It was hard to master the piano, but it was easy to begin learning it. Even a young beginner could play "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" on the piano. As such, Nina's noisy playing was amusing to others. Kenneth's response was condemned publicly. Many people mentioned him under the post and asked, "What is this?"Moreover, his Twitter account was bombarded with mocking mentions. It was unpleasant to look at.Hannah's face darkened. There was knocking at her door. Darren had changed into casual wear and was sitting in his wheelchair. His hair was wet, and he looked at Hannah while holding his phone. "Did you see the Twitter incident?""Yes." Hannah nodded, not surprised by his actions. Meanwhile, Darren's siblings had listened to them secretly behind the door. After hearing her reply, they walked into the room one by one. Even Nina, who stayed alone on the third level, walked out from the shadows near the stairway. She seemed to be anxious and worried. "Hannah … I'm sor
In the slums, Hannah was the leader among the children. She was referred to as "Han" by everyone. In her previous life, she was Nigel's wife and was his right-hand man. As such, Hannah had always protected others and faced difficulties alone. She could only fight furiously to survive in the cruel world. Yet, in front of Darren, she could always be weak and fragile. Even if his legs didn't recover, Darren would protect her from any hardships. Instantly, Hannah felt many emotions at once. These emotions were unfamiliar to her, but she didn't hate it. Hannah lowered her eyes, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly. After a long while, she gently replied, "Okay." Suddenly, her phone vibrated again. It seemed that "Secrets of the Wealthy" had received much attention from mentioning her, so they kept digging out information from her private life. The account had swiftly posted on Twitter even though it was night. "In the latest news, is Mrs. Winchester a convict? I
Unexpectedly, the person involved in the scandal, Nina, was holding a livestream. The news quickly went viral, and many curious netizens immediately checked out her livestream at Hellington. Kaden first brought it up, and Nina agreed to it. In order to prove that she was accepted by Winnie due to her talent, Nina decided to play the piano live. This would tamp down the rumor surrounding her as well. It was just a simple incident. The people who made up those rumors were just relying on her childhood trauma since she was unable to play the piano in front of other people. The livestream was set up in her piano room. Under the warm lighting of a lamp, a bare-faced, skinny teenage girl was seen. Since she didn't apply any makeup on, her face looked refreshing, pretty, and calm. Nina seemed very gentle with her rosy lips and clear eyes. The girl looked just like a perfect and innocent female lead from a school romance novel. Upon looking at her face, many netizens could not
The post sounded lovestruck. At first, other netizens comforted him, for it was normal for the man to like such a brilliant woman like Hannah. Yet, some clever netizens gradually realized the true meaning of Nigel's post. "There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with his post at first, but compared to Mr. Sorsby's statement, it seems intentional. After the mess was cleared, he confessed. Indeed, Mr. Moore really didn't want to be made a scapegoat."This comment became viral. When everyone scolded Hannah, he didn't even stand up for her. Yet, when she was proven innocent, Nigel acted as if he was deeply in love with her. He seemed to have an ulterior motive. Nigel was still immersed in his pain and disappointment. But instead of being comforted, he was mocked by the netizens. Instantly, anger flared inside him. He grabbed his phone and threw it at the wall. "Argh!" he yelled. The sound of his phone shattering drowned out the sound of the door opening. Catherine and
"She's a damn flirt with many lovers." Regina gritted her teeth. "Hannah probably slept with a lot of men, so I wonder how many diseases she has now! Nigel is too innocent, so he was seduced by her.""Nigel is kind and naïve. It's normal that he hadn't met this kind of woman before," Catherine said.She bit her lip, then forced herself to speak. "I don't blame him. Mrs. Moore, Lila, don't be angry with him. He must be devastated now."Catherine's face was pale, and tears were brimming in his eyes. Yet, she was still trying to comfort them. It made her look delicate but determined. Lila felt bad for her. "Cath, you're too nice! Nigel must be blind, so he couldn't see how good you are.""He deserves to be sad." Regina was also angry. "Hannah is really vile. Nigel should learn from this so that no other woman can seduce him again.""Nigel isn't wrong for treating the relationship seriously. He must be upset. Mrs. Moore, Lila, please don't disturb him now." Catherine lowered her
"I've been looking forward to meeting you, Ms. Emerson." Chester laughed, then approached Hannah to shake her hand. Once he saw her, he thought Hannah was breathtaking. Chester continued, "Please come in."Meanwhile, Hannah frowned. She turned away impolitely and said, "I'm just looking around."There was arrogance and disrespect on her beautiful face. She seemed to be looking down on Chester, for she didn't even shake his hand. As such, she appeared to be a lady who was provided for by a wealthy man due to her appearance. However, her impoliteness didn't anger Chester. Instead, it satisfied him."It's great that she's ignorant!" Chester thought. Someone ignorant and pretty would be easy to trick. "Since she's a generous investor, it doesn't matter if she refuses to shake my hand," he thought."Mr. Wilfare." Riley approached Chester and shook his hand. He smiled. "I'm Ms. Emerson's assistant. Currently, I'm in charge of Starlight Investment Company.""Hello, Mr. Harrison.
"Dream on!" The muscular man chuckled loudly. "Start driving. Stevenson is waiting for us!"The van's doors closed, and the vehicle started moving. It quickly disappeared. …When Hannah awoke, it was already 3:00 pm. Meanwhile, the room she was trapped in was very dark. She could faintly hear deafening music outside. At the entrance, she heard someone lowering their voice and laughing. When Hannah straightened up, she realized her hands were tied behind her. Once her eyes became accustomed to the darkness, she sat in her previous position. Then, she kicked a glass table in front of the sofa. The beer bottles on it dropped onto the floor. There was the clear sound of them cracking. "Fuck!"The person guarding her room cursed and pushed the door open. Light streamed in from outside. Quickly, the lights were switched on. This was a room in Aurora Luxe Nightclub. The lights were soft, but Hannah could still see what was in front of her. Hannah didn't seem to pani
Hannah gently closed her eyes. After half an hour, the door was pushed open once more. Stevenson entered the room. He was dressed in a suit and carried prayer beads. The man smiled gently. "Hello, Mrs. Winchester." He didn't look like a ruthless boss of this nightclub. Instead, Stevenson seemed like a religious middle-aged man. When he smiled, he looked very kind. Yet, his gaze sometimes looked devilish, showing that he wasn't as nice as he seemed. "Stevenson." Hannah raised her head and looked at him. She smirked. "Why did you bring me here? Aren't you afraid of making enemies of the Winchesters, Stevenson?" Stevenson could only survive in the back alleys of West Lane. Given that he operates illegally, he wasn't a match against an influential family like the Winchesters. "We should've never crossed paths." Stevenson sighed, looking helpless. "After all, though you're pretty and grew up in the back alleys of West Lane, I've never touched you. Isn't that right,
