Standing before love Who are you?
“She’s the young lady of the Stark Family. Didn’t Tony tell you, Gemma?” Sebastian looked at Gemma in surprise to salvage what was left of Myra’s approval of him. Then, he shot Tony a disgruntled look. “And you—why are you keeping such a low profile when you are in a relationship?”“I’m worried that somebody might snatch her away,” Tony answered calmly despite Sebastian’s rhetorical question.Everybody was astounded when they heard that, but they broke into knowing grins right away.The only time Tony acts like a normal man is when we talk about Myra in front of her. Thereafter, they turned to Gemma in unison, their gazes holding traces of pity.Tony tightened his arm around Myra’s waist when he said that and he completely ignored Gemma who was standing in front of him. Then, he led Myra to their seats.Gemma’s expression soured slightly.Based on her usual temper, she would have marched right up to Myra and given her a slap while demanding for her to leave. However, this was the Hart

Gemma gritted her teeth viciously when she saw the tacit understanding between the whole family.I did not expect the Hart Family to like that woman so much. It’s not just Serena and her child! That woman even has Old Master Hart and Old Madam Hart wrapped around her finger.I, on the other hand, feel like a total outsider! Before Tony arrived home, everybody treated me courteously but they were mostly just going through the motions. However, once that woman arrived with Tony, no one seemed even bothered to pretend anymore. I even noticed that Serena gave me a cold look earlier!Gemma had never been treated in such a way in her life.“Old Master Hart, do you remember the incident that happened in the United States three years ago when you were there? Tony was so busy that he forgot to pick you up and I was the one who found you at the airport. My parents and grandparents blamed me for not taking good care of you, Old Master Hart. If you and Old Madam Hart were to visit the States agai

Unfortunately, that woman was not her!Gemma shifted her gaze to the woman beside Tony. Stark Group was not well-known, or at least, she had never heard of them before. Her family probably isn’t as great as ours. On top of that, even though she has an acceptable look and figure, there are tons of women out there who have better looks and figures than her! What right does she have to stand next to Tony? A darkness flickered across her eyes.Myra and Tony quickly took their seats. He did not give her a hard time at this dinner which made her feel relieved. However, it wasn’t easy to dismiss Gemma who was sitting across from her.“Tony, this claypot eggplant dish is delicious. Have a taste. This sea bass is also very tender. I know you don’t like fish skin, so I removed it. Try it, Tony. Oh, and this soup. I tried it earlier and it’s really fresh. I’ll get a bowl for you.”From the moment Tony sat down, Gemma eagerly piled food on the small plate in front of him until it formed a mound,

Tony raised his eyebrows. He kissed her on the lips then proceeded to pull off his necktie. “Does seeing her make you unhappy? We can just ask Curtis to take her back.”Curtis was the Hart Family’s personal driver.Tony did not have much patience on minor matters. Watching him yank his necktie off, Myra stepped in and helped him untie it. “Old Master Hart already said she could stay.” It wouldn’t be appropriate if they asked Gemma to leave now.“Then we’ll leave.” He squeezed her hand as she was loosening his necktie and kissed her on the forehead. “We’ll go home if you don’t want to see her. Old Master Hart and Old Madam Hart won’t mind.”There was no limit to how much he spoiled her.She felt touched by his words. Puffing her cheeks out, she shook her head and said, “Forget it. It’s just for one night. She won’t stay here permanently.”He let go of her hand to let her finish loosening his necktie. “Don’t mind her. When Old Master Hart went to the United States, the Walton Family wer

“When would men find the time to tend to these things? Nevertheless, they will start to care sooner or later.” Gemma stared straight into Myra’s eyes. “To be honest, I’m quite surprised. If I were you, after getting abandoned, I would have hidden at home and not made a spectacle of myself. But, not only did you start working like nothing happened, you were even shameless enough to seduce Tony. Miss Stark, you are by far the most thick-skinned woman I have ever met.”“Likewise.” Myra was indifferent.Because Gemma was not getting a reaction from Myra, she was slowly losing her temper.She was always the jewel of the family and had never suffered through any hardships before. Today, however, she was losing to a woman she did not believe was better than her in any aspect. The most aggravating part of it all was that she was a divorced woman, but Tony was cherishing her like a prized possession.“Myra, don’t embarrass yourself and don’t decline my offer. There will come a day when you wil
Last Updated : 2024-10-02Standing before love The will
“Tony, you will regret this one day! You will definitely regret this!” Gemma pounded on the door. When no one responded to her, she left the Hart Residence in a rage.She thought she would get to stay at the Hart Residence today, but she was kicked out so miserably. Despite feeling resentful, she did not have a choice. A moment ago, Sebastian and Serena clearly saw the way Tony treated her, but they stayed silent.She’s better than I thought. She managed to buy over all the people in the Hart Family. How on earth did she do it? Gemma looked at the main gate of the Hart Residence one last time. I will rightfully live here one day, and I will kick that wench out of Bradfort City once and for all!…Once Tony went back inside, Myra had also just retrieved the bag of things.The other presents had been claimed and only this bag was left by the side of the couch in the living room.When she saw it, her face turned bright red. She also gave Tony a look when she saw him before heading up the
Last Updated : 2024-10-02Standing before love Are you sure it’s the will
Kris came to know about the will from Lyla, except she heard a different story from what she eavesdropped!“Dad, I didn’t think Myra would be a threat to us, so I didn’t take it seriously, but she came on so strong this time. She casually exposed our plan to kick her out last time. Not to mention, she even made you punish us severely! Dad, I don’t know how true Tony’s feelings are for her, but for as long as they are together, he will help her! Ever since she entered the Stark Group, everything has gone smoothly for her. She’s even doing an impressive job in her position as general manager while we got defeated again! Can’t you see it? She wants to get me and mom away from you, then go after you when you’re alone!”Kris spoke extensively in one breath, but if it had to do with Myra’s ambition, she did not mind instilling it in his mind once more.Almost everyone knew Myra’s goal in returning to the Stark Group, including Cameron.He let her back in at the time for the assets she held,
Last Updated : 2024-10-02Standing before love Did you already like me
Tony was teasing, but it left Myra baffled.The thought never occurred to her.She was just unhappy; unhappy that Cameron, Kris, and Rachel were slowly pushing her to the edge after she entered the Stark Group.But Tony knew about the will. In the end, the Stark Group would belong to Myra, and he was going to help her secure it. That was his deal with Conan.Pondering on it, Myra tapped her fingers in his hand then shook her head. “I don’t know.”She did not like doing business. The only reason she worked in Chase Group in the past was to help Sean. After that, she returned to work in Stark Group to claim back what originally belonged to her mother.Personally, she did not enjoy getting involved in complicated matters. Once she got what she wanted, she really did not know what she would do. With her personality, she just wanted an easy-going job to help kill time. If she had to continue working in Stark Group and face the people she disliked, her life would become futile.Seeing the d

