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
Having changed into a new set of clothes after replacing the spoiled gift, the couple set off again toward Molly's house in western Hopeldon.This time, the journey was smooth, and they parked directly in front of Molly's place.Upon seeing them, Molly didn't complain about their tardiness. Instead, she asked with concern, "Did you have a smooth journey here? Have you encountered any troubles?""Everything's fine."Hannah unconsciously glanced at Darren and shook her head before saying, "What could have possibly happened?""I heard that there were some disturbances in the neighborhood today. A bunch of cars came and blocked the road, preventing other vehicles from entering."Molly recounted and shared the gossip she heard, "Madam Pratt from the house opposite said it seemed like a rich young lady was trying to steal someone's husband and failed. Unable to accept failure, she resorted to using a knife. It resulted in a fatality!"She was making tea and didn't notice the sudden te
The photos were decades old, even if well preserved, they had become so unclear that it was impossible to see the tiny mole at the end of the man's eyebrow!Hannah just vaguely remembered why the man she bumped into today looked so familiar to her.It was because he looked somewhat like a mix of her maternal grandparents, naturally giving her a sense of familiarity.Could it be that he was the biological son her grandma had been searching for decades? Was he her uncle, whom Molly never found?But if he was in Hopeldon, why had he never sought them out?With these thoughts swirling in her mind, Hannah managed to suppress her excitement.Molly was old and had poor health, so she couldn't afford any drastic emotional upheaval.Before anything was confirmed, it would be better to investigate the man and conduct a paternity test rather than raise hopes with speculations only to lead to disappointment.With a plan in mind, Hannah kept her thoughts to herself.Molly's cooking might n
Misty's eyes trembled, her long lashes quivering weakly and pitifully. There was a pool of tears in her eyes.It had been a long time since someone had spoken to her so gently. At this moment, her heart was filled with bitterness.After being disfigured, even Claudia's attitude toward her was filled with hesitation and disappointment. No matter how careful she was, the pity and disappointment in her eyes couldn't be concealed.As for Matthew, even if he felt a little guilty, with his personality, it was unlikely for him to say anything comforting, let alone apologize.The only way he could express his remorse was perhaps by loosening his restrictions on Misty's spending these past few days.Apart from that, there was no further care or concern.After nurturing her for 20 years as a tool, he had intended to use her to climb up to a higher social class. But now, everything was destroyed. Could she still expect him to be considerate?Hearing Robert's words, Misty couldn't help but
