Diana owned an entertainment company. A lot of rising stars were signed under her company. Lately, her company had been topping the trending searches from time to time.

It was always a hot topic whenever a new company entered the entertainment industry.

"Ced had invested in a series lately. He heard that I had started an entertainment company, so he let me take charge of the series instead.

"If the actors are performing well in the series, I plan to have them signed under my company."

A tinge of joy flashed across Diana's face as she smiled. She was delighted as this was a sign of trust and support from her boyfriend.

Smiling, she added, "He wasn't quite sure of how things worked, so I'm fully in charge of the project now. But I've come to realize that …"

Her tone hardened as she moved the document toward Hannah. Her gaze was fixated on her as she continued, "Ms. Emerson, are you dissatisfied with the series?"

Hannah was slightly stunned. This couldn't be it, right? Were things

    Cedric said Hannah had been eyeing him for quite some time. She longed to be his lover.Also, he pointed out Hannah had been scheming and ostracizing her sister, Misty, since childhood.It wasn't uncommon for couples in the upper crust to engage in open relationships. However, would Hannah be like that?Diana became flustered in an instant."Well, it seems like your only source of information is Cedric. May I ask," Hannah said coldly, smirking scornfully at Diana, "If you ever bothered to verify what he said, Ms. Sorsby?"Diana lowered her gaze, remaining silent."I already know what vile things he's going to say without having to ask." Sitting upright, Hannah scoffed and continued, "Ms. Sorsby, you're a sensible one. Are you really going to be blinded by love like this?""What do you mean?" Diana's expression hardened as she snapped, "Ms. Emerson, I'm here for business, and the last thing I want is to have you criticize my boyfriend.""I'm just trying to help," Hannah replied

    Diana could only respond mindlessly. She had no idea how she left the Winchester Residence. It was only a few years since she last met Darren. He used to be the intimidating one who yielded the most power in the Winchester family, and now he had become even more formidable.Watching the doors close, Hannah felt quite helpless."Why did you scare her?"She was impolite to you, and I only said that much. I've already saved her some face for Kenneth's sake."Darren lowered his gaze and said, "I won't let anyone bully you.""I wasn't bullied." Hannah couldn't help but feel amused. But at the same time, she was moved as well.It felt really good to have someone care for and cherish her. Her tone even sounded too gentle when she tried to stop him."I'm not an easy target. Darren, you're being paranoid.""For you, it's always better to be safe than sorry."Darren wrapped his arms around Hannah as he locked her in his embrace. His chin rubbed against the top of her head gently.Her

    A man, fully dressed in luxury clothing, stood at the center of the heart shape formed from the candles.He had shades on, so his features could only be vaguely seen. His hair was slicked to the back in an exaggerated manner.A large bouquet of roses rested in his hands, while an exquisite necklace lay in the bouquet. The diamond on the necklace pendant was gleaming under the sun."Damn, what a sight!" Avery couldn't help but find it amusing.Chuckling, he commented, "Isn't it ridiculous to have candles in broad daylight? He didn't put in any effort at all."It was obvious that this man had learned these cliché courtship acts from somewhere else, and decided to put it to practice. He didn't even bother to modify them.However, it wasn't long before Avery found himself unable to laugh at the situation.The man in shades suddenly whipped out a microphone and put it near his lips. He couldn't care less about causing a disturbance as he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Taylor, I lo

    Saige knew how to get his ladies. His romantic scandals had been circulating in gossip magazines for quite some time but he didn't shy away from it. Instead, he admitted that he was reckless. The highest level of deception is a mixture of truth and falsehood. He was invincible in terms of hooking up with ladies.Saige was feeling quite full of himself. Just as he was about to continue with his prepared lines, the weight of the bouquet in his hands vanished. Someone took it.It was like what he expected. A triumphant look flashed across his eyes, yet he showed a pleasantly surprised expression.Pleased, he said cheerfully, "Taylor, have you finally accepted me? I knew you had feelings for me. Rest assured, I'll definitely—"He couldn't finish his sentence. The bouquet, which was large enough to require both hands to hold, was hurled toward his face.As it zoomed closer to his face, he shrieked in fear, "Sto—Stop!""No one is going to accept you, for god's sake!" Hannah was furio

