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
The innocent face that had been praised by Cedric and many supporting male characters in the novel had now been completely ruined. The scar on her cheek was unexpectedly deep, and there were wooden splinters embedded inside. She looked terrifying. One couldn't help but wonder if, without this face, she would still be the cherished protagonist of the novel. Hannah's gaze was filled with scrutiny and exploration. She raised her hand in the air to sketch the scars on Misty's face. "What are you doing!" Claudia became anxious. She stood up abruptly and pushed Hannah's hand away. Her face was full of vigilance and fear. "What are you trying to do? I warn you, don't mess around!" Too many things had happened that day, and her nerves were on the verge of collapse. Misty remained unconscious in her injured state. Claudia couldn't bear to take on anymore. "Mrs. Emerson, why are you so nervous?" Hannah chuckled. Her lips carried a faint smile. With her gaze
His fingers were trembling. The smile on Hannah's face couldn't help but grow wider upon seeing his state. "I don't need your false sympathy!" Claudia, however, looked at her with hatred. She glared at Hannah and shouted, "We don't need you to interfere in our family affairs!" Misty had turned into a mess, yet Claudia was still defending Matthew. No wonder she could keep Matthew in her grasp. Hannah sneered. "Fine then." She put away her phone and stood up. Her gaze swept over them coldly as she said, "Mr. Emerson and Mrs. Emerson, I want to thank you for your hospitality. I'm delighted with this grand performance." She then covered her mouth and laughed. She didn't hide her smugness at all. "Oh, by the way." Suddenly, she remembered something and looked at Claudia's neck. Her smile widened as she said, "Mrs. Emerson, I suggest that when you take Ms. Misty to the hospital, you should also get a checkup. If you need to file a domestic violence laws
Darren leaned against the wall half a meter behind her. His dark eyes remained fixed on her and did not move the slightest. His gaze deepened upon hearing what she said. His eyes, which usually carried a sense of detachment and distance, suddenly seemed surprisingly invasive. "Mm." He responded in a deep voice. His thin lips curved into a pleased arc, and he said in a low voice, "Hannah, you look truly beautiful today." She was beautiful even in her usual state, but wearing a wedding dress made her even more charming. His heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate when he saw her. He wanted to hold her in his arms and hide her beauty from the eyes of others. However, he also wanted to appear with her in front of the whole world and declare that she finally belonged to him. Hannah sensed the obsession and dominance in his eyes. Her red lips unconsciously curled up and revealed a sweet smile. At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. Taylor, wearing a
Hannah was a bit surprised. She couldn't help but burst into laughter as she looked at Taylor's dumbfounded expression. "It seems like Mr. Winchester is really happy," Her eyes filled with even more amusement. She gently blinked and smiled while saying, "Since he gave it to you, just take it." She didn't expect that a simple title change could make him so happy.It left her feeling sweet inside. Suddenly, she felt both guilty and regretful. She regretted not noticing his hidden thoughts earlier and regretted not giving him a hug and a kiss when he'd left a few minutes ago. It was strange. They were together just a moment ago, and even though only a few minutes had passed since then, she already missed him. "Hannah, how are the preparations going?" Naomi was busy, too, and she rushed in with Nina, who was delighted.When she saw Hannah in her wedding dress, her eyes lit up. "Hannah, you look so beautiful!" Nina nodded vigorously. As Hannah had changed he
Karen looked at Darren with excitement and joy. "Darren, what... What did you just say? You... You don't really like her, do you? Do... Do you still remember our agreement?" She was ecstatic. Her heart thumped, and there was drumming in her ears.She felt like she had sunk into a wonderful dream. No, it was even more wonderful than a dream.The smile on her face widened, and the corners of her mouth lifted high. She wished she could throw herself into Darren's arms.However, just as she took a step forward, the tall and handsome man furrowed his brows even tighter and took a step back.Darren kept a distant distance between them. He looked at her with a cold and repulsive gaze while saying in an icy tone, "I said no. "No, don't you dare cry." He used an extremely indifferent tone to utter words that might be misconstrued as carrying deep affection. Before Karen could delude herself more, he added in a chilly tone, "Today is my joyful day with Hannah. It's my weddin
No one else could stir Darren's heart aside from Hannah. Karen suddenly tightened her fist, and a deep sense of jealousy and pain flashed in her eyes. The flames of envy burned fiercely in her heart. She didn't get it! She still couldn't understand! If he was destined to be with a person, then why couldn't that person be her? Karen bit her lip. Her eyes turned red, and her tears were on the verge of falling. "Do you really have to marry her, Darren? Do all the past promises mean nothing now?" "I never promised you anything." Darren looked at her indifferently, and a trace of impatience was on his face. He wouldn't feel honored because of her persistent entanglement, only annoyance. Without hesitation, he said, "Back when you sat on the ground crying and asking me to promise to marry you, I didn't respond." Even when he was young, he had always been a man of his word. When Mary and David pleaded with him to lie to Karen about marrying her in the future w
Though Karen was quite spoiled at times, she was undeniably a sensible lady. David and Mary couldn't fathom why she had become like this. Despite their disappointment in her, she was furious. "What have I become? But it was you who changed! Since you like Robert that much, why don't you make him your son instead?"She clenched her fists, tears streaming down her cheeks. They were her parents, yet they kept siding with Robert. Criticism and admonishments were what she received from them while they showered him with affection. She was unfazed by the fact that she was incomparable to Morgan, who was extremely bright, but it was impossible for her to accept that her parents favored Robert more than her. How could they call themselves her parents when it barely felt like home with them?Her fury grew the more she contemplated. Gritting her teeth, she blurted, "You only care about yourselves and your reputation! What even am I to you? I'm merely a puppet, who should always obey you a
