Standing before love Don’t you know
As though absentmindedly, Leo shifted his body as he addressed Myra, thereby blocking Gideon’s line of sight.No longer in the mood to try on the other dresses after seeing Kris in the atelier, Myra nodded and answered, “I’ll be wearing this one.”Just as Leo was about to inform her that Tony was on his way, the stormy-faced man standing off to one side broke into an icy smirk. He then walked up to them with his arm around Kris’ waist and asked, “Mr. Clark, are you not going to introduce us?”As soon as the words were out of his mouth, his eyes fell on Myra.Leo’s face was impassive when he heard this, and he was perfunctory as he addressed Gideon and Myra respectively. “This is Miss Stark, Director Hart’s fiancée; Miss Stark, this is Director Walton.”Then, he turned to look at Gideon and said stoically, “Now, if you’ll excuse us, DirectorWalton. Director Hart is on his way.”With that, Leo gave Myra a look and indicated for her to head toward the exit. However, just as they were ab

Myra looked at him speechlessly. “Of course I know. Today is your birthday, right?”Tony pursed his thin lips while a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes.She suddenly caught his right hand and lowered her head before planting a kiss on the back of his hand. “Happy Birthday, Tony!”She then raised her head and looked at the man, who was driving beside her, with sincere eyes.However, not only did Tony not drop the frown, his expression actually darkened instead and he retracted his hand without replying to her.She caught a glimpse of his expression with the corner of her eye, which put a smile on her face and made her clutch the phone in her handbag tightly.And so, Tony, who was most likely sulking, did not try to make any conversation with her throughout the journey. Although Myra tried to talk to him, he either gave her perfunctory replies or he sometimes even ignored her completely.Soon, the two of them arrived at their destination.At this moment, all sorts of luxur

As they were standing right at the entrance of Ritz Carlton, it was only natural to have countless pairs of eyes watching them at that moment.Just as Myra almost died of embarrassment, a pair of hands took her into his embrace and led her into the hall. Throughout all this, the man did not forget to glance at the crowd before them with a slight smile. “Thank you all for attending my banquet at the Ritz Carlton. I hope that all of you will enjoy yourselves tonight,” Tony announced in a calm voice, as if kissing a woman in front of the crowd was no big deal. He then chivalrously led Myra toward the center of the hall.The next instant, the crowd suddenly burst into an uproar.Recently, the fiancée of the Hart Family’s successor had caused quite a stir in Bradfort City and became the source of gossip and scandal, especially her entanglement with the successor of the Chase Group, Sean Chase, as well as her relationship with the man who was standing before them now. Their relationship—whi

As for Kris, she was following them from behind.When she went to the airport to pick this group of people up, she noticed that the elders of the Walton Family were displeased with her. However, they were not mean to her, but that was probably due to Gemma’s presence.It was at that moment that she knew that she had to keep a low profile to prevent the Waltons from picking on her faults.…Tony, who remembered that Myra had not eaten much that night, ordered a waiter to send them a piece of cake. It was a matcha-flavored cake, which was something that she fancied. However, much to his surprise, the taste made her feel nauseous as soon as she took a bite.When he noticed that she did not look good, Tony furrowed his brows and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Is it not to your liking? I will ask the waiter to get you something else.”“It’s fine. Maybe I took too much alcohol earlier, so it’s making my stomach uncomfortable. I’ll be fine after drinking some plain water, though.”There was a

Gemma’s action of apologizing to Myra in front of everyone eased Sebastian’s gloomy expression. Nobody can mess with the future daughter-in-law of the Hart Family!As it was not the Hart Family’s intention to drive the Walton Family into a corner, Sebastian darted a calm look at his grandson, Tony, when he heard Old Master Walton’s words. Tony raised an eyebrow and did not say anything, so Sebastian smiled and nodded. “It was merely a small conflict between the young ones. Everything will be fine once they talk things out.”When the Waltons heard that, their expressions eased a little.After the two families chatted for a while, the Hart Family left and returned to the crowd with the excuse that they had other things to attend to, leaving the Walton Family standing on the spot awkwardly.It was only when the Hart Family had left that Old Master Walton’s expression instantly fell and gloom spread across his face. To him, the Hart Family’s attitude toward them was akin to humiliating hi
Last Updated : 2024-10-23Standing before love Why did you suddenly do that
Sean’s voice was filled with anger. Myra was initially mine! She was mine! Then, she was snatched by the man on the other end of the line with dirty tricks! No, that man can’t possibly be sincere to her. He must be scheming something!His eyes were red. For the past few days, he had been searching for evidence day and night, but all he found were basically his presumptions.Suddenly, someone knocked on his office door.He hung up the call and massaged his temple in exhaustion.When the matter that he had been investigating slowly surfaced, Tony and Myra’s intimate relationship was also gradually revealed to him.Sean was baffled by the news. Myra was still deeply in love with him a few months ago, and in the blink of an eye, she fell in love with another man. How was that possible?He closed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Come in.”The door to his office was pushed open and Lyla slowly walked in.She seemed healthier than before; it was probably because she felt that the crisis wa

Lyla’s back was drenched with cold sweat as an unprecedented panic and fear filled her chest.“Sean, I am not sure what you heard and from whom… But, you have seen the trade secrets of the Hilliville project from Chase Group. The video recording is concrete proof that Myra stole it. Besides, I do not understand what is happening with Chase Group’s Hilliville. I merely provided a client for Chase Group to solve their emergency matters. Why are you making it sound like I have done something horrible to the Chase Group?!” The more she talked about it, the more convincing she sounded.This is especially true for the Chase Group’s HIllville project. During that time, there happened to be an issue with the Chase Group’s funding chain. If I hadn’t provided them with clients at that time, Chase Group wouldn’t have been out of crisis! I know the reason why Sean is investigating me. It is all thanks to Myra! He rarely comes home nowadays and it is usually in the middle of the night even if he r

“Mrs. Walton, you did yell for somebody to stop, but you did not mention anybody’s name. Besides, it didn’t sound like how an elder would behave toward the younger generation. Well, excuse me, I wasn’t aware that you were asking me to hold up, Mrs. Walton,” Myra retorted calmly without backing down.Shelly was rendered speechless by Maya’s response and her chest started to heave in anger.“Well, don’t you have a smart mouth? However, I heard that your mother passed away early in life, so I suppose this is expected since she couldn’t educate you well. In any case, as this is a banquet by the Hart Family, you should take note of your behavior, Miss Stark. Please know your place because things will turn ugly if you were to stir up trouble.”Myra hated it whenever others mentioned her mother in such a condescending tone. Hence, her expression darkened immediately. She had been in a foul mood from the beginning and her mind was now in a mess, so she answered harshly, “My mother passed away

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
