Standing before love Their first meeting
On the night of the banquet, Myra and Tony were dressed glamorously for the event—a sophisticated presentation was the best weapon on such occasions. The couple put on a solemn expression as they entered the venue. They knew that this invitation couldn’t be as simple as it seemed, so they had to be prepared to handle any situation seriously.Tony stole a glance at Myra who was beside him; she was wearing a turquoise dress which brought out her bright complexion wonderfully, making her look more beautiful than ever.Even though her waist wasn’t as slim as before, her current supple and full figure added a touch of womanly charm! The gown accentuated her elegant posture, and every move she made was filled with charisma befitting of a young mistress.Myra was able to recognize Matthias in the midst of the huge crowd after seeing his photo beforehand. She asked Tony in a low voice, “Should we go to him?”Tony was exchanging greetings with his fellow attendees, so he took a half-hearted gl

Just as Tony had predicted, halfway through the banquet, Matthias suddenly grabbed a microphone and the lively hall instantly fell so silent that only Matthias’s voice could be heard.“Thank you everyone for taking the time to attend my dinner banquet. I have been in Bradfort City for some time now, and I would like to thank you all for your care. I love this city and I am planning to move the Locke Group from Tasnia City to Bradfort City. I hope that we can continue to be great friends. I have lots to learn from all of you in the business world,” Matthias said tactfully in a humble tone. However, the cheeky smile on his face was an eyesore.After hearing Matthias’s speech, the crowd clapped loudly. Tony joined in, but he looked at Matthias with his eyebrows raised. Turns out that Matthias is planning to move the Locke Group to Bradfort City. That’s big news.On the way home, Myra and Tony sat in the backseat. Tony had drunk alcohol and couldn’t drive, so they called the Hart family’s

The couple made love passionately and fell asleep at 3:00 AM. Sleeping late several nights in a row was bad for their health, and Myra felt dizzy.The next day, Myra woke up at lunchtime. Early that morning, Tony had already given orders to not wake Myra up from her sleep.Pregnant women needed more rest. Although Myra planned to wake up early the night before, she had overslept and her whole morning was gone.After lunch, Myra drove straight to Stark Group. It had been a long time since she last visited Stark Group, so she was curious to see what the company looked like. Besides that, with Matthias’ intervention, the internal affairs in Stark Group now were even more complicated.At the lobby of Stark Group, Myra coincidentally bumped into Cameron. Their gazes met for a moment before they both hurriedly looked away.Myra didn’t want to greet Cameron. The thought of his evil misdeeds made her nauseous. My father is only capable of giving me endless despair.However, surprisingly, Came

Myra had been treating Cameron with disregard even since the beginning of the conversation. Even though she was curious to know who Matthias really was, she didn’t want to meet him in private.With that, Cameron left without achieving his goal. What am I supposed to say to Matthias? It’s embarrassing to fail my promise. The more Cameron thought about it, the more frustrated he felt.That evening, Tony personally drove to Stark Group to pick Myra up from work. Myra, who was helpless and frustrated, immediately felt better when she saw Tony.“It looks like you are even busier than I am,” Tony said seriously. Myra ignores her health when she gets immersed in work. I should give her a spanking on the butt for that.Myra glanced at the clock and was taken aback. “I didn’t realize that it’s already this late.” No wonder Tony came to pick me up.“Aren’t you going to pack up and go home?” The person who cared about Myra’s health the most was Tony.“I’m coming!” Myra replied and stretched lazi
Last Updated : 2024-11-30Standing before love How could he reconcile
Facing Matthias’ confrontation, Myra couldn’t think of a way to deal with him at the moment, and her silence made him want to push his luck all the more.“Since Miss Stark has no objection, let’s have coffee together,” Matthias said in a casual manner. Nevertheless, he wore a threatening look.“It’s office hour now,” Myra reminded Matthias as she was not keen to have coffee with him at all. “Besides, I shouldn’t take coffee because I’m pregnant.”Matthias wasn’t too bothered about Myra’s rejection, but he frowned involuntarily when he heard her say she was pregnant.In fact, he had long heard of the news concerning Myra and Tony, so he knew everything about Myra like the back of his hand. He was even aware that she was pregnant for three months. Nonetheless, when he heard Myra say this to him in person, he still couldn’t accept that the person who made a promise to him back then had both her appearance and heart changed.How could he reconcile himself to the fact that his childhood sw
Last Updated : 2024-11-30Standing before love Couldn’t remember at all
Her memories were hazy and vague. For a brief moment, she felt like she managed to grasp onto something, but unfortunately, it slipped away from her again. In the end, she couldn’t remember anything at all.No matter how hard she tried to recall, nothing came to mind. Memories that flashed quickly in her mind seemed like a dream that was out of reach. Myra stared at Matthias across from her in frustration, and in the end, she still couldn’t remember how she was related to him.When dessert was served, they both ate in silence. Matthias had ordered a glass of warm milk for her, as he thought it would be safe for pregnant women.Just as he said, the colorful fruit cake was delicious. This dessert shop had really good desserts that weren’t too sweet and had a nice texture.Neither of them spoke to break the silence. Myra lowered her head and ate the piece of cake in front of her quietly.Meanwhile, Matthias would occasionally raise his head to look at her with a doting look in his eyes.

After refusing Matthias’ kindness, Myra returned to her office alone. Because of that text message, she felt delighted. Her best friend was coming home from abroad, and she would be able to see her childhood friend very soon. There were so many things she wanted to tell her.Myra’s childhood friend, Heather Langston, was a real scholar. She had been studying abroad for her PhD, and she had finally graduated. It had been a long time since they spoke since Heather was always busy with her studies and simply couldn’t spare the time. On top of that, Myra had also been busy with one thing after another, so both of them didn’t have the time to catch up at all.Now, there wasn’t much on Myra’s plate, and Heather was coming back. She was over the moon at the thought of reuniting.Myra was contemplating on inviting Tony when she picked Heather up at the airport. Since they hadn’t met yet, she decided to ask for his opinion.In the evening, Tony came to Stark Group to pick Myra up. As soon as h

She was wearing a plain T-shirt that hung loosely on her body. A casual attire on a supermodel’s figure and a pretty face no doubt attracted everyone’s attention.Even the simplest outfit on her would give off a sense of uniqueness. While others were wearing beautiful clothes to make themselves look better, she was born with a perfect body that looked good no matter what she wore.With this first impression of her, Tony politely gazed at Heather, whose eyes swept over him. When they made eye contact, she seemed to be sizing him up.Immediately, Myra introduced Tony to her. “Heather, this is my fiancé, Tony Hart.” With two of the most important people standing by her side, Myra felt incredibly happy.“Hello.” Heather took the initiative to greet Tony with an intriguing look in her eyes.Without delay, Tony responded politely, “Nice to meet you.” They were extremely formal with each other.On the other hand, Myra could sense that something wasn’t right between the two. When one strong p

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
