Standing before love She is not a woman
“Trying to hit on Myra?” Sean felt pain shooting up from his abdomen but couldn’t care less about it at the moment. His eyes were slightly reddened like a cornered beast’s. Looking at Tony, he sneered, “Just who is the one trying to hit on Myra here? If it wasn’t for you, Director Hart, the person accompanying her to the mall right now would be me!”“You?” Tony raised his long and slanted eyebrows slightly while flicking the ash off his cigarette. “Why don’t you tell me, Director Chase; just how many times have you ever accompanied her to the mall in the past two years? Or, should I say…” He took a drag on his cigarette, his eyes growing frosty. “How many times have you accompanied other women to the mall before?”Sean’s expression changed greatly. “This is between us as husband and wife. It is none of your business.”“Ex-husband and ex-wife.” Tony narrowed his eyes. A dark emotion flowed through his eyes as he spat out the words, “One that exists in name only.”For an instant, Sean f

Myra felt something warm budding in her heart. Reaching out, she grabbed his hand that was pretending to take stuff out of the small shopping cart and interlaced her fingers with his. Then, she softly said, “I’ll just order them online for her. You don’t need to put any of the stuff you like back.”Tony lifted his eyebrow at her and wryly said, “That’s not good, is it?”Looking at his insincere and sanctimonious attitude, she squeezed his fingers hard. I’ve never seen a more shameless man than this guy. At the same time, she exasperatedly said, “It doesn’t matter. We bought enough today anyway.”Only then did he seem satisfied. He twisted his hand out of her grip to hold her hand instead while pushing the shopping cart along as he continued onward. She watched as the corners of his mouth lifted into the faintest smile. It was hard for her to imagine his cold and indifferent appearance, and her heart softened even more.Finally, they pushed the shopping cart over to the cashier to chec

Not long after, the car arrived at a small residential area and stopped in front of a villa located in the deepest part of the area. The villa was not very large, but it was very exquisite. There was a small garden inside; various flowers and plants also trailed down from the second-floor balcony. There were white tiles, red brick walls, wooden fences, and even a small pond inside the garden. Beside the pond stood a cherry tree, giving the entire garden an idyllic feeling.A caretaker stood outside the villa. When he saw Tony’s car, he hurriedly came forward to take the keys from Tony and opened the garage door on the first floor. Upon returning the keys, he heard Tony’s indifferent voice saying, “Close the garage door behind you.”The caretaker seemed taken aback for a moment. However, he quickly nodded in response and left, not forgetting to close the garage door behind him.When Myra heard what Tony said to the caretaker, she immediately became vigilant and wanted to get out of the

Kris was way more intelligent than Sasha. She pretended not to know who Sebastian was at the start so that she could take her time and create a good impression on him. Although this trick might work on ordinary old men, Sebastian had seen all sorts of tricks in his life. Therefore, he simply glanced at her indifferently before turning back to continue ringing the doorbell.She couldn’t help feeling somewhat humiliated when she saw that he was ignoring her. She was about to say something. At that moment, he muttered under his breath after being ignored despite ringing the doorbell several times, “Strange; what is going on? I clearly saw them heading here. Why is nobody answering the door? Could it be that they didn’t come here?”He had left the clubhouse out of boredom today. Thus, he asked his driver to turn the car around and head to the mall instead. He suddenly had a craving for fish, especially the steamed fish Myra made the other day. As soon as his car entered the underground pa

My little grandson has always been rebellious and undisciplined. I shouldn’t have sent him to the United States back then. All he did there was learn a bunch of bad habits! It’s still broad daylight outside, how can he be so depraved?! Sebastian’s aged face turned even redder. He also became angrier. “If you don’t open the door, I will call Myra instead! She will surely open the door for me!”He acted as if he was going to call Myra with the phone in his hand. In reality, he was only friends with her on Facebook. He did not have her phone number. He had messaged her on Messenger, but she had yet to reply to him. He also called Tony’s number just now, but Tony’s phone had been turned off. If Kris had not mentioned that she saw Myra and Tony heading inside, I would have left a long time ago!At the mention of Myra’s name, Tony narrowed his eyes slightly. Meanwhile, Sebastian stared straight into Tony’s eyes. Their gazes collided and clashed like a lightning storm. After a long while, To

Admit it; you like this, don’t you?” Tony pulled his lips into a grimace. He turned around and headed into the living room, leaving behind the angry old man.“Only you like this! Your entire family likes it!” Sebastian finished speaking, only to realize that his statement included himself. Thus, his aged face was so furious that even more wrinkles appeared. Lisa is still the best. She doesn’t upset me like this. All of a sudden, he felt as if he had wasted an entire afternoon away when he could have had lunch with his wife instead. Why did I visit this stupid couple just to make myself angry? How stupid of me!While Myra was busying herself in the kitchen, Tony settled some company affairs with his laptop in the living room while Sebastian pretended to read the newspaper next to him. One hour later, lunch was served.Sebastian wasn’t sure if it was done on purpose. However, all of his favorite dishes were placed in front of him. Meanwhile, Tony only had a plate of plain spinach in fro

