Standing before love She would sooner slice
Kris was at the hospital with Gideon, but she decided to head to Gemma’s room on her own with a bouquet of flowers that she brought while he parked the car.After learning of Gemma’s incident, Kris doubted that anyone was as happy as she was.Gemma had always been acting high and mighty around Kris to the point of snubbing her all the time. However, knowing that Gemma came from a prolific and important family, Kris could not risk offending her. She had been ecstatic to learn of the accident and the cause behind it because it meant that there really was bad blood between the Walton Family and the Hart Family. In addition to the accident, Gemma had also sustained injuries to her face—a feature that any woman would pay most attention to—and Kris was seized with wicked glee to know this despite being clueless about the extent of the girl’s injuries. Nonetheless, she maintained a concerned front when she was with the Walton Family.Upon entering the hospital room, she saw that Gemma was th

Standing in the doorway was a fresh-faced and pretty nurse whom they had never seen before. She had a medical record in one hand and the other held a pen as it rested on the doorknob.The nurse had frozen in place after seeing the unexpected scene before her and she only snapped out of her daze when she registered what Tony had said. She stammered as she flushed, “P-Pardon me. I saw that the door was open, so I came in without knocking.”Meanwhile, Myra was blushing all the way down to her neck as she tore herself away from him despite his firm hold. As she straightened her posture, she shot him a deadly glare before turning to give the nurse a sheepish look. “I’m sorry; are you here to check up on him? I can step away for a bit while you do your work.”The nurse hummed pensively in response. Myra could be wrong, but she thought there could have been a cold gleam in the nurse’s eyes as the latter acknowledged her. However, the nurse resumed her demure countenance as she glanced over a

Most of her fits revolved around the same thing—she didn’t want to leave Bradfort City and she insisted on having the doctor flown in so that she could receive her treatment here in the hospital.There had also been several occasions when Gemma tried to sneak over to Tony’s hospital ward at the end of the corridor, but she was reprimanded by the guards stationed outside her room before she could even get past the threshold.The bodyguards had been stationed outside her door ever since she found out about the severity of her wounds. While her family had told her that the bodyguards were for her protection, they were secretly hoping worried that she would throw a manic fit and stir up trouble once more. Gemma had avidly protested against this decision, but it was to no avail. In addition to her tantrums, the injuries on her hands had taken a turn for the worse after her refusal to sit still and recuperate. It wasn’t until after Edward’s stern warning that she finally settled.“Mom, I do

There had not been much to glean from what Elsie had said, but she knew that the entire incident had something to do with Kris and probably Gemma as well.She felt uneasy as she returned to Tony’s suite and upon entering, she saw that he was eating his meal with one hand.Although he was injured and seated on the bedside while spooning mouthfuls of food with one hand, he looked graceful nonetheless.Myra felt the knot in her stomach untangle at the sight of him doing so. She sauntered over and took the spoon and the bowl from him before she brought a mouthful of porridge to his thin lips.Tony raised his brow at her action. “I thought I was supposed to eat it on my own.”She rolled her eyes at him. “At the speed you’re eating, the porridge would be cold by the time you manage to finish it.”He flashed the barest hint of a smile as he mused, “You never mean what you say, Myra. I know you care about me. You don’t have to come up with an excuse just so you can run back here and feed me,
Last Updated : 2024-11-06Standing before love What kind of pain
She should have been the one to be in Tony’s arms, but Myra had to come along and take everything away from her. In retrospect, she should have followed him back to Bradfort City months ago, but she hadn’t thought that he would fall head over heels for another woman within such a short span of time.Gemma wanted to clench her fists, but a sharp ache tore through her arms whenever she moved her fingers. The injuries on her hands were already grave on their own, but any movement that required so much as an ounce of strength was enough to send a paralyzing pain through her bones.She gritted her teeth. If he hadn’t provoked her the other day, she wouldn’t have lost control and rammed into him with her car, thereafter crashing into the oncoming truck. She wouldn’t have ended up in such a sorry state.A fire burned in her eyes as she dwelled on those and at the thought of the video she had just received, she grew even more outraged.…Tony and Myra had kept their evening stroll brief and b

“You kept saying that you like Tony and you love him but the truth is, you only want to possess him. You don’t care if he likes you or if he can accept you, all you want is him! You don’t love him at all and you only love yourself!”Myra clutched the phone in her hand. “You pushed him so hard that he lost his reasoning and strangled you, and you caused him to hate you even more. Gemma, you were the one who brought yourself to where you are now. Every time you try to harm someone, you end up hurting yourself. Just stop it.” Myra took a deep breath and her expression was stern. “If you stop with what you are doing now, you may not need to leave Bradfort City and everything can still return to the way it was—”“Shut up!” Before Myra could finish, Gemma interrupted her and she yelled, “Do you think that your words can make me back off? I love Tony and I want to be with him! This is how my love is! The reason he grew to hate me is because of you and your dirty tricks, you b*tch! Why can’t

After taking her into his embrace, he used his injured hand to tap open a video in his phone.There were two people in the video—Gemma and Tony.However, it was different from the one that Gemma had shown Myra. That video began with Tony strangling her but in this video, the whole process, as well as the other scenes, were shown—Gemma tried to seduce Tony and refused to let him leave, giving him no choice but to strangle her before he let her go. After that, Tony’s car was about to drive off but Gemma was seen stomping on the pedal in an attempt to run into his car. To make matters worse, the video that Gemma had shown Myra was soundless, but there was audio in this video that Tony showed her. Therefore, Myra was able to hear every single word that Gemma said.“Tony, I only want to help you to relieve your needs. I know that Myra is now pregnant, and you… you… Now that she is pregnant, you must be having a hard time holding back your desires. I have thought things through and I know t

“What are you going to tell me now? That the video was not released by the Walton Family?” Sebastian raged in a sharp tone without any consideration for Old Master Walton’s pride.The latter was so angry that his face flushed red in anger and at the same time, he was at a loss for words. Apparently, they had found out that it was Gemma who released the video to the public, which indicated that she had no intention to make peace with the Hart Family.Before Old Master Walton could even say a word, Sebastian directly hung up the call and switched off his phone.Old Master Walton was so pissed that his chest heaved vigorously. After the call was hung up, he hit his cane so hard on the floor that it snapped.“Dad, how was it?” Samuel worriedly asked from the side.“What else can have happened? Gemma has gotten herself in big trouble this time!” Old Master Walton growled.He did not expect that his granddaughter would kick up such a huge mess when they only took their eyes off her for one

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
