After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 5

Hannah’s phone rang in the main hall.

She took a glimpse at her phone and picked up the call. “Hey, Susan.”

“Hey, there’s a charity banquet tomorrow, would you join?” Susan forgot to ask her when they separated today. She seemed to only recall that now.

Hannah paused and recalled the timeline back then:

There would be an annual charity banquet in Kensbury City tonight and most of the noble lords of the city would join. Usually, she would not attend such a banquet, therefore she would basically reject. Charles was tolerant too and he never asked her to accompany him to social events.

She really thought Charles did that for her own good back then, yet she only knew now that he only wanted to restrict her in a cage and forbid her to socialize with anyone, so she would not have the power to overturn her fate.

“I’ll go.” Hannah answered.

“Did I hear it wrongly? I’m just asking.” Susan specifically enjoyed taking part in various events and she would wish for someone to keep her company.

Yet she did not hold any hopes.

“Let’s choose our gowns tomorrow together.” Hannah suggested.

“You’re not lying to me, right?” Susan was still doubtful because she used to refuse to join the banquets no matter how she cajoled her.

“See you tomorrow.” Without giving further explanations, Hannah hung up the call.

Miguel was a little surprised when he heard his daughter’s words. “Hannah, are you joining the charity banquet tomorrow? I thought you didn’t like to join such social events?”

Hannah felt that she was really a bad daughter in her previous life.

She had concentrated all her attention on one man and had never contributed anything to her family. She had even caused the destruction of her family in the end.

She gave a promise, “Dad, from today onwards, I’ll protect our family, I’ll help you to manage the Cooper Group. I’ll make our family continue to stay glorious until the coming generations and no one could seize it from me, including Uncle Roger and his family!”

Miguel was once again impressed by his own daughter.

Such an aspiration had not been seen on her before. He had once thought to let her take care of the family business too, yet he never forced her. He knew she had had her heart all set on Charles and he had planned to let Charles take care of the Cooper Group after their marriage.

Yet it was certainly better to let his own daughter take care of it. Miguel was thrilled and he said, “Good, I believe in you!”

Hannah let out a smile.

She would definitely secure the Cooper Group with her own hands in this life and she would not be foolish enough to let Charles take over it anymore!

…

In the afternoon the next day, Hannah and Susan went to the luxurious gown area to pick their evening dress.

Both of them chose their favorite and put it on.

They then sat in the makeup room to dress up and put on makeup.

“Have you gone normal?” Susan asked Hannah.

Hannah was startled. “What?”

“Yesterday, Oscar…”

“Susan.” Hannah’s expression changed and she stopped her.

Susan bit her lower lip and murmured. “I have no idea what’s so good about him!”

She certainly meant Oscar.

“I heard that Manuel is coming back,” Hannah digressed. She was afraid that Susan who was not good at keeping secrets would blurt it out.

They were now at a high-class gown area and everyone they came in contact with was all from the top of the upper-class community. If someone was eavesdropping on them, her plan would be exposed and ruined completely.

“So what, what does it have to do with me?” Susan showed a deprecating look. “By the way, how come I didn’t know that he’s coming back? Isn’t he living a good life now overseas? Why should he come back?”

“I thought he should have returned after graduating from college.” Hannah acted dumb.

“He better not come back.” Susan looked disgusted.