“Heh…” Tony chuckled softly. Even Cameron could hear the deep ridicule hidden within the laughter. Cameron clenched the phone tightly in his hands and asked, “Director Hart, what… is the purpose of your call today?”Tony flicked the ash off his cigarette and faintly replied, “Naturally, I’m here to give my future father-in-law a present. I heard that the Stark Group was trying to obtain the Elsinore Garden Project recently.”As if he didn’t know in the first place. Cameron’s eyes gleamed. “Director Hart, are you—”“I will hand over another 3% of the profits in the Elsinore Garden Project if you let Myra take the position of the Stark Group’s general manager and take charge of this project. What do you think?”Without waiting for Cameron to express his opinion, Tony addressed the person on the other end of the phone as ‘father-in-law’. Then, he said something about handing over the profits to the Stark Group on the condition that Myra took the position as the general manager of the com

That’s why I wanted to quickly wrap Tony around my finger. I did not expect him to be such a difficult man with such a weird state of mind. I can’t figure him out at all!“But, Myra is currently in charge of another project…” Kris refused to give up. She suddenly blurted out, “Besides, Dad, you know that Myra only returned to the Stark Group to retake the company shares from you. Making her the general manager… What if she gradually seizes power and takes control of the Stark Group?!”Cameron’s expression turned grim, but the change was barely visible. He quickly turned around. “Kris, I know what you’re thinking. A man like Tony Hart won’t be satisfied with just one woman—he is well aware of the differences between women. Myra has been abandoned by the Stark Family for a long time. Meeting him was luck and making him reach out to help her was her ability. Still, this kind of ability will not last for long.” At this point, he paused with a rather mocking smile curling the corners of hi

