While Hannah had all the time to love herself, she also didn't mind loving others, offering her love and protection."Is that so?"Hannah frowned. She felt as if the government was also unsure of what they should do with the company. They seemed to be contemplating whether it was better for the company to go bankrupt or to continue operating.However, judging by Hailee's management, the company was already a mess. It probably left a bad impression on the government, hence, they were hesitant with their decision.Thus, it was very likely that she wouldn't be able to get the company back.After all, the government had countless ways and men to do whatever they wanted. There was no need for them to cling to this particular approach.Even if they chose this path, it wasn't necessary for them to continue using this specific company.Nevertheless, Hannah still felt quite regretful."I still have some time before I enter university, and I want to see if I can make something of this co
Despite the rumors online, Robert didn't ask any questions, nor did he blame her. Instead, he chose to believe in her and comforted her.How could he be so kind?Tears started welling up in Misty's eyes.She choked, "Robert, did you find out? Do you think I'm that despicable?"Her online profile was the daughter of a wealthy family who succeeded in everything in life. When her identity as a love child was exposed on the livestream, a lot of her fans turned their backs on her.Her only followers now were all haters. Hate was all she had been receiving now.Even Matthew despised her. Claudia, who had always wanted her to marry into a wealthy family, also started to blame her constantly after this incident. She was always sighing, feeling utterly upset.Robert was the only one who treated her the same.Thus, she couldn't help but feel wronged."People do get angry; it's not a big deal. You're just stressed out from all that filming. It's completely normal."Not only did he not c
Misty remembered how Connor was severely injured the last time she saw him.He had literally been covered in blood. She had been genuinely worried that he would just stay unconscious forever from all that blood loss.She couldn't help but wonder whether the group of men who were chasing him earlier were the same people who had injured him previously.Feeling curious, she speculated on what had happened to him and why there were so many people trying to hurt him.Her mind was spiraling with thoughts. Glancing up at him, she couldn't help but feel hesitant.Misty had to admit that Connor was extremely charismatic.He had that irresistible bad-boy charm. At first glance, he seemed tough, yet he was strangely attractive.Thus, she thought he wasn't a bad person."Why are you always in trouble?" Misty couldn't help but mutter.However, there wasn't a hint of disdain in her tone at all.She bit her lip as she could clearly feel how well-built he was. Her heart raced slightly.Give
Connor made a bold move. He had no intention of hiding what they were doing.At the same time, Misty had no idea whether these people knew him.When Bruce's gaze swept past her, she was even more terrified. Her heart skipped a beat.Her whole body was shivering. Little did she notice she had subconsciously nestled up to Connor.There was a hint of delight in his eyes. His nonchalant gaze swept past Bruce."Enough, what are you looking at? Don't act like you've never seen a woman in decades!" Bruce yelled immediately after regaining his senses.He slapped Finn, who was teasing Misty earlier, on his head as he scolded, "We're here for business; not for you to hook up with ladies!"Covering his head, Finn replied sheepishly, "I wasn't going to hook up with her. I was just making a remark.""If you mess things up and end up letting him get away, you'll be very sorry!"Bruce shot a look at Finn.After that, he tapped the bat against his palm as he asked, "Hey, did you guys see a m
"You—Just how shameless are you?"Misty was taken aback, not expecting him to say such things.She couldn't help but express her frustration."I was trying to help you. How could you say that?"She finally realized how tall he was when he stood up. Trapped between his arms and the table, she seemed particularly petite.He was like a mountain that she could never get over.She had to admit that Connor looked quite intimidating. Everything about his expression and looks screamed bad vibes.Nonetheless, Misty was somehow certain that he wouldn't hurt her. Instead, he would tolerate and care for her.Thus, she felt wronged when she heard him. Tears were about to fall from her red-rimmed eyes as she glanced up at him.How could he be so ungrateful? How could he insult her like that when she helped him?Her tearful state indeed made her seem pitiable. It was as if she was trying hard to hold back her tears despite being wronged.Connor's heart couldn't help but melt when he recall
Mustering up her courage, she shot a look at Connor."Stop saying stuff that'll create misunderstandings. This isn't appropriate."Yet, he was triggered.The smile faded from his face as his expression darkened in a split second.Looking like someone had punched the living daylights out of him, he hissed, "Do you have any idea of what you're saying?"It turned out that she would rather two-time someone else than marry him.He couldn't figure out whether it was because she didn't fancy him, or she was simply a slut who enjoyed getting in between relationships.What was she thinking?Connor was certain that he was definitely better than Cedric and Robert."Am I not any better than your boyfriend?"There was a hint of hysteria in his eyes as he glared at her."I'm certainly not bad-looking, and my family is well off. How am I not any better than your boyfriends?"Or are they better than me in bed? But you've never had sex with me, how would you know if I'm worse than them?"C
Connor was a dangerous man. He couldn't care less about the social etiquette of the upper crust, and neither did he fear the law.He paid little attention to his image, and he wasn't concerned about the consequences of his actions.Thus, Misty didn't dare to provoke him. She no longer wanted to get involved with him anymore.The best way to get out of this situation was to make sure that they were even."No," Connor answered right away, his gaze growing intense.He refused her offer in an instant as he continued, "You saved me again today. I owe you now. There's no way that we are even. Plus …"His gaze swept past her as he drawled, "I don't think Zane's life has the same value as mine. I'm worth more than him."Misty frowned. She was incredibly flustered.Why in the world was he so eager to repay her?She had stated that she didn't need him to do so, yet he was willing to owe her. He was determined to be involved with her.Connor was incredibly attractive despite his menacin
Was it Hannah?Was Connor going to make a move against Hannah?The more Misty thought about it, the more her eyes shone with anticipation.She was afraid of Connor's ruthless, unrestrained, and unbridled actions when facing him.But when she thought about him going against Hannah, she felt joy and even looked forward to the development of the situation.On the other side, Hannah had no idea that she was being targeted.During this period, Molly had moved into the Winchester residence. The house became warmer due to that.Naomi, Nina, and Kaden absolutely loved staying by Molly's side.They even dug up a patch of roses in the backyard and moved them near the fence to make way for vegetables.After studying for a day, Hannah went downstairs to relax. She couldn't help but say, "What are you guys doing?""Grandma says that the vegetables we grow are the most delicious."Naomi's excited face was covered in mud. "Hannah, look! I planted these! I'll treat you to the green beans
