Chapter 20 What exciting games!
A cross examination is over. Although Chester Shahbaz lets her off, his doubts get deeper.
Hannah Joseph used to be a cowardly person who could not even speak clearly, but just now what she said was coherent, ranging from personal grudges to the rise and fall of the family. Now she is confident and eloquent. She responds freely and changes completely.
Chester Shahbaz thinks he has to find out what happened to Hannah Joseph when she was in prison.
Meanwhile, the door of the bridal dressing room is closed,
"We must have been fooled by this woman. It's impossible for a dead person to come back to life. She is playing tricks to frighten us."
Fiona Angela pats the table angrily, "Leo, isn't she the eldest daughter-in-law of your step grandfather? What issues does she have with you? Why does she treat us in this way?"
Since he came back, Leo Bruce has been sitting on the sofa without saying a word. When he hears those words, he suddenly seems to be awakened, raising his head, "issues?"
It was really his mistake at the door before the wedding that embarrassed her. Did this offend her?
Leo Bruce immediately tells Fiona Angela what happened before. She immediately "understands" and gets angry,
"I know why she's against us over and over again. She's aggressive just because of such a small thing. No wonder she's not favored in the Shahbaz family!"
Fiona Angela gnashes her teeth for a long time, "I can't bear it."
"What are you going to do?"
After a whisper, Leo Bruce frowns. At first, he is not willing, but he is persuaded by Fiona Angela and promises her.
Hannah Joseph proves herself at the banquet. And Lily Pons who looks very kind changes her attitude towards her. The rumors that the Shahbaz family's daughter-in-law are neglected at home proves unfounded. Those who had some views on her now regard her differently. Many of them come to court her.
As a saying goes, friends show their love in times of trouble, not in happiness. Looking at these people, Hannah Joseph sneers in her heart, but she's generous in front of them. She doesn't refuse anybody. As time goes, she drinks a lot.
"Hannah Joseph seems to have drunk a lot?"
A voice of concern comes from one side. Hannah Joseph raises her head and sees that it is the bridesmaid of Fiona Angela.
"I haven't drunk much. I am not good at drinking." Hannah Joseph is modest. It is said that she would never be drunk however much she drank when she was in her previous life.
"I am living here these two days. If you don't dislike it, you can have a rest in the room."
Hannah Joseph looks at her warily.
The bridesmaid avoids her sight.
"How to put it. Fiona doesn't feel well, so she can't entertain the guests. She lets me help her."
"So it is."
Hannah Joseph pretends to relax her vigilance, "All right, how far is the room?"
"It's not far. It's some steps away from the banquet hall. Follow me."
"Okay."
Hannah Joseph leaves the banquet hall with the help of the bridesmaid. She wants to see what Fiona Angela wants to do this time.
The room is not far away. When she gets to the door, she wants to turn around and say something. The door suddenly opens. She is grabbed on the arm and pulled into the room by someone. The door is closed with a bang. She doesn't know what happened.
The light in the room is dim. Hannah Joseph is pulled onto the bed by an irresistible force. Then a strong smell of alcohol blows on her face. She struggles to scream, but she is covered on her mouth. From her head comes a familiar male voice, "Why didn't you tell me earlier when you like such exciting games?"
Hannah Joseph's pupils in her eyes shrink. It is Zander Shahbaz.
