Chapter 25 She has a sharp tongue
Chapter 25 She has a sharp tongue
On the surface, the Shahbaz family is harmonious. In fact, it is not so. Chester Shahbaz's father Bryant
Shahbaz does not live at home all the year round because of his bad relationship with his father, but his
wife Lily Pons stays at home.
The eldest son Chester Shahbaz is young and promising, but now he is a useless man. Even so, Lily
Pons still places all the hopes of the Shahbaz family’s succession on him but ignores the healthy and
active younger son.
On the surface, Zander Shahbaz is a man of cowardice and incompetence who respects his parents
and brother, but he has tried to make love with his sister-in-law for several times. If he is really
cowardly, he doesn’t dare to think about it.
It is not a simple thing!
Hannah Joseph has two people's memories. She thinks too much about the complicated things. She
can't resist the sleepiness and gradually falls asleep.
Because of the influence of the wedding disturbance, even the Green group, which has been taken
over by Leo Bruce, is deeply influenced by public opinion. So the stock market is turbulent.
Hannah Joseph sees her parents' hard work being ruined by others. She feels sad but has to bear it.
Only when the Green group was destroyed by Leo Bruce, could she have the chance to take it back
and strive again.
It can be said that if someone is driven to desperation, he or she will find inspiration.
This afternoon, Chester Shahbaz goes out for relax accompanied by the servants. Hannah Joseph still
surfs the Internet with her notebook in her room and a message suddenly pops up on her Twitter.
"Hello, I'm Jenny, secretary of the chairman of Lemon Holding Group. Are you the designer of this
jewelry?"
In the picture is a bracelet designed by Sherry Green when she was learning jewelry design abroad in
her early years. At that time, she often made some samples and put them on Twitter to share with
netizens, but it was several years ago.
She is thinking about it when another message comes from the dialog box.
"Our chairman is very interested in your design. Our company is interested in establishing a jewelry
brand for young people. We are recruiting designers. Do you have any interest?"
Hannah Joseph's clear eyes gradually brighten.
It is her dream to establish an independent jewelry design brand.
"May I have your real name? We can make an appointment to come out and have a chat. Our
chairman really likes your design. "
The secretary's words are still coming from the dialog box. It can be seen that she is really thirsty for
talents.
Hannah Joseph rests her chin on one fist, stares at the screen of the mobile phone for a long time, and
sends a line of words back, "If the independent brand your company is about to create can be operated
by myself, I think we can talk about it.”
“…”
During dinner, the dishes on the table are much richer than usual. Hannah Joseph is wondering if there
are any guests at home when there is a sound of engine outside the door. She hears the servant call
"Sir". She understands that Bryant Shahbaz is back.
Bryant Shahbaz has been to France for a business trip for half a month. He didn't even have time to
attend the Bruce family’s wedding. Today it is the first time for Hannah Joseph to meet him since she
was released from prison.
"Bryant, how is the business talk in France this time?"
Lily Pons puts food very attentively on Bryant Shahbaz’s plate but keeps looking at his father in law's
face from the corner of her eyes. She doesn't notice that her husband has looked unhappy from the
beginning.
"Just so-so."
Three simple words make the atmosphere somewhat stagnant.
Mr. Shahbaz can see at a glance that his son is in trouble in business. He snorts coldly and sulks, "I
have reminded you that business is not so easy to do. In London you are respected by others because
you have the family to support you, but when you leave London, who will know you?"
Bryant Shahbaz's temper is not very good, so he retorts, "It's common to win or fail in a battle, so is it in
a business. I've never seen a general lead his soldiers to win every battles.”
Mr. Shahbaz frowns, "Whether a soldier wins or loses in a war, he is open and aboveboard. He
defends his country. Doing business is different.”
Seeing Bryant Shahbaz is to refute, Lily Pons quickly grabs him and interrupts, "today's dish is well
cooked. Please taste it, dad, Bryant."
Both the father and the son stop talking, but they look unhappy.
The atmosphere of the whole room is frozen.
Hannah Joseph lowers her head and sighs silently. Lily Pons has a sharp tongue. She has the ability to
make her husband quarrel with her father-in-law as soon as she opens her mouth.
And the three sons and daughter at table seem to have become familiar with such scenes. They eat
their own food without saying a word. They seem to see nothing. She is convinced.
After dinner, Mr. Shahbaz goes back to his study. The three sons and daughter of the Shahbaz family
are scattered. Bryant Shahbaz seems to be angry and refuses to stay at home. He argues with Lily
Pons in the corridor.
Hannah Joseph takes the opportunity to pour tea downstairs and hides aside to hear the conversation
between the couple, "Control your temper and talk to dad well. You are his only son. He will help you.
For dad, that's an easy job."
"What do you want to do? I didn't plan to ask him to help me when I came back. What's more, do you
think dad wants to help me?"
"Well, Bryant."
Lily Pons runs after him. "Listen to my advice. Mrs. Susan is not easy to deal with. It is easier for you to
say sorry to Dad."
When hearing "Mrs. Susan", Hannah Joseph's heart thumps and she listens carefully.
"Let it be. Just remember that the Green Consortium is going to hold a charity auction tomorrow
afternoon. You can take a picture of something and give it to Mrs. Susan. Take this opportunity to talk
to her."
After hearing this, Hannah Joseph clenches her hands, slowly turns around and leans against the wall,
feeling mixed for a moment.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Hannah Joseph thinks of the scene when Leo Bruce stood humbly in front of her parents and went to
the Green Consortium to apply for a job.
At the beginning, Leo Bruce didn't inherit his family’s enterprise but wanted to enter the Green
Consortium. He gave a seemingly perfect reason.
He said that he didn't want to rely on his father and wanted to make a fortune on his own. At the
beginning, Sherry Green was inclined to focus on jewelry design and told her parents that she didn't
want to manage the enterprise. So Mr. Green and Mrs. Green believed him and asked him to work in
the Green group. But in one year, he gained the position of vice president of the group.
Now Mr. Green and Mrs. Green die unexpectedly. He comes into power of the whole group naturally.
Hannah Joseph doesn't even need to think about it. She knows that the charity auction is means of
crisis public relations taken by Leo Bruce. However, he wants to defense himself with the Green
family’s money in the name of the charity and take advantage of the Green family to gather a group of
famous politicians and achieve the purpose of doing business. It's killing two birds with one stone.
But Bryant Shahbaz just mentioned Mrs. Susan—
Hannah Joseph thinks if Bryant Shahbaz now needs the help of Mrs. Susan, she will find a
breakthrough to enter the Shahbaz group.
After all, before her rebirth, the relationship between Sherry Green and Mrs. Susan was quite good.
It's not difficult to persuade Lily Pons to take her to the auction. As long as she tells Lily Pons she
knows antique calligraphy and paintings, that is enough. Lily Pons is afraid of repeating the wedding
banquet disturbance and being cheated by others. It's no harm to take Hannah Joseph with
her.
