Darren's eyes sparkled with glee. Enveloping Hannah's fingers in his hand, he answered, "Alright."

He knew she was never a cruel person. She stood firmly by her own principles, and she upheld them stubbornly. She despised tricks, and she'd rather navigate her way through with justice. She thought victories only belonged to those who earned them through effort.

Never would she opt for shortcuts or underlying schemes. Instead, she would strike right at her opponent, just like what she did to the Moores. Once she found out their weak spot, they were done for.

Or, she'd rather punch the ones she loathed in their faces.

Though she'd find a way to counterattack, it was rare for her to destroy Robert's ego with such harsh words.

It was then Darren realized that she was furious. His smile deepened.

She wasn't angry because Karen offended her, nor was it because of how annoying Robert was. Instead, she was infuriated for his sake.

Upon this realization, he felt a swelter of warmth

    Karen yanked his hand away, screeching hysterically, "Did you really become a coward when she called you one? How could you invite them to our wedding after she'd insulted and slapped you? Are you a masochist?"Her face was burning in shame. Despite being slapped and insulted by Hannah, her fiancé, Robert, still had the heart to invite them to their wedding. He wasn't even trying to fight back. This was embarrassing. As a socialite, she'd always been proud of herself and deemed herself superior to others in both her local and overseas social circles. It was impossible for her to handle such humiliation. "Karen, Darren is my family."Though a flicker of annoyance glinted in Robert's eyes, he masked it away and put on a pained expression. Cradling Karen in his arms, he endured her attacks and murmured, "I don't have any family members left, and I really don't want to have none of them present at our wedding. It's a significant moment for us."He dropped his gaze in sorrow, see

    Hannah took no notice of their puzzled gazes. She raised her glass and gestured to take her leave. "Sorry, please excuse me.""Take your time, Ms. Emerson."The Winchester and Sorsby families were extremely powerful. Despite the thoughts that might've crossed their minds, they looked perfectly composed. They smiled, parting a path for Hannah to pass by. She smiled, gliding her way through elegantly, and stopped before Diana. Diana raised a brow. Her gaze swept past Hannah, and she suddenly giggled. Extending her hand, she said, "Thanks for gracing me with your presence, Ms. Emerson."Hannah didn't respond. Instead, she placed her hand in Diana's, nobly accepting her invitation. She seemed quite pleased as she joined Diana in a vacant corner. Now that they were isolated from the clamor in the banquet hall, Diana sighed. "Everyone's swooning over you, Ms. Emerson," she teased, chuckling as she leaned against the wall languorously. "You have everyone's attention wherever yo

    Sometimes, Diana felt like a fool. Her mind was probably preoccupied with those ridiculous thoughts because love was getting to her head.Nonetheless, she thought she was out of her mind. Perhaps it was about time for her to visit a therapist. "Ms. Sorsby."Just then, a calm and soothing voice snapped her back to her senses. With her tranquil gaze fixated on Diana, Hannah worded her reply carefully."It's impossible to fully understand someone else's perspective. After all, you're the only one who could completely understand your feelings."I might not be able to help you much, but I figured…"She smiled, looking right into Diana's eyes as she stated, "You should never, ever, doubt yourself."If Diana felt like something was off, she was probably right. Since she had a hunch, she should believe in herself and explore ahead. Hannah was intrigued. She couldn't help but wonder whether it was possible for the characters in this world to free themselves from the plot without her

    Cedric looked glum, and there was a hint of malice lurking in his eyes. He seemed very eager to lunge at Hannah and tear her apart. Nonetheless, Hannah smirked at his enraged state. She was intrigued to know what else he was capable of as the protagonist, now that he had missed the opportunity to strive since Darren was still alive, and had lost Diana as his stepping stone. He'd lost Diana, who had been loyal to him. "I have other guests to tend to. So, if you'll excuse me," Hannah said, curtsying before she left. She glided away right after she exchanged glances with Diana, and she didn't even spare Cedric a glance. Her nonchalance hurt his pride again. He clenched his fists, his eyes glinting menacingly. "Ced, you look quite off."Diana's eyes flickered before she glanced up at him, saying, "Hey, that's just how Ms. Emerson is. Don't be mad at her, okay?""How dare I get angry at her?"Cedric flung his arms in exasperation, gritting his teeth. "She's the lady of the

    Hannah shuddered when his hoarse voice echoed in her ears. He was literally breathing into her ear. Being in the intimate position they were, she nuzzled his nose affectionately in response. "Did you drink?"Her gaze softened, staring at him tenderly as she asked, "Did you have too much to drink?""No," he answered, resting his chin on the top of her head. His chest vibrated as he let out a chuckle, tightening his embrace around her. He finally let go of her, stating nonchalantly, "I just felt like it's been ages since I last saw you around. I feel anxious whenever I don't have you around."Hannah glanced up at him. Was he trying to be coy?That was a rare sight.This overwhelmed her more than his heartfelt confession to her when he was drunk. After all, he acted very differently from his usual cold demeanor."So, you just missed me?" she asked, glancing up at him with glittering eyes. Her fingers traced the collar of his suit, gently brushing past Adam's apple before s

    Hannah's fingers twitched. She suddenly couldn't bring herself to accept the gift. "Ms. Emerson, why don't you take a look at it first?"Fabian's eyes glinted, sensing her hesitation. When she met his eyes again, only delight was evident in his eyes. "You can decide whether you'd like to accept or not after you have a look at it."Since he phrased it that way, she couldn't possibly refuse again. Her eyes lit up when she saw the contents of the document after flipping it open. "Did the government approve my reformation plan for Roberson?"It was more like starting over rather than a reformation. As a foreign trade company, Roberson was significant due to its close connections with the government. However, it suffered from chronic losses under Hailee's management. All her attention was on benefiting herself and leeching off Winchester Group. She didn't even bother to operate her company properly. Roberson had barely achieved its original objectives ever since it was founde

    Darren took in the sight of Hannah's captivating eyes and plump lips. His gaze darkened as he stared at her, swallowing hard. She noticed his reaction and broke into a grin. She knew what was up, yet she touched his lips gently, saying, "What vulgar thoughts are you having now, Darren?""They aren't vulgar."Tightening his grip on her waist, he closed the distance between them. He growled, "It's something I've been wanting to do."He dove down and devoured her lips. There were too many people around at the banquet, and he had to be careful of her makeup. He couldn't kiss her properly. Now that he had the opportunity, he reveled in it. His lashes cast a shadow on his face, contouring his features. Despite his cold demeanor, he seemed gentle. A suggestive chuckle escaped Hannah's lips as she threw her arms around Darren's neck. Both of them had a few glasses of wine at the banquet. Given their status, no one dared to coerce them into drinking too much. Nonetheless, she fel

    Taylor remained unmoved by Saige's advances, decisively creating distance to avoid being involved in the matter.Saige opened his mouth, an inexplicable feeling surging in his heart.He genuinely liked her spicy personality.The more she rejected them, the more he felt the desire to conquer her. He felt confident in winning her over.However, now…Looking at Hannah's cold gaze, he felt an uncertainty in his heart and momentarily felt a little hollow. "I… I don't necessarily need you to agree. I am free to like whomever I want. But you can't stop me from liking you, right?"He tried to prop up his chest and said, "If you want to focus on your studies now, I'll wait for you. You can't always treat me as if I'm a bad person, right? Do I not even have the right to pursue someone I like?"He managed to speak a few words properly for a change.Taylor's face showed a hint of confusion. She pointed at herself and asked, "You said you're pursuing me?""Of course!"Saige nodded and ask

    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 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

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
