After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 498

Chapter 498 Wiles

Everyone gathered around the table and began enjoying lunch.
Karen sat next to Oscar, timid. Anyway, Hannah had been used to it and knew Oscar wasn't very nice to Karen.
On the other side, Mary seemed in a bad mood. But she thought it over again. Karen was Oscar's younger sister and Oscar was tolerant of her though he hated physical touch from others. So she concluded that they were close. As far as she could tell, Karen didn't get on well with Hannah. Otherwise, she would have just sat down next to Hannah, instead of Oscar. So, it meant Karen might help her win Oscar's heart if she pleased her. Thinking of it, Mary picked up a piece of food, put it on Karen's plate and said friendly, "Karen, eat up. Make yourself at home."
Karen raised her eyes to look at Mary, nodded her head and replied politely, "Thanks." Then she lowered her head to eat the meat, but suddenly, her face turned pale.
"What's wrong?" Mary was surprised.
"What kind of meat is it?" asked Karen.
"Rabbit meat. The cook is very good at cooking rabbits. Here are the legs." Mary said, trying to lick her boots.
"RABBIT?" Karen's face went pale in a second, "Rabbits are so cute. How can you eat them!"
Mary was puzzled, while Hannah was smiling beside them. When speaking of being a bitch, Karen was second to none.
"Oscar, I'm done. I don't feel like eating now!" Karen acted like such a victim and pulled Oscar's hand, "I wanna get out of here."
Oscar was a little embarrassed. Then Karen glimpsed at Miguel and Michelle.
Michelle came in for the rescue, "Oh, I don't know Karen is a rabbit person. How about this? I'll tell the cook to make another lunch for her. What's your favourite food, Karen?"
"She can have some beef and vegetables." Said Oscar. At the time, he didn't want any trouble caused by Karen.
"OK, no problem. I'll tell the cook to make the beef soup and vegetables for her right now."
"Sorry for the trouble, mum."
"It's okay." Saying it, Michelle left the dining table.
Karen pulled Oscar's hand and left the dining table as well. Hannah watched their backs and turned around to pay a glance at Mary. Indeed, Mary looked embarrassed. She had tried hard to kiss Karen's ass but got fucked up. She buried her head and said nothing, to save herself from the embarrassment.
A moment later, the cook had finished making the beef soup with vegetables. He was carrying the soup and walking over to Karen in the garden. Mary saw it and said, "I'm on it. I've upset Karen just now. Now I can make an apology with the soup."
Undoubtedly, the cook handed the food to Mary. Hannah tried hard not to laugh and waited for a big show.
Mary carried the food and looked for Karen in the garden. Oscar and Karen were sitting in the pavilion, where there was a small tea table. Mary put the beef soup on the table and said, "Karen, here's your beef soup."
"Thank you. Sorry for the embarrassment." Karen said shyly.
"Not at all. It wasn't your fault. Come on." Mary said.
Karen nodded her head and said thoughtfully, "Oscar, get back to lunch. I'm OK here."
Oscar stopped crossing his legs and stood up to go into the house. Mary watched him leaving and went absent-minded.
Karen had noticed that Mary wanted Oscar long ago. She was born to be very sensitive, especially to those who had a crush on her brother, Oscar, and she could see them through at the first sight. She was pretty sure that Mary wanted to take Oscar away from Hannah. Of course, she couldn't let it happen because she had enough of Hannah. Therefore, everything she had done today was a part of her plan.
She said with a nice smile, "You're so different from Hannah."
"Hmm?" Mary came back to earth.
"You care more about me than she does." Karen said sorrowfully.
Mary acted to be taken aback and said, "How come? Hannah is a nice person. She and Oscar is a sweet couple."
"But she isn't nice to me. I mean it. She knew rabbit meat would make me sick, but she didn't tell you. You know what, she just wanted me to be embarrassed."
"Is there any misunderstanding between you two?"
"Of course not." Karen said firmly, "I can feel it when someone is nice to me."
Mary looked helpless, which meant she had agreed that Hannah wasn't a nice person.
"Don't you go for lunch?" Karen said.
"I'm almost done. Let me stay with you. You'll be bored alone here." Mary was pleasing her.
"Would you like some?" said Karen.
"Yeah. Let me grab another spoon and plate." The cook gave her a spoon and a plate only. Mary stood up instantly.
Suddenly, Karen spilt the soup. Mary was freaked out and tried to take Karen's hand away, only to find that Karen's hand was burned by the hot soup.
"God! Are you OK?" Mary asked anxiously.
Suddenly, Karen screamed out loud. It was so loud that everyone in the house was attracted. Hannah took it lightly, and Oscar wasn't in a rush, either. But Lorie, Miguel and Michelle were all in a hurry.
"What happened?" Michelle stepped forward and asked. She couldn't help to be in a panic when she saw Karen's burned hand. Karen was injured on her first visit to Cooper Manor, and as the hosts, Michelle felt they must be responsible for it.
Karen was weeping like a poor creature.
"I put down the beef soup. And Karen spilt it accidentally when she was about to eat..."
But Karen interrupted before Mary finished speaking and turned to Mary, "I know you don't like me, but how could you do that to me? Why did you spill the soup onto my hand on purpose?"
Hearing it, Mary was dumbfounded. She couldn't what she heard.
"Mary came out and said I was making a fuss over it. She said I didn't eat rabbit meat on purpose only to pretend to be a soft person." Karen said with a deep grievance, "But Oscar knows I don't eat rabbit meat. He always knows it. I have had a heart attack since I was little, and I have very few connections with the outside world. I don't know how to get on well with other people. Please... please don't blame me if I've made some mistakes..." Saying it, she was crying harder. Hannah had chills in the back when seeing her crying face. Then, she turned around to glance at Oscar and winked at him, as if she was saying, "See? Your sister is a real bitch!"
