Standing before love A ruthless woman
He hadn’t expected Heather to make such a move at all, and Matthias bumped into her vehicle head-on since it was too late for him to dodge her car. As he muttered an expletive under his breath, he immediately flung his arms over his head while his car shook violently.Perhaps no woman could be crazier than Heather. She staggered out of her car after the crash, and Matthias also got out of his car soon after that.Then, Heather stopped moving and fixed her unexpressive eyes that showed no sadness or joy on Matthias. Meanwhile, Matthias suppressed his anger and approached Heather step by step. He didn’t expect that Heather would actually do such a dangerous thing as to crash her car into his. “Are you insane, Heather?” he scolded loudly. Heather was simply courting death, for even Matthias didn’t have the nerve to do such a thing.However, Heather merely stared at Matthias without any response until he got close to her. Matthias could no longer conceal the anger on his face as he grabbe

This was precisely why Heather held Leon in special regard. In addition to being a highly-skilled hacker, Leon had some distinguishing qualities that were absent in other people. Such a person was a great help to Heather, so she was glad that she and Leon were friends instead of enemies. “Gifts for friends should only be the best, of course.” Heather attached great importance to gifts, so she always strove to give the best and the most suitable presents. Furthermore, she put a great deal of care and thought into the gifts she chose. She was an earnest person most of the time, though she didn’t know how attractive her personality was.“I don’t need anything—just prepare a table full of delicious dishes for me tomorrow.” Leon manifested a mysterious hint of danger. He had never tasted Heather’s cooking before, for the latter was always too stingy to cook for him. Therefore, he had been coveting the food she made.“It’s a deal,” Heather agreed without hesitation.“What’s the story about

At this very moment, Heather could do nothing but resign herself to her fate; she could only be as good as gold in front of Robert. Upon recalling the deliberate car accident that morning, she had to admit that she was too impulsive at the time. Even though she had calculated in her mind that nothing serious would happen, she failed to take any possible mishaps into consideration. If she were to do it again, she wouldn’t have been so impulsive. After all, more problems were bound to follow when she decided to bump her car into Matthias’ vehicle.Since she didn’t want to be taken to the hospital, Heather cooperated with the doctor as he examined her under Robert’s hard stare. However, her own gaze made the doctor feel nervous during the examination. The look in her eyes gave him quite a lot of stress, and the doctor probably didn’t expect to run into such a patient.Just then, Robert quietly appeared in front of Heather and gave her a fierce glare, for her habit of scaring timid people

As he suppressed his inexpressible emotions, Lucas went to the Langston Residence with lots of healthcare products in his hands, upon which the house’s servant had him wait in the living room. Meanwhile, Heather couldn’t wait to go downstairs when she heard in the study that Lucas had arrived. After all, she really had something important to discuss with Lucas.Seeing how impatient Heather looked, Robert said to her nonchalantly, “Don’t be hasty. Just let him wait for a while.”Heather looked at Robert puzzledly, for she couldn’t tell what he was going to do this time. Was he actually going to test Lucas out as if the latter was his future grandson-in-law? “It’s almost time for our date. It’s a bad thing to keep someone else waiting!” She could only try to reason with Robert since it was really difficult to read an old man’s mind.Robert wouldn’t let another man win Heather’s hand easily, though. “What’s wrong with letting a man wait for a lady?” To him, a man should at least undergo

In an instant, silence returned to the Langston Residence. After Lucas left, Robert took Heather back into the study, this time with an even uglier look on his face. Not knowing how she had displeased him again, Heather looked at him with an innocent expression.“You were screwing around!” Robert rebuked angrily.Heather looked at Robert in puzzlement. She didn’t know in what way she had screwed around, so she wondered if Matthias’s arrival had displeased him. “Are we going to continue drawing?” she asked with a serious look on her face. At this moment, she’d better divert Robert’s attention immediately, or Robert might give her another dressing-down.“Don’t change the subject.” Robert wouldn’t play Heather’s game, though. He felt powerless at the sight of Heather, for her relationships were in a total mess.“I know my faults now, Grandpa. I’ll draw an excellent picture to make you satisfied.” Heather unwaveringly guided the conversation to the subject of drawing, but Robert shot her

Heather chatted with Matthias on Messenger while drawing on the canvas. She found a book that taught its readers how to draw using charcoal, and after following the step-by-step instructions stated in the book, she slowly got the hang of it.She looked at the drawing she made contentedly, and it looked much better than the sketch she had made in the beginning. Her mouth curved into a smile of satisfaction; she realized that drawing wasn’t as difficult as she thought it was, for smart people would always be faster than others in whatever they did.As a result, it took her much longer to reply to Matthias’s messages, but Matthias didn’t mind this. After all, he was happy enough as long as she was still willing to pay heed to him.Just then, a knock on the door was heard from the outside. Matthias knitted his brows, for he had ordered Lara not to let anyone disturb him.However, the knock on the door wouldn’t stop, so he had to open the door himself. When he opened the door, Regan reveal

