The thrill Darren reveled in sent him into a state of bliss. He couldn't help but become engrossed in it, losing all his restraint as he caressed the small of Hnnah's back. All of a sudden, he tightened his grip. He closed the gap between them, pressing her luscious curves against his chest. She was trapped in his arms as he gained control over her. They locked lips in an intense and fervent kiss, relishing in the passion they had for each other. It felt like ages had passed when the kiss finally ended, and both of them were breathing unsteadily. She leaned against him, her cheeks painted with a shade of red and her eyes tearing up. "Are you satisfied with the reward, Darren?" she asked in glee, yet she was caught off guard by her own voice. She sounded hoarse and coquettish, and the way she spoke was suggestive. Darren ground his jaw the moment he heard her. He tensed instantly, causing her to stifle a laugh."I'm satisfied," he replied, his tone equally hoarse. Despite h
"Then, I'll help you to get rid of your boredom," Darren said, chuckling as he leaned down on Hannah.His astringent pine scent engulfed her in a whiff, sending her into a flurry of ethereal dreams. The car partition blocked the driver's view, and they seemed to be more aware of each other's presence in this narrow space.Their lips collided in a fiery embrace, setting the air around them ablaze with an unmistakable hint of sexual tension. When she finally got out of the car, her slightly swollen lips became worse. It stood out like a sore thumb. Her lipstick had disappeared completely, revealing the natural color of her lips. Hearing the car engine, Rory came running at them. He glanced up at her and widened his eyes in surprise. "Hannah, your lips are swollen! Did a bee sting you?"A few days ago, his finger was stung by a bee when he was playing in the garden with Molly. His finger became swollen, and it hurt so badly that he cried. Thus, he thought her swollen lips ind
With a solemn expression, Hannah phrased her words carefully as she drawled, "You can choose whether you'd like to participate in this or not. No matter what your decision is, I won't blame you."Starshine Entertainment was an icon in the entertainment industry. It was an industry giant. Furthermore, the Lautner family had a complicated background. They weren't an easy target for commoners. Sometimes, it was a fact that the ones with power could do whatever they wanted. Taylor wasn't to be blamed if she chose to back out. Initially, Hannah wasn't thinking of dragging her in this. However, she was infuriated when she saw the gruesome contents she copied into the drive. The fury that was burning in her chest couldn't be extinguished. Although the clips she had in her hands now were solid evidence of the crimes Zachary and Saige had committed, she couldn't release them to the public. The clips were literally recordings of how other women were humiliated. Ever since her rebirt
Taylor was trending at the moment. The reposts and comments of her posts were increasing at an astonishing speed. She released a statement narrating the details regarding Saige's persistent pursuit, and how he had decided to hire someone to commit murder, framing her afterward when he had failed to court her. She also added a description of Zachary's attempt to rescue Saige.Without any attempts to spice things up or to gain sympathy, she presented everything clearly. She ended her statement with a line that said, "I have yet to receive any apologies from Mr. Lautner Senior, Mr. Lautner, or Starshine Entertainment at the time of releasing this statement. As a victim, I will not hesitate to press charges on Saige Lautner. I do not need any compensation regarding this issue. Let justice do its work."The netizens were appalled by how outrageous the entire issue was. The fact that Saige decided to frame Taylor because of his failed pursuit was simply horrifying. It was very likely
Even the women who were still suffering and being held under coercion weren't willing to speak up, let alone Scarlett. She had left her past behind her. She didn't have a reason to stand up for them."Scarlett wouldn't agree to this," Taylor blurted. She hung her head low in disappointment after sneaking a glance at Hannah's phone.She saw how they treated Hannah. Her intentions were good, yet they didn't let their guard down at all. Some were reluctant to admit what had happened, and some even threw snide comments at her. None of them were keen to speak up, proving how malicious Starshine Entertainment was.Taylor plopped her head on the table, mumbling, "They're too much! What kind of attitude is that? They'll benefit if Starshine Entertainment is ruined, though…"Not only did they not appreciate it, but they were also very hostile. Some of them refused to engage in any conversation with Hannah. Instead, they cut straight to the point, demanding her purpose of calling since the
Totally unfazed by Zachary's threats, Darren smirked and set his phone aside. In fact, Zachary's call appeared to be nothing more than a warning. Darren spent the whole afternoon in peace. However, things were different in Taylor's case.Due to her young age, she was quick to regain her vigor after she was released from the police station. On the next day, she was found skipping her way back to the film crew.Just as she finished her scenes, someone threw eggs at her."You bitch!" It came from a group of ordinary teenage girls. The one in the lead looked plain. Her face grew distorted as she hollered frantically, "You shameless and ruthless piece of shit! Do you think you can do whatever you want with Hannah backing you up? You'll be very sorry for being greedy!""What are you doing?" Avery was furious. He grabbed the girl's wrist, bellowing, "Do you know this is a crime? Just you wait—I'm calling the cops now!""So what if you do? I'm doing this for the sake of justice!" Ma
Moreover, Taylor could barely move. Avery's back was facing the girls, and she was enveloped in his tight embrace. Wary of her struggles, he tightened his arms around her. Seconds felt like hours as she watched as the translucent liquid made its way toward them, merely inches away from their faces. Just as she was awash in dread, an immense force yanked her away. She staggered, and Avery lost his balance as well. Both of them tumbled to the ground.The liquid came into contact with the ground, emitting a pungent smell. A few drops splattered on Avery's calf. He paled instantly, gritting his teeth. A muffled groan escaped his lips. "And I thought you guys could fight, huh?" Hannah's complexion turned slightly ashen as well. She was worried about Taylor and Avery, so she decided to pick them up. She didn't expect to come across such a scene. God knows how shocked she was when she saw the liquid being splashed at them. Nonetheless, she managed to come to their rescue in the nick
"Yes, it's not my place to say anything," Hannah replied coldly, her expression remaining calm.Facing Marie's bewildered gaze, she continued, "Did you really think I would sit down with you, reason things out, and persuade you to mend your ways? Wake up, I'm not your mother. I couldn't care less about what kind of person you are."You're just a girl from an average family, with average grades, and decidedly average looks. You're living a mundane life being overlooked at every turn."A derisive smirk played on Hannah's lips as she scrutinized Marie. Her eyes were pristine and bright, yet sharp enough to pierce through to the depths of one's soul, as if nothing could escape her gaze.With a tone mixed with amusement and pity, she remarked, "You can only attract attention online through desperate antics. Foolish girl, what do you think you'll achieve?""Shut your mouth!" Marie's face turned deathly pale, and she couldn't help but scream, "You're talking nonsense! Stop it!"Though h
