Standing before love I’m scared
All of the men turned their heads toward her when they saw her, and Myra instantly realized that she had made a bad decision when she saw the look in the men’s eyes. Running away was no longer an option to her right then; the moment her footsteps came to a halt, four or five big-sized men ran toward her and crowded behind her as they forced Myra to continue moving forward. She saw Tilly a distance away from her—the young girl was being pushed toward her by another man. Tilly immediately let out a loud cry the moment she saw Myra. “Miss Stark… I’m so afraid…” After all, she was just a young girl who hadn’t even graduated from university yet; she had never expected herself to encounter such an incident. Myra was just as afraid right then, but she had no choice except to put on a calm front as she walked over and held onto Tilly’s hand. Myra then turned to look at the leader of the group of men. “Where’s David? Why haven’t I seen him anywhere at all?” David was another foreman Myra had o

As they walked out of the hut, they were greeted with the sight of all of the rioting workers being restrained by the armed police. While the workers were all huddled up in a spot, the team leader of the police force frowned when he saw the girl in Tony’s arms. “Director Hart, she’s supposed to go to the station to give a statement…” he muttered carefully. But before he could finish his sentence, Tony threw him an icy glare that silenced him immediately. “Officer Wayne, we have another witness here; she can follow you back to the station if you need a statement.” Leo hastily spoke up. Wayne nodded. “All right, that’s great.” Leo noticed how Myra seemed to be trembling in Tony’s arms, so he took his own coat off to cover her with it. However, before he could do so, Tony took a step away from him to avoid Leo’s coat. Leo scratched his nose awkwardly. Well, at least I feel relieved now that everything’s over, he thought to himself. After he had gotten off the call with Myra earlier, Leo

She uttered the word ‘hospital’ in a hushed and awkward tone, seeming as though she wasn’t hoping to be heard by the man in front of her.“What happened? It’s an emergency! Myra, hurry over to Chase Group and tell Sean that I’m on my way back from Springdale City. I’m getting off the freeway soon and I’ll be stopping by Chase Group.”Eve’s voice was filled with urgency, and Myra’s brows knitted in confusion.Is it because of what happened at the construction site last night?She regained her composure. “I’m okay, Mom. Those people yesterday… They weren’t able to hurt me much. The police are also investigating it, so it should be fine.”“What are you talking about, Myra?!” Eve exclaimed, her tone laced with slight irritation. “What do you mean it’s fine? Sean told me about the incident where confidential information about the Hilliville Project had been stolen. Now that the company’s funding chains have been cut and properties are left barren, business can’t go on as usual at all. Did

Initially, Sean was still in the United States when the incident happened; he had no choice but to return early after realizing how serious the matter was. He already suspected that there might have been some mistake and had wanted to talk it out with Myra, but seeing her hostile attitude toward himself angered him even more. Recalling the photo that he’d just seen in Lyla’s phone, rage thrummed through his veins.Seeing Sean on his side was more than enough to give Mr. Xavier a confidence boost. “I know Miss Stark is just reluctant to admit it. Nonetheless, you should know that we’re not making blind accusations at you right now, Miss Stark. We have witnesses and proof. Come on, Felicia—tell her what happened.”After she was signaled by Mr. Xavier, a woman timidly stepped forward from the group of secretaries. She took a quick glance at Myra before looking down right away, seemingly intimidated by her. She stuttered, “Miss Stark had come looking for Director Chase on the day he left

Myra knew exactly what was going on, but she also knew that no one was going to believe her no matter how she tried to explain herself. Instead, she put on a humorless smile and replied, “I’ve got nothing to say.”Without haste, Mr. Xavier turned to the group of people behind him. “Tsk-tsk… Looks like Miss Stark has finally decided to confess. What are we waiting for? Someone call the police! Leaking company information is not a trivial matter, and we’d better leave it to the police.”He was wearing a huge smile on his face, thinking that his words had easily planted fear in Myra. To his shock, she only smiled and nodded. “I think we should inform the police as well. I’ll be getting a lawyer to settle the case. Well then, can I leave now?”Seeing her casual behavior and aloof way of accepting the decision, Sean was completely infuriated. He stood up and went up to Myra slowly. Over the past few days, his heart was filled with regret as he was feeling guilty toward Myra.All these year

Sean had never seen this side of Myra. Suddenly, there was an odd feeling in his chest; it was as if he had taken pity on her. However, he quickly remembered that she was the same woman who had recently revealed her true intentions. He forced himself to stick to his decision. Myra was wicked and despicable! How could he ever take pity on her?!“So you’re not admitting what you’ve done?” Sean’s expression remained still as a pond.“Make a police report if you want. Whatever it is, I’ll never admit to something I didn’t do! Never!”Myra didn’t want to be around these people a second longer, proceeding to whirl and stomp outside.As the elevator stopped on the floor and opened with a ding, Eve was seen rushing out hastily.Meanwhile, Myra quickly stepped into the elevator and pressed a button before Eve could make out who she was.By the time Eve finally realized and shouted after her, the elevator door had closed and was already rapidly descending.The surrounding atmosphere was still a

As if feeling Myra’s gaze on him, he flinched ever so slightly as he was holding the golf club. Turning to hand it over to an employee, he nodded at the middle-aged man next to him and headed toward Myra’s direction.Myra could see that he was coming over, but her eyes fell upon a woman standing beside him who was holding a warm towel in her hands.The woman was no stranger to her; she was Belle Bridgers, the daughter of the middle-aged man standing next to Tony, Director Bridgers. She had just returned from studying abroad in the United States. Myra knew exactly what was going on from the way the woman’s eyes twinkled as she looked up at Tony when he had holed the ball earlier. It was even a little uncomfortable to watch.It wasn’t until Tony arrived before her that she recovered from her thoughts. Looking at him, she asked hesitantly, “Am I… interrupting something?”Tony stared back at her, his eyes steady.He knew all too well about what had happened after she left his office in th

She thought that she had just done a great job of saving Tony from an awkward situation. Little did she know that for a split second, irritation flashed across his eyes when she referred to Myra as his groveling employee.Director Bridger’s expression brightened up after his daughter’s comforting comment. “Tony, let’s not beat around the bush anymore. Our families are quite a matching pair, and my daughter here is a woman unlike any other, if I may say so myself. Should we sit down somewhere and talk about this?”He was straight to the point this time; he didn’t feel the need to be indirect about it anymore.Belle blushed bright red on the spot, sheepishly taking a brief glance at Tony. She stamped her feet in embarrassment and said, “What are you talking about, Dad?! How can you say something like that straight to his face…”She stamped her feet again and bit her lip nervously, apparently overwhelmed with awkwardness. With that, she quickly ran off to the lounging area nearby.Direct

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
