Standing before love Gamma ended up
“Stop creating more trouble when things are already in such a terrible state. You are responsible for consoling Gemma when she wakes up. You must not tell her about her disfigurement. Just tell her that she will recover with plastic surgery. As for her hands—” Edward glanced at Gemma’s heavily bandaged hands and his heart sank. “Do not tell her that she will be disabled. Just inform her that she will recover and she should focus on recuperating right now.”After listening to Edward, Shelly cried without answering him. Hence, he asked again in a harsh manner, “Did you hear me?!” He poked the floor hard with his crutch and it thumped loudly.She shivered whereas Samuel glared unhappily while pressing his lips into a thin line. Finally, her lips parted to mumble in agreement, “Yeah.”After that, Edward turned to look at Samuel and Gideon. “Samuel, we shouldn’t delay the Central Square project any longer. You must not get distracted now and focus on the project instead. As for Gideon, eas

It so happened that the four members of the Walton Family were in Gemma’s room when she received the writ of summons. Upon reading the contents of the document, Edward almost fainted out of anger.We, the Waltons, are acquainted with the Hart Family. This time, it is undoubtedly Gemma’s fault, but everybody could tell that she has paid the price for her actions. On the contrary, the brat, Tony, will be just fine after recuperating for some time. However, he is adamant on suing Gemma; he’s not bothered about the shared acquaintanceship between the two families at all. If this is leaked to the public, the Walton Family will suffer tremendously in Bradford City.When the Walton Family barged into Tony’s room, Myra was leaning against his bedside. His arm, which was not badly injured, had only slightly recovered, but he was already fooling around by insisting on her lying down beside him. It was at this time when the door to his ward was slammed open with a bang. She jumped in shock and i
Last Updated : 2024-11-01Standing before love It never changed
The scene was naturally played out in front of the Walton Family, which caused their faces to boil. Even though they were disdainful toward Myra, the Hart Family was now using their actions to confirm that she was Tony’s wife and they would not tolerate any mockery toward her.At that moment, Edward’s expression was ever-changing. If they want Gemma to leave Bradfort City forever, even I won’t allow it, never mind Gemma herself. After all, she is my granddaughter and given her current state, she’ll probably lose control of her emotions and cause a ruckus if she is told to leave the city. Seeing Sebastian’s attitude, he may ignore the incident if we refuse to send Gemma away, but whether or not Tony will sue her completely depends on what he is thinking right now.However, he knew clearly what Tony had in mind at the moment.Before he could speak, his son, Samuel, patted his shoulder and said to Sebastian with a deep voice, “Old Master Hart, I admit that this is Gemma’s wrongdoing.

Elsie was probably overwhelmed by what had just happened; it was either that or she was now encountering some trouble, causing her not to hear clearly what transpired at the other end of the phone, so she continued to talk to Myra. “When she was working for the Chase Group, she did a lot of things to discredit the company and even stole classified company secrets. In the end, she was kicked out of the company. Mr. Hart… You…” After Elsie calmed down slightly, she realized that there were rumors saying that Myra actually stole the Chase Group’s Hilliville project for the Hart Group. Instantly, she was rendered speechless, but her heart was still full of hatred and dissatisfaction. “Mr. Hart, I will never lie to you. Myra is a very calculative woman. The child inside her is probably not yours! Don’t—”“Miss Foster, why don’t you tell me who the father of the child inside me is if it isn’t Tony’s?”While listening to Elsie’s words, Myra didn’t know how to describe the emotions inside her

The man already lowered his head as he accurately sealed Myra’s lips with his thin lips.“Um… Tony…” She struggled for a moment, but each time she moved, the man would let out a soft hiss. She didn’t know whether she had touched his wounds, so she didn’t dare to move a muscle.However, her obedience only fueled the flame inside the man.The ward’s washroom wasn’t gigantic, so soon after, the air inside started to boil as waves of heat impacted Myra.Tony could see that her eyes had now turned completely red compared to her serious look earlier.“Myra, can you sit here?” he murmured with a deep voice while kissing her.His voice was charmingly husky, causing her body to tremble slightly. As she opened her eyes and saw the gentle yet undefiable eyes of the man in front of her, she couldn’t help but listen to him and sit on the washstand.When she wanted to open her mouth and say something, the man approached her with his thin lips again so that she wouldn’t have the chance to speak.…A

There was never a shortage of suitors around Hayley, which was what boosted her standard to an extraordinarily high level. In school that day, the moment she first saw Tony, her heart instinctively started to race. Even though she didn’t know him, she knew at first glance that he was a successful man with a charming and elegant aura. At that time, other students in school didn’t have the same aura because it was something gained after years of experience.At that moment, she rushed toward him, wanting to confess her love while also asking for his contacts. Of course, she would have loved it if the two of them exchanged contact numbers, but sadly, he seemed to be thinking about something else at that time, so he didn’t notice her at all.After that, the man never left her mind. Instead, the memory of the scene became much clearer to her as she found out about his name, status, family and career.Sure enough, he was as successful and extraordinary as she thought he was, but sadly, he al

