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
If Karen consulted a psychiatrist and recovered, it would be troublesome! Robert could not allow this to happen. Robert reached out to support her swaying body. He held her close, trying to comfort her. "Karen, it's okay," he said. "You don't have to go to a psychiatrist if you don't want to. Just calm down and stop crying, okay?"He took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears. His face showed a hint of heartache, and he sighed softly. "I feel bad when you cry."He seemed to be the most affectionate and gentle boyfriend. Combined with his handsome face, his actions drew the attention and envy of many young women. Who wouldn't be envious? The current Karen was ugly and in an abnormal mental state. But, her fiancé stayed by her side and took care of her patiently.Which woman wouldn't dream of receiving such deep affection?But, Karen wasn't touched. She only felt the handkerchief on her face pressing on her thin cheeks painfully. Robert's gaze was like a tightly wove
Robert could not disrupt someone else's wedding like this. Robert clearly knew that as well. With a wry smile and a hint of anxiety on his face, he spoke sincerely. "Karen has been emotionally unstable of late. I'm afraid that she might do something impulsive and get into trouble if she were left alone. "I'm worried about leaving her on her own. Can you please help me find her and bring her back?"He stood up and continued, "David and Mary entrusted her to me. It means they trust me to take care of her. If anything goes wrong, it will be my fault. Please help me find her. I'll be forever grateful."He was so polite and sincere. It was in stark contrast to Karen's erratic and immature behavior. The socialites became even more sympathetic toward Robert. One of them couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, Mr. Wilfare. We'll have the staff on the lookout. Rest assured. Ms. Lawson will be fine."Relieved by their words, Robert finally smiled and nodded in gratitude. "Thank you for you
Of course, Darren was not in a hurry! Now, the one who had to be anxious was Robert.Darren suddenly dropped a bomb and then casually moved on. It was as if he didn't care about what Torrence had done at all.How could he not care?Robert knew what he'd made Torrence do. He tricked Darren into believing that his legs would never work again. Then, he deliberately delayed his treatment which caused prolonged pain and potential side-effects. Robert even had Torrence prescribe Darren depressants, leading him to develop depression. They tried to drive him to the depths of despair. Robert had entertained the thought more than once. If Darren were to take his own life, Robert would rejoice. The Winchester Group would be his!This was a premeditated murder for profit. Robert put himself in Darren's shoes. If someone had done this to him, he would have wanted to tear them limb from limb to get revenge. But how could Darren stay so calm and collected, as if it were nothing?What was
Robert couldn't let Hannah catch him off guard. She had ruined a lot of things for him. He should have been more vigilant.How could he repeatedly underestimate her just because she was a beautiful woman? A warning bell rang in his mind. Robert forced a smile on his face and said, "Hannah, why would you think that? I'm a bit clumsy. Financial management took up a lot of my time.""I see."Hannah nodded as if she was just asking. She smiled and stopped talking. Then, she leaned against Darren and whispered to him. What was she saying?Robert's heart was pounding with panic. He was so flustered and angry that he wished he could smash everything in sight. But, he could not.What was going on with this couple? They did things the same way. After saying something that made him tremble with fear, they casually dropped the topic. They left him hanging in uncertainty.Were they playing with him? It was funny to see him at a loss, wasn't it?One day, he would crush them and make them
It was Hannah's presence that brought meaning to his life.Why would he waste time looking at anything else?Darren's tone was casually affectionate. Such affectionate words seemed to come to him naturally. "Mr. Winchester, you're getting better at sweet talking."Under his gaze, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.Hannah turned away and didn't look at him. Her ears were faintly pink, and her voice broke in the sea breeze. "Did you secretly eat candy behind my back?""Yup, I ate something sweet. That's why I got better at sweet talking."Darren looked at her profile, raised his hand, and playfully pinched her red lips.He looked at her meaningfully and said. "If you like it, I'll eat more in the future, and say more things that you like."Hannah wanted to glare at him, but her eyes seemed to hold back tears. So, the look she gave him was not intimidating.Eventually, she couldn't help but smile. She relaxed and leaned back into his arms. She chuckled and said, "
"I'm not letting go."Darren paid no attention to the surprising glances they received. Not only did he hold her tight in his embrace, he even lowered his head and tucked it near her neck. It was a baffling sight to see how attached he was to her. It was like seeing a god falling in love with a mortal. He was just like any other ordinary man in this world. His superiority was stripped off him as he fell head over heels for her. He didn't pay any attention to the public either. He gave her shoulder a slight nudge gently. In a hoarse voice, he continued, "I'm completely smitten with you. I'm all yours."It was rare for him to say such words. Probably embarrassed, he didn't hold his head up for a long time. He didn't dare to look at her expression. Well, he seemed pretty tame this way. Darren was more than willing to be bound to her. He set aside all his indifference and completely submitted himself to her. His voice was already enchanting, to begin with. When he spoke in
Hannah finally realized the plot had its own rules. In the end, Misty, who was miles apart from her old self, would still meet her destined backer. As Misty's greatest backer, he was extremely protective of her with his cruel antics. Misty was the only one who mattered to him. Thus, he would get rid of anyone who got in her way to make sure everything went smoothly for her. Hence, she rose to fame quickly in the entertainment industry. If another actress who was more talented than her got the role, she would just have to sob about it, and Connor would take care of the rest. Furious, he would get men to rape that particular actress and spread her nudes all over the Internet. The actress' career would be completely ruined and she would succumb to depression. In the end, she'd commit suicide. If Diana wanted to win Cedric over, all Misty had to do was just act sad. This was all that was needed to make Connor abduct Diana and ruin her face. These incidents that were mentioned
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
