After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 393 Beg for Mercy

Hannah walked into Lorie's house with Jimmy. She had to say that she was fearless as he was around. She was wondering if Oscar assigned Jimmy to the job, for he had expected she would be single-handed and need an assistant.

Hannah heard Esther absolutely crying and shattering as she was walking into the hall of the manor. She had never seen her so sad even when Miguel was sent to prison. One can imagine her son was more important to her. As soon as she appeared, Esther became quiet at once. She got teary-eyed looking at Hannah and seemed pathetic.

Hannah didn't take a look at her but turned to her parents directly. Miguel waved to her, “Hannah, come and sit down."

She nodded and sat down next to her father. Jimmy stood behind her.

"So, what's the matter that you came to see us today? Stop crying, that won't solve any problems." Miguel showed the poise of the head of the family.

Esther was sobbing, supporting Lorie with her hands to sit on the sofa too. She said, "I just went to visit Wayne. The mistakes that the stupid boy made had a bad influence on the company. But I really didn't expect him to be so confused. When his father went to jail, I told him to be obedient and especially listened to you. I told him a thousand times! How could I know that he would be seduced by Sandra, such a bitch!

While talking, she seemed disappointed, angry and uncomfortable. Tears rolled down her face uncontrollably and continually. This acting skill couldn't be practised in one day or two.

"If it were not Sandra, that bitch, Wayne wouldn't have been confused and tricked into stealing the business plan. How could he be so smart to do such things?" she cried and kept saying, "He knew he had done something wrong when I saw him. He promised he would definitely correct his mistakes. He would be obedient to you in the future, he will regard you as his father since Roger was in jail now. I hope, Miguel, you can forgive him this time. If he did the same things next time, I must kill him, let alone you."

To show her determination, she knelt on the ground from the sofa directly. Hannah was speechless. Although Esther was a malicious woman, she was still a mother, who would do anything for her son. Esther's words and moves would win the mercy of her parents, Hannah supposed.

Yet Hannah would not be softhearted and she was insensitive to this now, for she had experienced all disgusting things in her last life.

She had to say this was the best decision Wayne had ever made. If he had been so smart, he wouldn't have lost so tragically. Hannah didn't say anything. At this point, she decided to respect her parents' choice. After all, even if Wayne was imprisoned for a year or more, it didn't matter to her, although she couldn't get what she wanted.

"Miguel and Michelle, I knew I've been really mean to you guys, and I also talked behind your backs. I was not a good person. In fact, I was really jealous of you guys loving each other, not like me and Roger. As you all knew, he kept a mistress in a love nest who gave him an illegitimate daughter, Mary. I've been enduring it all these years, and I was so jealous that I did wrong. Michelle, I realized my mistakes and apologized. Forgive me, please!" she swallowed her pride and knelt toward Michelle, holding her hands to beg her to forgive.

Michelle got softhearted but turned to her daughter since she got dependent on her habitually.

Hannah said, "Mum, it was up to you."

She didn't want her parents to feel so sorry about that. Moreover, if her parents were really cold-hearted, there were not any differences between them and, Esther and Roger.

With her daughter's permission, Michelle said, "I want to leave that right where it is. I didn't think much of it. Get up off your knees."

"No, I won't." Esther said promptly, "What I've done in my life made me have no right at all."

"All right. It was water under the bridge. Get up." Michelle tried to pull her up.

However, Esther didn't get up either. She said, "Let me keep kneeling down for a while and I'll feel better."

Michelle didn't try to persuade her anymore.

Esther said to Miguel again, "Miguel, please forgive Wayne and let him off the hook. He was unforgivable, but he already realized he was wrong and would change himself from now on." Actually, Miguel was getting softhearted. But Wayne behaved so odiously, he didn't forgive him immediately.

Esther appealed to pathos at once, "My daughter had passed away and my husband had gone into jail. If my son also went to jail, I had nothing at all. It was my own business. It had nothing to do with you and I had to face it on my own, but..." she said and cried more violently. She also pulled Lorie, who didn't make a sound from beginning to end.

Hannah was surprised that Esther was the only actor today, and Lorie didn't say a word.

Esther thought of Lorie. She understood clearly that Lorie's words were much more effective than hers.

Lorie glanced at her, and then looked at Hannah and her parents. Miguel didn't have the heart to refuse his mother. In other words, he was waiting for her to decide. Once she said a word, he must agree to help Wayne. He couldn't ensure they would acquit Wayne of guilt but he was capable of reducing the sentence to about a year. He could ask the judge for putting on probation, so Wayne didn't need to go to jai and there would only be a criminal record left.

Now Miguel also looked at Lorie. Before today, they hadn't met or contacted each other because of the conflicts. They both seemed embarrassed to face to face suddenly.
