After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 2 I’ll Break off the Engagement

Susan was frozen and stared at Hannah for long. She didn't understand what had gone wrong.

Suddenly, Hannah's phone rang, which lasted for a very long while.

Susan couldn't stand it again and reminded her, "Hannah, pick up the damn phone!"

She wanted to know how Hannah was gonna explain to Charles.

Hannah tried hard to calm down and answered the phone in a very low voice, "Hello, Charles."

"Hannah, my love, sorry that I've been too busy to pick you up from the hospital today." Charles said in a warm and soft voice from the other end of the phone.

Hannah smiled ironically.

Charles was gonna take part in an election on the Influential Outstanding Youth a couple of days later. So, she went to the church and prayed for him, hoping that he'd be blessed by God and won the selection

Sadly, she had the accident because of him, but he even didn't come pick her up from the hospital. He just didn't care.

Charles used to be the top priority in her life. She was capable to be the most outstanding one, but she'd given up everything for him!

"Hannah, you OK?" Charles's voice sounded tenderer when he heard nothing back from her.

"Yup. I'm OK." Hannah said lightly, "I've prayed to God."

"Didn't you pray to God that we would have a happy marriage and a dozen of kids?" he kidded.

Of course she did! Hannah was a girl who believed in Love Is All before the accident. But she just found the wish was really disgusting when she thought of it now.

Before she died, she finally learned the truth that she couldn't get pregnant once in ten years because Charles had put birth control bills in her food all the time.

Ridiculously, she'd been humiliated by the Sawyers and sucked it for so many years.

To carry his child, she kept going to the hospital for treatments and even thought of having a test-tube baby.

"What's going on? Are you too tired?" Charles seemed to have noticed she was acting different and asked with concern again.

"I've been hiking with Susan since the early morning. I'm tired. Now I'm driving home."

"Sorry that I've got something in hand for the time. Otherwise, I could have come picked you up from the hospital." Charles sounded very guilty.

Hannah even thought it meaningless to show any emotion at that moment.

She had used to believe he'd been very busy with work before. But the fact was that he'd been busy having sex with another woman.

"Safe driving, sweetie." Charles urged.

Hannah hung up the phone without hesitation.

Susan looked at Hannah's indifferent face and bit back the words, thinking that Hannah had become a utterly different person. But she guessed Hannah might be back to normal tomorrow after a whole night's sleep.

The car ran back to downtown. Hannah drove Susan back to the Phillips Manor first.

"Susan." Hannah suddenly called her name.

Susan looked around and comforted her, "Hannah, go home and have a good rest. Don't think too much."

Susan was still funny and innocent. Those horrible things hadn't happened to her yet.

Hannah put on a smile. This was the first real smile since she returned to her 22.

"Thank God that you're still alive," she said.

"Hell. You're definitely out of your mind!" Susan was speechless, "My dad used to say someone like me would live a long life. That small car accident wouldn't kill me!"

Hannah also thought someone who was innocent and romantic and living a carefree life like Susan wouldn't die easily. However, in her memory, she ended up jumping off the 28th floor and killing herself. Hannah was heartbroken and couldn't get over the pain in her lifetime.

She was thankful that she'd been back to her 22, and everything was just right. Nothing had happened yet! And she still had got the chance to save it!

She calmed herself down and said, "Don't tell others what happened today."

"What did you refer to?"

"My deal with Oscar."

Susan rolled her eyes and said, "I'll zip it. Anyway, you'll be back to normal tomorrow."

However, she would be more determined the next day.

"I gotta go."

"Safe driving." Susan said with anxiety.

Hannah nodded and drove steadily back home. She drove back to the Cooper Manor ten years earlier, which was too familiar and strange to her.

Hannah felt she couldn't help to be overwhelmed by the emotions deep in heart.

Her parents wouldn't have died in the car accident if she hadn't been fooled in the previous life. That was a planned car accident. She survived luckily because her parents held her tightly and protected her from getting injured.

She hated to recall that bloody picture and the terrible misfortune, and she would never want to go through it again.

"Hannah, didn't Susan go pick you up from the hospital? Where's she?" Hannah's mother, Michelle Cooper, said softly.

Hannah held back the tears, put on a smile and went up to them.

Everything had changed from now on. She swore she would screw Charles and destroy the whole Sawyer Group one day, so that no one could ride on the backs of the Cooper family and shit on them again! "Why your eyes are so red?" Michelle saw her coming over and asked with concern.

"I dropped Susan home first. My eyes are dry, and I rubbed them a little hard."

"The Sawyers just called me, and wanted to talk about the wedding details..." said Michelle.

Hannah took a deep breath and said, "Mom, I'll break off the engagement. I'm not marrying Charles."

"What?" Michelle was stunned.

Hannah's father, Miguel Cooper, who was sitting besides Michelle, took his eyes off the newspaper and said, "Did you have a fight with Charles?"

"Charles isn't a good man. He marries me only because he wants our family properties, and takes us as the stepping-stone to be a noble." Hannah sensed her parents' doubts and added, "I can't prove my words now. But please give me some time. You'll believe it then."

Miguel and Michelle were lost for words when they saw how determined Hannah was.

Hannah wasn't a troubled kid since little, and they seldom worried much about her.

Hannah's grandfather had arranged the marriage for her since she was little, and she accepted it. She'd never contacted with any other man except Charles, for she believed firmly that he was the fated one for her.

Moreover, they had been a loving sweetheart couples. But why she suddenly said something like that?

Hannah saw the confusion on their faces and said, "Dad, I've never done anything to embarrass you and mom. I also know that our family will benefit a lot from the marriage. But even so, I still stick with my own decision."

"You're my daughter. Of course I believe you." Miguel couldn't do anything else but humor her, "But, if we break off the engagement now, neither of the families will gain anything. Instead, it'll bring us huge negative impacts. How is Cooper Group gonna keep a foothold in Kensbury in the future!" he didn't get it.

"No. It won't." Hannah said assertively, "I'll break off the engagement, but the Sawyer family will bear all the consequences.”

Miguel was shocked by Hannah's strong aura field. Somehow, he thought she was different from usual as she was normally so soft and tender.

"The Sawyer family will definitely be embarrassed on next month's wedding." Hannah said in a resolute and decisive tone.
