Worship The Ground You Walk On novel Chapter 25

Claudia was surprised to see Hanna here.

As Amber looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her, her eyes suddenly looked glassy. Her face looked cold. “What are you doing here?”

After she questioned Hanna, Amber added, “And what did you mean by what you just said?”

Hanna looked at her. The smile on her face looked tender and beautiful. And she was as peaceful as a lady, showing her temperament as an heiress.

Her voice sounded soft, and she said lightly, “Mrs. Crawford and Ben asked me to be Conrad's governess and to help Claudia take care of Conrad.”

Amber was shocked, “A governess?”

How could she not know that Hanna was a teacher once?

It was obvious that her coming to be a governess was a lie. And her other intentions were the real deal!

“Did they ask you to look after Conrad? How come I never heard that you were a teacher?” Amber asked. The look of panic on her face and the look of jealousy in her eyes gave herself away.

Hanna curled her lips gently, “That's true. It's true that I don't have a degree in teaching, but Ben and Mrs. Crawford have insisted that I be Conrad's governess, so there's nothing I can do about it!”

She didn't want to talk to Amber anymore. The instant her voice broke off, she walked over and intimately took Claudia's arm, “Come on, let's go home.”

Claudia was slightly stunned. She couldn't imagine Hanna's sudden appearance. And she didn't know what her intention was in saying this.

However, before Hanna left, Amber added, “Miss Lewis, since you've come to the Evans Group, so I guess you might have something important to do.”

“I don't have anything important to do. I just happened to be here on an errand!” Hanna turned around and explained.

Amber's almond-shaped eyes blinked, “I wonder what errand it is?”

Seeing that Amber wanted to know why she was here, Hanna turned around and said, “It's about the auction of the Evans Group's old mansion and cemetery in the suburbs. Why?”

Amber was not shocked by her words. However, her words made Claudia's mind go blank, and Claudia was shocked to her core.

The old mansion was going to be auctioned off?

When did this happen? As the only heiress of the Evans family, Claudia's only family property was going to be auctioned off...

Hanna sent Claudia and her son back to the Crawford house. In the end, Hanna spoke slowly, as if clearing the doubts on Claudia's mind.

“Are you wondering why the old mansion of the Evans Group is auctioned off?”

Her words brought Claudia back from her depressing thoughts in an instant. Then she looked at the woman in the driver's seat with dismay.

Hanna turned her head, looked at her, and added, “I don't know exactly why. As the only offspring of the Evans family, you surely wouldn't want the old mansion to be auctioned off, do you?”

Claudia wondered what Hanna was trying to tell her.

Claudia's eyes were glued to her face as she frowned slightly.

“Coincidentally, the Lewis Group happens to be in charge of this project...” Claudia was surprised to hear this.

And her implication was clear.

The Lewis Group had always been in the real estate business, so it made sense that they would be in charge of the auction. And the Evans Group had borrowed a very high amount of money from Lewis Group many years ago. Because Evans Group had been defaulting on its debts, the Lewis Group took back its mortgaged old mansion.

“I can help you to keep the old mansion as long as you want, but in terms of money...”

Hanna drawled. And an embarrassed look clearly appeared on her face.

Claudia wondered if it was about money.

Claudia hesitated. The Evans Group's only old mansion, where she had lived as a child and the cemetery where all of her ancestors were buried, was of great significance.

“Why don't you talk to Ben about this? If you have enough money, I can help keep the mansion for you.” Hanna said frankly.

Claudia lowered her eyes and said she would have to think about it.

As she watched Hanna drive away, she sighed slowly. If she wanted to redeem the old mansion, she would need hundreds of millions of dollars. However, would Ben lend her that money?

When she got back to her room, Claudia bathed Conrad, changed his diaper, and put him to bed. Then she had some time to text Kim about this.

Kim called Claudia five minutes after receiving her message.
