Chapter 139 Lucky Susan

"She is with Henry now." Edward looked around and said, "She should be in the hall. Do you want to talk to her? I ask someone to call her over."

"It's okay. I'm just asking." Hannah smiled and said at ease, "What do you think of Henry?"

"I didn't want them to be together before. Whatever, my daughter's boyfriend should also be a person who can match her. But I don't think there would be a dandy boy who will fancy her, so I gave up to intervene. I used to underestimate Henry, but I realized that he's hardworking. I'm a little moved by him. In the future, the property of the Phillips will be handed over sooner or later. Manuel clearly said he wouldn't take over, so there is only Susan. Though she is completely unreliable, now Henry is with her. That's really reassuring." Edward objectively commented on the relationship between Susan and Henry. Hannah listened silently.

She thought Henry was indeed not simple. He deceived everyone, including herself in the previous life.

They chatted for a while.

Miguel said, "Hannah, I'll take you over to meet some friends of mine."

This old man obviously couldn't resist starting to cultivate her.

Hannah let go of Oscar's hand.

In front of her father, Oscar seemed to restrain himself a lot, for he kept his hand off Hannah.

When she released his hand, Oscar obediently let go of her hand too.

"Oscar, do you want to go with us?" Miguel asked.

"It's okay, dad. My eldest brother is over there. I'll go over and say hello." Being very self-aware, Oscar left.

In fact, in upper class, there were still many taboos. For instance, one of the spouses would give the other space, when he or she was engaged in some communication on business. Otherwise, there would be suspicion of coveting the property of one side.

Oscar was a man who had very good people skills and did well in deflecting and complimenting.

Seeing Oscar leaving, Hannah followed her father to greet his business friends. She was socializing under the guidance of her father with effortless interpersonal skills.

From a distance, Susan thought Hannah was so dazzling.

She stood far away and looked at Hannah.

Susan had noticed them as soon as Hannah and Oscar came in. If Henry were not with her, she would definitely go to replace Hannah.

But she knew that Henry needed her more on this occasion, so she chose Henry.

"Hannah seems to have changed a lot." Henry noticed Susan's gaze at this moment. He also looked over there.

What he saw was a confident and dazzling woman, completely different from the woman in his memory, who didn't like to show herself very much.

"Hmm." Susan nodded and said, "She's become a strong woman, who is indestructible."

"Maybe Charles' thing hurt her much. That's why she has such a big change." Henry speculated.

Susan gave a nob of approval.

It seemed that she agreed with Henry's point of view.

She was thinking that if one day she was also cheated, maybe she would change like Hannah, or maybe she would choose to end her life.

She had had no advantages but luck since she was a child. Everything had been smooth with her, except the death of her mother. Even though she used to get bad grades at school, she had finally succeeded to get into a university by luck.

She thought herself was the lucky one in God's favor so that she wouldn't be cheated by scumbags.

"Mr Wang is coming." Henry looked at a middle-aged man who walked in the banquet hall, "We are working on a loan project. I'll go over to say hello. Do you want to go with me?"

"Okay." Susan planned to accompany Henry all the time tonight.

Today, it was the home-court of the Phillips family and she wanted everyone to know the relationship between Henry and her. They walked over.

Mr Wang walked directly past them and stretched out his hand to Manuel enthusiastically, "Mr. Johnson, it's been so long." Henry was a little embarrassed.

Susan saw Mr Wang taking the initiative to hold Johnson's hand and flattering, "Do you plan to work in Phillips Bank immediately to help Mr Phillips take care of the bank?" "No." Johnson said, "I have no plans to work in the bank."

"It seems that I have to wait for a few more years? You young people have your own ideas, and I'm very supportive. I happen to work on a loan project with your bank. I thought that you work in Phillips Bank, so I came to talk with you about it."

"Henry is in charge of much work in Phillips Bank. You can directly talk with him." Johnson saw the two people next to him at this moment.

And he gave a signal for Mr Wang with his eyes to see Henry.

"We've been talked about it several times. It's almost decided." said Mr Wang, with a polite smile.

"That's good." Johnson didn't want to say more. He was so cold. "My friend is over there. I have to go over first."

"OK. When you take over Phillips Bank, please don't forget me."

Johnson wanted to explain but soon he thought there was no need to explain.

Anyway, it would not change his image in Susan's mind whether he explained it or not.

There were possibly half of the people at the banquet thinking that Manuel would be the heir of Phillips Bank.

When Susan had insisted on being together with Henry, Mr Phillips had threatened her that she wouldn't get a penny of the property of the family in the future and that he would give all the wealth to his stepson, Manuel Johnson.

Susan would always let the one who threatened her disappointed, so she had been with Henry.

Once they were together, what Edward Phillips had said was believed to be true.

In fact, it was not merely Edward's words that made everyone believed Manuel Johnson would be the heir of the Phillips family, who was not related by blood, but Edward's love to Justine Knight, Manuel's mother. Edward would give his wife anything that she wanted. Besides, Susan was indeed not capable enough. She only knew to how have fun, and had no mind to manage the family business. So it seemed to be a matter of course that Edward would hand over the family business to Johnson.

Whatever, it was better than handing it over to Henry.

In the upper class, everyone still looked down on a poor boy like him.

Therefore, when Manuel left, Mr Wang walked away without any intention of taking the initiative to greet Henry.

Susan was so furious at everyone's attitude to Henry.

They were blind to Henry's dedication and efforts.

Was he inferior to others just because he was born from poor family? Why did he have to be looked down upon by everyone?

"Susan." Henry noticed her feelings and said gently, "Don't be mad. I'm all right."

One day, he would impress everyone with what he achieved!

Henry's eyes flashed a cold gaze but it was fleeting soon.
