As Misty joined in the online condemnation of Hannah, she also discreetly tried to whitewash herself. Things were always wonderful in one's imagination. However, netizens weren't stupid either. Some had mock her in return."Who is this? What is she trying to do?""Really? Misty Emerson's matter was thoroughly exposed during the live broadcast by Ramona. How can it be whitewashed now?""This is amusing. A certain someone is already beyond words, who is Misty Emerson anyway?""Is this Misty's brainwashed fan? Hey, you. Misty is an illegitimate child and engaged in workplace bullying. Why are you still following her?"These comments made Misty turn pale. She couldn't control her anger and grabbed a nearby vase before smashing it to the ground."Damn it! These people deserve to die!"She was heaving with anger and muttered, "What do these fools know?""What's got you so upset?"Startled by the sudden outburst, Claudia looked at her daughter and frowned slightly. "Who upset you
Misty frantically dispelled the negative thoughts she was having. Just then, he phone rang. An unknown number sent her a text message.She had a feeling of déjà vu, making her heart tremble as she checked the message."Do you like my gift?"The message was brief. The familiar sentence made Misty immediately realize who the sender was. Connor Richardson.The man who was both righteous and evil, who instilled fear in people from the bottom of their hearts. Did he do this? Is this the gift he gave her?Thinking of what he said before he left, Misty felt complicated, with more surprise than anything else. Of course, she liked it!Witnessing Hannah's downfall had become her obsession. What was happening now was incredibly satisfying.Even though she felt that way, she kept a straight face, considering his unpredictable methods. She swiftly glanced around before replying to the message with a pale complexion."Was it you? Why did you do it?"Connor's reply came quickly. "You hate
Misty pursed her lips and tried not to burst into laughter. She showed a hint of hesitation before saying, "After all, Hannah has now married into the Winchesters …""Don't say her name, you don't have a sister!"Matthew interrupted her with a stern face as he impatiently said, "Regardless of which family she married into, given the current situation, who would tolerate her? You don't have to worry about her!"He simply wouldn't believe that Darren would still protect Hannah in this situation. In his mind, Hannah had already been sentenced to death."Dad, you've seen how much Mr. Winchester likes her. What if he insists on protecting her?"Misty bit her lip and whispered, "Dad, you also know that Hannah has always been vengeful. If we remain silent at a time like this, won't she hold a grudge against us? The Winchesters are powerful. So, I'm worried about you."She made a reasonable point. Thinking of Darren's affection for Hannah, Matthew's expression became extremely unpleasa
Hannah lowered her head and sighed helplessly."Don't worry, Hannah," Anthony said as he leaned back in his chair lazily. He continued in an indifferent tone, "Darren just wants to protect you. It's the natural thing he would do."Observing Anthony's attitude, Hannah couldn't help but feel even more helpless. The Winchesters were something else …"This matter isn't as simple as it seems…" Hannah paused. She wasn't sure how to continue. She understood that they were just trying to look out for her.Darren was a living prodigy. He steered the Winchester Group to one of the top companies in Hopeldon at just a young age. How could a person like him not have thought of the consequences?Darren knew fully well the buzz that would come from posting that tweet. He approached the criticisms online in a composed manner. He never once acted on impulse. He understood the consequences. Yet, he was willing to face them for Hannah's sake. Hannah felt a lump in her throat. She always knew
Darren spoke in a calm and determined tone. "Anyone who hurts you will pay the price."There was a deadly glint in his eyes. Yet, he managed to mask it perfectly.There was no way that he would let anyone hurt the person he loved so dearly.He was determined to find out the mastermind behind everything that happened. He was going to make them pay. "Thank you, Mr. Winchester."A sense of warmth swelled up within her heart and spread through her entire body. Hannah didn't refuse him.She knew that this was his promise to her. It was also his way of protecting her. She turned around and wrapped her arms around his waist. She said softly, "Be more mindful of your methods. We're law-abiding citizens; Be careful not to make any mistakes, alright?"She didn't want him to fall into the gray area. Those people weren't worth him compromising his principles for. "Don't worry, Hannah."Darren wrapped his arms around her tightly. He said in a low voice, "Don't worry about those c
Erica never knew that a woman could be cared for and protected in such a way.She never knew that one did not need to bear any scoldings or take on the heavy responsibilities of household chores. All that Hannah needed to do was to live her life however she wanted. Erica pursed her lips tightly. She seemed to have lost her appetite. She set down her utensils and said softly, "I'm full.""You've only eaten so little!" Molly gave her a disapproving look. She asked in concern, "Do you not have an appetite? Have a little more." "I—I might not have slept well."Erica fidgeted with her fingers as she continued softly, "I'll just snack on some fruit when I get hungry later … I'll be heading upstairs now."In reality, she had also spent quite some time arguing with trolls online last night.It was just that her influence was minimal. She didn't make much of an impact. Instead, she found herself being insulted by online trolls and ended up crying herself to sleep.Compared to what Han
"Even her biological father speaks of her this way. She must be horrible!""I'm truly disgusted. So, this young lady isn't just violent to outsiders, but is actually equally as dominant and aggressive at home?""How could she possibly deny this? I wonder if Mr. Winchester knows about his wife's true colors.""Isn't her younger brother just a child? A child would never lie. From the way he reacted in the video, I'm sure he had personally experienced her abuse!""She's pure evil! How could she bear to hit a child!""I'm starting to doubt the authenticity of the incident with Misty Emerson. This is such a tragedy!""It must be hard to become a stepmother. I can't imagine the hardship that Mrs. Emerson had to go through!"While Molly struggled with using technology, she was not blind. She was trembling with anger upon reading the comments. "Matthew, that scumbag. How could he say such things about my darling!"Molly's eyes turned red from her anger. She said in a heart-wrenchin
Molly also described how Matthew had completely ignored Hannah's existence for the past 20 years. Back then, Hannah was just a child and so the calluses on her hands had faded gradually as she grew up. However, the calluses on Molly's hands remained. These were proof of the hardship that they went through.Furthermore, the life they had before was evident to their neighbors, Hannah's teachers, and classmates. It was significantly different from the way that Misty and Mateo lived. Hannah posted a new set of tweets with a calm tone. "I never thought that my family matters would be brought up to the attention of the public. "For the past 20 years, I've never once met my father, let alone asked him for a single penny. When Grandma fell ill, I knelt in front of the Emerson Manor to beg for help. Yet, I will never forget the feeling of despair when everyone ignored me. All I wanted was a bit of money, no more than the price of a bag that Misty owned. I needed the money to save Gra
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
