"Look! She couldn't even be bothered about you guys!"

Catherine was getting more and more riled up as she was reminded of how Hannah treated them.

Vicious like a viper, she spat, "You're so poor that you're asking money from me, your wife! Yet, you had the audacity to donate to her foundation. Do you really think you can afford to spend ten million dollars at the moment?"

This was incredibly ridiculous.

When Nigel got home, she forced him to let her go through his transaction records.

She almost blacked out when she saw Starlight Foundation was the recipient. Needless to say, she suffered a meltdown.

It was undoubtedly Hannah's fault for causing the Moore Group to end up in this miserable state.

Yet, not only did Nigel not resent her, but he even donated ten million dollars to her foundation. Even if there weren't any issues with the company, ten million dollars was still a big deal.

Catherine simply couldn't comprehend how Nigel was still ignoring her. Instead, he was fa

    Lila was utterly baffled by how despicable her family was. "You have to comfort Cath nonetheless. This isn't the time for conflicts."Regina's gaze turned cold as she said in a hushed tone, "After all, not only is she your wife, she's our last straw. Nigel, you can't afford to act upon your emotions now."Defiance was evident on Nigel's face. Yet, he couldn't bring himself to refuse when he saw the wishful look on her face, and the white streaks in Gregory's hair that had appeared over these few days. "Right, I'll do it."Feeling resigned, he brushed his hand over his face and went upstairs. Lila couldn't believe what was happening when she watched him go. "Dad, Mom, can't we sell our stocks and just stop right there?"She probed cautiously, "If we went bankrupt, though we might not be able to live a luxurious life anymore, we could still have some money left."Moore Group had a couple of bank loans that were yet to be paid. If they announced their bankruptcy and sold thei

    At this point, none of them bothered to tamper with the clothes. Catherine's anxiety peaked as her grip on the sheets tightened. Her lashes fluttered slightly as she shut her eyes closed. She knew what was going to happen next. Aside from the thrill and bashfulness, she was slightly worried. In a hushed tone, she said, "Nigel, we can't … I'm pregnant …""I asked the doctor. It's fine after the first three months."Nigel proceeded to drown her words with a kiss as he whispered, "Don't you miss me? I could barely hold it in."Catherine ceased her words immediately. She made herself vulnerable, so he could do whatever he wanted to her. Amidst the thrill, she was delighted by the thought that Nigel had been sleeping separately because he was worried that he couldn't hold back his temptations. He wanted the best for their baby. And she thought he didn't like her. It seemed like she was just overthinking. Being so deeply engrossed in the sex, Catherine failed to notice that th

    Erica's face was flushed just as she finished her sentence. Her forehead was beaded with anxious sweat. How she wished she could turn back time and swallow her words. She couldn't believe how dumb she was and how incapable of being eloquent enough to express her thoughts she was. Would Darren find her incredibly ridiculous?She already felt like a fool when she stood before him. In fact, she felt so ashamed. Yet, the more nervous she was, the more likely she was to fail. She couldn't even string her words properly. Erica pinched her thigh secretly. She pinched it hard, being so ruthless as if the excruciating pain could keep her standing. Though tears began to well up in her eyes, she finally mustered enough courage to not escape from them.She croaked in a strained voice, "I'm on break today, so I came to visit Grandma."Erica was extremely tense as she was pouring every single bit of her effort into preventing making a fool out of herself. Thus, she failed to notice th

    Molly's taut wrinkles relaxed as she laughed joyfully. "Of course, there's one for you, Darren!"She was the happiest in the world when she saw how close Hannah and Darren were to each other.Moreover, it didn't require much effort to weave a bracelet. She was already delighted that she could do something for them, and they needed it from her. "It's a yes from Grandma."Darren gave a light squeeze on Hannah's fingers as he smirked."I can't possibly refuse, can I?"Hannah glared at him. Just then, Erica emerged from the door. She had just managed to collect herself. The first thing she laid her eyes on was Darren beaming at Hannah as he gazed at her warmly. She felt like her eyes were stinging. Although she was already aware that he was unbothered by her existence, it still made her heart ache when she saw how differently he treated Hannah and her. Darren was always cold and distant to her. He was like a deity, and he would forever be out of her league. However, he

    Erica chuckled at what she said, as if she was laughing at a joke. Molly's gaze darkened as she couldn't help but say, "Since it's locked, there's no need to clean it. After all, you're working as a clerk, not a janitor—""Grandma," Hannah interrupted her calmly. Her tone was perfectly composed as she shook her head gently at Molly. Thus, Molly swallowed her displeasure and ceased her words. Erica didn't notice Molly's reaction. Maybe she was too nervous or alarmed to notice. Her hands were intertwined together, and she couldn't help herself from fumbling her fingers. As she fixated her gaze on the ground, she continued in a shrill voice, "It's fine, really! We usually just clean up whenever we can. I'm grateful to Ms. Emerson for giving me this chance, so I wanted to do as much as I can … I'm really happy when I get to clean."If she really meant her gratitude, why would she insist on going somewhere that obviously didn't welcome any visitors?

    Nigel's resentment toward Hannah sprouted from the mixed feelings he had developed for her after a series of events. Until now, it seemed like he had lost the right to resent her. She still stood where she was, perfectly distant from him. Her beauty was dazzling nonetheless. However, he was sinking into the abyss, growing even further from her. Back then, he thought he was her savior to free her from poverty. He showed up in her world, eager to play Cinderella with her as he took on the role of Prince Charming. Now, his dream was shattered to pieces. Only now did he realize she was never a frail, little flower who could only rely on someone else's rescue and affection. She never stood there waiting. Instead, she was fierce and resilient, like a thorned rose and a phoenix emerging from the flames. She was more like a flower who blossomed after the storm. Hannah was never his, and would never belong to him. She wouldn't be safely tucked under his wing. Instead, she woul

    "So, in order to get your hands on Moore Group, you hired people to burn my family to death when I wasn't around?"There was finally a shift in Timothy's expression. His eyes were heavy with agony as he glared at Gregory with bloodshot eyes. He lunged at him and grabbed him by the collar. "Gregory, you're a monster! How could you kill them for the sake of your own benefits?""So what?"It seemed like Gregory was in a frenzy. He didn't even bother to hide the secret anymore.He roared with laughter as he replied, "I won in the end! Moore Group's mine! It has always been mine from the beginning till the end!"Timothy found this situation to be incredibly amusing. Suddenly, he felt bored upon seeing Gregory's reaction. "Dad did intend to let me inherit the company because I was more talented than you. I was capable of making the company thrive better."He released Gregory as he stated in a calm, yet scornful tone, "But I refused.""What?"Gregory froze all of a sudden. He

    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.

    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.
