"Lila, what nonsense are you saying?"Regina was anxious and furious. She tugged at Lila and asked, "What happened? Have you been possessed? Why did you apologize to this cunning bitch!""Mrs. Moore, mind your words."Upon hearing Regina's words, Darren's expression darkened. He shot her a warning gaze. "How dare you insult my wife in front of me! Do you take me as a fool?""I—I didn't mean it that way …"Regina paused momentarily. She froze.Under Darren's gaze, she couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. She sturred, "I—I was just …"However, she couldn't seem to find a reasonable excuse to explain her behavior. "Mr. Winchester, my wife was just being too anxious. She didn't mean it."Gregory quickly covered up for Regina. He forced out a smile and continued, "She's overly concerned for our daughter. I hope you understand, Mr. Winchester. Please forgive her!""What if I said that I don't forgive her?"There was a sarcastic smirk that appeared on Darren's lips. He contin
Gregory was overly proud when he had the chance. He wanted to sound tough but was instead immediately dismissed for his tough talk. It was such a joke. Throughout this incident, the attention of those in the business field was focused on the Moores and the Moore Group. Yet, the attention of the young women was focused on Darren's behavior. He was the man of every woman's dreams. He was dominant, outstanding, handsome, yet affectionate. He was the kind of man that other men could only aspire to be. At the same time, Hannah was just as extraordinary as he was. Apart from her family background, there was nothing else that people could criticize her for. She garnered jealous looks from many young women, but there was nothing that they could do about her.They could only keep the thought to themselves and hope that one day they would have a marriage that was half as romantic as hers. Perhaps it was because of the strong sunlight shining directly onto the sea, but Hannah f
Hannah was rather direct with her words. Darren, on the other hand, just stood quietly beside her. There was a playful glint in his eyes as he looked at her affectionately. It was evident that he supported her. With her arms crossed in front of her chest, she scanned her surroundings and lifted her chin slightly."Didn't you ask for my opinion? Well, let me make it clear today. I don't think there's anything wrong with what Mr. Winchester did. Moreover, I think he did a great job."How could she possibly blame him instead of feeling touched when he was just standing up for her? Did Catherine really take her for a fool?Her slender fingers playfully lifted Darren's chin. A seemingly flirtatious action when done by others, seemed rather bold when it was done by her. She placed a gentle kiss on his lips. Her cold tone turned gentle. "I think it makes him even more attractive and sexy. It makes me fall deeper in love with him every day."Darren's gaze darkened. Trying his best
"Ana, Mr. Moore is almost the same age as my father, I can't bear to see him being mistreated this way."Cedric had a righteous look on his face. He shook his head slightly and continued, "Even if you don't agree with me, I'm still going to speak up to fight for what's right."Diana opened her mouth to speak. She couldn't help but wonder if he was really fighting for what was "right". After all, if it wasn't for the Moores who stirred up trouble in the first place, Hannah and Darren would've already returned to the cabin to change their clothes. However, now that Cedric brought up his father, it wouldn't seem appropriate for her to stop him. Furthermore, she didn't want to embarrass him in front of everyone. She couldn't help but feel a deep sense of guilt. She dared not look at Hannah's expression.After a brief moment, she released her grip on him. She shut her eyes and said in a clear tone, "If that's your choice, then go ahead and do what you want. But let me make it cle
Gregory's gaze flickered. His eyes were filled with a deep sense of dissatisfaction. "Lila, are you still not willing to tell us the truth after everything that's happened?"Catherine had walked up in front of Lila at some point in time. Perhaps it was because of her anxiousness, Catherine grabbed Lila's arms and said fiercely, "Take a look around! Your parents are being humiliated because they are trying to stand up for you. We are all supporting you. "Why aren't you willing to tell us the truth? How much longer do you plan to cover up for this woman!""Ouch! That hurts! Let go of me!"Lila shouted and tried to pull away instinctively. However, she had been through so much today. After everything that had happened, she was utterly exhausted. She didn't have the strength to pull away. She tried to struggle out of Catherine's grasp but didn't succeed. Instead, the pain increased. It turned out that Catherine had directly grabbed onto the wound on her arm. Catherine's mani
Nigel recalled that during her last prenatal checkup, the doctor had emphasized being extremely cautious during the first three months. Moreover, he had grown up together with Catherine since he was young. He always treated her as a younger sister. Their physical relationship had only occurred because he was wasted. In any case, he had wronged her. Considering that Catherine didn't do anything wrong, Nigel realized that he had gone too far. When he returned to his senses, Nigel pursed his lips. He wanted to rush forward to help her up. "Cath, I'm sorry … I acted on impulse just now. Perhaps it's because the sun was too strong that caused me to act out of place. Are you alright, Cath? Do you feel any discomfort in your stomach?"With a regretful expression, Nigel bent down. Yet, before he could lay a finger on Catherine, he was pushed away forcefully by someone else."Asshole!"Harold couldn't tolerate it any longer. He stepped forward abruptly, lifted his hands, and th
As she spoke, she caressed her stomach and lowered her head pitifully. Harold could only suppress his anger. He sneered coldly and remained silent. Nigel let out a silent breath of relief. Upon watching the scene unfold, Hannah found it rather ironic. Was love really that important?It felt as if Catherine was stabbing both Harold and Fiona in their hearts. It also felt as if she was trampling all over their dignity.She was willing to hurt her parents' feelings for someone she didn't even love.How heroic. Hannah sneered coldly and said, "Are we still going to continue pursuing my issue now? Otherwise, I'd like to change my clothes in the cabin."As she spoke, she gently tugged at her sleeves. The damp clothes that she had on felt uncomfortable to wear. Furthermore, her skin started feeling dry and tight after soaking in the seawater. She desperately needed a refreshing shower. Cedric's gaze shifted toward Hannah, "You seem rather unbothered about the situation, Ms
Hannah was slightly taken aback. She instinctively grabbed his hand and wanted to examine it carefully. "Mr. Winchester, are you hurt? Where are you hurt? How bad is it?"The incident just now was so chaotic that her focus was solely on the Moores. She had overlooked his condition. Upon recalling the school of sharks in the water and the fact that he was the last to get onto the hovercraft, it was likely that he might have gotten injuries underwater that she hadn't noticed. Filled with regret and concern, she bit her lip and said, "I was too careless.""Don't worry, Hannah. It's just a small injury."There was a vague smile in his dark eyes. Upon seeing her anxiousness, Darren quickly reassured her, saying, "I just exerted too much force and was hit by the shark's tail."Hannah didn't notice his relaxed tone. She remained silent and pulled him into the room. A sense of warmth surged up in Darren's heart upon seeing Hannah's concern for him. With a helpless tone, he said, "H
