A Crazy Wife novel Chapter 46

"Mom, I'm not capable enough." Hannah tries to explain.

"What abilities do you need?" Lily looks at Bryant and interrupts her, saying to herself.

"Bryant, since you let Hannah work in the group, then she is also representing the Shahbazs. She needs to have a post fitting her reputation in the company, regardless of her abilities. Doesn't you say Hannah is friends with that Madam Susan? If Mrs Susan knows that she is a small assistant, she will look down on us."

Showing no concern to the occasion, Lily not only damage her husband's face but also she brings up the least favourite topic of the family. Hannah listens, growing cold with fear for her mother-in-law.

After so many Hannah of being given the cold shoulder by the senior master in the Shahbazs, she is still holding on, it seems that this is not a matter of how thick Lily’s skin is, she also has no brain.

The senior master's brow furrows, and Bryant also looks sullen.

"Mom, I know you're doing this for my good, but it's not necessary," Hannah lowers her voice and says with ease.

"You said that I'm representing the Shahbazs. But I want to slowly move up the ladder by my own ability, then people will know that I am the face of the Shahbazs, and that is the real reputation I could win. My position is low, but after all no one knows me, don’t they?"

Seeing that Lily seems to disagree, Hannah busily takes another line.

"And if dad does offer me a department manager position, I cannot say for sure if the employers will obey me or not. And if I back out in the middle of the work, that's what disgraces the Shahbazs. I don't think I'm that capable."

Hearing this, Lily is stunned for a moment.

Bryant is much more sensible and goes down the steps given by Hannah immediately.

"Hannah has her own ideas, and we should respect that, no one's career is a quick success. Recently in London, there's a jewellery design competition. You've always been interested, haven't you, Hannah? You can sign up with the Shahbaz Group, and when you have a ranking, no one can say anything about how you are promoted."

"Dad's thoughtful." Hannah nods busily.

The Senior master picks up his chopsticks again to eat, and his face is already much better.

Everyone is relieved.

The emotions of everyone else at this table are almost written on their faces except for the brothers Chester and Zander, whose thoughts are not easy to see.

In fact, it is not difficult to live a good life in The Shahbazs, as long as you always follow one thing to ensure that The Shahbazs' face is not lost, then the most authoritative senior master in the Shahbazs will not have anything to say about you, and the senior master holds all the power of speech in the entire The Shahbazs.

After the meal, the people chat for a while and then go their ways.

The senior master is the first to return to his room to rest, and Bryant, as the father, symbolically asks a few of the younger generation about their condition. He asks Chester about his health, asks Zander about his business, and then asks Rainy about whether she's a bit more restrains in his eating, drinking and playing. The questions are always the same, and then they go back to their respective rooms.

Into the night, Hannah composes before the computer. With the dim light, her back looks especially soft.

Chester finishes half the book and looks up just in time to see the scene.

In the corner of the table against the window, Hannah holds a drawing pen in her hand. It seems she thinks of something, so she rushes to draw a few strokes on the electronic screen.
