For some reason, Cedric felt like Hannah had escaped from his control without his knowing. It was an uncomfortable sensation, making him ball his hands cautiously. Hostility colored his eyes as his instincts told him Hannah couldn't be left roaming free anymore.

Her existence would only serve to be an obstacle on his way forward.

Cedric's intuition had always been spot on. Right now, murderous intent surfaced within him.

Darren noticed this and immediately turned to stare right at him.

He wouldn't let anyone hurt even a single hair on Hannah's head!

Cedric saw the warning look in Darren's eyes and quickly pulled Misty up. "Let's not waste our time with them any longer. We still have things to do."

Cedric had come to the police station to take note of their progress while Joseph looked after Sheila in the hospital.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Hannah suddenly asked, "Don't you worry you might get nightmares, Mr. Garner?"

Cedric stopped in his tracks and turned around

    Darren was being so careful about such a minor injury.Hannah found it amusing, yet also incredibly touching. She cooperated with him as he tended to her wounds.After Darren was done with her arm, he then bandaged her fingertips before coming to a stop.He sat cross-legged on the floor, eyes downcast. Feeling playful, Hannah reached out with her right hand to touch his lashes.The ticklish sensation made Darren blink."Mr. Winchester," she sighed. "I've made you worry yet again.""All that matters is that you're home safe." Darren held her hand, kissing her fingertips. "Do whatever you please, Hannah. I'll be sure to keep you safe."He had always been cold and indifferent to things, including his siblings and everyone else. But Hannah was different.Hannah cared about many things—her family, her friends—she even cared about Darren, whom she'd met only because they were married on paper. She would give charity to help those in need. She was like an everlasting flame, selfless

    "Dr Garner," Hannah said gently. "Old Mr. Garner's gift is already sufficient. I can't possibly accept something else.""I insist on you taking a look at it first, Ms. Emerson," Joseph said.Unable to decline further, Hannah took the documents and flipped through them. The contents surprised her.It was a school transfer application form for Cromer Academy.Naomi gasped. "Is this actually Cromer Academy?"Cromer Academy was the most famous and advanced education institution in Hopeldon. Its founder was a powerful individual, who was rumored to be backed by even more powerful people. Their core principle was to only accept elite individuals, such as those with at least one special skill or strength in a particular area.They didn't bother with all the rich families' attempts at enrolling their children with them regardless of how much money those families offered. It was for good reason too, as all of the academy's graduates were the elite amongst elites. Being able to graduate

    "Do you know where you're standing right now?" Misty asked proudly. "This is Cromer Academy. It's not just any school you can bribe your way into. Where did you get this uniform? Did you have someone make a fake one?"She sneered, saying haughtily, "Our school is very strict. I suggest you leave first before you embarrass yourself when the guards stop you from entering."Hannah was nothing more than a lowlife from the slums who never even finished her first year of college. How could she have gotten into Cromer Academy? She didn't think bribing her way into this academy would work, right?"Do you know her, Misty?" a student asked curiously. "Is she a new student?"Most of the students at Cromer Academy stayed away from the gossip and news amongst the socialite groups, preferring to devote themselves to their own talents instead. They all had bright futures ahead of them after all. They were able to make their family proud with their own singular achievements, so there was no need t

    The student had seen too many people like Hannah, who only cared about their vanity and ego. She couldn't even focus on her academics, yet here she was parading herself all over some minor talent? Who did Hannah think she was to be capable of making it to the top ten?What a joke!Hannah wasn't angry at all. She met the student's gaze and smiled, saying, "We'll see when the time comes.""Don't cry for your mommy when you fail," the student said before heading into the building.As Hannah walked inside, the other students made way for her, with some even waving hi to her. It was as if Hannah was a formidable presence in the school."Who was she?" Hannah asked the girl who was kind to her earlier. "Don't you know her? She's an honor student here!" The girl said, her eyes filled with admiration. "Her name is Morgan Lawson. She's a transfer student like you. She just came back from being abroad last semester."I heard she's won a ton of awards in her previous institutions. She even

    No one would waste their time with unnecessary things in such a period.The homeroom teacher informed them of their first test which would be held tomorrow before leaving the class. A dark glint flashed in Morgan's eyes before she went up to Hannah's desk. All the students' attention swiftly turned to the two of them."Can I help you?" Hannah asked, meeting her gaze.Though Hannah was sitting down, it was as if she was the menacing one there."Hannah Winchester, right?" Morgan asked arrogantly. "This is Cromer Academy, where we use our efforts and skills to stand our ground. If you think you can just pull some strings and get your way—think again!""I don't think I've ever said anything about pulling strings, have I, Morgan?" Hannah said, amused by Morgan's hostility. "What do you mean by this sudden proclamation? We're both transfer students. Are we supposed to be rivals?""You and I are not remotely the same, so don't you dare compare us!" Morgan scowled.

