Darren's fingers brushed through her locks as he said softly, "I won't let you wait for too long, Hannah."Then, he leaned into her and planted a kiss on her lips before he took his leave. Misty's eyes were red from the jealousy boiling in her as she saw this sight. "Hannah, just you wait."She couldn't help but grit her teeth and sneer as she snapped, "What's the use of getting a man's love? Once he stops liking you, I'm eager to see how miserable you'll be."Hannah couldn't help but give her a look. What she said was completely absurd. She didn't sound anything like the female lead in a cringe romance novel. In the book, love was the only thing that mattered to her. She gave up playing the piano, what she was once best at, for Cedric's sake. Besides, she also gave up her job. In the end, in what seemed to be a perfect ending, Misty was willingly kept in captivity by Cedric. Yet she had the audacity to say men's love was unreliable. Or did she actually mean to say onl
Yet, how did things turn out this way? Why were things getting better for Hannah while Misty's life was a mess?Matthew, who preferred sons over daughters, used to treat her so well. He cherished her and was proud of her. However, his attitude toward her had changed completely. The praise and envy she used to receive had become insults. As the once-celebrated influencer, she was now drowning in insults. Nonetheless, the most frightening fact was that Misty had no idea when things took a complete turn for the worse. It seemed like it all started last summer. It was when she suddenly suggested that Matthew let Hannah marry into the Winchester family for her sake. But who knew what would happen?Darren, who was supposed to be in despair after being crippled, unexpectedly regained his mobility. Not only was he not depressed, he became stronger instead. Things were not supposed to be this way. Misty's expression was filled with resentment and hatred. Not a trace of innocent
"She solved her company's internal conflicts in the blink of an eye. Also, she has a lot of celebrities with high potential signed under her agency. She even managed to get a renowned veteran actor to be signed under her agency."Hannah chuckled, her gaze falling on Misty as she continued, "Look, this is how capable Ms. Sorsby is. Why can't you see anything else aside from her family?"According to the book's plot, Cedric didn't need any assistance since everything went well for him. Thus, he had all the time for Misty. Despite being the CEO of a company, he still had plenty of time for her. He even did all sorts of ridiculous things to make her happy. As the destined couple in the book, fate would help them avoid any problems coming their way. Other supporting characters would also strive to help solve their issues. Yet, Hannah's rebirth became a turning point. Darren's recovery contributed to the situation in Hopeldon now, and her involvement in the West and East Hopeldon dev
Hannah never thought there was a need to compete with Misty. However, it seemed like this wasn't the case for Misty. After all, she thought they were supposed to be polar opposites. In the past 20 years, while Hannah was suffering in the slums, she led a glamorous life, receiving praise from everyone else. Now, Hannah was excelling. Yet, Misty's life took a turn for the worse, and she didn't even dare to show up in public. This thought made her blood boil. She was determined to make Hannah inferior to her again. Also, she had to prove that she was never a weak woman who only knew how to rely on men. She was also capable of being independent. In spite of this, she thought that knowing how to leech off men was also a skill. Hatred flickered in Misty's eyes. She went off to a corner and made up her mind. She was determined to win back her position, and she would make everyone who looked down on her very sorry. By then, Hannah would realize she was wrong after all. Mist
Of course Misty knew what Cedric meant. They had been together for so long, so it was easy for her to catch on. "Did you miss me?" Her eyes flickered as she smirked. In a suggestive tone, she drawled, "Is Ms. Sorsby incapable of satisfying you in bed? Do you really miss me? Or you miss … hm?"She sounded so attractive when she spoke to him in such a suggestive manner. "Bitch, you're asking for it," Cedric replied with a chuckle. He could already imagine how flushed her face would be as she wrapped her arms around him. She would cling to him with an embarrassed expression, yet her actions showed otherwise. Misty was literally the woman of his dreams. Despite her usual innocent demeanor, she was incredibly charismatic in bed as she lured him to her. Even sex workers couldn't compare to her. Cedric tried to hold back his urges as he said in a hoarse tone, "Misty, you're gonna regret it later.""Well, I missed you too …"The smile on Misty's face widened when she heard t
After Cedric said so, he glanced over at Diana. His eyes which usually carried an indifferent look, were now filled with determination as he continued, "I don't really know how to date, but I want to make you feel secure. After all … I can't afford to lose you.""Woah!" The other socialites squealed in amazement. Given how considerate and kind Cedric was toward Diana, anyone would feel like he was madly in love with her.Even Diana couldn't help but be moved. She knew he was referring to their previous breakup. When she saw how determined he was to turn over a new leaf and was incredibly attentive to details, she was touched. Yet, she couldn't help but be doubtful. Maybe it was because she was influenced by Hannah when she used to complain about him to her. Hannah warned her to not give a cheating man a second chance. Thus, Diana was constantly paranoid. She was pondering on whether she should give Cedric more freedom. Though a lot of things were going on in her mind, she
Cedric smiled mockingly and asked, "Do you want that man to feel involved?"He didn't expect her to be so good at seducing men.Misty revealed a humiliated expression. She suddenly slapped him.She didn't slap him too hard for fear of angering him, but she couldn't help feeling happy.It turned out that hitting someone was satisfying.She couldn't explain why, but she was a little excited. She clenched her hands and screamed, "Shut up!""How dare you hit me!"In comparison to the almost negligible pain, Cedric couldn't accept she challenged his dignity.He was furious. He strangled her, pressed her against the railing, and said harshly, "How dare you do that!""Cedric! Who am I in your heart?"She was rarely this bold as she looked directly at him with reddish eyes.She grabbed his hand and looked sad. "I'm a human, not a robot! What do you think of me when you doubt and question me? What does a blazer prove?"She choked and sobbed. "I'm just holding a passerby's blazer. He
Nobody would expect the photographer to capture Hannah's miserable state covered in red paint.After all, Lila's red paint was for taking photos. She also prepared a canvas and pretended to use the red paint to paint on it.As for the spill on Hannah, she could say Hannah was unlucky. How would she know Hannah looking at the scenery here? It was just an accident that she staggered and fell.She was so happy at the thought of taking a photo of Hannah's miserable appearance and posting it online. People would see Hannah's embarrassed look.It didn't matter if she wasn't allowed to post it. She also called other socialites to come over and watch her take photos. They were all following the photographer.She'd bet Hannah would never dare to show up at banquets again if everyone witnessed Hannah's embarrassment.Hannah didn't know about Lila's plan. The first moment she heard the sound, she reacted quickly and turned to the side.She inhaled the pungent smell of paint.Sure enough,
