Standing before love I just confessed my love
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

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
