Chapter 30
After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire
Hannah got back into the living hall.
The lights in the living were turned on.
The dance ended and the party turned into a regular social party again.
Miguel and Michelle were making a toast to their guests. It was a lively event.
Hannah looked around. She found Susan and walked to her.
Susan was holding Henryâs arm intimately. They were chatting and laughing, looking like a loving couple.
âHannah, where were you?â Susan complained as she saw Hannah walking over.
Initially, Susan wanted to praise Hannah, for she was determined to give the low-profile style up.
Susan had told Hannah before that Michelle was pretty and her beauty shouldnât be covered by plainness. Hannah and Michelle both wonât listen to her before.
But look at them, Michelle amazed everyone.
There must be so many rich women envious of her.
âI went to the bathroom,â Hannah told a lie.
âI see.â Susan never doubted Hannah. But suddenly, something caught Susanâs attention and she added, âWhat happened to your ear?â
âWhat?â Hannah was anxious.
âThis one.â Susan pointed at Hannahâs left ear.
It was the one Oscar bit just now.
âDid you get molested? Your ear is so red. Are you blushing?â Susan asked.
Hannah felt embarrassed.
âCanât Susan keep her mouth shut or put it mildly?â
Henry felt funny and interrupted them, âThe word you used is so interesting, why didnât you use them in your essay when you were in school?â
Susanâs tutor had been surprised at how bad Susanâs essay was, considering her rich vocabulary.
To be exact, all of her homework used to be bad.
âDo you think Iâd meet you if my essays were good?â Susan quibbled.
Susan and Henry had been together since high school.
There used to be a tuition class at school, and the top senior two students were going to help the senior one students in their studies.
Henry was a top student in his junior year, and Susan was a year beneath him, who did badly in her exams back then.
Their stories had begun at the tuition class and become a legend in their school.
Hannah used to admire Susan, for she thought Susan was brave enough to love and hate someone. As long as she liked someone, she would definitely be with him, despite his family background.
Edward had not approved of their relationship at first, since he thought Susan was still too young to get in a relationship; and Henry didnât come from a wealthy family.
Henry was an orphan. He could afford to get into an elite school for free only because of his excellent academic result. He had no way to be comparable with Susan even if Susanâs grades were so bad.
But Susan threatened to commit suicide.
Edward loved Susan dearly since she was born. Maybe he felt guilty about what happened to Susanâs mother. Edward could hardly reject any request from Susan, so he had no choice but to agree on their relationship.
It was a good thing that Henry was hardworking and self-motivated. He got into the best university in Northfield, the University of Finance, after graduating from high school. Upon his graduation from university, he got a job in Phillips Bank and became Edwardâs, right-hand man.
Hannah stared at Henry without exposing any of her thoughts.
If she wasnât reborn, she wouldnât know Henry had been carrying a cruel objective when he approached Susan from the start.
âSusan.â Hannah stopped Susan and Henry from their chatting.
Susan turned around and looked at Hannah.
âCome with me?â Hannah said.
âSure.â Susan let go of Henryâs arm and said to him, âAre you alright alone?â
In fact, Susan wasnât a careless person as she might seem to be. She cared a lot about Henry. Susan knew Henry might feel a little inferior because of his background. Therefore, Susan would usually take care of him in social events like this.
âIâm alright.â Henry said, âI saw someone I knew. I might go and have a little chat with them.â
âSure.â Susan smiled at him.
Hannah held Susanâs hand and walked away.
Susan was curious, âWhatâs going on? Whatâs the rush?â
âYou didnât forget what I told you, right?â
âAt 10 pm I remember.â Susan sad, âI have never forgotten anything you told me.â
Hannah laughed, âGood girl. Iâm rewarding you.â
âDonât scare me, Hannah.â Susan was judging Hannah.
Susan felt like something was different about Hannah.
Hannah didnât wait for Susan to reject her offer. She quickly led Susan and walked past Charles on purpose.
âHannah.â Charles stopped Hannah.
Hannah secretly smiled.
She turned around and answered, âCharles, itâs my motherâs birthday. Iâm a bit overwhelmed. Sorry for not having the time to talk to you.â
Susan rolled her eyes beside Hannah.
âWhen did my best friend know how to put on an act? Hannah was going to cancel her wedding after a month, while she was pretending that she still loved Charles?â
Susan knew Oscar was handsome, but she thought Charles was good looking too.
âWhat went into Hannahâs mind?â Susan thought.
âItâs a great birthday party tonight. I never knew Michelle could look so stunning.â Charles praised.
He looked sincere.
Hannah sneered in her heart.
What a surprise that he could still fake that!
Hannah saw Loretta, who almost couldnât withhold her anger and jealousy. She then figured that Loretta came to embarrassed Michelle at the party.
However, Michelle outperformed Loretta.
It could not be denied that those rich wives who came to the birthday party tonight, who once looked down on Michelle, were humiliated and taught a lesson.
âYouâre not busy now, are you? Shall we go and see my parents? Martinaâs here too. She wanted to apologize to you, face to face.â Hannah wasnât showing much interest in him, so he quickly mentioned his family.
Hannah looked in a direction from afar.
People from the four wealthiest families gathered at that place.
Hannah smiled and agreed, âSure.â
She walked over after Charles, along with Susan.
Three of them obeyed the rules and didnât interrupt the conversations of their parents.
Suddenly, Miguel said, âMichelle, just before you came down, Loretta said she has a present for you.â
Michelle smiled at Loretta.
Loretta had to fake a smile.
The real âpresentâ she had prepared was to show off her elegance and civility. She wanted to humiliate Michelle and made people compare Michelle to her.

Loretta had no mood to give Michelle any present now, for that Michelle looked so dazzling and elegant as she never expected.
But Loretta couldnât take back what she said.
She took out a bracelet from her delicate purse, which came with a thick chain and looked plain. It wasnât an exquisite gift. âI saw it when I went shopping earlier. I thought it fits you well, so I bought it for you. You want to try it out?â
Then, Loretta kindly put on the bracelet for Michelle.
To be honest, the bracelets didnât look nice at all. Since Michelle was magnanimous, she said, âItâs beautiful. I liked it.â
âI knew you would.â Loretta quickly said while looking down upon Michelle in her heart. She thought Michelle had no fashion sense.
Loretta wondered who picked the gown Michelle was wearing for her. The gown was so mesmerizing but she couldnât tell which designer the gown was from.
She never saw this gown when she went to pick out her down yesterday. She was so sure that she had already viewed all gowns from all famous designers.
That gown stood out from all the other she saw.
Loretta felt an irresistible urge to know which designer it was from. She wouldnât allow Michelle to steal her thunder next time.
