Standing before love Can it still bring profits
Myra recalled Kris always being fond of that villa in Cape District.But it was a property that Cameron was hoarding—it was the most expensive and significant place to him—so he never let it go to Kris.When Cameron blurted those words out, Myra felt disgusted but also surprised, and she understood why Kris had a sour expression on her way out earlier. Nonetheless, she did not think that this was Cameron’s sudden attempt at being a loving father. Narrowing her eyes at him, she said, “Just tell me what this is about, President Stark. Even if you don’t find beating around the bush annoying, I find it quite exhausting.”This time, however, he was not displeased with her rude speech and simply gave her a resigned smile. “Look at you. I just wanted to make your journey to work every day more convenient for you. Your sister always wanted that villa, but I kept it for you. Myra, I treat you much better than I treat your sister.”“Oh.” She did not show any emotions. “Since you want to give it

Sean turned around with a cigarette burning slowly in his hand. On top of the trash can next to him, there were a few cigarette buds that had already been put out. When he heard the principal’s question, a number of complicated emotions flurried across his eyes. He stayed quiet for a long while, then took a puff of smoke before he spat, “We’ve been divorced for a while now.”The principal was taken aback. He blurted, “Why?” He only realized he was too hasty after the question came out of his mouth. Noticing that Sean did not look too good, he chuckled awkwardly and said, “I’m just a curious person. I didn’t mean to sound rude. I just remember the days when Myra pursued you. When I saw the two of you get married later on, I was happy for both of you. I didn’t think…” …they would get divorced. Was there some truth in the articles that were published in the entertainment news at the time?As the principal looked at the man before him who had a successful career and was slowly becoming mo

The person who ran over was a female university student. She had a sweet appearance and was petite. Feeling shy, she bit down on her lower lip with her clean white teeth and stole a glance at the side. A few students in the dormitory had their fists up in the air to show their support and encouragement, but it only made her feel more bashful. Clenching her hands, she looked up at Tony with a blushed face. “Mister, can I ask—”Before she finished, he took a puff of smoke and walked right past her without any emotion on his face as though he was not mindful of her at all.When the girl realized that she was blatantly ignored, she couldn’t help but look at her friends and chuckle. She turned around and watched Tony’s back as he left. A look of fascination flickered across her eyes.Tony took a puff of smoke and still had the same expression on his face.This maidenhair path led to the front gate of the school which was not too far away now.As he looked in the direction of the gate, a fe

After Myra said that, her face looked like it was about to burn from how red it was. She quickly sat upright in her seat and started the engine to depart.Meanwhile, the man who was on the receiving end of her affection glanced at a shady place in the rearview mirror and smiled with a profound look in his eyes.Sean’s car was still parked behind them.It was as if he had been possessed earlier. After getting into his car, he did not leave right away but drove to the school’s gate instead as though he was waiting for something.While he looked at the merry food stalls on the side of the street and the happy crowd of people, his eyes were out of focus for a long time.Did this place carry a lot of memories that he shared with Myra?The principal’s words kept circling around in his mind: ‘When it comes to certain people, don’t wait until they’re gone to feel regret. Myra deserves as much as you can give her. If another turning point comes around, you should hold on tight to it.’Do I sti

“Trying to hit on Myra?” Sean felt pain shooting up from his abdomen but couldn’t care less about it at the moment. His eyes were slightly reddened like a cornered beast’s. Looking at Tony, he sneered, “Just who is the one trying to hit on Myra here? If it wasn’t for you, Director Hart, the person accompanying her to the mall right now would be me!”“You?” Tony raised his long and slanted eyebrows slightly while flicking the ash off his cigarette. “Why don’t you tell me, Director Chase; just how many times have you ever accompanied her to the mall in the past two years? Or, should I say…” He took a drag on his cigarette, his eyes growing frosty. “How many times have you accompanied other women to the mall before?”Sean’s expression changed greatly. “This is between us as husband and wife. It is none of your business.”“Ex-husband and ex-wife.” Tony narrowed his eyes. A dark emotion flowed through his eyes as he spat out the words, “One that exists in name only.”For an instant, Sean f

Myra felt something warm budding in her heart. Reaching out, she grabbed his hand that was pretending to take stuff out of the small shopping cart and interlaced her fingers with his. Then, she softly said, “I’ll just order them online for her. You don’t need to put any of the stuff you like back.”Tony lifted his eyebrow at her and wryly said, “That’s not good, is it?”Looking at his insincere and sanctimonious attitude, she squeezed his fingers hard. I’ve never seen a more shameless man than this guy. At the same time, she exasperatedly said, “It doesn’t matter. We bought enough today anyway.”Only then did he seem satisfied. He twisted his hand out of her grip to hold her hand instead while pushing the shopping cart along as he continued onward. She watched as the corners of his mouth lifted into the faintest smile. It was hard for her to imagine his cold and indifferent appearance, and her heart softened even more.Finally, they pushed the shopping cart over to the cashier to chec

Not long after, the car arrived at a small residential area and stopped in front of a villa located in the deepest part of the area. The villa was not very large, but it was very exquisite. There was a small garden inside; various flowers and plants also trailed down from the second-floor balcony. There were white tiles, red brick walls, wooden fences, and even a small pond inside the garden. Beside the pond stood a cherry tree, giving the entire garden an idyllic feeling.A caretaker stood outside the villa. When he saw Tony’s car, he hurriedly came forward to take the keys from Tony and opened the garage door on the first floor. Upon returning the keys, he heard Tony’s indifferent voice saying, “Close the garage door behind you.”The caretaker seemed taken aback for a moment. However, he quickly nodded in response and left, not forgetting to close the garage door behind him.When Myra heard what Tony said to the caretaker, she immediately became vigilant and wanted to get out of the

Kris was way more intelligent than Sasha. She pretended not to know who Sebastian was at the start so that she could take her time and create a good impression on him. Although this trick might work on ordinary old men, Sebastian had seen all sorts of tricks in his life. Therefore, he simply glanced at her indifferently before turning back to continue ringing the doorbell.She couldn’t help feeling somewhat humiliated when she saw that he was ignoring her. She was about to say something. At that moment, he muttered under his breath after being ignored despite ringing the doorbell several times, “Strange; what is going on? I clearly saw them heading here. Why is nobody answering the door? Could it be that they didn’t come here?”He had left the clubhouse out of boredom today. Thus, he asked his driver to turn the car around and head to the mall instead. He suddenly had a craving for fish, especially the steamed fish Myra made the other day. As soon as his car entered the underground pa

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
