Standing before love Can’t help it
After the confrontation with Sean, Myra’s good mood back when she was playing poker with the few men had vanished altogether. She was just about to ask whether he’d mind taking a taxi home, but the man standing before her suddenly circled to the passenger seat and pulled the car door open. Upon seeing that she remained motionless, Tony even arched an eyebrow in surprise. “What’s wrong?” Then, he slid right into the passenger seat.The words were on the tip of Myra’s tongue, but as she watched his successive movements, she swallowed them. Never mind, my place is indeed not far from his apartment. Hence, she bent down and slipped into the driver’s seat before promptly starting the engine and driving away.Even though it was night time, the sky outside was brightly lit. In the near distance was a huge LED screen that was playing a massive advertisement. It was an advertisement for a shampoo, and the female model was someone familiar to her—Lyla Fisher, who’d now returned in a cloud of gl

Myra clenched her fist when she recalled how her mother ventured out on searches to find her husband during her final days like a madwoman, all the while ignoring other people’s advice. Staring straight at the woman before her with a chilly gaze, Myra smirked. “You don’t need to beat around the bush. I suppose you have something to tell me since you came to me. What is it that you’re planning to do this time? Do you want me to give up my inheritance rights over Stark Group?”“Sis…” Kris stomped her foot in aggrievedness. “There must be a misunderstanding between us! Our father had me come to you, since you didn’t pick up my calls when I called you prior to this. The company is in trouble. A few of the shareholders were suddenly against our father being the director. Therefore, in order to prevent the company from being taken over by outsiders, he thought of reaching out to you for help. Don’t you have twenty percent of Stark Group’s shares?”“What’s the matter? Aren’t you and your mot

“Thank you, Mr. Clark.” Eve heaved a sigh of relief while packing up the soup that she brought with her, ready to go back home. Before leaving, she smiled at him gently. “Do come visit me sometimes.”“Definitely.” Leo nodded with a subtle smile. “Thank you, Mrs. Chase.”“It’s nothing. In fact, I should be the one thanking you!” Now that Eve was satisfied, she chuckled when she saw the thermal lunch box he held. “I didn’t know you cook for yourself. You’re a fine young man.”However, Leo merely shook his head, his response seemingly indicative of something else. “I didn’t make this. Somebody else did, and she was the one who delivered this to the office. I am merely handing this to the designated recipient.”“Oh, then it must be someone’s wife who delivered this. He’s a lucky man.” Eve could smell the rich aroma of the soup despite the relatively short time they spent conversing with each other.On the other hand, Leo wore a knowing smile while replying, “Yeah. He sure is a lucky man.”

After Lyla knocked on the door, Tony’s deep and sexy voice came through. “Come in.”When she opened the door to enter his office, she knew he was smoking despite the fact that he had his back to her, as she could see the smoke rising from behind the chair. Even though she didn’t get to see his face, she could sense his regal and majestic air.It’s a pity that he doesn’t belong to me, she mused. “You sure hired a lot of spies to work for you. I am impressed.” Lyla let out a chuckle after she spoke. Ever since they became allies, she had been getting increasingly unscrupulous.Meanwhile, Tony narrowed his eyes while informing her in an aloof manner, “There are a stack of photos on the table that I suppose will be of use to you.”Despite her slight surprise, Lyla smiled when she recalled the phone call she received at Zion Club that provided her with the information. “I wonder what your terms are, Mr. Hart. I am still worried that I might not be able to repay you.”Even though that was w

“I’ll be busy, so I won’t be joining you.” With that, Myra gave Estelle a wink before turning to leave.On the other hand, Estelle gaped at her as she left, so much so that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets. No longer able to suppress her anger, she let out a howl. “Myra Stark, you rascal! What did Shawn promise you? Let go of me, you b*stard! I’ll break both of your legs if you dare touch me—Um—” Her voice was muffled out, and things soon heated up.Myra paused before smiling out of relief. It’s time someone teach her a lesson. From what she could see, Shawn’s feelings toward Estelle were genuine, so she was certain Shawn would treasure Estelle.Myra arrived at the cafeteria on time, but Lyla was nowhere to be found. She wasn’t in a hurry, so she ordered a glass of lemonade after taking a seat. After some thought, she ordered another glass. While sipping on her drink, she glanced at the bustling street view outside. The sun had set rather early. As darkness descended, the s

What are you doing?” Before Myra could react, and just when Lyla was about to kneel on the ground, a cheerless voice came through. While Myra froze, Lyla was smiling when nobody could see her. After that, the two of them turned around to cast their glances in the direction of the voice, only to see Sean marching toward them with a grim look on his face while holding onto his phone. With the silent cafeteria as a backdrop, the ceiling lights that shone on him seemed to make him glow. However, it didn’t soften his gaze as he stared at Myra with a steely look.“Sean, I’m alright. Didn’t I tell you I’m having a drink with Myra? I can solve this on my own, so don’t—” Lyla began explaining herself in a flurry of panic. When she turned to look at Myra, she inadvertently showed him the angry slap mark on her left cheek. Then, as if realizing what she had done, she tried to turn away to hide that mark, but Sean held her head in place by pinching on her chin.“Sean, I’m fine, really…” Although
Last Updated : 2024-08-19Standing before love There’s nothing to say
“That won’t be necessary, considering that there’s nothing else to say between us.” Myra wiped her face with her sleeve. The sight of Lyla and Sean being all lovey-dovey was a sore sight for eyes.Somewhere near them, a waiter opened the door to the cafeteria, while the manager greeted the four people who came through flatteringly, “Allow me to offer my sincerest of greetings, Mr. Hart, Mr. Windrow, Mr. Renaud, and Mr. Samson. What brings you?”The four men before him represented the four most prestigious families in Bradfort City. Having worked his way up to his position as manager, the man knew who they were, which was why he wanted to make sure he didn’t cross them by offering his best services.The four men were none other than Tony Hart and his friends. As soon as they entered the cafeteria, their handsome looks and extraordinary temperament garnered the attention of all the customers. Given their graceful movements, it wasn’t hard to surmise that they were of noble birth. Howeve

“Sean, I have never done you wrong.” Myra suddenly raised her head and looked into the eyes of the happy couple before her. “I don’t know what is the matter with Lyla and your baby, but I have never hurt your child. I have never forgotten my duty as your wife over the past two years. Not only am I serious about our family, but I even kept our marriage a secret and went to work as a designer in the company for your sake. But everything turned out to be my wishful thinking!”She was always in business attire, which she put on for him as she shed the finicky airs of the daughter of a wealthy family and plunged into the workplace. Although the workplace was beset with difficulties, she never complained of exhaustion or thought of flinching for the sake of his career. Sadly, her smart attire looked intimidating at a glance, for it seemed too rigid and out of place compared to the long green dress that showed off one’s tenderness.“Do you know nothing about the baby?” Sean narrowed his eyes

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
