Suddenly, Nigel lifted his gaze and looked over. Hannah's expression remained indifferent. She didn't seem to notice that Nigel was studying her. She said casually, "Ten million isn't a small amount. I'd be heartbroken if I had to fork out that amount."Upon hearing her words, there was a distorted expression on Nigel's face. He was uncertain when their positions seemed to have been reversed. The woman who had once lived in poverty in the slums could now casually say such words.On the other hand, he, who had once lived comfortably and approached her with the curiosity of experiencing life, couldn't even afford to cash out one million. In the past, Nigel used to disdain the act of acting rich when one was actually poor. He found it an embarrassment. Yet, he was now the one in that position. Clutching his fist, Nigel couldn't seem to find the words to say. He felt as if he was standing at a crossroads. If he lost, that ten million would worsen the already challenging p
Nigel's gaze wavered. He said sarcastically, "It's a little too early to go swanking about now. You're only going to end up humiliating yourself when you lose later.""So, you think that I'm swanking about just because I said that I would win?"Hannah remained indifferent. She looked at Nigel casually and chuckled before saying, "It seems as if you have a deep understanding of this matter. I presume that you're speaking from experience?"Before the golf competition, he had also spoken so arrogantly and repeatedly tried to persuade Hannah to give up on the competition. He acted as if he was destined to be the winner. So, did he feel humiliated now?Nigel's expression darkened. He sneered coldly and said, "Success breeds arrogance, but don't celebrate too soon. You only managed to win because I wasn't prepared just now."Did she really think that he would make the same mistake twice?Hannah wasn't bothered by his words. She shrugged and said, "So, how and what are we competing?
The stark contrast between the black-colored bow and arrow and the paleness of her fingertips created a captivating image.Furthermore, the sharp edges against her delicate skin further heightened the visual impact, creating a truly striking scene. The combination of her delicate appearance and the bow and arrow was a completely unexpected pairing. Yet, the pairing didn't look weird together. Instead, it caused those who witnessed this scene to feel a sudden surge of adrenaline. Many people who dared not stare directly at Hannah couldn't help but steal glances at her. Bethany placed her hands against her chest and couldn't help but mutter, "Hannah is so beautiful!"She was truly stunning. Her boldness and charm seemed appealing to everyone. No one could resist her.Nigel sneered coldly. "What's the use of posing around? No matter how good you look, it's not going to gain you any points!"He couldn't help but mock her. It wasn't as if the arrow would obediently fly tow
There was a defeated expression on Nigel's face as he swallowed hard. There was an uneasy feeling in his heart. An icy chill enveloped his entire body.He found the public display of affection between Hannah and Darren disturbing."Nice try, Mr. Moore."Hannah casually glanced toward Nigel with a hint of mockery in her eyes. "It seems that I've won this round.""Don't celebrate too soon."Nigel could clearly feel that his hands were shaking. His mind went blank, and he dared not imagine what would happen next. He could only grit his teeth and reply stubbornly, "Mr. Winchester hasn't even played yet."Nigel had always been strong in sports. He was a prominent figure in university and had achieved great results in various competitions. Therefore, he found it impossible that he would lose to both Hannah and Darren. He was certain that Darren couldn't outperform him. He repeatedly comforted himself. Darren's expression remained calm as he bent down to pick up the bow and
The crowd was left stunned. Hannah's smile was alluring. Her voice carried a teasing tone. "This is my good luck kiss to you, Mr. Winchester."Everyone in Hopeldon's upper-class society knew that Darren was someone who showed no emotions, was always calm, and seemed very distant. Yet, at this very moment, Darren's dark eyes were filled with intense emotion. It seemed as if someone had just ignited a fire within him. Darren lifted his hands to touch his lips which still had some lingering warmth from her kiss. His gaze was filled with a burning desire. A proud smile appeared on his lips. A good luck kiss?Darren felt as if this boring competition had suddenly become interesting. He even wished that there could be a few more rounds. He loved Hannah's confident and charming demeanor. His heart warmed when he saw how she wasn't afraid of showing her affection for him in public. The sweet feeling in his heart was intoxicating; It made him want more.He would willingly go
How was this even fair?It was impossible to win against them!"Impossible! You're lying!"Despite catching a glimpse of the results, Nigel couldn't help but shout, "How is it possible to hit the bullseye with every shot? Are you just making up the results because he's from Winchester Group?"Nigel was convinced that the wealthy young man had intentionally announced a made-up result as he was afraid of offending Darren. Upon hearing Nigel's accusation, the wealthy young man was displeased. "The results are right here. Take a look at it yourself."He rolled his eyes and continued angrily, "If you don't trust the scores that I announced, come see for yourself!"Despite his irritated tone, Nigel was still full of doubt and disbelief. He couldn't care less about what the wealthy young man thought and rushed over to study the target carefully. Each arrow had pierced the bullseye and formed a cluster at the center. All ten arrows encircled the bullseye, creating a perfectly symme
What a clever girl.Hannah couldn't help but look at Emily approvingly. Initially, she had just planned to start up a conversation with Emily as an excuse to remind those who were present about the current situation that Moore Group was facing. After all, a large reason for the crisis that Moore Group was facing was because of her.It was about time that the Moores learned their lesson. They deserved it. However, these people present right now didn't deserve to pay a price for them. It had nothing to do with them.They shouldn't be manipulated and forcefully dragged into this mess. Hannah didn't expect Emily to be so observant. She had directly pointed out the recent rumors about Moore Group receiving investments. Coming from her, these words seemed even more effective than if Hannah had said them herself. Kaden's gaze flickered and landed on Emily. He pursed his lips. "Has Moore Group managed to secure funding already?"He deliberately displayed a surprised expressio
If it wasn't because he was facing financial difficulties, Nigel would never have asked Catherine for money. "Are you also thinking what everyone else is, that Moore Group is on the verge of collapsing?"He continued to question her with a fierce demeanor, "The most important task at hand now is Project Z. Once the project is completed, I'll repay you double! Are you satisfied now?"Despite Nigel being the one in need of financial assistance, he still kept a stern front. He insisted that others comply with his request as if he always held the moral high ground. Catherine pursed her lips, and her voice softened, "Nigel, you know that I don't mean it that way. I'm just worried about you …"Her eyes were red as she gently caressed her baby bump. She attempted to convince him using a gentler approach. "You know that I love you … You're hurting my feelings when you say such words.""Aren't you also hurting mine when you ask such questions?" Nigel retorted coldly. However, realizin
