Shelly had assumed that compensating the other party would be sufficient to resolve the issue, but she didn’t realize that the misdeed could possibly lead to imprisonment. She nearly fainted out of fright upon realizing the gravity of the situation.Samuel’s eyes were dark and brooding. However, he didn’t make any promises to Shelly.By then, Gemma realized the severity of the situation and sobbed in fright. “Grandpa, I’ve learned my lesson and I know it’s my fault! Please, Grandpa! I’m scared! Dad, Gideon, I don’t want to go to jail! Tony is completely unharmed and I don’t want to go to jail!” Gemma sobbed uncontrollably and her tears soaked through the dressing on her face. Shelly, who was next to her, couldn’t control her tears either.“Stop all that crying! I’m well and alive here!” Feeling frustrated, Edward took another look at the live stream. Without a second thought, he switched it off with a cold expression on his face.Gideon’s current expression was thunderous. Everyone wa

This scene was captured by the members of the press behind them.Sebastian was quite stunned to see that and he gave a slight cough as his face flushed red in embarrassment, Oh gosh, these two don’t even care whether this is an appropriate place and time! Although he lamented this in his heart, he didn’t express anything and made his way out of the conference room hand-in-hand with Lisa.Myra’s face flushed completely from her cheeks to the tips of her ears after the kiss from Tony. She glared at Tony and finally succeeded in making him behave slightly. He laughed in a low tone and the both of them then disappeared from the entrance of the conference room.Unbeknown to the two of them, this press conference was not only a success in clarifying the circulating rumors recently, but their affectionate relationship was also the main focus of the press, resulting in them being the source of envy of the youngsters who saw the live stream.…Myra received a phone call on her cell phone soon

In fact, Gideon had already realized from the start that Kris had her own agenda but he chose to turn a blind eye to it because she had never done anything too drastic. Moreover, he still needed the support of the Stark Group so he chose not to be clear-cut with everything.However, Kris had crossed the line this time in regards to Gemma’s incident.As soon as Kris noticed Gideon walking into her room, she jumped up from her chair to greet him and immediately placed her cell phone aside, “Gideon, I thought you were at the hospital visiting Gemma. Why did you drop by all of a sudden?”Evidently, Kris was aware of everything that had happened this morning and the night before. She had always knew that Gemma was quite stupid but she didn’t expect the latter to make such a dumb move. She thinks that just because she’s the darling daughter of the Walton Family, she has the right to order me around and instruct me to complete her tasks. Well, guess what? All I had to do was send her the vid

They lied; they all lied to me!They told me plastic surgery would help and they said my face would be back to normal after going through surgery! However, it’s all lies and now they’re going to trick me into leaving the country! Grandpa, Dad, Mom, and Gideon… They’re all going to give up on me so they’ve all been keeping this a secret from me!At this moment, Gemma’s heart ached painfully and she hated the situation she was in. At the same time, she felt despondent and fearful of the scar on her face. I don’t want to be like this forever and I want to regain my beauty. I just want my pretty face back!She ran out from the hospital room and headed straight to Tony’s room. I need to see him right away and I want to tell him that my disfigurement is because of him! If he hadn’t provoked and angered me or made that sudden sharp turn, I wouldn’t have crashed into the truck that was parked in front. If all that hadn’t happened, I wouldn’t have ended up looking like such a monstrosity right

“Are you going on a trip? Will it be a long one?” Myra felt quite uneasy.Tony squeezed her hand and laughed. “I’ll definitely bring you and our child along if I have to go on a trip.”“Then what’s going on?” Myra stared at the document placed by her hand with a confused look on her face.At that moment, Tony seemed to sense her uneasy feeling; he curled his lips into a smile and suddenly stared at her squarely in the eyes while asking, “Myra, what if I’ve decided to go after the Stark Group? Will you feel upset about this?”“What?” Myra wondered if she misheard Tony’s words and her eyes widened in surprise.As soon as he saw her expression, he couldn’t control himself; he let out a deep, rumbling laughter and patted her on the head. “No matter what happens, you must trust me, alright?”…On the other end, Gemma had intended to make her way to the Hart Group. She hailed a waiting cab then covered her head with her clothes and entered the car. Upon arriving at the destination, she got

Hayden patted Kris on the back lightly. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling better now?”Kris shook her head. Looking up, she caught sight of her own reflection in the mirror. Currently, there was a dazed look on her face as she realized that this had happened on and off recently. Initially, she had assumed that she was just slightly under the weather so she didn’t pay much attention to it. However, this time, it suddenly hit her that it had been more than two months since she had had her period.Just then, she felt goosebumps all over and she pushed Hayden aside to make her way into the bedroom.He ran after her frantically. “Kris, what’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Let’s go to the hospital right away!”Kris took a few steps forward in a hurry but as soon as she noticed that Hayden was right at her heels, she stopped in her tracks all of a sudden. And so, Hayden waited in front of her expectantly. She smiled forcefully at him as she muttered, “I’m fine. I think I must have eaten

So this is how things are right now—six months ago, we started work on the Green Palms Project and things had been going perfectly fine until this morning, when I was told that the budget for the project was embezzled. The police have launched an investigation into this incident.The contractor appointed to complete the job was just a shell company and the director is no longer contactable; so far, the police haven’t apprehended anyone but news of this has already gone out to the public. The Green Palms Project is a major project and we have already pre-sold many units. Right now, our phones are ringing off the hook from all the phone calls made by these clients. If we can’t fill this deficit and continue with the construction works on the project, then we will be facing a huge lawsuit…”Cameron broke out in cold sweat upon describing the situation to Myra. This had happened all of a sudden without prior warning, which was why they were caught by surprise and were completely unprepare

Kris hurriedly replied, “Dad, I’ll go over to the Walton Group right away. Don’t worry; I’ll definitely be able to convince Gideon to help you!”Cameron nodded in response and he waved her off tiredly. Meanwhile, Kris nodded at Rachel and headed out of the door.This is such an unexpected surprise! I’ve managed to ask for help from the Walton Group and Gideon already, but I just purposely wanted Dad to see Myra’s true colors. After he sought help from her and got rejected, it obviously further emphasized my willingness to help. This time, Gideon had agreed to Kris’ request without any qualms and she felt quite pleased with his performance too. Turns out that Gideon’s quite dependable during critical moments like these!…Kris made her way to the Walton Group and headed straight toward Gideon’s office under the guise of seeking help. However, just before she walked into his office, she was stopped in her tracks by his secretary who awkwardly said, “Miss Stark, Mr. Walton has a visitor

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
