"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
"Mom, you're hurting Cath."Nigel's tone was dry as he stepped forward to grasp Regina's wrist.His eyes were red when he choked, "Don't worry … Everything will be ok.""I … Sorry, I was confused."Seeing the tears lingering in her son's eyes, Regina suddenly let go, as if she was being scalded.With a pleading face, she whispered, "Cath, I have always treated you like my own daughter … Over the years, I've never treated you unfairly. Promise me that you will take care of Nigel and Lila."She sounded incredibly urgent.Seeing this, Hannah couldn't help but feel a little emotional.She still remembered the Regina of her previous life who was always arrogant and mean—always looking down on her, always mocking her.It's hard to imagine such a person in such a humbling moment. It was as if she was breaking her own spine.Was this maternal love?"I understand."Facing Regina's earnest gaze, Catherine paused. She was a little impatient and had a subtle sense of superiority.It s
Lila definitely looked pitiful.But so was Hannah who had suffered injustice and even death in her previous life.Did anyone ever feel sorry for her?She lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, "It was just their comeuppance."She didn't say more and just turned around to leave while waving her hand.Her figure moved gracefully and gradually faded from their vision.Nigel watched her continuously, fixing his gaze on her retreating back without blinking.Catherine was also watching.But jealousy and malice can be seen in her eyes. Eventually, a chilling smile formed on her face."She won't be proud for long," she murmured, not knowing if she was talking to herself or those around her.With some smugness, her voice turned soft and eerie as she said, "Does she think she has won? No, she will never surpass me."Since she managed to become Nigel's wife, she would continue to be successful in whatever she did.Hannah would never be able to win against her.Lila's face turned pale,
Slap!A crisp sound of a slap interrupted the argument.Holding her sore cheek, Lila couldn't believe what had just happened. She stared at her brother with wide eyes. Her brother whom she had always admired had just slapped her. She was bewildered by the sudden turn of events.Nigel was breathing heavily. The palm of his hand felt warm, and he became expressionless for a moment.Did he just hit Lila?He didn't know why, but at that moment, anger suddenly overwhelmed him, and his mind went blank.He acted impulsively without thinking."I …"His voice was dry as he pursed his lips, trying to explain. But he couldn't seem to find the words.He clenched his fist weakly.He couldn't even believe it himself.Lila was younger than him by two years, and they grew up together in the house.They lived a privileged life filled with love from their parents, which resulted in very few arguments between them.He had always been the good brother—always taking care of and indulging his s
The smile on Misty's face became profound."What a coincidence."She took the initiative to speak and said affectionately, "Hannah, what are you doing here? I remember the Winchester residence is not in this neighborhood, right?"The livestream cameras followed by turning the lens in her direction."Wow! It's Ms. Hannah!""Ms. Hannah looks so beautiful! Even if this is just an accidental appearance, she still looks flawless!""Wow, they actually ran into Ms. Hannah.""Ms. Hannah, it's been a long time since we last saw you. Please post some photos!""This is the livestream of the angelic Misty, you shouldn't be discussing other people.""Why is Ms. Hannah everywhere? Is she trying to ride on Misty's popularity?"The moment Hannah appeared, the comments section became lively.There were so many comments that no one could read it in time.Misty almost lost control of her facial expression. Her hands were gripping her skirt tightly to prevent herself from losing composure in f
"Hannah, how could you say that?"Misty almost exploded in anger when she was exposed by Hannah for pretending to apologize.However, she still showed an innocent face and said in a wounded tone, "It seems that your misunderstanding of me is too big. No matter what I did, it was wrong.""I don't have time to act with you."Hannah frowned. Her hands were feeling itchy for a slap.She said coldly, "Get out of my way."They happened to block the small path she had to pass through.However, Misty refused to let her go just like this.She couldn't accept the fact that she lost again this time.No matter what, she had to tear off Hannah's mask and let her experience the despair of being mocked and violently criticized by netizens."Hannah, you haven't said the reason you're here."She adjusted her emotions and asked curiously while smiling innocently, "Are you here to see a friend? But aren't you not familiar with people within this circle, right?"As she spoke, she explained to
"I was invited by Mr. Nicholl to assess Moore Group's assets."When Darren turned toward Hannah, his domineering aura was softened. He looked like a tamed lion.He explained while looking at her seriously, "Mr. Nicholl went into the company. I saw your driver near the entrance to the neighborhood, so I came to find you."Were they liquidating Moore Group?Thinking about Project Z that had just begun, Hannah's eyes showed a hint of understanding.The return on investment for Project Z was undoubtedly lucrative. Otherwise, it wouldn't have made Gregory lose his mind.However, the initial investment was too large. With Gregory as an example, those mid-sized companies didn't dare take the risk, while those capable were unwilling to get involved in the trouble.Moreover, they looked at Project Z as ominous, as it had caused a company to go bankrupt.Prescott Group was a large corporation, and Darren, who had always been indifferent to such things, was the best candidate to take over
Of course, Misty knew how the netizens would react.She knew it all too well.It was precisely because she knew that she was particularly looking forward to this moment.Taking advantage of the camera behind her, her lips formed a smile, not bothering to conceal her maliciousness."Get lost!"Before Hannah could speak, Darren suddenly turned around. His dark eyes were filled with coldness and hostility.Misty couldn't help but tremble.Her eyes turned slightly red, and she showed an innocent expression, "Mr. Winchester, what do you mean?"She really hated Hannah to the core as her fists at her side clenched tightly. She was filled with jealousy and unwillingness.She couldn't understand.Why would he be so affectionate and gentle toward Hannah but unable to even spare a glance at others?Why did he still appear so outstanding, despite his injuries and drastic change in temperament?When she thought that he was the man she had given up and the man that she abandoned, she fel
