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
Misty had transformed back into her angelic persona.If it weren't for the malice still hidden in her eyes, her acting would be almost flawless.Hannah couldn't help but take a closer look, feeling slightly shocked at the change.It seemed that Misty didn't come out of these setbacks empty-handed.She had read the room and swiftly adjusted her emotions.It was completely different from her usual fiery temperament from before. She was a completely different person.Misty Emerson had grown up!No wonder she was one of the protagonists in the book and one of the favored ones in this world.The setbacks that might be considered a disaster by others couldn't completely suppress her. On the contrary, they made her more courageous and she knew how to seize the opportunity to get back up again.She was like an indestructible cockroach. Even when it seemed she couldn't afford to stir up trouble, she would emerge and continue to disgust people.Was this what it meant to be a female l
Misty could only clench her fists in frustration.What did Hannah mean?Was she apologizing?How could she say such sarcastic words as if nothing had happened?"Do you think you can defeat me like this?"Misty was furious but she still had a smile on her face. Her eyes were full of resentment as she coldly said, "Hannah Emerson, you're dreaming."Hannah raised an eyebrow at her.She never really cared how Misty lived her life.While Misty had a role in the tragedy of her previous life, it wasn't solely caused by her.When she was reborn, she didn't even bother to blame the main culprits, Nigel and Catherine.Everyone had their choices, and Hannah never considered Misty as her enemy.However …The smugness in Misty's words was as if she had found a way to turn the tides. This bothered Hannah."Let me tell you—I'll never lose to you!"Misty triumphantly unlocked her phone and showed it to her.Misty couldn't hide her smile as she raised her chin and said, "Netizens are for
Misty was naturally pretty, but the angle and composition of the photo made her look exceptional.She could be described as stunning.Netizens were in an uproar at the photo."Is Misty really this pretty? Even without makeup, she looks stunning!""Is this Misty Emerson? Oh my god! I used to think she was just average, but now I'm really impressed by her looks.""Misty looked so gentle … She's like an angel.""I'm in tears. This is too beautiful! The girl's eyes are so pretty!""Is this for show? Is she trying to whitewash her image?""Could you please check how much Misty donated in goods and money? Why don't you try doing charity like this?""I'm from the countryside. I want to say that I'm really grateful to Ms. Emerson regardless of whether it's for show or not. If more people can show off like Ms. Emerson, the children from the countryside will surely benefit from it."There were still people accusing Misty of faking, and they continued to insult her.However, more peopl
Misty bit her lips. She was in a dilemma."Ms. Emerson is indeed arrogant."A voice with a hint of coldness suddenly sounded.Connor was exuding a dangerous and unruly aura, and his gaze toward Hannah was particularly presumptuous. "How dare you threaten my woman?""Your woman?"Hannah couldn't help but laugh, covering her mouth with one hand. "Sorry, I couldn't help it."She sincerely asked, "Mr. Richardson, you said that Ms. Emerson is your woman. Did she admit it? Does Mr. Garner know? Does Mr. Wilfare know?"She had never met someone being cuckolded so eagerly.Was Misty that irresistible?Or did Connor have some sort of fetish?Hannah looked at him with a surprised expression while shaking her head slightly with a meaningful look.Connor's gaze instantly turned cold. His face darkened as he slammed his fists on the table. "What do you mean by that?"Misty's face also turned unpleasant. It was like her last bit of modesty was being torn off of her.Her face turned pale
Hannah's eyes turned cold as she quickly bent down and turned, avoiding Connor's consecutive attacks.Fortunately, she was wearing a suit instead of a gown. This helped her move freely to protect herself.However, the sinister gleam of the knife made the semi-enclosed "birdcage" somewhat oppressive.Hannah was anxious and on her guard. She was afraid she might not be able to dodge one of the attacks.Misty was also frightened by the turn of events.This society was governed by the law. Even when enemies met, they would maintain a polite facade.Misty, who had a privileged upbringing and was always surrounded by glamorous and refined people, had never witnessed such a scene.She couldn't help but cover her mouth with both hands to prevent herself from screaming."Aren't you afraid of attracting others?"As she avoided the knife thrusting toward her, Hannah said in a cold voice, "Today's banquet is not an ordinary banquet. Are the Richardsons not afraid of leaving a bad impressi
