Chapter 184 A Punch Back
Hannah knew that she couldn't hope for anything from him.
If he created a favorable impression on her, next second he could wipe it out completely.
...
In the house of the Phillips, Susan hung up the phone and got up in a hurry.
It was not good to be late for the wedding photo shoot.
She quickly got changed and rushed out of the bedroom.
She had gotten a text from Henry who was waiting for her at the door.
She didn't want him to wait too long.
Rushing out of the room, Susan suddenly bumped into someone at the corner.
She felt dizzy after the collision, after which she even bounced against the wall.
"Are you OK?" The worried man in front of her asked as he was trying to reach out to see where she
was hurt.
"Don't touch me!" Susan suddenly shouted.
Manuel froze.
He dropped his hand in embarrassment.
"Shall I call a doctor for you?"
"No." Susan barely recovered herself.
Deep down, she was so annoyed.
She found that since Manuel came back, they had met a lot and bumped into each other several times.
Was he haunting her or she was out of luck these days?
She looked right into his eyes.
He was still wearing the white shirt he wore the night before.
There were some visible traces of foundation on his shirt.
Apparently, it was from a woman.
The remainder of foundation was right on his chest.
Susan pretended not to see that.
He was an adult anyway.
There were always times when a single man was in need of comfort, and it could be usual for him to
have a hooker once in a while.
She didn't seem to mind these things.
She respected different people living in different ways.
As long as it was not hurting anyone and it was mutually consented, there was nothing to criticize.
She walked past him.
Manuel did not say anything either. He surely could not take the initiative to approach her since she
had said so.
He just watched her pass by.
While walking towards the entrance of the house, the expression on Susan face was quite different
from that minutes ago.
She was eager to see Henry.
Manuel had seen Henry waiting for her at the door when he came back.
...
In his bedroom, the first thing Manuel did was to take off the clothes and threw them into the trash can.
Then he went to take took a bath and changed into home clothes.
Last night, he went to a nightclub with Theodore.
They both got drunk. He was not a good drinker but Theodore urged him to drink more until he got
drunk.
After all, he didn't need to take any precautions against him.
Theodore wouldn't hurt him.
But he forgot one thing that Theodore was not reliable at all.
He was sent to the hotel with a woman.
He didn't know how he had left and how he had stayed in a room with a strange woman.
What he remembered was that a woman had been taking off her bathrobe when he woke up.
Maybe she had been about to sleep with him...
Then he came to his senses and vaguely remembered that after drinking his last glass of wine,
Theodore said, "There's nothing I can do for you but I can let you have some fun. You will realize there
are plenty more fish in the sea."
At first, he didn't know what he meant.
At this moment, he understood everything. He drove the woman away without saying anything and
gave her some money for keeping it intimate because he didn't want to be questioned by Theodore and
he didn't want to waste time explaining.
But he didn't leave the hotel.
After all, it was already 3 o'clock in the morning. Although he was almost sober, he still felt a little
uncomfortable, so he simply slept in the hotel.
He didn't come back until now.
Then he saw that Susan ran towards Henry excitedly.
Sitting in front of his computer, sometimes, he needed these densely packed codes to help him forget
everything and even suppress all his feelings.
…
Hannah went to work on Monday.
She felt it easier to go to work than to stay in the same room with Oscar.
She didn't know how Max could put up with him before she was here.
She walked into the company, through the hall to her office.
Many people around were looking at her. Obviously, something was wrong.
Hannah sat on her chair and Rose reported work to her.
Rose said, "I got the news that Janet would take Win to the launch event of the business district project
of Starlight Group today. She lost Celina, so she should make some big moves next."
"Have you checked? Are they planning to build a business district?" Asked Hannah.
"Yes, it's true. When you asked me to investigate it, I went to the relevant local department and found
that Starlight Group had indeed bought that land, but they didn't go to the Planning Bureau to report
what they were going to build. Yesterday afternoon, I received a message from my insider man saying
that their project about the business district was approved on weekend. That is to say, it is not fake NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
news now." Rose reported.
Hannah was lost in thought.
So, Janet was driven mad by her and began to take action.
At first, Janet thought she could make Hannah suffer big losses without actually building a business
district or spending lots of money, but later she found that it was impossible. It was obvious that Celina
would agree to settle in the Light Building. She could only take the risk to build a real business district.
Janet was really determined to bury her.
The high-end business district was not something they were good at and was not inconsistent with their
future directions.
If she did so, it was very likely to cause a profit decline.
Especially when she was so radical.
Of course, that was good for Hannah.
Since Janet had gone all out to make her suffer, she would make her lose in the same way.
She signaled Rose to leave.
It was not that she didn't trust her.
But there was no need to let everyone know that she had some dirty tricks.
She also had her dignity. She didn't want to ruin her good image.
