Standing before love How did this happen
As soon as she entered the car, the cool air slightly alleviated the summer heat.The man in the car leaned against the backseat with his eyes closed. He had a rather wide forehead and a straight nose; although his deep, narrow eyes were shut, it did not hide his handsome features. His physique and facial features made him look like a foreigner, which radiated an aura of elegance in each and every movement of his.Upon hearing Myra’s words, Tony opened his eyes and he slightly nodded without even shooting her a glance.However, he suddenly turned to look at her. “How did this happen?” He stretched his long, slender hands and touched her chin, which now showed red terrifying fingerprints.Tony frowned slightly as his gaze became colder.Myra was shocked by what she saw. Even though his fingers had only lightly touched her chin, she felt as though she had been scorched and turned away reflexively. “It’s nothing,” she replied in a low voice.When she turned, her fair neck was revealed an

If he really can’t keep to his promise, I can walk home too. Southern Hill is not a small area, but it’s not gigantic either. Apart from that, it would be for the best if he could really clear my name from the accusation of plagiarism.As soon as Myra thought about that, she stopped speaking and quietly looked outside the car window.From the corner of his eyes, Tony slightly arched his good-looking eyebrows when he saw her small face had darkened.The car was soon driven to the mansion region, which was surrounded by a garden.Southern Hill was the paradise for many wealthy people, but a mansion as big as the Hart Residence could not be found—even in the area.It took almost five minutes for the car to be driven from the main gate to a building that looked like a castle with European architecture.Soon, the car came to a tall fountain that resembled a swan. Next to it was a huge mansion with white walls and red bricks that were surrounded by trees; the place looked impressive and int

When Myra and Henry raised their heads, they saw a slender woman standing at the other end of the fountain, which was not far from them. Even though the woman was already in her late thirties, she looked like she was barely 30 years old. Although she was elegant, there was a hint of worry and sorrow on her face that Myra detected at that moment.On the other hand, after Tony entered the mansion, a maid took his coat from him and placed a pair of indoor slippers in front of him.“Young Master Tony, Old Master Hart has been waiting for you in the study for a while.”With that, she smartly retreated to the kitchen.As soon as he knocked on the door to enter, a voice commanded loudly from the room, “Wait at the door!”Even though it was a rather old voice, it was still full of strength. It was obvious from his tone that the man in the room was not in a good mood.Tony arched his eyebrows as he closed the door of the study and obediently obeyed the order—he stood straight on the spot witho

After a while, the woman finally lifted her head and spoke to Henry gently, “Both Mommy and Daddy still love you very much, and it’s just that we are not staying together anymore. If you miss Daddy, I’ll still bring you over to him, alright?”Sure enough, he has family problems—looks like his parents are getting a divorce.Myra merely stood aside quietly while Henry lowered his head sadly.It was only at this moment that the woman noticed Myra.“And you are?” she asked awkwardly yet curiously.“This is Uncle Tony’s… friend, Myra,” Henry said in a low voice after the topic was changed.He snuck out of the woman’s embrace and walked to Myra. “She lost her way just now so I brought her back.”“Hello.” Feeling slightly nervous, Myra tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled at the woman.If my guess is correct, this woman should be Tony’s eldest sister, Serena Hart, who happily married into the Reyer Family with a huge dowry. This is so unexpected…Serena was not in a good mood recently,

Tony did not turn around but his side profile looked cold and serious. Myra had no idea what he discussed with Old Master Hart upstairs, but she assumed that it did not go well.Tony never glanced back and he did not utter a word. Instead, he merely tightened his grip on her hand.When they reached the car, Leo quickly opened the door of the backseat for them.Tony let Myra get into the car first before he followed from behind. All this while, he did not let go of her hand at all.After the both of them got into the car, Myra shot a tentative glance at him. His lips were pressed tightly together and he had a deep frown on his face that made his expression look dark. However, he seemed to have forgotten the hand he had been holding.“Director Hart…” Myra said his name worriedly again. It was only now that he seemed to hear her. Following her gaze, he saw that he had been holding her hand and with narrowed eyes, he slowly let her go.Myra heaved a sigh of relief. Even though the atmosph
Last Updated : 2024-08-14Standing before love Tony is a man of his word
Myra was touched upon seeing this. It was likely that Tony gave such an order because he was worried that the people from the Hart Group might make snide comments in front of her. After all, the rumors of her plagiarism had spread throughout the Hart Group as well.When Myra reached the 48th floor, she entered Tony’s office. At this moment, Sasha was already there and Tony was sitting behind his office table, with his crossed fingers supporting his forehead. Through the windows, sunlight shone on his back and the outline of his figure glimmered slightly.“Director Hart, Miss Stark is here.”After hearing Leo’s voice, Tony raised his head and his eyes narrowed. Then, he leaned backward in the chair. His facial features were perfectly exquisite and well-defined, and he was also tall and well-built. He was dominant yet not ostentatious, sharp yet not ruthless, and there was a hint of laziness as he leaned backward at this moment. Tony had completely dominated Sasha’s field of sight now.

“Director Hart… Tony…” She took a deep breath and with a shy expression, she murmured, “You misunderstood me the last time. I’ve never even looked at other men. Perhaps you are unaware of this, but ever since I saw you at Old Master Hart’s birthday celebration, it was love at first sight. I fell in love with you uncontrollably…”As she walked closer to him, the sorrow and shyness in her eyes became more apparent. Just as she was about to reach him, he suddenly asked, “Miss Hay, do you want me to give you another warning?”He slowly took out a cigarette and lit it. Compared to her passionate advances, he was like an iceberg.“I know you must be angry at me for not knowing my employee’s character. But if you delete the picture, Tony, everything can still be salvaged. Tony—”“Who gave you the permission to call my name?” Tony breathed out a puff of smoke. When he turned around to look at her, there was annoyance in his eyes.His sensual look right now was precisely the reason Sasha fell

“This is what you get for plagiarizing the Hay Group’s design! Speaking of which, didn’t you draw a portrait for Director Hart? Why didn’t he speak up for you in front of the Hay Group?” Elsie sneered, buzzing with the anticipation of throwing Myra out of the Chase Group.Myra, however, merely smirked in response. With a cold gleam in her eyes, she marched straight into Mr. Xavier’s office.“Trouble-seeking w*nch!” Elsie cursed aloud, her eyes flashing wickedly. She stood outside the door, waiting to see what Myra was getting up to.It wasn’t long after Myra went in when the door to Mr. Xavier’s office opened again.This time, it was Mr. Xavier himself who stood in the doorway. Fury belied his thunderous face. He had thrown open the door in a fit of rage and everyone in the design department jumped as the door swung back and forth on its hinges, banging loudly against the wall.A pleased look passed over Elsie’s face. With the way things were going, Myra might end up leaving Bradfort

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
