After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 519

Chapter 519 Conspiracy (12) Breakthrough

Hannah looked at the thrilled old man with composure.

He seemed to feel useless talking about this, so he stopped. "Alas, it is the matter of the aristocratic families, nothing to do with we ordinary people, and nothing I can do."

Hannah pursed her lips, holding back the words.

Then she smiled and said, "I agree. We are just ordinary people. We'd better stay away from these affairs and live our own life."

He made a nod of consent.

Hannah started chitchatting, "It seems that you live alone. Where are your families?"

"Well, my son studied abroad and he just stayed there. Then he got married and had his children. My wife died last year, leaving me alone." He bemoaned.

"Oh, I'm so sorry."

"Never mind. It's all over."

Hannah didn't ask anymore. It was enough. After some small talk, Hannah left with the bottle of soy sauce. She didn't turn around until she saw the old man close the door.

Getting back in the car, Hannah said, "Tomorrow, we will come here once again."

"Any findings, Mrs Wells?"

"Not sure yet. I'll go into it."

"All right."

The following day, in the morning, Hannah asked one of Theodore's men to buy the best chicken broth in River Town. And she took it to Oscar's residential area in a thermos.

After arriving, she poured the broth into a big bowl, pretending it was a neighbour's kindness. She knocked at the old man's door, and he opened it.

He recognized Hannah, "Can I help you, love?"

"Good morning, sir. Remember I borrowed your soy sauce yesterday? I am sending you some broth to thank you."

The old man saw the big bowl of chicken broth in her hands, a bit surprised, "It was just a bottle of soy sauce. It's so nice of you."

"I just cooked much broth, but only my husband and I are home and we cannot finish it. So I am sending you some to have a taste."

He took the big bowl from Hannah, "One moment, I'll pour it into my bowl and give yours back to you."

"You don't need to pour it now, as it might scald you. You can keep my bowl, and I'll pick it up later."

"All right." He nodded.

Hannah left with a smile.

Hannah returned to the car and said to Jimmy, "Next time we come here, you pull out the internet cable of his flat."

Jimmy frowned, but he reconciled to her arrangement.

At 5 pm, Hannah presented at the old man's door again. The way he looked at Hannah was more amiable, "Wait a minute, love. I am fetching your bowl for you."

"All right." Hannah nodded. Standing at the door for a while, she saw him take the bowl out, which was washed clean.

The old man called her when she turned around and was about to leave.
