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,
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 was just a poor guy with nothing but debt to his name.He had tried to recover his past memories and find his roots.He had been searching for decades, and even after getting married and having a daughter, he continued searching while struggling for a living.He never expected that just when he was gradually forgetting about this matter, life would suddenly take a new turn.This seemed a bit too dramatic. 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. Even if the outcome disappoints me, it's fine. But old people
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