    What a class act."You don't know, but I do." Hannah grabbed Misty by the collar. "You can just stand in as a punching bag in place of everyone else, right?""Stop this, Hannah!" Misty cried, the cold winter wind making the blood drain from her face. She clung onto the window frame, yelling, "Let go of me!"She could die if she fell from this height! Her grip wouldn't loosen, not even if Hannah was still holding onto her!"I hate it when you act all proud in front of me, Misty." Hannah glanced down at the piles of snow, her breath creating white clouds in the air. "I've been really holding back from dealing with you."In the story, Hannah had a shitty life compared to Misty, who always lived happily. Why? Why did Hannah's life have to be filled with gloom and disappointment? Her family, her birthright, and her father had all been stolen away by Misty. Whenever Hannah tried staying away from all this, Misty would only find a way to barge back into her life.It was so infuriating

    Misty was crying so much she was shaking. She refused to let anyone get closer."That's enough. Go along now!" The teacher dispersed the crowd and then had some of the students hand Misty clothes to wrap around herself.Only then did she manage to head to the staff office.All students in Cromer Academy came from educated backgrounds and exceptional talent. Most of the arguments between them at most only amounted to quarrels. Hence this was the first time the teacher faced such a situation.Unfortunately, one of the parties involved couldn't stop crying while the other remained proud and not the least bit regretful."We'll call your parents," the teacher finally decided.After receiving the call, Matthew angrily made his way to the school with Claudia.Upon seeing both his daughters in the office, he forced a polite handshake with the teacher before asking sullenly, "What's going on?""Dad …" Misty wept even more upon seeing him.

    "Hannah Emerson! You're just kicking up a fuss! You ingrate!"Matthew was enraged because his wife and daughter had been beaten up, and he felt like his authority had been challenged. He picked up a book and threw it at Hannah. "You bastard! I'm going to beat you to death today because you don't know how to respect your parents!""Mr. Emerson!"Ms. Rochester was aghast and grabbed his arm. "Don't be impulsive! Please don't be impulsive!"She shot frantic looks at Hannah, saying, "Hannah, where are your parents? Go to the door and see why they aren't here yet!" She wanted Hannah to leave so that she wouldn't get hurt. "Aren't I her damn parent! It's my right to hit my child! Don't hold me back!" Matthew was shouting and grabbing anything he could find to throw at Hannah. "This little bitch doesn't have any parents! I'll pretend I never had a bastard like her!" As he spoke, he grabbed the thermos from Ms. Rochester's desk and threw it at Hannah's forehead. However, the ther

This was a great feat considering that Darren had managed to maintain his purity after being with her all this time. Having just celebrated their marriage, he had finally enjoyed some moments of satisfaction, only to face the complication with Erica.  Lately, Hannah had been in low spirits. Darren wouldn't be so brutish as to insist on intimate matters with her when she was in such an emotional state. He had to suppress his desires.However, now she took the initiative to seduce him. For a man who had finally given in to his desires, it wasn't so easy to let go.  Demonstrating his unyielding nature, Darren showed Hannah that he was not to be trifled with. Carefully timing his actions, he eventually released her.  Hannah, now lying on the bed, had a gentle gaze with a faint blush on her face. Her cheeks rested on the pillo

    Even with their current financial difficulties, the atmosphere between them remained harmonious and warm.The smile in Hannah's eyes deepened a bit.Finding her uncle was undoubtedly a joyous event for her. After all, they hadn't been in contact for so many years, and confirming that Elvis' family members were reasonable and good people made her even happier."Grandma has never given up looking for you all these years, Uncle Elvis."Hannah briefly shared her thoughts. "I thought of taking you and Lilian to see Grandma directly to prevent her from overthinking.""Of course! Of course!"Jennifer laughed and agreed. She said, "If it weren't for my poor health and being hospitalized, I would have gone to see her too."Things were settled.Jennifer still had one more dialysis session in the coming days.

