Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love

Until one day when the Hospital Director called her into his office alone.

There, she saw the wealthy lady who often came to the orphanage to do charity work.

It turned out that the necklace belonged to her daughter and was accidentally lost.

And so, the citrine necklace that originally “belonged” to her, was unreasonably taken back by those grown-ups.

That was her necklace, she truly believed.

She found it, so naturally, it should be hers. That’s the way the children in the orphanage understood property rights.

Why should these grown-ups, so easily deprive her of something that rightfully belonged to her?!

It wasn’t until that moment that Hannah finally understood the world.

It turned out that in addition to brute force,

there were power and wealth that could easily trample on others.

She had no power, no wealth, and certainly no strong body.

She was just an orphan, unwanted even by her own parents.

So, her beloved citrine necklace could also be easily taken away by someone else!

Back then, when the director of the orphanage and the wealthy lady took her necklace, they repeatedly said they were doing it for her sake and would keep the matter secret.

They assured her that they wouldn’t tell anyone else that she found a necklace.

The director held her, stroking her head, and said, “Rest assured, child, I will keep it a secret for you and won’t let anyone else know that the necklace is Auntie Gray’s.”

Hah!

These hypocrites, after stealing her necklace, still pretended to care for her well-being!

Luckily for her, her destiny wasn’t completely hopeless. She was found by Bella Scott afterward.

And then, she came across a photo of her wearing the necklace with the orphanage kids.

Later, she met Ethan Wilson…

From then on, her life began to change dramatically.

She had everything rather than her illness. It seemed so perfect as if it wasn’t real.

And now, all the power and wealth were almost within her grasp.

She would never allow anyone to disturb her happiness.

A glimmer of cunning flashed in Hannah’s eyes as she put the citrine necklace in her pocket and left the bedroom without a trace of guilt.

She must find out why the necklace was in Lily Gray’s dressing table.

Who is the true owner of the necklace?

She remembered, Ethan once said that he didn’t find the necklace.

If he had found it, he would have told her.

So…

Hannah’s eyes narrowed.

Could it be that the “spoiled girl” who visited the orphanage a few times when they were kids and aroused the envy of the children was actually Lily Gray?

No, that’s impossible.

She shook her head.

There is no such coincidence in the world.

It must have been acquired by Lily Gray by accident.

If she were really the little girl, she would have recognized Ethan and exposed Hannah’s lie a long time ago.

That’s right. She shouldn’t panic. That must be the case.

Hannah comforted herself, quickly returned to her room with the citrine necklace.

That night, Ethan didn’t come back.

It wasn’t until the next day that Hannah heard the news from Mrs. Holbrook.

“What, Mrs. Holbrook… you’re saying Ethan had been attacked last night?”

“Yes,” Mrs. Holbrook nodded, “I’m not sure about the details. In the meantime, the Madam is worrying and has already arranged for Ethan to move to the old manor for her to personally take care of him.”

“How is that possible? In A City, someone dares to attack Ethan? How is he now? Is he alright? …Mrs. Holbrook, can I go see him, please?”