Unexpectedly, the person who couldn’t possibly show up at the Langston Residence right at this moment showed up in front of Heather, and she looked at the person with a half-smile. “Heather.” This was probably the last voice she liked to hear. Few people would call her so affectionately, but she felt disgusted whenever this particular person called her name in such a manner.“What brings you here, Blake?” she asked in surprise. It wasn’t time to clock off yet, so why would Blake come home ahead of time? He even went to the study right away to meet her.“It’ll be Thanksgiving day tomorrow, so the company closed early,” Blake replied naturally.Heather almost forgot that the next day would be Thanksgiving Day, the day when one was supposed to have a Thanksgiving meal with their family. She felt somewhat lonely all of a sudden, for she recalled her parents—they had basically been treating her with indifference ever since she came back to the Langston Residence. Naturally, she would be ly

Since she was unable to stand the man’s gaze any longer, Heather asked without mincing her words, “Has Grandpa been here today?” She felt she was too unlucky—why would she run into this annoying guy by mischance?The golf course manager shook his head. “I didn’t see Old Master Langston today.”Heather stared right into the depths of the golf course manager’s eyes. After a long time, she said frostily, “You’re lying.”Perhaps she shouldn’t expose his lies so directly, but Heather decided to take a gamble. The golf course manager was obviously lying; if Robert had never been here, why hadn’t Blake come out after going inside for such a long time? There must be a plot behind this.Heather tried hard to recall if the Langston Family had offended anyone lately, but she couldn’t think of anyone after racking her brains. Someone had to be plotting against the Langston Family, or such a fishy thing wouldn’t have happened. Besides, she could feel Robert’s presence here. Heather was a very sens

