Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth

Chapter 288 Entering the Wrong Room

Chapter 288 Entering the Wrong Room

Oscar took the basin to the bathroom, and Max brought in some desserts at that moment.

Hannah finished the desserts in big gulps. When she was about to go to sleep, the phone rang

suddenly.

Oscar came out of the bathroom. Hearing the ring, his expression changed significantly, "Who's calling

you at this hour?"

"Manuel." Hannah answered.

Oscar frowned.

"I'll go to the balcony and answer the call." As she said, she walked straight to the balcony.

Oscar pursed his lips. In the end, he chose not to think too much.

On the balcony, Hannah answered the call, "Hi, Manuel." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"Did you Sleep?"

"Thanks to Oscar, I'm still awake." Hannah answered in a helpless tone.

If Oscar hadn't done all these, she'd be asleep by now.

"Did I bother you two?" Manuel asked quickly.

Obviously, there was a misunderstanding.

"No, it's not what you think," she felt awkward and explained.

"What do I think?" Manuel laughed. He was not a person who likes to joke, but now, he was making fun

of her.

"Anyway, it's not what you are thinking now." Hannah didn't want to explain more because she felt the

more she explained, the worse it would be. She changed the subject directly, "Why did you call me at

this hour?"

"Because I wanted to talk to you about Susan."

"Tell me." She felt it should be the time to talk to Manuel about Susan as well.

"I met Susan's father tonight. He wanted Susan to go to Phillips Bank, but Susan didn't listen to him at

all. I believe that, besides Henry, in the whole world, you are the one who has the most possibility to

persuade Susan to join Phillips Bank."

"Why do you want Susan to go to work there?" Hannah asked back.

"Susan is the only daughter of Edward. Phillips Bank will be hers in the future. If she cannot learn to

work there now, how can she take it over in the future?"

"You are not only worried about whether Susan can take over Phillips Bank, but also, even more,

worried about whether Henry will take Phillips Bank as his own, right?" Hannah cut to the point.

Manuel was a little stunned. Probably he didn't expect her would think so.

"Why didn't you tell Susan about this?" Hannah asked Manuel.

She hadn't intervened in their affairs because she wanted to respect Manuel's choice.

Manuel was indeed protecting Susan, protecting her in the best way he could and not letting her get a

little bit hurt. However, this kind of excessive protection was to keep all the harm to himself. He stood

up to everything.

"What do you know?" Manuel asked Hannah.

"I know all you know." Hannah answered.

Manuel remained silent for a long time. He thought he was the only one who knew about it.

Was Hannah on his side so unconditionally because she knew about all of this?

"Actually, you may consider telling Susan everything. She is not so weak as you think." Hannah

suggested.

"If I told you that I wanted Susan to fall in love with me first and then tell her about it, would you think I

overestimated myself?" Manuel asked suddenly.

Hannah smiled, "No."

"Susan has always thought that Henry is the person who treats her the best. She hates her father and

she hates me. It is not easy for her to find someone she likes so much, so I don't want her to know that

he has been laying to her all the time. But if she fell in love with me someday, she wouldn't feel that she

was being hurt by the world." Manuel explained.

Hannah knew it. He would think like that. But when would Susan understand all Manuel did for her?

When exactly did Susan fall in love with Manuel?

In her previous life, she didn't know it until she saw Susan' last message after Susan's death. Susan

loved Manuel.

"Henry is indeed planning something bad, but I can't do anything to him now. For Susan, the more

miserable Henry is, the harder she could not let him go. I'm just hoping that Susan can have something

to do and change her focus on life to work. And anyway, she needs to take over Phillips Bank

someday."

"Have you ever thought about managing it for her?" Hannah asked.

"Not at this moment." Manuel answered, "If I join Phillips Bank now, she will only assume that I want

her family's property."

"Manuel, I don't even know what to say to you." Hannah sighed.

She felt so sorry for Manuel to the point that she had the impulse to beat Susan up.

Why couldn't she understand which man loved her the most?

"Anyway, this is the reason I bothered you." Manuel didn't seem to mind that. His kindness towards

Susan seemed to come from his instinct. It was from the bottom of his inwards, wanting to be good to

her. How deeply did he love her to make him endure everything without regrets.

She once loved Charles but she thought of getting repaid. At least, it was because Charles treated her

well on some level although it was fake. How could anyone be so stupid as Manuel?

"I will try to persuade Susan," she said, "but you know her, even if she agrees to go to work, she might

not take the job seriously anyway."

"It'd be better than drinking and hanging around the bar every day."

"Does she still go to nightclubs often?" Hannah frowned.

"Kind of like that."

"Did she go tonight?" Hannah couldn't help asking.

"Yes."

Hannah hoped she could grow up. Susan left the banquet early today, compromised and left with

Manuel. Hannah didn't expect that they left together, yet got apart afterwards. There was no difference

between them leaving together and her leaving alone.

"Not back yet?" Hannah was a little angry.

"Not yet... It seems she just arrived." Manuel paused and said, "I heard the sound of the door opening."

"Okay, I got what you want already. I'll talk to her tomorrow. You should get some rest now."

"Thanks a lot." Manuel replied politely.

"Nah. Goodnight."

"Good night."

Manuel hung up. Nor did he get up to see Susan. After all, his legs were disabled, and it was difficult

for him to get in and out of bed. Recently, Susan always came back so late and he got used to it

already. He even turned off the light in the room and lay down directly.

With his eyes closed, he felt that everything around was quiet until the door was pushed open

suddenly. Then he saw someone jump directly onto his bed in the darkness.

She pounced on Manuel.

Manuel pursed his lips. In addition to feeling unexpected pains, he also smelled alcohol.

So was Susan drunk tonight? That made sense. If she wasn't drunk, she wouldn't have walked into his

room.
