"Ced, you're here!"Not sensing anything unusual, Diana's eyes lit up, and she happily hugged Cedric's arm."Why are you so late? I've been waiting for you for a long time!""I was delayed by something when I was leaving,"Embracing her, Cedric's face darkened as he whispered, "Do you know Mrs. Winchester?""We just met. Kenneth admires her a lot!" Diana smiled and continued, "He always tells me to learn from Ms. Emerson.""You may not know this since you just returned, but some people are not what they seem to be despite their reputation." Cedric's eyes shifted slightly. He said coldly, "I think you are fine the way you are. There is no need to learn from anyone. Changing yourself for others is not worth it.""Hey, why are you talking like this?"Frowning, Malcolm couldn't help but feel dissatisfied, "Who are you talking so strangely about?""If I'm not mistaken, Ana is your elder sister." With a sneer, Cedric said with a hint of sarcasm, "Do you not like your own sister? How
He was being ostentatious and unreserved.As the male protagonist of the novel, Cedric Garner's first 20 or so years of his life had been smooth sailing. Being superior and almost good at anything fostered his arrogant and unrestrained personality.Hannah still remembered the first time she saw him. It seemed like the whole world was focused on him, and he was arrogantly domineering, like a king in control of everything.Although it seemed quite amusing, it was quite in line with the image of the male leads in romance novels. However, it was not the case currently. Cedric was gloomy."You bitch!"Cedric erupted in anger. "Don't think that just because you're married to Darren, I won't dare to touch you!""Even if I didn't marry Mr. Winchester, what can you do?"Scoffing, Hannah showed no fear as she stared at him. "What? Are you afraid of what I might tell Ms. Sorsby?"What if I gave Misty's phone number to Ms. Sorsby? What do you think will happen?"She smirked, eyes showing
Explain?Hannah felt a bit ridiculous, "We were just …""Ana, you have to believe me, the person I like is you. How could I possibly get involved with a married woman?"Cedric cut Hannah off intentionally.With malice in his eyes, he stepped forward and said anxiously, "Mrs. Winchester said she had something to talk to me about. When I came here, she kept coming at me …"He turned to look at Hannah with disgust and coldly said, "Now that Ana is here, I will once again say that the person I like is Ana. I don't have any thoughts about you, so I hope that you can show some self-respect.""Me? Self-respect?"With mockery in her eyes, Hannah let out a cold laugh and looked at Cedric condescendingly.She didn't say much, but Cedric could clearly sense what she meant.She was asking him to reflect on himself and see if he was worthy of her.How was he unworthy?"Mrs. Winchester, I know that you've always been coquettish. In this kind of situation, as the man, I can't really explai
"Go to hell!"Cedric roared, his eyes filled with rage as he fiercely rushed forward to smash the banquet chair on Hannah's head."No! Be careful!"Diana's face changed drastically.Hannah heard the commotion and turned around to take a look.She widened her eyes as she thought that if the attack landed on her, it would have injured her greatly.As she was about to dodge, a strong arm suddenly grabbed her waist, and she fell into a sturdy embrace.The familiar scent of pine filled her nose. Hannah's tense body relaxed as she looked up.Darren's eyes were cold and stern. He quickly stepped forward and blocked the attack with a single hand.Crack! Hannah wasn't sure if she was hallucinating, but she seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.Darren's expression remained unchanged but his eyes were filled with rage. He grabbed the banquet chair single-handedly and threw it away.A loud bang sounded as the chair landed on the ground and crashed onto other tables.Cedric wa
Diana pushed him away angrily while loudly saying, "What do you take me for?""Ana, don't leave me."Taking a step forward, Cedric embraced her tightly.Burying his face in her shoulder, he hid the resentment and disgust on his face. He said in a trembling voice, "I don't want to lose you. Please don't leave me, okay?""You …" Complex emotions surged in Diana's heart.If she didn't like this man, why did she repeatedly approach him even though he responded coldly each time?"I know I'm not a good boyfriend. I just don't know how to treat you …"Holding her hand against his chest, Cedric said affectionately, "But this heart beats for you. Ana, can you feel it? I can't live without you. Please don't say such things lightly, okay?"A man who once seemed god-like and aloof was now pleading with his eyes.It's hard for any woman to resist such tenderness, especially when it was from someone she liked.Diana's long lashes trembled and her heart felt chaotic. "I need some time to th
Gregory was furious. He overturned the table, and said angrily, "I know you're still holding a grudge from over a decade ago, but that's all in the past. Will you only be satisfied when you see the Moores in trouble?"In the past?Timothy sneered inwardly.No, it would never be in the past.Would his elder brother feel sad?Nigel's move was simply an unexpected surprise.The true despair had yet to come!He hoped that his elder brother would feel the bitterness for the rest of his life.That was the retribution he deserved!With a smirk and not hiding his gloating, Timothy stood up and said, "Since you find me a hindrance, I won't stay here to add more to your troubles."Anyway …"He glanced meaningfully at the stage before he chuckled and continued, "It seems that this engagement banquet is over.""Get lost!"Gregory was mad. He grabbed a bottle of wine and threw it at Timothy.Accompanied by a crisp shattering sound, the wine bottle fell near Timothy's feet. The wine sp
Her anger didn't faze Hannah at all. She was completely expressionless. Her locks fell gracefully on her back, highlighting her dazzling appearance. Her beauty was too much for one to take in. "Hannah," Darren called out to her. His heart sank, feeling a bit uneasy. Swallowing hard, he stood up and gazed at her. He wanted to say something, yet nothing came out of him.Only then did Hannah lift her gaze and glance at him. It was as if she could see through his dark and evil intentions. He clenched his fists tight as he remained silent. "The microphone." Hannah extended her hand. Her hands were like art. Her nails were beautifully manicured, and her skin was flawless.For some unknown reason, the emcee felt like picking up the microphone and giving it to her. It felt right to do so, as she naturally deserved to be served by others. However, someone did so before him. A tall figure bent down first. Darren picked up the microphone and cleaned it meticulously with a handkerchief. He
However, Hannah didn't stop. The microphone was in her hand as she glanced at the flashlights below calmly. She smiled faintly as she said, "I have a perfect relationship with Mr. Winchester. Hence, I don't want anyone else to disturb us. And I also hope there won't be any more baseless nonsense like this. I'm deeply troubled by it.""No, it shouldn't be like this …" Nigel howled."Hannah, stop this! You're just saying these things out of anger, right? I know I was wrong, please stop this! Can we start all over again, please?"His heart was throbbing in pain. It was like someone had torn his heart into shreds. How could she be so ruthless to him? "Nigel, did you not hear what she said? She literally doesn't give a damn about you!" Catherine cried as she threw herself on him. "She doesn't even love you, so why bother? What good do you see in her? Why can't you love me instead? I've loved you for so many years, yet you're throwing me under the bus over her? You've only known her
