Semua Bab Mr. Webb, Make Your Move!: Bab 511 - Bab 520

The most popular club in Starville was West Palace.In a private room, dim lights and suggestive shadows danced as women in skimpy outfits moved behind a screen. The night was getting heaty. Yaxley, however, was bored.He reclined on the couch. There was a pretty woman sitting on the floor by his feet. She leaned against his knees, pouring his drinks and offering him fruit. She pretended to be close but was actually keeping her distance.After ending a phone call, he tossed his phone aside. The woman quickly popped a grape into his mouth and called out sweetly, "Mr. Lark!""Good girl," Yaxley said with a smile, patting her head like she was a little puppy. Chase walked in just then and asked, "Who was on the phone?""It was our Mr. Webb," Yaxley replied, enjoying the sweet grapes. "The hospital insider told us Yosef took Ms. Lowry for a blood test. Looks like she might be pregnant."Chase's face fell when he heard the news. He sat down on the couch, looking gloomy. Another woma

Zara kept her eyes on the TV, ignoring Yosef. Yosef did not linger and just walked out into the night.Outside, his expression grew serious. He asked Charvi, his voice low and urgent, "Did someone tell my dad about Zara and me going to the company today?"He figured it had to be the reason why his father wanted to see him so urgently."It might have been Mrs. Parker," Charvi whispered back.…The Webb family's home was shrouded in darkness. Yosef's car rolled into the driveway, its headlights cutting through the gloom.A helper rushed to open his car door. "Why is it so dark?" Yosef asked as he stepped out."The mistress thought it best to keep the lights off. The master hasn't been sleeping well. Maybe the light's been bothering him," the helper explained.Ethan was not the same man who used to greet Yosef with anger or a slammed fist. Things had changed.It had only been a couple of weeks since they discovered Zara was part of the Gibson family. However, in that short time,

Zara really did not want to recall the events of that day.She even did not remember much about it anymore.Some people were like that. Subconsciously, they deliberately forgot and avoided those things that caused them pain and fear as a means of self-protection. After all, psychological pain was in no way inferior to physical torture.Zara only remembered that it was summer. She was very busy during that period, having worked overtime for nearly half a month. There were even a few days when she slept directly at the company.One busy morning, she had already met with clients, signed contracts, and planned out Yosef's next week's work, sorting tasks by importance and who needed what done first. She was just about to check in with him for a final okay when she went to his office and found it empty. Charvi walked by just then, and she asked, "Charvi, have you seen Mr. Webb?" "Zara, have you been so busy that you forgot? Today's the welcome party for new students at Starville Univ

The second-in-command, Eric, looked over his shoulder to check that his leader had not arrived. He then licked his lips and asked, "Tell me, do you really have 45 grand?"Zara turned to gaze out the window. It was pitch-black outside, with no lights in the old construction site. There was just the moonlight streaming in.Was he asking her for the money then because the others were gone?Zara took a deep breath to calm herself and nodded. "Mmm." She did.He ripped the tape off her mouth and pulled out his phone. "Hurry up! Give me your account number and password!"He was not even scared of the police finding the account, just like his boss had warned. Zara realized that might be her chance to get out of that mess.She bit her lip and told him everything he needed to know.Eric quickly transferred the money from her account, his eyes lighting up with glee. "Wow! There's really money! Unbelievable! I'm only getting 12 grand for this job, and now I've got 45 grand!"Zara said soft

A beam of light from a flashlight cut through the darkness, landing on Eric, who was sprawled on the ground. Zara had just wriggled free from her ropes when a stern voice barked, "What are you doing?!"Then, there was another urgent shout, "Grab her!"Zara dodged a man who leaped at her, scooped up a handful of sand, and threw it in his eyes. Blinded, he stumbled as she dashed for the window."Don't just stand there! Catch her now!"At the man's yell, three others sprang into action. Zara kicked against the window ledge and leaped out just as their fingers grazed her. She aimed for a sand pile she had spotted earlier, hoping it would break her fall. However, in her rush, she misjudged the angle and tumbled down the sandy slope, rolling to a stop.Pain shot through her. It was so intense she could not tell where it hurt most. She knew the men would be right behind her. Ignoring the pain, Zara pushed herself up and bolted.The night was pitch black, the perfect cover. She slipped