    Jennifee hadn't looked before, but as soon as she did, she was almost startled.Under the shock, she even failed to contain her voice and exclaimed in surprise, "Elvis?"  Her husband, who rarely got involved in affairs and was always practical, was now standing up excitedly. His eyes were fixed tightly on the two entering the room.  He seemed as though he was about to pounce on those people.  Lilian was also stunned. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Elvis' hand, her face carrying a hint of embarrassment.  She lowered her voice desperately and said, "Dad, what are you doing?"  She sensed that the eyes of the entire ward had turned their way under Jennifer's exclamation.  The extraordinarily good-looking couple also looked over.  Her cheeks turned red. She felt both nervous and embarrassed. She forcefully tugged on Elvis' hand and whispered urgently, "Dad, hurry up and sit down."  However, Elvis not only didn't sit down, but he took a step forward and called out

    At Hopeldon's top hospital, Elvis sat by the bedside as he watched the summer breeze rustle through the leaves outside the window. A look of realization crossed his face.  "Mom, I bought your favorite food."Just then, a clear and lively voice rang out.  A girl with twin tails briskly entered the ward while carrying a meal with a smile on her face. "I was lucky to find discounted meat. I bought some. Mom, you have to eat more."  The pale woman on the bed smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay, I'll eat more."  After that, Jennifer noticed that Elvis, sitting on the side, was still staring blankly out of the window while lost in thought.  Jennifer frowned. She said softly, "Elvis, set up the table. It's time for lunch. Elvis. Elvis?"  "Huh?"Elvis suddenly snapped out of his reverie. Noticing both his wife and daughter looking at him, he forced a smile.  He rubbed his hands and stood up. "Lilian, did you bring the food back already? Let's have lunch then!"    "Dad, what ha

    She gently touched the scars on her face through the veil and then, with a sweet smile, began typing on the keyboard. "It would be great if I could help you. I'll be waiting for you to marry me!"As she replied to the message, her phone vibrated again. Robert asked with concern, "How did you get hold of these documents? Are you in any danger? Your safety is the most important thing!"Seeing his genuine concern, Misty felt even more convinced that her choice was right. The smile on her face seemed impossible to fade.  She had done her research lately. Cosmetic surgery here was not particularly advanced, and her facial scars wouldn't be perfectly repaired even with surgery. Meanwhile, Arovia was renowned for its excellent plastic surgery industry. Although dealing with her facial scars would be troublesome, new technology could provide a complete recovery. The only deterrent was the daunting cost.  No matter how regretful Matthew might feel, he wouldn't spend such a large s

    She was even draped in a thin windbreaker that covered her from head to toe.Despite the light and thin fabric, it was an autumn windbreaker. Wearing it seemed unsuitable for the current season. "The car and the house both have air conditioning. How could I get heatstroke?" Misty's smile widened.    Her fingers entwined around the belt of the windbreaker at her waist and gently pulled it twice. She spoke softly, "But since you want to see what's inside, I'll take it off, okay?"  Following that, she pulled off her belt before Cedric.  The fabric of the windbreaker was silky. After the belt came off, she shuddered, and the windbreaker slipped down from her shoulders.  She wore a semi-sheer dress that draped over her skin, gently showcasing the contours of her figure in a subtle and alluring way.  Then, she raised her hand and took off her hat. Her long hair was neatly arranged behind her head, revealing her forehead and a pair of seemingly innocent eyes.  Below her eye

    Just as she wished, Cedric felt an immediate dryness in his mouth.  As the male protagonist in the book, he had indeed lived a smooth life without experiencing many setbacks.He was always the object of admiration by others since he was young.When had he ever bowed his head to anyone?  Even when he failed in the competition for the heir of Garner Group, he remained the second young master of the company. No one dared to say much in front of him.  Only Diana was different.Since that day, Diana had suddenly become completely different.  The way she looked at him no longer held admiration, but instead, it was cold, as if she was scrutinizing him.  Although she still lived with him and would occasionally show him her gentle side, that sense of discordance grew stronger.  The previous Diana used to be completely submissive to him. She would believe and actively solve all his problems.  But now?He seemed to have become a plaything in her hands.He was summoned at will a

He wiped his face in silence before saying, "Of course, no problem. Not only did you guys just help me, but finding my family has also been a long-standing wish of mine. I'm willing to cooperate with whatever you need me to do."  He hesitated for a moment and then added in a low voice, "I believe your wife's grandmother is really old, am I right? From what you just said, it seems her health is not great. Maybe we shouldn't disturb her before getting the results."  He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm in my prime.

Were you born here?"She pursed her lips, staring at him before asking in rapid succession, "Who else is in your family?
