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
Upon hearing Fabian's words, Hannah's face turned pensive.She knew that Fabian was implying that attending this banquet was just the first step for her.Everything depended on her own capabilities.Here, her identity as Mrs. Winchester was both an advantage and a disadvantage.She would face more scrutiny and would be observed from all sides.However, she was not afraid.She was prepared for everything since she'd decided to come to the banquet.Taking a shallow breath, a fighting spirit surged in Hannah's eyes. Her eyes also radiated unfiltered confidence."Mr. Nicholl, please rest assured."Her voice was sweet and had a girlish charm to it, yet her face was resolute. "I will definitely not waste the opportunity you have given to me."Fabian couldn't help but be momentarily surprised.People would often describe someone like Hannah as a "beauty without brains." It was a bias rooted in the belief that having outstanding looks alone was enough for a life of ease and privileg
It was as if …It was as if the two of them were no longer on the same level. The occasions that Misty considered crucial, or even flattered by, seemed ordinary to Hannah.How could this be acceptable to Misty, who had always been proud of herself, who had vaguely regarded Hannah as her enemy, and who had always compared herself to her?For a woman whose mother died early and was abandoned by her father, how could Hannah be leading a life better than hers?"Hannah, it has been a long time since I last saw you. I just wanted to have a chat with you."The jealousy and resentment in her heart almost burned away her rationality.Misty tightly clenched her hands. Her exquisite and beautiful nails almost sunk into her palms.However, she put on a sweet smile and warmly took a seat opposite Hannah. Then she said with a soft voice, "Many things have happened to me recently, so I wanted to talk to you.""Long time no see? Didn't we just meet a few days ago at Mr. Moore's wedding?"Hann
