Standing before love Deeply inlove
“Heh…” Tony chuckled softly. Even Cameron could hear the deep ridicule hidden within the laughter. Cameron clenched the phone tightly in his hands and asked, “Director Hart, what… is the purpose of your call today?”Tony flicked the ash off his cigarette and faintly replied, “Naturally, I’m here to give my future father-in-law a present. I heard that the Stark Group was trying to obtain the Elsinore Garden Project recently.”As if he didn’t know in the first place. Cameron’s eyes gleamed. “Director Hart, are you—”“I will hand over another 3% of the profits in the Elsinore Garden Project if you let Myra take the position of the Stark Group’s general manager and take charge of this project. What do you think?”Without waiting for Cameron to express his opinion, Tony addressed the person on the other end of the phone as ‘father-in-law’. Then, he said something about handing over the profits to the Stark Group on the condition that Myra took the position as the general manager of the com

That’s why I wanted to quickly wrap Tony around my finger. I did not expect him to be such a difficult man with such a weird state of mind. I can’t figure him out at all!“But, Myra is currently in charge of another project…” Kris refused to give up. She suddenly blurted out, “Besides, Dad, you know that Myra only returned to the Stark Group to retake the company shares from you. Making her the general manager… What if she gradually seizes power and takes control of the Stark Group?!”Cameron’s expression turned grim, but the change was barely visible. He quickly turned around. “Kris, I know what you’re thinking. A man like Tony Hart won’t be satisfied with just one woman—he is well aware of the differences between women. Myra has been abandoned by the Stark Family for a long time. Meeting him was luck and making him reach out to help her was her ability. Still, this kind of ability will not last for long.” At this point, he paused with a rather mocking smile curling the corners of hi

When Rachel said that, she gently used one hand to stroke her belly. The bump on her belly was not that obvious, but both of them knew what was inside her belly.Still, Kris bit her lip. “But, even the doctor has said that this child will never be born. Dad is keeping such a tight grip over the company shares. If the baby isn’t born, how are we going to get a hold of those shares?”The basic condition to gain control over the Stark Group’s shares was for Rachel to give birth to a child. Moreover, it had to be a boy. They had known since the beginning that this child would not survive. Initially, they wanted to coax Cameron into handing the shares to them while it was still in her womb. However, they had underestimated his sense of vigilance.Rachel’s lips curved. “Do you remember the plan I told you about in the beginning?”Kris paused for a moment before nodding, “I remember; I’m just scared…”“Yes. It’s normal to be scared. After all, your father is inherently suspicious. If he real

As soon as Greta finished her words, Lyla felt as if she was completely drained of energy. She swooned and slowly fell to the ground.Monday arrived and it was work as usual for Myra. However, it was a slightly different working day for her. Tony was her driver today and he dropped her off directly at the front entrance of Stark Group. Clearly, they had no intention to hide their relationship.Before she exited the car, he leaned nearer to peck her on the lips before he released her from his embrace as her face flushed as red as a tomato.“I’ll come to pick you up later in the evening.” It was only after he said those words that he drove off.Not too long after Myra exited the car and she took a few steps forward, someone forcefully ran into her. After a minute, Kris exaggeratedly exclaimed, “Excuse me, somehow I didn’t notice there was someone by my side!”Evidently, she was indirectly being disparaging to Myra. As Myra was fully aware of that, she calmly stated, “Your eyes are place

Sean had time to chase Myra, but why didn’t he spend time with me? Ever since the divorce was finalized, he has become quieter as time passed. Recently, he has been leaving home at the crack of dawn and coming home late at night. I haven’t seen him for days as he leaves before I wake up and arrives home after I’ve slept. How can I stay calm knowing that it’s all because of Myra? What does he mean by all this? Does he still harbor feelings toward Myra and he’s been pursuing her after their divorce?Soon after Lyla said those words, Myra did not even get the chance to defend herself. Almost immediately, the staff members walking past and the receptionists at the front desk started to congregate together and they whispered among themselves.Myra’s face visibly darkened as she stared at Lyla in front of her. She coldly exclaimed, “Let go of my hands!”“Myra, I beg you. Please stay away from Sean. Please do not go after him…” Lyla sobbed. She held tightly onto Myra’s hands and refused to b

As soon as Sean saw Myra pause in her tracks, he realized in that moment that she cared a lot for Tony. He couldn’t control the hostility in his eyes as he exclaimed coldly, “Myra Stark, I admit that I’ve made some mistakes and I owe you an apology. However, Lyla never wronged you. In fact, it was you who reneged on your promise resulting in the harm of our unborn child. Besides that, you’ve been bullying her all this while. If you have any resentment or anger, just direct it toward me. Do you find it necessary to treat a pregnant lady so badly?”“What did I do to her?” Myra lifted her head and looked at him squarely in the eyes. Her expression remained calm as she coldly stared at him. Her expression was devoid of anger and hatred; this was in contrast to what Sean had anticipated. For a moment, he felt quite flustered while standing in front of her.Without skipping a beat, she repeated her question. “What did I do to her?” At the same time, her gaze fell on Lyla who was being held

Sebastian’s expression remained unchanged, but there was a hint of mockery in his eyes.As Sean noticed that, his face took on a ghastly expression.He had been having some complicated feelings toward Myra recently. As such, after hearing Lyla’s words, he jumped to the conclusion and blamed Myra for everything, as usual. I’m so used to doing this—no matter what happens, I always assume that Myra’s the one who made a mistake. I’ve actually… never given her a chance to explain her side of the story; plus, I’ve never really trusted her words at all.Instantly, Sean’s expression darkened as he came to this realization.As for Myra, she was astounded by Sebastian’s words. Soon after that, she felt a burst of warmth from deep inside her heart and it grew inside her.Sebastian may look impassive with his pursed-up lips, but I know that this is all just an appearance he puts up in front of me. Although he constantly acts as if he dislikes me, he always comes to my defense when necessary. Gran

