After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 19 Manuel Johnson

Hannah left the Emperor Club.

Just as she was about to get into her car to go back home, a thought struck her suddenly. She fished out her phone and dialed a number.

The call connected in no time.

The other end was bustling with noise.

"Hannah, why are you calling me at this hour?" Susan's somewhat excited voice came from the other end.

She was probably at the climax of his drinking.

"Where are you now?" Hannah asked.

"I'm at a club!"

"Emperor Club?"

"How do you know that?"

"I'm just at the entrance. Come out now."

"Why did you come here?" The voice on the other end immediately exploded with rage.

Hannah had never come to a nightclub.

"Come out and we'll talk." Hannah didn't feel like explaining on the phone.

Susan emerged from the club seemingly in a rush after the phone was hung up not long.

She really saw Hannah's figure at the entrance. She was waiting there.

"Did you really come here to just see me?" Susan felt incredulous.

"Go back with me now." Hannah immediately stated her intention.

"No way! You can't imagine how much fun I'm having now. How can I leave now?" Susan sounded extremely reluctant.

"I have some business with you."

"And what is that?"

"We'll talk in the car." Hannah then stepped into her car without warning.

Susan was really reluctant.

However, she was used to listening to Hannah ever since their childhood days. In the end, she ended up following her albeit with a pout on her lips. Hannah instructed the driver to head to the Phillips' villa.

Then, she revealed what she had come to say, "My mother's birthday is in half a month."

"What about it?"

"By that time, all the big four families of the higher echelon of society would get an invitation for the party."

"So...?" Susan was still in the dark as to what Hannah was trying to say.

It was a birthday party by the elders. Shouldn't such a matter have nothing to do with her?

As the younger generation, all they were tasked with was to dress up impeccably and make an appearance at the party.

"In the party, at around 10, you have to take the initiative and invite all the younger generation of the four families to have a drink at the Emperor Club?" "Why do I need to do that?" Susan probed.

"You can say that it has been a while since everyone has gathered, so they can't miss the chance to catch up." Hannah was obviously providing her with excuses. "Hannah, what are you trying to do here?"

"In the list of invitees, you must make sure that Jane, Mary and Charles are included." Hannah added thoughtfully.

"Hannah! I am really angry now!" Susan was flaming up.

Some random words had been spoken, and she couldn't understand them at all.

Hannah ignored Susan's outburst of emotion, "Just do like what I've said. The rest are not important."

"You are really going to enrage and suffocate me." Susan was fuming now.

"Don't tell anyone about this." Hannah didn't forget to put in one last reminder.

"You must be crazy!" Susan felt like she could no longer talk normally to Hannah at the moment.

Hannah didn't seem to be in the mood to elaborate too.

From the look of things now, nobody would believe her no matter how much she said.

The car slowly rolled into the Phillips' villa and stopped just at the main door.

Susan was on the verge of crying, "I still want to have some more fun at the nightclub!"

Hannah opened the car door and dragged Susan out of the car.

"Be a good girl. Go home now." Hannah pulled Susan all the way to the main entrance of her villa.

This was her second chance at life.

She really feared that Susan would repeat the same mistakes as last time.

"Yes." Susan looked completely unhappy.

It was only ten now. All the while she only ended up back home after midnight.

"Aren't you afraid that Manuel would come back and snatch away your inheritance? From now on, you should frequent the nightclub less ad go to work in your company more." Hannah put in some words of advice.

When Susan heard the mention of Manuel's name, her face immediately changed.

She retorted, "Don't ever bring up that name in front of me, alright? You would make me lose sleep."

"He's just living under the same roof as you." Hannah splashed some cold water in response.

"... That is why I want to run away from home!" Susan was very indignant.

Hannah frowned.

"I want to move out and stay together with Henry." Susan sounded excited when she described her plan.

"No way in hell!" Hannah cut her short.

Susan was on the brink of breaking down, "Hannah, just what is wrong with you now? Ever since returning from the Mount Northfield, you have been acting strange. Do you want me to replace a sorcerer to check on you to see whether you have offended some foul spirits?"

"I am just fine."

"That's great, then. So why are you locking horns with me in everything?" Susan sounded devastated, "You were never like this."

This was because she was oblivious to everything.

This was precisely the reason she kept making the same mistakes.

Hannah cut her short again, "Susan, how are things with you and Henry at this stage?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about this?" Susan had a shy expression on her face which was a rare occurrence.

"We have made a promise when we were kids. We promised each other to tell each other about our first night and first kiss. Are you going to hide things from me now?" Hannah showed dissatisfaction. Susan had never been able to refuse anything from Hannah, and she didn't know whether it had something to do with the fact that Hannah was six months elder than her. She addressed Hannah as her elder sister since she was young, and it had become something natural to her ever since, and she inadvertently always listened to her no matter what.

She replied, "We did kiss. What do you expect?"

"Did you guys sleep together?" Hannah was sure of this.

"I want that to happen too, but Henry is quite traditional in terms of his thinking. You also know that he's an orphan who is a little insecure. I thought that me being brash would scare him." "Alright then." Hannah nodded.

"What do you mean, alright then?" Susan was really tired of Hannah's nagging.

"Anyway, you can't sleep with him before you marry him."

"What about you?" Susan retorted.

Hannah always criticized her, so how was her relationship with Charles now?

Hannah hesitated.

At that moment, while faced with Susan's counterattack, she felt a little befuddled and perplexed.

Based on the normal timeline, she didn't lose her virginity yet.

She remembered losing her virginity during the first night of her marriage.

She thought that it was the best present from her for Charles.

In this lifetime, she would never allow Charles to touch her even once.

"Don't tell me you've slept with Charles!" Susan appeared very shaken when she noticed that Hannah was silent for some time.

"I didn't." Hannah refuted.

"Oh. I thought that you guys are sleeping together. But seeing that Charles is so noble and gentle, I can't imagine him having premarital sex." Susan muttered.

Her opinion of Charles was a good one.

Not only Susan, the whole of Kensbury City thought that Charles was the best gentleman in the world.

He was loyal, ambitious, gentle and classy...

A man who appeared so perfect would be a sight to behold the moment his disguise was forcibly removed!

"Enough. You should go back and rest now." Hannah urged her.

Susan reluctantly entered the villa through the huge entrance.

Hannah saw that she finally disappeared into her villa, so she turned around and was about to leave in her car too.

At that moment, not far away, a familiar male voice sounded, "Hannah."

Hannah froze.

She turned around and saw that Manuel was emerging from the darkness.

He was Susan's stepbrother, and he was just six months older than her. His birthday was just a few days away from Hannah's, and he was a little elder compared to Hannah.

The three of them practically grew up together.

No matter how much hatred Susan had for Manuel, the moment he became part of the Phillips family since she was eight, she couldn't avoid living her life with Manuel being part of it. Furthermore, they were always together since their primary school days and only until their university years that Manuel had gone overseas for his studies.

But now, he was back!
