Chapter 1291
âCornelia, are you really risking your own happiness just to prove something to a guy?â asked Cornella. âDo you really think itâs worth it?â
Hannah hung her head and whispered, âI know itâs not worth it. But itâs not entirely about proving something. I feel like Jared, and I have a lot in common.â
âHow so?â asked Cornelia.
Hannah explained, âJared and I have been in three plays together. He never confessed his feelings to me when I was married. Now that Iâm single, he confessed, isnât that because we have something in common?â
They had met by chance in Paris!
Hannah had just divorced, and he confessed his love for her.
There were too many coincidences, so much so that it felt like someone was pulling the strings.
âCornelia, have you ever thought that this is not fate, but he has known about you and Steven?â Cornelia asked with some concern.
âOnly a few close friends know about my marriage to Steven, and itâs absolutely impossible for anyone in our social circle to know,â Hannah replied.
âHannah, nothing is absolute. But whether Jared deliberately created the chance to meet you, itâs actually easy to check,â Cornelia warned.
âHow to check?â Hannah asked.
âWhere are you planning to go next?â Cornelia asked.
âI plan to go to Switzerland and stay there for a month,â Hannah replied.
âWhy donât you send him a message asking him where he plans to go next?â Cornelia suggested.
âCan this check?â Hannah was puzzled.
âIf Iâm not mistaken, he will tell you heâs going to Switzerland, and heâll even know the exact city youâre going to,â Cornelia replied.
âIâll message him right away, donât hang up,â Hannah said.
âAll right,â Cornelia responded.
Before long, Hannah sent Cornelia a screenshot.
Hannah asked Jared where he was planning to go next, and his answer was exactly what Cornelia predicted, âIâm planning to stay in Zurich, Switzerland for a month.â
âNelly, only my assistant knew I was going to Zurich. We havenât even bought the tickets yet. I think itâs still a coincidence,â Hannah said. âYou can tell your assistant that youâre not really interested in going to Zurich and want to go to another city. Tell her now. The sooner the better,â Cornelia suggested.
Although Hannah didnât understand Corneliaâs intention, she did as Cornelia said out of trust, âMy assistant is outside. Iâll go to the living room.â
âDonât hang up,â Cornelia instructed.
âI know,â Hannah replied.
Hannah left the room and went to the living room.
Her assistant was engrossed in her phone, chatting and looking very happy.
Hannah walked around the living room, grabbed a bottle of water, and then casually asked, âPaola, where else would you like to go besides Zurich?â
Paola was Hannahâs new assistant, and she hadnât been with her for very long. She was chosen by her agent. Her previous assistant was arranged by Steven. Although she was an assistant, she was actually Stevenâs spy.
