Darren's eyes flickered.Just at that moment, Naomi suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "It's time!"The laptops were fully charged, connected to the Internet, and placed on the living room table.With her shout, Naomi and Nina quickly occupied a laptop. Their fingers entered the exam numbers they had memorized in an instant, and they started to check the scores.Hannah, as one of the candidates, just leaned against the couch with a content smile, watching their antics as if she were not involved.At that moment, influenced by the emotions of his sisters, Kaden found his lips and mouth somewhat dry. He unconsciously licked his parched lips and quietly clenched his fists.Naomi and Nina worked together to search for the scores. They cheered simultaneously the moment they saw it."Kaden, you scored 683! You're amazing!"Naomi pounced on her brother, rubbing his cheeks forcefully.She jumped and shouted to release her joy and excitement, "683 points! That's just fantastic!"Even those
Looking at the comments under her post, Misty smirked with a hint of mocking coldness in her eyes.She just couldn't believe that Hannah could achieve any good results.Hannah was indeed intelligent and talented. She also progressed rapidly in her studies.So what?She didn't even finish college and took several years off before resuming her studies. Even if she joined Cromer Academy, it was only for half a year. How could she possibly achieve anything extraordinary?Misty's post reminded the netizens to look out for Hannah's results.With a malicious intent in her eyes, Misty revealed a sinister smile."How are the paid posters I asked you to hire?"Tilting her chin upward, she continued to smirk maliciously. "Have them go to Winchester Group's official account to sway the public opinion. I want to make Hannah Emerson fall hard.""Everything's ready."Ionna tightened her grip on her phone, showing a hint of hesitation on her face as she whispered, "Ms. Emerson, we can't reac
Darren's proposal to eat out naturally received unanimous agreement.It was always a good idea to have a feast to celebrate good news.After changing their clothes, they went out together to the place they had booked in advance.They didn't invite other people and simply gathered as a family to celebrate."Would you like us to organize a banquet for you later?"There was a hint of a smile in Darren's eyes.He had had a couple of drinks, and while his face showed no difference, his eyes which always had a cold gleam, were now dazzling.The small smile on his lips remained unchanged as he said warmly, "This is such a significant event for our family, we should invite everyone to celebrate together.""No, there's no need to do that I think."Kaden's eyes were sparkling.He had finished the college entrance exam and could be considered an adult.So, he was allowed to drink some wine during meals.With a slight blush on his youthful cheeks, and his curly hair making him appear p
Hannah never thought that she would be someone who cared about receiving acknowledgment from others. She believed that some things could go unspoken. Perhaps she just thought that whether or not she received such acknowledgment made no difference to her at all. For example, she was well aware that Darren would definitely be happy for her and proud of her. This applied to Molly and the rest of the Winchester siblings. Therefore, she believed that there was no difference whether or not Darren congratulated her. Yet, when she heard Darren's low and genuine voice echo in her ears, she couldn't help but feel her heart race. It felt as if there were a burst of fireworks in her mind from the joy and exhilaration she felt. Hannah was stunned on the spot. She felt a flutter of happiness in her heart. "Why do you seem stunned, Hannah?"Hannah's eyes had widened, and she was looking at Darren with a blank face. Darren couldn't help but find Hannah's expression adorable. He couldn
"Hannah."Misty bit her lips and hid herself behind Robert as if she had just been bullied.She said in a pitiful tone, "It's been a while since we last met."She seemed to be portraying herself as the victim.There was a flash across Hannah's eyes. Hannah was already quite tall. Nevertheless, with her high heels, she seemed much taller than Misty, who only wore low heels.This caused Hannah to have to lower her posture slightly in order to meet Misty's eyes. Hannah raised her hand to lift Misty's cheeks. She said with a smirk, "Ms. Misty, you really have no shame.""What… What do you mean?"A hint of darkness flashed across Misty's eyes, and she gritted her teeth tightly. She lifted her face slightly to look at Hannah. Her gaze carried a hint of resentment, yet her voice was trembling. She continued pitifully, "Hannah, have I offended you in any way?"Picking up on Misty's act, Hannah glanced thoughtfully at Robert, who was standing beside Misty. Hannah couldn't he
Upon hearing Robert's words, a touched expression appeared on Misty's face. There was an affectionate look in her eyes when her gaze met Robert's. She called out to him in a gentle voice, "Robert…"She knew that Robert loved her most. They were simply two people in love. What was so wrong with that?"Hannah, don't bother listening to this nonsense."Just then, Darren raised his hands and covered Hannah's ears with his palms. He said calmly, "We just finished our meal. Hearing such words might make you feel nauseous."As he spoke, he frowned slightly. It seemed as if he was tempted to cover her eyes to prevent her from witnessing such an unpleasant scene. Hannah almost burst into laughter on the spot. It was the first time she realized how possessive Darren could be. Without even having to look, she knew that Misty and Robert could no longer continue with their lovey-dovey act. They weren't deaf; how could they not hear Darren's words?Their expression had turned rath
"Robert, there's no need to explain further."Misty looked at him with a touched expression. She bit her lip and had a heartbroken expression on her face. She continued to say through sobs, "No matter what you say, Hannah's not going to believe it. I've always liked her, but she just seems to dislike me… Forget it."She lowered her head in sorrow and said, "I know that Hannah's jealous that I was able to grow up by Dad's side. But that wasn't something I had a say in, and I couldn't control Dad's thoughts… "Since Hannah's not willing to forgive me, then forget it. Perhaps we're just destined not to have a sisterly bond."Hannah fell silent for a moment. "I'm jealous of you?"A smirk appeared on Hannah's face yet there was not a hint of joy in her eyes. She had never once been jealous of Misty, not even in her past life. Her past life had been utter misery. Therefore, she never had the chance to come into direct contact with Misty and had only seen her from a distance.
Smack!"Since you haven't seemed to learn your lesson, I'll make sure you do this time."Hannah slapped Misty once again and said coldly, "Most people tend to learn their lesson from the pain of past experiences. No matter how foolish you may be, I'm sure you can learn from that as well, right?"Smack!"Let me make one more thing clear, don't you dare bring up my mother. You're not worthy of that."With a final warning, Hannah lifted her hands and pushed Misty's shoulders forcefully. Losing her balance, Misty fell to the ground. The impact of the cold and hard floor was quite painful. "Misty, you're so foolish."Hannah looked down on Misty and sneered coldly, "What benefits do you get out of provoking me? Aren't you aware that I'm extremely skilled at fighting."With that, Hannah clenched her fists tightly, causing a crack to sound from her knuckles. "Misty, are you alright? Are you hurt?"Stunned by the unexpected turn of events, Robert finally regained his senses. H
