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 was so consumed in his own negative thoughts that his eyes became bloodshot, and his entire demeanor became increasingly terrifying. He grew increasingly paranoid and felt as if there was a heavy weight in his heart that was dragging him to the depths of sorrow. Just then, a cool and gentle hand cupped his face. The familiar touch caused his tense body to relax instinctively as he yielded toward the gentle force. Then, he felt the figure in his arm attempting to pull away, as if wanting to distance themselves and desperate to leave his embrace. Did Hannah want to distance herself from him?Did Hannah also want to leave him?Instinctively, Darren wanted to pull her back into his tight embrace. He refused to let her break free. However, the moment he was about to execute force, he let go abruptly and let her pull away as she desired. He realized that compared to losing her, he was more terrified of hurting her. He was afraid of seeing the anger and rejection on h
Couples were supposed to stick together, right?He was clearly just exercising his privileges as a boyfriend.However, it seemed as if Hannah had already become slightly immune to his subtle acts of flirting. She stared at him calmly, pursed her lips, and remained silent. Darren's lips were pressed into a straight line and seemed to look even more pitiful. It was as if he had magically sprouted adorable, fluffy ears that drooped down the side of his head from being wronged. He released her from his embrace but still held her hands in his. He said with a serious expression, "Hannah, please tell me if you find me annoying.""Would you change even if I told you, Mr. Winchester?"Hannah looked at him and couldn't help but find him adorable. The longer she spent time with him, the more she was certain that the man in front of her wasn't as cold as he seemed on the outside. Instead, he was extremely warm and clingy. It was just that he found it hard to express himself. Darr
Mr. Oakes immediately picked up on Oliver's hint. He flashed a smile at Kaden and quickly passed Hannah the enrollment manual."Ms. Emerson, I'm sure you've heard of Hopeldon University's esteemed reputation."He said warmly, "We're eager for you to join us. Professor Noland brought me here early in the morning as he was afraid that you might choose another university. "I know that the Winchesters are financially comfortable. Nevertheless, for an outstanding student like yourself, Ms. Emerson, the university is willing to waive your tuition fees and even offer generous scholarships at the end of the semester."It was no wonder that he was a member of staff from a prestigious university. He spoke with such calmness despite the current situation. Furthermore, his demeanor contributed to a positive and comfortable atmosphere. He made his purpose clear when he emphasized Hannah being an outstanding student.Their visit was for recruiting Hannah as a student, and not because of
"Even so, are you not going to change your mind?"He looked at Hannah firmly.Indeed, becoming the disciple of an industry giant and working on a project with him was like reaching the sky in one step. Moreover, Oliver made it clear that he would lead Hannah in the project. Many doctoral students might not receive such attention.Hannah, however, looked at him calmly with a faint smile. "Professor Noland, would I still be the person you appreciated if I do change my mind?""Hmph!"Oliver grunted as if he was fuming with rage."Do whatever you want. I don't care!"He turned around angrily and walked away. Yet, after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said in a serious tone, "Hopeldon University runs a pretty good journalism major. They have produced several famous investigative journalists. Other than Einstein University, no other school's journalism major can be compared to that of Hopeldon University's."With that said, he left.Hannah couldn't help but chuckle as
