“That’s good, that’s good.” Edward seemed a little disappointed, and he thought she would feel at least
a little bit sad because of the divorce. But as long as she was doing well, it was okay for him.
Manuel could understand how Edward felt. If Edward knew that Justine had never loved him, he might
feel it unacceptable. So their divorce forced by Susan would only have an impact on Edward. As for
Justine, she didn’t care too much.
“Let’s go, I’ll introduce you to some friends from the business. It may be beneficial if you would like to
join Phillips Bank someday.”
“No, thank you, Dad. I have no plans for that yet, but I think Susan can make plans in this regard. After
all, it is not a good idea to give Henry too much power in managing Phillips Bank.”
“I know,” Edward nodded, “but Susan doesn’t want to manage the company at all, and I can’t force her.”
“I’ll see what I can do.”
“Thanks.” Edward quickly replied, “If Susan would like to join the company, that’d be better. The whole
family business will be left to her in the end.”
“Yes.” Manuel nodded.
Edward was chatting with Manuel. Susan had seen them from a long distance away, and she hid from
them on purpose, not wanting to appear in front of them.
She felt annoyed, seeing her dad getting along with Manuel. They were the two men she hated the
most in the world. It was not a surprise that similar people got along well.
She turned and looked around. Although she just said some extreme things to Henry, she couldn’t stop
having some expectations of him after she left him.
Henry was standing in a corner and he nearly didn’t interact with other people. Seeing this, Susan
couldn’t stop thinking that he probably felt inferior when dealing with business entertainment while he
was not good at this. Susan felt a bit sorry for him for no reason.
She was the one who sent Henry to the Phillips Bank. At that time, she didn’t want her family’s property
being taken over by Justine and her son, and that was the reason she sent Henry to take over Phillips
Bank in advance. She never expected that she would not be with Henry in the end.
She even wondered whether Henry’s current situation in Phillips Bank would be embarrassing. Would
he be laughed at? The more she thought about it, the more she felt uncomfortable, and the more she
wanted to get closer to Henry. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
But she couldn’t get close.
What was the point of getting closer by now as she was the wife of Manuel already? It would only make
it sadder. So she turned around and walked towards Hannah.
At that moment, Hannah was holding Oscar’s arm. They, a talented man and a beautiful woman, were
the spotlight of the audience. People would notice them even from a long
distance.
“Hannah,” Susan called her.
Hannah looked at Susan, whispered something to Oscar, let go of Oscar’s arm, and walked aside with
Susan. Oscar didn’t mind that and he continued to socialize with people who’ came and went.
“I want to leave now.” Susan said directly.
“Leaving so early?”
“Staying is no fun.”
Hannah thought that this kind of business entertainment was boring and she said, “You may leave with
Manuel ahead.”
“I want to go by myself…” Under the pressure of Hannah’s look, Susan compromised and replied
reluctantly, “All right.”
Hannah then smiled.
“Be careful on your way back,” she said.
“Okay.”
Susan left. She walked towards Manuel, and then pushed him out of the banquet hall.
Hannah watched Susan and Manuel leave. But she didn’t go back to Oscar immediately, instead, she
went to restore her makeup in the restroom. She took out her foundation and lightly powdered it on her
face.
Mary suddenly walked out of the toilet. She seemed a little surprised to see Hannah. But in the next
second, she called her with an easy tone and even a bit flattering, “Hi, Hannah.”
Hannah glanced at Mary. Then she asked, “How’s grandma?”
Mary didn’t expect that Hannah would ask about Lorie first.
“She is not in a good mood.” Mary spoke frankly.
She didn’t mention a little bit of their grandma smashing everything in the house after she got insulted
in public and returned home. She was utterly pissed off.
“Are
you still living with them?” Hannah asked.
“Yes. Esther is very nice to me. Although Dad is in jail now, she still takes me in.”
Hannah sneered. Mary was so good at pretending.
Esther took Mary in. It was just a show for outsiders. Without Roger, Mary would never have had an
easy life with Esther.
“Think carefully about your future and what to do with it.” Hannah didn’t try to expose it.
She only gave her point.
Mary pretended that she couldn’t understand what Hannah meant.
“Contact me after you think it over.” Hannah smiled.
Hannah just knew that Mary understood what she was saying.
There was little doubt in her mind and she knew very well that, after Roger got to prison, she would
never have an easy life with Lorie, Esther and Wayne. Her only option was to leave them, but once she
left them, she would have nothing left. She didn’t feel that was fair but felt reluctant. But if she tried to
curry favour with Hannah right now, she was afraid that Hannah would think that she was too realistic
and that would destroy her insoluble and kind image. So she thought she still had to endure the
torment of Lorie, Esther and Wayne temporarily.
Hannah also knew what Mary was concerned about. No matter how Mary acted, she could never really
trust her. She knew exactly how arrogant and cruel Mary was in her previous life. That she deliberately
be nice to Mary only because she would be useful at some point. Meanwhile, she could also complete
her revenge for the deep hatred in her previous life!
Hannah put her foundation into her sophisticated bag and walked out.
For Hannah, she didn’t need to put too much effort into it and Mary would throw herself into the trap.
The banquet lasted until midnight. And finally, all the guests left. Hannah started rubbing her shoulder,
looking a little tired and less tense, and being a bit causal with her image.
Miguel and Michelle were a bit tired as well.
“Oscar, Hannah, you must be exhausted now.” Miguel said.
“I’m fine.” Oscar quickly answered.
“I’m fine too. But you two are getting old. You should go back and take some rest now.” Hannah urged.
At that moment, the car was parked in front and waiting for them.
“Who says we are getting old?” Miguel asked dotingly.
Hannah smiled, “Okay, okay, you are still young enough to give me younger siblings.”
“Hannah.” Michelle was teased by her daughter, and her face turned red.
“It’s getting late. You should hurry back and get some sleep now.” Hannah urged again. She was
worried about them getting too tired.
Miguel didn’t refuse again, “You should go back early too. Don’t stay up late after you go back,
especially you, Hannah…”
“Okay, okay, you only need to take care of my mom. I have Oscar, he will take care of me. Don’t worry
about it.”
Miguel was a little speechless, yet he took Michelle’s hand and got into the car first.
Looking at their backs, Hannah felt that she was so lucky to live one more time. Otherwise, how could
she see such a beautiful scene of her parents?
