Chapter 54 He Has Been Ridiculous Since He Was a Child
Chapter 54 He Has Been Ridiculous Since He Was a Child
A few days after the photo event, the Personnel Department of Shahbaz Group suddenly issues a
series of notices, including the resignation of Heather.
There is a lot of discussion in the design department.
"What's going on? It’s said that she will be promoted to the deputy director of design department, isn’t
it? How could it be her resignation?"
"Please don’t be the reversion of plagiarism."
"It can’t be. Didn't Smeta return the copyright fee to our company?"
"Don't do the wild guess. She seems to be job-hopping. This time she becomes famous because of
plagiarism. How many companies have offered their olive branch, and the treatment may be much
better than ours."
"..."
The gossip of the office is all heard by Hannah.
In fact, Heather's departure is a good thing for everyone in the design department. With such fierce
competition, everyone hopes that there could be less opponents, and even the departure of one
opponent can make things easier.
But in Hannah's opinion, the resignation of Heather is done deliberately, which probably related to
Chester.
Getting home after work, she surprisingly finds that Shahbaz family are all in the living room, even
including Zander, who rarely goes back home.
After saying hello one by one, she plans to ask Chester about this matter, but she is stopped by the
servant." Madam, a lady comes over this afternoon and gives you an invitation."
"Invitation?" Taken aback for a while, Hannah takes the simple white invitation, opens and reads it
while walking toward the sofa. Just after a glance of the invitation, it is taken away by a hand, as
quickly as the wind.
Immediately, Rainy's shocking and jealous voice is heard in the living room. "Mrs. Susan invites you to
a opening banquet at the Hot Spring Resort in South Mountain?"
The attention of everyone in the living room is attracted by the sharp, high-pitched voice. When Bryant
hears Mrs. Susan, he shows joy and puts down the newspaper. "This is a good thing. Mrs. Susan
knows a lot of people in London. She has friends in almost every industry. The business this time, we
owes it to her since she pulls the strings. You will inevitably ask her for help in the future. Hannah, you
can’t underestimate this banquet. You must go there."
Hannah nods obediently, "Dad, I know."
"What do you know?" Rainy is obviously dissatisfied, looking at Bryant. "Dad, don’t you know her?
She’d better not lose face in front of others. Mrs. Susan invites her alone this time. If something goes
wrong, there isn't even a rescuer."
Her voice is not loud or small, and everyone in the room could hear her, and she doesn’t even consider
Hannah's embarrassment.
As soon as Rainy finishes, Hannah smiles gently instead of being angry.
"Rainy, if you want to go, then you can go with me."
Rainy is obviously taken aback, but she still arrogantly holds her head high.
"Why do I go? They don’t invite me."
"That's a pity. Chester will definitely not go with me to this kind of occasion. I have few opportunities to
go to such a banquet before. If I am really nervous and make a fool of myself as Rainy says, it will be a
disaster."
Hearing this, Rainy is obviously smug, but she nods pretentiously. "Well, if this is the case, I'll go with
you, lest you lose the face of our family."
There is a sneer from the side.
"What are you laughing at?" Rainy gives Zander a dissatisfied look.
"Laugh at your overestimation of yourself. Obviously you want to go, but you deliberately find some
high-sounding excuses to step on the person who takes you out. If you really go, I think you are more
likely to be ashamed. If so, it’s better to take me there."
"What are you talking about?" Rainy's face turns blue with anger.
"Okay, stop!" Lily finally couldn't stand it, and directly scolds Zander in front of everyone.
"How can you speak like that with your sister! You have been slovenly all the time. Now you should
dare to sneer at your sister when your sister is going to the banquet? I think there’s no room at home
can make you stay."
"I don’t mean it," Zander looks at Hannah with complicated emotions, muttering, "It's just that I can't
stand my sister who bullies people all the time. After all, dear Hannah has married to our family, so we
are families."
Hearing this, Hannah is stiff.
Doesn’t he feel that it is messy enough? What kind of nonsense is he telling himself?
As expected, Lily looks back and forth between the two of them for a few times, with a surly face, "How
can you call her dear Hannah? She is your sister-in-law."
Zander shrugs indifferently, "I'm used to it."
"What?" Lily doesn’t usually pay attention to how Zander calls Hannah. When she hears this, she
remembers it, and her face is blue at the moment. But in front of her son, daughter, and husband, it’s
not proper to vent her anger.
Zander also knows himself well, and never comes back after answering a phone call.
Lily's dissatisfaction can only be vented to Hannah. Her first sentence is the extremely implied warning,
"I don’t need to teach you about keeping a distance with the man, do I?"
Hannah pretends to be confused, "What do you mean?"
"I mean that keep away from Zander."
These words are said deliberately in a low voice, so only Hannah, Lily and Rainy could hear them.
Hannah doesn’t say anything, but Rainy snorts and says in a very disdainful tone. "It’s the dissolute
Zander who gets around all day, so mom, it's useless to blame anyone. Why don't you take the time to
take care of Zander? He has been ridiculous since he was a child. You can't blame others for his own
ridiculous things for all his lifetime? See what you have done? Let things slide in their way? People who
don’t know the case think he is not born to the Shahbaz family."
Her words make Lily speechless.
But Hannah sees an uncomfortable look on her face.
Especially when Rainy mentions that Zander is “not born to Shahbaz family”, Lily obviously glances
nervously at Bryant who is reading the newspaper.
If it weren't for guilt, there wouldn't be that nervous look.
…
Two days later, it’s the day of Mrs. Susan's invitation.
The driver sends Hannah and Rainy to South Mountain Hot Spring Resort and the banquet is held in
the resort's own hotel.
As soon as she arrives at the scene, Hannah gets nervous because of a familiar figure from a distance.
But seeing him, Rainy feels uncontrollably excited. "Micheal is here!"
Rainy almost couldn't wait to walk forward. But within two steps, maybe thinking of something,
suddenly she stops, turns around very stubbornly and walks in the opposite direction.
Hannah doesn’t want to be troubled, so she does not ask deeply, following Rainy to another one. "What
happened?"
"Nothing, there is someone over there that I don't want to see."
"Who? Do I know?"
Rainy doesn’t want to explain, "You don't know."
As soon as they finish the talk, a familiar voice comes from behind the two of them, "Hannah? I
recognize you from a distance. It’s you, really. Why are you here too?"NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
To avoid their meeting, she even wants to hide herself, but Micheal comes forward to greet her
proactively, even in front of Rainy. Is this because he thinks her life at the Shahbaz’s house is too
easy?
