Hannah Joseph's words make everyone present take a breath of cold air.
Leo Bruce's face changes. He explains in a hurry in case Mr. Shahbaz might misunderstand him, "I bought this from Uncle Green before. Just because I know that you like the calligraphy and paintings of Thomas Smith, I take the liberty to bring it. It's not obtained in a wrong way and there is no other meaning. Please don’t misunderstand, Grandpa."
"All right." Mr. Shahbaz stops him, with a bad complexion.
"Mr. Smith is a honourable man. He is a model for politicians. But you can't even tell us where the painting is from. That's it. You can put away the painting. I don't want to see it any more whether it is genuine or fake. Behave yourself."
After saying this, Mr. Shahbaz turns around and looks cold, "I have something to do, so I am leaving. Hannah and Chester, you can stay here for me."
What the military and political family fears most is to receive the illegal things. As Hannah Joseph said, those things can even kill people, which is no exaggerated. So it's polite enough for Mr. Shahbaz to leave.
As soon as Mr. Shahbaz leaves, Leo Bruce's face turns green and white. Immediately he and Fiona Angela find an excuse to disperse everyone, and then they go to the lounge in disgrace.
"When did you understand calligraphy and painting?" Rainy Shahbaz stands aside and looks at Hannah Joseph suspiciously, "who taught you in your Joseph family?"
Hannah Joseph takes a look at her and says, "I like it. I have spent a little more time on it."
"What are you proud of?" Rainy Shahbaz is very dissatisfied with Hannah Joseph’s tone of speaking to her, "You only understand the painting and calligraphy. Who do you think you are? I don't want to be with you."
While speaking those words, she walks away.
Hannah Joseph wants her to leave early. From the very beginning, her eyes have been fixed on Leo Bruce and Fiona Angela in the distance.
"It is said that the Shahbaz family’s eldest daughter-in-law is weak in character, isn’t it? It's not like that. "
