Diana flashed a self-deprecating smile. "I know how despicable Cedric is, but I still like him."

She dropped her gaze, her lashes casting a shadow on her face as she whispered, "I can't bear to break up with him now either. So, I can only keep myself busy with him until I lose all interest in him."

But she had full control of their relationship now. Cedric, who was so full of ambition, would have to come begging to her—provided that Sorsby Group was going strong.

Diana felt like she had been split into two. A part of her was rational, meticulously laying out all her plans before her. She made sure she had the advantage after analyzing all the pros and cons. Yet, the other part of her was forlorn.

"No wonder I'd fall for him. I'm not any less despicable than he is." Her feelings for him weren't even genuine. She relished in her selfishness, and that didn't make her any different than him.

"You're different from him." Hannah frowned and took Diana's hands. Glancing up at her, she

    "Darling." Molly's eyes were red and teary, yet a huge smile spread across her face. Extending her wrinkled and weathered hand, she looked at Hannah lovingly. She surely had grown a lot over these years. "Here, let me walk you down the carpet." Matthew was supposed to do this, but he was sitting in a corner. He had no right to have the audacity to walk her, and she wouldn't give him the chance to either. He didn't deserve it. He was nothing like a father to her, and she despised the idea of allowing a disgusting man like him to walk her down the aisle. Molly was perfect for the job. Matthew didn't deserve to be a father, after all. Hannah dropped her gaze and beamed at Molly. "Thanks, Grandma." She linked arms with her, striding toward her groom with a bright smile. Her long train fell behind her as she strutted down the aisle in heels with Molly. Rory walked proudly in front of her, tossing petals as he led the way. Bouquets of flowers blossomed on their sides as fireworks

    It wasn't until Hannah looked into the mirror did she realize she was grinning. Her face felt sore from the wide grin plastered on her face. Darren stood tall behind her, looking as gorgeous as always. Something tingled in the air between them. His gaze remained hidden behind his lashes. From the way his solemn gaze was fixated on her hair, he looked like he was carrying out an important task when he had just been drying her hair.She flattened the corners of her lips, attempting to wear a serious expression. A laugh escaped her lips in the next instant as she looked at him in the mirror. She called out to him sweetly, "Darren."His eyes flicked up to her reflection, meeting her eyes in the mirror. Her smile grew wider as she tapped on the corner of her lips. Realizing that she was teasing him, he froze before he let out a chuckle. He gave a light tap on her eyebrow as he drawled, "You're being naughty, Hannah."Hannah didn't refute. She propped her chin against her hands as she

    However, a predator wouldn't hold back. Though Darren would usually fall for her whining, he didn't this time. His throat bobbed, his hands splayed at her waist, not giving her a chance to refute. "Hannah, didn't you want to know why I was so happy today?"I've been longing for this day." He leaned into her, not sparing her a chance to dodge. Devouring her lips with fervor, he wished he could melt into her body. Hannah was taken aback by the intensity of his kiss, utterly aware of how domineering he was. She threw her arms around his neck, her body slowly growing limp due to how great he was at kissing. He had her instinctively rolling her hips against him. Sensing her intent, Darren's breath hitched. His emotions rushed through him like a tidal wave. His arm went under her knee and he swept her up in an embrace, placing her gently on the bed. The room was carefully decorated. Their wedding photo hung above the bed, and Molly chose the bedsheets. Beautiful patterns were embroi

    Hannah didn't feel like eating at all. She shot a scathing glare at Darren as the tips of her ears turned red. How on earth did he suddenly become so bold overnight? He was clearly uneasy when she teased him before. Flustered, she propped herself up and said through gritted teeth, "I'll have my breakfast, please!"The chowder smelled divine. Its velvety and creamy base exuded a rich aroma which made her senses spiral in elation. She was indeed famished after last night, and she finally stopped eating after two servings, letting out a tiny burp. Darren had been watching her. He handed her some wet tissue and a glass of warm water once she was done. He seemed intrigued to groom her into a delicate lady who needed help with everything. Just as she handed the glass back to him, he pounced on her again. He breathed into her neck as he pecked kisses along the length of her neck. "Since you've eaten to your heart's content, I suppose it's my turn to eat now." Once he tried it for the

    Erica still looked slender and fragile, and the ends of her hair seemed brittle and yellowed. Amidst the heavy metallic scent of blood lingering in the air, her body wobbled before she collapsed to the ground. Hannah's heart hammered against her chest. She hurried two steps forward and got a hold of Erica. "M-Ms. Emerson…" Her face was ashen, and the color drained from her lips. Blood was trickling down the corner of her mouth as she flashed a weak smile at Hannah. Grabbing her hands, she stuttered, "A-Are you okay? D-Did you…Did you get hurt?""I'm fine. I'm not hurt." Hannah tightened her grip on her hands as she heard her stammering. A pang of helplessness surged in her chest. She couldn't tell whether it was a hallucination or Erica's hands were gradually turning cold. Her vigor seemed to have seeped out from her body. Panicking, she asked hastily, "How did you show up? Erica, y-you should stop talking… The ambulance will be here shortly. Don't worry." Erica was still co

