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.

    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.

    That's impossible!Connor widened his eyes. He didn't realize he was kneeling on the ground until he felt the knife being pressed against his neck.How could this happen?He had been trained by his family since childhood and had engaged in countless life-and-death situations. He was the most outstanding heir to the Richardsons.But now, he was knocked down by a woman and had his weapon taken away.This completely shattered his pride and confidence. His face became blank."Connor!"Misty didn't expect that the fierce Connor would actually fall.She opened her mouth to scream but was immediately silenced by a hard slap from Hannah."If I were you, I'd keep my mouth shut."Hannah's expression was icy, and her eyes looked fierce.She mockingly said, "You were covering your mouth when I was being attacked, so you'd better stay silent now as well."Misty had stayed on the side and not made any sound to avoid attracting attention when Connor had had the upper hand earlier.Now sh

    Darren didn't let her off easily in the end.  Darren, being in his prime years, had maintained his purity and had never been involved with other women.   This was a great feat considering that Darren had managed to maintain his purity after being with her all this time. Having just celebrated their marriage, he had finally enjoyed some moments of satisfaction, only to face the complication with Erica.  Lately, Hannah had been in low spirits. Darren wouldn't be so brutish as to insist on intimate matters with her when she was in such an emotional state. He had to suppress his desires.However, now she took the initiative to seduce him. For a man who had finally given in to his desires, it wasn't so easy to let go.  Demonstrating his unyielding nature, Darren showed Hannah that he was not to be trifled with. Carefully timing his actions, he eventually released her.  Hannah, now lying on the bed, had a gentle gaze with a faint blush on her face. Her cheeks rested on the pillo

    Even with their current financial difficulties, the atmosphere between them remained harmonious and warm.The smile in Hannah's eyes deepened a bit.Finding her uncle was undoubtedly a joyous event for her. After all, they hadn't been in contact for so many years, and confirming that Elvis' family members were reasonable and good people made her even happier."Grandma has never given up looking for you all these years, Uncle Elvis."Hannah briefly shared her thoughts. "I thought of taking you and Lilian to see Grandma directly to prevent her from overthinking.""Of course! Of course!"Jennifer laughed and agreed. She said, "If it weren't for my poor health and being hospitalized, I would have gone to see her too."Things were settled.Jennifer still had one more dialysis session in the coming days. Thus, their meeting was scheduled three days later.Hannah and Darren didn't stay much longer. After arranging for Jennifer to move to a single room, they left.Before they took

    Jennifee hadn't looked before, but as soon as she did, she was almost startled.Under the shock, she even failed to contain her voice and exclaimed in surprise, "Elvis?"  Her husband, who rarely got involved in affairs and was always practical, was now standing up excitedly. His eyes were fixed tightly on the two entering the room.  He seemed as though he was about to pounce on those people.  Lilian was also stunned. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Elvis' hand, her face carrying a hint of embarrassment.  She lowered her voice desperately and said, "Dad, what are you doing?"  She sensed that the eyes of the entire ward had turned their way under Jennifer's exclamation.  The extraordinarily good-looking couple also looked over.  Her cheeks turned red. She felt both nervous and embarrassed. She forcefully tugged on Elvis' hand and whispered urgently, "Dad, hurry up and sit down."  However, Elvis not only didn't sit down, but he took a step forward and called out

    At Hopeldon's top hospital, Elvis sat by the bedside as he watched the summer breeze rustle through the leaves outside the window. A look of realization crossed his face.  "Mom, I bought your favorite food."Just then, a clear and lively voice rang out.  A girl with twin tails briskly entered the ward while carrying a meal with a smile on her face. "I was lucky to find discounted meat. I bought some. Mom, you have to eat more."  The pale woman on the bed smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay, I'll eat more."  After that, Jennifer noticed that Elvis, sitting on the side, was still staring blankly out of the window while lost in thought.  Jennifer frowned. She said softly, "Elvis, set up the table. It's time for lunch. Elvis. Elvis?"  "Huh?"Elvis suddenly snapped out of his reverie. Noticing both his wife and daughter looking at him, he forced a smile.  He rubbed his hands and stood up. "Lilian, did you bring the food back already? Let's have lunch then!"    "Dad, what ha

