Life was unfair.How can someone as shallow and ignorant as Hannah have such extraordinary beauty? It was simply a waste."Oh? Then how should I maintain my beauty?" Hannah asked with an interested smile. She saw how Jane's face contorted with envy. "Well, it's only natural that you should only show yourself in front of others with makeup on. You have to look energetic and radiant. This color is one that men go crazy for in the elite circles this year," Jane said. Her excitement was evident. She opened the lipstick in her hand eagerly."This lipstick is like a magical tool. It can complement a person's complexion very well. Hannah, this shade will look perfect on you. "Try it on. You'll definitely attract the attention of everyone in the room. Come on," Jane urged as she handed the lipstick to Hannah.It was a fluorescent pink lipstick, also known as "Dying Barbie Pink." The color was one that even those who aimed for a perfect Barbie look often struggled to pull off.For pe
Her eyes sparkled as if they were filled with stars.Darren's heart skipped a beat, and he had to look away. Just then, the door opened, and the doctor came in. He said, "Your condition looks alright. It also seems like you still want to keep your legs."The doctor continued in a mocking tone, "I can arrange for your surgery within the next few days if you want." Hannah glanced at his name tag.Dr. Joseph Garner, the orthopedic doctor in charge of Darren's case.He seemed too young to be a specialist."Dr. Garner, how high is the surgery success rate?" Hannah asked."The success rate is higher than if left untreated," Joseph replied with a sardonic laugh. "What? Do you think it's better to just be disabled instead? If that's the case, please leave. Don't waste my time," he continued."Of course not," Hannah replied in exasperation. She knew Joseph was only being so harsh because of a misunderstanding. He thought they had deliberately delayed Darren's treatment, causing h
Misty wore a champagne-colored cocktail dress. She had a diamond-studded tiara perched on her head. She looked like a princess and attracted the attention of most of the guests.Claudia took in her daughter's appearance proudly. She whispered, "Make sure to put on a good performance later. Once you become Ms. Yakes' apprentice, you'll definitely be able to marry into a wealthy family." Misty frowned as though she felt uncomfortable by her mother's blunt words. She replied in an equally low voice, "Mom, stop reminding me. I know what I need to do."Misty was young and beautiful. She looked innocent, yet the look in her eyes was downright predatory. Once she got rid of that disabled man, she could live a better life.Claudia didn't mind Misty's tone. She replied with a smile, "I know. You've always been my pride and joy."Compared to the other guests present, the Emersons were insignificant. It had taken quite a bit of effort on their end just to be able to attend the party. Ja
Everyone was amazed by the new Mrs. Winchester. However, they were surprised to see her so calm, especially in a place where most people didn't have her best intentions in mind.Kenneth had always been a playboy. If Hannah were to fall for his flirting, she would be the laughingstock of the town.The crowd looked on as Kenneth made a move on Hannah. However, none of them stepped forward to help her out of it. Anthony and Andrew stiffened. They tried to stop Kenneth from getting closer. Nina was also anxious, pouting as she tightly held Hannah's arm. Though she looked terrified, she still stuck close to Hannah.On the other hand, Hannah didn't look the slightest bit worried. She even smiled in amusement at her in-laws' behaviors.She flashed them all a look to comfort them. Then, she nodded at Kenneth with a smile. "Mr. Sorsby, we meet again.""Don't be such a stranger, Mrs. Winchester," Kenneth said politely. Then, he lowered his voice and added, "After all, I've already sen
After Hannah's and Nigel's marriage in Hannah's previous life, Nigel had cheated on her with the woman he viewed as his own sister.At that time, she had substantial power and influence in Moore Group. In order to get rid of her, Nigel and Catherine made up fake accounts and accused her of embezzlement.After Hannah revealed their wicked plan, Catherine shoved her down the stairs. It caused her to suffer from a massive blood loss, eventually leading to her demise.Hannah would never forget how the two held each other, discussing how to make her death look like a suicide. It happened while she was lying in a pool of her own blood.The sight of those two bastards standing together was all too familiar to Hannah."So what if I'm being mean?" Hannah asked, scoffing. "He was the one who came up to me in the first place. I didn't force him to talk to me, so it has nothing to do with you.""Mrs. Winchester, you don't have to be so hostile toward me." Catherine was dressed in a light-c
Jeffrey was a man who had been in business for a long time. Because of this, he had a powerful bearing that intimidated Naomi. She couldn't say anything to defend herself. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she stammered, "I'm sorry … I'm really sorry …"Naomi was doomed.She knew that The Winchesters was not what it used to be since Darren became disabled. Right now, she had embarrassed them further. Still, that wasn't the main issue. The main issue was that she had managed to anger the Garners as well.Apart from apologizing, Naomi couldn't say anything else. She could hear the mocking whispers of the people around her, which suffocated her."Wow. How did the Winchesters manage to raise such a troublemaker? What a disappointment to the family.""There's no way that Darren can return to his prime. It's bad enough that he's disabled, but to think that his own sister is causing more trouble for him …""Is this the end of the Winchesters?""It wasn't me … It really wasn't me …" N
Giggles soon came from the crowd. It felt like another slap to Jane. In the end, Jane felt mortified and humiliated. She couldn't stop the tears from flowing down her face as she shoved Hailee away and ran off.Hailee was also embarrassed, though she maintained her smile. "Naomi, Jane has apologized now. So don't be angry anymore, okay?"Jane had indeed apologized. But it didn't mean Naomi had to forgive her.Naomi sniffed. She pushed herself closer to Hannah before calling out, "Hannah …""Are all Winchester daughters such crybabies?" Hannah thought as she patted Naomi's arm. "Those who made mistakes must apologize. It's only right. Still, it wouldn't make sense to force the victim to accept the apology. You're only 19, after all."Someone in the crowd chuckled. Hannah's gaze tracked the sound and saw Joseph standing in the crowd.Dr. Garner was young and talented. But still, how did he manage to attend such an important party? And where was Darren? Also, Darren's surgery …
"If it's something the Winchesters have done wrong, we will take full responsibility." Hannah walked toward the fallen orchid and bent down to pick up the flower. She continued gently, "I've learned how to take care of orchids. I'm willing to try and save it." Orchids were hard to maintain and even harder to keep alive. The effort the breeders put in just to get a Winterfall orchid to live was abysmal. Even a slightly different temperature could cause the orchid to perish. To think that Hannah was saying that she could save it! How ridiculous!Regardless, it was still a ray of hope. Jeffrey wasn't willing to let the orchid stay on the floor for so long either."Nonsense! Do you think I'll believe someone like you?" Jeffrey mocked.Though he admired her, he realized now that she was just as mindless as everyone else. He couldn't help but feel disappointed."Since I've said it, I'll definitely try my best," Hannah replied. She wasn't the slightest bit upset at being underest
