Standing before love Anything else Miss stark
After they cuddled in the car for a while, Tony finally released Myra from his embrace.When she was about to get out of the car, he suddenly pulled her hand back.Hence, she turned and looked at him questioningly. He merely smiled and pulled her over before he planted a kiss on her forehead. “I’ll pick you up later in the afternoon. Take care.”Myra returned the kiss on his chin. “When you arrive, call me. Don’t just stay silent.”She remembered that he had quietly waited for her at the company. Even though she did not say it out loud, she felt rather sorry for him.Tony smiled slightly and caressed his chin on her face. It was only after agreeing to her request that he let her go.Myra was in a pretty good mood after they had talked things out. No matter what, it was definitely better than brooding on the problem herself.When she was walking up the stairs, a female employee hastily ran into her. Myra’s expression changed when she lost her balance on the stairs. Fortunately, Genevie

With a heavy feeling in her heart, Myra touched her belly as she remembered the person who shoved her in the elevator. It seems like Sunny’s miscarriage is not a mere accident.Tony came to pick her up at the end of the workday. She had deliberately asked him coyly to head upstairs to meet her.He did not think too much about her request. When both of them walked into the elevator, she heaved a sigh when those outside did not follow them in.After they went down and entered his car, she spoke as she buckled her seatbelt, “Can we go to the hospital today? One of my secretaries in the secretary department sufferered a miscarriage earlier today. I am want to visit her.”A shocked Tony scooted over to kiss her cheeks as he nodded. “Aren’t you scared?”Myra hesitated for a moment before she nodded. “A little, especially when I heard that she had a miscarriage.” In fact, it was not just a little—she was quite fearful because she had an ominous feeling. She was still shocked and scared after

“Let me tell you this—don’t even think about taking half of our assets when you are out with other men!” Eve had finally witnessed Lyla’s true character after she witnessed Lyla staying at another man’s place for a long time. She’s such a hypocrite! While she’s claiming to be in love with my son, she secretly sleeps with another man! How did we welcome such a shameless woman into our family? “I have already recorded your meeting with the man from yesterday. Let’s see what your excuses are this time!”Lyla’s expression immediately changed. “Eve, did you follow me again?” At this point, she did not bother to be respectful to Eve anymore.Eve merely let out a cold snort. “If I didn’t follow you, I wouldn’t have known all the dirty things you have done. You shameless woman! I shall see how you’ll walk into the abyss step by step!”With that, Eve turned angrily to leave.Even if she could do nothing against Lyla at this moment, she could have an opportunity to use the evidence in the futur

“Are you trying to sell yourself despite your looks?” Tony cruelly asked through his pursed thin lips.Upon seeing that Gemma’s expression changed drastically when she heard that, he tightened his grip. It caused her to immediately scream in pain, “Release me! Let go of me… You are hurting me… Tony…”“Gemma—” He shoved her hand away ruthlessly and she stumbled a few steps backward. His gaze was cold and distant when he glared at the fearful woman in front of him. “Even if you are the only woman alive on earth, I would rather choose to be alone without a woman.”The color drained from Gemma’s face and a wave of humiliation washed The over her. Tears started to brim in her eyes as she felt sorry for herself. “Tony, I just want to help you to release your frustrations because I know that Myra is pregnant now and you just can’t… You just…” She appeared especially hurt at that point. “She is pregnant now, so I am sure that you have been feeling frustrated. I have accepted reality—I will n

If one were to guess what kind of situation Eve would hate the most, the current circumstances would most probably be it—after being chased out of the Chase Family, not only did Myra not plunge down the social ladder. Instead, she joined the Hart Family, which had a much better social standing than the Chase Family. Besides, both Sebastian and Lisa seemed especially fond of Myra too.Eve wasn’t really fond of Myra, so she did not feel any loss with Myra’s departure from the Chase Family. She had no intentions of having Myra rejoin the Chase Family either, but it just felt like a gaping hole. Why is somebody whom I have cast aside like an old shoe regarded like a treasure by the Hart Family? It almost feels like Myra has deliberately joined the Hart Family to taunt me. It also feels like a slap in my face.Eve’s expression stiffened the moment she saw the three of them. She was just about to turn to leave, but she figured it would look especially petty. She did not want others to assum

It turned out that Gemma and Tony had an argument at the underground parking lot. She was blinded by anger, so she crashed her vehicle into his sports car. Coincidentally, a big truck was driving by, which meant that he could have noticed her speeding in his direction. He was left with no choice, but to accelerate forward to make an emergency turn. However, due to the sudden turn and the close proximity to the big truck, he crashed into it despite turning as quickly as he could. He may not have sustained fatal wounds, but he suffered from multiple severe injuries.On the other hand, Gemma was in a much more severe condition because her driving skills were not on par with Tony. When she was driving toward him, she saw him making a turn with his car, but she did not do that in time. Hence, she crashed right into the big truck in front of her. By the time the ambulance arrived, Leo had heard from the doctor that she was at the brink of death.Upon learning that she was still in the opera

Myra initially wanted to jeer at Tony’s behavior as a patient. However, her heart ached when she was reminded that his arms were injured. Hence, she gently fed him.Not long after breakfast, Elliot and Tilly walked into Tony’s hospital room one after another.Tilly was slightly shy in the beginning and her cheeks were slightly red from blushing. Nevertheless, she might have been surprised because she cried out in shock after noticing Tony’s injuries. She forgot about her embarrassment now that she was with Elliot. “Miss Stark, is Director Hart severely injured?”Myra noticed Tilly avoiding his hand when he tried to hold hers. The two of them clearly shared an intimate and suggestive relationship, but Myra was too distracted by Tony’s car accident. Therefore, she wasn’t in the mood to focus on other issues. Upon hearing that, she looked up at Tony, who wore an indifferent facial expression. “They aren’t fatal injuries. The doctor said that he will recuperate after resting for some time

“Stop creating more trouble when things are already in such a terrible state. You are responsible for consoling Gemma when she wakes up. You must not tell her about her disfigurement. Just tell her that she will recover with plastic surgery. As for her hands—” Edward glanced at Gemma’s heavily bandaged hands and his heart sank. “Do not tell her that she will be disabled. Just inform her that she will recover and she should focus on recuperating right now.”After listening to Edward, Shelly cried without answering him. Hence, he asked again in a harsh manner, “Did you hear me?!” He poked the floor hard with his crutch and it thumped loudly.She shivered whereas Samuel glared unhappily while pressing his lips into a thin line. Finally, her lips parted to mumble in agreement, “Yeah.”After that, Edward turned to look at Samuel and Gideon. “Samuel, we shouldn’t delay the Central Square project any longer. You must not get distracted now and focus on the project instead. As for Gideon, eas

Standing before love Search for an answer
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
