After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 120

As the call finished, the investigation of Mason barely turned to a closed-file for Hannah. She had seen how powerful the Wold family was, and a background research was merely a piece of cake. How come Oscar had been the last winner in the previous life? The support from the Wold family must be a key.

But why had they chosen Oscar Wells other than Theodore Wold? These two families did not seem to be in a same alliance. This puzzle seemed like a nut so she could only put aside for now. She was sure that time would tell. After all, Oscar was her ally now. So it must be blessed to have the backup from the Wold family.

Then she resumed work. Her concentration made her fail to hear the ticking clock. It was 8 o’clock already as she realized. Hannah made a stretch.

Jimmy waiting respectfully outside the office. Without any complain or words, he was as quiet as the air.

“Sorry, a new comer needs time to get familiar with her job.” She apologized.

“Never mind, Mrs Wells. Thanks to you, I learned it before,” Jimmy replied.

“Call me Hannah.” Hannah ordered.

“Not permitted by Mr Wells.”

“…” Hannah resisted no more.

Max was not permitted, Jimmy either. She took a deep breath, remaining calm. No need to care for a title, she told herself.

“Then let’s call it a day.” She said.

“Yes, Mrs Wells.” He nodded.

Hannah walked out of the office as Jimmy followed. Thanks to the silent driver, it was so quiet inside that a falling needle could be heard. Hannah was a bit weary so she indulged herself to be lost in the neon glow shining outside the city for a rest. In such peaceful moments, she used to doubt if it was real for whatever she had been living through, and if she would finally wake up and find all that was a dream.

Her phone rang suddenly and drew Hannah back from her thought. She glanced at the number on the phone and fetched it up. “Hi, Susan,” she said.

“Guess! Who do I see in the Emperor Club?” Susan said mysteriously.

“Manuel?”

“Stop it. It sounds lousy to my ears!” Susan yelled offended.

“Then who is that?” Hannah giggled.

“I see Oscar.” Susan announced.

“Anything wrong?” Hannah said peacefully.

“And I see a woman accompanied with him.” Susan added.

“So anything wrong?” Hannah said still.

She shouldn’t have been emotional for it.

But why had he promised her that he would stay fidelity to her?

Anyway, men are nothing but liars. His promise could not stay valid even for a day.

“He is your husband, but has another woman at his side. Then you asked me anything wrong with that. Are you serious?” Susan raised her voice.

She had expected Hannah to come to break the debauchery.

“We are not those spouses as you expected.” Hannah replied.

“Not as I expected?”

“Whatever he does means nothing for me.” Hannah got tired of explanation.

“So…” Susan concluded, “You’re friends with benefits?”

“…”

“Bingo, right?” Susan could not wait to make a judge.
