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
Darren turned his gaze toward Hannah and lifted his brows slightly. He asked, "Why did you sigh, Hannah?"Hannah lifted her gaze to meet his. The man in front of her was tall and slender. He exuded an intimidating aura just by standing there. Nobody could deny his attractiveness nor ignore his power. He looked completely different from the thin and gloomy man who locked himself in the dark room when Hannah first met him. "Mr. Winchester, you already found out that the mastermind who instructed Dr. Greydon to switch up the medicine back then was Robert, didn't you?"She continued softly, "Of course. You're so smart that there's nothing in this world that can escape your eyes. Back then, when you passed Winchester Group into Robert's hands…"She pursed her lips. At that moment, she didn't know how to continue.She couldn't imagine what thoughts were running through Darren's mind when he locked himself in that dark room. In the novel, this man, who could think of anythin
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 was just a poor guy with nothing but debt to his name.He had tried to recover his past memories and find his roots.He had been searching for decades, and even after getting married and having a daughter, he continued searching while struggling for a living.He never expected that just when he was gradually forgetting about this matter, life would suddenly take a new turn.This seemed a bit too dramatic. 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. Even if the outcome disappoints me, it's fine. But old people
Hannah didn't expect him to also have felt a sense of familiarity.Upon hearing that, she felt her heart skip a beat, feeling like the truth was gradually coming to the surface.She actually looked a lot like Eleanor.If the middle-aged man was really her uncle, even if he had been lost since childhood, wouldn't he still have memories of his biological sister's appearance?"May I ask if you are a native of Hopeldon? 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