    Her tone was cheerful. It was as if she was somewhat relieved.Hannah's heart skipped a beat. She grabbed her hand and said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense! You're not going to die!"She actually knew that her words lacked certainty.When Karen attacked her, there was no mercy shown. She stabbed Erica viciously, almost piercing through her body.Erica was slightly shorter than Hannah. The knife stabbed into her chest not far from her heart.Blood gushed out from the wound, seemingly unstoppable.Hannah's heart twisted into a knot.At this moment, she no longer remembered Erica's past mistakes. She was full of anxiety and sorrow."Why are you so silly?"Her eyes reddened slightly as she said with a voice tinged with panic, "Why did you rush out? You're still so young…"It was the best time of her life. She was blossoming like a flower.Even though life was hard, she could still be stunningly beautiful without any expensive cosmetics or skincare products.Was what she d

    "Mr. Winchester."Hannah bit her lip as she called out to him softly.Her reddened eyes looked at him as they filled with tears. There was a hint of pleading in her eyes as well.Darren paused, took two steps closer, and crouched down beside them.He was probably a naturally cold-blooded person. The demise of a person did not stir much emotion within him.However, Erica became like that because of Hannah. So, there was a trace of pity as he looked at her. His voice, however, remained as cold as ice as he said, "I'm here.""Mr… Mr. Winchester."Erica struggled to call out to him.The man she once admired and secretly loved remained as handsome and noble as ever.She used to be infatuated, but now she seemed to see things clearly.She uttered with difficulty while looking at Darren, "Promise me… Take care… Take good care of Ms. Emerson always… Treat her well…"Her eyes carried a longing look as if they were igniting the last flicker of life, watching him expectantly.This was

Come marry me, Darren!"Slap!Hannah's eyes were filled with terrifying ferocity as she gave Karen another slap.Her eyes were bloodshot when she sternly said, "Karen Lawson!

    Darren didn't let her off easily in the end.  Darren, being in his prime years, had maintained his purity and had never been involved with other women.   This was a great feat considering that Darren had managed to maintain his purity after being with her all this time. Having just celebrated their marriage, he had finally enjoyed some moments of satisfaction, only to face the complication with Erica.  Lately, Hannah had been in low spirits. Darren wouldn't be so brutish as to insist on intimate matters with her when she was in such an emotional state. He had to suppress his desires.However, now she took the initiative to seduce him. For a man who had finally given in to his desires, it wasn't so easy to let go.  Demonstrating his unyielding nature, Darren showed Hannah that he was not to be trifled with. Carefully timing his actions, he eventually released her.  Hannah, now lying on the bed, had a gentle gaze with a faint blush on her face. Her cheeks rested on the pillo

    Even with their current financial difficulties, the atmosphere between them remained harmonious and warm.The smile in Hannah's eyes deepened a bit.Finding her uncle was undoubtedly a joyous event for her. After all, they hadn't been in contact for so many years, and confirming that Elvis' family members were reasonable and good people made her even happier."Grandma has never given up looking for you all these years, Uncle Elvis."Hannah briefly shared her thoughts. "I thought of taking you and Lilian to see Grandma directly to prevent her from overthinking.""Of course! Of course!"Jennifer laughed and agreed. She said, "If it weren't for my poor health and being hospitalized, I would have gone to see her too."Things were settled.Jennifer still had one more dialysis session in the coming days. Thus, their meeting was scheduled three days later.Hannah and Darren didn't stay much longer. After arranging for Jennifer to move to a single room, they left.Before they took

    Jennifee hadn't looked before, but as soon as she did, she was almost startled.Under the shock, she even failed to contain her voice and exclaimed in surprise, "Elvis?"  Her husband, who rarely got involved in affairs and was always practical, was now standing up excitedly. His eyes were fixed tightly on the two entering the room.  He seemed as though he was about to pounce on those people.  Lilian was also stunned. She couldn't help but reach out and grab Elvis' hand, her face carrying a hint of embarrassment.  She lowered her voice desperately and said, "Dad, what are you doing?"  She sensed that the eyes of the entire ward had turned their way under Jennifer's exclamation.  The extraordinarily good-looking couple also looked over.  Her cheeks turned red. She felt both nervous and embarrassed. She forcefully tugged on Elvis' hand and whispered urgently, "Dad, hurry up and sit down."  However, Elvis not only didn't sit down, but he took a step forward and called out

