Tony sped all the way to the well-decorated church that seemed matrimonious. It had been completely arranged to Myra’s liking. He was willing to do anything for her, and he’d always provide her with the best.Guests started to flock to the church as Tony welcomed the guests at the entrance. Meanwhile, Myra was waiting for the wedding to begin in a quieter area.Heather was keeping Myra company. At this moment, Myra seemed anxious as she held onto Heather’s hand tightly.“Take a deep breath. I’ve never seen you so anxious before.” Heather tried to calm Myra down.“Heather, there are a lot of things that I don’t know how to convey.” As Myra and Heather locked eyes, Heather bent down to match Myra’s eye-level. They looked like a pair of sisters.“You can take your time.” Heather’s smile was so influential.Myra quieted down for a moment as she went into deep thought, but she still couldn’t find the right words. She ended up looking at Heather nervously, making Heather wonder if she would

It was a busy day, where some people were happy while some were sad. Myra and Tony were a perfect match, and those who were skeptical about this couple finally stopped commenting on them.Tony was worried that Myra would be exhausted, so he sent her back to the lounge to get some rest. After all, it was inadvisable for pregnant women to stand for too long. Myra was indeed exhausted too, so she listened to Tony’s advice. Originally, Tony wanted to ask Heather to keep Myra accompanied, but Myra stopped him from doing so.“Look at them. They seem to be getting along pretty well, so let’s not disturb them,” Myra said while pointing at Heather and Lucas, who were standing not too far away from them. Tony didn’t want to spoil his brother’s good time either, so he restrained from calling Heather along.When Heather realized Myra and Tony had disappeared, the couple were already having a sweet time in the lounge. Noticing Heather was gazing around, Lucas asked casually, “Are you looking for s

Shawn couldn’t stay on any longer. Then, he retracted his furious glare and waved at Tilly.“Over here.” Tilly looked at Shawn timidly. He was wearing a fierce expression a second ago, but was calling her over now.After hesitating for a while, Tilly still went forward while staring nervously at Shawn. She wondered if she had annoyed him just now, and he didn’t seem to be pleased either when she took a close look at him. As such, Tilly regretted coming to look for Estelle.Shawn pushed Estelle into Tilly’s arms. “She’s drunk. Please look after her on my behalf. I have some urgent matters to attend to,” Shawn said while turning around elegantly.Tilly nodded instinctively. It was only after Shawn had left did she smell the alcohol in Estelle’s breath.Fortunately, Estelle was already exhausted, otherwise she would surely chase after Shawn. At this moment, Estelle was just weak. Tilly asked in resignation, “Estelle, how much did you actually drink?”“I wanna drink more.” Estelle giggled

When Heather saw the news reports about her and Matthias, she immediately lost her appetite for breakfast.She stood up under the others’ gazes and forced a smile at Robert. “I’m done with breakfast. There are some matters to be attended to in the company, so I shall leave first.”With that, Heather left the Langston Residence and sped all the way to vent out her displeasure. Now that an agreement had been established between her and Matthias, she couldn’t actually retort the reports because according to their agreement, there was no issue about the content reported.However, by publishing this kind of news together with Myra’s wedding reports, it was like indirectly informing Myra about the ambiguous relationship between Heather and Myra.Heather was worried that Myra would instinctively connect the dots before she could confess to her.Fortunately, Myra had gone for her honeymoon trip, otherwise she would have confronted her about this matter. Nevertheless, the honeymoon trip would

While browsing through the article, Matthias stopped at a certain page and stared at the picture on it with deadpan eyes. He was astonished that the reporters even managed to get their hands on such a picture and he wondered how long they had been secretly following them. Something fishy was definitely going on.While gazing at Evan, he tapped on the table with one hand. “Find out who this reporter is.” His instincts were telling him that there was something odd about this reporter. Perhaps by starting here, he could figure out why Heather and him were being targeted.Glancing at Matthias’s stern face, Evan asked rather worriedly, “You think this has something to do with the Locke Family.” As expected from Matthias’ confidant, Evan immediately guessed his thoughts.“This isn’t the first time the Locke Family has done something like this, and you know this,” Matthias said profoundly. He was very well aware of the Locke Family’s tricks, but he never expected they had a large enough netw

At Bradfort City, news about Heather and Matthias was spreading fast and wide. The next morning, Robert called for Heather to have a talk in the study.Blake seemed so delighted that Heather even suspected he was the one behind the articles. Otherwise, Matthias and her wouldn’t have been the target of gossip when it was Myra and Tony who got married.In the study, Robert didn’t look too happy, so Heather didn’t even dare to breathe too loud. She felt a little guilty since she had denied having any romantic relationship with Matthias, which had caused Robert to disregard the flirtatious relationship between her and Matthias for a long time.But now, the news was spreading all over the town. Not only were people talking about their private lives, but also Locke Group and Langston Group. Since Langston Group was getting affected now, there was no way Robert was going to turn a blind eye.Just then, he angrily flung the newspaper to Heather. “Look at this article. Are you still going to d

On the way to the office, Heather was still thinking about what Robert said in the morning. The deep meaning in his words was food for thought. In contrast to Robert, Blake’s tricks weren’t even worth mentioning. In fact, she felt like Robert was implying something to her.She was unsure if she was overthinking, but she could vaguely feel that Blake was just putting up a guise. It seemed like even though Robert was old, he still had a big ambition.It appeared that Bradfort City was going to be lively in the near future. Both Locke Group and Hart Group weren’t one to be messed with, and Robert didn’t intend to get involved with any of them because he was planning to sit back and reap the benefits later.No wonder he had been so angry today. Before this, Heather tried to get Langston Group and Hart Group to cooperate with each other, and now she was entangled with Locke Group.At that moment, remorse welled up in her heart. She realized that she was only causing trouble to Robert. Alth

When they returned to Locke Residence, Matthias wasn’t smiling and Regan had an unpleasant look on his face as he walked behind Matthias. Seeing their appearance, the head of the family thought they had another dispute. At that point, the two of them were the most outstanding members of the Locke Family. Unfortunately, Regan’s status wasn’t as legitimate as Matthias’.Although the Locke Family was prosperous, the most prosperous ones would be the younger generation. Among the elders, the head of the family was the eldest. Matthias’ father had passed away a long time ago.Regan was the child of Matthias’ aunt, and Regan’s father was a live-in son-in-law of the Locke Family. In fact, Regan contributed more to the Locke Family, but because of his status, he was always pushed down by Matthias.The head of the family knew all of this. Based on Regan’s personality, he wouldn’t be comfortable being pressured by Matthias. However, the head of the family supported Matthias’ lineage. The family

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
