Standing before love Did something happen to you
In the meeting room of the Hart Group, Tony sat in his seat. His left hand supported the weight of his forehead while his eyebrows knitted together into a frown as he listened to the report from his employees.A solemn air hung in the office as everyone concentrated on their jobs.Suddenly, the knocks on the door broke the tense atmosphere.Tony pursed his lips slightly as the door of the meeting room was pushed open. With a frown on his face, Leo walked into the room. He had fully comprehended that he had interrupted the meeting, so he quickly mumbled a ‘sorry about this’ under his breath. The meeting was usually not allowed to be interrupted halfway like that, but Leo did not notice the peculiar expression on everyone’s faces. Instead, he walked straight to Tony and spoke to him in a low voice.Tony’s face immediately stiffened. While everyone held their breaths as they waited for his reaction, he had already risen from his chair and closed the tip of his pen. With a cold expression

Myra suddenly felt that she was running out of breath, so she took a deep, slow breath to stop the pain in her heart from spreading.There were some noticeable hints in Sean’s words.In that instant, many different scenarios went through her mind. For example, when Sasha asked for her help the other night, she emphasized that Tony did not intentionally allow her to obtain the video before she left. It would have been better for her if she did not cover for him, but after she explained herself, Myra became more suspicious. Sasha’s only good will had made matters worse at that moment.The golden Aston Martin had also planted some doubts in Myra’s heart. Needless to say, when Captain Fowler visited her, he let the cat out of the bag that Tony asked him to treat her well before she was thrown into jail, but something had gone wrong temporarily. Captain Fowler sounded like he was afraid of being blamed by her.The various pieces of evidence from the different incidents proved that at least

Tony did not immediately drive to the Stark Group, but he went to the Chase Residence instead.On the winding mountain road, he ran into Sebastian, who had just finished fishing. It was rare for him to desire to head home by foot, but halfway through the journey, he was so exhausted that he could not continue with his journey anymore. He did not want to be a disgrace by asking his driver to pick him up, so he was brooding on the problem.At that moment, Tony’s car sped past him. Recognizing his youngest grandson, Sebastian chased after the car as he yelled, “Tony! Stop the car! Tony! Tony!”However, Tony did not realize that Sebastian was there. Inhaling the exhaust fumes had caused Sebastian’s face to turn slightly green.Tony had received a phone call, but he hung up without even looking at the caller. Then, he opened the trunk of the car that contained a document wrapped in a kraft paper bag. It had been laying there for quite some time.After he exited the car, he held the documen

Even though it was not time to get off work, Myra could no longer continue with her paperwork. After letting Tilly know about it, Myra walked to the elevator after she packed her things up.Once she left Stark Group, she planned to hail a cab to leave. However, a black sports car slowly drove to her in the silence. As the car window slowly rolled down, the door was opened to reveal the driver’s face. Then, Tony exited the car.He was still in his tidy business suit. Before they left in the morning, she was the one who matched his clothes for him and helped him with his necktie. He had a slight smile as well as a gentle expression on his handsome face.Upon seeing Myra’s shock and vacant eyes, he walked over with a smile. “Why are you so shocked to see me here?”She subconsciously glanced at the time. Logically speaking, he will only be here in half an hour’s time. Even though she had ended work earlier, she still ran into Tony waiting for her in front of the company.“Are you tired?”

Her sudden question was not to demand his reason for doing those actions to her, nor was she judging the despicable means he had used.Looking at the honesty in Myra’s eyes, the love in Tony’s eyes was almost overflowing. He caressed her head as he replied, “I have never thought of hurting you. Trust me.”With a pause, there was a slight exasperation in his tone. “I can’t control the process, though. Myra, all you loved was Sean back then. I was so jealous that I was going insane and I just wanted to be with you as soon as possible.”Myra was both stubborn and strong. Even though the truth was staring at her in the face, she stubbornly believed that Sean could understand her love toward him. However, Tony could not bear to allow her to continue waiting with such stubbornness.She felt slightly embarrassed when he mentioned that all she loved was Sean. It was true that she had rejected all of Tony’s advances back then. At that moment, she was already thinking about leaving Sean, but sh
Last Updated : 2024-10-23Standing before love Do you want me to do it
Estelle had insisted Myra wear the outfit as a present for Tony.“Myra, you have already been with Tony for so long, yet you are still so shy! Let me tell you this—all men like women who are open and proactive, especially someone like Tony who has been single for a long time. Aren’t you guys trying for kids? I can guarantee that if you wear it a few more times for him, you will get pregnant soon!” Those were Estelle’s exact words back then. Before she finished speaking, she even reminded, “Remember to switch off the lights.”Myra had seen that set of lingerie. If the lights were not switched off, she wouldn’t have the guts to wear it.She initially planned to buy another present for Tony, but in the end, she decided against that. When she went out this morning, she placed the lingerie in her bag even though she was embarrassed. After all, I can’t just leave it hanging.Of course, Tony knew that it was not meant for him to wear, so he kissed her lips in amusement. “Wear it for me tonig

“Let you go?” Gideon laughed lightly. “If you marry someone else, it might be possible. I’m giving you another chance—leave Sean, have an abortion, and return to me.”“Director Walton!” Lyla clenched her fists which were dangling next to her body. “I know you have a fiancee now—it’s Kris. You guys are already together—”“So?”He finished the contents in his wine glass and placed it rather forcefully on the bar. The glass immediately shattered into pieces.Cold sweat had gathered in her palms.Since she had been with him for the past two years, she knew the type of person he was—obstinate, cruel, stubborn. He was basically a monster. If anyone had infuriated him, he would make the rest of that person’s life I quite unfortunate.“Lyla, there are many men for you to choose from, yet you want to marry Sean. I know that you have done quite a lot of things to force Myra to leave him back then. It’s impossible for you to continue staying at the Chase Family anyway. If you come to me, I will

After they cuddled in the car for a while, Tony finally released Myra from his embrace.When she was about to get out of the car, he suddenly pulled her hand back.Hence, she turned and looked at him questioningly. He merely smiled and pulled her over before he planted a kiss on her forehead. “I’ll pick you up later in the afternoon. Take care.”Myra returned the kiss on his chin. “When you arrive, call me. Don’t just stay silent.”She remembered that he had quietly waited for her at the company. Even though she did not say it out loud, she felt rather sorry for him.Tony smiled slightly and caressed his chin on her face. It was only after agreeing to her request that he let her go.Myra was in a pretty good mood after they had talked things out. No matter what, it was definitely better than brooding on the problem herself.When she was walking up the stairs, a female employee hastily ran into her. Myra’s expression changed when she lost her balance on the stairs. Fortunately, Genevie

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
