After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 29

Loretta didn’t believe the woman she saw on the dance floor was Michelle.

Loretta always thought Michelle was a country bumpkin, who had been born in a poor family, and who knew nothing about skincare or fashion. Michelle was nothing in the eyes of the rich wives.

Rumour had it that Michelle set Miguel up when she was young so that Miguel would marry her. After Michelle was married to Miguel, she was nobody in the family, just like a caretaker.

However, Loretta was so jealous when she saw Michelle dressed elegantly, and that Miguel held a grand birthday party for her. No woman in the Kensbury City had ever enjoyed such treatment.

It wasn’t only for Loretta.

Miguel’s sister-in-law, Esther, too, thought the same.

Esther looked down on Michelle all along.

Esther married Miguel’s brother not long before Michelle married Miguel.

But she never saw any good in Michelle. She liked to pick on Michelle, and she even collaborated with Miguel’s mother to give Michelle a hard time.

Michelle tolerated all of that.

If Miguel didn’t inherit the Cooper family’s wealth, Michelle would still be the nobody who got bullied by everyone.

Nobody would ever expect that Miguel would value Michelle like this.

Michelle was probably becoming the hot topic in the upper-level society after the words got out.

Especially when Michelle looked so young and pretty after putting on the right dress and makeup. Furthermore, she had a perfect body figure that most of the women in her age didn’t have.

Loretta became more jealous.

However, she had to control herself and hid her jealousy.

The guests in the living were enjoying the graceful dance from Miguel and Michelle on the dance floor.

Some were jealous, some were envious, and some were just being a busybody.

Anyway, the birthday party was going to become the topic of the town among the upper-level society, which meant that Michelle was finally going to feel proud among the rich wives’ circle.

Hannah watched her parents dancing with a smile on her face.

Then, she heard a familiar voice rise beside her.

“I’ve heard it from Theodore. You’ve spent thirty million to buy a token of love for the girl you like.” It was Manuel’s voice, “I didn’t know you’re into mature women.”

They were discussing the sapphire that cost thirty million that was now embedded in Michelle’s tiara.

Theodore spewed out the wine he was drinking.

People who stood beside Theodore was disgusted by his action.

Theodore wiped his mouth and gloated over Oscar’s misfortune, “He got stood up.”

“What?” Manuel knew what happened, but he wanted to make fun of Oscar.

“Isn’t it obvious? Oscar’s goodwill was wasted.” Theodore turned around and asked Oscar, “Am I right?”

Oscar looked back at Theodore, and he left out of a sudden.

“Hey…” Theodore tried to stop him.

‘I’m joking. Why does he get mad?’

The next second, Theodore realized he overthought.

He saw Oscar held a woman’s hand in the dark and headed to the backyard of the Cooper manor.

Hannah got pulled out of the party out of a sudden.

She didn’t mean to overhear their conversation.

What surprised her more was what Manuel, Theodore and Oscar said. Were they even close?

Hannah grew up with Manuel, but she never saw him talking to Oscar before.

Hannah’s mind went blank.

Suddenly, Hannah sensed danger.

She was pushed against the wall in the backyard.

Oscar was pressing against her, and he was looking down at her from the top.

“Oscar, what madness is this?” Hannah struggled and wanted to get away from Oscar.

“Ms Cooper, you know what made a woman irresistible for a man? It’s when she plays hard to get.”

‘Bullshit!’

Hannah wanted to scold Oscar with bad words.

She glared at Oscar in anger. And he was staring at her motionlessly.

“Ms Cooper, you embarrassed me in front of my friends.” Hannah could feel Oscar’s husky, deep voice and his breath on her face.
