Chapter 488 A Crafty Sister
They went downstairs to have breakfast together. Oscar was with her because he was going to the City Hall to report. When they got to the kitchen, they only to see shards of glass scattered everywhere on the ground. They both became frozen with shock.
"Sorry Max, I didn't mean to, I just... I was just trying to help. How did I know I was so clumsy?" Karen said this in tears. Max felt resigned, but he couldn't offend her for she was Oscar's sister. Karen was hurrying to help as she saw Max cleaning up.
"Don't touch it, Miss." Max said.
Then, Karen exclaimed. The scraps hurt her hand, and her fingers were bleeding right away. Karen just can't stay quiet at a moment.
Hannah somehow felt slack-jawed. She walked over to Karen and said, "Karen, come here, let me help you bandage your hand." Karen followed Hannah, red-eyed, and kept muttering, "Sorry, I can't do anything well." Hannah didn't respond. Karen can only stage herself, she continued to say, "The house is so big, but only Max to clean it up. I wanted to help him. I didn't know that I had caused so much trouble and let you worry about me." After saying these, she was weeping. However, she didn't forget to grumble in a flirtatious manner, "Sorry, Oscar."
Oscar took a glance at her without saying a word, walking to the dining table straightly. Karen felt kind of anxious about her brother's indifference. Oscar won't give a response to whatever she does.
"Ouch! Pain!" Karen suddenly screamed out. Hannah asked loudly, intending to let everyone there hear it."Where does it hurt? I didn't touch you!" Karen somehow got awkward. It was true that Hannah had not yet touched her. Max couldn't help to laugh when he did the cleaning. After spending the day with Karen, he realized how dramatic she was. Karen's face turned terrible with anger when she saw Max laughing at her.
"Have you known what Oscar talked to me about last night?" Hannah asked as she was applying medicine for Karen.
Karen frowned because of the pain from the wound. But she forgot to cry out after hearing what Hannah said. Hannah knew it would work to distract her from her drama plans.
"Your brother said he tolerates you because of your family." Hannah said unhurriedly.
"No! Oscar's been good to me since we were children." Karen yelled, uncontrollably enraged. Oscar did treat her very well in her childhood, but she had no idea when he started to get away from her. "You should know what I'm saying. You're so clever." Hannah said.
"I don't know," Karen said.
"So let me tell you. If you keep ungrateful, Oscar will treat you with ruthlessness without considering your family."
"You..."
"It's finished." Hannah said with a smile. A quarrel was concealed beneath the amiable tone of voice.
"Be careful, don't touch the water." Hannah left after packing up the first-aid box.
Looking at her bandaged fingers, Karen held her hatred. She didn't expect that Hannah would try to distract her attention. She wished Oscar were helping her to bandage. The more she thought about it, the more agitated she got. She felt like she was being controlled by Hannah.
After breakfast, Hannah was going out with Oscar. Hannah sent Oscar to City Hall first and then went to the Cooper building.
When Hannah just walked into the office, Rose followed right away and was about to give a report. "How is it going about the Sawyer's payment?" Hannah inquired directly.
"Not great. The man at the wheel in Sawyer Group did not attend to deal with it when our lawyer gets involved. The lawyer just got a denial of entrance yesterday." Rose said. "Fine, let the lawyer sue." Hannah ordered.
Rose nodded, she just intended to report on this.
"Any schedule on today?" Hannah asked.
"There is a regular meeting you need to attend in the afternoon."
"Okay, don't arrange too much work today." Hannah said, "We can communicate again next Monday."
"Okay." Rose said respectfully, "I get it. Mr Wells is back. You need to spend more time with him." Rose shut up when Hannah stared at her.
"Go do your things." Hannah said.
"OK." Rose said.
Soon, Hannah received a phone call from Bills Jones. She knew why he called her-Charles must have taken action, for he knew how to recover his losses in the best way. "Hi, Mr Jones. This is Hannah." She got on the phone.
"Hannah, there is no time to delay our project. How are things going?" Bills asked with concern.
"You can say it, Mr Jones."
Bills hesitated for a moment and spoke, "I'll cut to the chase then. I knew the Sawyer Group has put Cooper and even you in a quandary. I don't want to be the middleman. But this project is urgent. We will miss the best timing if we keep delaying. And what we have done would be of no effect. Would you do me a favour by talking it over with Charles? He is so forthright that he said the e-commerce platform will be transferred to you. Seriously."
Hannah chuckled after hearing this and said, "Fine. Now that you asked for it, I would say yes. I will contact Charles immediately and call you back after the settlement." Hannah said. It was clear that there was no other chance for Charles unless he wanted to destroy himself.
"That's so nice of you, I'll remember it. If you need my help in the future, feel free to ask."
"You're very welcome, Mr Jones. It was a grudge between me and Charles. I felt so sorry for getting you involved. Even if you didn't call me today, I'd be taking the initiative to figure it out with Charles. I'll never let you lose interest although I have resentment toward Charles."
"I'm so relieved to hear that from you," Bills said heavily, "then I'll wait for your good news."
"Okay." Hannah sneered after hanging up the phone.
Finally, she chose to step back provisionally for the company's interest. After all, a businessperson needs to keep the word of mouth. Or, people would say not-so-nice things about the Cooper Group if she turned Bills down this time. After all, it was Bills who had given a chance to Cooper to let them be the third party taking part in this project. The market is like a battlefield. Making a friend is better than making an enemy.
So Hannah picked up the phone and said, "Rose, get Sawyer Group informed. We will have negotiations with them here in half an hour. We won't give them another chance again if they miss this time."
