After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 27

“I will not apologize to Hannah!” Martina screamed in the living room.

“I’m serious.” Charles didn’t want to hear Martina’s explanation.

“Hannah beat me up, and you want me to apologize? She should apologize!”

“She didn’t, and you’re making up stories.” Charles said.

“She did! Why didn’t you believe me? Susan and Hannah attacked me!” Martina panicked.

“Hannah was polite and gentle. She wouldn’t have attacked you.”

“She did! She did!”Martina made a scene in the living room. She would never expect Charles wouldn’t believe in her.

“I’m sick of your screams. Apologize to Hannah tomorrow.”

“No!”

“Martina, do you want to make our family go bankrupt?”

“We probably should!” Martina replied capriciously.

Loretta got a hold of the whole story. She threatened Martina, “Stop acting like a brat, or I’m going to get angry with you too.”

“Mother, why didn’t you believe me too?”

“I don’t care if what you said was true. Go apologize to Hannah tomorrow.”

“Mother!” Martina was upset, and she cried.

“It doesn’t mean anything even if Hannah did attack you. It’s the priority for our family and for your brother to marry Hannah. You have to butter her up since you’re the one who offended her. You can do whatever you want to only after she married your brother. Before that, you better put on a mask when you see her.”

Martina felt aggrieved, and she kept crying.

“Martina, you’re not a kid now. You have to set your priorities right. Don’t worry. Even if you apologize to Hannah tomorrow, I will help you to get even with her.”

Martina didn’t want to listen to what Loretta said at all. She kept crying and crying.

“It’s Michelle’s 50th birthday tomorrow. I will put shame on her,” Loretta consoled Martina, “Her daughter bullied you, and I will make her pay.”

Martina wiped her tears, “What would do you that?”

“Michelle had a bad taste in fashion all along. I will put on my best dress tomorrow and steal the limelight from her. You see, Michelle and I are the future in-laws, and people constantly comparing us to each other. When people started talking, Michelle would feel ashamed for sure. I wonder what gives her the courage to organize a birthday party for herself at the age of 50.” Loretta felt disgusted.

In the society of the upper class, the male chauvinism was obvious.

Loretta was jealous of Michelle for being able to organize the 50th birthday of her own.

Loretta always had the higher ground amongst the rich wives’ circle.

Loretta had a husband that loved her very much, a capable son and an obedient daughter. All the rich wives were trying to butter her up. Therefore, Loretta saw herself as better than other people.

Even so, Loretta never had a birthday party organized for herself, nor inviting people from the upper class with her husband’s name to attend her birthday party. However, Michelle, who was nobody in the rich wives’ circle all along, organized a grand birthday party for herself. It disgusted Loretta.

Tomorrow, Loretta will let Michelle knew that she would humiliate herself to do so when she is a nobody.

…

On the next day, the living room of the Cooper manor was crowded with people in the afternoon.

Michelle was surprised, for she didn’t know anything about the birthday party. And Michelle was kind of confused when she saw the event crew setting up.

“We’re celebrating your birthday with father, right? So I planned to give him a surprise with you.” Hannah got her story well-planned.

“Silly child. We have a birthday every year. There’s no need for surprises. Don’t startle your father.”

“He won’t be,” Hannah looked unhappy. She said, “Now, go enjoy your facial treatment, put on your makeup and get changed.”

“You really like to mess around.”
