Schmidt Group, she would only get a basic salary for five years, with no commissions or bonuses.

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