    "What can you do?" Hannah sneered, delivering a kick to his stomach.She hissed, "Get lost! And don't ever show up again!""You—Just you wait! I'll make you pay for this!" Saige was so outraged that even his fingers were trembling.He glared at her hatefully as he scrambled into his sports car. The car sped away in an instant.He didn't know who Hannah was, but that wasn't the case for the paparazzi. They were all too eager for a scoop, so the flashlights never ceased until now.Taylor took a quick glance around her and hurriedly dragged Hannah to the set."Hannah, let's talk inside."When they arrived at the set, Dennis was briefing the extras for the scene. He beamed once he saw Hannah."Ms. Emerson, you're here!" He couldn't contain his excitement.Hannah's expression still wasn't that pleasant. She nodded slightly and gestured behind her."I haven't come to visit a lot. I'll treat you guys to some milkshakes." The crew cheered in an instant.Dennis' crew was incredibly r

    Hearing this, Hannah was slightly surprised. "Do you really not have any feelings for him? You can be honest with me.""Hannah, what are you talking about?" Taylor shot her a look.Pouting her lips, she said, "I'm busy with my studies and work now. I don't have the time for a relationship. Besides, even if I were to date someone, it wouldn't be him …""Hannah, you don't have to worry." Avery couldn't help but chuckle.He commented bluntly, "Taylor's taste isn't that bad.""Yeah, I can clearly tell whether he's being sincere. I'm not an inexperienced girl."Taylor nodded seriously and added, "It's so obvious that he wasn't sincere in pursuing me. He might be putting on a big show, yet I know he's just trying to force me into accepting him."I won't be fazed by something like this, and I certainly won't pay him any attention."Hannah became more puzzled after seeing how sincere Taylor was.Since she knew what Saige was up to, why was she willing to be held captive by him in th

    Taylor cheered once she heard Hannah's approval.Rest was scarce at the set since time was money to them. After having the milkshakes, Dennis was already calling out to the crew with his amplifier to start preparing for filming."Hannah, you've never seen me act before, right?" Taylor smiled and said cheerfully, "I'm in the next scene. I'll show you what I've learned all this while!"Delighted, she strutted off confidently to fix her makeup. Avery, who had just decided to venture into the entertainment industry with her, also tagged along.Flynn had been checking his phone since they entered the set. He took out his phone and gestured to Hannah."I have to make a call."Was he that busy? Hannah shot a meaningful glance at him, yet she didn't ask any questions."Go ahead."They all had their own lives to live. As long as they didn't get themselves in trouble, she wouldn't meddle in their affairs.Soon, the crew started settling in.Taylor was really a talented actor. Her actin

    Hannah turned around and saw Flynn smirking at her. He had seen everything."I didn't expect this, either …"Feeling ridiculous, Hannah shrugged and continued, "It's a first for me to come across this situation. I don't have any experience.""Don't worry, you'll be loaded with experience in the future," Flynn replied as he chuckled.His gaze was fixated on Alan. After a while, he smirked again and said, "He's older than you, yet he acts like he's younger than you.""Damn, you're really good at this, aren't you?" Hannah teased, "You can tell his age from just a glance. I respect you for that.""Isn't it quite obvious?" Unbothered, Flynn continued, "He's so old, and yet he acts like a young boy. He won't do.""Are you implying that I can just go ahead if it was someone younger than me?" Hannah was amused.She pointed a finger at him and joked, "Flynn, I didn't realize that you preferred someone younger than you.""I don't mind their age; as long as they fancy me." He smiled in a

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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
