Standing before love The stalker
Heather’s car sped throughout the entire journey. Since she had never been treated like this by Robert before, she directed all her rage at her car.Meanwhile, Blake’s heart leaped in his throat for her as he followed behind Heather’s car. Considering how fast her car was going, it would be strange if Heather didn’t get into an accident. He kept praying that nothing would happen to Heather, for Robert would certainly blame him if she got into one.However, even if Heather didn’t care for her life while she was on the road, Blake still wanted to live to see tomorrow. Soon, he ended up lagging behind and eventually lost sight of her.Blake thought that Heather must have returned to the Langston Residence, so he took a nearby shortcut and rushed over there. However, when he reached his destination, he saw no trace of her car. After waiting for her inside the house, there was still no sign of Heather even when Robert arrived. The first thing Robert asked was Heather’s whereabouts.Blake l

As Leon chatted with her, Heather fell asleep. He called her a few times, but she didn’t answer. Nonetheless, he couldn’t bring himself to end the video call as he watched her sleeping visage. He even put aside his mobile game, opting to watch Heather instead.Now that he thought about it, it was a nice thing to be able to just go nuts with Heather; the corners of Leon’s lips soon lifted into a wide smile. In truth, Leon had been the crazier one during their conversation. There was a thin line between genius and insanity, after all.Leon placed his tablet to the side and watched Heather sleep like that. She was deep in slumber, and it seemed like the woman had gone through a lot today for an absolutely spirited woman.“It looks like the days were torture on you,” Leon said to the sleeping Heather.Leon had already decided to completely leave Heather behind him, for her conflict with Matthias actually made Leon jealous. After all, Matthias was someone who could make Heather crash her c

Now that they were in Venezuela, Myra and Tony hugged each other intimately after they finished touring Canaima National Park. Since they were staying at the presidential suite this time around, they could roll around the huge bed in any way that they liked.When they woke up, he gently kissed her forehead as he revealed a slight smile on his face. Even though he had been quite disturbed by the stalker, he felt as though all his troubles had melted away when he hugged her in his arms.Myra had been a light sleeper as of late. Even though it was a gentle kiss, it had woken her up. With an apologetic look on his face, Tony asked, “Did I wake you up?” Of course he wanted her to have a longer sleep.“I’m easily woken up these days.” On top of being pregnant, the bad encounter had also made her unable to be sound asleep.However, it was not necessarily safe for them to return to Bradfort City either. The mastermind who hired the stalker to follow them could be waiting at Bradfort City for

Under the bright moonlight, Bradfort City was illuminated with the festive decorations. The Hart Family was also undeniably quite busy. Apart from Myra and Tony, everyone else including Tony’s eldest brother were home for the Lantern Festival.Shawn had received Tony’s message when he was at the dinner table. When Tony found out about the stalker, he immediately sent the person’s information to Shawn. Since the family was having a great time around the dinner table, Shawn did not want to interfere with the great atmosphere and remained silent about the matter.Only Shawn and Sebastian were initially the ones to have known about the matter. Since others were in the dark, Shawn had to find another time to speak to Sebastian about this.However, things became increasingly complicated. Before this, all the possible reasons that were hypothesized by Ben and Shawn for Tony and Myra being stalked were refuted. After all, all they could think of was their business enemies. However, a normal b

The hair on Heather’s forehead gently swayed with the breeze as she appraised the guest before she retracted her gaze. The guest meaningfully and playfully looked at her, making her feel as though he had locked her with his gaze.After momentarily meeting her gaze, he turned his eyes to another direction as he walked slowly toward them. However, she kept her gaze on him until he spoke in a low voice that was quite unfamiliar to her.However, he was a familiar face to her because they had just met at the golf course yesterday. Today, he unexpectedly appeared at the Langston Residence as a precious guest of her family.Heather did not understand the twists and turns of the events, but she was rather vigilant about it and it was reflected in the defensive approach in her eyes.“Old Master Langston,” he broke the silence and started the conversation with Robert. She was not used to the way he accurately pronounced each word that made him sound like a professional news reporter. He seemed

The meal had made everyone in the Langston Family quite nervous. Upon seeing Robert’s attitude toward Caleb, everyone was doubting Caleb’s position.Because Robert did not introduce Caleb to the Langston Family and Caleb did not make his position clear, the rest of the family members did not know how they should treat him.On the other hand, even though Heather knew his high-ranking position, she was quite indifferent as it was nothing to her and she had no interest in the military. After all, not only was she a talented businesswoman, she also liked entrepreneurs more than military men.An outstanding entrepreneur would warrant second glances from her, but sometimes she also wondered why she had her eyes on entrepreneurs. It was as if she had decided that she wanted her future husband to be involved in business.After the lunch, Caleb showed no signs of leaving, but Heather wanted to look for an excuse to return to her room. However, his occasional glances at her made her swallow her

