Standing 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

With a heavy feeling in her heart, Myra touched her belly as she remembered the person who shoved her in the elevator. It seems like Sunny’s miscarriage is not a mere accident.Tony came to pick her up at the end of the workday. She had deliberately asked him coyly to head upstairs to meet her.He did not think too much about her request. When both of them walked into the elevator, she heaved a sigh when those outside did not follow them in.After they went down and entered his car, she spoke as she buckled her seatbelt, “Can we go to the hospital today? One of my secretaries in the secretary department sufferered a miscarriage earlier today. I am want to visit her.”A shocked Tony scooted over to kiss her cheeks as he nodded. “Aren’t you scared?”Myra hesitated for a moment before she nodded. “A little, especially when I heard that she had a miscarriage.” In fact, it was not just a little—she was quite fearful because she had an ominous feeling. She was still shocked and scared after

“Let me tell you this—don’t even think about taking half of our assets when you are out with other men!” Eve had finally witnessed Lyla’s true character after she witnessed Lyla staying at another man’s place for a long time. She’s such a hypocrite! While she’s claiming to be in love with my son, she secretly sleeps with another man! How did we welcome such a shameless woman into our family? “I have already recorded your meeting with the man from yesterday. Let’s see what your excuses are this time!”Lyla’s expression immediately changed. “Eve, did you follow me again?” At this point, she did not bother to be respectful to Eve anymore.Eve merely let out a cold snort. “If I didn’t follow you, I wouldn’t have known all the dirty things you have done. You shameless woman! I shall see how you’ll walk into the abyss step by step!”With that, Eve turned angrily to leave.Even if she could do nothing against Lyla at this moment, she could have an opportunity to use the evidence in the futur

“Are you trying to sell yourself despite your looks?” Tony cruelly asked through his pursed thin lips.Upon seeing that Gemma’s expression changed drastically when she heard that, he tightened his grip. It caused her to immediately scream in pain, “Release me! Let go of me… You are hurting me… Tony…”“Gemma—” He shoved her hand away ruthlessly and she stumbled a few steps backward. His gaze was cold and distant when he glared at the fearful woman in front of him. “Even if you are the only woman alive on earth, I would rather choose to be alone without a woman.”The color drained from Gemma’s face and a wave of humiliation washed The over her. Tears started to brim in her eyes as she felt sorry for herself. “Tony, I just want to help you to release your frustrations because I know that Myra is pregnant now and you just can’t… You just…” She appeared especially hurt at that point. “She is pregnant now, so I am sure that you have been feeling frustrated. I have accepted reality—I will n

If one were to guess what kind of situation Eve would hate the most, the current circumstances would most probably be it—after being chased out of the Chase Family, not only did Myra not plunge down the social ladder. Instead, she joined the Hart Family, which had a much better social standing than the Chase Family. Besides, both Sebastian and Lisa seemed especially fond of Myra too.Eve wasn’t really fond of Myra, so she did not feel any loss with Myra’s departure from the Chase Family. She had no intentions of having Myra rejoin the Chase Family either, but it just felt like a gaping hole. Why is somebody whom I have cast aside like an old shoe regarded like a treasure by the Hart Family? It almost feels like Myra has deliberately joined the Hart Family to taunt me. It also feels like a slap in my face.Eve’s expression stiffened the moment she saw the three of them. She was just about to turn to leave, but she figured it would look especially petty. She did not want others to assum

It turned out that Gemma and Tony had an argument at the underground parking lot. She was blinded by anger, so she crashed her vehicle into his sports car. Coincidentally, a big truck was driving by, which meant that he could have noticed her speeding in his direction. He was left with no choice, but to accelerate forward to make an emergency turn. However, due to the sudden turn and the close proximity to the big truck, he crashed into it despite turning as quickly as he could. He may not have sustained fatal wounds, but he suffered from multiple severe injuries.On the other hand, Gemma was in a much more severe condition because her driving skills were not on par with Tony. When she was driving toward him, she saw him making a turn with his car, but she did not do that in time. Hence, she crashed right into the big truck in front of her. By the time the ambulance arrived, Leo had heard from the doctor that she was at the brink of death.Upon learning that she was still in the opera

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
