Standing before love I’m just a nobody
Tony deliberately withdrew his hand from her and sarcastically said, “Of course not. How would I dare to be angry at you? I’m just a nobody. If you would like to hide me, that’s your right to do so.”Yet, he still claims that he’s not angry? He even emphasizes this point.Myra played around with his right hand. “I’m not trying to hide you. You are not an item, so why would I need to hide you? Oh, that sounds wrong. You are something indeed, but… Haha…”“Myra, that’s enough, yeah.”When he heard her joke and her laughter earlier, his face instantly darkened as he quickly turned and glared at her.Under the bright light in the car, there was a beaming spot in the middle of his eyes. Even though it was tiny, she could still see her small reflection in it.Then, memories suddenly flooded her mind.It started when Myra apologized to Elsie after Sean misunderstood her, she could remember the gentle look in Tony’s eyes when he came to pick her up. Then, he brought Elsie down just to let her

Today’s weather was fine, which was suitable for fishing under the sun.Sebastian could not sleep the whole night after forcing Elliot to spill the beans about Myra’s identity. He tossed and turned on the bed, but he just could not fall asleep. He was making such a fuss that Lisa was complaining. In the end, she left him alone in bed and went to the study to sleep.The next morning, Sebastian had dark circles around his eyes due to the lack of sleep.In the morning, he lost his temper a few times in the Chase Residence. It started when he whined about the housekeeper’s cooking—he claimed that the breakfast she prepared was getting worse. “I expect a bowl of noodles, but there is no beef inside. The noodles are so dry that it’s unpalatable.” Next, he complained about the hot and stuffy garden, claiming that the air quality in Bradfort City was deteriorating. In the end, he pestered Lisa and complained about his foul mood while claiming that his grandchild would not even head home to vi

“Old Master Hart, did I say something wrong? If you don’t like it, please don’t mind—”“Indeed, I do not like it.” Sebastian had a dark expression and he was no longer being polite to Sasha. It is true that I dislike the girl named Myra. However, I do not appreciate it when others start to badmouth the woman chosen by my grandson. Well, it’s just like family. It’s fine if I reprimand my family members, but others have no right to criticize them.Sasha panicked since the situation was not progressing like how she expected. “Old Master Hart, do you know that Miss Stark is already married to my cousin? She is already married to Sean, but she went ahead to seduce to—”“Who has she seduced? You claim that she is married, so why would she seduce other men?!” Sebastian interrupted without waiting for her to complete her sentence and he continued to glare at her.Sasha was dumbfounded when he fiercely glared at her and she answered him automatically, “Director Hart…”“Hmph!” Sebastian rolled

Tony’s eyes twinkled with a smile, but Myra did not notice it. He took her phone from her and he sent a message to the chat group through her account.Myra: ‘Sorry, but my weekend is for Myra. I can only return to the Hart Residence with her permission.” He closed the Messenger after sending the message. Then, he returned the cell phone to Myra.“I haven’t checked what everybody else said,” she complained when she noticed that the Messenger had been closed.Tony raised a brow at her and his eyes twinkled brightly. He kissed her forehead before meeting her gaze. “What is there to look at? It’s more than enough as long as you look at me.”Does he even realize how shameless he sounds? Myra was rendered speechless by his reaction. He held her hand as they both made their way into the restaurant.After the meal, Tony drove Myra to her condominium building. Upon arriving at her destination, Myra was about to exit the car, but she could not ignore the scorching gaze behind her. In the end, s

“For my sake?”“Of course!” Estelle was dumbfounded as she stared at the simple and dumb woman who somehow had Tony wrapped around her finger. “Didn’t you know when Tony returned to take over the Hart Group?”“Isn’t that two months ago?” Myra knew about that as well.“Well, try to recall when the Sunny Bay Project started.”Myra hesitated before answering, “It’s also two months ago.”“Well, isn’t that right?!” Estelle shook her head. “Judging by those facts, he has fallen for you during the Sunny Bay Project. After that, he decided to stay in Bradfort City and expand his business. That is why he decided to transfer his company from the United States back to here, don’t you agree?”Well, even if I don’t think Tony would make such a huge decision for a woman whom he had only known for a month, Estelle’s assumptions have melted my heart anyway.Estelle glanced at Myra before asking, “Hey! I know that you are in the infatuation period, but is it necessary to provoke me? You look drunk in

“What do you mean by ‘fine’? A man like Tony has seen all sorts of women. Do you think that you will be able to turn him on just by standing before him?” Estelle tossed the chip in her hand away and she continued in a stern manner. “Let me tell you this—you were too casual when you were with Sean. Look at all the women he has outside there—they are all tempting and bewitching! Therefore, when Tony stands in front of you, you must try to enchant him with your expressions, seduce him with your movements, and mesmerize him with your eyes… All in all, you have to make sure to gain full control of his body and heart this time!” The more she spoke, the more emotional she became. It caused Myra to blush so fiercely that even the base of her neck turned red. Lastly, she could not help but ask, “Was that how you treated Shawn before he pounced on you?” Myra’s words rendered Estelle speechless, so she glared at her. “Don’t touch that sensitive topic. I must have been blind to have my eyes on t

Even so, it didn’t extinguish the anger in his heart. Although Sebastian knew that Sasha had deliberately exaggerated the facts in the morning to taint Myra’s reputation, after giving it careful thought, he figured that something fishy was going on. Not to mention, at the time, Myra had gotten together with his grandson before she had even divorced her ex-husband!Myra stood silently beside the old man. Because the fish Sebastian brought was a crucian carp, there were a lot of bones. Seeing that he was eating with some difficulty, Myra hesitated, then went to take a clean plate and a set of cutlery.Just as she was about to sit down, Sebastian fixed her with a fierce glare. “Why are you sitting down? Did I say you can sit down?”Myra was a little embarrassed, so she just stood there while she picked up a huge piece of fish meat. When she did this, he glared at her once more, but she simply picked out the fish bones before placing the fish onto the plate in front of Sebastian. Then, sh

When someone cared about a person, they would always worry about what the person’s family thought of them.Suddenly, a large, warm hand grabbed Myra’s left hand. She looked up in surprise and was met with Tony’s gaze, which seemed to be gleaming with the coldness of the stars.Seeing that Myra’s eyes were a little red, Tony pressed his thin lips into a hard line. “She can’t get in through the door? Well, she can come in through the window, can’t she? I’m just taking a wife; why are you getting so emotional?”“You a**hole! I’m your grandfather!”“Are grandfathers supposed to hinder their grandsons from being happy?” Tony’s reply came in an instant. Sebastian was rendered speechless, and he was so angry that he found it hard to breathe. He promptly lifted the cup next to him and took huge gulps of water. Almost immediately, he started to choke, and he was coughing so hard that his thick neck turned red.Myra wanted to go to him when she saw this, but Tony held her back and said coldly,

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
