"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
Darren, a man as dangerous and powerful as a demon, just held Hannah's hand in his.His handsome and perfect face lowered slightly, and his eyes immediately softened when he looked at Hannah, becoming gentle and harmless."If you have any objections, you can directly come to me."He confidently addressed Misty with undisguised protectiveness. "I will take responsibility for everything Hannah has done."His words warmed Hannah's heart.Both she and Darren were intelligent people. They were well aware of the potential consequences of their words today in the eyes of those with ulterior motives.As the CEO of Winchester Group and for the sake of the family's reputation, he should be paying more attention to his public image.But he didn't hesitate in the slightest, nor did he think of the interests of the company and family. He decided to shield her from everything that might come her way.It was as if no matter what shocking decision she made, even if it went against the entire w
Darren did everything for Hannah.He felt helpless when it came to her. He looked at her and raised his hand to touch her hair gently, "No one's allowed to bully you.""I know you are concerned about me and wanted to protect me."The smile on her face grew wider.Hannah felt that even if it was now summer, the warmth in her heartfelt gentle like spring.The world felt cold to her. Life had given her too many hardships, and fate had bestowed upon her too much bitterness.However, Darren was like the sun, brightening her world and warming her up, allowing her to enjoy life.She said smilingly, "But I don't care about anything at all. As long as you're by my side, I'm very happy."What once made her sad could no longer harm her.What she once longed for would not stir anything up in her heart.After coming to her present life, she had felt more precious emotions and had someone she wanted to love more.All the sadness and pain, coldness, and helplessness had been left behind.
Hannah rolled down the car window and looked over with a smile.Both men looked back at her simultaneously.Darren's gaze instantly softened, his lips involuntarily forming a smile.Fabian hesitated slightly. His gaze subtly swept over the couple without them realizing. He then said, "Ms. Emerson.""Mr. Nicholl."Hannah nodded and smiled lightly. "If you're done with things, can I steal Mr. Winchester away?""Of course. Thank you, Mr. Winchester."Fabian pressed his lips and looked at Hannah with his light brown eyes meaningfully before saying, "Ms. Emerson, you're quite the tactician. But I hope that you know when you stare into an abyss, the abyss stares back at you."He clearly implied that he knew Hannah had something to do with the Moores' bankruptcy.But what was his purpose in saying that?Was it a warning? Was it dissatisfaction?Hannah furrowed her brows slightly as she looked at him. "I am confident that my methods were all legal and reasonable. Even if an investig
The unpleasantness caused by Fabian's warning was not gone.Hannah felt that if she said anything else, it would seem like she was bullying him.He was too upright and straightforward—always acting according to his principles.People had always said that people like Fabian could be easily deceived, but Hannah didn't want to do that to him.The smile on her face became more genuine as she let down her guard against him.She smiled brightly and said, "Mr. Nicholl, rest assured. I know what to do and what not to do. So, that day will never come."This time, her tone was much more sincere.It seemed like a serious commitment. It was as if she were assuring him that she would never cross the line.So, Fabian's expression softened even more, and a hint of amusement could be seen in his eyes.Darren's face darkened.He clenched his fists and glared coldly at Fabian before saying, "Mr. Nicholl, you must be busy. We won't take up your time. Goodbye."Without making a sound, he subtly
Darren's domineering aura made the driver fall silent.He didn't even dare to sneak a glance at the rearview mirror.Sensing the oppressing atmosphere in the car, Hannah didn't feel scared. Instead, she found it amusing.She pressed a button to raise the partition between the rear and front compartments.Darren looked at her calmly and said in a low voice, "Hannah, what are you doing? What are you afraid to let the driver hear about?"He had always been gentle and indulgent toward her. He was always afraid of upsetting her with the wrong words.This was the first time he'd spoken to her so harshly.And there was a hint of grievance in his eyes. But he was not fierce in any way. He looked like an aggrieved large dog, acting arrogant yet coquettish.It totally melted Hannah's heart.She laughed lightly with her elbow resting on the window edge.She looked over gracefully and lazily at him with a teasing glint in her eyes. "I'm not afraid of what the driver will hear. I'm afra
As it was still early in the day, Darren and Hannah didn't return home.Hannah still had a small smile on her face as she returned to her seat. She was still nudging Darren's fingers."Where are we going?"Darren had forgotten to tell the driver where to go as he was caught up in jealousy earlier.Now, with the soundproof partition raised, the stern man leaned back in his seat, showing a rare hint of laziness.He allowed her to keep touching his hand and tilted his head to look at her.After the driver left the neighborhood, he purposefully turned onto an unfamiliar road.Clearly, he had received instructions in advance.Hannah chuckled lightly, "I'm bringing you to see the aftermath of today's event."She looked quite interested as she smiled widely.Her naturally plump lips looked seductive when she smiled.She looked particularly charming as she pressed a finger on her lips when she was contemplating something.Darren looked confused.Looking at her gestures, his Adam's
