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
Jealousy flickered in Misty's eyes the moment she lay eyes on the gown Hannah was wearing. That was the latest limited edition Chanel haute couture dress, well known for being extremely difficult to look good in. High beauty standards were required to enunciate the beauty of the dress, and even models found it tough to comply with them. Yet, Hannah was stunning in the dress. It completely accentuated her curves, making her as dazzling as ever. She was the most breathtaking sight on the cruise ship. This realization made Misty boil with jealousy. Given how Emerson Group was struggling now, she couldn't even make up her mind to get something from the latest season. On the contrary, Hannah, whom she had always looked down on, made it seem so easy to get her hands on haute couture dresses. This drastic difference made Misty's heart ache. "Hannah, I thought you wouldn't attend Mr. Moore's wedding," Misty couldn't help but blurt. With an innocent expression, she continued timid
The bare minimum Connor would do for Misty was to care for her. Unlike how he used to treat her in the book, he could no longer treat her as his precious. Nevertheless, he was still extremely protective of her due to his domineering demeanor. Thus, he couldn't bear Misty being on the receiving end of humiliation. He smirked and finally laid his eyes on Hannah. His eyes lit up uncontrollably. He had to admit that she was indeed a rare beauty. She was ultimately stunning. It was to the extent that she could make people go blind with her dazzling beauty. His gaze grew intense as he snickered. "Ms. Emerson," he said.Connor had a creepy look in his eyes. His gaze wasn't intimidating, but his interest was obviously piqued. It was as if he had found something fun to play with. It was truly unsettling to Hannah. She clenched her fists tight when she thought of his cruel ways. Not only was she not intimidated, she was more than ready to face him.In a vigilant manner, she asked
"I thought it wasn't appropriate of you to do that, so I just wanted to offer some advice. Why do you have to say that?"Tears were welling up in Misty's red-rimmed eyes. "Are you thinking of hitting me again?""Did she hit you?"Connor's eyes glinted with murderous intent when he heard Misty. He was glaring at Hannah, as if he was ready to pounce on her in the next second. "Mr. Richardson, have you not learned your lesson yet?"Darren stepped forward and blocked his line of sight. He hissed, "This is Hopeldon. You'd better think twice before you act.""What do you mean?"Connor's expression darkened in an instant when he realized what he meant. Feeling anxious, he continued, "What did you do?""I only let you have a taste of your own medicine, that's all," Darren replied with a nonchalant expression. He smirked as he stared into Connor's eyes. "Well, it seems like you're not that well-informed, aren't you?"Connor's heart skipped a beat. Just then, his phone rang.
