A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 223 I Want to Go
"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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 225 Perfection
"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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 226 Watch Your Manners
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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 227 Say Hi
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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 228 You're Asking for It
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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 229 Stop the Engagement Party
"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,
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 230 Do Me a Favor
"Gregory and Regina, please ask Lila to apologize to Mrs. Winchester later. Then, this whole thing will blow over. What do you think? Consider this a favor to me.""A favor to you?"Gregory couldn't help but mock him. He said, "What favor? You are a general manager at the Moore Group. What can you do for us?"He wasn't even the chairman of the Moore Group. What right did Timothy have to ask for a favor?"Gregory, I'm trying to help you."The smile on Timothy's face slowly faded away. He said calmly, "Even if you don't appreciate it, you don't need to be rude about it. I'm trying to advise you to know your place. Don't embarrass yourself further."Gregory scoffed and said rudely, "Do you think you're some big shot? I would love to ask your help not to further escalate this situation. Can you do that?""What if I could?"His face turned cold. Timothy was triggered. He allowed his anger to take over as he said, "How do you know I can't do it, Gregory?""If you can do it, I will t

A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 827 The Bad Guy
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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 824 Lost In Thought
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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 823 Look at Me
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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 822 Unwrapping the Gift
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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 821 So Ungrateful
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
A Second Chance at Romance Chapter 820 Do You Miss Me?
He was just a poor guy with nothing but debt to his name.He had tried to recover his past memories and find his roots.He had been searching for decades, and even after getting married and having a daughter, he continued searching while struggling for a living.He never expected that just when he was gradually forgetting about this matter, life would suddenly take a new turn.This seemed a bit too dramatic. 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. Even if the outcome disappoints me, it's fine. But old people

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
