After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 35

“Your fiancée coming too?” Oscar asked.

Hannah glared at Oscar, but she was simply ignored.

Charles dismissed his suggestion, “She doesn’t drink.”

“Is that so?” Oscar smiled.

Nobody could decipher his smile. Even Hannah couldn’t figure out what Oscar was thinking at the moment.

She just had a feeling that at the moment he looked different from his usual self, who used to be a person with a careless and smug attitude.

“If you mind this, I can drink on behalf of Hannah, Mr Wells.” Said Charles.

“Since you are so protective of your fiancée, then I will take you on your offer. Cheers.” Oscar downed his drink in one go immediately after saying that.

Charles did the same too.

Then Charles poured himself another one, for he had to drink two glasses every time on behalf of himself and Hannah.

Theodore and Susan was still immersed in their song, but after getting a signal from Oscar, Theodore put down his microphone and went over to toast to Charles.

They were trying to liquor Charles up.

Susan glared at Theodore with slight resentment.

They were in the middle of a nice song, why did he run away like that?

She wanted to pass another microphone to Henry at first, but thinking about the ominous words said by Theodore she stopped short. Although that sounded ridiculous, but what if it came true?

Susan decided to put down her microphone and stopped singing, but at that moment there was a sudden deep voice who continued the song. His singing was good.

The voice was Manuel’s.

Susan handed Mary who sat beside her microphone crisply, and said, “You sing.”

“I don’t know how to sing this song.” Mary rejected hastily.

Jane sensed Susan’s gaze, “Neither do I.”

Susan was speechless.

She couldn’t help but glance at Henry and found that he was sitting in a corner.

Since he didn’t come from a rich family, Henry couldn’t mesh with these rich boys and girls from the upper class of society.

He was much better at facing such situations now after a year of work experience but he wouldn’t even want to join a gathering like this before.

Susan tossed her microphone on a tea table and headed to where Henry was.

She was afraid that he couldn’t be himself in such a place, so she always tried to show some concern towards him.

Henry saw Susan returning to his side and he faintly smiled. Then, he took her into his embrace like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Manuel glanced in their direction.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he continued singing on his own.

Theodore returned from drinking and saw that Manuel was singing alone, who was covering both the male and female’s part.

So Theodore joined him and proceeded to sing the female’s part.

This song suited Manuel well.

On the other hand, Charles was busy toasting to others, and every time he had to drink twice for Hannah’s sake.

Although he had consumed so much alcohol, he did enjoy being flattered and toasted to like this.

Therefore, he didn’t refuse anyone who toasted to him. He would down his glass in one go and drank them hastily.

Soon, it appeared that he was getting pretty drunk.

Charles whispered by Hannah’s ears, “I’m going to the toilet.”

“Can you manage on your own?” Hannah pretended to worry about him.

Everyone was able to see their intimate interaction.

Jane was going crazy due to jealousy.

If it was not because of Hannah who had inherited the Cooper Group, she wouldn’t appear so out of place among these people. It was obvious that she didn’t have much courage and confidence now.

Not only was she frustrated tonight, but her mother was so mad and upset too.

Michelle had turned into a famous and gorgeous woman overnight in the circle of rich women. If it were her dad but not Hannah’s dad who was the heir of the Cooper family, Jane’s mother would have owned what Michelle had right now, and she would have gotten all the treatment that Hannah was enjoying! Jane felt aggrieved.

She kept her resentment hidden, yet she almost wanted to rush forward and split Charles and Hannah up.

Luckily, they were just exchanging some words intimately before Charles dismissing himself from the suite.

Jane didn’t react to that as she heard Mary whispering by her ears, “Sis, Charles has gone out.”

Jane initially wanted to scold her for stating the obvious, but the next second she understood what Mary was implying.

She had to admit that this illicit daughter of her family sometimes irritated her and she always looked down on her, but Mary was one unscrupulous scoundrel. Perhaps this personality of hers could help Jane.

Jane silently got up and made sure no one was looking at her. Then she disappeared at the door.

However, Hannah had seen all of that.

After some time, Charles was back and he seemed to be more sober compared to just now.

The others started to toast him once again.

Jane only came back after some extended period of time, and when she appeared, there was a suspicious reddish glow on her cheeks, as if she was embarrassed about something.

The other youngsters in the room were still drinking and singing. Things were heating up.

Charles completely ignored Hannah, since he was forced by Theodore to keep drinking alcohol.

Hannah got up and left.

When she left the room, Charles didn’t notice her going missing too.

The fact of the matter was that Charles wanted to suck up to Theodore because the Wolds had a special background which Charles was eyeing.

Once Charles got going with his own agenda, he would always ignore Hannah temporarily.

She was waiting at the door for some time, and Oscar came out too.

The two of them headed deep into the corridors.

Hannah had a start, “Later, I will think of some way to let Jane send Charles back.”

Oscar remained silent.

“By the time they leave, you make sure to ask Theodore to find someone to follow from behind closely.”

“There is just a month until your marriage. Are you that sure that Charles would do something like that?”

“I’m very sure.” Charles was a guy who couldn’t change his ways in such a short time.

As long as Jane took the initiative here, Charles could never refuse.

Obviously, Jane was so envious tonight that the possibility of her not taking any action was negligible.

“Since you are so sure about it, I’ll dismiss the idea of using the drug prepared by Theodore?” Oscar said in a monotonous voice.

“Yes, I don’t need that.”

“You really mean it, or is it you who also want to prepare an escape route for yourself?” The corner of Oscar’s mouth lifted, and his tone indicated that he was making a snarky remark.

Hannah only understood his words after a few seconds.

She said with conviction, “I never hold back, and I won’t for sure do that to Charles.”

“Is that so?” Oscar said in disbelief.

“You will know tonight.” Hannah turned around and left.

The moment she took a step, her body was suddenly pinned on the wall by Oscar, who was slightly tipsy at the moment. Now he was very dangerous.
