A Crazy Wife novel Chapter 35

"Impossible."

Hearing it, Morgen Brown looks green in the face but is still stubborn.

"Seeing is believing." Hannah Joseph glances at him with contempt.

What a pathetic scumbag! He can't even identify Lisa Joseph as a green tea bitch in a primary stage, who has a simple mind but is good at making love in bed. There is something wrong with his brain.

"Hannah, Lisa has a bad temper, so she doesn’t behave herself sometimes, but she is not the kind of person you said. Without evidence, you should not think of your sister like this."

Seeing that Morgen Brown is teaching a lesson to her, Hannah Joseph is even more contemptuous, deeply doubting what aspect of him the owner of her body was interested in before.

Appearance? Don't say to compare with Chester Shahbaz. He can’t even compete with Zander Shahbaz, who is a good-for-nothing!

"Who says there is no evidence?" Hannah Joseph rolls her eyes at him. "The leopard cannot change his spots. That's my evidence."

Lisa Joseph's skill of cutting corners is unique.

After dinner, Hannah Joseph hears that Chester Shahbaz is going to play chess with Frank Joseph, and Frank Joseph is fetching the chess board now. Chester Shahbaz should be alone in the study. If Lisa Joseph is interested in Chester Shahbaz, this is her only chance.

"Hannah, how did you become like this?" Morgen Brown looks pained.

Morgen Brown is going to teach Hannah Joseph a lesson again when there is a sudden bang from the study. It is a sound of porcelain cup breaking.

Hannah Joseph leaves Morgen Brown behind and walks over there. Before she opens the door, she hides the joy in her eyes. After she opens the door, she pretends to exclaim and get shocked.

"Chester, are you ok? Are you hurt?"

Chester Shahbaz is still sitting in the wheelchair. He looks peaceful. Only a tea cup is broken beside the wheelchair, sprinkling water all over the floor. Sitting down on the floor is Lisa Joseph with an embarrassing look.

"I'm okay." Chester Shahbaz looks at Hannah Joseph and says coldly, "but your family education is really unique."

In fact, Chester Shahbaz scolds both Hannah Joseph’s family and her, but the current situation is chaotic, and the two guilty people at the door and on the ground can't hear it.

Hannah Joseph thinks fast, looking at Morgen Brown at the door directly, shouting, "You should keep her under strict control. Chester doesn’t care because he is our family member. If we are laughed at by outsiders in future, that will be a shame to both the two families.”

Morgen Brown looks very embarrassed. He stares at Lisa Joseph on the ground with rage, but he can’t speak a word, with only disgust in his heart.

Lisa Joseph does not expect to “go for wool and come home shorn”. She gets up in a hurry, "Morgen Brown, it's not what you think..."

“...”

When they leave, Hannah Joseph calls the servant to get rid of the broken porcelain cup in the study. She asks casually, "it has been in a mess. Aren’t you leaving?"

Chester Shahbaz looks at her as if his eyes are blazing with anger, "You don't seem to care about your family."

Hannah Joseph’s heart tightens. "In fact, it is not a matter whether I care or not. Anyway, this is my family. Your family knew it before we got married. It can never been hidden. If you don't like it, I won't have you come back with me in future."

Hannah Joseph gives an irrelevant answer but Chester Shahbaz doesn’t ask it.

At that time Frank Joseph fetches a chessboard, and this topic is sidetracked.

Chester Shahbaz plays chess with Frank Joseph. Without interest in watching, Hannah Joseph walks into the yard alone to see flowers and grass. There are voices of men and women arguing in the deep garden.

Hannah Joseph stops and is very happy to observe Lisa Joseph's eloquence in front of Morgen Brown. When she hears the logic, she can’t help clapping for her.

"I just want to test my brother-in-law for my elder sister. Don't forget what you did with me before. It hurts my elder sister's heart. I don't feel at ease when I have my elder sister marry someone casually."

Lisa Joseph even makes up this kind of nonsense. Morgen Brown is even moved.

What a pair of logical wizards!

It is nearly evening time. There is a noise in the study. Chester Shahbaz calls the adjutant to push the wheelchair. Before the Joseph family asks him to stay, he says he is going to leave.

Hannah Joseph graciously takes over the wheelchair from the adjutant, "It's time to go. It's not early. It needs to go home for dinner. You're not in good health."

Chester Shahbaz has been used to Hannah Joseph's acting. He only gives a little nod to the Joseph family and gets on the car.

Two jeeps march ahead and two others follow the middle black car in which Hannah Joseph and Chester Shahbaz sit in the back seats and look at each other, speechless.

The atmosphere is a bit awkward for a while.

For a long time, Hannah Joseph says in a muffled voice, "thank you."

"For what?"

Hannah Joseph says, "Thank you for supporting me." which goes against her conscience. She has seen early that Chester Shahbaz has an ulterior motive today, but at least he did support her unintentionally.

Chester Shahbaz glances at her lightly and changes the topic. "Next Monday, you are going to work in dad's company. I hear from mom that you don't want the position of director of the design department but you want to start as an assistant."

"Yes." Hannah Joseph nods, "I don't want to be gossiped about, so I'll take my time to avoid any trouble for you."

"You should know it." Chester Shahbaz says impolitely. "You know yourself. Since you don't know anything, don't try to learn from others and enter the workplace."

Hearing those words, Hannah Joseph is not much moved anymore. She says angrily, "I don't understand anything? I learned drawing when I was a child and I also learned jewelry design for eight years. How can I not understand?"

"Jewelry design?"

Chester Shahbaz suddenly looks at her and says leisurely, "Didn’t you learn pharmacology in university?"

Hannah Joseph's face suddenly changes and her heart thumps.

It's a slip of her tongue. Hannah Joseph used to learn medicine, but it was Sherry Green who learned jewelry design!

"I..."

In a stagnant atmosphere, facing Chester Shahbaz's oppressive eyes, she is so flustered that she can’t say any disguised words.

At this time, bang! A loud noise comes from the car window. A spider web crack quickly spreads on the window and breaks into pieces.

The bullets whizz into the car and shot the two people in the front row of the car. The whole road outside is disordered. The sound of braking and crashing rises one after another. It is very sharp.

At the moment of seeing the blood, Hannah Joseph screams but is suddenly pushed down by a strong arm. She hears a low voice near her ear.

"Lie still."

When she turns her face, she sees the cold side of Chester Shahbaz. At the moment, she is only one nose tip away from Chester Shahbaz. He looks serious and takes the walking talkie out with great poise.

"What's the matter?"

As the electric current sizzles, a man's voice comes from the walking talkie, "Chief, it's an ambush. Someone attacks. Are you ok?"

"I am okay."

Chester Shahbaz answers, looks up at the distance and says in a low voice, "In the direction of ten o'clock, there is a sniper on the top floor of the building. Deal with the sniper first."

"Yes."

Hannah Joseph is pinned down by Chester Shahbaz and can’t move. Seeing his calm command and thinking that she used to lose life, she settles down and inquires, "What can I do for you?"
