After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 398

Chapter 398 A Post Promotion

Charles was on leave today, resting himself in the Sawyer Manor, so furious with butts all around the floor. Thinking about Hannah's tricks on him, he could barely constrain the desire to tear her into pieces. That was why he was tired of work.
He was trapped in the house like a fierce lion which had its prey escape.
"What's up?" Charles answered the phone impatiently.
"What gave Hannah, that bitch, the guts to show off before me? She looked so arrogant and annoying when she signed the contract. How can I bare it? What is your solution? Don't you have anything to fight back and knock her to the ground?" Martina howled.
The blaze in Charles got much fiercer than before, thanks to her yelling sister. His face was as black as the cloud before a storm.
Martina's anger did nothing to dwarf Hannah's victory but just brought him more frustration.
He shouted, "That's enough. Let's move. I don't want anybody to mention it before me since from now."
"But, Charles…" Martina could not accept.
"That's it." Charles snapped, for his patience ran out in talking about the defeat.
He admitted that he was the loser this round.
But what about next?
Next, he must send Hannah to hell on his own.
"Just do something! Anything that can give her lessons, even small. It's not your style to allow her to win them all!" It was impossible for Martina to let go.
Charles's face got darker than any before. He had no way to fight back and make her regret standing opposite him.
He gnashed his teeth. As he was going to finish the call, an idea came up with him.
With a change in his expression, a hint of conspiracy could be found in his eyes.
"Martina," he shifted his tone.
"I'm hearing, bro," Martina answered angrily.
She could not erase Hannah's victorious look from her mind. So it was understandable how eager she was to slam that bitch to death.
"Susan is Hannah's best friend, right?" Charles inquired.
"Yes, another bitch." Martina said rudely.
"We have nothing to do with Hannah for the time being, but that doesn't mean the same to Susan."
"Charles, what do you mean by this?" Martina sensed a smell of conspiracy, which cheered her up.
Dealing with Susan was an idea more exciting for her.
Why could that bitch be with Manuel, her dream man?
"Is Susan pregnant now?" Charles asked, "And I remember that you don't want that baby can see the first light of the sun."
"True. But Henry is a fool who has nothing to do to have Susan give up the baby. I cannot count on that silly guy. And I wonder why you choose him?"
"I chose him for his cautiousness and calmness, which has been proved well by these days when he stays calm for the news of Susan's pregnancy. He won't take any rash action before the timing comes. Such character is rare and you could not find it in most others."
"Enough! No more praise for him. Without your persistent trust in him, he will barely have any chance to work with me."
"Fine. No more shitting." Charles added, "Now you can have my help to remove the baby from Susan."
"Really?" she asked. Martina was too excited to believe.
"Of course," Charles confirmed, "Now just come back home and I will show you the plan."
"Great!"
Putting down the phone, Charles made a grim laugh.
Hannah must pay the price for what she had done.
…
A meeting was on the way inside the boardroom of the Cooper Group building.
The beautiful ending of the project, South Bay New Town, earned a high appraisal from everyone inside the boardroom.
How they strongly opposed Hannah back then, was how they felt shameful at this moment. The most was Simon who might flee out of the earth.
But Hannah just took it easy and said, "Thank you all for your recognition of my job. I did cover many details for it was not the timing. And that led to your misunderstanding. It is my fault. I would like to beg for your forgiveness."
The remark did ease the board's embarrassment.
"You're right. We did misunderstand you for your concealing some news. And debates are inevitable in the business, for they are fundamental for a group's development. But this is not personal." One responded.
The board finally seized the chance to make a voice and ease their embarrassment.
"Since I know all your comments are impersonal, I stand here to express my apology," Hannah added.
"Let's put an end to this stuff. When someone here comes up with a suggestion, he or she must start for the benefit of the group. No matter if it is right or wrong, what we want is to end up good." Miguel opened a new page for this case and changed into a strict tone, "After this, an idea called at me. Of course, this is not something new for I have mentioned it before, to promote Hannah to the vice president of the Group. Now she has been working as a temporal head which I insisted is unequal to her ability and contribution. Now I would like to officially name her as our vice president."
"I approve." Simon was the first to stand up to vote.
Hannah laid a sight at him.
Simon added, "My doubt about Hannah came from two reasons. One was her age. She seemed too young to take up this position. And the other is Wayne Cooper. After all, Roger was our former president, and as his son, Wayne seemed more suitable for this position. However, he is fool enough and let us down. So we don't have any excuse to stay in the era of Roger. Ms Hannah does be more qualified and a perfect fit for this job."
"I agree too. No one is more qualified than her."
Miguel's proposal was approved by 100% of the board. Of course, nothing was better than recognition in business. Miguel was pleased by that too.
After the meeting, Hannah received the official offer soon and moved to the office of the vice president. Just in half of the year, Hannah climbed up to this position with all her own effort. Roger's era was gone. But there was still one, Mary Cooper.
She was smart enough to avoid any involvement in Roger's, which let her avoid the storm. But she was Roger's blood after all. And her existence was a time bomb for Hannah.
As in her previous plan, she wanted to use Mary to deal with Wayne. However, out of her expectation, Wayne was so stupid that he chose Charles as his ally. And he ended up so poorly.
Hannah put up the internal call and said to Rose, "Hello, Rose. Please call Mary to my office."
"Ms Mary Cooper?" Rose quested.
"Yes."
"Get it, Ms Hannah," Rose said respectfully.
Five minutes later, Mary knocked on the door and came in, "Hello, Hannah. Rose told me you wanted to have a talk with me."
She looked obedient. But this was not all about her, for Hannah had seen how well she played tricks of shifting allegiances.
"Just take a seat," Hannah said casually.
"Thanks."
Mary sat humbly before Hannah. She had seen Hannah's remarkable achievement and did admire her for her rapid development in such a short time. She was not the only one who expected Hannah's fall because of the project, South Bay New Town.
But out of her prediction, Wayne messed it up at last.
