"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
Hannah felt nothing except fury burning inside her.The cause of her fury had a smile on her face.Even after receiving a merciless slap, Karen still smiled happily. She even clapped her hands cheerfully.Karen laughed and clapped her hands as if feeling no pain. She joyfully said, "I am Darren's bride, I am Darren's bride… I have grown up. 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! Speak properly!"Karen's appearance left her with no outlet for her anger. It made her feel as if she were punching cotton.A sense of powerlessness overwhelmed her, worsening her emotions.But Karen seemed oblivious as she continued to smile and mutter incessantly to herself. She was wearing a pristine and gorgeous wedding dress, and her face was adorned with an innocent and radiant smile. At first glance, she appeared exquisitely beautiful despite the dirt on her b
How could Karen have gone mad?If she had gone mad, she wouldn't know the sins she committed. She would only live in her own world, unaware of the consequences of her actions.How could she still happily live in ignorance after murdering someone? How was that fair?Furthermore, if she really went mad, she wouldn't need to face criminal responsibility.Wouldn't that make Erica die in vain?Hannah couldn't accept it.She clenched her fists, stood up with a calm face, and said coldly, "I don't believe it! I don't believe she's really gone mad, I want to see this for myself."She wished she could rush over and slap Karen until she couldn't pretend anymore."Hannah."Before the police could say anything, Darren had already embraced her.With deep concern, he whispered, "I know you're upset now, but try to calm down a little.""How could she have gone mad just like this?"Hannah gritted her teeth and spat coldly, "How could she?"She simply couldn't accept the outcome. Erica, wh
David was filled with pain as he stared at his daughter who no longer recognized him and his wife. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Where did she get the wedding dress from?! How… How did she do this?"As parents, they had noticed that Karen's condition was not right.But as a man, he always felt that his daughter was just heartbroken, so he was somewhat biased.He thought that as long as she got married and had her own family, she would gradually let go of the past.In order to prevent Karen from doing something irreparable, he had been restricting her movements, not allowing her to go out alone, and not giving her large amounts of money to spend.However, according to the police investigation, Karen had spent a lot of money renting dozens of cars, blocking the road to Molly's house, forcing Hannah and Molly to walk down the road.And the wedding dress she had on her…Karen was now very thin. Standing at 5'6" but weighing only 90 pounds made her very unhealthy.The wedding dress
David was taken aback. When he looked up, there was a hint of complexity in his eyes.Hannah was standing not far away with her arms crossed, her clear eyes looking over with a hint of coldness and mockery.She was still wearing her red dress, stained with large patches of blood. But her beautiful face was icy.Darren stood not far behind her, silently watching with a protective stance. His expression was still unreadable, leaving one unable to guess his thoughts.Seeing the two of them, David and Mary didn't know what to feel for a moment.They should have been feeling disgusted.The reason why Karen went mad was all because of her abnormal obsession with Darren.In addition to that, Hannah's presence led her step by step into trouble, eventually committing a heinous crime.But they were all rational adults after all, and it seemed unreasonable to blame the couple.Moreover, not long ago, their daughter held a knife, wanting to kill Hannah.Even though she failed, she had st
Robert suddenly clenched his fists.How dare Hannah look down on him!What right did she have to do that?His eyes darkened.He gritted his teeth, causing the muscles in his cheeks to tense. He said in a firm voice, "I said I just don't want you to add insult to injury at this time. I just hope you don't say anything irrelevant…""Robert."Just then, a hand fell on his shoulder.David's eyes flickered, but he remained firmly resolute as he said, "I also want to hear what Ms. Emerson has to say. It's okay. Let her speak."Since David had already spoken, it would seem too deliberate for Robert to continue blocking them.He could only purse his lips and silently step back.Though his eyes behind the lenses were quietly fixed on Hannah, they were brimming with deep meaning.Darren seemed to sense something. He looked over coldly with his dark eyes.Robert felt a chill in his heart. He involuntarily avoided his gaze after meeting it. Then he coldly scoffed and shifted his eyes a
David and Mary, who had already harbored some suspicions, were taken aback.In essence, they still didn't trust Hannah much, suspecting that she was deliberately guiding them out of personal grudges.Moreover, Robert was the husband they had carefully chosen for Karen.If he was truly innocent, wouldn't it be too disheartening to blame him at this time?Wouldn't it be like they were pushing him away?After this, it wouldn't be easy to find another good man who would wholeheartedly care for Karen and take care of her for the rest of her life.David was murmuring in his heart, but he said, "What are you saying? We're family, would we really suspect you?""Yes, we can see clearly how you treated Karen."Mary also nodded, her eyes reddening as she continued, "Robert, you mustn't overthink things. David and I trust you."Robert showed a somewhat touched expression. He pursed his lips and responded, "I know you are treating me well."My father passed away a long time ago, and my mo
When Hannah went to see Erica, she brought a bouquet of flowers.She didn't have time to change her clothes, the dress she wore was covered in large patches of blood.From afar, it looked like obscured patterns, but up close, one could see the distress within.Moreover, she naturally had a striking appearance and temperament, so wherever she went, it was easy to attract curious glances from others.She didn't linger for long. She just stood quietly next to Erica's body for a while.Then she sighed heavily and placed the flowers next to Erica's head while she whispered softly, "I hope you live a good life in your next lifetime."She wasn't a superstitious person, even though she had experienced the miraculous event of rebirth, she never relied on the protection of gods or prayed for blessings.But now, she sincerely hoped that if there were gods in the world, they could show a little compassion for Erica's short life.She had hardly experienced happiness in her life.After quie
