As soon as they got into the car, Myra turned around to ask Tony, who was focused on his driving, “You already knew that there were problems with Rachel’s pregnancy?”

By the time they were done with all the drama, it was already 1 in the morning. The colorful neon lights shone around them, signaling that the nightlife in Bradfort City had just begun.

Under the shadows cast by the neon lights outside, Tony’s handsome face looked seductive and alluring. His strong jawline and long eyebrows made him look strict when his eyes were narrowed, but his thin lips were arched into a half-smirk. “In the beginning, I didn’t know about it.”

“When did you find out, then?” Myra fiddled with his right hand that was not on the steering wheel.

Tony turned his hand over and held hers as he rubbed his thumb on the back of her hand. His eyes narrowing, he muttered, “When Kris stopped us and accused you.”

Initially, Tony was not sure and he was merely guessing. Through the information Elliot provided him,

    “What’s wrong?” Myra did not miss the bruise at the corner of his eye. Once she lifted his head to take a closer look, her beautiful eyebrows knitted into a frown.The corner of Henry’s right eye was bruised and it was obvious that someone had beat him up. Even though it was not something serious, it was too much for a kid to handle.“Someone bullied you in school?”Myra was sure that the bruise on Henry was not from a fall. Apart from that, teachers would not beat students up, so she presumed that Henry got into a fight with his classmates.The boy avoided her glance and muttered, “I accidentally fell down during sports class today.”Seeing that Myra was still staring at him fixedly, Henry grabbed her hand and forced a smile. “Let’s go, Myra. The mall isn’t far from here, so we’ll be there soon.”However, Myra did not leave just because of his words. Instead, she pursed her lips and looked at Henry seriously. “You are not being honest with me, which makes me really unhappy.”This was

    Elsie froze when she heard the whispers around her, most of which consisted of snide remarks.“Look at that homewrecker. I wonder how she can still parade around shamelessly!”“I’ve never seen a homewrecker who isn’t shameless. After all, one can’t steal another’s husband without first being thick-skinned, right?”“She does look like a sly homewrecker—and to think she was trying to intimidate others around her. She should get off her high horse and look at herself in the mirror!”Elsie stiffened. She looked around and saw that everyone was throwing scornful looks at her. The graceful and elegant front she’d put up earlier was as good as trashed, reduced to nothing.A fiery rage lit up her eyes as she marched forward, reaching out with her hand to push Henry, who had already stepped up. “What did you say, you little b*stard? You better watch that mouth of yours!”However, Myra gripped Elsie’s wrist before she could touch Henry. Elsie was shoved backward by Myra, who said coldly, “You s

  • Standing before love    You used to buy it for me

    There was a baby store across the boutique in which Myra and Henry were doing their shopping.It had taken some effort on Lyla’s part to convince Sean to come shopping with her for baby products. She was wearing a cotton maternity dress and a pair of flats; while her baby bump was only subtle to the untrained eye, the sales assistant could tell that she was definitely pregnant.“You know, Sean, the doctor told me that the baby is doing well. I think that means the baby will grow up to be a considerate and loving child.” When Lyla noticed that Sean was absent minded, she took his hand and placed it over her baby bump.Sean’s gaze finally flickered over to her stomach and his face softened at the mention of the child. When he saw that the sales assistant was looking at him, he looked at the crib that was propped up to one side. “We’ll take that one.”The sales assistant froze and Lyla grew awkward. She tugged on Sean’s arm once more and said softly, “Didn’t we say we wouldn’t be getting

    When Sean saw that they did not have enough cash to make payment at the counter, he had instinctively taken out his card and handed it over the counter.He stared at the woman before him. She was dressed in her usual work attire and the plain outfit only flattered her figure instead of hiding it. He took in her features and realized how delicate they looked. It was as if he was truly seeing her for the first time and he found that she was almost as, if not more, attractive than Lyla. In fact, there was a serene beauty to her and she exuded a quiet sense of determination that was otherwise lost on Lyla.“You don’t have to draw such a harsh line between us, Myra,” Sean mused as his thin lips curved into a cold smile, although his gaze was impassive. “We were husband and wife, after all. I have no qualms about paying for these.”“We don’t care about whether you have qualms or not.” Myra frowned. She tried to bypass him, but she was blocked by him again. She wondered whether he was doing

    “Myra wouldn’t stop complimenting you on our way here, Uncle Tony. She said that you’re very well-accomplished for your age and she complimented you for being handsome as well as kind! She also told me she likes you a lot and she doesn’t care about Sean at all! Mom told me that the reason why Myra blushes every time she sees you is because she’s head over heels for you…”Henry was rambling even as he ran away from them.“Come back here, you little rascal!” Myra bellowed after him. Her face felt like it was on fire from all the things he had said and she cursed inwardly, Ungrateful little brat. I can’t believe he’s doing this to me after he asked me to go shopping with him!“No!” Henry blinked at her with an impish grin on his face. “Just admit that you’re in love with my uncle, Myra! There’s nothing to be embarrassed about!”“Henry!” She gritted her teeth. She hadn’t realized how mischievous the boy could be and she wondered who had been filling his tender mind with all this nonsense.

    “Are you trying to tell me that I’m not putting in enough work or effort, Myra?” Tony chuckled devilishly, causing Myra to flush immediately.“Keep your eyes on the road, Tony!” She snapped while growing flustered.He let out another low rumble of laughter, but other than the fact that he was holding her hand, he did not move to tease her any further.Before long, they pulled up outside Tony’s detached villa.Myra had mentioned that she liked it here and soon after that, both of them moved into the property.When they drove into the compound, a management caretaker informed Tony that he had a visitor.They hadn’t been bothered by it until they pulled up outside the villa and nearly knocked into a woman standing in the middle of the path. Myra was shocked and she let out a sharp gasp.Tony, on the other hand, frowned. He coaxed her and took the keys before he stepped out of the car to open the gate to the villa.He had only just walked away from the car when a figure hurtled toward him

    Upon her arrival at Chase Headquarters, Lyla took out a hundred in cash and handed it to the driver. Then, she stepped out of the taxi without waiting for her change.Most of the employees had left by now and there were only a few of them working overtime on each floor of the headquarters. When the security guard manning the lobby downstairs saw Lyla, he quickly pressed the button for the elevator.It wasn’t hard to guess why Lyla was here and the security guard was only being helpful as he said, “Miss Fisher, Director Chase has only just gone up.”Lyla’s nails dug into her palms when she heard that. She entered the elevator before she pressed the button to close the door and for the designated floor respectively.As the elevator began to make its climb, her chest tightened with rage and anxiousness. When the doors opened with a ‘ding’, she walked out and headed down the hallway.It was quiet on this floor, but the lights were turned on.Her eyes immediately found Sean’s office, which

    (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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
