Standing before love A misunderstanding
Since she was unable to stand the man’s gaze any longer, Heather asked without mincing her words, “Has Grandpa been here today?” She felt she was too unlucky—why would she run into this annoying guy by mischance?The golf course manager shook his head. “I didn’t see Old Master Langston today.”Heather stared right into the depths of the golf course manager’s eyes. After a long time, she said frostily, “You’re lying.”Perhaps she shouldn’t expose his lies so directly, but Heather decided to take a gamble. The golf course manager was obviously lying; if Robert had never been here, why hadn’t Blake come out after going inside for such a long time? There must be a plot behind this.Heather tried hard to recall if the Langston Family had offended anyone lately, but she couldn’t think of anyone after racking her brains. Someone had to be plotting against the Langston Family, or such a fishy thing wouldn’t have happened. Besides, she could feel Robert’s presence here. Heather was a very sens

Heather’s car sped throughout the entire journey. Since she had never been treated like this by Robert before, she directed all her rage at her car.Meanwhile, Blake’s heart leaped in his throat for her as he followed behind Heather’s car. Considering how fast her car was going, it would be strange if Heather didn’t get into an accident. He kept praying that nothing would happen to Heather, for Robert would certainly blame him if she got into one.However, even if Heather didn’t care for her life while she was on the road, Blake still wanted to live to see tomorrow. Soon, he ended up lagging behind and eventually lost sight of her.Blake thought that Heather must have returned to the Langston Residence, so he took a nearby shortcut and rushed over there. However, when he reached his destination, he saw no trace of her car. After waiting for her inside the house, there was still no sign of Heather even when Robert arrived. The first thing Robert asked was Heather’s whereabouts.Blake l

As Leon chatted with her, Heather fell asleep. He called her a few times, but she didn’t answer. Nonetheless, he couldn’t bring himself to end the video call as he watched her sleeping visage. He even put aside his mobile game, opting to watch Heather instead.Now that he thought about it, it was a nice thing to be able to just go nuts with Heather; the corners of Leon’s lips soon lifted into a wide smile. In truth, Leon had been the crazier one during their conversation. There was a thin line between genius and insanity, after all.Leon placed his tablet to the side and watched Heather sleep like that. She was deep in slumber, and it seemed like the woman had gone through a lot today for an absolutely spirited woman.“It looks like the days were torture on you,” Leon said to the sleeping Heather.Leon had already decided to completely leave Heather behind him, for her conflict with Matthias actually made Leon jealous. After all, Matthias was someone who could make Heather crash her c

Now that they were in Venezuela, Myra and Tony hugged each other intimately after they finished touring Canaima National Park. Since they were staying at the presidential suite this time around, they could roll around the huge bed in any way that they liked.When they woke up, he gently kissed her forehead as he revealed a slight smile on his face. Even though he had been quite disturbed by the stalker, he felt as though all his troubles had melted away when he hugged her in his arms.Myra had been a light sleeper as of late. Even though it was a gentle kiss, it had woken her up. With an apologetic look on his face, Tony asked, “Did I wake you up?” Of course he wanted her to have a longer sleep.“I’m easily woken up these days.” On top of being pregnant, the bad encounter had also made her unable to be sound asleep.However, it was not necessarily safe for them to return to Bradfort City either. The mastermind who hired the stalker to follow them could be waiting at Bradfort City for

Under the bright moonlight, Bradfort City was illuminated with the festive decorations. The Hart Family was also undeniably quite busy. Apart from Myra and Tony, everyone else including Tony’s eldest brother were home for the Lantern Festival.Shawn had received Tony’s message when he was at the dinner table. When Tony found out about the stalker, he immediately sent the person’s information to Shawn. Since the family was having a great time around the dinner table, Shawn did not want to interfere with the great atmosphere and remained silent about the matter.Only Shawn and Sebastian were initially the ones to have known about the matter. Since others were in the dark, Shawn had to find another time to speak to Sebastian about this.However, things became increasingly complicated. Before this, all the possible reasons that were hypothesized by Ben and Shawn for Tony and Myra being stalked were refuted. After all, all they could think of was their business enemies. However, a normal b

The hair on Heather’s forehead gently swayed with the breeze as she appraised the guest before she retracted her gaze. The guest meaningfully and playfully looked at her, making her feel as though he had locked her with his gaze.After momentarily meeting her gaze, he turned his eyes to another direction as he walked slowly toward them. However, she kept her gaze on him until he spoke in a low voice that was quite unfamiliar to her.However, he was a familiar face to her because they had just met at the golf course yesterday. Today, he unexpectedly appeared at the Langston Residence as a precious guest of her family.Heather did not understand the twists and turns of the events, but she was rather vigilant about it and it was reflected in the defensive approach in her eyes.“Old Master Langston,” he broke the silence and started the conversation with Robert. She was not used to the way he accurately pronounced each word that made him sound like a professional news reporter. He seemed

The meal had made everyone in the Langston Family quite nervous. Upon seeing Robert’s attitude toward Caleb, everyone was doubting Caleb’s position.Because Robert did not introduce Caleb to the Langston Family and Caleb did not make his position clear, the rest of the family members did not know how they should treat him.On the other hand, even though Heather knew his high-ranking position, she was quite indifferent as it was nothing to her and she had no interest in the military. After all, not only was she a talented businesswoman, she also liked entrepreneurs more than military men.An outstanding entrepreneur would warrant second glances from her, but sometimes she also wondered why she had her eyes on entrepreneurs. It was as if she had decided that she wanted her future husband to be involved in business.After the lunch, Caleb showed no signs of leaving, but Heather wanted to look for an excuse to return to her room. However, his occasional glances at her made her swallow her

After walking out of the study, Robert asked Heather to do something that she enjoyed. She thought about the date with Matthias and wanted to seek an answer from Robert’s eyes, but she could only see exhaustion, so she left him alone.She had no idea what came to her in the morning until she canceled her date with Matthias. If she could turn back time, she should have merely postponed it. Feeling troubled, she opened her Messenger and clicked on his chat bubble even though she had no idea how to explain it to him.‘Do you have time to meet me now?’She quickly finished typing a simple reply, but she did not send it out.After thinking about it, Heather deleted the message, thinking that it was perhaps not that appropriate to be so direct with him. Looking at the message she sent in the morning, she did not feel too happy about it.‘It’s the Lantern Festival today and I have some family business to attend to. Why don’t we meet another day?’She slightly regretted her decision to send t

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
