Now that Ramona finally got to leave the production crew, she felt that she could finally see the light of tomorrow. While she was immensely relieved, she couldn't help but burst into tears.Ramona was a naïve and gullible young woman. She had no idea that not every antagonist would blatantly display their vile side in this world.Naturally, she didn't know that the one she was currently thanking would force her into a situation so desperate that no one could save her."That's enough. Stop crying already." Jessica frowned impatiently at the sight of the crying Ramona.She continued impassively, "That's just how Misty is. She's not mean at all. Don't take her behavior to heart."You've worked hard during this period, so you're now entitled to a paid vacation. You should take this time to relax."Ramona didn't expect the company to have given her such nice compensation. She nodded heavily in response. "Thank you, Jessica."She was so grateful that she didn't know what to do to rep
"Did you hit your head?" The man chuckled disdainfully. "I never expected that a manager as wise and capable as you would do something that dumb.""What do you mean by that?" Jessica perked up immediately as she turned to look at him."A man can do anything for a woman as long as he likes her. Similarly, he can abandon her in a heartbeat once those feelings have receded."The man smiled as he tightened his grip on Jessica's hand for a moment. He continued smugly, "I received intel from a trustworthy source that Cedric Garner is about to get into a business arrangement with Diana Sorsby from the Sorsby family."Ms. Sorsby is no ordinary woman, you know. That diva you're managing is nothing before her."Was Misty nothing before Diana?Of course, she was worth nothing before the Sorsby family, which was one of the symbols of ultimate wealth.Jessica frowned at first, but soon her brows relaxed. A smile bloomed on her face as well. "Excellent! I'm sick and tired of Misty's diva-like
"I …" Darren opened his mouth, finally realizing how hoarse his voice was.His hand hovered inches above Hannah's waist. He wanted to touch her, but at the same time, he dared not do that."I know you didn't do it on purpose."Hannah decided to take the initiative this time by tightening her arms around Darren's waist. She rested her cheek on his chest while nuzzling against him affectionately. "Honestly speaking, it doesn't hurt that much."It seemed that Hannah had absolute control over Darren's emotions.Darren let out a silent sigh before resting his chin on Hannah's head once again. He could smell a light waft of lemon-scented shampoo coming from her hair, prompting him to breathe it in.A hint of aggrievedness tinged his tone as he explained, "The Moores only invited you to the banquet."They didn't extend the invitation to Darren.What did this mean, one might ask?If the Moores intended to affiliate themselves with Winchester Group, they'd have to invite Darren, who wa
"Nigel keeps reminiscing about his old friendship with you, Mrs. Winchester. He was worried that you wouldn't show up today."Catherine continued smiling sweetly as she addressed Hannah in an overly familiar fashion. "Oh, Mrs. Winchester! Nigel and I are so happy to see you here!"She kept hinting that she was Nigel's actual fiancée the whole time.Nigel's expression darkened immediately. He yanked his arm away before stepping away from Catherine. In an awkward tone, he said, "Stop it, Cath."A flash of embarrassment streaked across his eyes at that moment.Hannah was amused by the engaged couple's interactions. Catherine kept boasting about how amazing her beloved fiancé was. At the same time, she kept thinking that all the women out there were vying for Nigel.Meanwhile, Nigel put on a big show of wanting to stay away from Catherine, but he just didn't have the heart to commit to that action.What a hypocrite."It's only natural for Mr. Winchester and me to attend your engage
What Regina said made sense. Gregory rubbed his fingers together while nodding in agreement. Nigel was better off marrying Catherine rather than an uncouth woman like Hannah.Catherine was the only child in her family, after all. She'd inherit everything in the Langley family in the future.Once she got married to Nigel, the Langley family would be integrated into the Moore family. Naturally, this signified that Moore Group would undergo another wave of expansion.That thought made Gregory smile giddily. "Right now, all I wish is for Nigel to drop everything else in life and focus on making Moore Group great again."Meanwhile, Darren still retained his thunderous expression even though he and Hannah had already left the others' line of sight. He kept flaring his oppressive and icy bearing the whole time."That's enough, Mr. Winchester. Why don't you calm down?"The amused Hannah gave Darren a light shove. "I never acknowledged him properly the whole time, didn't I?""He must b
Hannah thought it was funny sometimes.She wasn't sure what had gotten into Nigel. He seemed to be extremely touched by her presence and was sending her messages to express his affections periodically.Hannah blocked his number. Her phone constantly notified her that countless messages were being blocked.It was getting on her nerves."I will never trust your nonsense. It doesn't matter how you seduced my brother in the past. It won't work. My brother is getting engaged to Catherine."Lila turned a deaf ear and continued, "Let me warn you: if you make any inappropriate moves, I will get someone to show you the door. A despicable person will always stay despicable. You will never succeed even if you crawl into the circle of the rich.""And who do you want to show the door to?"A cold glint flicked in Darren's eyes. The tension was palpable. "You're very bold, Ms. Moore."Lila's face was drained of color as she faced the oppressive vibe coming from him. She shuddered in fear."D
Gregory was stunned."I don't think it would be appropriate, Mr. Winchester." Regina's face froze as she struggled to say, "Lila is a blunt young lady …""And she can say whatever nonsense because she's blunt?"Malcolm brought some snacks. With his mouth full, he pointed and said, "I'm blunt too. Can I continue to say that she is old and ugly then?"Gregory held his anger in. "I-I didn't mean it this way.""Lila, hurry up and apologize to Mrs. Winchester." He tried his best to maintain his composure as he shoved his daughter. He said softly, "Hurry up.""Dad, why should I apologize to her?"Lila looked at her father in disbelief. She said, "What I said was the truth. I'm not apologizing."Feeling wronged, tears started welling up in her eyes. She batted his hand away. "I'm your daughter. Why are you siding with these people? Don't tell me you were seduced by her too.""Lila, what nonsense is this?"Regina quickly explained, "Your father is doing this for your good. Please lis
"Mr. Winchester, you've gone too far."Gregory felt for his daughter. Yet, he couldn't bear the humiliation. He lost his cool and said angrily, "This place belongs to the Moores. Don't you think you should respect the Moores and Langleys while you're here?""Respect? I don't think you deserve any."Darren was arrogant as he smirked. "I can stop your engagement party if I want to."The hotel manager heard the commotion and came over quickly. His head throbbed as he witnessed the mess. He said cautiously with an apologetic smile on his face. "What's the matter? Let's all take a minute to calm down first." "Mr. Winchester!'His face instantly changed when he noticed Darren. He went up to him enthusiastically, "Why didn't you inform us that you were visiting us? Who on earth was dense enough to offend you, Mr. Winchester?""When did the Golden Palace start serving people of such low standards?" With a stern face, Darren scoffed, "Stop this engagement party now!""Mr. Winchester,
