Ramona didn't show a single trace of hesitation. Furrowing her brows, Hannah called out to her, "Don't be too hard on yourself. There will always be a solution to everything. Is it really worth it to give up your life over a misunderstanding?""Ms. Emerson … I know you."Ramona's eyes flickered as she shook her head. "I know you're a kind person. But I won't change my mind. I have my concerns."She hung her head down again and stared into space. Hannah clenched her fists and halted her steps when she saw the state Ramona was in. She was aware that she was determined to take her own life. Hannah felt helpless for not being able to save her. When Darren saw Hannah's eyes dimming, he held her hand as he whispered, "Don't be hasty."They shouldn't be rushing things. Since Ramona was going to wait for Misty, they would wait for her to come as well. Things might take a different turn. Hannah also knew she should be patient. Thus, she could only wait. Her emotions had finall
Misty stared at her in disbelief. Heartbroken, she continued, "Look at you, you're still wearing the necklace I gifted to you back then …"Ramona froze. Instinctively, her hand flew to her necklace. She was determined to end her life when she got here. She had no will to live. Since she took this day as her last in this world, she wanted to make sure she looked presentable. She put on a new dress and matching jewelry with some light makeup on. All she wanted was to end her life in an elegant and presentable way. However, since she was in a daze, she failed to realize the necklace was from Misty. She only gave it to her to mock her. Misty shot an endorsement for the brand of the necklace. After the shoot, she tossed the necklace to Ramona, who had just gone to Henry and demanded a change in the script as she pleased. She meant to reward her.She was smiling at Ramona when she did so, "Well done. Here, the necklace is for you!"As she clapped her hands, she continued with a
Hannah immediately felt like something was off. "Careful!"Her gaze was cold when she called out to Ramona instinctively. In an instant, she rushed forward in haste. Still, Hannah's attention was entirely on Misty earlier on. There was a considerable distance between her and Zane, making it impossible for her to stop him. "Don't come over! Get lost!"Ramona had lost all her sanity. Her voice was hoarse as her limbs swayed to and fro frantically."Don't come near me!"Of course, Zane wouldn't listen. He charged toward Ramona at an even faster pace. If she was startled and happened to jump off on her own, that would be even better. After all, he couldn't really do anything if he came here to rescue her, who was so determined to end her life.As long as Ramona died, he would be rewarded a fortune that he could never earn in a lifetime. With a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, he completely ignored Ramona, who had tears streaming down her face. His pace quickened.He was ge
Damn it!Hannah and Darren ruined Misty's plan again!If they hadn't meddled in her plan, Ramona would have already fallen off the building by now.They really deserved to die!In the midst of her anger, there was also a hint of fear that emerged in her heart.What if Ramona changed her mind and decided to expose everything that she had done?Her reputation would be completely ruined, and she would no longer be able to stay in the entertainment industry.Who would marry her? Would Cedric still like her? Would Robert still be willing to marry her?At that time, Matthew would definitely not let her off!Did Ramona have any evidence?No, she definitely didn't have it.That stupid woman wouldn't have thought to keep the evidence."Mona, that's great! I will help you. So, you'll definitely be able to live well."In an instant, Misty revealed a joyful smile, as if she was empathizing with Ramona. "I can't intervene in the contract between you and the company, but I'll help you.
No matter how Zane struggled to defend himself, no one seemed to care anymore.Just as Darren had said, the law would give him the appropriate punishment.Watching Zane get taken away, Ramona was feeling complicated. Her lips were trembling.It was true. Zane had tried to kill her. It was obvious that he didn't care about her live broadcast and was wishing for her immediate death."Are you still hesitating?" Hannah did not retract her hand. She was patiently watching her."No one cares about your life. Do you not care as well?"Ramona's gaze became heavy. Misty's face turned pale. She didn't expect Zane to be so simple that he would be easily seen through by Darren.They were all useless! They couldn't even handle such a small matter properly!Would Zane expose her? Would she be implicated?Misty's anxiousness was interrupted by Hannah's phone that suddenly rang. It also prevented Ramona from making a decision.Hannah's eyebrows furrowed as she answered the call. It was M
Observing Misty's performance with a cold gaze, Hannah couldn't help but laugh.Her laughter carried a hint of mockery, as if finding the whole thing amusing.She coldly scrutinized Misty, "Would it be worthwhile for me to accuse an illegitimate daughter born by a mistress? Do you think you're worth the trouble?"Her voice was light yet icy, but it was like a bomb that suddenly exploded in everyone's ears.Misty was stunned for a moment. Did Hannah just say that? Did she really just say it like that?The media had investigated their relationship before.Both had the same last name but conflicting fan bases.Hannah had never spoken out.Misty thought that Hannah kept quiet because she didn't want to mention her relationship with the Emersons.After all, even though Hannah was Matthew's eldest daughter, she was raised in the slums by her grandmother. The one who wasn't loved by the parents was always the most pathetic.But now, Hannah actually said it out loud.At that moment,
Hannah found it both unbelievable and amusing. Unable to resist a sneer, she asked, "Do you think everyone else is so blind and deaf that they can't see through your dirty deeds?"Her attitude was cold, and her voice was icy. However, there was a hint of sadness welling up in her eyes.During her childhood years, she often wondered why her father behaved like that.Other people's parents deeply loved their children. But her father didn't even care if she lived or died. She had thought that he was just a cold, selfish, and heartless person.However, reality proved that he wasn't incapable of being a father and that he wasn't unable to love his children. He simply didn't love her.Hannah felt a chill in her heart. It was so cold that even the scorching summer heat wouldn't be able to bring her much warmth."Mr. Emerson."Just then, a large warm hand covered hers and she felt the presence of a tall man beside her.He exuded a faint scent of pine that was unique to his cold and
Misty had wanted to sling mud at Hannah since she had tarnished her reputation.However, she didn't dare to take the risk. She knew that Hannah was always someone who spoke and acted decisively.What frightened her more was the thought of being seen by others with swollen cheeks after a possible confrontation."Since you're not willing to talk, then I won't say anymore."She nervously clutched her bag and glanced at Hannah with a pale face. She was looking like a timid little rabbit.In terms of portraying a character, Misty indeed had exceptional acting skills.The comments section was already filled with people finding her cute, kind, and vulnerable. Some had even started to feel sorry for her."I'm sorry, we're supposed to deal with Mona's affairs today, but it turned into a display of our conflicts."A bit helpless, she pursed her lips and smiled faintly at Ramona, "Mona, you won't blame me, right?"Ramona tightened her lips and remained silent. The revelation that Misty w
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. Even if the outcome disappoints me, it's fine. But old people
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
