Hannah slept until almost ten o'clock, and when she woke up, Kendall was already not in the villa.The weather was nice today, with sunshine.She turned over and reached for her phone, intending to send a message to Hollis, but the phone suddenly rang.Hannah raised an eyebrow and looked at the unfamiliar incoming call on her phone screen. After hesitating for a moment, she finally pressed the answer button and said, "Hello, how can I help you?""Ms. Howell, I am Ricky, Mr. Hawthorne's secretary. Mr. Hawthorne asked me to deliver a dress to you. Ms. Howell, would you be available to receive it later?"Hannah raised her hand and rubbed her temples, sitting up in bed with the blanket in her arms. "When do you think you will arrive?""About ten minutes later.""OK."After hanging up the phone, Hannah immediately got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth.After changing her clothes, she went downstairs to the kitchen and looked inside. She found that the
Hannah also didn't dare to answer immediately. She took her phone and started running, running for five or six seconds. She turned into another aisle before she dared to answer Kendall's video call. "Hello?""Where were you?"Kendall at the other end of the line was in a quiet environment, clearly no longer in the lobby.Hannah switched the camera, "I also didn't know where I was, after I came out of the bathroom earlier, I walked for a while and ended up here.""You share in real time, stay where you are, I'm coming over."Kendall paused and said, "Take another picture of your surroundings, is there a room?"Hannah looked around at him again before switching back to the camera and said, "No, but there seems to be a safe passage ahead. Shall I wait for you there?""No need, you stay right there. I'll come over now and hang up first.""Oh oh."Kendall hung up after speaking, and Hannah stood in place holding her phone.Kendall asked her to stay in place, and she didn't want to wander a
As soon as Hannah got on the car, she couldn't help but look for the cookies Kendall had put down before. Kendall opened a bottle of mineral water for her and said, "Just have a little, I'll take you to have supper."Hannah took a sip of water and hummed softly, "This is my dinner!"What late-night snack? She hasn't eaten a single bite of food since around 1 o'clock in the afternoon until now!I didn't even have dinner, so where did the late-night snack come from?Kendall laughed helplessly and said, "Didn't I ask you to eat just now?""You didn't understand."Hannah touched her little belly and realized that she didn't have the same determination to exercise as Jessica. Moreover, she loved to eat more than Jessica. It was already quite difficult for her to maintain a not-so-obvious belly at the age of thirty.Not to mention the party tonight, she was wearing a fitted dress. If she wasn't careful, her stomach would just pop out. Hannah wouldn't dare to eat anything casually.She didn'
Hannah responded with a shocked expression, Hollis was probably busy and didn't reply to the message.She felt a little hungry, touched her stomach, turned around and went downstairs to find something to eat.There were three sandwiches in the kitchen, but they had already gone cold. Hannah heated a cup of milk for herself and carried it upstairs to eat.Just as I took a bite of my sandwich, Hollis sent me a bunch of messages.Hollis: Guess who Madelynn became a mistress for?Hollis: You would never guess!Hannah, of course, couldn't guess. Although she heard some noise last night, she didn't see anyone, so how could she possibly guess who it was.Hannah: I don't know, the ones I knew?Hollis: Not only did I know him, but I was quite familiar with him!Hannah raised an eyebrow: Who is it?Hollis: Derick Murphy.Hannah: ...This person is indeed quite familiar. Derick used to be classmates with Eden before, but this person is a typical playboy. His grades were not good when he was in s
Receiving such a phone call early in the morning, Hannah felt unlucky.It was raining outside, so she didn't feel like going to the office today. She decided to go later in the afternoon and instead, she decided to talk to Hollis on the phone about what had just happened.The two of them chatted for a while and Hannah ordered takeout. After having lunch, she changed her clothes and went over to the company.In the evening, Kendall drove over to pick up Hannah to go eat hot pot.The rainy weather was suitable for eating hot pot, and the hot pot restaurants had long queues. The two of them waited for a while before finding a seat.Taking advantage of Kendall's break from washing dishes, Hannah told her about Madelynn being beaten as a mistress."...You said, how could there be such a person, knowing full well that someone has a girlfriend or a wife, yet still insisting on getting involved. Does she prefer second-hand things?"Kendall placed the freshly cooked fatty beef onto her plate,
ãã"Trissy, please don't send any messages to Lucas late at night. He's my husband."ããTrissy was Lucas' first love, but she had married Lucas' elder brother, Max. Since Max died, Trissy had been pestering Lucas all the time.ããThat troubled Jessica a lot, so she had to talk to Trissy in person.ãã"Only legally. He is in love with ME. But you don't have to worry. I will make him leave you." Trissy sneered, not taking what Jessica said seriously.ããToday was the dinner for the announcement of the new CEO of the Thomas Group, the most famous enterprise in LA, to take over the affairs of the group.ããJustin Thomas, the original CEO, Lucas' grandfather, announced that the new CEO is Lucas in front of the entire upperâclass circle in LA.ããSuddenly, the banquet was interrupted by some servants out in the garden.ãã"Help! Help! Jessica and Trissy fell down the stairs!"ããPeople hurried to the garden. Before everyone else could react, Lucas had already picked up Trissy, who was unconscious on
