    Hannah chuckled and said, “Alright, keep on ranting until you blow off all your steam.”


    The more indifferent Hannah appeared, the more pissed Dani became. She said, “Hannah, you’re


    thinking Steven is going to rush in and save you, aren’t you? You think I wouldn’t dare to do anything to


    you?”


    Hannah retorted, “Am I allowed to think that?”


    Dani was so incensed she couldn’t stand it, saying, “Stop daydreaming. Do you think I’dy a finger


    on you without Steven’s permission? Before I made any move, I spoke to him. I took actions only after


    he gave me the green light.”


    Hannah frowned, “Really?”


    Though she had anticipated the harsh reality, hearing it straight from the her mouth still felt like a punch


    to the gut. Thanks to her acting experience, she managed to keep a straight face despite the turmoil


    within her.


    Dani challenged, “Don’t believe me? Why don’t you give Steven a call and ask him yourself?”


    Hannah replied, “Well, I hate to break it to you, but I already tried calling him. Unfortunately, President


    Dixon’s phone is off. I couldn’t reach him. You happen to have another way of contacting him? Mind


    giving me a hand?”


    Dani had met shameless people but Hannah took the cake. She wondered if the woman was


    ying dumb on purpose.


    Not only did she dare to contact Steven, she even asked her to help. She was so infuriated she wished


    she could strangle Hannah. “You’ve got some nerve! Shameless!” She cursed.


    Hannah shot back, “Shamelessness is invincibility. If I could get in with President Dixon, I’ll be on easy


    street. Why wouldn’t I go for it? What’s dignity worth anyway? It’s because I care about my dignity that


    I’m being stepped on by people like you.”


    Dani conceded, “You do understand your predicament.”


    Hannah admitted, “That might be my only redeeming quality.”


    Dani asked, “Do you know why I called you here?”


    Hannah guessed, “To tell me to leave Harbor City and never see President Dixon again?”


    Dani confirmed, “You’ve got it.”


    Hannah added, “It’s not really that I got it. It’s just that I’ve acted in a simr storyline. The viiness


    bullies the heroine and tries to kick her out of the hero’s house.”


    Dani’s face darkened, “Are you calling me a viiness?”


    Hannah rified, “Let me finish. In the drama, the hero saves the heroine in the nick of time and


    punishes the viiness. But in real life, I’m not the heroine, and the hero won’te to my rescue. I


    know exactly where I stand.”


    Dani sometimes admired Hannah’s candor. “You’re right. In dramas, you can be the lead. In real life,


    you’re just an extra.” She said. Hannah gave a small smile, saying, “True, I’m just an extra in real life.”


    She had been an extra in life for over 20 years. Now, she wanted to be the star of her own life, living


    freely and not being anyone’s puppet.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    Dani asked, “Are you going to leave or stay?”


    Hannah replied, “If I don’t leave, would there be any other options for me? If not, why wouldn’t I leave?”


    Dani instructed, “Then leave immediately. Stay away and never reappear in Steven’s life. I don’t


    want to be reminded of your past rtionship with him when we get married.”


    Hannah responded, “We haven’t even discussed terms yet, and you’re already asking me to leave.”


    Dani questioned, “You don’t want to leave?”


    Hannah proposed, “I canply with your demand to stay far away and never reappear in Steven’s


    life. But first, you’ll have to help me shift the tide of public opinion.”


    Dani challenged, “Hannah, why should I help you?”