“I’ve also heard about it. I wonder what kind of hatred drove Miss Walton to do such a thing. However, from what I’ve seen, she was probably troubled by love. It’s possible that they were a couple once, but now that Mr. Hart has fallen in love with another woman, she felt so wronged that she rammed him with a car.”“I wonder what method Myra used to charm Mr. Hart to a point where he won’t even consider any other women. By the looks of it, Gemma is quite a pitiful girl. Because of this, she is now forced to leave Bradfort City. I even heard the reason why she will be sent away is because she required medical treatment abroad. She probably got hurt really bad this time.”“However, we can’t say that she isn’t an idiot. I can’t believe she didn’t even think about the consequences when ramming the car at Mr. Hart. Luckily, she was only asked to leave Bradfort City this time. If the same thing happens again, the Walton Family will probably be doomed.”“You’re right, but who wouldn’t want a
Last Updated : 2024-11-01Standing before love The horrifying face
Myra had no idea what Elsie had meant by ‘you can’t make me leave Bradfort City’, but she was growing annoyed at the other woman’s ridiculous antics.As she turned on her heels to leave, she pointed out in a clipped tone, “In case you haven’t noticed, there are cameras all around here. Regardless of how things may turn out after this, I won’t try to deny any wrongdoing on my part. I just hope that you’ll still have as much bravado by then, Miss Foster.”Upon hearing that, Elsie stared at Myra dumbfoundedly. As Myra slid into the car, Estelle started the engine.Elsie snapped out of her daze when Estelle slammed the honk at her to get out of the way. Elsie knew there was no way for her to get a word in with Tony. She had called him with different phone numbers, but there was no answer on his end. It was clear that he refused to hear anything that she had to say.Seized with desperation, she had resorted to asking Myra for help, but her strategy earlier had obviously gone awry. She had

