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.
"Dad, what are you doing?"Mateo let out a pig-like scream when he was suddenly hit by the feather duster. He was jumping around to avoid his father. "Why are you hitting me?""Matt, don't hit Mateo!" Claudia became anxious, and tears welled up in her eyes."If you're angry, you can take it out on me. Why are you hitting Mateo?""You've spoilt him rotten!" Matthew's anger surged as he pulled Claudia to the side.Grabbing Mateo's chubby arm, he smacked his buttocks fiercely. "He won't learn anything if I don't discipline him. Today, I must let him know how tough life can be."Claudia fell onto the sofa and cried heartbrokenly as she listened to her son's cries.Chaos ensued for a while."Dad, you've changed. You don't love me anymore!" Mateo couldn't understand why everything had changed suddenly.He used to be the most doted upon in the house. He would get everything that he asked for. Now, his father, who used to love him the most, was spanking him.Feeling desperate and sad
It sounded like Hannah was throwing a tantrum."Mr. Emerson, what do you mean by that?"With a raised eyebrow, Hannah calmly replied, "I get along well with my grandmother, Mr. Winchester, and his siblings. There's nothing wrong with that."How dare the Emersons call themselves her 'family'?In Hannah's eyes, her family had always been her grandmother.Now, her family included Darren and the Winchester siblings.But it never included anyone from the Emersons.Listening to her pretending to be ignorant, Matthew's face darkened for a moment.But he showed a helpless expression in an instant and sighed. "Hannah, I know you're still angry with me. I admit that I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father before. I want to make it up to you in the future. Can't you give me a chance?""When grandma was seriously ill, I didn't have the money for medical expenses and knelt at the gates of the Emerson manor. You didn't want to help me. When I had to drop out of school due to our de
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
