The driver hesitated slightly.Hannah's gaze suddenly sharpened, resembling an unsheathed sword.Her voice rose as she said, "Quick! Don't waste time!"In this instant, her expression turned unsettling, her eyes reddened, and she exuded a rather frightening demeanor.Under her piercing gaze, the driver inexplicably felt a hint of fear.Without saying much, he hastily unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.Hannah directly slid into the driver's seat, swiftly fastening the seat belt, all the while continuing to comfort her grandmother over the phone.She pressed the gas pedal abruptly!Naomi clenched her fist, forcefully stuffing it into her mouth to stifle any screams.Gripping the handle tightly, she dared not make a sound, but her pupils widened in uncontrollable fear.She never knew that a car could go so fast!This didn't seem like driving. It was more like flying.Everything in her sight rapidly retreated. The car drifted and swerved, weaving through traffic,
Washing dishes and doing chores felt like an insult to Jadon. He couldn't accept it.In such a predicament, he felt cornered, facing a level of hardship he had never experienced before.Naturally, he developed a deep resentment toward Erica.So, when he joined these thugs and learned they intended to harm her, he unhesitatingly led the way."You animal!" Erica couldn't believe that the man she once had feelings for could sink even lower.As she observed his hideous expression, she couldn't fathom how she had ever fallen for such a person.Clamping her teeth together, she noticed Molly's lips turning slightly blue, a sign of heightened stress, edging on a potential health crisis.Worried, she exclaimed, "What do you want? If you have an issue with me, leave my elderly grandmother out of it!""What do I want? You, the sly one, snuggling up to a wealthy guy and enjoying the good life, huh?" Jadon sneered bitterly.His dirty hands grabbed Erica's chin, and with a repulsive gaze, h
The thunderous sound, filled with an overwhelming fury, made Jadon shiver involuntarily, prompting him to turn his head instinctively.A slender figure stood at the door, blocking the light. It was impossible to discern the person's face, but her bone-chilling presence was palpable, sending shivers down one's spine.Hannah moved silently as she approached.Dressed in casual home attire, she exuded a unique elegance.As Jadon saw her face more clearly, his expression turned increasingly grim. Recalling the fear of being easily subdued, he staggered backward."Ms. Emerson …" Seeing the newcomer, Erica couldn't hold back her tears, crying and apologizing, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault ... If it weren't for me, Grandma wouldn't have suffered..."Her body convulsed with sobs, overwhelmed by fear and guilt. Living in an environment that favored males, Erica, even in the urban city, had grown accustomed to a humble existence.The compassionate Molly had provided her with the care a
What if Hannah, a wealthy woman from a prominent family, got hurt?Remembering Jadon's sinister expression, Erica became even more concerned.These individuals were violently banging on the door under Jadon's leadership.Fortunately, the door's quality held up for a while.However, these people were insane. They climbed up from outside, stepped on the air conditioning unit, and forcefully broke through the balcony's glass door.In broad daylight, they seemed to show no hint of hesitation to commit a crime.If anything happened to Hannah, how would Erica cope with the consequences?Anxious thoughts raced through her mind as she continued knocking on the door, tears streaming down her face."Ms. Emerson, please don't act impulsively … These people are crazy; if you get hurt …""Quiet."Hannah's cold voice faintly transmitted from behind the door, carrying a particular reassuring strength.With a commanding presence, she continued, "Wait outside."Erica was suddenly taken aba
"I know I messed up. I truly know it. I'm just a useless piece of trash ..."Jadon's vision blurred for a moment.Unable to discern Hannah's expression, his fear intensified.He couldn't help but kneel, attempting to bow his head, but dizziness overwhelmed him. He could only humbly cry and plead, "Ms. Emerson, please spare me. Just pretend I don't exist. I know you're a generous person ...""So, you can feel pain and fear too!"Hannah scoffed.Switching the book to her left hand, she seized Jadon's hand with her right, slowly lifting it."Ah! Ah ah ah! It hurts, it hurts so much ..."Jadon howled instantly, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead as he desperately struggled.He was like a wriggling maggot.Hannah was directly holding his hand, forcefully pressing his fingers onto the bloody wound on his forehead.She pressed and twisted them into the wound, causing more thick blood to surge out.Watching him, she coldly laughed, "See that? Strip away your facade, and you'
They couldn't take it out fully on Hannah, that was why she could beat them so easily. Now, they were fully equipped with weapons. Could she possibly take them all out? Although Simon didn't utter a word, it was obvious that he was confident about beating Hannah. He took out a cigarette and tucked it between his lips. His lackeys hurried over to light it up for him. He strode to Hannah and puffed a whiff of smoke in her face. "Ms. Emerson, we don't want to take you as our enemy. Let's make a deal. Hand Erica over. Then things will end right here. How about that?"Holding her breath, Hannah glanced up at him. Her clear eyes stared right into his own. "You're really forgetful," she said regretfully, looking at him as if she had given up on him. Then, she asked, "Did no one teach you not to stay too close to danger?"Simon immediately had a bad feeling. Yet, it was too late. With a whoosh, she flung the "Soil Analysis" book at him without a trace of hesitation. The book la
An imposingly tall figure appeared on the balcony. His alluring features made him seem like a god who had just descended from the heavens. Even though he was standing still, his presence was overwhelming. Hannah's eyes lit up, the malice in her eyes fading. "Mr. Winchester! How did you get here?"Darren's expression finally softened when he saw she wasn't injured. "Naomi called me. How could I let you face this alone?"How he wished he could take her under his protection and shelter her from any possible injuries. Yet, he didn't have the heart to keep her restrained. Thus, he could only do his best to protect her from any danger. Lowering his gaze, Darren strode toward her. Of course, the thugs wouldn't let him do as he pleased. Just as they were charging at him with their metal bats, he delivered a kick to them without skipping a beat. Darren had excellent proportions. Even his legs resembled that of a model's. The muscles beneath his suit were refined, yet they were
Darren didn't turn around as he was trying to focus on their enemies. He got rid of his blazer so he could move better. The blazer was flung to the ground. He was only dressed in a plain shirt, with all buttons on his collar and cuffs unbuttoned. When he moved, the muscles beneath his shirt were vaguely showing. If Hannah was a contradictory beauty of charm and violence, he was the epitome of pure strength. Each of his attacks took down one person. Not only was he not wasting any energy, but he didn't have any flashy moves either. He resembled an assassin who had traversed countless dangers. Hannah narrowed her eyes slightly. She didn't think it was likely for him, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth to be so skilled at fighting. This thought only appeared in her mind for a brief second. Now wasn't the time for such thoughts. She slipped from under his arm and knocked a brawny man who was trying to ambush them from the side. "Hannah!"Darren shot a disapproving
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
