Hannah Joseph sits at the dinner table and cuts the steak leisurely. She drinks a sip of red wine occasionally. She is in an ever rarely beautiful mood.
She really hasn't enjoyed a meal in such a quiet way for a long time. When she was in prison, everyone was scrambling to avoid missing a bowl of their own. When she returns to the Shahbaz family, she is almost overwhelmed by criticism and accusation.
Half an hour later, nearly at the end of her meal, she suddenly hears footsteps of walking downstairs behind her.
Rainy Shahbaz who is dressed in the latest style Chanel stuffs a small bottle of perfume into the bag after she sprays it.
Lily Pons stops her in time, "Rainy, are you going to buy a dress? Take your sister-in-law with you."
"Sister in law?" The words make Rainy Shahbaz stunned. She almost doesn't believe her ears.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Her eyes are fixed suspiciously on Hannah Joseph, who has eaten up the steak slowly at table.
Unbelievable! Her mom calls Hannah Joseph “your sister in law”.
Hannah Joseph coughs, ignores Rainy Shahbaz's hostile eyes, swallows the steak, and says gently and considerately, "No, mom, I am not picky on wearing. Our family don’t do business, so we don't need to waste too much money on this kind of thing."
"That doesn’t work. It's a matter of decency."
Lily Pons takes out a card and puts it on the table. "Take it, and remember to pick one for Chester."
Rainy Shahbaz isstunned.
Why is her mom so hospitable to Hannah Joseph?
Looking at the golden card, Hannah Joseph's eyes brighten, but she controls her emotion and picks it up slowly, “Thank you, mom!”
Her voice is loud enough. Lily Pons is stunned. When she recovers, Hannah Joseph has already stood up and walked to the porch to change her shoes.
"Huh! So good at pretending!" Rainy Shahbaz murmurs contemptuously, swinging her bag, and walking in her heels out of the door.
In a luxury dress shop in London—
As soon as Rainy Shahbaz arrives, she is surrounded by salesmen in the shop. Five shopping guides talk non-stop around her.
Rainy Shahbaz obviously has no idea. She hasn't tried anything yet. In the blink of an eye, there are seven or eight bags of packed accessories around her.
Although Hannah Joseph is ignored, she is also happy. She wanders around the shop full of dresses by herself and finally chooses a long silver gray boat neck yarn skirt.
