Hannah nibbled on her bread, looking at Darren eagerly.Her eyes which always had a hint of coldness were teary and round, inexplicably showing a hint of pitifulness.Darren hardened his heart and turned away. "At least finish your milk before we leave."Seeing his firm expression, Hannah had no choice but to eat her breakfast quietly.After she finished eating, the couple drove to the police station.While on the road, there were new notifications on their phones.It was a Twitter post by Misty."Human life is the most precious. A trivial dispute shouldn't be the cause of taking someone's life. I hope the law can punish these malicious people severely and not let any criminal go unpunished."Albie is a good friend of mine. She was always a cheerful and kind young woman. I hope she can get out of danger soon."I will continue to follow this matter. I hope that the criminal will receive the punishment they deserve."She even tagged Taylor, Albie, and the Hophur District Police
The familiar voice paused for a moment then they spotted Hannah and Darren.Immediately, a completely hypocritical tone feigning surprise could be heard, "Mr. Winchester, Hannah! Why are you here too?"It was Misty.She was still wearing a white dress with her long dark hair cascading behind her, revealing her pure face.There was live streaming equipment in front of her, so she plastered on a smile with a glimmer of smugness in her eyes.Sure enough, as she expected, she would run into Hannah by coming near the police station at this time.Today, she had subtly stepped on Hannah online, garnering praise from many onlookers for her righteous words, and her Twitter followers had increased significantly.Even some businesses took notice of her popularity and started contacting her, hoping to hire her as a spokesperson.Having reaped the benefits, Misty became even more arrogant.This undoubtedly represented her chance for a comeback.More importantly, these things came from deg
Every industry had an internal hierarchy.Movie stars looked down on TV drama stars, true actors looked down on commercial actors, and even minor celebrities showed their disdain toward low-entry influencers.When Misty debuted, her first role was in Henry Yates' movie. How could she accept herself falling into the influencer category?Her face almost contorted with rage, and she exerted all her strength to prevent herself from losing her composure on the spot.However, resentment had already crept into her eyes."Hannah, please don't speak nonsense. I've never considered live streaming as my career."She gritted her teeth, speaking slowly, "I only want to use my own power to contribute to those poor children. These livestreams were just to let my fans supervise me."Moreover…"She lowered her eyes, revealing her meticulously crafted perfect smile.She said in a sweet and sincere voice, "My fans are all kind people. They will definitely be willing to contribute to charity with
At this time, a cold voice could be heard.Darren took a step forward, his tall figure bringing a strong sense of oppression.His dark eyes were deep and cold, and his face became darker after his eyes swept across the comments in the livestream.Hannah was the apple of his eye. He would feel distressed if she was even the slightest bit inconvenienced. What right did Misty have to be sarcastic and deliberately incite criticism against Hannah?If Darren spent enough time on the Internet, he would probably understand that Misty was completely gaslighting everyone in the livestream.Her words were full of implications. Even though she appeared gentle and considerate on the surface, she was deliberately sowing discord underneath.However, this didn't affect his protection of Hannah.The man's gaze and tone turned cold. "It doesn't matter whether Hannah likes children or not. You don't have the right to speak for her."His voice was full of disdain and indifference.For some reason
His tone was calm and confident. He maintained a proficient and protective stance for Hannah. It was as if Hannah's personal desires were the most important to him. It evoked admiration and jealousy in others. Misty's eyes were turning red. She looked at him in disbelief. "Mr. Winchester, aren't you afraid this will have a negative impact on the Winchesters? The Winchesters are a product of your hard work, after all."How could this be possible?The current status of the Winchesters was achieved through Darren's efforts.Could he really disregard his years of hard work, even if it meant being implicated by Hannah? "Do you think I want to make the Winchesters powerful so that my family suffers for it?" Darren found it amusing. He lifted his head. "The growth of the company depends on my abilities, and failure will be due to my incompetence. What does that have to do with Hannah? "I work hard to develop the Winchesters so that my family can live more freely." He
Misty thought about Matthew's recent misfortune and his cruel personality, and a slight smile appeared on her face.She seemed to envision herself devouring Hannah's flesh and advancing toward a brighter future."You seem very confident." Hannah's gaze landed on her face.She didn't fail to notice Misty's malice, but she wasn't afraid. She already had a plan in mind and was waiting for the final response. Hannah noticed Misty's confident expression, and she raised a smile sarcastically. "If Mr. Emerson knew you were thinking so much about him, he would be deeply moved, wouldn't he?" Recently, Emerson Corporation had been gradually losing ground under pressure from the Winchesters. Matthew was pushed to the edge. He had called Hannah many times, but she ignored him and even blocked his number. Thus, if she really lowered her head to Matthew now, she could guess what kind of request he would make. He probably wished he could crack open her bones and suck out her
How could she not see the disdain in Hannah's eyes? It was clearly mockery. Still, she couldn't react in front of the live camera. After all, compared to leaving the entertainment industry, revealing her love life seemed more like a harmless piece of gossip. Even variety shows had segments like that. If she didn't comply, wouldn't it seem like she had something to hide? She had to control her expression and bite down hard on her teeth. After a while, Misty, with clenched teeth, managed to squeeze out a few words. "Hannah, since you insist on this, fine, I agree to the bet." She would absolutely not lose! She would not allow any chance of a comeback for Hannah! She wanted Hannah to witness Taylor unjustly suffering and having her life ruined forever. She wanted to see Hannah crushed by Matthew and become a stepping stone for her. Her malice almost materialized, and her resentful gaze made people particularly uncomfortable. Hannah, however, seemed unfa
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly lit up. She said in an urgent tone, "Maybe Taylor established contact with that staff member because of this incident?" At this point, her mind was spinning rapidly. Seizing the opportunity, she looked at Hannah triumphantly and sneered, "This video proves nothing at all." In fact, she made some sense. The audience in the livestream quickly adopted her skewed perspective and began hesitatingly supporting her. "This only proves that Taylor helped the staff member and doesn't necessarily clear her of any wrongdoings!" "Can someone who comforts sick fans with such kindness really do something as heinous as hiring someone to commit murder?" "Maybe she deliberately approached the staff member to get him to do things for her!" The comments section quickly became a chaotic mix of opinions, with no one convincing anyone else. "Feel free to stick to your stubbornness." Hannah smirked. There was a glint of darkness in her eyes.
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