At the Stark Group, after Sean left with Lyla in his embrace, Sebastian suddenly snorted loudly and gave Myra a long stare as he muttered, “Temptress!”Myra grimaced in return as she lifted the flask in her hands and said, “Thank you, Old Master Hart.”“Why are you thanking me? I wasn’t the one who prepared it!” Sebastian turned away as he went back to his usual haughty self.What a surprise—I sure didn’t expect to see Myra caught up in a skirmish with another woman, and then that Chase boy turned up as well. As a matter of fact, if I hadn’t appeared, she would be bullied by the two of them and she would definitely not be able to get a word in. Sebastian frowned and said, “You’re such a wimp. It’s no wonder that you’re no match for Tony.”Myra was feeling quite awkward at the moment.I never imagined that this would happen. I can’t believe that Old Master Hart saw the dispute between me, Sean and Lyla. In fact, I didn’t expect him to stand up for me either!Sebastian suddenly recalled

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
Standing before love Matthia has a personality
Myra and Tony left the bridal shop in low spirits after spending a whole day trying on wedding dresses, for they were unable to find one that suited Myra. As for the remaining matters, Tony had already made the arrangements. After all, no one said that a wedding could only accommodate one wedding dress.Tony had already entrusted his reliable assistant with the task of managing the procedures involved in getting the tailor-made dresses ready. He had faith that his assistant would give him satisfactory results in the end.Having settled the matter with the wedding dress, Myra pondered for a while. She felt that Tony had taken her out to try on wedding dresses for some ulterior motive. She knew that something was wrong, but she just couldn’t put her finger on it. Don’t tell me this is all part of his plan to create a situation where he could openly announce that he wants to get the wedding dress tailor-made overseas.They hadn’t given themselves much time to prepare for the wedding; Ton
Standing before love Loss of reason
As Heather returned to Langston Group, her mind was full of questions while she troubled herself over the next step. The moment she opened the door to the office, Heather had the urge to cry, but she had no tears to shed. She looked at the man sitting on her seat and gave him a smile that looked worse than crying.“Where’d you go?” Matthias looked at Heather in disdain. It was obvious that he came here to catch her in the act.Matthias’ tone got on Heather’s nerves. She hadn’t even confronted him about the incident the day before, but he dared to use this questioning tone to talk to her.“That’s none of your business. Get off my chair.” Heather wasn’t intimidated in the least. If it weren’t for the glass door, she would’ve made Matthias wish he were dead.She was suddenly impressed by Blake for getting her an office with a glass door. It was crystal clear, so anything that happened on one side of the door could be seen from the other.The transparency restricted Heather’s actions and
Standing before love Business first
In the meantime, Heather noticed her phone ringing a few times but decided to ignore Matthias’ calls and hang them up. Nonetheless, her phone continued to ring again and again, no matter how many times she declined them. Eventually, Heather became annoyed and directly turned off her phone after her refusal to answer the call failed to make Matthias give up.On the other hand, the man lay down his phone in disappointment, surprised that Heather would rather turn off her phone than answer his call. It seems that I really did piss her off pretty badly yesterday. Great! Even Heather won’t talk to me now. At the thought of that, he somehow felt overwhelmed by loneliness.Meanwhile, Heather was bothered by mixed feelings inside her, deeming Matthias capricious and fathomless. Deep down, she reckoned Matthias still stubbornly insisted that it was all her fault for ruining his chance of living a happy life with Myra. Despite her guilt toward him about the things that had happened in the past,
Standing before love No need to do this
Considering her irrational state, Heather was prompted by her instincts to leave the place before the situation turned ugly. Nevertheless, she somehow couldn’t bring herself to simply just walk away because she didn’t know how she could face Matthias again if she opened the door and left like that. At the same time, she was mad and disgusted with herself for taking him into consideration at such a time.“Get out!” Matthias bellowed at Heather, clinging onto the last bit of his rationality.Heather calmly exchanged gazes with Matthias; she looked the man in the eye without even blinking as she refused to leave due to his impertinent attitude. I’m not just some woman whom you could just summon and shoo away as you wish! After all, the man’s mean response somehow hurt her pride.“You told me to follow you, and now you’re asking me to go?” Heather glared at Matthias, as if a fight could break out between them at any minute.Although Matthias was succumbing to his agitated emotions, Heathe
Standing before love Let matthia accept
Right now, Matthias had completely lost his composure and confidence. He was no longer his usual self, and his cowardly character was now totally out in the open. At this moment, Heather could not get away, but she could not ignore him either, so the two embraced each other in a bizarre manner.“Am I a failure?” Like a child, Matthias was curled up in Heather’s arms. He was a tall and burly man, yet he looked especially fragile at this moment.“No. There is no winning or losing when it comes to matters of the heart,” Heather replied gently. Recalling her previous relationship, she also thought at that time that she was a failure.Hearing that, Matthias held back his tears. Men should not shed tears, so he just stared at Heather. With mixed feelings, Heather felt uncomfortable under his stare, and she thought that she saw the old her in his eyes.“You’re not manly at all when you look like this.” Heather slightly raised her eyebrows, trying to ease the tension.At this time, no matter
