Chapter 159 Better the Devil You Know


    Chapter 159 Better the Devil You Know


    Hannah returned to her office after finishing the arrangement of the work, and threw herself into work


    without wasting a minute.


    In the next-door office, Mary was upset.


    She heard that Hannah had organized a special team for the Light Building shopping mall project, but


    she wasn''t part of it. She even had no idea what exactly Hannah was doing, what kind of work she had


    arranged, how far they''d gone and she didn''t know if Hannah would stun everyone with amazing job


    performance.


    She nearly thought that Hannah could be sessful in everything now.


    No!


    By no means would she allow Hannah to nail a victory and steal the show!


    Mary called her father.


    "Dad."


    "What''s wrong?" Roger said impatiently. Apparently, he wasn''t in a good mood.


    "Hannah has set up a team for the Light Building shopping mall project, but she excluded me from the


    project members, so I don''t know what she''s doing now. I saw the project members were all high in


    spirit and enthusiastic in work after they came back from the meeting. God knows what Hannah has


    said to stimte them." Mary said in a upsetting tone.


    "Hannah, that damn girl, has changed a lot indeed." Roger said ferociously.


    "You''re right, Dad. She even embarrassed you at the meeting this morning. I can''t help getting mad


    whenever I recall it." said Mary, who was an expert in stirring up troubles.


    Obviously, she knew Roger would bear a grudge against Hannah since he had been humiliated by her


    at the meeting this morning. She said it out on purpose now only to piss Roger off even more. Once


    Roger got mad, he would direct at Hannah and get her into trouble for sure!


    She simply didn''t feel like seeing Hannah make it again!


    It was already out of her expectation that Hannah was doing so well in her job, and she couldn''t sit


    back and watch Hannah achieve greater sess.


    "I swear to God that I won''t go easy on her! I''ll give her a really hard time!" Roger said furiously.


    He''d been in a temper since this morning''s meeting was over. And, the more he thought of it, the


    angrier he got.


    He hated Hannah''s guts now after hearing Mary''s words.


    "What are we gonna do now, Dad?" Mary asked with anxiety.


    "You''re working in the sales department. Try to bribe one or two trusted informers who can help you.


    The inside men that I''ve put in sales department before have all been reced! Damn it! I don''t know


    how Hannah could have found it out!" Roger was still getting riled up when speaking of it, "Now you''ve


    gotta buy poprity again and must know the process of the project very well though you aren''t part of


    it!"


    "OK." Mary agreed without hesitation.


    "Be careful. Don''t get caught by Hannah."


    "Don''t worry, Dad. I know what to do."


    "I''ll also get to know thetest process of the project by watching what Hannah is doing in thepany


    during this period of time, and I''ll make it hard for her with the power in hand! I swear I won''t let her


    reopen the shopping mall sessfully." Roger said coldly.


    "I see. If we don''t do something to stop her now, it will be very difficult for us to take over Cooper Group


    from Uncle Miguel and hand it over to Wayne."


    Mary was smart enough to know what to say at the proper time.


    She emphasized they would hand Cooper Group over to Wayne in case Roger misunderstood that she


    wanted thepany herself.


    "Sooner orter, Hannah will get the hell out of here like a drowned rat!"


    "Mm. Sure." Mary echoed him immediately. Then she hung up the phone.


    Mary looked bloody cold and gloomy. Hannah had changed a lot all at once and she also wanted to


    see how good Hannah could be!


    ...


    Hannah buried herself at work till ten at night.


    Finally, she came back to earth after she finished writing the preparation work on building the e-


    Then she realized it was reallyte at night and she was exhausted.


    She moved her body a little, looked at Jimmy, who had been sitting and waiting in the office without


    "Not at all, Mrs Wells." Jimmy was always well-behaved.


    And, Hannah had been used to it.


    She stretched herself and picked up the phone, "Rose, please tell Wang toe to my office now."


    "OK."


    Wang knocked at the door and came in.


    Hannah plugged out the USB sh disk from theputer and handed it to him.


    Wang took it over and looked at Hannah surprisingly, "Ms Hannah?"


    "This is the nning scheme on the emerce tform of Light Building. Besides me, you''re the


    only one who knows it."


    Wang grabbed the USB sh disk in hand and nodded.


    "I give it to you personally, which means you''re the one to be med if it leaks out. I believe you


    understand what I meant."


    "Got it, Ms Hannah. Don''t worry." He looked very loyal and sincere.


    "Be careful not to let it out." Hannah reminded him, "Keep an eye on it!"


    "I''ll be more cautious."


    Hannah nodded.


    As the saying goes that a man being used can''t be suspected while a suspected man can''t be used.


    She didn''t want to put it off and said straightforwardly, "From tomorrow on, you''ll be on the job of the e-


    "OK."


    "It''ste. Time to go home."


    "OK." Wang said humbly.

    Hannah had stood up, picked up her purse and left the office with Jimmy.


    She sat in the car, watching the only few cars through the window, and realized it was reallyte at


    night now.


    Suddenly, she heaved a sigh and said to Jimmy, "It must be hard for you to be my driver."


    She said that because she might work overtime tillte at night for a long period of time.


    "Not really." Jimmy drove carefully and answered, "In fact, Mr Wells is always busy like this."


    Hannah frowned.


    Wasn''t Oscar jobless now?


    Wasn''t he up to nothing recently?


    He even didn''t go to work in Wells Group.


    "What is Oscar busy with?" asked Hannah.


    Not until then had Jimmy realized that he''d said something wrong.


    Then he said instantly, "Sorry, Mrs Wells. I can''t answer your question."


    Hannah was speechless.


    She wondered what on earth Oscar had done to make it so mysterious.


    Very soon, the car arrived home. She saw Max doing the cleaning as soon as she went in the living


    room.


    Max was still doing housework at this hour.


    In her memories, Max was busy doing things non-stop, as if he never stopped to take a break.


    However, she thought Max enjoyed it very much.


    Seeing her back, Max said warmly, "Mrs Wells, I''ll bring you the dessert."


    "Thanks, Max." Hannah smiled lightly.


    She said thank you, and she meant it.


    All of a sudden, she remembered that she''d married Charles in her previous life and waited for him to


    Back then, Charles came homete a lot. She used to believe he was busy with social engagements,


    so she used to be thoughtful. She would wait for him toe home and bring him the soup that she


    had cooked for him. At that time, she thought it was a cruel thing to make someone wait because she


    never knew how long she was gonna wait. Sometimes, she might wait for a whole night.


    Later, she wished she could kill herself when she found out that Charles was cheating on her and


    having sex with another woman while she was waiting for him painfully at home. She even despised


    herself for having been so stupid.


    Surely, Max wasn''t in the same situation as she had been back then. But all in all, it was painful to wait.


    Thus, she was touched by Max''s sacrifice and devotion no matter it was because of Oscar or not.
