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,
Matthew's expression turned highly unpleasant in an instant. He frowned and was ready to explode with anger. However, Hannah didn't give him the chance. She wasn't Misty, surviving on his every breath. Since she stopped caring about him, her actions were guided by her true feelings, and she didn't need to pay attention to his mood. Without lingering, she turned and left, leaving the Emersons with her graceful figure. The feeling of being unable to vent his frustrations was driving Matthew crazy. Clink! He grabbed the teacup that Hannah had placed on the table and violently smashed it. The untouched tea inside spilled out and left a large brown stain on the wall. Claudia's gaze couldn't help but drift over. Ever since Hannah married Darren, the teacups and pots in the house changed rapidly. They went through one set after another. The once-expensive teapots and vases that were displayed as decorations had turned into shards. At some point, the servants h
Still, he would never admit his incompetence. He became even angrier when Misty dared to challenge his authority. "You brat!" His anger surged, and he raised his hand to land another slap on her face. Slap! Despite Misty's head turning from the slap, his anger didn't diminish in the slightest. "How dare you talk back to me?" His face contorted, and bloodshot veins filled his eyes as he looked around. He searched around while cursing in a hoarse voice, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation today. I'll crush and kill you!" His eyes brightened as he finally found something handy. He took a couple of quick steps, grabbed the feather duster stuck in a vase, and raised it high. The feather duster cut through the air and made a dangerous sound as it heavily struck Misty's slender back. Misty couldn't help but scream in pain, and tears streamed down her face. "I didn't say anything wrong! You act like a dog in front of Hannah, but why do yo
Matthew's anger, which had just slightly subsided, escalated even higher. "I'll kill you, you disrespectful child!" He pushed Claudia away as hard as he could. The last thread of his sanity finally snapped.With the feather duster raised high, he ruthlessly struck Misty's face and head. "No!" Claudia was pushed to the ground. She couldn't help but scream. An uneasy premonition surged in her heart. Slap!Crack!There were two crisp sounds. Following Misty's screams, warm blood sprayed out.Claudia sat on the floor in a daze while raising her trembling fingers to touch the tears on her face. She stared at the blood and felt her vision darken. She went crazy while rushing to the sofa where Misty lay motionless. She cried and yelled, "Misty! Misty, are you okay? Is everything alright?" Matthew, still holding the broken feather duster, stood in place and couldn't utter a single word. His eyes widened in astonishment.Under his frenzied strength, the feather du
