Chapter 1 The Request

"Hannah Emerson, you listen to me! You are getting married today, no matter what!Those were the familiar words Hannah heard the moment she regained consciousness. She pinched herself—it stung. Hannah felt an overwhelming mixture of joy and disbelief.She rushed to the bathroom. Staring at the mirror, she saw a defiant young woman. She almost cried. She was currently 20 years old! Had she been reborn? "Hannah Emerson! Are you even listening to me?" The man was furious. He was shouting as he charged toward her. He pulled Hannah back forcefully while exclaiming, "Those who grow up in the slums really have no manners!""Dad, don't be mad." A gentle-looking woman held onto him. She said softly, "Hannah just woke up. She's probably still upset. Don't get mad. Please, talk nicely to her …"That was the familiar voice of that two-faced bitch …Hannah's gaze darkened. She retorted sarcastically, "How could I have any manners? Everyone knows very well that I grew up without

Chapter 2 Rejection

The person who ran up to her had a cheerful disposition and an innocent face. Seeing him, Hannah fell into a momentary trance. She murmured, "Nigel …" Nigel Moore was so anxious that his eyes had already reddened."I heard everything. Are you really going to marry that cripple from the Winchester family? Hannah, I know you don't want this. Will you … marry me instead? I like you. I really like you!" These words overlapped with his confession in her previous life. Back then, Hannah had been the hero, saving the handsome Nigel. For some reason, Nigel had found himself alone in the back alleys of West Lane. He looked like a young wealthy scion, so the thugs quickly surrounded him in an attempt to rob him. Hannah had come to his rescue. That was how the two people, who would otherwise have never crossed paths, became friends. In her previous life, the 20-year-old Hannah was a mix of insecurities and determination. She was also filled with hatred and resentment toward the Eme

Chapter 3 How Much

Hannah knocked on the door, only to be met with complete silence."Mr. Winchester, if you don't mind, I'm coming in now." The nearby maids looked at Hannah in shock as she opened the door and entered the room. Although it was noon, the room was dark and gloomy as thick curtains had blocked out all the sunlight. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Winchester. I believe we should introduce ourselves to get to know each other." Hannah took the initiative and calmly switched on the lights. She continued, "I'm—""Get out!" a deep and hoarse voice roared angrily as the room lit up.At the far end of the room, Hannah saw a somewhat scrawny man sitting in a wheelchair. He glared at her with an overwhelming intensity. The menacing gaze could cause anyone to shudder.Despite that, Hannah remained unfazed. She began to size Darren Winchester up. Clearly, he had not been doing well these days. His cheeks had sunken, and his hair was somewhat disheveled. However, it didn't diminish his handsome

Chapter 4 What's Wrong

Hannah and Bryan went downstairs. Nigel had grown impatient with the waiting. He felt glad when he heard footsteps. "Hannah, you're finally here. I—"Yet, Hannah brushed past him without a glance."What happened to you, Hannah?" Nigel stood before her and blocked her way. "Why are you giving me a cold shoulder all of a sudden? You—""What are you standing there for?" Looking stern, Hannah said to the maids, "Did the Winchesters hire you for fun?"Despite Hannah's gorgeous looks, she exuded an undeniable sense of authority when she looked strict.Trembling, the maids hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Nigel out of Hannah's way. Then, they curtsied respectfully at her while saying, "This way please, Madam."Bryan's eyes glinted as he watched Hannah walking away gracefully. Then, he followed her out of the house.…Andrew sat at the school office. He had bruises on the corner of his mouth. His torn pants were dirty, and his T-shirt had holes in them. It was unclear whether

Chapter 5 Embarrassing

Kenneth ran his tongue over his teeth as he pondered. Was Hannah upset that he had personally come over to escalate the issue?Hannah was rumored to have come from the slums with a poor education. Kenneth's first meeting with her was truly an eye-opening experience.Kenneth chuckled in response. "So, according to what you've said, I'm the one who's making a big fuss now?" He leaned forward and smiled. "Then again, if a gorgeous babe like you claims that I'm the one at fault, then I'll accept it."His words were slightly flippant. Hannah frowned instantly.Kenneth truly lived up to his reputation as a wolf in sheep's clothing in the business world. His smile might seem warm and friendly, but he could be ruthless when dealing with people."You seem to be in a good mood, Mr. Sorsby," a cold voice rang out at that moment.Darren glanced at Kenneth disdainfully from his wheelchair at the stairway. He mocked, "Why don't you argue with Andrew instead?"Was it necessary for Kennet