Standing before love Loss of reason
As Heather returned to Langston Group, her mind was full of questions while she troubled herself over the next step. The moment she opened the door to the office, Heather had the urge to cry, but she had no tears to shed. She looked at the man sitting on her seat and gave him a smile that looked worse than crying.“Where’d you go?” Matthias looked at Heather in disdain. It was obvious that he came here to catch her in the act.Matthias’ tone got on Heather’s nerves. She hadn’t even confronted him about the incident the day before, but he dared to use this questioning tone to talk to her.“That’s none of your business. Get off my chair.” Heather wasn’t intimidated in the least. If it weren’t for the glass door, she would’ve made Matthias wish he were dead.She was suddenly impressed by Blake for getting her an office with a glass door. It was crystal clear, so anything that happened on one side of the door could be seen from the other.The transparency restricted Heather’s actions and
Standing before love Business first
In the meantime, Heather noticed her phone ringing a few times but decided to ignore Matthias’ calls and hang them up. Nonetheless, her phone continued to ring again and again, no matter how many times she declined them. Eventually, Heather became annoyed and directly turned off her phone after her refusal to answer the call failed to make Matthias give up.On the other hand, the man lay down his phone in disappointment, surprised that Heather would rather turn off her phone than answer his call. It seems that I really did piss her off pretty badly yesterday. Great! Even Heather won’t talk to me now. At the thought of that, he somehow felt overwhelmed by loneliness.Meanwhile, Heather was bothered by mixed feelings inside her, deeming Matthias capricious and fathomless. Deep down, she reckoned Matthias still stubbornly insisted that it was all her fault for ruining his chance of living a happy life with Myra. Despite her guilt toward him about the things that had happened in the past,
Standing before love No need to do this
Considering her irrational state, Heather was prompted by her instincts to leave the place before the situation turned ugly. Nevertheless, she somehow couldn’t bring herself to simply just walk away because she didn’t know how she could face Matthias again if she opened the door and left like that. At the same time, she was mad and disgusted with herself for taking him into consideration at such a time.“Get out!” Matthias bellowed at Heather, clinging onto the last bit of his rationality.Heather calmly exchanged gazes with Matthias; she looked the man in the eye without even blinking as she refused to leave due to his impertinent attitude. I’m not just some woman whom you could just summon and shoo away as you wish! After all, the man’s mean response somehow hurt her pride.“You told me to follow you, and now you’re asking me to go?” Heather glared at Matthias, as if a fight could break out between them at any minute.Although Matthias was succumbing to his agitated emotions, Heathe
Standing before love Let matthia accept
Right now, Matthias had completely lost his composure and confidence. He was no longer his usual self, and his cowardly character was now totally out in the open. At this moment, Heather could not get away, but she could not ignore him either, so the two embraced each other in a bizarre manner.“Am I a failure?” Like a child, Matthias was curled up in Heather’s arms. He was a tall and burly man, yet he looked especially fragile at this moment.“No. There is no winning or losing when it comes to matters of the heart,” Heather replied gently. Recalling her previous relationship, she also thought at that time that she was a failure.Hearing that, Matthias held back his tears. Men should not shed tears, so he just stared at Heather. With mixed feelings, Heather felt uncomfortable under his stare, and she thought that she saw the old her in his eyes.“You’re not manly at all when you look like this.” Heather slightly raised her eyebrows, trying to ease the tension.At this time, no matter
Standing before love I’m in a hurry to go home
Heather was puzzled after being questioned by Matthias like that. It sounded like there were terrorists who wanted to attack Myra and Tony’s wedding. She was not someone who was willing to be led on like that, so she narrowed her eyes and looked at Matthias indifferently, as if she was watching a show.“Excuse me, but I’m in a hurry to get home.” She completely did not take his words to heart.With Tony’s skills, he was still able to protect Myra, so Heather wasn’t worried at all about what Matthias said.“Heather, please believe me.” Matthias’ eyes widened, making him look a little scary.“You’ve been making a scene all day. What more do you want?” Heather said helplessly. Actually, she felt disappointed in him and wanted to get rid of this annoying man as soon as possible.“Give me half an hour. I really have something very important to say to you.” Matthias was already trying to be very patient, but Heather’s words and actions made him feel really saddened.With a cold huff, Heathe
Standing before love Finding someone
The day of the wedding was approaching, and every day, Myra woke up in a different mood as she felt the subtle changes within her. Every day was a new day; sometimes, it felt like time passed too quickly, and sometimes, it was the complete opposite.Myra instructed Tony to keep a low profile; hence, during these days, Bradfort City was quiet. In fact, Tony had sent out invitations much earlier, so the entire business world knew that he was marrying Myra. Although several media companies got wind of the news, Tony didn’t allow them to report it indiscriminately, so the wedding was a very low-key one.Matthias received the invitation from Tony as well, and when he looked at the invitation in his hand, he felt that it was surreal. Gripping the invitation in his hand until it crumpled, he had no idea how to describe what he felt.Perhaps it was the joy that such an occasion brought with it that cast a peaceful vibe over the entire Bradfort City. Matthias looked at the computer in front of
Standing before love The lover who can do anything
When talking about things like bags, women simply could go on and on. Once again, Heather avoided the part that she didn’t want to talk about, and Myra also had no way to continue to ask her. However, she at least finally understood Heather’s relationship issues.Afterward, when she thought of the fact that Heather had kept such an important thing a secret, Myra felt a thorn in her heart. Nevertheless, she was also hiding something from Heather at the time.Even best friends had secrets that could not be said, so she felt better after comforting herself that way. Now that Heather had revealed this matter, Myra intended to go back to think of a countermeasure because she could not let Heather continue so.While chatting, time passed unknowingly, but the two still had a lot to say. However, Tony then arrived after getting off work, waiting to take Myra home.Glancing at Myra with envy, Heather felt relieved when she knew that Tony truly loved Myra. Just now, Myra had told her about the
Standing before love The one who convinces
She’s hesitating again. Guess I have to ramp up the intensity. It wasn’t every day Heather would talk about her relationship problems, so Myra wanted to teach her everything at once. “You’re still hiding something from me?” Myra asked sternly. She had to do that, or Heather wouldn’t cave in.“It happened back in school.” Heather struggled for a moment before finally deciding to come clean. It had been her little secret for too long, and she never told anyone about it. Now that she looked back on it, Heather thought it was a sweet memory, even though the relationship didn’t end well. It did bud, though.She and that young man were two proud individuals. It was the first time Heather came across someone who was so similar that she felt like he was her other half. It was then she started falling for him.Back then, she had just begun studying abroad in Italy, so everything was new and unfamiliar to her. The good thing was that she finally broke free of her family, and back then, she stil
Standing before love A difficult problem
It’s hard to talk about? Myra’s heart sank, because Heather never described anything that way. She shot Heather a look, telling her to keep talking.“How does it feel to love someone?” Heather asked after much hesitation. She didn’t know how it felt to love someone, nor did she know how to fall for someone.Myra shot her a look of surprise. “You have a crush?” That was the only reason for that question; at least, that was the only one she could think of.Heather shook her head. “No. But I don’t dislike him either. It’s a weird feeling.” Heather looked confused, because even she couldn’t understand the relationship between her and Matthias.Myra stared at her in disbelief. At that moment, she needed Heather to be completely honest with her, or she wouldn’t be able to give her any good advice. “Why’d you ask that question then?” Myra wasn’t about to be fooled. Obviously, she could see that Heather was going through something special in her life, and she could think of nothing else but r
