Lila stared intensely at Hannah, her eyes as red as blood. She wasn't sure if it was hatred that kept her going, or if it was because she did not dare to meet her friends' eyes. She had been the family's princess since she was young, and she had never been mistreated like this before. Lila felt as if she was going to die from humiliation. This sense of shame was even harder for her to accept than pain. She continued insulting her defiantly, "You're just a slut and a manipulative bitch!"There was a resounding slap. Hannah's eyes remained fixed on Lila as she slapped her again. "How should you address me?"Lila could be as defiant as she wanted. Hannah wasn't the one getting hit. Besides, Hannah had plenty of time to kill. "Wow … You … You slut! Nigel will avenge me! Don't even think about making my brother like you!"Lila began wailing loudly. There was another slap. Hannah was like a ruthless machine. She accurately slapped Lila again. "Say it. How should you ad
Lila worshiped her brother, and in her eyes, he could do no wrong.If Nigel had made a mistake, it had to be because someone had led him to do so.What Hannah had said failed to put Lila in touch with reality. Conversely, there was a flash of venom in her eyes, and she felt all the more that Hannah was pretending.It was just a pity that she had just gotten beaten up. Not only did her face hurt, but her feelings had been hurt too.She did not dare to provoke Hannah further at that moment and just swallowed her defiance resentfully. "Alright. I want to be alone for a while."Hannah couldn't care less about what Lila thought, and she crossed her arms against the railing once again.She had a perfect figure with curves in all the right places, and when she leaned casually against the railing as she looked out over the sea, she looked as beautiful as a painting. She exuded an air of relaxation and freedom.Even her voice was a seductive drawl as she waved her hand and said, "You g
The man who was always calm looked panicked for the first time. In the midst of this chaos, Hannah didn't seem to hear anything. She floated in the water elegantly and confidently.She was like a fish. It was as if the water had embraced her. Her skin was so pale that she seemed to glow as she appeared and disappeared into the water. She held the plank as she moved speedily to Lila, who was crying and screaming. Lila had never expected that the person who would come to save her would be Hannah.At this moment of despair, time seemed to slow down, and everything seemed to be in slow motion.Between life and death, she could see in minute detail the appearance and movements of Hannah as she approached. Her long hair floated in the sea like seaweed and stuck to her face, enhancing her facial features.Droplets of water beaded on her perfectly smooth skin. She seemed to be a creature of legends, a mermaid who had captured the light of the world. Hannah was unafraid of the
They were surrounded by danger, and if they were just one step slower, they would be at risk of losing their lives.Even at this time of crisis, Darren's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.This wasn't good.He thought inwardly that the IQ of people in love was probably a negative number. Otherwise, why wasn't he nervous at this moment of life and death? All that was left was a thick sweetness that filled his heart.All he wanted was to embrace the one he loved and kiss her for a long time. Even if they died at this moment, he would be content.But Hannah had said that they would grow old together.Since they hadn't even gotten old, they could not die.The two of them stopped talking and began forging ahead. They struck out with their arms and legs and swam as hard as they could toward the cruise ship.Lila hung on the plank between the two of them.She could not swim and there wasn't much she could help with. The only thing she could do was remain quiet and not cause t
They had given her, a seemingly worthless and somewhat sinister person, the safer option. She couldn't help but feel a mix of conflicting emotions.Before she could react, the hovercraft was within her reach.Hannah lifted her hands to push Lila up. She shouted clearly, "Go! Hurry!"In regard to Hannah's choice, Darren did not say a word. His gaze remained calm. He followed suit to push the wooden board once more so that it was closer to the hovercraft. His actions demonstrated his support for her decision. The more critical the situation became, the more Lila's limbs began to tremble. Her whole body was shaking in fear. Her mind went blank. She dared not think about what was going to happen to Hannah and Darren, let alone what would happen if she didn't succeed in climbing up. She gritted her teeth tightly until the taste of blood permeated her mouth. Her vision was blurry, and tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably. In a daze, Lila was driven by an unwavering
Upon seeing both of them safely on the hovercraft, the people on the deck finally let out sighs of relief. They urged, "Quick, come up!""Be careful! The shark is about to hit the hovercraft!""Quickly come up!"Their prey was right in front of the sharks, yet they couldn't reach it.The worst part was that sharks were already agitated by the smell of blood. The shiver of sharks couldn't endure it. They attacked the hovercraft aggressively resulting in it swaying violently. It looked beyond frightening. Hannah and Darren exchanged a glance. There was a faint smile lingering in both of their eyes. They gently nodded at each other. There was an unspoken understanding between them.With a swift turn, they exerted force under their feet and pounced toward the two ladders that were dangling on the sides of the ship. Although it was quite a distance, they both successfully grabbed hold of each of the ladders. The people on the ship sighed in relief. Hannah climbed upward swi
Hannah and Darren acted as if there was no one else around them. The people around them finally returned to their senses upon seeing the both of them about to return to the room to change. "Wait!" Regina shouted out instinctively. There was a vicious look on her face. "Is there a problem, Mrs. Moore?" Darren asked. His expression darkened in dissatisfaction as he stared at Regina coldly. Upon sensing his irritation from being stopped, Hannah raised her hand and gently pinched his arm. She peeped her head out from the side of his shoulders and said politely, "I'm not dressed appropriately to chat right now. Is there something so urgent that can't wait until I get dressed, Mrs. Moore?""I hope you understand my concern as a mother for her child, Ms. Emerson. I want answers right now," Regina said with a shiver. As she spoke, she slowly returned to her senses. She tried her best to ignore the chilling aura of Darren. She pointed to Lila's face and said, "When I see Lila's c
The smirk on her lips also gradually widened. She wanted to expose Hannah; She wanted everyone to know Hannah's true colors. Lila, who had her head lowered the entire time, finally reacted. She lifted her head slowly and revealed a pitiful face. She had been slapped multiple times, soaked in seawater, and even bawled her eyes out. Her eyes were now red and puffy. Her cheeks were also swollen. She looked miserable. It was no wonder that Regina was heartbroken. She had nearly lost her mind. Catherine couldn't help but feel even more excited. She urged, "Tell us, Lila! Don't be afraid. Nobody can hurt you now."Upon seeing Lila's miserable expression, Catherine truly believed that Lila now despised Hannah. Catherine couldn't help but wonder how embarrassing it must be for Hannah right now. She wanted to see how Hannah could possibly turn the situation around this time.Lila's lips quivered slightly. Her gaze landed in Hannah's direction, yet she dared not look directly