Chapter 6 Dinner

Under the maids' gazes of disbelief, Hannah took Darren downstairs using the elevator.Andrew, who was sitting at the dining table while looking bored, tensed up suddenly. He stuttered, "D-Darren."Darren glanced at him without replying.A maid eagerly removed a chair from the table.Hannah had just arrived at the household for a short while. Yet, the maids were already treating her exceptionally well. Hannah didn't take her seat. She asked, "Where's Nina?""Ms. Nina usually has her meals in her bedroom," Mrs. Tate replied. "Her room is on the fourth floor.""You may serve dinner after Kaden has returned from school," Hannah said. "I'll call Nina."…When Hannah reached the fourth floor, she could hear a faint piano melody. It was melodic yet depressing.She knocked on the door after listening for a moment. Suddenly, the music broke into chaos, and the piano produced a heavy, jarring buzz.After that, silence fell.The door wasn't open. Hannah patiently knocked again. "Ope

Chapter 7 Coming Home

"Mr. Kaden." Mrs. Tate handed over a small, delicate box cautiously. "Madam had this box delivered here first thing in the morning."Only the maids knew how challenging it was to attend to Kaden behind his obedient demeanor."I almost forgot." Hannah seemed to remember it just now. She smiled and tapped her earlobe. "Don't put random things in your ear piercings. Wear these earrings instead. They're subtle."To Hannah, she had done something insignificant for Kaden.Kaden held the small box quietly, not knowing what to feel.A while later, Hannah shot him a puzzled look. It was then he finally opened the box carefully.It was a pair of silver studs with only a tiny speck of diamond embedded on the front.Those delicate studs matched him well.Kaden smiled and said, "Thank you, Hannah. I like them a lot.""Hannah, what did you prepare for him?" Andrew, who had woken up unusually early, noticed Hannah and Kaden as soon as he came downstairs. He exclaimed, "What about me?"

Chapter 8 A Lesson

"Didn't I tell you to never smoke ever again?" Hannah grumbled."I still smoke occasionally," Flynn replied. He extinguished the cigarette when he saw her approaching. "Are you … doing well?"Hannah had kept the news of her sudden marriage quiet. It was a done deal by the time her friends knew about it."If he dares to mistreat you, I ..." A brutal glint streaked across Flynn's eyes as he crushed the cigarette with his foot. His gaze soon shifted into one of blood lust."What will you do?" Hannah's heart skipped a beat. She narrowed her eyes while demanding, "Tell me."At the same time, Hannah recalled her previous life. She had seen the bald and skinny Flynn in a prisoner's uniform locked behind the bars, his countenance silent as ever.The memory made a surge of anger rise within her. Her brows now tangled into a deep frown, Hannah exclaimed, "Flynn, promise me you'll stay away from those thugs!"Could it be that he was getting involved with the thugs now?"I—no!" Fly

Chapter 9 Asking For It

"How much do you want? Name your price—" Jude gritted his teeth. He was prepared to part with a large sum when a harsh stomp on his back abruptly cut him short. "Shh … quiet."Hannah raised her index finger to her lips and smiled. She spoke to her phone, "Hello, 911? I want to report a crime.""You motherfucker! This is a gang dispute! How could you call the fucking cops?" Try as he might, Jude couldn't understand her intentions. "Do you know how many rules you just broke?" he grumbled as he was taken away. One of his eyes was swollen."I don't give a shit about your rules." Hannah clenched her fists impatiently. She delivered a swift blow to his other eye. Soon enough, both eyes had matching bruises. "To me, the law is the rules. Now go to the detention center quietly, dickhead!"Jude was an ordinary thug in the red-light district. Other than the protection fees he demanded, he wasn't involved in anything too serious.His trip to the police station was an opportunity fo

Chapter 10 The Pillar of Our Family

Darren was crippled, but the Winchesters relied on his reputation to thrive.To someone with ulterior motives, Kenneth sending flowers to Darren's wife might not be as simple as a gesture of goodwill. After all, scandalous news was prevalent in high society. Should anyone wish to create a stir in Hopeldon's financial world, this was the way to go. Beauty could often be dangerous, too.Kenneth's voice was cold when he spoke again. "I'm used to my carefree life. Serious financial newspapers hardly suit my temperament. "Have dinner with me tomorrow night, Mrs. Winchester. Now that would make for some juicy tabloid headlines." He would hardly lose anything from being at the center of some rumors with a beautiful lady.Hannah was about to speak when a faint, refreshing scent of pine brushed against her. Darren was seated in his wheelchair. His voice was icy as he suggested, "If dinner is what you want, Mr. Sorsby, how about the two of us dine together instead?"His words rende
