Standing before love Now, you are after my man
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

Did you see Mrs. Walton’s expression?” Myra felt that she had become quite mean but she couldn’t help gloating upon recalling Shelly’s expression earlier. “Did you know that she rang me a while ago and said she wanted to meet me? I didn’t agree to meet her though, so I reckon she must be quite pissed off with me. Furthermore, seeing me walk in with her daughter’s beloved man today must be quite upsetting for her!”Perhaps it was because Myra was bored from staying home all the time so now that she was out in public, she behaved quite mischievously.Tony looked into her sparkling eyes and his lips curved into a soft smile. However, he raised his eyebrows quizzically. “She called you?” Obviously, Myra had initially kept this a secret from him.Just then, it hit her that she had spilled the beans. Blinking, she looked at Tony with an innocent look and placed her head on his shoulder. “Tony, you were quite busy with work previously, so I didn’t bring it up as I didn’t want to bother you,”

Shelly did not like Kris at all and she might even go so far as to say she detested her. She could tell that the woman was only dating Gideon to gain something from the rest of the Walton Family. The only reason why she had yet to confront Kris was because Gideon had told her not to, but that didn’t stop Shelly from throwing pointed looks at the woman every now and then.Presently, upon seeing that Kris was about to muck things up, Shelly shot her a stern look, as though silently telling her to pull it together. Catching the older woman’s frosty gaze, Kris managed a nonchalant façade, though her fists clenched tightly at her sides. She gritted her teeth as she thought grimly, Once I get everything I want, I’m going to cut off all ties with the Walton Family and I won’t have to take any crap from this old woman ever again!The next moment, she was holding onto Gideon’s arm as they made their rounds in the banquet hall to greet the guests. She looked pale despite the smile that was firm

They drew a collective sigh of sympathy for the two Hart brothers. They’ve fallen far too deep.Presently, Tony had a lazy grace about him after he had teased Myra. He had shed the cold and curt demeanor with which he had addressed Gideon previously. Myra, on the other hand, was blushing furiously all the way down to her neck. She stomped her foot in frustration and she looked as though she was about to say something, but decided against it when she remembered that they were not alone. Feeling resigned, she glared at him mutely instead.Elliot interjected with a chuckle as he joked, “We could always turn a blind eye if you want to beat him up, Mrs. Hart.”Myra was at a loss for words and she flushed at the teasing remark. Tony was pleased to see the effect he had on her and he chuckled in a low tone. He eyed the others insouciantly as he pulled her into his arms, holding her head against his chest as he said, “Alright, alright; stop teasing her.” He knew that she would die of embarras

The women who were closest to the scuffle began to shriek in alarm and the whole room descended into chaos.Myra and Estelle were about to make their way over when Tony and Shawn held them back. While there was no harm for Estelle to scope out the melee, Myra was in a far more precarious situation. After all, she was pregnant and it wasn’t ideal for her to risk getting bumped into by someone else.At the thought that she was now a pregnant woman, Myra sighed in frustration and stood in place obediently.Meanwhile, Elliot, Philip and the others had sauntered over to the scene of the ruckus. They appeared to be mitigating the fight but from what Myra heard, they sounded as though they were spurring them on backhandedly.“Come on; aren’t we all friends here? You might even end up as business partners in the future. I’m sure you could talk things out. Besides, Mr. Fuller might just be a good friend of Miss Stark’s and he was probably acting out of instinct when he caught her as she fainte

Shelly’s eyes widened visibly, but before she could say anything else, Gideon stopped her from speaking as his countenance shifted. “Mom, this is not the time to talk about this.”Upon hearing that, Shelly could feel herself trembling while she took in the sight of the crowd who seemed eager for a show. She was already feeling dizzy because of the overwhelming situation. Kris Stark, that b*tch! She lied to us! The two-month-old child doesn’t even belong to Gideon, but another scoundrel!She wished she could abort the baby right then and there. Fortunately, we got to know this early on! That b*tch has been hiding the truth from us. Is she waiting for us to take on the baby as our own? If that really happened, then the Walton Family would be raising someone else’s child!The mere thought of it was enough to rile Shelly up. “Gideon, the Waltons will not invest in the Green Palms Project that the Starks are working on! You have to listen to me this time!” Shelly yelled. How dare Kris do t

Upon hearing what Estelle said, Shawn instantly lost his cool and his face darkened. After giving Tony a look, the latter soon stopped the car by the road. Shawn got out of the car immediately to open the door on Myra’s side. With a gentle tone, he made a request. “Miss Stark, I would like to speak to Estelle for a bit, so can you perhaps sit beside Tony for a while?”Stifling a laugh, Myra got out of the car while ignoring Estelle’s glare. After that, Estelle remained obedient throughout the rest of their journey home without giving them trouble. The peaceful time was short-lived though, for it ended as soon as they arrived at Hart Residence.Sebastian sulked when he saw Estelle coming home alongside Myra. In a deliberately snarky tone, he questioned pointedly, “Why are you here? Didn’t you say that you hate this place?”“I didn’t come here of my own volition! I wouldn’t have come here if it weren’t to make sure that you aren’t bullying Myra!” Estelle retorted.Sebastian’s face flush

Everything happened so suddenly that Kris wasn’t sure how to react. She was carrying Hayden’s child, but she didn’t expect her pregnancy to be revealed during the banquet at Walton Residence. Not only was it revealed, but the Waltons also uncovered the fact that the baby didn’t belong to the Waltons.At that time, she didn’t want to remain conscious, so she pretended that she had fainted. She was also scared of waking up, as she couldn’t face Gideon and Shelly’s wrath. It wasn’t until Hayden rushed her to the hospital that she acted as if she had just regained consciousness.Miraculously, the baby she carried was still intact. However, she would prefer that she had a miscarriage, for nobody would be able to prove who the father was in that case. Without proof, she could easily insist that the baby belonged to the Waltons, which meant she could still salvage her relationship with Gideon, as well as help advance the Starks’ Green Palms Project.And now, the doctor informed her that the

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
