If they were not under public scrutiny, Gregory would have slapped some sense into Nigel.Was it really worth fighting for a woman from the slums who had nothing going for her except for her beauty?Even Harold and Fiona were trembling in anger, but they couldn't explode in front of the Winchesters. What could they do?As Catherine was deeply in love with Nigel and was even carrying his child, there was no way the Langleys could turn things around. They worried that they might suffer from the consequences of falling out with their in-laws, not to mention how shameful that would be.Since they could not afford to offend their in-laws, they chose to look past Nigel's poor attitude. Still, their expressions betrayed their disapproval, and the incident left a bad impression on them.Nigel snorted with a smirk. "Alright. I know what's on your mind. Please don't look at me with that wary expression. I have agreed to marry Cath. Isn't that enough?"Even until the wedding, Nigel still ac
Lila, falling apart, shrieked in fury, "Were you talking about me?"Hannah had clearly mocked her IQ. What a sharp-tongued woman!"I'm referring to whoever feels the heat," Hannah replied with a disdainful smile and scanned Lila from head to toe.She added with contempt, "Why? Can't I comment on you after what you said about me?"Lila was at a loss for words. An ugly scowl appeared on her face. How she wished she could rip Hannah into pieces.Darren finally spoke out, "You're asking for a wedding gift?"His voice was hypnotizing. He sounded rather aloof when he remarked, "It's a social custom, isn't it? Of course, we came prepared."He rummaged for something in his pocket. Hannah tilted her head and looked at him curiously. Indeed, they had prepared a wedding gift regardless of the intention behind their attendance. Nowadays, guests preferred to buy the gift online and have it delivered. She planned to do the same as well.So, what was Darren looking for?"Here." He finally gr
Darren smiled.He asked coldly, "Mr. Moore, is this way the Moore family conducts itself?""What?" Gregory was slightly stunned."Why did your child get in the way when adults were talking?"He looked indifferent and solemn. "Or do you think I'm a child and should communicate with your children on your behalf?"Gregory said Lila was still a child. He was speechless.He dared not respond. He wasn't even qualified to be on the same level as Darren. How would he dare to admit that Darren and his children were of the same generation?Even if it was true, he didn't dare say it out loud!"Mr. Winchester, you must be joking," he could only say stiffly. "Lila is ignorant. Mr. Winchester, please don't take it seriously.""Mr. Winchester, today is Nigel's and my daughter's wedding."Seeing Gregory in a dilemma, Harold couldn't stand still.He was about to become Nigel's father-in-law. For the sake of Catherine's future life with the Moores, he couldn't continue to sit back.He bit
Nigel couldn't help but feel an ache in his heart upon witnessing them. It was even more painful when he realized that Darren and Hannah were attending his wedding.This fact alone sent him into a spiral of despair.He suddenly stepped forward and shouted impulsively, "Hannah!"The couple stopped.Darren glared at him murderously. It was shockingly different from his usual nonchalance.Nigel, who wanted to rush forward, froze and stood there blankly. Fear welled up in his heart.Then, Hannah tilted her head, revealing her slender neck.Her hand fell on Darren's palm. She smiled and said something to her husband.Soon, Darren showed helpless tenderness. He smiled and moved his gaze away.Hannah turned around and looked at Nigel with a polite and indifferent expression."Mr. Nigel, what's the matter?""Hannah, I'm getting married."Her attitude hurt Nigel. His eyes turned red. He didn't know what to say and could only give her an incoherent response.Hannah frowned slightl
It wasn't that Nigel didn't love Catherine. However, his love was both overwhelming and short-lived.He treated everyone the same. Even if someone was clearly in the wrong, he would not berate them.He would not chastise his family and friends for hurting his partner.Then, eventually, his love would disappear, and he would find someone new.When he fell out of love with someone, he would be cold and indifferent to them.How could his marriage with Catherine last when he was like this?Moreover, the Moores thought he was perfect. In their eyes, no woman in the world was worthy of him.Compared to Hannah, Catherine naturally was the perfect daughter-in-law to them."Do you think you can still live a good life without your current status?"Hannah looked at him coldly, not hiding her disgust. "You'll be nothing after leaving the Moores."Gregory and Regina were proud of their son. They thought he was a genius.It was a pity that he couldn't maintain the status quo after taking
Next, the guests moved to the cruise ship.The sea was blue, and the sky was clear. The clouds were passing by.With a whistle, the cruise ship sailed out of the port. The banquet had officially begun.As the person in charge of the Winchester Group, Darren naturally had no time to enjoy the banquet.Hannah originally could go away and have fun. But after "The Search" became a big hit, everyone suddenly realized she was an investment elite.Almost all the projects she invested in were profitable. She hadn't lost money yet.Her small amount of money had grown exponentially, reaching a large amount.She was rich and had a keen eye. Everyone wanted to network with her.Some guests gathered and complimented them. "Mr. Winchester and Ms. Emerson, you two are such a talented couple. You are a good match!""Yes, you two are powerful. We're already old to compete with you!""Ms. Emerson, your investment vision is rare and precise. Do you have any secret to your success?"A company
Hannah couldn't help but frown slightly. A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.As if unaware of her displeasure, Robert brought Karen to walk through the crowd to the front.He reached out and smiled. "Hannah, I haven't seen you in a long time. You're more charming than ever."He was handsome and gentle, and his gold-framed glasses made him look even more elegant.But his smile made Hannah feel uncomfortable, especially his gaze. Behind his kindness, there seemed to be a poisonous snake hissing at her. She wondered if it was an illusion. She felt that Robert had changed a lot.When Hailee wasn't in jail, and Jane wasn't in trouble, he didn't seem this gloomy even though she still felt uncomfortable with him."Hello, Robert."As if sensing her discomfort, Darren suddenly stepped forward.He stood before her to shield her from Robert's gaze. Then, he gripped Robert's hand and asked lightly, "Is your wedding with Ms. Lawson getting closer?""It's rare for you to care about su
Karen was gradually becoming strange, and she didn't know that. Not only did she look down on Robert, but she also hated him. She shouted, "I'm warning you. Don't you dare start daydreaming again! I'll never marry you!"After saying that, she looked at Darren obsessively. "Believe me, Darren! I don't like him at all!""It's none of my business."Darren frowned slightly, looked at her coldly, and said, "You don't need to tell me about your love life.""Darren, I don't like him! I won't marry him. Please don't be angry!"The underweight Karen looked fragile and pitiful.She stretched out her thin hands, trying to grab his clothes. "Darren, I've always loved you ... I've only wanted to marry you since I was a child! Believe me!"He dodged her touch and frowned even more.There was something wrong with her. It seemed that she could no longer listen to others' words. She was immersed in her world, constructing her fantasies for herself.He became cold.Hannah also furrowed her b
