"You have already accepted the trophies and certificates from Andrew and Nina. Shouldn't I present mine as well?" Darren stated, his eyes glancing discreetly at the still-empty display cabinet. He seemed somewhat aggrieved. Hannah couldn't help but find it amusing. "Mr. Winchester, why are you feeling jealous about this?"Her younger siblings' achievements were a form of acknowledgment and gratitude towards her; displaying them was her way of encouraging them. Could Darren's situation be compared?"As husband and wife, we share all our achievements. I'm giving all of these to you, including myself and my future," he declared, holding her hand and looking at her sincerely. His commitment was palpable, and Hannah couldn't help but be moved. After a moment of silence, she chuckled, "Mr. Winchester, you are …"It was a blend of childish jealousy and genuine solemnity, making her feel how much he cherished her."Well, later on, I'll place Mr. Winchester's items in the display cabi
"Is that so?" Hannah lowered her eyes, frowning slightly. She spoke softly, "Perhaps that's the case.""My makeup today is good. I'll use this look more in the future!" Diana responded.Seeing that Hannah didn't press for more information, Diana breathed a sigh of relief. She chuckled and quickly changed the subject. "Are you saying your friend wants to sign with a company? Do you have the details?""This isn't urgent. Taylor's young and hasn't made up her mind. She's considering entering the entertainment industry. I just mentioned it casually. "We can discuss it after she finishes the college entrance exams," Hannah said while smiling calmly.Initially, she had plans to recommend Taylor sign with Diana's company, but now she was hesitant. Signing with a company was crucial for an artist, and she wanted Taylor to avoid getting into trouble.Both of them met to discuss this matter, and now that Hannah expressed a sense of hesitation, Diana, surprisingly, didn't seem to min
Jake didn't understand the upper-class manners but felt Hannah and Diana were eye-pleasing.They looked so good that it made him feel inferior as if he was not up to their standard.It also made him want to bring them down and make them fall so they could no longer hold their head high.Because of this, he couldn't believe Hannah, who looked calm, would start swearing."I'm calling you scum, can't you understand?" Hannah patiently repeated.She sneered, "It seems even a deaf person can't make it in this world of lowlifes. It seems like the standards aren't that high these days."Her tone remained calm. Her elegant and charming demeanor made it look like she was conversing politely with someone. But her words were piercing and hurtful. "You foul bitch!" Jake grew furious and shouted, "You're looking for trouble!""Hannah, is it good to provoke them like this?" Diana's face turned pale. She anxiously lowered her voice, "These people don't listen to reason."What was happeni
It was the Eternal Heart.These thugs might not recognize it, but Hannah did.It was the apology gift that Cedric presented to Diana in front of the entire coffee shop last time.Diana, as the wealthy Sorsby family's heiress, had seen all kinds of valuable items in her life.Of course, she wasn't moved by the value of this necklace. What made her cherish and wear it wasn't the necklace but the person who gave it to her.Hannah's eyes flashed with understanding. She released her foot from Jake. She also wanted to see what Diana was up to now."Isn't it just a broken necklace?" Jake, who had lost two teeth, glanced at the necklace and sneered, "What? Do you want to flaunt your wealth at us? "Don't worry. You'll have plenty of opportunities to flaunt your wealth when you're in bed!"Any words about being to bed made Diana's eyes filled with disgust. Suppressing the feeling of disgust, she forced a smile. She negotiated, full of experience. "Yes, it's a necklace, but it'
Diana's face turned pale instantly. Her mind went blank. What could they do? What could be done now? She couldn't help but look at Hannah, who remained calm and collected, with a sense of despair creeping in.Even though they were both in the same dangerous situation, why wasn't Hannah afraid?Instead of showing fear, she elegantly pulled a handkerchief from her bag and meticulously wrapped it around her hand as if she were doing some essential skincare routine.Unable to contain herself, Diana softly called out, "Ms. Emerson?""Ms. Sorsby, such a thin stick won't hurt anyone," Hannah said, glancing meaningfully at the slender wooden stick in her hand.She chuckled lightly, her voice suddenly cold, "A fist is the most suitable weapon."As the words fell, she clenched the hand wrapped in the handkerchief into a fist and delivered a beautifully executed uppercut to the nearest thug's jaw. The thug let out a painful yelp, blood flowing instantly.Diana remained in a state o
Their friendship had only recently gotten better, yet Hannah chose to protect her first in this crisis. Diana felt a mix of tenderness and gratitude. She grabbed a small wooden stick she had forgotten to discard on her way, determinedly saying, "Ms. Emerson, I'll help you too!"Hannah was a bit surprised. She glanced at her. "Be careful. If someone comes, hit them directly on the head."Nodding vigorously, Diana looked at her and earnestly said, "Don't worry. I'll make sure to guard your back."With a slight smile, Hannah didn't say much. The situation was urgent as Jake and his group were catching up. With a fierce look, Hannah didn't waste time on words. She took advantage of their surroundings, swiftly dealing with each one, aiming to hinder them as quickly as possible.As the thugs couldn't advance, Jake's face soured.He licked his lips in frustration, thinking about his missing tooth. He shouted angrily, "Are you all brainless? You let women block the way! Think of
Cedric's expression shifted. He gritted his teeth and yelled, "Never! That's my girlfriend. You can't harm her!"Jake sneered, "Damn! So you want to do things the hard way! Catch this pretty boy! I'll fuck his girlfriend right in front of him!"As the male lead in the story, Cedric was not a powerless, pretty boy. He made the first move, kicking one of the thugs to the ground with his legs. He grabbed a steel pipe and charged toward the others.With his support, Hannah felt less pressured.Not standing idle, Diana cried while helping with the weapons she found. Though it lacked finesse, it succeeded in deterring several thugs.The remaining thugs, realizing the odds were against them, dropped their weapons and bolted.Furious, Jake's face contorted with anger. "Damn it! Come back, you bunch of useless dickheads! All of you can't even handle three people! Get back here!""Hannah!" Seeing that she was finally safe, Diana couldn't hold back her tears. She rushed to Hannah's sid
Suspicion grew in Hannah's heart, especially as she observed Diana's visibly moved expression.She couldn't help but hesitate a little. But without evidence, she couldn't say much.Hannah approached the groaning thug on the ground.This one hadn't fled, probably because when she kicked him, she twisted his ankle.Seeing this ominous figure approaching, he widened his eyes in terror. Tears were about to fall as he pleaded, "I was wrong! I was just following orders. I won't do it again. Please spare me!"Who could have survived this?Who would've thought someone from an affluent family could be so adept at fighting?He once believed that dealing with multiple opponents was merely a tale from books. Now, he realized that there are always better individuals out there.He knew he was wrong."You know you were wrong. So what? Following your so-called boss, did you do anything good?" Hannah sneered as she looked down at him with a mocking smile."I-I …" The small-time thug couldn'
