A Crazy Wife novel Chapter 50

"You've only worked for our company for a few days, but why are you so curious about peer groups?" Chester asks coldly and oppressively.

"Peer Group?" Hannah is stunned and also confused, "What? The trending topic of AP Group last night suddenly disappears on the Internet. I’m just curious about why AP Group is so powerful."

"What topic?"

"It’s about an actress, Queenie, you may not know her. She was sent to have dinner with the young master of the AP Group, as a hostess. Well, the girl didn’t want to sleep with him at all and she splashed him with wine. It ended up by the suspension of the actress for more than half a year. Now someone finds out that..." Hannah says the news in a few words. She deliberately uses the tone of a gossiper, speaking vaguely and even exaggerating a bit.

Just as she expects, Chester doesn’t get suspicious, and says indifferently, "It’s only an actress. If the AP Group can't even settle such a small matter, they’d better be out of the industry."

"Is this group great in the industry? How does it compare to dad's company?"

"It’s hard to say." Chester sips his tea and says in a slow tone. "The Shaw Group doesn't take jewellery as its main industry, and it first focuses on department stores. Jewellery, as a secondary industry, is just the extension of previous industry started a few years ago. But AP Group has been in jewellery for decades and has cooperation with the Miller family, the London antique family and the Smeta Group who has co-brands with other foreign brands. It has an extraordinary status in London's jewellery business."

Hannah nods and thinks for a moment, "Well, it must be a big man in this industry, but its boss is not a good man, is he? How could he teach his son to do this?"

Chester glances at her and says, “Bill Pope is an illegitimate son of the boss. Bill came back to his family when he was more than ten years old after the death of the legitimate son of the Pope family."

"Really?" Hannah looks at him and suddenly says, "Haven't you been in the troop? How do you know so much about these conglomerates in London?" She pauses for a second and blinks, "You are not having two strings to your bow, planning to inherit the Shaw Group after you demobilize, are you?"

Chester's suddenly looks at her deeply and says coldly, "You're setting me up to make me divulge something."

"What?" Hannah immediately sits up straight and quirks her eyebrows to deny, "I don't mean to do that, and you're the one who says all this. I just have a wild guess. What did I get you to say?"

Chester's frowns slightly, and he looks at her with slight vigilance.

The atmosphere at the table is suddenly stagnant.

Hannah finishes her food, picks her bag on the next seat, saying “I am in a hurry to go to work” and quickly leaves.

Whatever, she doesn’t mean to get him to say anything. Who knows that he is so frank today? She just asks something, pretending to be a layman, but who knows he would say a bunch of things about the relationship between these jewellery groups in London?

Who would have known these relationships if they haven’t intended to do the special investigation? Even the secret that Bill is the illegitimate son of the Pope family alone would never be heard by ordinary people.

So Hannah is right, Chester has two strings to his bow. He has a special study on running a business. Once there are any problems on the military side, he could have the Shaw Group as an alternate plan.

However, this plan is just against the interests of Zander. No wonder Zander behaves respectfully on the surface but molests his sister-in-law behind Chester’s back.

This may be the conflict.

When Chester sees Hannah quickly slip away, his vigilance instantly disappears, and he drinks a sip of tea as if nothing happens.

Clement who stands beside him, smiles, "It's obvious that you're trying to set Hannah’s words, but on the contrary, you say that it's her who is setting your words. Sir, that’s really smart."
