After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 89

In the Cooper's old mansion, Lorie, Roger and his family were ignited by Hannah's sarcasm but they tried to suppress their anger.

If Jane had come, she would have been pissed off.

But she should not dare to go out now, after doing such a humiliating thing in front of so many people, she should have been locked up by Roger.

For a while, it had been awkward in the room.

Miguel, who stepped up to be a peacemaker, hastened to say, "Let’s leave the past in the past. As for why they came so late, it's because something happened at Oscar's home. I told them not to rush back. Thanks to the thoughtful Wells, we didn't give a dowry but received a bunch of bride price... Now, the kids bring such a ton of stuff back again. The Wells family is far too generous."

At this moment, the maids brought the gifts in, which literally surprised Lorie and Roger.

Yet both of them were able to play it cool.

Lorie changed the subject and said, "I didn't come here today to argue with you. I got something important to discuss."

"Please speak." Miguel was still respectful of Lorie.

After all, she was his mother.

However, Lorie tended to be arrogant and domineering because Miguel's filial piety.

In the past, Hannah had obeyed her rampant grandmother in everything like her father, while now she wouldn’t be so obedient.

She remained indifferent and saw what her grandmother was going to do again.

Lorie didn't keep them guessing and said in a bossy tone, "I brought Mary here today. I just want to tell you that Mary is going to work at the Cooper Group tomorrow. Just let her take Jane's place. Jane has been in a bad mood, so I'm letting her stay at home for now."

There was no discussion but a final result for them.

Hannah felt a little ridiculous.

Lorie’s wishful thinking was wonderful.

She was aware that Jane's life and work had been ruined, so she tried to support Mary.

Miguel obviously had some problems with Lorie's arrangement.

After all, Jane had been working in the company for more than a year and just got familiar with her work at hand. Now Lorie let Mary, who had never been exposed to the workplace, take over Jane’s position. He didn't feel right at all.

"Okay." said Hannah.

Miguel was surprised and turned to look at Hannah.

He thought that Hannah would have rejected the decision based on her usual attitude to Mary.

Miguel was not the only one who was surprised, Lorie and Roger were also shocked by Hannah's answer. Both of them had prepared a lot for forcing Hannah or Miguel into accepting the decision, thinking that if Miguel agreed with it easily, it could be Hannah who would make things difficult for them. Now it was entirely the opposite. They didn't expect Hannah to be so straightforward, which made them feel a little apprehensive.

During this time, they had been confused about Hannah's performance.

Thus, they wondered if Hannah was up to something since she was so out of the ordinary again.

Hannah certainly knew what these people were thinking about.

She agreed with it as she deemed it prudent not to argue with her grandmother, for Lorie must have been completely prepared when she came here and announced it personally. And she didn't want to waste her breath and get into trouble. She might as well just let Mary into the company and let Lorie and Roger have nothing to say.

"It's not appropriate for Jane to be in the public eye at this time. Since Mary is willing to share the workload for Jane, we certainly won't let her down." Hannah said in a dignified way and looked generous, "Dad, do you think so?"

Miguel nodded, "... Yes, since Mary wants to help her sister, of course, we will support her. You can follow your father and brother to the company tomorrow."

"Thank you, Uncle Miguel, and thank you, Hannah." said Mary.

She hadn't expected her to take Jane's position so smoothly.

The corner of her mouth curled up into a smile that was almost imperceptible.

It seemed not to be so difficult for her to take Hannah's place next, Mary thought to herself.

"The problem of Jane's job is easy to solve. Uncle Roger, I wonder if you have thought about how to solve the matter of Jane's future life?" Hannah asked kindly.

Roger thought that Hannah was going to sarcastic him again.

No matter what, Jane was hooking up with Charles who had been Hannah’s fiance. It was Jane who had sinned, and she also soiled her family's reputation.

"Jane will reflect on herself. Don't you worry about that!" Roger said with an embarrassed expression.

"Though I don't think this is Jane's fault. It takes two to make a stupid sexual decision. Charles also bears a large part of the responsibility. Uncle Roger, didn't you ever think about holding Charles responsible?" Hannah reminded.

Roger was stunned and probably didn't think about it at all.

He only thought that his daughter had done something disgraceful, but did not think about getting any benefit from this matter.

"On my wedding day, when I knew that they have a relationship behind the scenes, I did hate them extremely. After all, for so many years, I thought Charles only loved me. So when it happened, I was out of proportion in dealing with it and thought about how to get justice for myself. But now I've calmed down, I think since Charles and Jane are in love, why don't we make it work for them? If they became a couple, it would be a good story on everybody's lips. Then they wouldn't need to suffer the ridicule of so many people now." Hannah said it on purpose.

Roger was obviously moved by Hannah's words, yet he suspected her motives in offering the suggestion, so he didn't comment easily.

"Of course, I also say it for myself. After I got married to Oscar, I heard some controversies. If Charles and Jane became a couple, it would be a happy ending for everyone. In that case, there will be no one to gossip it." Hannah added.

"You think the best of everything."

What Hannah said was clearly the outcome he wanted, while he was unwilling to admit it.

Hannah ignored his words and said, "In fact, I would find an opportunity to thank Jane and Charles. If it were not for their relationship, I would not have been able to marry Oscar. Only when I married Oscar did I know what true love is. It was probably due to the childhood attachment, I misunderstood my feelings for Charles. Now, I sincerely hope that we can each find our happiness."

The more she said it nicely, the easier it was for Roger to fall for it.
