After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 85

Everyone was completely shocked by what Hannah said.

Getting to the core of the matter, Hannah should be the biggest victim here. Now she was the one standing up for Karen.

“Dad.” Hannah tried to endure the pain on her back.

The pain was real.

Robert didn’t hold back even if that was her daughter.

She continued, “We were all kind in heart when we were born. It’s not entirely Karen’s fault for becoming who she is today. We have showed too little of a concern for her, and our way of education is wrong too. Could it be that we never know the true longing of her heart? I don’t think that Karen is the only one who should reflect on herself in this matter.”

Her speech rendered Robert speechless.

“Mum, I know that you have sacrificed a lot for Karen, and you love her to the core. But do you think of what Karen wants? Karen said everyone could go out and have fun and be themselves except her. Could it be that we have been too protective of her all along, which took away the chance for her to grow up independently? This could be the cause of her becoming so today.”

Venus was too unable to find any words to respond to Hannah.

Did she pamper her daughter too much? Or was she ignorant of her daughter’s need all along?

Reminded by Hannah, she started to think carefully about the way she used to treat Karen, about what she had done in Karen’s life.

“Karen had suffered too much because of her body, don’t you agree? Do you think things would change if you inflict even more damage to her now? I think we should instead think of ways we can help her, and make sure she can return to being a normal, sane person. We shouldn’t increase her hatred towards us!” Hannah spoke with sincerity.

Everyone seemed to be touched by her speech.

Even for Janet, who was always antagonistic towards Hannah, started to respect her ability after a series of manoeuvring.

Not only she had exposed the ugly side of Karen, but she had also turned herself into the righteous one, full of justice. She won this match fantastically!

When she recalled all the years she was bullied by Karen yet without an outlet to vent her sufferings, she used to be very depressed because of it.

She gnashed her teeth and tried to be unnoticeable to everyone.

At that moment, Karen didn’t think that Hannah would come to her rescue.

Everyone chosen to be bystanders, yet Hannah, who she hated the most, had put in some words in her favour.

Nonetheless, she wouldn’t accept it, Hannah’s goodwill.

Nor did she want everyone to think highly of Hannah!

When she was about to push Hannah away, Hannah whispered by her ears in the form of a warning, “If you want to get beaten by dad, you can continue to dig your own grave.”

In the eyes of the onlookers, they thought Hannah was consoling Karen with her action of whispering by her ears.

Karen was indeed threatened by Hannah’s words.

She was well aware that if she returned Hannah’s kindness with vengeance, that would be the end of the amount of kindness and tolerance her family would show to her from that moment on. She would be tortured a lot and that would be how she died.

Gritting her teeth, she didn’t think that Hannah would oppress her to such a degree.

Knowing well that Hannah was never sincere in her help with motives of strengthening the ties with the Wells family, and winning the favour of Oscar as well as her parents, Karen in fact had no other way to stop her.

She was so hateful, yet she could do nothing at all.

“Karen, apologize to dad and mum now.” Hannah urged Karen with a gentle expression.

It was true.

Hannah was on the receiving end of everything good here.

Now, she was just an unscrupulous, insidious, cunning and twisted existence. In contrast, Hannah appeared to be the bigger person here with her action of returning hatred with kindness.

She could imagine Hannah’s status in the family from now on. She was practically shining brilliantly.

She could also imagine how well her parents would treat Hannah in the future!

Karen was super frustrated.

Yet, she had to appear to be sorry with the pressure given by Hannah, “I’m sorry, dad, mum. I am in the wrong here for disappointing you.”

Robert’s temper was not so volatile anymore.

He even came to some enlightenment after hearing Hannah’s words.

He replied Karen with poise, “What use is there for apologizing to me? You hurt Hannah, not me. Apologize to her now!”

Karen turned to Hannah reluctantly.

Hannah in her eyes was wearing a sly smile of amusement.

She forced herself to say, “I’m sorry, Hannah. I won’t do anything to you anymore. I won’t… love Oscar anymore.”

“It’s fine.” Hannah replied generously, “I know you misunderstood your feelings for Oscar since you don’t have many friends. When you can know other guys in the future, you will understand.”

Karen could only lower her head and nodded.

All of a sudden, she felt her strength disappearing from her body, which crashed to the floor without warning.

Hannah managed to hold her.

Venus couldn’t suppress her feelings anymore since no matter what happened, Karen was still her daughter. No matter how angry and disappointed she was, she still felt sympathy and worry.

“Karen…” Venus gazed at her worriedly.

“Mum, can I get some rest now?” Karen was once again her feeble and pitiful self.

“Someone come help her to the room.”

“Yes.”

A few maids came forth and helped Karen to upstairs.

Karen’s leaving generally lightened the mood in the hall.

“Hannah, you should treat the wound on your back too.” Nancy said with concern.

At that moment, everyone remembered that Hannah had been whipped hard just now.

“Hannah, dad put in too much strength just now. Get back to your room and let Oscar tend to the wounds, or we send you to the hospital…” Robert appeared somewhat guilty as he said.

“It’s alright dad, I can still stand the pain. It’s not that painful.” Hannah forced a smile.

She was trying to console him, which only made him feel more sorry.

“I want to talk about Destiny before going back to my room.” Hannah said bluntly.

The others looked at Hannah with doubt on their faces.

“No matter what happen to Karen, it didn’t wash away the fact that Destiny has done something unacceptable in the eyes of Karen. Putting aside the possibility of getting punished by her, Destiny might not be able to face Karen anymore. So, I propose to let Destiny leave here.”

Robert agreed to this suggestion, “I will reimburse Destiny with some money and allow her to leave us.”

“Destiny has been a maid since a young age, and she doesn’t have other skills. I know about her family situation and know that without this source of income, she won’t be able to make ends meet for her family. So, I plan to hire Destiny to work in my parents’ house.” Hannah described her plan.

“That would appear to be the best possible scenario.” Robert was happy with the suggestion.

He couldn’t help feeling impressed by Hannah’s all-around ability when dealing with things.
