After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 10

The Cooper Residence was not situated in Kensbury City.

It was situated in a town outside the suburban area and the old mansion basically occupied half of the town area.

A lot of towns had lost their original looks due to exploitation, only the town where the Cooper’s old mansion located still kept all its quaint buildings.

There were property developers who wanted to purchase the old mansion in the first place too, and they certainly could not reach a consensus regarding the price. Since the urban planning bureau found it impossible to exploit there, they came up with a great idea to make it a tourist spot, and they did successfully attract many tourists. The main gate of the old mansion had frequently appeared on Internet celebrities’ social media pages, hence the place gradually became a hot spot for Internet celebrities to take pictures.

Hannah and Michelle entered the Cooper’s old mansion.

Meanwhile, the only elder of the Cooper’s, the old Mrs Cooper, Lorie Cox was sitting in the middlemost spot of the main house and she looked terrible.

Roger and his family were sitting at both sides.

Roger actually had his own villa in the city, yet to show that he was a good son, he let the whole family move back to the old mansion in recent years.

Hannah looked around and greeted her, “Good afternoon, granny.”

“I only ask you to come, why did you let her follow?” Lorie did not intend to be kind to her at all and she straightaway chastised her, “Why, are you scared that I’ll bully you!”

“Of course not, mother. It’s just that after knowing you’ve asked Hannah to come here, and it’s been so long not seeing you, I want to visit you,” Michelle quickly explained.

“Why, Michelle, I didn’t see you prepare any gift when you pay your visit here. How sincere!” Esther teased and her face was full of contempt.

Hannah turned and glanced at her.

She cooperated with her when she helped her to criticize Mary back then, yet she instantly changed her attitude when she wanted to gain the old lady’s favor.

“Who says we didn’t prepare any gift for granny?” Hannah retorted.

“Then where’s the gift? Take it out!” Esther sounded aggressive.

Michelle felt slightly awkward.

Due to the rush, she did not make too many considerations before coming.

She did feel a little embarrassed when they were questioned like that.

She tossed Hannah a look, wanting her to endure it.

Michelle had always endured Lorie and the family’s rude attitude whenever she encountered them.

As Hannah was going to speak, Lorie chimed in, “Who would appreciate her thing!”

Hannah pursed her lips and said straightforwardly, “Is there anything granny wants me to do here? If not, I’ll have to leave and stop wasting our time.”

She held her mother’s arm and was ready to leave.

“You stand there!” Lorie bawled. “Did I agree to let you leave? What a rude brat, you’re indeed raised by an uneducated slut. You don’t even know the basic etiquette!”

She was clearly teasing Michelle’s family background.

Michelle indeed felt sad when she heard that. Hannah had seen the rim of her mother’s eyes red when she returned from the Cooper’s old mansion many times. It was just that to avoid making her father feel troubled and to maintain the peace of the family, she chose to endure everything.

Yet reality showed that not only her endurance did not bring any benefit, but it had also aggravated Lorie’s demeaning and mocking behavior towards her mother.

Hannah obviously pulled down her face.

Lorie continued her mocking remark, “Why, have you started to disrespect me after inheriting the Cooper’s, my, property?”

“Granny, don’t you forget, your last name is Cox,” Hannah said straightforwardly, “and the property of the Cooper’s doesn’t belong to you!”

“How dare you!” Lorie widened her eyes and her mouth was left agape. Her face flushed. She never imagined that her granddaughter who had used to be weak had actually humiliated her right in her face.

“Grandpa was the one who fixed the rules regarding the family property in his will, if there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with…why don’t you go ask grandpa yourself?” Hannah let out a grim smile.

“How dare you!” Roger lost his temper at that moment too. “How could you curse your grandma?”

“Uncle Roger, I just said that without any purpose, what are you so angry about?” Hannah said with an innocent look. “Could it be you have thought about it before?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Roger’s face turned livid.

Hannah sneered. “The reason I come back is not to fight with you, and of course, not to get bullied by you too. The reason I come back is that granny says there’s something she wants to look for me, if granny only wants to scold me, please forgive me for not having the time to entertain you.”

They really felt that she had changed all of a sudden.

She had become eloquent and powerful.

She faced Lorie and did not show any single fear.

Michelle who was standing next to her was so shocked that she could not utter a word.

She was already a little impressed by her daughter when she slapped Mary on the face two days ago. She started to suspect whether that was her daughter or not when she saw her talking that aggressively to Lorie.

Yet she had to say that was the first time she felt so satisfied after being bullied by Lorie all these years.

She did not manage to say anything but she decided to let her daughter act according to herself. Michelle did not mind breaking up with the family members at the old mansion. She had gone clearheaded.

It was useless no matter how kindly she acted towards them as they never treated them as their family.

“You!” Lorie was so mad that she could not speak a complete sentence. She bawled, “Get the hell out of here!”

Hannah’s eyes went a little somber and she said, “Granny, I feel the need to remind you, that by law, this mansion belongs to my father, which means the place you’re living now belongs to us. Do you think it’s appropriate to ask us to get lost?”

“Hannah Cooper!”

“Of course, I didn’t mean to ask granny to leave. I just want to advice granny not to be so arrogant when using other people’s property, because that would only bring hatred.” Hannah sounded disdainful.

She intended to deal a fatal blow to Lorie’s pride.

“How could you!” Lorie yelled while pointing straight at Hannah’s nose. She had not treated by someone like that before, and she clearly could not accept it at all.

“I was just telling the truth, if there’s anything that’s offended you, I hope you could forgive me who is just a child and don’t take it to heart. However, since granny’s already lived that long, you must have thought everything through. I hope granny could be respectful as anyone would get mad if they’re offended.”

Her logical words made Lorie completely speechless.
