No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!

In her pursuit of saving enough money to return home, Hannah found herself playing the role of the "first-love" character in a beloved novel. Originally, this character was a typical stand-in supporting actress, taking on various substitutes for the female lead as dictated by the male protagonists, such as donating kidneys or sparing road for the female lead, which she all agreed. Eventually, the original character succumbed to the pressure, turning dark and meeting a tragic demise with a disfigured face on the streets after being killed by the male protagonists. Hannah's task was to follow this grim plotline and achieve the tragic story's intended outcome. However, in the eyes of George River, she was merely a substitute he had enlisted—an entity dependent on him. When his true love returned, he callously abandoned the woman who deeply loved him. Later, he regretted his decision, only to discover that the once-begging woman was now surrounded by various exceptional men. The individuals who had previously used her as a shield—the movie king, the ambitious young actor who climbed over her for his ideal goddess, and the president who regretted his actions upon regaining his memory—all found themselves humbly pleading for her affection: "Hannah, the one I love is you." Confused by the sudden turn of events, Hannah observed her bank account steadily growing and stumbled upon a newfound skill for crafting tragic stories. As the main antagonist who successfully survived until the end of the story, Arnold Simmons was ruthless, dark, and violent. In his eyes, Hannah appeared to be the most naive woman he had ever encountered, her thoughts consumed solely by love. Witnessing her continuous deception by those around her, Arnold eventually reached a breaking point and seized her, declaring, "Stay by my side; let me handle your tasks." [A seemingly fragile flower with an inner strength, Daughter of the Sea, crosses paths with an obsessed, dark, and sinister antagonist who contemplates disrupting the pond of bred fish every day.]

Chapter 1029: Half a Heartthrob

The Simmons Family could reach their present status thanks to his control. Within just a few years, he had turned the near-bankrupt Simmons Family into the powerhouse it is today, becoming a legend in the process.

However, people really started to pay attention to him perhaps more so because of the suspicions that he murdered his own father and brother.

After all, gossip about wealthy families has always been something people relished.

Though the police eventually issued a statement proving his innocence, there were still those who favored conspiracy theories.

For some people, wealth equates to being unscrupulous, and having money is a sin itself.

Hannah pushed her glasses up on her nose and looked at Jack Stewart, who was daydreaming, and wondered aloud, "So you knew him, did you?"

Jack Stewart bowed his head, "Rumors say he is over fifty, with graying hair, and very greasy."

Only after finishing his words did Jack Stewart lift his head, not daring to meet Hannah's gaze.
