“Sure.” A fierce look fleeted across Gideon’s eyes. Even if Edward and Shelly said nothing, he wouldn’t want to have anything to do with Kris. She doesn’t know her place, so she will get a taste of my wrath!It was a long night. While some people were fretting over their problems, some had a good night’s sleep. The next morning, Myra needed to go to the hospital for her prenatal checkup. Tony would be keeping her company, as he needed to check on his fractured arm and his other injuries.That morning, the Hart Family had breakfast together. It had been a long time since they last had such a jolly breakfast together. Sebastian couldn’t help but lament, “It would be perfect if Damian and Katie are here.”Smiling, Serena said, “You can always summon him if you want him back home.”“He’s in the military, so he can’t just up and leave! Since he has chosen to become a soldier, he will have to obey their rules all the time!” Sebastian glared at Serena.With a smile, she commented, “But I sup

Instead of saying that the Hart Family arranged it, I would guess it was Tony’s fiancée, Myra, who arranged it. Hayley wasn’t willing to give up, but at the same time, she knew she had no way of getting closer to Tony.A while ago, she heard another nurse mention that Tony would be coming for a checkup. Although she was also aware that he only came because Myra needed to do a prenatal checkup, Hayley came regardless without even coming up with a reason.“Are you looking for someone?” The doctor, Alvin Randall, was startled by her presence. When he noticed how Hayley was staring at Tony, he assumed he was looking for the man sitting across from him. With a smile, he replied, “Miss Boulanger, are you here for Mr. Hart? You’re just in time. He just finished his checkup. It seems that he is making good progress in his recovery.”“Yeah.” Hayley gave a faint nod, her face visibly turning a shade of red.Meanwhile, Myra also glanced in the direction of the woman who was standing at the door

Myra’s rare show of her more dominant side amused Tony. Turning his palm over to hold her hand, he commented, “Who else should I look at if not you?”Blushing, Myra retracted her hand and then glared at him. “Drive! You’re setting a bad example for the other employees if you’re never on time!”That finally shut him up, and he started the car engine before driving off. Halfway through their journey, Estelle gave Myra a call, which she picked up without hesitation. “Is something the matter, Estelle?”“Myra, it’s me!” The voice that came through didn’t belong to Estelle.As soon as Myra heard that voice, her face fell. She could also hear Estelle fretting over the phone. “You b*stard, Sean Chase! I’m warning you! You’d better return my phone, or else I will get the security guards to chase you out!”“Listen to me, Myra! What happened to the Green Palms Project isn’t what you see on the surface. It’s not just a financial deficit, but someone has been deliberately targeting it! I’ve spent

Back then, Kris was still feeling jealous at Myra for getting a car, so she accepted Cameron’s offer without hesitation. From her point of view, someone as prestigious as her father would undoubtedly have a few mistresses. As long as those women stuck to themselves and did not affect her mother’s status within the family, she was willing to turn a blind eye to their affairs. It was also out of concern for her mother. After all, Cameron never was someone who could have a leash put on him. If she irked him by blowing things out of proportion, the status of both her mother and her within the family would be endangered.“Dad cheated on you, but he threatened me that he would chase us out of the family if I told you.” Taking a deep breath, Kris clenched her fists. “I wouldn’t be afraid if I was the only one involved, but I knew you wouldn’t be able to take such a heavy blow, so I hid the truth from you. Mom, I’m sorry…”“No, this can’t be…” Rachel could feel her blood gushing to her brain.

Leo remained silent as he mused, Director Tony wants to set up a flower shop, but doesn’t want too many clients to know the address. I guess he’s doing this just to pamper Miss Myra. Although he was already used to seeing how Tony would dote on Myra, Leo couldn’t help but exclaim mentally, since his past self would never have believed Tony was capable of such deeds toward a woman.However, Leo quickly carried out Tony’s orders, starting from finding a suitable shoplot. Myra knew nothing about it as she worked on arranging the flowers into another vase before bringing it out from the lounge, only to find that the atmosphere outside the lounge was different from when she left.In fact, the atmosphere in Tony’s office was slightly heavy. With a morose look, Tony held an almost hostile gaze in his narrow eyes. His features were stiff and serious when he tapped on the surface of the table with the index and middle finger of his left hand, which produced a series of light yet unnerving tapp

Let go of me!” With abandon, Ivy seemed resolute about whatever it was that she was going to do. “Leo, you know how I feel! Sebastian already announced that their wedding will be held next month! What should I do if that happens?”As she went on, a look of grief shrouded her features. “How could he treat me like that after I spent all those years chasing after him? Is my effort throughout the years all for naught?”Leo didn’t let go of her hand. There was a fleeting pain in his gaze when he noticed how hurt she was. Regardless, he only stated aloofly, “There never is a reason for things like this. Director Hart had always made himself clear, nor had he ever given you false hope. You know full well that he was the one who bestowed our positions in the company to us. Not anybody could just walk in and get to this position. We only had a chance because he gave us one. Have you forgotten how he helped you when you were bullied by your cousin’s family? Now that he will be getting married t

With an earnest gaze that indicated to Ivy his deep love and gentle desire to protect her, Leo continued to stare at her while waiting in trepidation.Hearing his sudden confession, Ivy was stunned. Although she knew early on that he fancied her, she always feigned ignorance because she didn’t want to complicate things.She was swayed by his sudden confession, but chose to immediately push him away in panic while biting her lip. “Leo, the man I like is Tony. Even though he doesn’t like me, I won’t give up before he gets married.” Her final sentence sounded rigid, either because she really refused to give up or she was trying to turn Leo down.As soon as Leo heard that, his gaze dimmed. A frown appeared as quickly as it disappeared before he smiled at her. “I’m at my wits’ end if you’re not going to change your mind even after I did that.” With that, he switched to a more serious demeanor. “Ivy, even if you’re unwilling to give up on Director Hart, you shouldn’t lay a finger on Miss St

“Will the fall of Stark Group bring any loss to Myra?” Tony arched his brow while questioning Cameron.“Of course! Have you already forgotten that she has twenty-five percent of the shares of the company? If the company goes bankrupt, she won’t be able to get anything.”Cameron gritted his teeth. In fact, it wasn’t just twenty-five percent. He was aware that there was someone else who had been buying off the company’s stocks that were on the market. Other than Tony, Cameron couldn’t imagine anybody else doing that.However, he could only feign ignorance. “Of course, I wouldn’t make you help us for free. If Stark Group manages to fare through this, I’m willing to offer you Green Palms Project’s full profit. How does that sound?”“Green Palms Project’s full profit…” There was a hint of ridicule in Tony’s voice while he sandwiched his phone between his shoulder and his cheek. He took out a cigarette, only to quickly throw the cigarette into the bin beside him as soon as he glanced at the

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
