"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
The moment Timothy saw Darren and Hannah come out from the Golden Palace, he couldn't help but grin. His grin was somewhat sinister. His gaze was murderous, mockery and hatred lurking in his eyes. He looked completely different from his old self at Shaferche. Back then, he was a meek, middle-aged gentleman. Hannah nodded slightly at him when she lifted her head. Their eyes met across the road. Both of them didn't say a word. Yet, they somewhat reached a common ground and soon after, they shifted their gazes away. Darren stood quietly by the side. Only then did he open the car door. Hannah lifted her gaze and shot a quick smile at him. After they both got in the car, they left swiftly. The scene only became more chaotic upon their departure. The journalists were desperate for a scoop of exclusive news from them. They couldn't care less and dashed toward Nigel, surrounding him in the middle. "Mr. Moore, you said you've been fond of Ms. Emerson for a long time. Have you known
Initially, Harold thought it would only be a matter of time before the Langleys and the Moores merged as one family. Hence, they had been working closely. Although on the surface they still seemed like two separate companies, they were closely connected. Causing a rift would be detrimental to both families. There were too many projects involved. How could they clear things up when almost everything was entangled?The expression on Harold's face changed slightly. Fiona covered her mouth as she couldn't help but sob bitterly. Harold worked painstakingly for his company. Not only was it important to him, their family depended on it greatly. However, Catherine was also equally precious to her. "Mom, stop crying. I genuinely like Nigel. I'm satisfied with marrying him." Catherine's tears came to a stop instead. She bit her lip as she stated firmly, "I believe Nigel was just momentarily confused by that bitch. Sooner or later, he will come back to his senses. I'm still young, and I st
Sensing Catherine nudging him, Nigel opened her eyes in a daze. He glanced at her. He was already drunk. The world seemed upside-down and blurry to him. His face was flushed as well. After some time trying to make up who was before him, he murmured, "Cat?""Nigel, you've had too much to drink," Catherine said gently, biting her lip. "I'll bring you home.""Home? I'm not going home!" Nigel yelled. Infuriated, he hollered, "I'm not going home! They'll only force me into marrying someone I don't even like! They don't even consider my feelings! I'm not going back!"Catherine knew he was talking about her. Her expression darkened. The bartender shot a curious look at them. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of strangers. Suppressing her emotions, she helped him up. "Alright. If you don't feel like going home, then don't. I'll take you to the hotel for some rest. Is that okay?"This time, Nigel remained silent. Being extremely drunk, he leaned against her to the point th
