After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 42 Let Them Be Out of Our League

Hannah responded to Charles's insincere talk.

She went back to the villa.

In the living room, Michelle had gotten nervous, "Hannah, where did you go last night? Your father and I nearly called the police."

"I got drunk with Susan last night and stayed at her house." Hannah said.

In her previous life, she used to be so naive and would never lie nor harm anyone, and defenseless.

In this life, she had to learn to be adaptable.

She felt okay to tell some white lies.

"Gee. Why did you guys get so drunk? You don't look good today." Michelle was relieved to see her come back safely, despite being worried about her too. "Where's Dad?" Hannah changed the subject.

"He's gone to work." Michelle said, "There are so many things to do at the company. He can't be away all the time."

Hannah nodded.

However, she started to plan something at that moment.

"Are you looking for him?" Michelle asked, looking at Hannah, who was pondering.

"Nope." Hannah shook her head, "Speaking of which, mum, have you seen the news today?"

"What news?"

"Haven't you watched it? Let me show you." Hannah hurriedly opened her phone and showed her the news, "See?"

Michelle took a look.

The big headline read "Low-profile Noblewoman Michelle Cooper: Reacquaint Yourself With The Real High Society."

On the news feed was a picture of Michelle, whose face and figure looked stunning and perfect.

Michelle felt a little shy.

After all, she had never shown her face in public like this before for so many years. Last night, she felt like she was dreaming, being complimented, noticed, and envied. This was the first time she had felt proud.

Her heart was even still pounding for a long time until now.

"I won't say much about the news content, just some high-sounding descriptions. Let me read you the comments below." Hannah was actually in a good mood.

In the limo on her way back, she read the news after hanging up Charles's phone and saw her mother's headline news.

She was the one who had deliberately arranged the news, but she had never expect that the news had so many reactions. She cleared her throat and read the comments.

'That's what you call a surprise. Those trophy wives who used to flaunt their wealth, beauty, and love, don't they feel ashamed?'

'The first noblewoman in Kensbury City is none other than Michelle.'

'Who said that Mrs Cooper was born into a humble family and was not treated well? Let me ask those girls born into a wealthy family, will you be able to have such a grand birthday party under your name years later?'

'Don't fool me. This woman is clearly only 30 years old...'

"Hannah." Michelle suddenly interrupted her.

Hannah was still reading happily at the moment.

She raised her head and saw that Michelle's eyes were red.

Hannah hurriedly said with concern, "Mom, what's the matter?"

"I feel that you have grown up." Michelle smiled with teary eyes, "You gave me a big surprise."

Hannah was stunned.

"It was you that prepared the birthday banquet last night, right?" Michelle said straightforwardly.

"It was Dad's thought too."

"I always thought I didn't care about all the fame, status or wealth. I thought I just needed to have a good time with you and your father, the three of us being together. But last night, I admit I was so happy to be the centre of attraction for everyone. And I just realized that all the women have vanity..."

"It was Dad and me who neglected your feelings." Hannah wiped the tears from her mother's eyes.

"Hannah," Michelle looked at her daughter, "Thank you so much."

"Mom." Hannah held her hands tightly and said firmly, "From now on, I will make our family better! Let those who once looked down on us be out of our league!"

Michelle was stunned by Hannah's determination.

And she smiled the next moment gently.

Michelle would never lower herself like she used to do again, as well as let her daughter pressure herself so much!

In the Sawyers' house...

Charles turned gloomy instantly after he finished talking to Hannah on the phone.

Of course he couldn't possibly go to work at the company.

It was true that he had indulged too much last night, resulting in no spirit at all today.

Just now, he was forcing himself to call Hannah, just to play with her mind.

That fool woman. She believed everything with just some sweet words.

He returned to the living room and sat on the sofa.

"Ah!" Loretta suddenly let out a scream.

Charles looked at his mother, "What's wrong?"

"What do they mean by 'the first noblewoman in Kensbury City is none other than Michelle'? Then what am I? What am I?" Loretta read the comments on her mobile phone, and she was furious. Charles looked terrible, too, at the moment.

He was irritated when thinking of the Cooper family making the news last night.

After all, he and Hannah were getting married soon.

The Cooper family had thrown such a grand party before their wedding. Were they attempting to make him plan a big lavish wedding?

He didn't want to waste too much on Hannah!

"Mom, I want to kill Hannah, that bitch!" Martina was also on the sofa at the moment, and her eyes were all puffy.

It was said that she had been crying since she left the Cooper family banquet yesterday.

She had cried for the whole night and only settled down slightly this morning.

But when she thought of the mess she was in last night, she couldn't help but gnash her teeth, hating to cut Hannah dead.

She didn't even know how to mix in high society in the future.

She didn't even dare to leave the house now or even show up in those chatting groups, for fear of being brought up for yesterday's embarrassment.

"What's the hurry!" Loretta was also in a bad mood.

She had never imagined that Michelle would crush her to this extent one day.

In her mind, the only person who could compete with her among the gentry in Kensbury City, or even the entire Northfield, was Venus Wells. Venus had an advantage because the Wells family was ranked first. When Charles embarked on the noble family's path, it was not a matter for her to crush Venus soon.

Yet now.

Michelle, an ordinary person, had stolen the show.

She just couldn't let it go.

She recalled herself giving Michelle the bracelet last night and contrasted it with Venus's gift. She had heard someone in the banquet saying that she was hypocritical, having no taste, and insincere...

At the thought of it, Loretta looked terrible. She said viciously, "When Charles married Hannah, I'll have thousands of ways to torture her to death!"

"Me too!" Martina said, "Charles, don't be soft-hearted when the time comes!"

"Being soft-hearted?" Charles sneered as if he had just heard the funniest joke ever.

For that woman that he didn't love at all, he wanted her to die as quickly as possible after he was done using her!