After walking out of the study, Robert asked Heather to do something that she enjoyed. She thought about the date with Matthias and wanted to seek an answer from Robert’s eyes, but she could only see exhaustion, so she left him alone.She had no idea what came to her in the morning until she canceled her date with Matthias. If she could turn back time, she should have merely postponed it. Feeling troubled, she opened her Messenger and clicked on his chat bubble even though she had no idea how to explain it to him.‘Do you have time to meet me now?’She quickly finished typing a simple reply, but she did not send it out.After thinking about it, Heather deleted the message, thinking that it was perhaps not that appropriate to be so direct with him. Looking at the message she sent in the morning, she did not feel too happy about it.‘It’s the Lantern Festival today and I have some family business to attend to. Why don’t we meet another day?’She slightly regretted her decision to send t

Heather pushed open the windows and turned around to smile at Leon as she inhaled the fragrant scent of the flowers in the air. “ Leon, have you heard of Caleb Moriarty?” Perhaps Leon knows something about him, she thought to herself.However, Leon stared at her with a confused expression. In all honesty, he couldn’t quite recall this person at all, so he asked rather perplexedly, “Is he from Bradfort City?”Heather shook her head in reply. “Could you help me look into this man? He’s a general from Leisfeld.”Surprised, Leon wondered, How did she get involved with someone from Leisfeld? He furrowed his brows and placed his cell phone aside.“Why are you asking me to investigate this person out of the blue?” he asked, needing a plausible reason from her.Heather, on the other hand, said resignedly, “Today, he paid us a visit and mentioned our arranged marriage…” She couldn’t quite bring herself to mention the rest of it. Obviously, no one would be able to accept this sudden appearance

