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.

    "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,

    Unexpectedly, Andrew rushed in out of nowhere and viciously tried to hit Sam with a steel pipe. His mediocre skills were nothing compared to Sam's. As such, Andrew was hit on the head and back. He felt dizzy and collapsed on the floor. His forehead was wet. When he touched it, he saw sticky blood on his hands. As Hannah was able to defeat the other people in the meantime, her gaze hardened when she saw Sam. Then, she raised the steel pipe with all her strength. She lunged at him.Sam didn't have enough strength to dodge, so the steel pipe hit him on the head. Soon, he fainted.  With a cold expression, Hannah hit him on the back of the neck with her pipe again. After making sure that he had really fainted, she helped Andrew up in concern. "Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"  "I probably have a concussion." Andrew's face was pale, as his head bled. He smiled bitterly. "I'm fine. The police will probably be here soon. Darren is also here, so you don't have to care abo

    Inch by inch, Darren examined her."I'm fine." Hannah flashed him a wide grin. "Look, I'm unscathed."Only after he confirmed that she was standing safely in front of him did he relax, and his gaze softened.It made him shudder when he thought about what would have happened had he arrived a little later. The knife would have plunged into her slender body, and blood would have spluttered from the opening. At this thought, he felt an overwhelming rush of negative emotions.Darren yanked Hannah into his arms, wrapping her in a tight embrace without a word.It was as though he wanted to enclose her entire being within his rib cage.The sudden jerk pulled at Hannah's wounds, and she felt like her ribs would shatter under his grip.However, she didn't react at all. She acted like she couldn't feel the pain; instead, her smile grew brighter.Her eyes were exceptionally gentle in the darkness of the night as she took a deep breath and hugged him back.Hannah had never felt so comfor

    At first, she was stiff all over. She wished she could bury her face in his chest so people wouldn't recognize her.As time passed, she gradually relaxed and allowed herself to lean against his chest. She thought to herself, "They can look all they want!"He was her husband anyway. What was there to be embarrassed about?The several fights from earlier had truly exhausted her, given that she missed lunch too. When the tension left her body, her muscles were beginning to ache. She felt light-headed.Fatigue overwhelmed her, and at that moment, she was grateful that she was in a wheelchair.As they exited the nightclub, Andrew popped up with a pair of familiar high heels. His forehead was covered with a simple layer of gauze. "Hannah! I brought you your shoes!"Thank goodness he had sharp eyes and quick hands. Even through his dizziness and nausea, he had instantly spotted Hannah's shoes and brought them with him.Otherwise, Hannah would have had to go barefoot!He was on cloud n

    "We did ..." The young policewoman averted her gaze. She couldn't bear it. She whispered softly, "Ms. Emerson, p-please accept my condolences. Ms. Begonia is ... gone."Stevenson was a ruthless and cunning bastard.Even though he couldn't confirm that Begonia played a part in Hannah's escape, he didn't let her off. Being the only person who had contact with Hannah, Begonia lost her life as he would rather kill her by mistake than let her go.She was but a frail, pitiful girl. The blade had journeyed from purity to crimson within seconds. A few seconds that didn't delay his escape.What it did do was allow him to vent his displeasure. Effortlessly.Hannah's knees almost buckled. Her legs turned to jelly."Be careful." Darren's warm and steady hand grasped hers, and he said gently, "The dead can't come back to life. Don't be too upset.""It ... it was because she helped me ..." Hannah's lips quivered, and a sense of helplessness surged within her. "Can I go see her?"The body w

    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 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.

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
