"I'll handle it myself."

Darren evaded her touch instinctively and said in a low voice, "Please wait."

Clearly rejected, Lisa had no choice but to step back as she bit her lips.

After arranging the fruit platter and brewing the tea, Darren personally brought them to Hannah.

"Ladies first," he said with a gentle expression. "After I'm done here, I'll take you down for lunch."

Hannah nodded.

At that moment, she distinctly felt a sharp gaze fixed on her hand, as if she had committed some heinous crime.

Meeting that gaze head-on, Lisa didn't flinch as she looked at her with hostility.

Hannah hesitated for a moment. Her eyes showed a flicker of curiosity.

Things were getting interesting.

With a faint smile, she held Darren's hand and lowered her voice. "Just don't take too long, alright?"

She looked small and young in her uniform.

Her eyes glistened as she tilted her pretty face upward.

Her voice was soft and sweet, exuding a touch of irresistible charm.

It was as if she

    "Mr. Winchester," Lisa replied.Her throat inexplicably tightened."I don't think it's a waste of time to serve Hannah," Darren responded coldly. "I enjoy doing anything for her. You've been interfering too much."With that, he held Hannah's hand and left with long strides.Lisa was left standing there alone, lost in thought.The next day, as soon as Hannah entered the school gates, she was met with countless curious gazes.Creating a scene on the very first day of school was quite rare at Cromer Academy.No wonder she received so many complicated looks along the way.While Cromer Academy didn't emphasize grades, the pressure of the regular tests was still present.Hannah's desk neighbor was a girl with glasses and a round face, named Yennie Kingster.Upon seeing her, Yennie didn't keep her distance. Instead, she cautiously lowered her voice and said, "Hannah."Her expression of awe was intriguing, making Hannah chuckle. "I heard that you made a bet with Morgan about g

    Believing in someone who dropped out of college for two years might sound absurd. However, Yennie had a feeling that she wouldn't lose."Alright!" Morgan agreed. Despite being surprised, she also found it amusing. "The whole class can testify, I'll place this bet," she said in delight.This was truly amusing. All Hannah's efforts would only be useless. Did Hannah think she could easily surpass her, just like how she could easily surpass the others?This time, she had to utterly humiliate Hannah.She wanted her to understand that in certain places and with certain people, she would never fit in no matter how hard she tried to.The news of two prominent figures making a bet spread throughout the entire Cromer Academy almost instantly.Misty, who had bravely returned to school, also heard about it. With such juicy gossip, her embarrassing incident from yesterday had been completely overshadowed.Out of curiosity, some female classmates approached her and asked, "Misty,

    "He's busy." Hannah refused without missing a beat.There was no need to involve Darren in the mess that was the Emerson family. Before Matthew could lose his temper, she added with a smile, "Although Darren is busy, I'm not. I will be there tomorrow morning."Even though she no longer cared if her father gave her affection, she didn't mind causing trouble for Misty.Her mere existence was a pain to both Misty and Claudia, and as long as they were suffering, she was happy.As such, she didn't mind wasting her time on a frivolous meal if it would annoy the both of them.At her response, Matthew could not hold back his fury any longer and angrily threw his phone onto the ground. "This bitch! What a sorry excuse for a daughter!" he howled."What's wrong?" Claudia had been sitting glumly nearby and was stunned by Matthew's sudden outburst. "Who angered you? Are Hannah and Darren still not willing to come?" she asked hurriedly.Claudia could not conceal the flash of delight in

    Misty gritted her teeth in annoyance just thinking about how Hannah didn't deserve the life that she was living right now but kept a calm expression on her face."Ridiculous! Why do I need to suck up to her?"Matthew's anger was steadily rising and he slammed his hand on the table repeatedly to punctuate his words. "She doesn't even have to decency to greet her own father! She is a sorry excuse for a daughter!"Hannah seemed to find the entire situation amusing and she said, "My apologies, but I really won't call you 'Dad.'"She then crossed her arms before she added mockingly, "Since I never had a dad as a child, I naturally do not know how to call someone my dad. Children who were raised without their fathers are all like this so please don't be so upset, Mr. Emerson.""Ingrate!" Matthew howled. "Are you trying to give me a stroke?""It seems like it was a mistake for me to come today," Hannah said breezily. "It's clear this family doesn't welcome me so I will take my leave."

