A flicker of joy flashed across Hannah's eyes when she saw them. On the contrary, Saige was about to combust from his boiling rage. His face was so painful that it felt numb, and blood trickled down his lips, tainting his shirt. Words simply couldn't describe his disheveled state. "Fuck! I'm going to file a complaint about you neglecting your duty!"His veins on his neck popped as he bellowed, "Can't you see she's beating me up? I'll fucking—Argh!"His sharp yelp cut through his unfinished words like a whip. Hannah didn't have mercy on him. Ruthlessly, she ground the tip of her heels on the back of Saige's feet. He let out a deafening howl of pain."You're so proud of toying with other people, huh?"The anger in her chest had yet to dissipate. Her punch landed on his stomach in the next instant. As his screams echoed in her ear, she struck him continuously as she hissed, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you're that mighty? We live in a modern society, but it seems
Even Saige's father couldn't handle Darren. If he came personally, the most he could do was to curry favor him instead. If Darren was determined to put him in jail, he would have it done even if it meant going against Starshine Entertainment. Though Winchester Group didn't venture into the entertainment industry, and it would certainly be a hassle and a risk for them to take down Starshine Entertainment, that wouldn't stop Darren from doing so. Nothing could stop him once he set his mind to it.Saige forced a smile, ignoring the throbbing pain in his leg. His face was ashen as he muttered, "Mr. Winchester, I just had a row with Ms. Blake, and I don't see the need to make things difficult. "Though Winchester Group is powerful, Starshine Entertainment isn't that weak either. After all, we've been around all these years. My father talks very highly of you, and we really don't have to make things ugly for the both of us, right?"In fact, that was why he dared to lay a finger on T
Clearly, Hannah didn't want him to tag along. There was a hint of shrewdness in her eyes as she beamed at him, and she looked gorgeous, yet coquettish at the same time. He loved it. A flicker of helplessness flashed across Darren's eyes as he captured a strand of her hair between his fingers. He murmured, "Hannah, the Lautner family has been in the entertainment industry for ages. They're not an easy target."Zachary wasn't fearsome, and neither was Saige. However, it was undeniable that the entertainment industry didn't start off as glamorous as it was now. It used to be ruled by chaos. Most of the people who ventured into the industry didn't have a clean background to begin with. Even though the industry had become better after certain rules and regulations, the Lautner family still wasn't an easy target.Darren was worried about letting Hannah go alone since he knew the Lautner family engaged in illegal stuff as well. Sensing the warmth in his simple words, her expressio
Even if Zachary were to scrutinize Hannah carefully like how he usually did with picking artists, it was hard for him to find flaws in her. Her features were ethereal, and she would look equally stunning on camera.The bright sun cast a gleaming halo on her as she glided her way in from the entrance. She carried herself daintily, and she looked extremely sophisticated. Zachary laughed as his gaze drifted across her. He stood up and extended his hand as he exclaimed in a booming voice, "Ms. Emerson! What an honor to meet you. You are indeed a rare beauty."Only then did Hannah realize he was a huge man when he stood up. Despite him being in his fifties, he looked sleek. His dark hair was slicked back, revealing his angular features. The wrinkles on his face didn't make him look gentle. Instead, he looked menacing. He had such a huge figure that his suit was stretched tight across his back, and he resembled a bear. He was very different from Saige, who always appeared gaudy.H
Nonetheless, Zachary had no intention of hiding his malice. His evil intentions were as clear as day. He hissed, "Aren't you afraid of going against the Lautners?""I won't even be invited here for a meal if I was afraid, Mr. Lautner," Hannah quipped, smiling as she continued, "You'll just get rid of me instead. Am I right?"Though she was smiling, there was a cold glint in her eyes. In her past life, she investigated Starshine Entertainment after Taylor's death. However, she didn't have the resources to do so since the Moores refused to support her investigation. She could only use her savings on it. She found out that there were a lot of internal stories regarding Starshine Entertainment forcing its artists to engage in sexual bribery. However, she died before she could dive into further detail. This was her first time coming across Zachary, the ultimate boss of the company, in both of her lives. She scoffed, and detested him for how typically villainous he was. A man l
Zachary's deafening roar echoed through the room. As he did so, four brawny men sprang out of nowhere at the entrance. They were all extremely muscular, and their arms were tattooed. They seemed formidable. With their bodies, they blocked the way to the entrance. Their upper arms were larger than Hannah's thigh. She would be digging her own grave if she planned to escape through the entrance. Nonetheless, she didn't seem flustered at all. Grabbing a vase stand near the entrance, she hurled it toward the man who was in the lead. A loud thud was heard, and it seemed like she had got him right on his skull. The man's vision swam as blood trickled down his head. Instinctively, he brought his hand up to wipe away the blood. Needless to say, he was infuriated when he saw his hand was drenched red. "Fuck."Malice raged in his eyes. Clenching his fists, he bellowed, "Fucking bitch! You're dead!"He no longer restrained himself. Instead, he charged at her relentlessly. "It's sti
Hannah performed the same trick. She threw the vase at them. The man was already prepared. He lifted his fists, ready to counter her attack. A loud noise was heard as his fist collided with the vase. It shattered and fell to the ground, clearly indicating how powerful the punch was. He nonchalantly shook his bloodied fist and grinned at Hannah. "Bitch, just you wait. I'm gonna catch you now, and make you get on your knees to lick my blood clean.""Stop the nonsense."Another man behind him cackled, "Do you want her to lick your blood, or do you want her to lick something else?"Their suggestive jeering echoed throughout the staircase. Though they were making lewd remarks about her, they didn't let their guard down. Instead, their wolfish gazes were fixated on her. "Are you trying to provoke me?"Hannah remained unfazed. Her smile never left her face as she incessantly threw everything within reach at them. As she threw, her gaze loomed over them. She taunted them. "If
At this moment, Hannah was in the study, which was located in the innermost area on the fourth floor. She turned around and locked the door swiftly. She seemed extremely calm. She was even smirking as she strode toward the computer. As she turned on the computer, she flipped through the documents on the desk quickly. She didn't stop when the monitor lit up. Lifting a strand of her hair beside her cheek, she chuckled, "I'm at the study now."A stunning ear clip on her earlobe was revealed. The part where it was connected to her earlobe was emitting a faint flow. This wasn't just an ordinary ear clip. Instead, it was a specially designed Bluetooth earpiece. "You're too daring, Hannah," came Darren's strained voice. He didn't sound happy. As he listened to the commotion on the other end of the earpiece, it was a first for him to realize that his heart could beat this fast. His heart stalled, and he found it difficult to breathe. Back when he survived through real battles, he
