After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire -
Chapter 105 Being Slapped
Never had Roger expected that he would get into such an embarrassing position. He literally overshot himself. Not only did he fail to embarrass Hannah, but risked the future of both Mary and Wayne. "Okay, that's so much about the assignments for the three of them."
"Toby, mark them down." Said Miguel strongly.
"Yes, sir."
"I will have your result verified according to the record three months later. And the verification will be processed according to today's decision."
"Copy that." Toby replied respectfully.
After that, Miguel turned to look at the other senior executives, "Gentlemen, if there's no objection...well, Hannah, you may dismiss yourself." As the rest of them all responded with silence, Miguel hinted at Hannah.
She nodded and said respectfully, "Goodbye, gentlemen." Then she left the conference room. As soon as she walked out of the door, a smile appeared on her face. Never would Wayne and Mary expect such an awful change, she bet. With clear knowledge of the coming market trend, the rigorous goal didn't seem to be a big challenge for her. However, asking for Wayne and Mary, it would be a mission impossible for both of them. Hannah returned to her office. As soon as she sat down, Mary knocked on the door and came in. Smiling, she didn't seem to know what was expecting her yet. Perhaps she was here to see the great embarrassment on Hannah's face while hearing that she just 'survived' the senior executives' conference.
Hannah remained composed as usual. Then Mary said wryly, "Hannah, as you required, here are the resumes of all the members of our department."
Then she placed a pile of resumes in front of Hannah.
Hannah glanced at her, "Call me Ms Hannah in the office."
Mary's wry smile suddenly went frozen. But then she nodded meekly, "Yes, Ms Hannah.”
"Alright, you're free to go."
"Okay."
"Wait, from now on, we are in the same boat." Hannah added.
Mary looked a bit surprised. Hannah smiled, "Your dad will tell you about it. Just get back to your work." Confused, Mary returned to her seat. Soon, she got a call from Roger.
"Dad?"
"Here is a notice from the conference. Just do as it requires." His voice obviously sounded unpleasant.
Meanwhile, Mary also noticed something different. She asked resignedly, "Dad, I will do whatever you request."
Roger then coldly restated what happened during the conference just now. After hearing that, Mary was stunned. She asked with disbelief, "Dad, why should I be bound together with Hannah? If she fails the goal, I will definitely get involved!"
"Stop asking! Just do it!"
Knowing that her dad was in bad mood, she hurried to reply, "Okay."
After that, Roger hung up the phone. Clenching the phone, Mary looked worried. She remembered it was her dad who proposed to embarrass and retaliate against Hannah. However, it turned out that they gained nothing but even got themselves in trouble.
While burning with anger, the door was suddenly pushed open. With a sulky face, Mary was about to lose her temper. But then she noticed it was Wayne, who entered and then closed the door. Mary forced out a smile at him. Suddenly, he heavily slapped on her face. Aggrieved, Mary felt like tear welled up in her eyes, "Wayne, I did nothing wrong..."
"Shut up, you fucking idiot! That's what you bring us after we make you return to the family? If it weren't because of you saying that Hannah was plotting against you, dad would never have set up this trap against her during the conference. If it weren't because of that, Hannah and Uncle Miguel wouldn't have maneuvered this chance to fight back and damaged my future! How dare you make me the sacrifice of your loss! How dare you, you little bastard!" his anger started running out of control as he continued.
Greatly humiliated, Mary kept shedding down tears. Though she knew she could do nothing about it, driven by madness, she still felt like tearing him apart.
"If you dare to try dirty moves like that once again, I am gonna kill you!" Wayne threatened. Regardless of her grievance, he turned around to leave.
If it weren't for the sake of Roger, he would have beaten this little bitch to death.
Gritting her teeth, she watched his back with hatred. Her pitiful eyes were soon filled with resentment. She swore to God she would let all the Coopers suffer and yield to her.
Meanwhile, in the midst of madness, Wayne felt like venting out his anger. As soon as he thought of the goal impossible to reach, he felt like strangling Mary. But then he paused when he saw Hannah come out of the office. His anger started burning stronger at the sight of her.
However, Hannah simply smiled casually, "Hey, Wayne, I heard you are gonna transfer to another position."
"Don't you gloat over it." Wayne walked to her front, "I bet a cocky and insolent girl like you will end up miserably!"
"The same to you."
Wayne turned livid.
"A man with little self-knowledge will definitely end up miserably."
"Who are you referring to?" Wayne gritted his teeth madly.
"I am sure you can tell." Hannah looked at him, with no fear.
Back into the old days, she had been resigned to his bullying. Ever since they were kids, he used to beat her and intimidate her with the absence of adults. There was once upon a time she reported it to grandma after she was enough with the bullying. However, her grandma actually accused her of being insolent and her disrespect against senior. In a word, she scorned at Hannah ratting on her brother. After that, she remained fearful to show up in front of Wayne. That was when Wayne turned to be her nightmare.
However, at this moment, Wayne finally noticed something different from her.
Ever since childhood, he had been conceiving Hannah as a coward, who never fought back under his bullying. In his perspective, there was no way she dared to look straight at him.
Thus, he couldn't help shivering when noticing her eye contact at this moment. He felt like she was no longer timid but tough.