Standing before love Proposals
(Final Chapter)However, before Myra could digest the incidents, a knock on the door emerged again. Zayne’s eyes lit up at once as he reckoned it was most probably Jason this time.Sure enough, Jason appeared in front of them with injuries. Leon found Jason rather unfamiliar as it was natural for one to not remember a driver’s appearance.“You’re finally here, Jason!” Heather exclaimed in surprise upon seeing him as she had waited for him for a long time.“Zayne Lee.” With a cold look, Jason walked up to Zayne and tilted his head to look at him. “Stop acting. I know you’re not injured.”Zayne stared at Jason awkwardly as he had not expected to be seen through by Jason so easily. Meanwhile, the others glanced toward Zayne in shock.“Congratulations. Your plan to lure the enemy out has succeeded. Now, I can tell you with certainty that the mastermind behind all these is Caleb Moriarty.” It was very rare for Jason to spit out such a long sentence.The others were not surprised upon heari
Standing before love Weird things happened
Since the situation had escalated to this point, they could only fight to their death, and Matthias was prepared for the battle. Even though the opponent was one of the top killers in the world, it was not an issue at all for Matthias to protect himself. However, it would be an arduous task to protect Zayne, the patient, at the same time.Matthias decided to be the vanguard and asked Leon to stay by Zayne’s side while he guarded the door vigilantly. They didn’t know when the killer would discover them, so Matthias had to guard the door well.Meanwhile, Heather kept increasing the fare’s price to the driver, hoping that she would be able to find Jason as soon as possible. Looking at the GPS, she became more flustered when they got closer to the destination. She was perturbed as the truth was about to be revealed, and she was all the more anxious at the thought of the critical situation in the hospital. Even if she successfully found Jason now, there was not enough time to rush back to
Standing before love A waiting game
Since when has Leon become this caring? Lying on the bed, Zayne really wished to turn to lie on his side. Due to the anesthetics, he didn’t feel much pain; he just felt uncomfortable because he couldn’t stretch his body. Nevertheless, he wasn’t hoping for anyone to understand his feelings at this moment. He attempted to move his body as he was worried if he had actually become handicapped.Leon glanced at Zayne in puzzlement, wondering what he was struggling about. Zayne didn’t seem to be in a good situation, but Leon had no idea how to help him. The two of them faced each other while Leon stared at Zayne with an inquiring look, but he still couldn’t understand what was on Zayne’s mind.It was only until Matthias came into the ward did the standstill between the two come to an end. Leon stood up and stared at Matthias. At that moment, all three of them were at a loss for words as an awkward atmosphere arose in the ward.Alas, Leon spoke up and broke the ice. “I’m going to buy oranges
Standing before love The patient should be given the most respect
The atmosphere surrounding the two men was extremely intense. Matthias didn’t want to cause more trouble at this moment, so he took a few steps back and attempted to keep a distance away from Leon.Leon understood Matthias’ intention. He smirked and said in a sarcastic manner, “President Locke, I heard you’ve been keeping a woman recently.”Matthias freaked out upon hearing his words. So Leon’s actually mad because of this. Matthias couldn’t think of an appropriate explanation. Staring at Leon’s eyes, he knew Leon might not buy his words even if he explained them to him.“You actually believed those rumors?” Matthias said justly. He didn’t intend to explain the details to Leon, nor did he want to be maligned.“I’ve seen you and the woman together with my own eyes.” If it wasn’t that Leon had seen it himself, he wouldn’t be this suspicious of Matthias.Matthias looked at Leon in resignation. It seems like he’s really concerned about Heather’s matters—he’s still bothered about these thi
Standing before love An intense atmosphere
Heather walked toward the main road while pondering. Judging by the traffic of the cars that were passing by on the busy road, she had a feeling it would be very hard for her to get a cab at this moment. Hence, she was starting to get a headache just by staring at the noisy street.She reckoned no drivers would be willing to accept a booking at times like these but she still decided to give it a try—only now did she suddenly realize the importance of owning a car.But alas, the fastest way she could think of was to increase the offer price. She believed there would definitely be drivers who were willing to accept her booking as long as she offered a price that was high enough. However, she worried that the cabs were too far away.True enough, when Heather opened the ride-hailing app, there were no drivers around the area. She wished she could get a driver by offering a huge stack of money, but sometimes, there were situations that even money couldn’t solve.When a driver finally accep
Standing before love A sudden accident
Ever since he stepped foot in Bradfort City, Zayne had nothing but problem after problem piled on his plate. This time, he looked for trouble himself. Matthias’ situation was already far beyond what Zayne could handle, and Jason knew that the latter was barely holding on.After Matthias had left, Jason descended into worry. He looked at Zayne, his face a little on the pale side. Neither brother had managed to reach an agreement. Jason completely did not approve of what Zayne was doing, and the conflict between them could blow up at any moment.The atmosphere was loaded like a powder keg. Both men’s expressions were tense, and it seemed as though things would break down the next second. Jason moved and took a step forward, whereas Zayne curled his hands into fists. The situation was both awkward and tense.Jason continued to march forward. Zayne could find no reason to make him stay, so he helplessly watched as Jason left the room. He looked at his younger brother, his lips faintly qui
Standing before love Someone who creates problems
Anger was still anger in the end, and Heather wasn’t someone who would cling to someone unreasonably either. She knew that Leon wouldn’t have hung up on her so easily, and it seemed that he was extremely tired.After her call with Leon ended, Zayne texted her. She played the video clip that he had sent to her, but she wasn’t sure how to react to it. Not only that, Heather didn’t know how he had managed to get his hands on this firsthand information—the venue in the clip was where the Locke Group’s board of directors were currently at.Heather took notice of Matthias in an instant. When she saw him there all by himself, she suddenly felt that he needed to be protected as well. Sometimes, she really couldn’t get a handle on him as her heart ached for Matthias.However, Heather couldn’t bring herself to examine her conscience even though she could sense that Matthias was under a lot of pressure. She had only watched a few seconds of the video clip, but her heartstrings were already being
Standing before love Two unfortunates
At that moment, any further exchange would simply be pointless. The day had barely started, yet it was already so disastrous. The next hours would be even more so.The more Zayne wanted her to admit it, the more resistant she was to do so. With a stiff face, she responded, “It’s his personal affairs. Why should I care?”When he heard her bold words, Zayne had a hard time holding back his laugh, for he was astounded by how persistent she was. Heather was so reluctant to admit it, so he didn’t want to pursue the matter any further. Since she felt that way, he shall have it her way.“What’s your plan today?” As he went off on a tangent, Zayne started to chatter casually. Heather felt that there had to be an underlying meaning behind his words, so she shot him a deadly glare.On the other hand, Zayne stared at her calmly, and he thought her petite look was extremely adorable. She must be dwelling on nonsense again!“Other than locking myself in here, what else can I possibly plan for? I l
Standing before love Start a disastrous day
In the freezing night, Matthias stared at the mansion in front of him with not a trace of anger. Since it belonged to the Lockes, it will no longer mean anything to him from now on. Should I say goodbye?Ever since Evan left, the residence had been especially quiet at night. Having lost his attachment to the mansion, he coldly gazed at the building as if the entire area only had one residence.Despite his desire to walk in, he stopped himself outside the home. After all, he was now truly alone after pushing everyone else away.At this moment, he sensed a fragrance of blossoms wafting in the air. He tried to locate the source but to no avail. Surprisingly, such a subtle aroma somehow matched the winter so well. As he took in the scent, he was reminded of the countless incidents, wondering when they would finally end.What surprised him was the fact that the family head had yet to look for him since he left the Locke Group, and that made him feel rather peaceful as the head seemed to ha