ãã"Jessica, get up now. The shards are all over you." After Justin left, Rebecca, Lucas' mother, hurried over, trying to help Jessica up.ãã"Mom, wait." Lucas reached out to stop Rebecca. He then looked down at Jessica and asked, "Did you hear what Grandpa just said? Do you know what you have done wrong now?"ãã"Lucas, I think I've made it very clear. I didn't push Trissy. I did nothing wrong."ããAlthough Jessica was trembling with cold, she looked at Lucas firmly. She wouldn't give in.ãã"Then from today you don't live in Thomas house, people like you don't deserve to be in the same house as us!" Lucas nodded at the butler, beckoning him to come over and take Jessica away.ããRebecca shook her head in disagreement and said to Lucas, "Jessica is your wife. How can you treat her like that?"ãã"Such a vicious woman can't be my wife," Lucas replied coldly.ããJessica suddenly felt a shooting pain in her heart. Originally, she planned to show Lucas the evidence so that Lucas would know he h
ãWhen Jessica woke up, it was already the next morning. She had a French feast with Hannah yesterday evening, and then had some drinks and danced the whole night. They got home early in the morning.ããJessica felt as if she had been crushed by a car after a hangover. She felt weak and sore.ããHanna walked into Jessica's room with a glass of milk and handed it to her. "The news on the Internet spreads fast."ãã"Really? Where is my phone?" Jessica took a sip of milk and took over her phone, handed over by Hannah. Jessica logged in to Twitter and started swiping.ããThe top of the trending topics was about Jessica pushing Trissy downstairs at Justin's annoucement banquet. Jessica swiped her phone and read the comments casually. Almost all were scolding Jessica for being vicious. And some people exposed Jessica's ordinary background, saying Jessica was not worthy of a rich person like Lucas. Some even assumed that Jessica might have played some tricks to marry into such a wealthy family.ã

Kendall picked a chicken wing for her, "Did you see it?"Hannah looked down and said, "I looked, and it was pretty good.""Well, I will take a look later."He didn't say much and changed the subject, "Harrington Group's anniversary celebration is tomorrow night, are you available?"Hannah glanced at him, thinking of Madelynn from before, and snorted, "Sure, I can go, right?"Kendall chuckled lightly, "I had actually planned to have you come along.""Anniversary celebration, quite grand, why didn't you say it earlier?"If she had spoken earlier, she would have gone to order a custom-made dress.Kendall looked at her with a half-smile, "Was there a difference?"Hannah hummed and said, "Of course there is a difference! There were a lot of people at the company's anniversary celebration, right? And many people brought their female companions, didn't they? As your partner, how can I let someone else's companion steal the limelight from me?"The so-called "people rely on clothing" is not ap
The atmosphere was already set, there was no way Kendall would let her just easily run away.He reached out and grabbed the back of her head, biting her lips first. Then, his peach blossom eyes slightly lifted, and with a smile, he glanced at her eyes and said, "Give me a kiss."His words sounded more like an announcement than a question.Hannah had no room for resistance and was immediately silenced by him, holding her breath.She just hummed a little, but didn't resist.Parting is better than a new marriage.Although it had only been a short two or three days since they last saw each other, Hannah still missed him. Especially when she saw the amount of money in the card yesterday, she was not only surprised but also deeply moved.Kendall spoke casually, but she also understood that the over one billion three thousand pairs was not a small amount for him now.He had separated from the Hawthorne family and was also unwilling to have any connection with his in-laws. From then on, whate
After Hollis left, Hannah didn't check out either. She called the front desk to extend her stay and then went back to sleep.Last night, Hollis dragged me and I cried all night. Hannah, who was in a deep sleep, slept until after three in the afternoon and was awakened by a call from Kendall.The sunlight outside the window was very good, and the sunlight came in through the gaps in the curtains.As Hannah opened her eyes, she was met with a beam of light, causing her eyes to sting.She hummed subconsciously, and Kendall on the other end of the phone asked, "Where did you run into?"Hannah turned around, with her back facing the sunlight, rubbing her eyes and responding, "No, just woke up, the sunlight was shining in my eyes.""Still at the hotel?""Well, last night Hollis kept me up talking until three o'clock, I was so tired."Over the past two years, Hannah hadn't stayed up late much. Last night, however, she rarely slept until three or four in the morning, essentially pulling an al
Hannah closed the door completely and turned around to find Hollis looking at her.Hollis just went to the bathroom and washed his face. Now he is more awake than before. "Did you record it?""Recorded it, do you want to take a look?""Show me, I want to see who that woman is!"Being able to get her phone number, it's possible that she was someone I knew!Hannah handed her the phone and said as she walked inside, "The person who sent you the message should not be this woman, she is an internet celebrity."She walked over to the sofa and sat down, pouring herself a glass of water. "From what I can see now, your situation isn't the worst. I reckon the woman who sent you the text message has also been deceived by Maverick."Hannah took a sip of water and looked up at Hollis, saying, "Did you take any precautions that night? If not, you should go to the hospital for a check-up."It was not her intention to discourage Hollis, people like Maverick might have some kind of illness.Hollis's f
