"You were just two months old. You could sleep for hours on end, from ten to a whole 20 in a day. However, then, one day, you just stopped. "You wouldn't sleep. You just kept crying and crying. We were worried sick, thinking you were ill. But when we checked the calendar, we realized it was the day they... they executed your real dad."What?!Zara's eyes widened in shock. "Executed? What do you mean?""Your real dad, Mr. Gibson, or Xever as he was called, had a company. It did really great, but then it all fell apart. The company failed, and he got caught up in some serious trouble with the law. "The police took him away. I'm not sure what exactly he did, but it was bad enough that they gave him the death penalty."Zara was speechless. She could not believe that was her story.Xever? The name seemed familiar, like she had heard it before. However, she could not place it. She did not dwell on it and instead asked, "And my real mom?"Sharon looked sad as she shook her head. "Yo

"Mr. Webb, Ms. Lambert is asking about that villa," she whispered. Shelby? A glint of ice flashed in Yosef's eyes. Why was she digging into that villa all of a sudden... Did Zara put her up to it?He could tell something was up with Zara's mood.Did she figure out the whole story or just bits and pieces?Yosef had just walked into the banquet venue. There was no turning back then. He caught Charvi's eye, and she got the hint. She nodded and backed off.He kept his cool and kept on walking in.That year's big Starwart Convention had the theme 'Flowers Galore'.The fancy lights in the room looked like carved flowers, and the big rugs on the floor had flower patterns all over them. Even the flowers in the corners were special ones flown in from far away. Everywhere, it was all about being fancy and rich.It was like stepping into a whole new world, all shiny and full of life. There were guys in sharp suits and shiny shoes and ladies in pretty dresses with their hair all done up.

"Ha! I'd love to introduce my daughter to you, but I doubt you'd be interested!"The others quickly joined in, saying, "Come on, Mr. Xenos. You can't just offer up your daughter like that! My sister has had her eye on Mr. Webb for ages! Mr. Webb, she just graduated from college, and she's here today. Let me bring her over!"Yosef gave a small, polite smile. "I'm flattered by your offers, but I'm already married."The room buzzed with surprise. No one had heard a thing! The president of Azure Cloud Group getting hitched was big news. How had it stayed so quiet?"Who's the lucky lady you married, Mr. Webb?""Everyone here probably knows her," Yosef said. He never planned to hide his marriage. At the Stewart family's grand party, he felt it was the perfect time to introduce Zara as his wife. "She used to be my..."Before he could finish and say 'secretary', a crisp and cool male voice cut in, stopping Yosef's announcement. "No official stamp, no marriage certificate—what kind of mar

"I heard you two arguing from way over there. You're like brothers. Why give people something to giggle about? Yosef, Shawn, you went to high school together. Has it been so long that you've forgotten?"Maxwell really hoped to patch things up between them.However, Yosef and Shawn were like their suits—one black, one white. They were total opposites.In the big hall that was lit up by a fancy chandelier, they stood a few steps apart and were staring each other down. Maxwell's words took them back ten years."Shawn, you lost the bet. I don't want to see you in Starville tomorrow. Stay away from me.""You think you could've won without me letting you? Yosef, remember, you won because I let you."Back then, they were just kids. They were wild and fiery. The fight they started a long time ago was later turned into a big mess. How could a few words fix it?Maxwell saw they were not talking and tried again, "If you don't remember the old stuff, let it go. You'll both be in Starville f

Chapter 465

Zara walked out of the hospital but did not go straight to her car. Instead, she strolled down the road with no particular place to go.The rain that had been threatening all day finally began to pour down in big drops.She ducked into a convenience store with other people escaping the rain. Feeling hungry, she picked out a pre-made meal and handed it to the clerk to warm up. Then, she sat down by the window and ate slowly.Maybe the meal was not fresh or perhaps her mind was too full of worries, but after a few bites, she just could not eat anymore. Zara pushed the food away and gazed out at the rain.She had been online, looking up Xever and Xever Group. They said that everything left a mark. Even though it had been over 20 years, she found some traces of the past.The story went that a mine collapse, which took over a hundred lives, was the beginning of the end for Xever Group.The authorities were relentless, uncovering one illegal activity after another.

