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
"It must be so hard on Ms. Langley.""Ms. Emerson's relationship with Mr. Winchester has been going strong, why does he think he has to confess to her?""She deserved it! Mr. Winchester should've given her a few more blows!""I bet Hannah must've hinted to Nigel to do something. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone nuts like this. Hannah's really terrifying.""Do you think she has to do that given how pretty she already is? I would go berserk for her if she just stood still before me!"Meanwhile, the netizens were buzzing about the incident, and other news suddenly appeared on the trending search as well. "Misty's assistant is a poser.""Is there going to be good news from Mr. Garner and Ms. Sorsby?"These headlines were next to each other on the trending searches. However, it didn't cause much of a stir. Only some fans and curious netizens were attracted. Misty was on set. Her phone was held tightly in her grip as she stared at the photo of Cedric and Diana. She gritted her tee
Nina was usually shy and reserved. It was unusual for her to be so bright. She couldn't even bear to hide her wide smile. "What good news is it?" Hannah smiled and took her inside. "Look at you, you're so excited that you even forgot to wear your robe."Embarrassed, Nina curled her toes as her face became flushed. She whispered, "I was too eager to share this with you, so I forgot."After she put on her robe, she cupped her cheeks excitedly. Her eyes glistened with anticipation and exhilaration. "Hannah, my teacher said that I'm going to perform at the Grand Concert at Farance!"Farance was renowned for its romantic ambiance. Only the best performers could make it to the Grand Concert. Thus, it meant a lot for Winnie to let Nina debut at the Grand Concert. It was a token of compliment for her talent and efforts."That's amazing, Nina." Hannah was genuinely glad for her. She smiled. "You have to leave in advance for the preparation, right? When are you leaving?""Later this
Blinking her eyes in a daze, she instinctively swiped to answer the call. Her voice was still heavily tinged with fatigue as she spoke, "Hello?""Naomi, what are you doing?" A tipsy female voice could be heard from a distance from the other end of the phone. "Everyone's waiting for you! Come on now, let's drink."She could vaguely make out the deafening music in the background. Her eyes sprung wide open and glanced at the screen. It was Naomi. "Naomi?" she called out to her subconsciously. There was no reply at all. She suddenly had a bad feeling about this. She raised her voice and called out to her again, "Naomi, are you there? Can you hear me?""I'm—I'm just trying to get some fresh air. I'm coming," Naomi replied, yet she wasn't talking to Hannah. She sounded slightly nervous. She was giggling as she continued, "Come on, we have the whole night to drink!"The call ended. As the radio static resonated in Hannah's ears after the call was hung up, she was washed by a wave of
"Don't you recognize me?" Naomi was flabbergasted. She slammed the glass down on the table. "You know Sheila, yet you have no idea who I am."The upper crust in Hopeldon wasn't that big. Naomi, who was from one of the big three families in Hopeldon, was in no way inferior to Sheila. Yet, these people claimed to not know her. This was absurd. Naomi said coldly, "Which family are you from? Why have I not seen you before?" She became vigilant. Only now did she realize these were all unfamiliar faces. Feeling anxious, she swallowed hard as she discovered this fact. "Bitch, what are you blabbering about?" Another guy with puffy eyes sneered disdainfully when he heard Naomi. "Who do you think you are? Are we obliged to know you at all?" After having too much to drink, he rolled up his sleeves. A scar on his wrist was revealed. Naomi belatedly noticed that something was off about these people. They seemed particularly vicious. However, how did Sheila come to get to know them?
Who had this power to silence all those servers, to the point that they couldn't utter a word of Naomi's whereabouts? Was she alright?From the brief phone call, she seemed to be temporarily safe. However, Hannah couldn't help but feel paranoid about the multiple exclamation marks Naomi had sent in her messages. It seemed like these people were unwilling to speak the truth. She lowered her head and clenched her fists tightly. Once again, she stopped another server. "May I know which room Naomi Winchester is in?" Hannah's captivating features made her seem particularly distant and aloof when she was expressionless. It made her look intimidating. The server who was stopped by her stared at her blankly. After a while, she finally regained her senses and stammered, "I—I have no idea … I've never seen Ms. Naomi before."Erica was tall, but she seemed particularly frail. Her wrist which was currently in Hannah's grip was thin and fragile. It seemed like she hadn't been able to fill
