After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 32

“Since she has apologized of her own accord, then she should really apologize to Susan.” Hannah declared with a righteous look.

Martina’s face drastically changed at the moment. No matter how good she was as an actress, she couldn’t maintain her fake façade anymore at this point.

In her whole life, the person she hated the most was none other than Susan. Since their childhood days, they had been locking horns. All the other young ladies of the other affluent families knew better than to get in her way, but Susan was the oddity who never relented in front of her. Instead, she would always hold opposing thoughts and opinions to Martina when it came to practically anything.

Later on, she had fallen for Manuel, but it turned out that Manuel fancied Susan, which in her opinion was the biggest humiliation she could experience in her life. She hated Susan to the core, and it would be a joke if she had to bow down her head in front of her now!

Loretta was able to discern what was going on inside her daughter’s mind. Knowing well how much she hated Susan, to ask her to apologize to Susan in front of everyone else was a suffering worse than death. She couldn’t help but cursing at Hannah for leading to this development.

This woman really didn’t take Loretta’s kindness at face value since she was playing the role of the righteous one here while it was already an honour for Martina to apologize to her.

She got more and more riled up the more she thought about this.

However, seeing that there were so many people around them, Loretta couldn’t just turn around and flee even if she wanted to.

At the same time, everyone seemed to be waiting for Martina to make her apologies. There was no space to manoeuvre in this situation.

“Martina, look at you, you’re being childish again. How can you smash Susan’s phone so clumsily? Now, apologize.” Lee interjected in a soft manner in order to prevent more awkwardness shrouding his family.

Although he had made things seemed light by mentioning that Martina was being “clumsy”, in the end, Martina seemed to have no other choice other than apologizing to Susan in this situation.

Susan straightened her back at this moment while waiting for Martina this little bitch to bend down in front of her.

She had to admit that Hannah was giving her a very rare reward now.

“Martina.” Seeing that Martina didn’t say anything, Lee’s face slowly darkened.

In the upper class of society, importance was always placed on the male member of a family. As long as the head of the family speak, it was a sign of total obedience. No one could say otherwise!

Martina’s eyes had turned red out of nervousness.

“I know that you’re not doing it purposely, but you still smashed Susan’s phone. It’s your fault.” Loretta pinched Martina’s back to urge her daughter.

Martina endured the snapping pain and stared viciously at Susan.

On the other hand, Susan was grinning ear to ear.

“Martina.” Loretta was growing impatient.

“Sorry.” Martina seemed to force those words out of her teeth.

She was on the verge of tears although it was just a word. She was also forcing herself to endure the embarrassment!

She was probably resenting everyone around her for putting her in this situation.

Hannah was snickering coldly on one side.

If the Sawyers didn’t brand themselves into such high-class personalities and presented themselves as educated, obedient and polite, they wouldn’t have driven her daughter into such a tight spot at this moment!

One day, this daughter would expose all the falsities and façades made by the Sawyers.

“It’s nothing.” Susan answered generously, “You’re too young to understand anything, so I won’t bother with you on such things too. Remember don’t simply bark at anyone next time.”

Too young to understand anything? !

What did she mean by her barking?

Was she referring her as a dog?

Martina couldn’t maintain her composure anymore once she understood that Susan was throwing sarcastic remarks at her. She was about to go into a frenzy and curse back at Susan.

At the last second, Loretta grabbed Martina, “Since we are all settled here, I’ll bring Martina and grab some desserts to eat. She didn’t have her dinner yet.”

Loretta didn’t want Martina to embarrass the Sawyer family name in front of so many.

Martina was forced to put up with her hatred once again.

She shot a venomous glare at Susan before leaving with her mother.

The moment she turned around, all of a sudden there was a loud snapping sound that sounded like fabric tearing apart.

Immediately afterwards, Martina screamed out at the top of her lungs, “Ah!”

Her scream attracted everyone’s attention.

They all saw that Martina’s evening dress was torn and the spot was coincidentally where her chest was. Her skin-coloured bra pad was exposed just like this. Everyone saw her embarrassment at the moment.

Hannah immediately lifted her leg which was originally on the lower edge of Martina’s dress on the floor. She looked a little flustered too as she called out, “Martina, you are too fast on your feet just now, I have accidentally stepped on your dress…”

“Ah!” Martina was going crazy now.

She had never faced such embarrassment in her life before this.

Not even once.

She covered her chest and screamed like a mad woman, ignoring her image.

Loretta was only able to recover after a moment as she hastily shielded her daughter, “Don’t look!”

She sounded a little angry because everyone was staring at this fiasco.

They were in the middle of a humiliation where their face was lost. How could they still allow anyone to watch them like this?

How could the Sawyers and her daughter face the others anymore in the future?

Charles finally responded at that moment as he hastily removed his coat to cover Martina’s body.

“Send her back!” Lee’s face was very ugly at this moment.

Never had the Sawyers lost their own face like this previously.

Never once had any of them found themselves in such a humiliating situation.

Loretta helped Martina as they fled the hall.

Martina was sobbing as she trudged on while feelings of embarrassment and frustration attacked her.

Hannah must be doing this on purpose!

That woman must be planning this all along!

Hannah and Susan exchanged a glance.

Susan had a feeling that she could never underestimate her best friend, Hannah.

This woman was really going all out!

Since when was she so dominant?

“Sorry for letting you guys witness something so laughable.” Lee announced with a pretended smile as he tried to make himself look nonchalant.

“Accidents happen from time to time. Come, let’s have a toast now, it’s rare for the four wealthiest families to get together and drink. Toast to each other!” As the host, Miguel had to iron out the creases in the atmosphere.

All the others present were socialite who knew the ways of society. They all chipped in to move on from that awkward scene just now.

It seemed that everything had returned to normal.

Everyone was chatting away happily in the hall.

Hannah was dragged by Charles to the back garden at that moment.

Naturally, she could feel the silent anger emanating from Charles.

“What the hell were you doing just now?” Charles tried to suppress his anger, but it seemed like he was at his limit.

“I didn’t do it on purpose.” Hannah had a look of innocence, “I didn’t know why I was stepping on Martina’s dress, and just now she was hurrying away too. If she didn’t move so suddenly, her dress would not be torn too. And to top it off Martina had to face such embarrassment…”

“Hannah, you’ve changed.” Charles was staring intently at her. He didn’t conceal the fact that he was upset at Hannah’s change he had detected.

Hannah wanted to snicker coldly.

Of course, she had to change.

Or else, would she want to be his play thing once again?

However, she didn’t show any of her real thoughts on her face, “Why do you think that? We are together almost every day. In what way have I changed?”

Charles still had that hard, cold glint in his eyes.

She was right.

They were practically inseparable.

How could she just change all of a sudden?

However, Hannah was behaving erratically to the point that he couldn’t see through her mind anymore. He couldn’t exert any control over her anymore.

“Charles, are you unhappy because I have been involved with altercations with your family members?” Hannah asked carefully.

It was just like in her past life.

She was afraid that he would he mad or upset so she always made sure to account for changes in his feelings.

As long as he had some pent-up feelings, she would give in no matter what the condition was.
