After all, Nina was the most timid sibling among the Winchesters. Nina wasn't aware of her sarcasm at all. Instead, she covered her face and giggled. She was truly an angel. It was undeniable that she was traumatized by her past, which left a scar on her character development. Nevertheless, she grew up with a kind heart despite the distress. She had always been pure and innocent, and no one would have the heart to taint her. "The way Mr. Nicholl speaks is hardly comprehensible," Naomi remarked as she approached and sneaked a glance at the invitation card. To her, the invitation was way too simple. It was almost like no information was given. As she wrinkled her face in confusion, she asked, "Hannah, what does this mean? What brings Mr. Nicholl here today?"She found the way smart people spoke to be extremely indirect, making her utterly confused. "He's here to send me a gift on behalf of Darren."Hannah smiled and closed the invitation as she continued gently, "However,
"Why are you in a hurry?" Hannah asked curiously. "Is there anything urgent?"The Winchester siblings rarely received any affection from their elders. Thus, they hadn't experienced the warmth of a family since childhood. Since Molly moved in, they had been very dependent on her. During this time, Anthony had been practicing at the club. He took a break today and took Molly out for a stroll. As Erica fumbled with her fingers, the tip of her foot grazed past the floor subconsciously. She answered dryly, "I-I was making soup in the kitchen … I forgot to check on it earlier."Next week, she was going to start working at Starlight Foundation. This was her first step to moving forward in life, and she took it very seriously. In the past few days, she had been reading through the materials Hannah had prepared for her. "Oh, so you're making soup, Erica! No wonder it smells so good."Naomi inhaled whimsically as her hand flew to her stomach. She exclaimed, "I've been smelling it
His dark eyes were heavily tinged with lust. His aloof demeanor vanished in an instant as he fell into the web of lust she had woven. This felt magical. It was even slightly addicting to him. "You're one to talk, Darren."She lazily propped her chin with one hand, resting her elbow against her knee as she glanced at him with a smile. She was stunning. Everything about her was pulling him closer to her. Her long dress gently adhered to her figure, and her complexion was glowing. She was staring at him with her attractive eyes and succulent lips. As she leaned into him, he could clearly feel her luscious curves against him. Her lips closed into his ear as she whispered, "You lied to me, and this is the punishment you'll get."Darren swallowed hard. She was way too close. When she spoke, her lips would touch the edge of his ear. They were soft and warm, which reminded him of clouds.His ears became flushed when he realized the sensation made him desire her more. Howev
Hannah smiled playfully, seeming to understand his thoughts."Hannah, you feel that it's good too, right?"Naomi raised her head proudly.Darren no longer stared at her with that scary look. He obviously agreed with her statement.Feeling relieved, Naomi was a little smug, and she said, "I understand now. If Hannah wishes to, I'll accompany her to the police station to lodge a report.""It's good."Hannah said with a smile as her gaze was fixed on Darren, "We should catch this fraud and sentence him to life in prison."Darren's ears felt hot, and his heart was burning. The fire seemed to make his blood boil.At the same time, his body started heating up causing his brain to become a bit hazy. The whole situation made him feel a sense of unreal sweetness.Hannah said that she would like him in her heart for a lifetime.His eyes were deep and dark as he held her playful hand in his while slightly tightening his grip.He was not someone who could take jokes lightly.If she s
Erica had a surprised smile upon hearing Nina's words.Her previous living environment had been too oppressive, so she was used to placing herself in a humble position.She was rarely praised by others.With a happy expression, she subconsciously denied, "My cooking skills are just average. I still have a lot to learn from Mrs. Tate …"She didn't finish her sentence and bit her tongue lightly, unable to continue her words.She had a confused look on her face.Indeed, she couldn't be compared to Mrs. Tate.Mrs. Tate had studied abroad and had specialized qualifications to manage the household efficiently.Not only did she have excellent cooking skills, but she was also efficient in handling tasks.Unlike Erica, the best she could offer was to make some mediocre soup.Perhaps they didn't find her soups particularly delicious. They were just being polite.Nina didn't understand why Erica stopped talking mid-sentence and lowered her head with a blank expression while biting her
Regina was shocked at the mess. She covered her chest and asked, "What's going on? Why are you so angry?""Timothy, that leech!" Gregory's anger soared as he threw another vase while breathing heavily like a bull.He had only realized that the situation had escalated due to Timothy's cooperation with the investigation.What benefits could he get when the Moores were in trouble?Timothy was just a useless man relying on the Moores' shares. Wouldn't he get into trouble himself if the Moores fell?His overwhelming rage masked Gregory's uncontrollable panic.He couldn't help but recall how his talented and extraordinary brother had risen in the business world. Timothy had overshadowed him completely.Even if the Moores fell, with Timothy's abilities, he could still live well.But what about him?No, it was impossible!After so many years, Timothy's nothing now.No matter how much he tried, he couldn't change the fact that he had become useless for over a decade.Clutching his f
Gregory had completely reached a deadlock.Regina's face turned paler.As an upper-class woman for so many years, she certainly was not oblivious to the changes in such a situation.Fearing for Moore Group's predicament, she panicked and stumbled.Gripping the back of the sofa for support, she said in a trembling voice, "How could this happen? How did it turn into this …? Is our money not enough?"Everything seemed fine just a short while ago.The once seemingly unreachable upper-class ladies had smiled warmly at her.Many people surrounded her, wanting to please her.Her son had just gotten married and had a child on the way.Everything was going smoothly in life, making her feel a great sense of pride.How did everything change in just a few days?"All our money has already been invested."After the extreme rage and madness, only a sense of desolation remained.Gregory sat on the sofa and said weakly while holding his head, "The project needs a lot of money. How can our
Regina spoke with sincerity. She even choked several times.However, Gregory's face changed drastically after hearing her words. He abruptly let go of her hand and angrily asked with an icy expression, "You don't believe I can handle this? You don't believe in me, but you believe in that useless Timothy?"Regina stared at him in shock and instinctively denied, "No, that's not what I meant!""Then, why don't you support me?"Gregory's gaze was cold as he took a step forward fiercely. "Do you not understand how important this project is to me?"Seeing his distorted expression, a hint of fear rose in Regina's heart.She knew that Gregory was fixated on this matter.He was determined to try this precarious path, and he wouldn't allow himself to fall into an abyss.He only wanted success."But …"Regina attempted to persuade him again, "If the bank doesn't approve the loan, we can't afford to continue investing on our own, can we?""If the bank doesn't loan us the money, we'll
