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
"Hannah, you're always like this."Filled with hatred, Misty clenched her fists and her face showed a hint of helplessness.She shook her head and appeared affectionate, as if she was indulging in Hannah, "Don't say hurtful words whenever you're angry. Dad wouldn't have become so distant from you if you didn't do this all the time."It looked as if the sisters were in a minor disagreement.Hannah's gaze turned slightly cold.Before she could speak, Ramona wiped away her tears forcefully and laughed suddenly, "Misty, do you think I really have no evidence?"Misty's expression changed.Impossible. Could it be that she really had evidence?How could it be?Ramona was an honest person and easily bullied.How would she dare to keep evidence?She couldn't possibly have any!Even though she reassured herself in her mind repeatedly, her expression still seemed somewhat strained.She forced a smile, "Mona, what are you talking about? If you have evidence, that would be great …""I
For Ramona, Misty Emerson was a star, a wealthy and beautiful woman, and a superior human being.Misty was someone she couldn't afford to offend and had to serve carefully.Now, seeing her like that, Ramona didn't feel much satisfaction in her heart.She bit her lip and smiled self-deprecatingly. "I'm not as ruthless as you. I didn't want to bring these recordings out, but you've been forcing my hand. I'll pay the penalty for the breach of contract with the help of Ms. Emerson."Misty Emerson, we're even now."She turned around, nodded to Hannah again, and gratefully said, "Thank you, Ms. Emerson. I'll slowly repay the money I borrowed from the foundation! Thank you so much."Ramona knew that she was a weak person. In the face of adversity, she would only choose death to end everything.It was Hannah who gave her another way out and the courage to live at the critical moment. It was then that she realized how wrong suicide was.She shouldn't have brought pain to her family and
As a dark horse in the summer box office, "The Search" had seen a continuous rise in the box office revenue as they added more screenings. Hannah generously awarded the crew with a bonus.As the two major investors in the movie, Hannah and Kesha had earned a considerable amount.It was as if they had hit the jackpot.Kesha was extremely excited and arranged to meet Hannah in a coffee shop.She immediately pulled out an elegant gift box and said, "Ms. Emerson, this is my token of appreciation."Hannah was somewhat surprised and proceeded to open the box.There was a set of limited-edition jewelry in the box."This is too valuable. I can't accept it," she exclaimed."This is a gift to thank you for helping me earn money," Kesha said with a triumphant smile. Since her divorce, Kesha's taste in fashion had become more refined. She had learned to wear clothes that flattered her curvy figure and sported a hairstyle that gave her a fresh look.Now, she carried the air of a classy
Looking at Matthew's self-righteous attitude, Hannah almost burst into laughter.She looked at him with a hint of playfulness and coldly asked, "Why should I go home with you? So that you can come up with another scheme to harm me?"In her previous lifetime and the current one, she had only been to the Emerson manor once.It had been a dinner that had almost led to trouble.How could Matthew have the audacity to ask her to go again?"How dare you? I'm your father! How can I harm you?"Matthew's face turned pale. He angrily said, "You're an ungrateful daughter. Don't think that just because you've married into the Winchester you can cut ties with me. My blood runs in your veins. If you dare to cut ties with me, people will point fingers at you wherever you go."That was the reality of the world.Even if Matthew had been absent from her life and never fulfilled his duties as a father, the connection between them made it impossible to cut ties completely.If Hannah really ignored
"What are you doing?" Matthew's face turned ugly the moment he entered the house. He said sternly, "What kind of nonsense is this? You're already grown up but still act like a country bumpkin. Where are your manners? Is this how I raised you? You know nothing!"Hannah raised her lips into a small smile.She was sarcastically thinking that Matthew was scolding her indirectly.Since he didn't do it straightforwardly, she pretended not to understand and stood aside with her arms crossed. She was enjoying the spectacle."Dad!" Mateo rushed over like a small cannonball with tears streaming down his chubby face."Mom won't buy me a horse! All my classmates have one. I'll look stupid if I don't have one too! I want a horse too!" "Why do you want a horse? Can you ride it?"Matthew's face immediately darkened. "Stop causing trouble all the time. We're not some wealthy family. You'll ruin us even if we are rich."In the past, if Mateo made such a fuss, Matthew would have indulged him.
