"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
It was actually a pretty busy time with people coming and going all around.However, Flynn and Hannah seemed to be enveloped by an invisible barrier after Taylor and Avery left. It was as if the world had narrowed down to just the two of them.Amidst the hustle and bustle, there was also a serene quietness. Despite the gentle music and chatter around them, Flynn could almost hear the sound of his own blood flowing and his heartbeat.He licked his lips and felt a slight dryness in his mouth from the illusion of being alone with her. "You didn't have to." Hannah didn't notice his unease and graciously accepted the gift.Her bright eyes formed crescents as she chuckled softly. "I'm delighted. Thank you!"She shook the beautifully wrapped box and tilted her head while asking, "Can I open it now?""Of course." Flynn felt dry in his throat and cleared it before giving a reply. With that, Hannah lowered her head to reveal the top of her head and a little of the soft skin
Hannah pursed her lips.After all, how could she not be anxious?Going abroad was not a trivial matter, and Flynn's implication was clear that he wouldn't be back for a short while.In her past life, she had witnessed the dire consequences of caring too little for her friends.The previous experience was too grueling and overwhelming for Hannah to take it lightly at all.Flynn was somewhat surprised by her strong reaction. He fell into a moment of silence.After that, he lifted an easy smile and acted as if it were nothing. "I'm not a child anymore. Why are you so anxious? Don't worry. Everything will be fine."Hannah didn't say anything but had her eyes fixed on him.It seemed she wouldn't let it go until he made things clear.Flynn was a little helpless after seeing that look of hers.He sighed and quietly said, "My parents found me."Real orphans with institutional support usually grew up in a welfare center.Some slum children, like Hannah, lived with the elderly, who h
Hannah's heart sank.They had grown up together. How could she not know the look on Flynn's face that proved he wouldn't change his mind?Moreover, there was a burning flame in the depths of his eyes, as if some wild ambition was ablaze.She was a little stunned.While she had been focused on urging him not to repeat the mistakes of their past life and hoping he would lead a peaceful and happy life, she had never truly understood what he actually wanted.Now that he had made a decision, how could she, as a friend, restrict the wings of his aspirations to soar high?"Have you told Taylor and Ave about this?" She finally decided to compromise and whispered, "You've just met them, and there must be a lot to deal with. You won't be able to come back for a short time. If you don't tell them about this, Taylor will definitely make a fuss."Flynn's smile became even more sincere.His eyes were on hers. Even with Darren at her side, casting sharp and unavoidable glances, Flynn contin
"Mr. Winchester."Hannah was somewhat surprised and amused. She poked his chest and smiled. "Are you jealous? Huh? Why are you even jealous of Flynn? To me, Flynn is no different from Anthony and Andrew."They were like her younger brothers. Although they were not blood-related, the bond between them was inseparable. Over the years, they had become her family."Well, why don't you check if I taste sour or not." Darren ignored her question. Instead, he seized her hand and lowered his head to kiss her lips.Flynn?He'd be unhappy even if it were Anthony and Andrew who took up Hannah's time, let alone Flynn.No one was allowed to take her time. Hannah couldn't understand him for some reason, and she was speechless. "Mr. Winchester, we are in public now." She smiled and pressed her finger against his lips before she looked around. "Aren't you embarrassed?" Was he still the Mr. Winchester who would blush at her words in the past? Now, he dared to ask her for a kis
Karen screamed.She wasn't blind, and she had a normal sense of aesthetics. She knew how terrifying she looked now. Since she had entered the hall, many of her past acquaintances had inquired about her, either directly or by implication, or had stayed to look at her with odd or pitying glances. This was ridiculous. As the daughter of the Lawsons, when had she fallen to the point of being pitied by others? When she first returned to the country, she was surrounded by numerous socialites seeking her favor. She enjoyed a period of splendor and attention. Yet now, she had become an object of sympathy for everyone. How could Karen endure such a drastic change? She was on the verge of losing her mind. Due to the various incidents, especially the time when she almost jumped off a building for Darren, she became a hot topic. She had turned into a joke within her social circle. Unsure of the reason why, she gradually withdrew from public life and distanced herself from soc
To Karen, Darren was flawless. There couldn't possibly be any problems with him. Even if he did something wrong, it must have been because he was misled or deceived by others. Her pent-up anger was entirely directed at Hannah. She let out a cold laugh, and her attitude and tone were equally sharp. With a scrutinizing gaze, she looked at Hannah and sneered, "If you don't want others to know, don't do it. I'm not one of those dumbasses on the Internet who just gets led around by the nose. "Hannah, do you really think what you've done is seamless? You're just using your marriage to Darren to bully others. "You beat up a pregnant woman in public over Nigel, and you held a grudge against his parents for not allowing Nigel to marry you. Not only that, but you put the Moores out of business. Would you dare admit it?" Her eyes filled with disdain as she lifted her head high and continued, "And I heard that the Starlight Foundation is nothing but a fake charity. You're just u
"You..." Karen was so angry that she was at a loss for words. Her fingers were trembling, and it took her a while to shout, "Who gives you the right to say such things about me?" "Did I say anything wrong?" Hannah confronted her without hesitation. Her tone was sharp. "Even if you stay indoors all the time, don't you read the news, surf the Internet, or check Twitter for trending topics?" "If you would open your eyes and look at the world objectively, you would realize how stupid what you just said is." She stepped forward while her heels struck the ground with a crackling sound. Her graceful and composed strides, coupled with her alluring face and compelling aura, created an undeniable sense of pressure. Accompanied by the clear sound of her high heels meeting the ground, her calm voice resonated. With each step closer, the series of probing questions became increasingly clear. "Couldn't you see that it was Nigel who pursued me persistently all along? He confesse
