All Chapters of Why the Crocodile Tears?: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

"Yeah." Anathea nodded, but a flicker of hesitation passed in her eyes.After all, this little life, which had fought so hard to come into the world, hadn't been lost even when Gregory had tried to force himself onto her or when Natalie had pushed her. Deep down, she felt a twinge of reluctance. "I think I'll think about it again.""I'll support whatever decision you make." Hannah placed both hands on Anathea's shoulders and looked into her eyes before saying seriously, "But let me say this. This child is yours, and the choice is yours alone. Don't let Gregory influence you into giving up on something that's yours."As a friend, she truly didn't want to see Anathea so lonely, which was why she urged the latter to think carefully. But if Anathea remained firm in her decision, she wouldn't say anything more.Anathea nodded. "Thank you, Hannah."She was grateful for Hannah's visit and the comfort and support she'd offered during her hardest moments."No need for thanks." Hannah pu

At once, the noisy crowd fell silent. They could all feel the overwhelming pressure in the air, which made it hard to breathe.And it wasn't just from one source.Dominic stood next to Gregory. He gave a cold glance at those who were trying to lay a hand on Hannah and raised a finger.The next second, several bodyguards in sharp suits surrounded them, forming an intimidating wall that forced the crowd back."Who said they wanted to kick my woman out?" Dominic's voice wasn't as cold as Gregory's, but it had a power that made the crowd swallow nervously.They looked at each other in silence. When they saw the towering bodyguards, their legs began to shake uncontrollably."Get lost!" Dominic's voice rang out. Like a herd of scared animals, the onlookers scattered in all directions.Hannah, watching Dominic step in for her, was momentarily surprised. But she didn't look at him for long. She quickly shifted her focus to Anathea. "Thea, are you okay?"Anathea took a step forward, ful

Eleanor let out a sneer. "So it's true. You're actually protecting her now. Have you forgotten the cheap tricks she used to marry you in the first place? And now you're feeling sorry for her? Has your scar faded with time?""I'm just stating the facts," Gregory said coldly as he looked at her. "You took the surveillance footage from the consultation room, didn't you?"Eleanor was stunned for a moment. A flicker of guilt flashed through her eyes. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Really?" Gregory could already see the answer on her face, but he chose not to call her out on it.He knew that if Eleanor had taken the footage, it meant what was on it wasn't in their favor, which in turn meant Anathea probably hadn't attacked Natalie without reason. In fact, it might've even been self-defense.That was why Eleanor had rushed to have Anathea arrested before anyone could find out. With no evidence, she thought she could pressure Anathea into a confession.Gregory didn't lay all

Hannah knew she was asking for a lot, but she just wanted to ensure Anathea had a place to stay in Syntherra.In fact, with her current salary, she could already afford a nice house in the suburbs of Syntherra, but what she really wanted was a property downtown. It was a prime area with top-tier security and environment.More importantly, she wanted Dominic to provide it. She was looking to use his influence to protect Anathea and Fiona. That was her main goal.Dominic was the only person she knew who could stand toe-to-toe with Gregory in terms of power and influence.So, she softened her tone and rested her slender fingers on his chest. Her voice was soft, like a spring breeze, laced with an alluring charm. "100 million dollars may seem like a lot to most people, but to you, it's just pocket change. Surely, you wouldn't be so stingy, would you, Mr. Lancaster?"Dominic's eyes darkened as he stared at her.Seeing an opening, Hannah leaned in to kiss him.But Dominic quickly held

"Anathea! How can you say that?" Hannah flicked Anathea on the forehead. With a righteous tone, she exclaimed, "I'm a good, tax-paying citizen!""But how did you afford to buy this place?" Anathea knew very well that property in downtown Syntherra easily cost tens of millions, if not more.Hannah had been traveling around the country and even abroad for work. She was barely ever home, so it didn't make sense for her to waste money on a penthouse like that."I liked it, so I bought it." Hannah pushed down the diffidence in her eyes.She shrugged and continued casually, "My job pays well. I can spend it now and earn more later. Plus, I just want you and Mrs. Jacobson to have a nice place to stay. That way, I can rest easy."Anathea remained doubtful but took her hand and said earnestly, "Hannah, you've already done so much for me. I don't want you to sacrifice more for me. It hurts me to see you like that."Anathea understood the struggles Hannah faced in the entertainment industry
