Standing before love Stop bothering Myra
All in all, did Tony help me enter the Chase Family so that he could claim Myra for himself?Lyla’s whole body was drenched in cold sweat upon this realization, and she couldn’t control the icy feeling permeating from within her heart either.“Director Hart… I’m sure you wouldn’t want Myra to find out who gave me those photos, right?” Lyla blinked slowly, her expression full of anger and resentment. As she stared at the man in front of her, she was reluctant to accept what was going on.The Hilliville Project’s doing so well right now. Obviously, Tony must have had his eyes on the development of Hilliville since back then. Could it be that he’s in fact after Myra’s stake in the project?As soon as Tony heard Lyla’s words, his expression became unreadable. “Miss Fisher, I’m sure you wouldn’t want to do that.”“Why wouldn’t I?” For a split second, Lyla’s emotions went out of control as she yelled at him. Upon noting his unflappable attitude, she forced herself to calm down. Biting on he

“Don’t be fooled by Myra, Director Hart. She’s—”“It seems as if you don’t understand what I’ve said, Miss Fisher.” Lyla could see the dark anger that flashed in Tony’s eyes as he said that, even though his expression remained unchanged.Her nails were digging so deeply into her palms that she thought the skin on it would tear. She opened her mouth to say something, but words deserted her. Then, she heard the sound of the door opening behind her before it was followed by approaching footsteps. Leo’s voice was stoic as he said, “Miss Fisher, please.’She bristled. She glared at him before turning to look at Tony incredulously. However, Tony did not glance at her anymore.Lyla could feel herself breaking into cold sweat. I shouldn’t have said those things to Tony, at least not for the time being…“Director Hart, I’m just trying to look out for you. Please don’t think otherwise. Director Hart—” Tony frowned before she could finish her sentence, prompting Leo to immediately seize her by t

Shawn regarded her with narrowed eyes and after a while, he asked, “Why are you asking?”Knowing that he had read her mind, Estelle let out a huff before explaining, “It’s Kris—I just saw her enter the Management Department next door. Word has it that Stark Group is trying to secure the Elsinore Garden Project from the government, so I’m wondering if that might have anything to do with her coming here.” She paused before she continued speaking. “But something doesn’t feel right. I distinctly remember Myra saying that she’s in charge of the project, so what is Kris doing here in City Hall? It’s not as if she’s so kind as to lend Myra a helping hand.”Upon hearing that, Shawn raised a brow and his eyes darkened. “I can’t speak for others, but I would never pull strings for anybody unless…”“Unless what?” Estelle’s eyes glimmered with hope.He gazed at her with dark amusement in his eyes. He curled his finger, beckoning her over to him.She grew wary almost instantly. The last time he lo

Myra glowered at the middle-aged man before her. If she had bristled when he patted her shoulder, then she was now fuming after he had brushed his pinky finger against the back of her hand.Meanwhile, Thomas seemed unfazed and the smile on his face was warm and polite as he cajoled, “We should finish the rest of the wine, Miss Stark. It’s getting late and we ought to head home soon.”The others in the private room were oblivious to her anger. Even Tilly was beaming as she moved to clink glasses with everyone, the remaining wine in her glass sloshing as she did so.Myra’s gaze darkened as grim realization dawned upon her. It had been far too easy for them to secure the project today. Genevieve was supposed to be with them, as well, but she was called away at the very last minute.Things are not as simple as they seem, Myra thought.“Miss Stark? Miss Stark?” Thomas called out for her twice and only then did she snap out of her thoughts. She did not know why she felt sleepy all of a sudd

Myra tried to grab onto the doorknob, but Thomas was already pulling her further from the door. Hot tears were streaming past her cheeks, but she gritted her teeth and kicked harshly at the door, even as she was being hauled away.Meanwhile, he felt a rush of anger and frustration at the girl’s relentless struggle. He brought his hand up, but just as he was about to slap her hard across the face again, the door was kicked open from the outside.Thomas was startled as the door slammed open with a violent ‘bang’. Almost instantly, a man with a thunderous expression strode through the entry and landed a harsh kick against Thomas’ sternum, sending him flying backward.“Y-You…” His eyes widened when he took in the familiar face before him and he faltered as panic rose in him.Thomas knew the man. He knew him so well that the recognition itself made his bones tremble with fear. This was the man who haunted the urban legends of Bradfort City—Tony Hart, the fourth son of the Hart family and y

By the time she woke up, Tony had already arrived outside her apartment.The moment she opened her eyes, which were still bleary with sleep, she was immediately cradled in his firm embrace once more as he carried her into the building.His arms were like a warm cage containing her scent. She was fully awake now and she clung onto the front of his shirt as she quietly buried her face into his chest, breathing in and growing attached to his familiar scent.Tony tightened his grip on her as they made their way through the green boulevard and toward the apartment lobby. They then ran into an anxious Estelle, who had been waiting outside the building.Estelle had been feeling uneasy ever since she saw Kris earlier that afternoon. After she found out that Myra was going to meet up with Thomas for dinner at Zion Club, she had cajoled Shawn into going as well.When Shawn called Estelle earlier to inform her of what had happened, she had wanted to go up to Kris and give her a good beating.It

However, just because Myra could not strike against Kris now, it did not mean that she never would. Myra did not see the need to back down after the other girl had provoked her.A searing pain drew her from her thoughts. She hissed in protest and looked up to meet Tony’s dark gaze. His orbs were a dark, depthless ocean that was devoid of emotion. The pain ebbed away just as quickly and he softened as he tended to her wound.“You don’t have to bother yourself with this anymore. Just leave everything else to me.” He sounded cool and distant, like he was trying to suppress his anger. Nonetheless, his words warmed her.Myra watched as he fumbled slightly to treat the wound on her arm. For once, he wasn’t his usual graceful self. Abruptly, she reached out and wrapped an arm around his lean waist, murmuring, “I think it’s time we go public with our relationship, Tony.”She no longer wanted to brood over or consider what could happen if she disclosed her relationship with him. To hell with t

Rachel tried to calm Cameron down while winking at her daughter.When Kris received her mother’s hint, she bit on her lips while her eyes turned red, as if she was forcing her tears back.“Dad, what I did today was truly reckless, but it was Thomas who begged me to do it at first. He said that he has admired Myra for a long time, so he hoped that I could help him get closer to her. Also, I have always been afraid of her snatching the shares of the Stark Group from your hands through Tony’s support. After all, we all clearly know her ambitions. With that in mind, I did all of this for you, Dad…”“For me?” Cameron’s face grew colder as his eyes were filled with disdain. “You think I don’t know what you are actually thinking of? Kris, I’m happy that you don’t want your sister to get the shares of the Stark Group, but don’t forget that she is still my daughter—no matter how much you hate her. She is your own sister! How could you do something like this to hurt her? If you are able to plot

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
