After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 30

Hannah got back into the living hall.

The lights in the living were turned on.

The dance ended and the party turned into a regular social party again.

Miguel and Michelle were making a toast to their guests. It was a lively event.

Hannah looked around. She found Susan and walked to her.

Susan was holding Henry’s arm intimately. They were chatting and laughing, looking like a loving couple.

“Hannah, where were you?” Susan complained as she saw Hannah walking over.

Initially, Susan wanted to praise Hannah, for she was determined to give the low-profile style up.

Susan had told Hannah before that Michelle was pretty and her beauty shouldn’t be covered by plainness. Hannah and Michelle both won’t listen to her before.

But look at them, Michelle amazed everyone.

There must be so many rich women envious of her.

“I went to the bathroom,” Hannah told a lie.

“I see.” Susan never doubted Hannah. But suddenly, something caught Susan’s attention and she added, “What happened to your ear?”

“What?” Hannah was anxious.

“This one.” Susan pointed at Hannah’s left ear.

It was the one Oscar bit just now.

“Did you get molested? Your ear is so red. Are you blushing?” Susan asked.

Hannah felt embarrassed.

‘Can’t Susan keep her mouth shut or put it mildly?’

Henry felt funny and interrupted them, “The word you used is so interesting, why didn’t you use them in your essay when you were in school?”

Susan’s tutor had been surprised at how bad Susan’s essay was, considering her rich vocabulary.

To be exact, all of her homework used to be bad.

“Do you think I’d meet you if my essays were good?” Susan quibbled.

Susan and Henry had been together since high school.

There used to be a tuition class at school, and the top senior two students were going to help the senior one students in their studies.

Henry was a top student in his junior year, and Susan was a year beneath him, who did badly in her exams back then.

Their stories had begun at the tuition class and become a legend in their school.

Hannah used to admire Susan, for she thought Susan was brave enough to love and hate someone. As long as she liked someone, she would definitely be with him, despite his family background.

Edward had not approved of their relationship at first, since he thought Susan was still too young to get in a relationship; and Henry didn’t come from a wealthy family.

Henry was an orphan. He could afford to get into an elite school for free only because of his excellent academic result. He had no way to be comparable with Susan even if Susan’s grades were so bad.

But Susan threatened to commit suicide.

Edward loved Susan dearly since she was born. Maybe he felt guilty about what happened to Susan’s mother. Edward could hardly reject any request from Susan, so he had no choice but to agree on their relationship.

It was a good thing that Henry was hardworking and self-motivated. He got into the best university in Northfield, the University of Finance, after graduating from high school. Upon his graduation from university, he got a job in Phillips Bank and became Edward’s, right-hand man.

Hannah stared at Henry without exposing any of her thoughts.

If she wasn’t reborn, she wouldn’t know Henry had been carrying a cruel objective when he approached Susan from the start.

“Susan.” Hannah stopped Susan and Henry from their chatting.

Susan turned around and looked at Hannah.

“Come with me?” Hannah said.

“Sure.” Susan let go of Henry’s arm and said to him, “Are you alright alone?”

In fact, Susan wasn’t a careless person as she might seem to be. She cared a lot about Henry. Susan knew Henry might feel a little inferior because of his background. Therefore, Susan would usually take care of him in social events like this.

“I’m alright.” Henry said, “I saw someone I knew. I might go and have a little chat with them.”

“Sure.” Susan smiled at him.

Hannah held Susan’s hand and walked away.

Susan was curious, “What’s going on? What’s the rush?”

“You didn’t forget what I told you, right?”

“At 10 pm I remember.” Susan sad, “I have never forgotten anything you told me.”

Hannah laughed, “Good girl. I’m rewarding you.”

“Don’t scare me, Hannah.” Susan was judging Hannah.

Susan felt like something was different about Hannah.

Hannah didn’t wait for Susan to reject her offer. She quickly led Susan and walked past Charles on purpose.

“Hannah.” Charles stopped Hannah.

Hannah secretly smiled.

She turned around and answered, “Charles, it’s my mother’s birthday. I’m a bit overwhelmed. Sorry for not having the time to talk to you.”

Susan rolled her eyes beside Hannah.

‘When did my best friend know how to put on an act? Hannah was going to cancel her wedding after a month, while she was pretending that she still loved Charles?’

Susan knew Oscar was handsome, but she thought Charles was good looking too.

‘What went into Hannah’s mind?’ Susan thought.

“It’s a great birthday party tonight. I never knew Michelle could look so stunning.” Charles praised.

He looked sincere.

Hannah sneered in her heart.

What a surprise that he could still fake that!

Hannah saw Loretta, who almost couldn’t withhold her anger and jealousy. She then figured that Loretta came to embarrassed Michelle at the party. However, Michelle outperformed Loretta.

It could not be denied that those rich wives who came to the birthday party tonight, who once looked down on Michelle, were humiliated and taught a lesson.

“You’re not busy now, are you? Shall we go and see my parents? Martina’s here too. She wanted to apologize to you, face to face.” Hannah wasn’t showing much interest in him, so he quickly mentioned his family.

Hannah looked in a direction from afar.

People from the four wealthiest families gathered at that place.

Hannah smiled and agreed, “Sure.”

She walked over after Charles, along with Susan.

Three of them obeyed the rules and didn’t interrupt the conversations of their parents.

Suddenly, Miguel said, “Michelle, just before you came down, Loretta said she has a present for you.”

Michelle smiled at Loretta.

Loretta had to fake a smile.

The real “present” she had prepared was to show off her elegance and civility. She wanted to humiliate Michelle and made people compare Michelle to her.

Loretta had no mood to give Michelle any present now, for that Michelle looked so dazzling and elegant as she never expected.

But Loretta couldn’t take back what she said.

She took out a bracelet from her delicate purse, which came with a thick chain and looked plain. It wasn’t an exquisite gift. “I saw it when I went shopping earlier. I thought it fits you well, so I bought it for you. You want to try it out?”

Then, Loretta kindly put on the bracelet for Michelle.

To be honest, the bracelets didn’t look nice at all. Since Michelle was magnanimous, she said, “It’s beautiful. I liked it.”

“I knew you would.” Loretta quickly said while looking down upon Michelle in her heart. She thought Michelle had no fashion sense.

Loretta wondered who picked the gown Michelle was wearing for her. The gown was so mesmerizing but she couldn’t tell which designer the gown was from.

She never saw this gown when she went to pick out her down yesterday. She was so sure that she had already viewed all gowns from all famous designers.

That gown stood out from all the other she saw.

Loretta felt an irresistible urge to know which designer it was from. She wouldn’t allow Michelle to steal her thunder next time.