    Hannah didn't hold back her strength at all as she beat Mateo with the feather duster and Mateo's pained wails echoed throughout the house."Please stop beating me!" Mateo begged desperately. Though he had been rudely cursing at Hannah at the start, he could not keep his tough facade for long.Mateo sobbed breathlessly as he pleaded, "I'm sorry, I was wrong … Let me go … Mom, Dad, help me! It hurts!""Hannah!" Claudia shrieked. Her body was trembling, and she rushed forward to try and save Mateo from Hannah's merciless beating. "He is your brother! He's just a child; how could you be so heartless?"Hannah's eyes flashed when she saw Claudia rushing toward her. Perfect. After all, she wasn't satisfied with just disciplining a child!"Sure, he's young but if you don't teach them while they're young, they'll end up in jail in the future," Hannah said coolly and turned her attention back to Mateo.She raised the feather duster to hit Mateo again as she continued, "Now is the perfec

    Hannah was taken aback by Matthew and Claudia's silence regarding Mateo's situation.After relishing the expressions on their faces, Hannah smilingly dodged Claudia's extended hand and said, "Sure, I'll be right there."She was curious to see how much Matthew could withstand.Once she took her seat, the fearfully silent household staff served the dishes in an orderly manner.Matthew poured her a glass of wine and said warmly, "Hannah, I know you are resentful of me, and I realized I haven't been the best father over the past ten years. You're all grown up now, and I'm old."The strong-willed man seemed to have aged in a rare moment of vulnerability. He raised his glass and said, "If you're willing to give me a second chance to make amends, please join me in this toast. What do you say?"Hannah looked at him with mixed feelings as she clutched her glass. She had yearned for this moment in her past life. She thought about the times when she wanted to give up learning things that

    Misty seethed with envy at Matthew's sudden change in behavior. As a traditionally patriarchal man, he had never lifted a finger to help with household chores, let alone picking up a fallen item from the floor. But now, he was serving Hannah soup and even reminding her to eat. What had Hannah done to deserve the special treatment?Gripped by jealousy, Misty realized the importance of status and power for the first time in her life. Family and relationships were fickle. Only by reaching the pinnacle of status and influence, she could make others defer to her.One day, she vowed to make Hannah defer to her.A heavy silence fell upon the dinner table, making Hannah feel somewhat uneasy.Matthew maintained an inscrutable expression as he solemnly ate his dinner. It appeared as though he had invited Hannah over for a simple meal, but how could that be?She placed her utensils on the table and said, "I'm done." After a brief pause, she continued, "What's the matter today? Get straig

    When Nigel entered, Misty stared at him in disbelief and blurted out, "Mr. Moore!"Nigel was dressed immaculately, as though he was on a date. He merely cast a mindless glance upon hearing Misty's voice without any response. Then, he navigated his way to the room where Hannah was in."H-He …" Misty scrambled to form a sentence as she pointed a trembling finger at him.Matthew chuckled and poured himself a glass of red wine. He scrunched up his eyes, seemingly in a good mood. "She should be grateful that I got her Nigel. After tonight, we'll have the full backing of the Winchesters."The future he imagined was so perfect that he burst out laughing after having a taste of the benefits before.He had installed multiple spycams in Hannah's room, which would record everything that happened inside. With the footage in hand, he'd blackmail Hannah, and if she knew better, she would listen to his orders.Mrs. Winchester would become his pawn, giving him access to everything owned by the W

    Darren didn't let her off easily in the end.  Darren, being in his prime years, had maintained his purity and had never been involved with other women.   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. Thus, their meeting was scheduled three days later.Hannah and Darren didn't stay much longer. After arranging for Jennifer to move to a single room, they left.Before they took

    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.

    Hannah didn't expect him to also have felt a sense of familiarity.Upon hearing that, she felt her heart skip a beat, feeling like the truth was gradually coming to the surface.She actually looked a lot like Eleanor.If the middle-aged man was really her uncle, even if he had been lost since childhood, wouldn't he still have memories of his biological sister's appearance?"May I ask if you are a native of Hopeldon? Were you born here?"She pursed her lips, staring at him before asking in rapid succession, "Who else is in your family? Are your parents still alive?"She asked many questions in one breath, sounding urgent and nervous.For someone she had only met for the second time, asking such questions seemed overly intrusive and might make people uncomfortable.But she couldn't care less now.Finding her uncle had been her grandmother's wish for many years.As she grew older, Hannah didn't want her to have any regrets in this life.The middle-aged man was also a little sur
