Standing before love Was anything I said false
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

“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,

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
Last Updated : 2024-10-02Standing before love Finalize the engagement
At the time, Tony did not know what those feelings were.Knowing that she was the granddaughter of Old Master Stark, he unintentionally formed a business relationship with Old Master Stark but later found his actions to be too immature. At the same time, his business overseas was starting to improve. It was the busiest time for him, so he couldn’t get distracted by some feelings that he was unable to figure out.He was a smart man, but sometimes, he was still a bit slow-witted.By the time he figured everything out, Myra was already deeply in love with another man. Soon after that, the news of her marriage was released.In that dark night, an emotion flickered across his black eyes.For some reason, Myra did not like seeing him with that expression. Leaning across suddenly, she placed a kiss on his cheek. “Two people who are meant to be will always end up together.”No matter how tangled up she was with Sean, at the end of the day, she was not meant to be with him. Meanwhile, she and

As he spoke, his hands roamed around as he touched Estelle.Estelle’s face was beet red, and she used all her strength to ruthlessly slap the man’s misbehaving hands away. Gritting her teeth, she spat out, “You wish! Get your filthy hands off of me!”“Well, it seems like you know me quite well, Estelle. In that case…” His hands had already left her body, but he suddenly turned back, and the corners of his lips curled up. “There’s still a lot of time left tonight, so why don’t we continue… What do you say?”“You son of a b*tch!” Estelle cursed as she glared at the nasty man in front of her.If she had known this man’s true nature, even if someone gave her a boost of courage, she wouldn’t have dared to provoke him!Now, she was beyond regretful!Taking deep breaths, Estelle managed to calm herself. She restrained herself from slapping the man’s face, which should’ve looked indifferent but currently contained a touch of scorn instead.“Shawn, return my phone to me!”Shawn abruptly narrow
Last Updated : 2024-10-03Standing before love I didn’t say it
Myra was quiet for a moment. Estelle had always been domineering and headstrong, but for Shawn to be the weaker party in their relationship just seemed… impossible.All of a sudden, she asked a little cautiously, “Estelle, have you… not forgotten that person?”There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Estelle’s unrecognizable voice sounded. “Myra, what are you talking about? I don’t want to be with Shawn. I don’t have anything to do with him at all, okay? If you hadn’t just mentioned that person, I would’ve completely forgotten about him. Shawn and I… I just don’t think we’re suitable for each other!”“How are you not suitable?!” Myra exclaimed.Estelle took a deep breath. “He’s one of the law-abiding renowned figures, and his future is bright. He… Anyway, he would never have a relationship with a measly actress like me.”“I don’t think that’s the case.” Myra raised her eyebrows.In the beginning, when Tony wanted to be with her, she had a lot of concerns.Wome

Standing before love Search for an answer
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