    At Hopeldon's top hospital, Elvis sat by the bedside as he watched the summer breeze rustle through the leaves outside the window. A look of realization crossed his face.  "Mom, I bought your favorite food."Just then, a clear and lively voice rang out.  A girl with twin tails briskly entered the ward while carrying a meal with a smile on her face. "I was lucky to find discounted meat. I bought some. Mom, you have to eat more."  The pale woman on the bed smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay, I'll eat more."  After that, Jennifer noticed that Elvis, sitting on the side, was still staring blankly out of the window while lost in thought.  Jennifer frowned. She said softly, "Elvis, set up the table. It's time for lunch. Elvis. Elvis?"  "Huh?"Elvis suddenly snapped out of his reverie. Noticing both his wife and daughter looking at him, he forced a smile.  He rubbed his hands and stood up. "Lilian, did you bring the food back already? Let's have lunch then!"    "Dad, what ha

    She gently touched the scars on her face through the veil and then, with a sweet smile, began typing on the keyboard. "It would be great if I could help you. I'll be waiting for you to marry me!"As she replied to the message, her phone vibrated again. Robert asked with concern, "How did you get hold of these documents? Are you in any danger? Your safety is the most important thing!"Seeing his genuine concern, Misty felt even more convinced that her choice was right. The smile on her face seemed impossible to fade.  She had done her research lately. Cosmetic surgery here was not particularly advanced, and her facial scars wouldn't be perfectly repaired even with surgery. Meanwhile, Arovia was renowned for its excellent plastic surgery industry. Although dealing with her facial scars would be troublesome, new technology could provide a complete recovery. The only deterrent was the daunting cost.  No matter how regretful Matthew might feel, he wouldn't spend such a large s

    She was even draped in a thin windbreaker that covered her from head to toe.Despite the light and thin fabric, it was an autumn windbreaker. Wearing it seemed unsuitable for the current season. "The car and the house both have air conditioning. How could I get heatstroke?" Misty's smile widened.    Her fingers entwined around the belt of the windbreaker at her waist and gently pulled it twice. She spoke softly, "But since you want to see what's inside, I'll take it off, okay?"  Following that, she pulled off her belt before Cedric.  The fabric of the windbreaker was silky. After the belt came off, she shuddered, and the windbreaker slipped down from her shoulders.  She wore a semi-sheer dress that draped over her skin, gently showcasing the contours of her figure in a subtle and alluring way.  Then, she raised her hand and took off her hat. Her long hair was neatly arranged behind her head, revealing her forehead and a pair of seemingly innocent eyes.  Below her eye

    Just as she wished, Cedric felt an immediate dryness in his mouth.  As the male protagonist in the book, he had indeed lived a smooth life without experiencing many setbacks.He was always the object of admiration by others since he was young.When had he ever bowed his head to anyone?  Even when he failed in the competition for the heir of Garner Group, he remained the second young master of the company. No one dared to say much in front of him.  Only Diana was different.Since that day, Diana had suddenly become completely different.  The way she looked at him no longer held admiration, but instead, it was cold, as if she was scrutinizing him.  Although she still lived with him and would occasionally show him her gentle side, that sense of discordance grew stronger.  The previous Diana used to be completely submissive to him. She would believe and actively solve all his problems.  But now?He seemed to have become a plaything in her hands.He was summoned at will a

He wiped his face in silence before saying, "Of course, no problem. Not only did you guys just help me, but finding my family has also been a long-standing wish of mine. I'm willing to cooperate with whatever you need me to do."  He hesitated for a moment and then added in a low voice, "I believe your wife's grandmother is really old, am I right? From what you just said, it seems her health is not great. Maybe we shouldn't disturb her before getting the results."  He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm in my prime.

    Hannah didn't expect him to also have felt a sense of familiarity.Upon hearing that, she felt her heart skip a beat, feeling like the truth was gradually coming to the surface.She actually looked a lot like Eleanor.If the middle-aged man was really her uncle, even if he had been lost since childhood, wouldn't he still have memories of his biological sister's appearance?"May I ask if you are a native of Hopeldon? Were you born here?"She pursed her lips, staring at him before asking in rapid succession, "Who else is in your family? Are your parents still alive?"She asked many questions in one breath, sounding urgent and nervous.For someone she had only met for the second time, asking such questions seemed overly intrusive and might make people uncomfortable.But she couldn't care less now.Finding her uncle had been her grandmother's wish for many years.As she grew older, Hannah didn't want her to have any regrets in this life.The middle-aged man was also a little sur
