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.
Darren was deliberately asking for death when he underestimated Connor.Connor was so certain that he would make Darren regret it the moment he sent him to the ground.Yet, it seemed like Darren could see right through his moves. He dodged him swiftly and grabbed him by his wrist. Once he caught Connor, he hit him in the stomach with his elbow. Connor's eyes almost popped out of their sockets as he groaned. Nonetheless, Darren had just begun to unbutton his cuffs and roll up his sleeves. He turned and glanced at him scornfully as he said, "Do you think there's the need for me to even take you seriously?"Undeniably, Darren was a successful business. He was elegant and dignified. With his sharp senses in the industry, he always appeared distant and composed. At first glance, his maturity made him seem nothing like his young age. However, he looked very different from his usual self now. His expression was filled with arrogance as his eyes gleamed with defiance. The look i
Misty's face went red in an instant when she looked at him. Biting her lip, she shot an embarrassed look at him as she whispered, "Who said I felt bad for you?"However, with her flushed face and teary eyes, it seemed like she was only being stubborn. Well, at least Connor was unfazed. Not only was he not angry, but he even chuckled lightly. Hannah couldn't help but frown when she saw how lovey-dovey they were being. How could they possibly do this at this time? Darren also thought this was utterly absurd. Furrowing his brows, he asked icily, "Are you not going to fight?"In an instant, Connor's gaze grew intense. The tender look in his eyes vanished immediately. "Stop!"Misty's eyes were red as she desperately tried to stop them. "Fighting won't solve the problem! What happened?""Mr. Winchester, you're very clever, aren't you?"Connor's eyes were flaring with murderous intent as he scoffed and remarked sarcastically, "You messed with my place when I'm not around.
