After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 8

Hannah looked towards Oscar.

Their eyes met in the air.

Both of them looked away almost immediately at the same time.

Oscar shouted at the host, “Hurry up and finish the deal!”

The host was watching fun too, and he quickly reacted, “Thirty million going once!”

“Thirty million going twice!”

“Last chance, sold! Congratulations to Mr Wells!”

Everyone applauded.

Oscar went to the stage and took the jewel under everyone’s attention.

The jewel was put inside a delicate glass jewelry box. The blue light was dazzling under the light, many people could not wait to see it up close.

Just then, Oscar walked towards Charles and Hannah.

Charles frowned.

He probably thought he was going to brag about the jewel he got.

Yet out of his expectation, Oscar handed the jewel straight to Hannah. “Take it.”

Everyone was so shocked that their jaw dropped.

They used to hear that Oscar was extremely debauched and he never played by the rules, now they finally witnessed it.

Hannah looked at Oscar.

“Didn’t you like it?” Oscar asked her.

He said it clearly and there was some sort of intimacy.

Hannah was inexplicably moved.

“Hannah won’t…” Before Charles finished his words, Oscar had handed the jewelry box directly to Hannah.

And Hannah took it over.

She took it over and did not reject.

Charles stared at Hannah in disbelief.

Hannah said, “Since Mr Wells insists, I couldn’t resist.”

Oscar obviously smiled.

His smile could bewitch every woman.

He looked away and said to Charles, “And this is what meant by a virtuous man won’t deprive someone of the thing he or she loves.”

He was teasing his hypocritical remark just now.

Charles’s look became gloomy.

And he did not intend to conceal it.

“Bye.” Oscar said to Charles.

Yet Hannah felt that he was saying that to her at that moment.

She watched him left in a carefree way.

She had to say that although he had acted a little more reckless tonight, he had indeed demonstrated his powerful aura.

So was that how he managed to win women’s heart?

“When had Oscar Wells become that handsome?” Susan used to have loose lips and she blurted out.

Charles looked even gloomier when he heard that.

Yet Hannah let out a smile that could not be discerned.

Charles always flaunted that he was different from other rich boys. He assumed himself to be a virtuous and extraordinary person and was always disdainful towards others.

The public also lauded him. They said that he was a genius that only existed once in a thousand years in Northfield. With his family background, knowledge and capability, he was so perfect that people blamed the god for being biased.

Hannah only then knew those reputations he had were all bought by the Sawyer family for him. They had let him grow up in an environment full of praises and attention, and had paved an ambitious way for him since he was little. Charles had believed in all of these and he really thought he was more magnificent than others.

He was certainly disgruntled when he was humiliated by Oscar.

Susan seemed to realize it was not a good time for her to say that.

She stuck her tongue out and said, “It’s been late now, Hannah, I have to go now.”

Hannah nodded. “Be careful.”

“OK.”

She left.

The charity banquet came to its end too and the guests all gradually left the hall.

Charles held back all his dissatisfaction and sent Hannah home.

Inside the car, Hannah did not speak. She glimpsed at the sapphire intermittently.

Charles did not speak too. It was obvious he was still in a rage.

He could even imagine how the media would describe him tomorrow!
