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
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
The blood that dripped on the white suit looked like a red rose blossoming in the snow."So, the blood of a ruthless person like you is also red."Hannah couldn't help but sneer. "It seems like you're not that different from others."Hannah wondered if he felt pain too.If he did, how could he be so cruel to others and commit such heinous crimes?It felt ridiculous.As someone who lurked in the darkness, Connor had mysophobia and dressed immaculately.While she was pondering, Connor's expression didn't change.He suddenly looked up, completely indifferent to the fact that he was bleeding, and stared intensely at Hannah."A person like me?"He laughed in a hoarse voice as he looked at her with a teasing expression. "Do you know me that well?"This was the second time tonight that he felt this strange feeling.It seemed that Hannah knew him exceptionally well.The Richardsons had just returned to the country, and he had not shown his face since returning. He just started soc