Yosef let out a scornful laugh. "Shawn, what gives you the right to take my wife with you?"He did not stress the words 'my wife' too much, but they stood out sharply.Shawn tilted his umbrella back to show his face, his expression cool and composed. "Yosef, of all the things you've done behind Zara's back, which one actually you for the 'husband' title you so proudly claim?"Zara felt a jolt of nerves and quickly chimed in, "What things have you done?"Yosef pushed his car door open and stepped out. Charvi was right there with an umbrella for him. The rain tapped on it in a steady rhythm, like a drumbeat. He said in a heavy voice, "Zara, you're coming home with me first."Shawn's reply was tinged with sarcasm. "What's the matter? Scared she'll find out something?"Yosef's eyes were dark as ink, his gaze sharp as he shot back, "You think it's better if she knows? What can she even do with that knowledge?"Zara looked at them, puzzled. "Know what?""I'd rather know the truth tha

Zara stumbled unexpectedly, her umbrella colliding with Shawn's. Raindrops scattered from the umbrella's surface, landing in small puddles on the ground.However, soon, the steady footsteps broke through the puddles. Zara paused, lifting her head to see Shawn's bodyguards forming a semicircle in front of them.Yosef stopped in his tracks, his expression turning sour in an instant.The tension that had been building was about to explode. Shawn declared, "She won't be following you anymore."Yosef glared at the bodyguard in his way, his gaze sharp as a knife. "You think you can take her from me?"Shawn just smiled and said, "Let's see."Yosef had been itching for a fight.At his command to bring the lady back, his bodyguards appeared from the shadows and sprang into action. They faced off against Shawn's men in the pouring rain.Zara could not believe it. "What are you doing? Fighting? Right here on the street?"The rain had left the streets nearly empty, but it was not dark yet

Nord took a quick look in the rearview mirror. Shawn did not say to stop, so Nord kept his foot down and they sped along.Zara bit her lip and turned to Shawn with a fierce look. "Tell him to stop!"Suddenly, Shawn leaned in close—way too close. Everyone had a limit to how close was too close, and Shawn had crossed it. Without thinking, Zara reached into her bag, pulled out a small knife, and lashed out!However, Shawn was faster. He grabbed her hand and looked at the knife. It was a compact, foldable blade—short but deadly. Then, he looked back at Zara, his eyes steady.He was aware that the unexpected fight, the sudden kidnapping, the wild car chase, and the crash had shaken Zara up. She had reacted on instinct to protect herself. Yet, in a gentle voice, he asked, "You tried to use a knife on me?" Zara's lips were pressed together tightly. Even Nord glanced in the rearview mirror with concern. "Boss, are you okay?" Shawn's reply was calm. "I'm fine." He quickly took the knife

As memories raced through her mind, Zara let out a cold laugh. Suddenly, she blurted out, "Don't you see how ridiculous this is? You're the one who broke up with me and left for another country ten years ago. "And now, here you are, showing up out of the blue and wanting to whisk me away. What do you take me for?"Am I some pet you pick up when you're fond of it and give it away when you're not, only to claim it back whenever you feel like it?"Shawn gazed at her stiff profile and said in his usual calm voice, "I knew you still had some anger to get out. What else do you want to yell at me for? Go ahead, yell until you're done. "However, after that, no more treating me like I'm a threat."It was as if her defensive stance toward him deeply saddened him.Zara threw out one more line. "I don't like you anymore."Shawn showed no emotion. "You like Yosef?"Without hesitation, Zara answered, "Yes, I do.""What about him do you like? The way he's used you like a tool for the past

Chapter 470

That night, Shawn held Zara close as they stepped out. He took off his coat and gently placed it over her shoulders. Fixing her collar, he whispered, "What's got you drinking so much? Something on your mind?"She was too far gone, so she was leaning against him and humming softly. She was lost in her own little world. Shawn had never seen her like that before and could not bear to leave her by herself, so he decided to take her to a hotel for the night.At the hotel, they needed to check in with their details. Shawn steadied her and asked, "Got your ID on you?"She responded with a sing-songy, "Mhm!""Your ID," Shawn repeated, a mix of patience and laughter in his voice."Mhm!""Your ID, you silly goose," he said with a chuckle.Then, she remembered, "Oh, it's in my pocket!"While Shawn searched her pocket for the ID, Zara gazed up at him, squinting. It took her a blurry moment to recognize him. "Shawn?"He looked down at her. "Yeah?"She gave a wry, disbelieving smile. "Shaw