Standing before love It wasn’t easy
Back in the country, Locke Group and Hart Group did not give way to each other, causing everyone in the city to live in fear. As the two large companies were in dispute, they implicated many small enterprises and caused them to close down one after another.Even the Langston Group, who had always been watching the fight from afar, had been affected. Nevertheless, Blake didn’t dare to tell Robert about what was going on. If Robert were to find out that Langston Group had gotten into such big trouble under Blake’s management, the old man would never let him off easily.Although Robert had informants in Langston Group, Blake hadn’t notified many people in the company regarding this issue. Thus, the informants Roberts planted in the company didn’t catch a whiff of this news.The Langstons are on the verge of bankruptcy and Blake had been trying to solve it. However, he had forgotten that this hole in his finances would become an abyss once it got too big. That was the case now, and he cou
Standing before love A string flicks
Early in the morning, Matthias and Heather started traveling. A journey to the west was what she had decided for them. It had been snowing nonstop throughout the night. Hence, she could only see a huge pile of snow when she looked out the window.As it just stopped snowing in the morning, they were set to head out. After hours of snow, the weather was rather cold so she had covered herself in a thick fleece jacket. Initially, she refused to as she wasn’t a fan of fleece jackets. However, he persistently insisted that she should wear it out. Thinking that he might have to take off his jacket for her again, she complied.With the fleece jacket on, she looked young and adorable. As someone who was petite and slim, she looked a little chubbier in the fleece jacket. While Matthias liked her outfit, she—on the other hand—couldn’t understand his taste in fashion.“You look like a bear when you’re wearing a fleece jacket.” Though she gave him a scornful stare, a smile crept up her lips as she
Standing before love Little bliss
The crisp sound made from Heather’s steps on the permafrost echoed. As she looked into the distance, she couldn’t see much on the other side of the river. Since Matthias didn’t continue on the conversation, they simply just let it slide.Rumors had it that he was good at fighting. She was eager to see his prowess in martial arts but she forgot one thing—she was a girl. There was no chance he would ever fight her; even if he did, he wouldn’t be using his full strength.On the other side, Bradfort City was in chaos. It was so much more peaceful where he and Heather were. The commotion was mainly caused by the constant attacks from Locke Group toward Hart Group that hadn’t ceased, even with Matthias away.Ever since Locke Group started provoking Hart Group, the two companies could not be in the same city anymore. To make things worse, Tony hadn’t gone easy on the Locke Group.To be frank, Matthias was still more or less affected by the ongoing tension back in Bradfort as Nikolai would so
Standing before love Two strong wheeled charcoal
In the below freezing temperature at night, Heather was sleeping in a separate bed as Matthias in a standard room they had booked. Matthias didn’t dare to act rashly this time around and maintained a distance from her. She had given him a slight warning during the day, so he knew how far to go.Because Iceland had an abundance of geothermal energy, the temperature inside the hotel was ideal, and Heather soon fell asleep. On the other hand, Matthias was still unable to fall asleep. Looking at Heather, who was a short distance away, he let out a satisfied smile.The way she looked while she was asleep looked extremely harmless. She had lost the aggression she normally had, and her sleeping posture was also more carefree.Occasionally, she would knit her brows together. He didn’t know what she was dreaming about, but it didn’t seem like a pleasant dream. At the thought of driving in the car with her during the day, and how they even fought over a map, he realized that he liked this feeli
Standing before love The two have made heather
After doing some shopping in the mall, they were able to feel how much better domestic malls were. The malls in Iceland had too few products, so they could only buy a few things.Walking out of the mall, Matthias received a picture on Messenger from Nikolai. Upon seeing the picture, Matthias became enraged.As it turned out, the stalker had followed them all the way to Iceland and uploaded a bunch of pictures of them being affectionate with each other. Once again, he and Heather were making headlines again. In an instant, Matthias replied to Nikolai, ‘Did you find out who tipped off the media?’ He told Nikolai to be more attentive, but he wasn’t sure if the latter had found anything yet.‘I need one more day. I’m currently searching through the whole city.’ Previously, Nikolai didn’t quite understand why Matthias gave him this task, but after the headlines came out today, he finally understood. It looked like Matthias had already sensed that someone was following and taking pictures o
Standing before love Emerging clues
Matthias’ sudden stern attitude created an awkward tension between the both of them. Heather didn’t think that her words would stir up such a big reaction from him.“You and Locke Group…” She had a bold prediction, but she wasn’t sure if she should say it out loud. It might be presumptuous to ask him so directly.“I don’t want to talk about Locke Group anymore.” His complexion improved slightly. He was a little sensitive about Locke Group these days, which inevitably got Heather thinking.“Okay. Let’s not talk about it, then.” She didn’t want to cross his boundary. That was the basic form of respect between people.They still had half an hour left before the plane would land. Heather and Matthias also tacitly agreed not to talk anymore. The entire first-class cabin was quiet; everyone was in deep sleep, while Heather was looking elsewhere.Previously, she was worried that someone was following them and suspected that the person might be in the first-class cabin. After observing for a
Standing before love On the way to Iceland
The atmosphere was heavy. At this hour, there weren’t a lot of people waiting to board a flight. The lounge exuded a mild refreshing scent that seemed like it was barely even there. It instilled a sense of familiarity in Heather, as though she had smelled this scent somewhere before.“Do you smell this fragrance?” Her question was so sudden that Matthias wasn’t able to make the switch yet.He tried his best to sniff, but he didn’t pick up any unusual scents. Getting up from his shoulder, Heather looked all around but did not notice anyone suspicious.“A perfume fragrance?” He only smelled perfume. When he tried his hardest, he even smelled a fusion of several different perfumes.Looking around, he figured that it was probably coming from the person next to him; even a man was wearing perfume.“No. Maybe I was mistaken.” She brushed it off. It seemed the mild scent was also gone now. She reckoned she was just imagining things.He looked at her with a worried gaze and suspected that the
Standing before love A big chess game
Seeing Heather’s deep awareness of herself, Matthias felt like he had misunderstood her all along and had assumed that she was someone who wouldn’t repent.“If you’re able to recognize your problems, then it proves that there’s still a chance to fix them,” he said earnestly. It was better to console her during this time as it was rare that she would want to improve herself.“What problems do I need to fix?” Looking over at him, she needed to hear his answer.On the other hand, Matthias was stumped. Some of her bad habits also looked cute to him now. His mind inevitably went blank when she asked him about the problems she needed to fix.“You have a bad temper and are very purposeful.” He gave a general answer. Aside from that, he couldn’t think of anything else.In regard to her temper, she really didn’t give anyone any leeway, unless she had business relations with them, in which case she would give them some. In normal life, she wouldn’t even bother with anyone who couldn’t benefit h
Standing before love Late repentance
Regardless of what Heather said now, Myra wouldn’t listen to any of it. Heather couldn’t think of a better countermeasure. She had imagined this sort of situation happening before, but she never thought through how to face it.“I don’t want to see you.” Looking at Heather’s indifferent expression, Myra couldn’t see the slightest bit of sincerity. It didn’t look like she was remorseful at all.Myra regretted having met Heather. No matter what Heather did now, it would all be misinterpreted in her eyes. Their friendship had ultimately been jeopardized.All along, Heather never liked to give explanations, but she already did her best to explain things to Myra. It didn’t look like Myra wanted an explanation from her at this point. Nonetheless, what could she do? She was completely at fault.She maintained eye contact with Myra for quite some time. It was the first time Myra looked this tough in front of her. Her mouth opened slightly; the words had reached her mouth, but she couldn’t spea
