Chapter 13 Negotiating on the Wedding


    On their way back home, Hannah continued saying to Michelle with a serious look, “Mom, besides stop


    obeying granny blindly, you don’t have to tolerate Uncle Roger and his family all the time.”


    Michelle smiled in the grievance. “Your dad doesn’t want to cause a family conflict either. ording to


    the rules, the right of inheritance of the Cooper family should be given to the eldest son, yet your


    grandpa has given everything to your father, and, understandably, your uncle and his family are


    unhappy.”


    “But that shouldn’t be the excuse Uncle Roger and his family treating us badly. Mom, we have a wrong


    mindset in the past, that it’s reasonable that the family business falls on the eldest son, and it would be


    disrespectful to the eldest son if the second son inherits the family property. But having a second


    thought, why was the eldest son unable to inherit the property but the second son was?”


    Michelle was startled. She had not thought about that indeed.


    “That’s because the eldest son is useless and is incapable to hold responsibility for the family, that’s


    why grandpa chose my dad. Not only that we shouldn’t feel guilty, but we should also be proud that


    we’re the ones who supported the family business. The Coopers, including Uncle Roger, should show


    gratitude towards us instead of teasing and treating us badly.”


    Michelle was actually persuaded by her daughter at that moment.


    They had used to abase themselves to avoid family conflicts. Having thought about that now, the


    reason they could inherit the family property was because of their capability, and how could they suffer


    from so many criticisms?


    Seeing her mother seemed to understand, Hannah said, “So mom, be confident when you face them.


    Or else they’ll think they’re the right ones!”


    “Okay.” Michelle agreed. “Indeed, giving in not only won’t appease them, but it’ll also even encourage


    them to bully us further.”


    “My mom’s smart as expected!” Hannah praised her.


    Michelle smiled lovingly. “Haven’t you already showed that clearly to me from your behavior today?”


    Indeed.


    But she did not solely do that to demonstrate for her mother.


    She was also triggering Jane on purpose from what she did today.


    To be more urate, she was aiming at Mary.


    She was now in the limelight and Jane must be jealous of her. After all, Jane thought she was the heir


    of the family and she would alwayspare with Hannah. She could not bear seeing Hannah having


    more things than her and was living a better life than her.


    Jane would do irrational things whenever she was jealous. Yet Jane was not smart and she did not


    think as much as Mary. Therefore, Mary would definitely offer suggestions to her in order to please her.


    Of course, Mary’s n was not made for Jane’s benefit.


    Everything she did was to bring Jane’s down.


    Hannah let out a grim smile.


    Thankfully she was reborn, so she could know everyone’s nature and utilize their evil and cunning mind


    to achieve her purpose.


    After all, it was not easy to find Charles’s weakness before they get married. Charles was also a


    cautious person and it was unlikely he was bold enough to hang out with other women before they get


    married. However, if someone took the initiative to sleep him…A guy who could not change his nature


    like Charles would consent.


    And she would just sit back and enjoy the fruits of the oue.


    To Hannah and Michelle’s surprise, Miguel also came back when they returned home.


    He was still a little surprised when he saw them going out together. “Where have you gone this early


    morning?”


    “Granny’s house,” Hannah replied.


    Miguel’s facial expression clearly changed and he said slightly sternly, “Why didn’t you inform me? I


    should have kept youpany.”


    They had truly avoided those people from the Cooper Residence like avoiding tigers in her previous


    life.


    She felt indignant for her family had thought about that now.

    After all, they had tried their best to please them with utmost humility, yet what they got in return was


    them coborating with the Sawyers to doom them to death!


    Hannah did not utter a word.


    Michelle smiled and said, “Go focus on your work in the future, you no longer have to worry about


    anything in the family.”


    Miguel was clearly baffled.


    Michelle was always like a cat on hot bricks whenever she went back from the old mansion in the past,


    she would even go dejected for several days every time she returned. Yet she was clearly having a


    good mood this time.


    “Oh yes, why did you suddenlye back? Has anything gone wrong?” Michelle digressed.


    Miguel’s mind was initially full of questions, having remembered something, he did not ask further and


    answered instead, “Lee asked us to go have lunch at the Sawyer’s house this noon to talk about


    Hannah and Charles’s marriage next month.”


    As he said, he nced at Hannah.


    Hannah smiled and said withposure, “We should go.”


    “Haven’t you decided to cancel the marriage?” Miguel could not help but ask.


    “That’s what is going to happen afterwards. We’ll now do anything the Sawyers asks and cooperate


    with them fully…”


    They should act ording to their wish so they would be more embarrassed when their ns backfire


    afterwards and they would have a bigger reason to break the engagement.


    “Alright.” Miguel did not say anything further.


    Since he had consented to let his daughter settling the marriage herself, they would naturally listen to


    all her orders.


    Without further adieu, the whole family changed their clothes and headed straight to the Sawyer Manor.


    The Sawyers were all weing them at the vi’s entrance with enthusiasm.


    Hannah used to think the Sawyers valued them and that was why they would wee them so


    enthusiastically.


    Now she knew they were only acting.


    Hannah spotted the paparazzo that was hiding in the darkness the moment she got out of the car.


    It was a high-ss vi district and unless the paparazzo was permitted entry on purpose, even a


    housefly could not gain entry into it.


    Without showing any sign, she epted their enthusiastic weing just like her parents.


    All of them entered the Sawyer’s vi.


    They were just in time for lunch and everyone sat around a huge round table. The table was full of all


    kinds of delicacies and the Sawyers seemed to have disyed their greatest hospitality.


    “We initially agreed to meet during weekends, since Miguel needs to go to work, Charles too, and the


    wedding day is around the corner, we have to admit we’re a little excited for it too, that’s why we


    choose to meet you today. I hope it doesn’t affect you!” Lee Sawyer spoke and he looked totally like an


    honest guy.


    Hannah let out a grim smile.


    She was afraid that the Sawyers had other thoughts in mind when their reputation was damaged and


    their stock market dropped yesterday.


    “We’re all family. You don’t have to be so courteous!” Miguel had been in the business world for


    decades and he was a natural atmunicating with people. “With my age, I’ve handed all the work to


    my subordinates. Why should I care so much about it now?”


    “I’ll help Uncle Miguel with the work in the future.” Charles quickly spoke and he behaved courteously.


    “That’s what I’m waiting for. I’ll expect you to take good care of the Cooper’s business after you marry


    Hannah,” Miguel said with a carefree look.


    Hannah smiled.


    Her father was actually good at acting too.


    “Don’t worry, uncle, I’ll definitely give my best.” Charles was brimmed with joy when he heard him say


    that.
