Standing before love She was badmouthing
With an earnest gaze that indicated to Ivy his deep love and gentle desire to protect her, Leo continued to stare at her while waiting in trepidation.Hearing his sudden confession, Ivy was stunned. Although she knew early on that he fancied her, she always feigned ignorance because she didn’t want to complicate things.She was swayed by his sudden confession, but chose to immediately push him away in panic while biting her lip. “Leo, the man I like is Tony. Even though he doesn’t like me, I won’t give up before he gets married.” Her final sentence sounded rigid, either because she really refused to give up or she was trying to turn Leo down.As soon as Leo heard that, his gaze dimmed. A frown appeared as quickly as it disappeared before he smiled at her. “I’m at my wits’ end if you’re not going to change your mind even after I did that.” With that, he switched to a more serious demeanor. “Ivy, even if you’re unwilling to give up on Director Hart, you shouldn’t lay a finger on Miss St

“Will the fall of Stark Group bring any loss to Myra?” Tony arched his brow while questioning Cameron.“Of course! Have you already forgotten that she has twenty-five percent of the shares of the company? If the company goes bankrupt, she won’t be able to get anything.”Cameron gritted his teeth. In fact, it wasn’t just twenty-five percent. He was aware that there was someone else who had been buying off the company’s stocks that were on the market. Other than Tony, Cameron couldn’t imagine anybody else doing that.However, he could only feign ignorance. “Of course, I wouldn’t make you help us for free. If Stark Group manages to fare through this, I’m willing to offer you Green Palms Project’s full profit. How does that sound?”“Green Palms Project’s full profit…” There was a hint of ridicule in Tony’s voice while he sandwiched his phone between his shoulder and his cheek. He took out a cigarette, only to quickly throw the cigarette into the bin beside him as soon as he glanced at the

Although Myra still had something to say, Tony lowered his head to plant a kiss on her soft, pink lips. “I’ll be alright; I’m just trying to reassure you. After all, you’re now…” He rested his hand on her belly while smiling languidly. “All you have to do is take care of the baby you’re carrying. Just leave the rest up to me.”Upon noticing his confidence, Myra was feeling more relieved. Nonetheless, she turned to look at him. “No matter what happens, you’re not to hide anything from me or let me worry, okay?”“Okay.” Tony wrapped his left hand around her right hand, his eyes tender and jovial.…Meanwhile, Cameron picked up Sean’s call immediately after hanging up Tony’s call. “Sean…” He addressed Sean over the phone cordially as soon as he picked up. “Is something the matter that you’re calling me now?”Ever since being turned down by Myra, Sean had been feeling gloomy. When he heard Cameron’s voice, he frowned in displeasure, but gave a casual reply nonetheless. “Mr. Stark, let’s m

Some of the clips depicted Tony teaching Myra to play golf, the two of them sharing an intimate moment as they interacted. Other clips included a conversation between Tony and the old man from Bridgers Corporation, during which Tony expressed the fact that Myra had a unique place in his heart.Other than that, there were also clips that showed Tony turning Belle down in order to show his determination to get Myra. There was also a conversation between Myra and Belle after the latter caught on to Tony’s abnormal behavior toward Myra. When Belle tried to intimidate Myra, she denied having been associated with Tony at all.Indeed. Back then, Myra still had nothing to do with Tony, as she was still Sean’s wife. Therefore, she was still turning down Tony’s advances. What have I done to her back then? I blamed her for stealing trade secrets from Chase Group’s Hilliville project, and then hurt her because of Lyla. In the end, I even sent her to a detention center in order to sell off the Hil

Rachel marched in from outside, and the door slammed against the doorframe as she shut it behind her. Cameron’s face darkened as he gave her a cold glare. “Rachel… What’s going on? I don’t recall you making an appointment with me.”“Hah!” She gave him a sarcastic laugh as she headed directly toward the lounge in his office. It only took her one look to notice the video that had been playing on the TV. A rather dejected expression flickered across her face when she saw the figures on the screen, but she hastily curled her lips into a smirk. “We haven’t gotten a divorce, President Stark. I’m still your wife, so do I need to make an appointment just to see you?!”His face only turned darker when he saw her looking at the TV screen. “Well, you’re looking at me now. What do you want?” In the past two days, they had both gotten rid of their facades and exposed their ugliest sides to each other. From then on, Cameron no longer saw the need to put on a show in front of Rachel, and Rachel no l

“You can continue living the life you wish for. You can get married to that woman and move in with your beloved daughter. You all will be a warm and loving family…” Rachel used to work as a host, so she had her way with words. Her speech was constructed in a manner that targeted Cameron’s emotions. Indeed, he felt tempted for a moment, but any hint of weakness or struggle had left his gaze once he blinked and opened his eyes again.Instead, he narrowed his eyes and gave her a threatening glare. “It’d be bad for someone to eat an excessive amount of antipsychotics, but what has that got to do with me? Rachel, you should know that there’s no way out of your wrongs once you’ve committed an unforgivable sin. How are you going to benefit from sending me to jail?” His words had a hidden meaning to them, and he couldn’t stop himself from cackling after he was done with his sentence. Without taking another glance at Rachel, he simply walked out of the lounge. Did she think she’s the only one

Myra was puzzled. Did Sean come up with some new trick just to try to contact me? However, she decided to pick the call up after she heard what Sebastian said. “Hello?” She frowned as she spoke into the phone.A light, breathing sound came from the other end of the line. It sounded as if the other person didn’t know what to say, or it could also be that the person was contemplating whether to say anything at all. For some reason, Myra felt an uneasy feeling in her chest. She somehow sensed that the other person wasn’t Sean.“Hello? Who is this? Is there a reason you’re calling me?” Myra continued to speak on the phone, but the line was cut the moment she finished her sentence. She froze when her words were met with the beeping sound of the call being ended.“Who was it?” Tony asked.She shook her head as she stared at Tony and Sebastian confusedly. “I don’t know who it was. The person ended the call without saying anything.”“That doesn’t make sense. She said that she wanted to speak

“How much is my mother’s treatment fees going to cost, Doctor Randall?” Olivia bit onto her bottom lip worriedly.“I can’t give you an exact sum. The surgery and chemotherapy will cost about 600,000, and there will be extra charges for staying in the hospital as well.” The doctor, Alvin Randall, was aware that this was a large amount of money to ask from any regular family. He knew that Olivia’s family might not have enough savings, but there was nothing he could do to help.“Actually… Olivia, I told you about this in the afternoon. Your mother only has a 5% chance of recovery, so you’ll have to prepare yourself mentally.” Alvin finally gave her this reminder after some hesitation. He was trying to suggest something with his words, but the ultimate choice lay in the hands of the family members—they would have to decide if they wanted to proceed or give up with treatment. In such situations, the patients would often opt for giving up. However, Olivia had requested to hide the truth fro

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