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
Standing before love Matthia has a personality
Myra and Tony left the bridal shop in low spirits after spending a whole day trying on wedding dresses, for they were unable to find one that suited Myra. As for the remaining matters, Tony had already made the arrangements. After all, no one said that a wedding could only accommodate one wedding dress.Tony had already entrusted his reliable assistant with the task of managing the procedures involved in getting the tailor-made dresses ready. He had faith that his assistant would give him satisfactory results in the end.Having settled the matter with the wedding dress, Myra pondered for a while. She felt that Tony had taken her out to try on wedding dresses for some ulterior motive. She knew that something was wrong, but she just couldn’t put her finger on it. Don’t tell me this is all part of his plan to create a situation where he could openly announce that he wants to get the wedding dress tailor-made overseas.They hadn’t given themselves much time to prepare for the wedding; Ton
Standing before love Loss of reason
As Heather returned to Langston Group, her mind was full of questions while she troubled herself over the next step. The moment she opened the door to the office, Heather had the urge to cry, but she had no tears to shed. She looked at the man sitting on her seat and gave him a smile that looked worse than crying.“Where’d you go?” Matthias looked at Heather in disdain. It was obvious that he came here to catch her in the act.Matthias’ tone got on Heather’s nerves. She hadn’t even confronted him about the incident the day before, but he dared to use this questioning tone to talk to her.“That’s none of your business. Get off my chair.” Heather wasn’t intimidated in the least. If it weren’t for the glass door, she would’ve made Matthias wish he were dead.She was suddenly impressed by Blake for getting her an office with a glass door. It was crystal clear, so anything that happened on one side of the door could be seen from the other.The transparency restricted Heather’s actions and
Standing before love Business first
In the meantime, Heather noticed her phone ringing a few times but decided to ignore Matthias’ calls and hang them up. Nonetheless, her phone continued to ring again and again, no matter how many times she declined them. Eventually, Heather became annoyed and directly turned off her phone after her refusal to answer the call failed to make Matthias give up.On the other hand, the man lay down his phone in disappointment, surprised that Heather would rather turn off her phone than answer his call. It seems that I really did piss her off pretty badly yesterday. Great! Even Heather won’t talk to me now. At the thought of that, he somehow felt overwhelmed by loneliness.Meanwhile, Heather was bothered by mixed feelings inside her, deeming Matthias capricious and fathomless. Deep down, she reckoned Matthias still stubbornly insisted that it was all her fault for ruining his chance of living a happy life with Myra. Despite her guilt toward him about the things that had happened in the past,
Standing before love No need to do this
Considering her irrational state, Heather was prompted by her instincts to leave the place before the situation turned ugly. Nevertheless, she somehow couldn’t bring herself to simply just walk away because she didn’t know how she could face Matthias again if she opened the door and left like that. At the same time, she was mad and disgusted with herself for taking him into consideration at such a time.“Get out!” Matthias bellowed at Heather, clinging onto the last bit of his rationality.Heather calmly exchanged gazes with Matthias; she looked the man in the eye without even blinking as she refused to leave due to his impertinent attitude. I’m not just some woman whom you could just summon and shoo away as you wish! After all, the man’s mean response somehow hurt her pride.“You told me to follow you, and now you’re asking me to go?” Heather glared at Matthias, as if a fight could break out between them at any minute.Although Matthias was succumbing to his agitated emotions, Heathe
Standing before love Let matthia accept
Right now, Matthias had completely lost his composure and confidence. He was no longer his usual self, and his cowardly character was now totally out in the open. At this moment, Heather could not get away, but she could not ignore him either, so the two embraced each other in a bizarre manner.“Am I a failure?” Like a child, Matthias was curled up in Heather’s arms. He was a tall and burly man, yet he looked especially fragile at this moment.“No. There is no winning or losing when it comes to matters of the heart,” Heather replied gently. Recalling her previous relationship, she also thought at that time that she was a failure.Hearing that, Matthias held back his tears. Men should not shed tears, so he just stared at Heather. With mixed feelings, Heather felt uncomfortable under his stare, and she thought that she saw the old her in his eyes.“You’re not manly at all when you look like this.” Heather slightly raised her eyebrows, trying to ease the tension.At this time, no matter
