It was chaos at the police station. Darren carefully helped clean Hannah's wounds. When he dabbed some antiseptic, sparks of pain danced through her fingers.Still, she remained unbothered, a serene look upon her face."Ms. Emerson." A middle-aged police officer came in, his gaze tired. "Those men know nothing. They've only been receiving one-sided instructions from Jane Wilfare all this time. You may go home now that your statements have been made."No one expected something like this to happen. The sudden explosion earlier had ended the lives of both Jane and the female officer who arrested her, as well as two other officers. "Have there been any results after examining the vehicle?" Hannah asked quietly. "Did someone tamper with its system?"The officer wiped away some sweat and replied glumly, "More like the valve system was worn out, in addition to an oil leak in the engine … "Tears began to flood in his eyes as he stopped talking. The two junior officers who'd died in

Darren was being so careful about such a minor injury.Hannah found it amusing, yet also incredibly touching. She cooperated with him as he tended to her wounds.After Darren was done with her arm, he then bandaged her fingertips before coming to a stop.He sat cross-legged on the floor, eyes downcast. Feeling playful, Hannah reached out with her right hand to touch his lashes.The ticklish sensation made Darren blink."Mr. Winchester," she sighed. "I've made you worry yet again.""All that matters is that you're home safe." Darren held her hand, kissing her fingertips. "Do whatever you please, Hannah. I'll be sure to keep you safe."He had always been cold and indifferent to things, including his siblings and everyone else. But Hannah was different.Hannah cared about many things—her family, her friends—she even cared about Darren, whom she'd met only because they were married on paper. She would give charity to help those in need. She was like an everlasting flame, selfless

"Do you know where you're standing right now?" Misty asked proudly. "This is Cromer Academy. It's not just any school you can bribe your way into. Where did you get this uniform? Did you have someone make a fake one?"She sneered, saying haughtily, "Our school is very strict. I suggest you leave first before you embarrass yourself when the guards stop you from entering."Hannah was nothing more than a lowlife from the slums who never even finished her first year of college. How could she have gotten into Cromer Academy? She didn't think bribing her way into this academy would work, right?"Do you know her, Misty?" a student asked curiously. "Is she a new student?"Most of the students at Cromer Academy stayed away from the gossip and news amongst the socialite groups, preferring to devote themselves to their own talents instead. They all had bright futures ahead of them after all. They were able to make their family proud with their own singular achievements, so there was no need t

No one would waste their time with unnecessary things in such a period.The homeroom teacher informed them of their first test which would be held tomorrow before leaving the class. A dark glint flashed in Morgan's eyes before she went up to Hannah's desk. All the students' attention swiftly turned to the two of them."Can I help you?" Hannah asked, meeting her gaze.Though Hannah was sitting down, it was as if she was the menacing one there."Hannah Winchester, right?" Morgan asked arrogantly. "This is Cromer Academy, where we use our efforts and skills to stand our ground. If you think you can just pull some strings and get your way—think again!""I don't think I've ever said anything about pulling strings, have I, Morgan?" Hannah said, amused by Morgan's hostility. "What do you mean by this sudden proclamation? We're both transfer students. Are we supposed to be rivals?""You and I are not remotely the same, so don't you dare compare us!" Morgan scowled. "Those tricks of you

Misty was crying so much she was shaking. She refused to let anyone get closer."That's enough. Go along now!" The teacher dispersed the crowd and then had some of the students hand Misty clothes to wrap around herself.Only then did she manage to head to the staff office.All students in Cromer Academy came from educated backgrounds and exceptional talent. Most of the arguments between them at most only amounted to quarrels. Hence this was the first time the teacher faced such a situation.Unfortunately, one of the parties involved couldn't stop crying while the other remained proud and not the least bit regretful."We'll call your parents," the teacher finally decided.After receiving the call, Matthew angrily made his way to the school with Claudia.Upon seeing both his daughters in the office, he forced a polite handshake with the teacher before asking sullenly, "What's going on?""Dad …" Misty wept even more upon seeing him. She dove into his arms, crying, "I only wanted t
