Chapter 593 Business Banquet I

Hannah watched the news in silence, thinking about the reason why Charles chose to die. She was calm as always since she did not love him anymore, not a little bit. Her eyes flickered, however. It wasn't until she saw the man in front of her wiping away her tears that she realized she was crying.

Hannah smiled thinly and said, "It's tears of joy."

It was not because Charles died or he chose to kill himself as he had sworn to her, instead, she just felt relieved, completely. She got a happy end to their grudge of her last life-she had her family, property, and even a man she loved-all these made her perfectly satisfied.

A shadow of a smile touched Oscar's mouth. Sometimes Hannah couldn't read his face.

"I know. But from now on, do not cry for any other men for any reason."

Hannah bit her lip. She knew how possessive he was.

"Listen, I don't want to make you cry, and no man has the right to do that."

His gentle kisses on her cheek wiped away her tears. Hannah wrapped around his neck beginning to take the initiative. Charles's death coloured her little, while Oscar's love made her life colourful.

His death caused a sensation in Northfield, where people were talking about it for quite a long time. Some said that was what he deserved, and some felt pity, not for Charles himself, but for the overnight collapse of the Sawyer family, one of the most famous and elite families in the country. Sawyer Group acquired by different groups was divided into many sectors, fragmented, so to speak. Hannah also bought some promising ones.

The next day after Charles died, Hannah could take the businesses from Sawyer Group in stride, not to mention it had been half a month. She had almost forgotten the Sawyers and all the horrors in her life there.

When she got back to her office from a deployment meeting, Rose reported to her, "Ms Hannah, there will be a business party in Kensbury this evening, the Office of the Secretary for Chairman said you will attend instead of him."

"The old man's getting lazy." Hannah had no choice. Given there wasn't much time left for Oscar to recuperate at home, she only wanted to go back and spend more time with him. Hannah could imagine how busy he would be once he got back to work in the City Hall, as the Balderston family will surely give him a lot of things to do.

"Well, shall we refuse?" Rose asked, observing Hannah's expression.

"No, it's fine," said Hannah tonelessly. She couldn't say no. Her dad would make her go with her mom as an excuse-"I need to go home with your mother." After losing them in her previous life, she supported her parents to live more for themselves, as they did now.

"Yes, Ms Hannah."

"Tell Tan to go with me tonight."

"Okay," Rose nodded and asked, feeling abandoned, "What about me?"

Hannah smiled warmly, "You can join us."

After this period of departure, Hannah felt that more talents should be developed so that she could leave without any concerns when she had something else to do. "Okay." Rose left contentedly.

Hannah smiled after her. She thought for a moment and called Oscar, "I can't get off work on time tonight."

"What?" he got upset immediately.

"I have to attend a business banquet."

"How long?"

"Till eleven at the latest."

"Ten."

"Oscar." Now it's her turn to get upset.

Bossy!

"10 o'clock curfew. Can't be later." Oscar insisted.

Hannah thought for a while and replied, "Fine, I'll try."

"Your dear husband will be waiting for you," he had his way and thus was in a much better mood, "with an inviting body."

Gee!

As soon as he got a little better, there was no rest, for both of them.

At five in the evening, Hannah took Tan and Rose shopping for dresses.

"You've had a hard time," Hannah said to Tan.

Before Oscar's case was over, it was Tan who helped her run the company.

Tan smiled faintly, "It's my job."

"I won't turn my back on those who contribute to the company." Hannah smiled at him warmly. "Keep it up."

"...Yes, I will." Tan's smile seemed to falter for a second.

They all dressed up and arrived at seven.

No sooner had Hannah walked in than she heard a familiar loud voice, which was clearly out of place on such an occasion, "Hannah!"

Hannah simply couldn't do anything with Susan, who as a Phillips, neither played by the set pattern nor behaved like a daughter of an eminent family.

She turned and watched Susan come towards her as excited as if she'd seen a saviour. "I knew you'd come."

"Why did you come?" Hannah was surprised. Even if Susan loved to join in the fun, she would not be willing to attend such a dull business banquet like this. "I came along with Manuel." She said with a big eye-rolling.

Hannah could not help laughing. It appeared Manuel had been putting her through a lot. Hannah felt good for some reason.

"I'm his assistant now and have to go wherever he goes," she said, getting angry, "and I have to wait on him. I've never taken such crap in my entire life." "Really?" Hannah was gloating over her "sufferings".

"Hannah, are you my bestie or not? How can you laugh at me? I've been having such a bad time and I didn't bother you, just because I didn't want to get in the way of you two being together. You know, you look so radiant. Happy with Oscar, isn't ya?"

Hannah was left wordless by her flippancy.

"Look at your blush. I'm right!" Susan had got this "I knew it" look on her face, yet was confused at the same time, "But you did have a sharp eye for men. You chose Oscar when no one was optimistic about him and he became a great man eventually. Whereas, Charles who had been highly acclaimed once turned out to be a bastard and got what he deserved! You lucky dog! Give me some luck!" Susan gave Hannah a bear hug.