    She gently touched the scars on her face through the veil and then, with a sweet smile, began typing on the keyboard. "It would be great if I could help you. I'll be waiting for you to marry me!"As she replied to the message, her phone vibrated again. Robert asked with concern, "How did you get hold of these documents? Are you in any danger? Your safety is the most important thing!"Seeing his genuine concern, Misty felt even more convinced that her choice was right. The smile on her face seemed impossible to fade.  She had done her research lately. Cosmetic surgery here was not particularly advanced, and her facial scars wouldn't be perfectly repaired even with surgery. Meanwhile, Arovia was renowned for its excellent plastic surgery industry. Although dealing with her facial scars would be troublesome, new technology could provide a complete recovery. The only deterrent was the daunting cost.  No matter how regretful Matthew might feel, he wouldn't spend such a large s

    She was even draped in a thin windbreaker that covered her from head to toe.Despite the light and thin fabric, it was an autumn windbreaker. Wearing it seemed unsuitable for the current season. "The car and the house both have air conditioning. How could I get heatstroke?" Misty's smile widened.    Her fingers entwined around the belt of the windbreaker at her waist and gently pulled it twice. She spoke softly, "But since you want to see what's inside, I'll take it off, okay?"  Following that, she pulled off her belt before Cedric.  The fabric of the windbreaker was silky. After the belt came off, she shuddered, and the windbreaker slipped down from her shoulders.  She wore a semi-sheer dress that draped over her skin, gently showcasing the contours of her figure in a subtle and alluring way.  Then, she raised her hand and took off her hat. Her long hair was neatly arranged behind her head, revealing her forehead and a pair of seemingly innocent eyes.  Below her eye

    Just as she wished, Cedric felt an immediate dryness in his mouth.  As the male protagonist in the book, he had indeed lived a smooth life without experiencing many setbacks.He was always the object of admiration by others since he was young.When had he ever bowed his head to anyone?  Even when he failed in the competition for the heir of Garner Group, he remained the second young master of the company. No one dared to say much in front of him.  Only Diana was different.Since that day, Diana had suddenly become completely different.  The way she looked at him no longer held admiration, but instead, it was cold, as if she was scrutinizing him.  Although she still lived with him and would occasionally show him her gentle side, that sense of discordance grew stronger.  The previous Diana used to be completely submissive to him. She would believe and actively solve all his problems.  But now?He seemed to have become a plaything in her hands.He was summoned at will a

He wiped his face in silence before saying, "Of course, no problem. Not only did you guys just help me, but finding my family has also been a long-standing wish of mine. I'm willing to cooperate with whatever you need me to do."  He hesitated for a moment and then added in a low voice, "I believe your wife's grandmother is really old, am I right? From what you just said, it seems her health is not great. Maybe we shouldn't disturb her before getting the results."  He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm in my prime.

    Hannah didn't expect him to also have felt a sense of familiarity.Upon hearing that, she felt her heart skip a beat, feeling like the truth was gradually coming to the surface.She actually looked a lot like Eleanor.If the middle-aged man was really her uncle, even if he had been lost since childhood, wouldn't he still have memories of his biological sister's appearance?"May I ask if you are a native of Hopeldon? Were you born here?"She pursed her lips, staring at him before asking in rapid succession, "Who else is in your family? Are your parents still alive?"She asked many questions in one breath, sounding urgent and nervous.For someone she had only met for the second time, asking such questions seemed overly intrusive and might make people uncomfortable.But she couldn't care less now.Finding her uncle had been her grandmother's wish for many years.As she grew older, Hannah didn't want her to have any regrets in this life.The middle-aged man was also a little sur
