Semua Bab Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!: Bab 341 - Bab 350

Yaxley's eyebrow shot up, and he replied without missing a beat, "Of course. You're my cousin, aren't you?""Remember what you promised today." Leah hung up. Yaxley stared at his phone, half annoyed, half amused. Who could possibly bully her?Leah was her parents' only treasure, their darling daughter. They loved her more than anything. Anyone who messed with her would have to answer to them....In the evening, Zara was scrolling through her phone on the way to the subway.Cecil was texting her, curious about her new job.Zara was feeling down and told her all about her rough day. Cecil's temper flared up like a match to a fuse, and she ranted about Leah non-stop before finally ending with a verdict: [Seems like anyone who falls for Yosef has a screw loose.] It was just like Beatrice, Leah, and… Oops? Cecil caught herself and added: [Except you, of course.]Zara's lips twitched. [No need to make exceptions. I was pretty messed up before too.]Cecil shot back: [Everyone mee

It was Nina from the office who told Zara.She said Leah went to hang out at a bar with some friends after work yesterday. Suddenly, the music stopped, the bright lights came on, and police officers showed up.Everyone thought it was just a regular check for banned stuff or fire hazards, but a lot of people were crowded around one of the private rooms. Curious, Nina pushed through the crowd and saw them helping a woman out.The people watching said the woman was drunk and someone had been mean to her.The woman kept her head down, her hair hiding her face. Her head was buried in her clothes, so the others could not see who it was. Nina, however, recognized her clothes.Leah had been wearing that same outfit when she came to cause trouble at Schmidt Group yesterday...Zara was shocked.She did not like Leah's weird behavior and the scenes she caused. Even so, she had never wanted anything bad to happen to Leah, especially not like what happened last night.Did Yosef not tell Cha

Yaxley listened, his face a mix of emotions. He was trying to decide if he could trust Zara.Zara took a deep breath and said clearly, "Ms. Nox, you think I'm against you because of Yosef."But I broke up with Yosef over six months ago, and I've never thought about getting back with him. Not before, not now, not ever. So, I don't see why I'd consider you a rival in love."Right when Yosef walked into the police station with Charvi, he heard Zara's strong words.He stopped, looking at her with a deep, dark gaze.They stood at opposite ends of the hallway. Zara looked past Leah and Yaxley and met his eyes, her heart skipping a beat.She did not lose her cool and went on, "Also, Morter Corp just pushed back our meeting. They might still work with Schmidt Group, so you can't say you wrecked my deal. No deal wrecked, no grudge."And lastly, I'm just a regular employee and have no backer. You have the Nox family and the Lark family. Why would I mess with you and get myself into troubl

Shelby felt the heat from Harper's body and could not help but grip the floor with her toes. She whispered, trying to push him away, "Stop it... This is about Zara.""What's up with Ms. Lowry now?" Harper asked, sounding like he did not really care. He gently pushed her shirt collar aside and kissed her neck. "Didn't she head over to the Schmidts of Westwood? How could she cause any trouble?"Shelby's neck was sensitive, and she shivered when Harper's lips touched her skin. She pushed against his chest, trying to focus. "What do you know about the Nox family of Sylverton?""Yaxley's aunt and uncle?" he asked."Yes."Harper shrugged. "I think they have just one daughter. They got her late in life and spoiled her rotten. She's running some project for Yosef now, right?"Looking up, he started putting the pieces together. "Wait, is Ms. Lowry in trouble with the Nox family this time?"Shelby did not answer. She was finding it hard to talk.Harper gently pushed her back onto the bed

Zara did not want any trouble, so she quickly wrapped up the call. "Thanks for the heads-up, Mr. Lark. I've got it under control. It's late, so you should head home and get some rest."She hung up, but in a flash, Yosef yanked her out of the room and pinned her against the wall.Instinctively, Zara pushed against his chest. "Yosef!"With one hand on the wall and the other lifting her chin, Yosef's presence was intimidating. "Do you always talk about stuff like this? Have I never helped you? Didn't I help you out at the Hoster family's estate? What about the incident at Epitome Gastronomy? And your mom's artificial heart, didn't I help with that?"Zara turned away, breaking free from his grip. "Those were Mr. Lark's words. If you have a problem with that, you should take it up with Mr. Lark. What's it got to do with me?"Yosef did not respond to her comment but looked straight into her eyes. "Think back a little. When you were in trouble with debt collectors, wasn't I there to he
