Lahat ng Kabanata ng Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!: Kabanata 461 - Kabanata 470

"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

"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

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. Each one was worse t

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

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
