After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Chapter 70 I Don’t Have an Ex

"What's wrong?" Venus was the first one to rush into Karen's room after hearing the shout.

As soon as she came in, she saw Karen's face turn pale with shock and her little hand being scalded red.

"Bring cold water over! Hurry up!" Venus ordered the maid.

The maid outside the room brought a basin of cold water soon and they put Karen's burned hand into the basin.

At this moment, the rest of the family also rushed into Karen's room.

They were all asking, "Are you okay, Karen? Are the scalds serious?"

"Karen, are you okay?"

"I call doctor to come right now."

All of a sudden, Hannah was pushed away until she stood behind the crowd instead.

She didn't show any emotions on her face as she probably knew what was going on.

"Do you feel better?" Venus asked.

"Yes, much better." Karen nodded her head.

"How could you be so careless? The boiling water is so hot, you must feel so painful." Venus chided her little daughter while looking at the blisters on her hand. "Hannah didn't mean it either." Karen hurriedly said, "Mum, don't blame Hannah."

The moment she said the words, everyone turned to look at Hannah.

Apparently, hollow men tended to use the same tactics to deceive others.

The one in front of her was more wicked and better at disguising.

Same as a wicked woman, Mary wouldn't hurt her own body, while Karen perfectly illustrated how a person could do whatever it took to get what she wanted. What a ruthless girl!

"It was my fault." Hannah admitted it openly. She explained in a self-blaming tone, "At first, I want to pour some water for Karen to take her medicine. The boiling water was too hot. Therefore, I put it at Karen's bedside and waited for it to cool. But the cup was knocked over by Karen when she reached out to pull me. I should have put the cup of boiling water further away from her."

"Yes, that's what happened. It was me who accidentally knocked the cup over. It's my fault." Janet said so to take all the blame for this.

"If I've not put it there, you would not have knocked over it. I'm also to blame."

Hannah would not yield to Karen's misleading comments.

"No, no. It's me who is careless. Hannah, don't take it too seriously. I will feel bad." Karen's eyes turned red as if she was afraid of causing Hannah to get scolded. "Karen, take it easy. The doctor said that you shouldn't be too upset emotionally." Venus said.

"It's right, Karen, keep calm. No one says that you two are wrong." Nancy added.

"But I've caused Hannah in trouble for two times today... I'm afraid that Hannah will think I'm a troublemaker, and just now I also accidentally told the previous relationship between Janet and Oscar to Hannah... I... I..." Tears almost welled up in her eyes.

It gave people the impression that Hannah already disliked Karen a lot so that they might even misunderstand that the cup of hot water was deliberately placed by Hannah at Karen's bedside and Hannah wanted to make her get scalded.

How hypocritical she was!

Hannah was calm seeing Karen blaming herself. She smiled kindly, "I knew that Oscar and Janet had a relationship before. I also told you I don't care about it as it was all in the past. As for the two accidents that happened just now, your cat almost hurt me, and I accidentally hurt your hand. So now, we're even, right? Didn't you say you were sorry that Pamela attacked me? Now, you don't have to worry about it, isn't it?"

Karen was stunned.

Perhaps she didn't expect that Hannah's words would mediate the dispute so there was no way for her to make the thing more complicated. If she continued to make trouble, others might think that she was trying to make a big fuss over a minor issue.

She had always been smart enough to know how to use her weakness and the kindness she showed to get everyone's sympathy to make everyone obey her.

However, at this moment, she was being led by the nose.

"Okay, we're even now. I will forget these accidents. Thanks, Hannah." Karen said with a faint smile.

Her smile looked so innocent like a pure angel.

Hannah now realized that the Wells Manor was not a place where she should come often, yet it wasn't that she was afraid of Karen. It was just that there was no need for her to make a mess here since she and Oscar were having a sham marriage.

"I'm just afraid that Karen will take those accidents to heart. Hannah, you have a silver tongue. Karen won't be upset now. That was a load off my mind." Venus couldn't help but praise Hannah. "Thanks, mum. I don't want Karen to feel guilty. Oscar told me that Karen's emotions will have a great impact on her health."

"Yes." Venus sighed. "I was afraid that Karen would never be able to let go of the things happened just now. She has been sensitive emotionally since she was small. It's good that she's finally decided to forget these."

Karen listened to the conversation between Hannah and Venus.

She didn't expect that Hannah still would be praised by her mother when she was injured.

She couldn't accept the truth somehow.

Of course, she did not lose her temper before everyone, nor did she express any dissatisfaction.

She would only secretly think of countless devious and cunning schemes to achieve her goals.

The others left Karen's room one after another after seeing that Karen's injury was nothing serious.

Hannah also went back to Oscar's room.

After thinking for a moment, she sat on the sofa and sent a message to Oscar, "Why didn't you tell me that the "someone" in your family was your sister."

She received a reply from Oscar quickly, "You know that already?"

"I thought it is Janet."

"Do you care about her a lot?"

"No." Hannah answered firmly.

Why should she care about her?

"Oh, really?" It seemed like Oscar was taunting her.

"I'm sending you a message to confirm with you who is the "someone" in your family that you mentioned before."

"So, are you trying to make me tell you something?"

Oscar sent another message over again, "Janet is not my ex-girlfriend."

"I don't have an ex."

Hannah couldn't stop cursing to herself. 'Did this man misunderstand the meaning of an ex?'
