Hannah wasn't sure if Darren understood her silent communication. He didn't turn his head but maintained a quiet and indifferent demeanor as he gently squeezed her hand. In the presence of the enemy, Hannah refrained from saying much. She elegantly tied her hair into a high ponytail and revealed her slender neck. Her eyes suddenly sharpened. "Damn, I've never seen such a beautiful woman!"The burly men were practically drooling. Their eyes were lingering on the curves of her body. One of them couldn't help but crudely comment, "Guys, be careful when you make your move later. I want to taste what this beautiful woman really feels like."It was as if Hannah was already their prey.A sense of satisfaction flashed in Zachary's eyes. People often wondered why those in the underworld tied their heads to their belts. Well, it was always about money and women. He knew exactly how these men would treat a woman as beautiful and noble as Hannah. Rather than pity, his heart w
"Darn it. The boy toy has some skills." The burly man's face darkened as he covered his head, which was still spinning in dizziness. He retched and angrily said, "Be careful. Don't let him escape!" However, Darren had already swiftly caught the knife in mid-air.He held the knife and frowned in disdain. Then, he tore off a piece of fabric from his clothes, wrapping it around the part of his palm that touched the knife before loosening his grip slightly. "I haven't stretched my muscles for a long time."He raised his eyes, and the shadow cast by his dense, long eyelashes made his pupils appear even more unfathomable. His eyes were twinkling. It seemed as though there was a black hole in them, ready to devour everything.His voice was cold and indifferent as he said, "Since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being merciless." Following that, he charged forward with the knife. It seemed as if he intended to surround a dozen burly men single-handedly. Hann
The man couldn't help but scream out loud. He spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with broken teeth while clutching his injured finger and rolling on the ground. Darren's pent-up anger finally found some release. He gazed coldly at the bear-like figure not far away. Zachary couldn't believe the scene before him. His tall figure stood nearby. His expression transitioned from smugness to disbelief, finally settling on a mixture of fear and astonishment. He had thought that it was the law that restrained his methods, forcing him to temper himself and allowing Hannah and Darren to escape unscathed. Now he realized it wasn't the law restricting him but protecting him. He had assumed that his ferocity, honed over the years, could easily tear apart these herbivores living comfortably in a peaceful environment. Instead, once the laws were broken, he found himself the vulnerable one, like a lamb about to be slaughtered. He had been careless. "Stay away!"Sweat dripped from
The beach that the Winchesters had spent a considerable sum to acquire was undoubtedly beautiful. The power of money was immense. The beach was well-maintained, with the sea meeting the white sandy shore like a charming maiden in a long dress. There would be no unexpected visitors in the private domain, and no one would come disturbing. Zachary knew that they must have enjoyed their vacation here very much.What he had thought was a stroke of luck now seemed like he had walked into a death trap. With a bitter taste in his mouth, he forced a smile and waved his hands. "Mr. Winchester, you must be joking. This place is beautiful with pristine scenery. It would be a waste to bury bodies here. It will pollute the area." His mind was blank, and his gaze involuntarily followed the blade in Darren's hand. If he didn't perform well, the blade might stab into his body. "You make a valid point," Darren smiled after looking at him for a moment. He tapped Zachary's face
Hannah enjoyed the changing expressions on Zachary's face. She giggled. She suddenly put away her smile and said coldly, "Mr. Lautner, do you really think you can fool me by playing the victim?" How could this woman change her attitude so quickly?After a few confrontations, Zachary realized her significance to Darren. Even without Darren, she was a formidable wild rose full of thorns. Anyone who dared to harm her would face severe consequences. He gritted his teeth and hurriedly said, "I wouldn't dare, Ms. Emerson. You misunderstood. Absolutely not."Hannah didn't reply. She looked him up and down without saying a word."Seems like those people really like me and Mr. Winchester to kneel and beg, don't they?" She chuckled lightly and casually dropped the knife in her hand.The sound of the long knife falling on the beach was light and muffled. It was drowned out by the sound of the waves. Amidst the sea breeze, she said, "Mr. Lautner, it seems like you also enjo
"How dare you mess with me."Zachary's face turned highly terrifying. His eyes were bulging out. He wished he could tear Hannah into pieces.However, he was tightly controlled and couldn't make any more moves until the police took him away. The process after Zachary's arrest went very quickly. With Scarlett leading the way, more and more artists spoke out online, condemning the Lautner father and son. Starshine Entertainment's tax evasion issues, combined with Zachary and Saige's dirty deeds, led to a series of charges. Zachary's remaining life was destined to be spent in prison. With everything settled, the current situation was considered a happy ending for everyone except Misty.She never expected that the situation, which she thought was a sure win, would deteriorate so rapidly. She had already deleted her Twitter account immediately. However, screenshots of her sarcastic comments and replies to Hannah from the livestream were circulating everywhere. Peop
Misty's face turned even paler.She understood what was going on very well. There was nothing that Hannah couldn't accomplish. She had Darren backing her up and was now in a very favorable position. Even Matthew and Claudia couldn't stop them if they wanted to see Misty. She couldn't escape.Misty weakly closed her eyes. She didn't even have the energy to be angry anymore. With trembling fingers, she took the phone from Ivy and found that the commotion about Starshine Entertainment had gradually subsided online after causing a sensation for so long. However, half an hour ago, Hannah had retweeted a tweet.It was a recording from Misty's livestream outside the Hophur District police station.Then, she mentioned Misty in the tweet, saying, "Ms. Misty, when are you going to fulfill your bet? Can't you even do these two simple requests?" Countless fans and onlookers joined the frenzy below this tweet. Fans and strangers were all tagging Misty as well. "Ms. Hannah,
In the somewhat awkward silence, Misty's voice echoed particularly clearly as she descended the stairs. "It's just a bet, Hannah. Is it necessary for you to come knocking on my door so eagerly?" She couldn't help but glare at Hannah. Anger surged within her chest. Coldly, she continued, "You seem to be in a hurry as if you've been looking forward to my misfortune. Hannah, don't you find it embarrassing?" "If people who lose in a bet don't feel embarrassed, then why should I?" Hannah lifted her head and looked over while running her finger along the rim of her cup. She lifted her red lips slightly and said in a soft voice, "A bet is a bet. Misty, can you not afford to lose?" "What bet?" Matthew frowned. He had never paid much attention to the strained relationship between the two sisters. Misty had always appeared obedient and rarely showed such an aggressive side in front of him. Being of an older age and not particularly interested in the online world,