As Myra’s vision blurred, she fell into Heather’s arms, hearing the latter’s anxious voice calling her name.The sudden onset of pain was identical to the headache she had experienced before, but this time, it affected her whole body. Myra gripped her chest tightly, the pain threatening to cease her heartbeat. Without delay, Heather lifted her friend up.She then took Myra to the hospital in her car, but something peculiar happened. A short while after arriving at the hospital, Myra could feel that the pain had vanished.It was exactly like her headache last time, which left as suddenly as it came. Heather’s eyebrows creased in a frown as she wondered what was going on with Myra.“What did you see at the rockery?” Myra was staring in a particular direction when she fainted, but when Heather followed her gaze, she didn’t see anything out of the ordinary.“A cave,” Myra answered with a hollow look in her eyes.The frown on Heather’s brows deepened. How could a simple cave cause her to b
Standing before love Memories of school
It was on the day before the wedding that Heather heard from Myra that the best man was Lucas. The moment Heather heard that name, she knew that he was one of Tony’s bros. She tried to recall Lucas’s features, remembering that he didn’t talk much and seemed to be more mature.“So, what do you think?” Myra asked teasingly, “You did say you want a best man who is tall and handsome.” She jokingly reminded Heather of what she said before.Heather smiled in response, which in turn caused Myra to feel slightly curious about it. The two proceeded to sip their drinks in silence.Myra’s wedding was just around the corner, and Heather was glad to see that Myra looked comfortable and relaxed. Myra had slight pre-wedding anxiety before, so it was nice to see that she had adjusted herself.“I’m going to give you an amazing gift,” Heather said, grinning.Myra replied, “Then I will also give you a superb gift in return.”“Why not just give me a gold card?” Heather joked.Looking at the time, Myra re
Standing before love Candidate chosen
During this period, Heather looked at Myra from time to time. The atmosphere around the table was strange, giving her a sense of foreboding. The gaze that Myra returned was intriguing, as well—it made her feel uneasy.After lunch, as everyone sat around the table chatting, Heather glanced down at the time on her cell phone with a slight frown. Noting the movement, Myra realized that she could not keep Heather any longer, for lunch had already used up quite a bit of Heather’s time.Meanwhile, the clock read 2.00 PM. It was time for Heather to be at work. After dithering for a long moment, Heather decided to be direct and opened her mouth to tell Myra, “I have to go to work, so I’m taking my leave.”As it was, Heather rarely got to visit Hart Residence and had no wish to leave so hastily, but time did not permit her to linger. With a slight nod of her head, Myra responded, “Of course! Go on.” Of those at the table, she was the only one who could truly understand how busy Heather was.Fe
Standing before love A different kind of blind
Tony had assured Myra previously that Philip and Lucas would surely show up if Heather agreed to come over. As expected, the two of them reached a while later.While Philip and Lucas didn’t confirm their attendance in the group, Tilly and Elliot confirmed that they couldn’t make it. As Tilly was completely overwhelmed by her public affairs, it had been a while since she and Elliot were separated due to her work. Hence, it was normal that Elliot would go look for Tilly when he had free time.While Shawn was busy every day as the vice-mayor, he obviously wasn’t free during the noon, so Estelle was the only one who replied in the group.‘Wait for me. I’ll be here in a bit since I wouldn’t want to miss out on Myra’s food.’ After last night, she wasn’t as afraid of Heather any longer. Moreover, it wasn’t as if she had to spend time with Heather alone because everyone else would be there as well.Since Estelle was the only person left that hadn’t reached, it wasn’t appropriate for them to s
Standing before love Candidate for the best man
After a long moment, Myra replied faintly, “We can have only one best man. Who should we pick?” There would be a quandary if they really intended to match Heather with the best man.Then, the choice for best man would become complicated, as there were currently two candidates from which Myra and Tony had to choose the one most suited to Heather.“Well, from your point of view, who would suit Heather more—Philip or Lucas?” It wasn’t up to Tony to decide, since Myra knew Heather better, anyway.“It’s hard to say. They both have their merits,” Myra replied hesitantly, wondering if she should have them meet up once more before the wedding.It felt too improper for them only to have met under the flickering lights of Zion Club and the influence of alcohol. There was a possibility that in broad daylight, Heather could feel a different spark altogether with the two candidates.“We still need to see what Heather thinks,” Tony suggested meaningfully.“Let’s find a time to meet up tomorrow,” sh
Standing before love Gathering at Zion club
Prior to Tony and Myra’s wedding, Estelle, who was busy with her shootings overseas, rushed back. Not to mention, Tilly, who was on her annual holiday, canceled her holiday and came back as well. Immediately, Myra felt like Bradfort City had become lively again because it had been a long time since she met them.However, Tony, on the other hand, valued Myra over his friends and didn’t bother about them, as he was too busy spending time with her. After some discussion, they all decided to meet each other at Zion Club, and the Messenger group chat that went quiet for a long time became active again.Besides that, Myra also added Heather into the group. This was Heather’s first group chat on Messenger because she barely used it if it weren’t for Myra. The group got even more lively with her arrival while Tony warned the others as he figured that Heather was probably not used to lively chats like this. ‘You guys better behave well and don’t scare her away.’Unexpectedly, Heather replied,
Standing before love Dare to challenge
After staring at each other for a few seconds, Evan looked away while Matthias stared at him from above. Matthias! How am I supposed to know when I know my way around girls?“Jobbery,” Evan said.It seemed like Matthias found Evan’s suggestion interesting as he gave Evan a knowing look while Evan only continued talking after a while. “Since Heather is completely focused on her work, it would be better for you to approach her under the name of work.”Heather probably wouldn’t be happy with Matthias if he kept approaching her anytime he could, especially when she was working. After all, most people wouldn’t be happy to be disturbed by private matters during work. Moreover, Matthias would just be ruining his chances, considering how career-oriented Heather was.“Seeing how the partnership discussion with Langston Group hasn’t reached an agreement, I don’t have the time to do anything else,” Matthias felt his head hurting as he said. He really wanted to work together with Langston Group f
Standing before love A hopeless chauvinist
On one hand, Myra and Tony were happily making their wedding preparations. On the other hand, things were getting worse. In comparison, Matthias appeared to be in a bleak situation.Heather thought that he deserved the outcome. Hence, she could never sympathize with him. Her failed relationship in the past did not cripple her, and she had never acted out like Matthias.In fact, she held a disdain for people like him who would cry and wail over relationship issues. She felt a heightened annoyance at Matthias, but she did not know if the feeling rose because she was angry at the fact that he was deeply in love with Myra.She was disturbed by his obsession with Myra, but she would never openly admit to it. Moreover, she had no right to confront him about his love for Myra.Under Evan’s encouragement, Matthias mustered up his courage to do something. He could not keep languishing when Myra’s wedding was nearing. At the very least, he wanted to attend her wedding with grace. Before that, h
Standing before love The wedding preparation
When the date of Myra’s wedding drew closer, Matthias seemed to have fallen into a trance.Heather had completely given up on him, for she always looked down on men like him. Seriously though, what is his point of showing his despondency like a drama queen?Finally, it was Evan who called her and begged her to pay a visit to Matthias’s place.“I’m super busy. I don’t have the time to do so,” she rejected emotionally. Even after listening to Evan describing Matthias’s desperate situation, she had nothing but disdain for him.At that point, Matthias was basically living in his wine cellar and gave up on running Locke Group. His behavior attracted complaints from the board of directors. Even Heather was shocked to find Matthias throwing a huge fit over Myra’s wedding. In her eyes, his action was utterly despicable.“Please tell him: He does not deserve love if he only acts out like a child. He needs to learn how to love someone right before he gets all dramatic over someone again,” she h
