After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 140

Chapter 140 A Ruse

In the hall, many people came and went. Hannah met a lot of people with her father.
When her father was chatting with some other old friends, Hannah kind of lost track of the conversation, so she quit and went to the bathroom.
She saw that Oscar was talking to someone with his elder brother at the moment, so she didn't want to bother.
Hannah was reapplying her makeup before the mirror of the bathroom, and Sandra suddenly appeared in the mirror.
Hannah glanced at her and continued what she was doing.
Sandra turned on the faucet and said while washing her hands, "Ms Wells, what a coincidence!"
Hannah answered her.
"I still remember that you mocked me at the charity banquet for being ungrateful, because I held Mr Sawyer's arm. Now it's a big change." There was some sarcasm in her tone.
"Yes, I was reminding you of what you should and should not do. Someone doesn't deserve you to do so much for him."
Sandra's expression changed slightly.
Hannah put away her lipstick. Then she checked herself in the mirror again and said, "Take care, Miss Stein." And she left.
Sandra was astonished. This dashing and domineering woman was completely different from the Hannah known by her.
Why had she changed so much! And she seemed to have an unexplained ability of prediction.
Sandra was not stupid. She knew well that no woman could have Charles. For him, interests were the first. He would only be with women who either met his rights or satisfied his desires. Whoever fell in love with him would fall on evil days. She had thought about how miserable Hannah's life would be after she married Charles, but Sandra had never expected that this woman tore through Charles' disguise before the marriage and married another man.
Oscar was not reliable, but he had never hidden his true face. Everyone knew exactly what kind of person he was and how bad he was, whereas no one knew the true side of Charles. People would not realize his bottom line and how bad he could be. Sandra knew him. She had seen those dodgy methods he used these years while working with him, which were entirely unexpected.
She would leave this man but for the intention of realizing her promotion.
Sandra stayed there thoughtfully.
As she walked out of the bathroom, she saw in the distance, Charles dragging Hannah out.
Even if she changed her impression on Hannah, it couldn't change anything. She must drag this woman down from the summit.
After all, she was now helping Charles do things for money and benefits, so people who would do harm to Charles were also her enemies.
Over the years, she had learned a lot of ruthlessness from Charles.
...
Hannah was dragged to the back garden by Charles.
As soon as she came out of the bathroom, she saw Charles standing there. She thought that he was waiting for Sandra, so she didn't think too much. But she didn't expect that as soon as she walked over, she was directly dragged by Charles to the other side. She wanted to scream, but she didn't want to cause unnecessary disputes.
Charles knew that on such an occasion, Hannah couldn't quarrel with him, for doing such things here would embarrass each other.
Hannah was so smart now. Of course she wasn't willing to ruin her reputation because of him.
How could Hannah's and Oscar's reputations be higher than his bad reputation?
He was now a typical scumbag in everyone's eyes.
No matter how hard he tried to repair the damage done to his reputation, in the eyes of others, he could never get rid of the image of a scumbag who had cheated on Hannah Cooper and who was dumped by her. All the reputation he had built had been ruined.
The culprit of all this was Hannah, he thought.
"Let go of me!" Hannah moved her hand. Her face was so gloomy.
Charles grabbed her hand even tighter.
He nearly wanted to kill this woman who had caused a big loss to him.
"Charles, do you want to bark like a dog again, don't you?" Hannah stopped struggling. She just looked at Charles coldly and threatened.
Although Charles tried to look composed, his hand which was grabbing Hannah's said differently.
"You think Theodore will never tell me?" Hannah sneered.
She was reminding him that she knew he had been threatened by Theodore to kneel and bark like a dog last time. She knew it all.
"I will count to three. If you don't let go of me, let's die together!" said Hannah.
Hannah was about to count.
Charles did what she said immediately.
He indeed feared the thing Hannah would do.
He believed that this woman would do anything if she was pushed to the wall.
Charles was so confused--how had this woman changed a lot? In the past, he could control her completely. But now she became a completely different person.
He heard that she had sought the limelight in just a few days at Cooper Group, and had kicked her father's biggest enemy out of the company.
When did this woman become so arrogant and strong!
Charles could neither figure it out, nor accept such a big change in Hannah.
He was trying to ease himself.
He frantically suppressed to adjust his emotions.
Charles suppressed his emotion with efforts and opened his mouth, "I'm sorry, Hannah. I just got impulsive."
The next second Hannah laughed, feeling it was ironic.
So he meant to keep disguising in front of her?
"Not only am I sorry for dragging you, but also sorry for the previous time. I'm so jealous that I did something the made trouble for you. I regret it so much."
"What you regret is probably that you were recorded by Theodore." Hannah sneered.
"Theodore did embarrass me, but what makes me blame myself the most is that I did that thing to you." Charles suddenly seemed to have changed, becoming the same as before. He disguised himself as a good person, to approach and coax her.
Did Charles think that she was so easy to be coaxed as before?
"Charles, if you want to pretend, just pretend. But I tell you that everything you did is in vain for me. Oh, no, it may not be useless, it makes me feel disgusting anyway."
Charles collapsed a little.
Hannah didn't bother to glance at him. She really didn't want to say any single word to him.
She didn't know why she fancied Charles in her previous life.
She wanted to walk past him. But when Hannah stepped out, Charles suddenly grabbed her.
"Ahh!" she screamed.
Hannah lost her balance, and fell into Charles' arms.
Her face looking terrible, she was about to break free form his restrains. At this moment, Charles hurriedly put his hands off like a gentleman.
"Hannah, be careful."
Hannah frowned.
Had he got out of his mind after being hit by the reality?
"I can't be with you all the time now. You have to take care of yourself." He gave a tender smile.
He reached out a hand to cares Hannah's hair at the moment.
Hannah dodged.
Then, she suddenly found Oscar standing not far away.
