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
When would they be the ones who could casually say that five million was merely a bit of pocket money?Hannah chuckled softly but didn't refuse. With her investment experience in her past life alongside the success of Dennis' movie, she was now quite wealthy. Although ten million wasn't a small amount, it didn't seem that big of a deal to her."Grandma used to say that unexpected windfalls should be spent as soon as possible."She pursed her lips, opened her Venmo app, and showed her phone to Nigel. "Mr. Moore, you can just transfer it to the foundation that I established, Starlight Foundation. Consider it a good deed."She wasn't short of money. Even if she were, she had no desire to tap into Nigel's wealth.Therefore, she decided to just donate the money she'd won to the foundation where it could become a more meaningful endeavor and help more people. She made that decision without any hesitation. This caused the jealousy that everyone felt for her to instantly fade aw
Nigel couldn't help saying sarcastically, "You bunch of ass-kissers. Do you think he will entertain you all? They won't even consider insignificant people like us. They only have eyes for prestigious families like the Winchesters."Emily exchanged glances with the rest. A hint of anger flashed across her eyes.It was up to them to admire Hannah. How could Nigel call them ass-kissers?Moreover, they were not fools.Hannah always treated them politely and equally. She was very approachable.She doesn't treat them differently just because Nigel was the one who brought her here.Her generosity was a clear contrast to the sharp-tongued Nigel."Even if we're ass-kissers, it's our own choice."Sophie and Nigel weren't close, to begin with. She directly retorted, "It's better than getting ignored after kissing someone's ass."Everybody knew each other in this circle.Did Nigel think Hannah would accept him after he confessed at the engagement banquet?"Sophie, what do you mean?"Ni
Seemingly unsatisfied, Hannah lightly opened her lips and sensually bit his thin ones.A slight pain and ticklish sensation spread across Darren's lips."I was too focused when shooting arrows."Darren couldn't help raising his hand and grabbing her slender waist. Hannah felt so soft.He felt a bit regretful.Past experiences had ingrained in him the habit of focusing solely on the target when a weapon was in his hand.Even in such a light-hearted competition with a predetermined outcome, he still gave it his all.Hence, he didn't pay attention to her at all.Darren thought that Hannah's gaze when she stared at him must have been beautiful, alluring, and stunning.Hannah never failed to stir his heart whenever she focused on him. It made his blood boil and his heart race.He wished he could lock her up so that he would be the only person in her heart.Even without seeing it firsthand, just hearing her describe it made his heart pound."But I saw you shooting arrows, too."
The fish in Corbay Resort were plump and sluggish.Despite all the noise the siblings made, Hannah and Darren still managed to catch several big fish.During dinner, they sent the fish they caught to the kitchen and had them cooked. It was fresh and delicious.This resort not only had a great environment, but the chef's cooking was also excellent. There were many fun activities to do there.No wonder it was popular among the upper-class circles in Hopeldon.As the day came to an end and the sky darkened, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.Hannah had just finished bathing when she heard a knock on the door.She stood up and opened the door. Darren was standing there. He gently gazed at her. "Hannah, are you tired?""No. Do you have any plans?"Hannah shook her head, her eyes bright as she looked at him.This outing was not only enjoyable for Darren's younger siblings, but Hannah also felt relaxed, comfortable, and happy."Come with me."Joy flashed across Darren's gaz
Darren didn't want Hannah to go through any hardships. He would rather she remained forever young, delicate, and well-protected by his side. However, he knew that, unlike a flower that only bloomed in a greenhouse, she was resilient. She blossomed in all situations, no matter how harsh her environment was."Sometimes I think you're too capable. You can handle everything on your own." His voice was filled with laughter, but there was a hint of seriousness. "I hope you won't keep a strong front when you're with me. Sometimes, you can be spoiled and willful. As my wife, you don't need to do or endure anything. All you have to do is wait for me to spoil you."She could be unreasonable, coquettish, and pretentious.He had long been her henpecked husband, crawling at her feet and ever ready to offer her everything.He said these words without intentionally creating a romantic atmosphere, nor did he try to move her.He walked on the winding mountain road, analyzing his thoughts witho
Hannah returned the kiss and smiled at him. "Good night, Mr. Winchester."Darren watched her slender figure disappear behind the door, and he felt a pang of longing.He had never felt time pass so slowly before.Soon, it would be over.Just then, the door to the next room suddenly opened.Naomi and Nina poked their heads out through the opening."Darren, you're back from your date with Hannah."Naomi lowered her voice and glanced furtively at Hannah's door. She smiled and asked, "How was it? Were the fireflies beautiful?"She had been listening for a while and had chosen this time on purpose!Hannah was shy, and she would be embarrassed if she knew they were waiting for her.However, Darren had thick skin!They would just ask Darren.Even if Darren was shy, it didn't matter. After all, they had long realized that Darren appeared cold and distant but had a broad mind. He would never hold grudges against his siblings."Why are you still awake?"Darren glanced at them indiff
