After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 344

Soon, Hannah and Miguel arrived at the spot.

Besides invited attendants, there were journalists from all media. Hannah and Miguel were both arranged to be seated in the first row, where attendants from the Top Four families and officials-in-charge from the Municipal Bureau of Land Management took their seats. That was to say, the Wells, the Coopers, the Sawyers and the Phillips all attended.

“Hannah!” Susan hurried to yell at her, whose seat was nearby.

Hannah smiled decently to reply. Susan ran over to her, acting like an elegant lady who didn’t seem to concern about her image.

“Hannah, so glad to see you here! I thought I would be alone to attend this boring meeting with my father.”

Hannah told her to lower her voice. Those officials from the bureau were sitting right next to them. Perhaps only Susan would be that bold enough to complain right in front of them.

“I wanna sit right next to you.” Susan pleaded.

After some consideration, she walked over to Edward together with Susan, “Hi Edward, may I ask if we could exchange the seats? I wanna sit next to Susan. Maybe you can take the seat next to my father.”

“Sure thing. Hannah, please watch over Susan in case she acts indecently in this formal occasion.” Edward stood up and said gently.

“Okay.” Hannah nodded.

Susan looked a bit annoyed. Hannah forced her to sit down, “Hey, behave yourself!”

“If he worries I will embarrass him, he should have let me stay at home. I don’t even wanna be here!” Susan was badly complaining about her father.

“You gotta learn to understand your father. You are his only daughter to rely on. Of course he’s gonna cultivate you into a capable heir. Now your father has divorced for your sake. Have you ever wondered how lonely he feels?” Hannah tried to reason with her.

Speechless, Susan pouted.

During these days Susan worked with her father, and their relationship had been a bit better. However, she found her father was indeed ageing.

She remembered how violently he coughed while making speech in a conference. She could clearly see the gray hairs on both his sideburns. Susan told herself not to think about it. Meanwhile, she still clearly remembered the moment when her mother passed away. She swore she would never forgive her father for that.

At 3:00 PM, the meeting was started. After delivering a speech about the planning of the project, the official announced the bidding process, to which Hannah paid full attention.

Susan couldn’t help wondering how Hannah managed to sit still in this boring meeting. She found herself too impatient to stay still here.

The meeting lasted for an hour and a half. After it was over, all attendants and journalists started leaving.

“Hannah, let’s have dinner together.” Susan clung to her.

“But I need to get down to the planning for the bidding.”

“You can leave it tomorrow. I heard Oscar had left the city. Don’t you feel lonely?” Susan asked with a smile.

Since they were kids, Hannah found it hard to refuse Susan. Whatever Susan asked for, Hannah always compromised if it didn’t offend her bottom line.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Hannah said to her father, who was talking with Edward, “Dad, I won’t be back to the office. Susan and I have an appointment.”

Miguel replied with a smile. Of course, he could tell that they planned to hang out for fun.

“Okay, I will get back to the office then.” Miguel agreed.

“Okay.” Hannah nodded.

After saying goodbye to Edward, Miguel left.

Hannah called Jimmy here to pick them up. Since it was still too early for dinner, Susan suggested they should go shopping first. Hannah agreed.

However, with her hand on her belly, Susan suddenly retched.

“What’s wrong?” asked Hannah.

“I don’t know. Maybe it’s just carsickness.” Feeling unwell, Susan answered.

“I don’t think you have carsickness.”

“Don’t’ you remember how drunk I was after Oscar’s party? The sickness still haunts me deep within my stomach. I wonder if there is a stomach bug.”

“Have you gone to the hospital for a check?” Hannah asked.
