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.

    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'

What was there in that insignificant past that she can't couldn't let go of?Her gaze and tone held unwavering certainty, causing Hannah to feel slightly irritated.She didn't meddle in others' affairs, but Cedric was like a deep abyss. Once Diana stepped in, it could be an irreparable situation.Despite her privileged background, outstanding education, and beautiful looks, why would she ruin her own future over a stupid romance?"Have you forgotten what you said?" Hannah's tone grew slightly heavy, emphasizing, "Haven't you said it yourself? There are so many good men in this world, why bother with …""Ms. Emerson!" Diana's eyes showed surprise, followed by a touch of coldness. She pressed her lips together. Tears streamed down her face, yet she spoke with de

    Darren wanted to pull Hannah down and sink into the depths of his bloodthirst.Despite the repeated temptations of the beast within him, he was reluctant to harm her in the slightest. Yet those people dared to hurt her. Damn it! Damn it!Darren lowered his gaze. His entire being was shrouded in a chilling intent."The individuals responsible have already been taken into custody by the police. They will pay for their actions."Sensing his hostility, Hannah raised her hand to embrace him and said softly, "It didn't feel hurt before, but it's starting to ache a bit now. How about we go to the hospital and have a doctor check it?""Does it hurt? Let's go now," Darren's eyes instantly filled with concern as he scooped her up, treating her like a fragile doll. Even allowing her to walk seemed like a form of harm."Huh? Mr. Winchester, I didn't injure my foot!" Hannah exclaimed, both amused and exasperated. Darren remained silent, seemingly oblivious to her words. He swiftly carri

    Casting her a cold glance, seemingly oblivious to Misty's smug satisfaction, Hannah calmly stated, "It's just a minor injury.""Hannah, now that you're Mrs. Winchester, you represent the Winchester family's reputation." Misty softly advised her with her large eyes that seemed filled with concern. "You can't keep getting into fights like you used to. You're behaving like a kid—what's that all about? It would be embarrassing if word got out."I know you may not like hearing this, but as your sister, I still have to advise you," she continued, even though her words seemed irritating. With what appeared to be a compassionate expression, she whispered, "Hannah, you shouldn't take advantage of Mr. Winchester's favoritism to behave recklessly. Otherwise, it's not only embarrassing for him, but it also reflects poorly on you. Hannah, you should think more about Mr. Winchester.""There's no need to worry. I like my wife just the way she is. There's no embarrassment. In fact, I'm proud of

    Cedric still showed some lingering fear and said, "It's a good thing I happened to pass by. Otherwise, I can't imagine how you and Hannah would've handled that situation.""We were actually on our way to try that famous private kitchen. I never thought we'd run into that group. It was really terrifying. Thankfully, Ms. Emerson is skilled. That's how we held on until you arrived," Diana said as she frowned, a hint of stress in her expression.Recalling the events, she remembered that Hannah had stuck by her side and consistently shielded her. Diana couldn't help but regret her impulsive actions.At the ambulance, she was overly concerned about Cedric's injuries, losing control of her temper and saying things that might have crossed a line.She couldn't help feeling a bit remorseful. With her words, would Hannah even want to be friends with her anymore?"It's good that you're okay. You really scared me today," Cedric said, grabbing her hand with a relieved expression.Then, hesitat

    "Come on, silly, why didn't you mention you were hungry? Why are you so cute? You must be starving, huh?" Cedric's chest rumbled as he chuckled, playfully tapping her nose."I … um, wasn't really hungry …" Diana's heart swelled as she shook her head instinctively.But her stomach growled again.Cedric smiled as he said, "You should grab something to eat! How can you take care of me if you're starving? It'll break my heart.""But what about you?" Diana hesitated. If she went to eat, what about Cedric?"I'm not hungry. Besides, I can't eat right now. You go ahead. I'll be fine. There are nurses around!" Cedric replied as he grinned, tousling her hair. Hearing his words, she nodded as she was starving.After ensuring Cedric was taken care of, she left the room to get some food.The elevator lit up, and Misty stared at the indicator for a while before pushing open the door to the ward.Her face wore a worried expression, tears welling up in her eyes.

    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 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
