Hannah wouldn't blame a naïve young woman for everything bad that had happened in her life.Morgan's eyes reddened immediately as she stared at Hannah. She spoke up, albeit awkwardly, "Don't you blame me?""Why should I blame you?" Hannah replied. "You're Karen's younger sister. You aren't her parents, not to mention you never manipulated her into doing all these things in the first place. Our afternoon class is starting soon. Don't think too much.""Thank you."Morgan lowered her gaze after shooting Hannah a meaningful look. Then, she strode back to her seat with quick steps.Ms. Rochester soon entered the classroom. A second later, the school bell rang, signifying the start of the first lesson of the afternoon.The students who stood around Hannah's desk quickly returned to their own seats. Yennie stood a textbook upright on her desk in order to hide her face.She whispered, "Hey, Hannah. Does this mean you and Morgan have officially gotten past your rivalry and are now friend
"I may be inferior to you when it comes to business, but I know my father very well."What was Blaine's best skill as a hedonistic playboy?He wasn't the best at drinking, flirting around, and wasting money. And no, he certainly wasn't the best at engaging in thrilling activities.Blaine excelled at detecting the shift in Jeffrey's emotions just so he could figure out what the latter was thinking.After all, he needed tons of money just to go street racing and sleep around with every woman he met.If Blaine wanted to have a lot of money at his disposal without having to put in actual effort, the best thing to do was to learn how to please Jeffrey at all times.Honestly speaking, what Blaine said made sense.Cedric's expression visibly lit up at that. "Dad, stop beating around the bush already! What's the solution? Just tell me!"He had had enough of working under Sheila's leadership. She kept targeting him because of the teeny tiny details. Heck, she didn't even bother showing
"How am I supposed to shoot this scene? I refuse to go with this arrangement!" Misty glared at the pool in front of her furiously. "Where's my stand-in? Tell her to get her ass over here and shoot the scene! How dare you make me go into the water on such a chilly day! Are you trying to give me hypothermia? "Also, I want the crew to delete the footage of me slipping and falling into a muddy puddle! I must've looked so ugly when I was shooting that scene!"I have an angel-like persona, you know! Do you know any angels who present themselves as filthy and wretched beings on the screen? That scene will definitely damage my flawless appearance! I refuse to let it air!"The memory of the script's plot pissed Misty off to no end."I can't do that, Misty …" her poor assistant, Ramona Twinner, said meekly. "This drama is adapted from a novel. The original novel is extremely popular and well-received online."Besides, the puddle scene is extremely vital to the plot. The readers will defini
Ramona knew very well that she had done all of her tasks as Misty's dutiful assistant. Never had she shirked her responsibilities before.She was worried that Misty might fall sick or feel unwell during the shoot, so she treated her with utmost care. That was the five-star treatment Misty deserved anyway for paying Ramona a lucrative salary.But how could Misty say such terrible things to Ramona?How could a woman look so beautiful on the outside yet have a rotten, blackened heart?"Why are you crying? Don't cry! Fine, I'll listen to you just this once, alright?"However, Misty's expression morphed into one of helplessness and distress. At the same time, she made sure to say those words out loud.She reached out to wipe Ramona's tears away while summoning every ounce of her acting talent. "I was just talking to you about it, wasn't I? Why did you cry all of a sudden?"That's enough, Ramona. I'll take your advice, alright? I'll inform Mr. Yates right away.""What's going on this
As usual, Timothy entered the restaurant with a bouquet of azure hyacinths at 5:00 pm."You're here, Mr. Moore," the waiter said smilingly, clearly used to his presence by now. "We've reserved your usual table for you. Would you like to order the same things again?"Timothy nodded in response.The waiter led him to his table, seemingly used to the latter's penchant for silence. After that, he poured Timothy a glass of water.Timothy's table was one of the many regular tables in the restaurant. It wasn't located near a window, but its current position gave Timothy a good view of the three-legged white piano as well as the pianist.The piano was maintained really well. It still looked as luxurious as ever despite having spent decades in the restaurant. In fact, its luxurious appearance didn't match the restaurant's overall vibe.A few moments after the dishes were served, a slender figure seated herself in front of the piano. She was wearing an ash-gray dress that fit her snugly, m
"What exactly do you want?"Timothy's expression grew icy instantly. He looked quite fearsome at that moment. "Just say what you want to say, Mrs. Winchester. No need to beat around the bush.""Calm down, Mr. Moore." Hannah just smiled while waving airily. "I'm here to talk business with you as a potential business partner. I don't want to become your enemy.""Talk business? With a small-time departmental manager like me?"Timothy couldn't help but chuckle sarcastically. "Have you gone mad, Mrs. Winchester? I'm not the one in charge of Moore Group right now. I'm just a nobody with a useless position. Why not seek my nephew out instead of me?"He laughed coldly before continuing to jab at Hannah. "After all, you're equipped with advanced seduction skills. My nephew is more than willing to work with you, you know. Besides, Gregory will be elated once he finds out that a titan like Winchester Group can help boost Moore Group's profits and fame.""Mr. Moore, I specifically came here
Timothy was surprised, to say the least.He glanced at the waitress before smiling at her. "I don't know, but I hope I can come here on time."A momentary pause later, he fished out a business card and passed it to the waitress, "If I couldn't get here on time, could you give that woman a bouquet of flowers? The bouquet should have 143 azure hyacinths."The waitress perked up instantly.143 hyacinths … It was a code for "I love you".That meant Timothy had always been in love with the pianist, right?The hidden message of azure hyacinths was "I hope the one I love will be happy". Timothy must have wanted the pianist to always be happy, right?But … if he truly loved her that much and constantly looked forward to the day they met … and that he would present her with his obscure blessings …Why couldn't he grant the pianist true happiness, then?"Of course!" The waitress accepted the business card, but she soon chewed on her bottom lip hesitantly. "Mr. Moore, why don't you want
Naomi, who thought that it was a hassle to bring clothes and skincare products that were too heavy for her to handle, decided to load her suitcase with books in the end.When she tried to pick her suitcase up, she was unable to do so. She had to ask the driver to grab her luggage for her in the end.That Sunday, Taylor visited Hannah at Winchester Residence early in the morning.Taylor had been with the production crew for a long time. She could only use what little free time she had just to study.She had to balance her work and studies, so she had been leading an extremely busy life so far.Dennis had devoted so much blood, sweat, and tears to "The Search". During this period, the cast and crew had traveled everywhere in the country. Thanks to that, Taylor's skin was a healthy sheen of tan. She grinned at Hannah the moment she noticed her.Tanned girls were always popular among teenage boys anyway, much less beautiful girls like Taylor.But Hannah couldn't help but notice bl
