Standing before love Can I help you
Myra stood in the doorway, blocking the door as she coldly stared at Kris. “Kris, you should be thankful that I don’t have a recording of what you said to me in the past. Otherwise, the things that I can get for myself won’t stop at just those.”Slamming the door shut with a loud ‘Bang!’, she leaned her back against the security door and turned a deaf ear to Kris’ frustrated voice outside. She clenched her fists tightly, feeling as if she had managed to vent some of her anger. I will probably be forced to fight a long, drawn-out war from now on. But, I have something more important to take care of right now.Taking out her phone, she immediately dialed Tony’s number. Although she called him three times in a row, her calls went unanswered. He must be angry.Thus, she smiled bitterly and sent him a text message instead. ‘Tony, have you fallen asleep?’As expected, the message was completely ignored even though she knew very well that he wasn’t the type to go to bed so early. She felt ra

Myra’s voice, much like herself, gave off a quiet and gentle feeling. There was no attacking power hidden in it.This damn woman! How is she able to control my emotions so easily? Moreover, she knows exactly how to comfort me! Still… Tony couldn’t help feeling pleased inside when he heard her saying that she had gotten jealous when that woman tried to seduce him at the elevator. Then, he reversed their roles and took the initiative to ‘attack’ instead. He kissed her deeply on the lips, acting as if he wanted to devour her whole. His actions were fierce—he had no intention of being gentle toward her.Soon, he pulled off the vest she was wearing and threw it on the ground. The night breeze was chilly, and she shivered suddenly. All of a sudden, she remembered what she was wearing underneath her dress. She gasped in shock and grabbed the hands of the man in front of her just as he was about to rip the collar of her dress.“Wait… Wait…” she urgently said while breathing heavily. Her face

Myra watched as the car drove away. Then, she adjusted her clothes. The moment she turned around, she came face-to-face with Kris’ shocked and suspicious gaze studying her uncertainly. “Whose car did you just get out of?”Myra coldly glanced at Kris before walking around her and heading toward the Stark Tower.“Stop!” Kris hurriedly chased after Myra and grabbed Myra’s arm tightly. “I asked you; whose car did you get out of?!”When Kris walked out of the building, she happened to see a black Maybach stopped in front of the building. It was the latest model in the market. She originally assumed that it belonged to one of the company’s presidents that was here at the Stark Group to discuss business. Just as she was about to go up and greet them, she saw Myra coming out of the car with a shy smile! Moreover, she noticed a tall man sitting in the driver’s seat during the short exchange between those two. Unfortunately, she couldn’t see who the man was!Didn’t Myra just get divorced?! How

The other party replied gently, “Sure. You should quickly get back to work too. Don’t disturb your father and your sister during their discussion.”Kris obediently made a non-committal sound in reply and turned off her phone. After that, she went into Cameron’s pantry, brought out a glass of lemonade for Myra, and placed it on the desk in front of Cameron. For a moment, she seemed like she was about to call out to Myra but lowered her head instead when she saw the ugly expression on Myra’s face. She turned to Cameron and said, “Dad, I’m going back to work.” Then, she hastily left the office. The office door quickly closed behind her amidst the strange atmosphere in the air.In the meantime, Myra stared at the man in front of her. Although he was 50, he remained in high spirits and looked no more than 40 due to good health maintenance. His handsome looks from his younger days could still be seen from his sharp facial features, and his eyes gleamed with a businessman’s shrewd intelligen

“How can I have something as dirty as a connection with the Stark Group?” Tilly raised an eyebrow at Myra while smirking. She shook her finger with a cheeky smile, pretending to be mysterious. “I might not have any connection with the Stark Group, but I have a connection with the Hart Group!” When she mentioned ‘the Hart Group’, her eyes practically shone with delight. She seemed like she could barely restrain herself from gossiping and quickly wrapped herself around Myra. “Miss Stark, I’ll tell you the truth. Mr. Hart is the one who asked me to come and help you! Haha! He personally offered me a salary! Because of that, I’m receiving a double salary! How could I turn down such a great offer?! Therefore, I made an unscrupulous decision to take up this sacred mission!”Looking at Tilly’s excitement, Myra felt her face burning with embarrassment. Even so, her heart felt warm inside. That man is always thinking about me. Knowing how stubborn I can be, he is probably worried that I won’t

“You!” Kris was so enraged by Tilly’s words that the flames of her rage flared wildly inside her chest. Then, she suddenly narrowed her eyes and looked at Tilly. “Tilly Quinn, don’t forget who it was that placed you in the position of the Design Department Director’s assistant!” It’s just that I didn’t know Myra would eventually take over as the Design Department Director at the time!“So, you accepted Mr. Logan’s favor too. Why are you glaring at me?” Tilly pretended to be innocent.“This is just great! You double-faced traitor! Knowing that Myra was going to be your superior, you quickly kissed up to her. I’ll make you regret it!” After Kris finished ranting, she glared at both of them and left.Tilly patted her chest. “Phew. What a fierce woman. No wonder Mr. Hart asked me to come and help you, Miss Stark! That distorted face of hers made me think that she was going to eat me up!”“She won’t eat you.” Myra glanced at Kris’ back indifferently. “But, you need to be careful of her in

Besides, Old Master Stark handed his will over to Conan back then so that Conan could bring it out when the time was right.Tony’s slanted eyes narrowed slightly. “She told me that she wants to obtain the Stark Group with her own strength. She wants to give it a go.”“Of course. It’s only right to let her try.” Conan chuckled while giving Tony a meaningful look. “But, I also know that you won’t just sit idly by and let her try all by herself.”Tony wasn’t upset that Conan had seen through his inner thoughts. “So?”“So…” Conan shrugged. “This is the second condition I have before allowing you to marry Myra on behalf of her grandfather and her mother.” Needless to say, the first condition is that Myra loves him.“There’s a third condition too?” Tony scowled.“Of course.” Conan raised his eyebrow. “I don’t want her to get bullied, no matter where those issues may spring from. Therefore, you still have many things to deal with.”Tony understood the implication behind those words. “It look

In fact, I didn’t even get any gifts for them!Meow’s happy cry sounded from the back seat. It was joyfully playing with a ball in the back seat.On the other hand, Myra was feeling quite uneasy. Even though there were times when the words were already on the tip of her tongue, she hesitated to speak. Moreover, she was so nervous that her palms were covered in a sheen of sweat by the time the car arrived at the villa area.The car gradually stopped by the side of the road. Tony unbuckled her safety belt and suddenly pulled the woman next to him into his lap. His expression was filled with a rare sense of helplessness as he kissed her on her lips and pressed his forehead against hers. “Are you nervous?”“Yeah…” She lowered her head and slowly wrapped her arms around his slim yet powerful waist.His eyes narrowed slightly. “I have a way to make you feel less nervous.” After saying that, he kissed her again.She lifted her head with a surprised exclamation, her large and distinct eyes lo

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
