Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth

Chapter 14 Embarrass the Sawyer Family



The atmosphere was peaceful when they had lunch around the round table.

After lunch, the Sawyers invited them to have tea at the flower garden at the back.

"Well, since we've known each other for so long, I'll cut to the chase," Lee spoke after letting the housemaids finished pouring the teas.

Miguel certainly agreed with passion. "Sure, go ahead. We'll follow your decision regarding Hannah and Charles's marriage."

"Then please excuse me." Lee looked generous. "The wedding is next month and we'll make it big. No matter what, we are still two of the largest families in Kensbury City, and we can't be casual at the wedding. We would afford all the expenses regarding the wedding hall's decoration and the wedding dinner, and the cash gift all belongs to Hannah and Charles."

"No problem." Miguel agreed, so as Michelle.

"As for the bride price and dowry, let's stop making guesses. You can tell us any requirement regarding the bride price and we'll try our best to fulfill it." Lee looked extremely sincere.

Miguel said, "You've taken charge of the wedding dinner, and it's not a small amount of money, not to mention we only have Hannah, our only daughter, and everything that belongs to us would eventually belong to her, we don't have any needs, but we do like to hear her thoughts."

Having received her father's signal, Hannah quickly said, "I don't have any needs either. My only hope is that the wedding would be merry and everyone is happy."

"Is there anything you specifically want? I can buy it for you," Loretta Sawyer, Charles's mother quickly said.

Hannah glimpsed at her.

Her mind was full of episodes of how that woman claimed it was for her own good and forced her to drink medicine to let her give birth to children for the family.

She only knew until she died that the so-called medicine was all brewed by disgusting insect's dead bodies and she would vomit and have diarrhoea for several days every time she drank it. Yet she had actually forced herself to drink that for eight years to give birth to children for the family!

Hannah held back her burning hatred and spoke, "I only like that sapphire from the beginning. Now that I've had it, there's nothing more that I need."

The sapphire was obviously a taboo subject that could not be mentioned in front of the Sawyers. The facial expression of the Sawyers clearly changed when she said that.

Luckily the Sawyers were good at acting and they ignored the topic that disadvantaged them. "If that's the case, I'll not give any unnecessary suggestion anymore. We're all gonna be one family after Hannah gets married into our family anyway, and you could tell me anything you want whenever you like."

"Thank you, Mrs Sawyer," Hannah answered absent-mindedly.

"Then the bride price is settled. As for the dowry, we don't have any requirement too, it'll be okay as long as the children are fine." Lee paused and he seemed to have something difficult to speak of. He then heaved a deep sigh and said, "Actually, I do have want request now."

"Go on, don't mind me." Miguel looked open-hearted too.

"The Sawyers is having an e-commerce project recently. There's no problem with the funding at first, but we have to pay for the bank loan as it's almost the deadline. Because of this, we have a shortage of funding for the project. We wanted to borrow money from the bank again in the first place, but the bank is lacking money these days too and we're rejected several times. Having thought for a while, instead of asking help from others, why not straight ask you to lend a helping hand? After all, the Sawyers would eventually be Charles's and when Charles marries Hannah, it would be both theirs. Although I feel a bit embarrassed to ask help from you, it's not contradictory to the subject."

Lee sounded logical with his smooth talk.

The Coopers had indeed lent the Sawyers a big helping hand when they had a crisis in funding in Hannah's previous life.

And they indeed did not have a reason to decline when Lee had said until that point.

Miguel glanced at Hannah.

Hannah nodded.

Miguel then said, "Since we're a family, we should help. I wonder how much money do you need this time."

"It should be around two billion after rough calculations." Lee said blandly.

He seemed to think it was a small sum.

Of course, the Coopers could afford that amount of money, yet it was not an amount the Coopers could squander.

Hannah smiled and asked, "According to my knowledge, two billion is exactly the amount of fund the Sawyers needs for the e-commerce project. Could Mr Sawyer possibly unable to afford a single penny?" Lee was slightly embarrassed.

He did not expect her to know that project.

And he had not even expected her to say that out loud.

What she meant from her words was obvious. The Sawyers was asking the Coopers to invest in the project wholly and the Sawyers would just sit back and enjoy the benefits.

They were all businessmen.

No one could accept this kind of bargain!

The situation went a little awkward at once.

Charles quickly explained, "The Sawyers stock market dropped and we've allocated part of the fund to compensate to balance the market."

"Oh, really?" Hannah seemed like she had suddenly understood it.

No one could tell that she actually knew the Sawyers stock market needed only ten million to compensate.

And ten million was the same as nothing in front of one billion.

Charles was secretly relieved when he saw Hannah's expression.

He thought Hannah knew it very well, but now it looked like she had just heard about the project through rumors. Why would a woman who had all her heart set on marrying him and becoming his good wife know about business?

"Dad, since the Sawyers has encountered difficulty in their investment project, we should help them." Hannah said to her father.

Charles let out an evil smile.

He knew Hannah was still that foolish woman he could manipulate.

Miguel no longer understood Hannah now. She insisted to cancel the marriage and now she wanted to offer help. Although he was baffled, he still nodded. "We're gonna be one family in the future, and we certainly have to help each other."

"I'll thank you for your kindness now. Of course, I'll not take your money for nothing, I'll return the money to you the moment the project's earned money." Lee hurriedly said. He was smiling from ear to ear. "But what if it's suffered a loss?" Hannah suddenly asked. She seemed to ask it very casually.

Lee let out a wry smile. "We've done a thorough examination on the project, it's unlikely it would suffer loss."

"We can't say it for sure for anything regarding business," Hannah muttered. She then smiled innocently at Charles. "Right? Charles."

"Yes, but we've made an absolutely safe plan for the project. Don't worry, it won't suffer loss," Charles consoled her gently.

"I suppose you won't be able to return the two billion if the project suffers losses."

"That's impossible," Lee quickly said. "The Sawyers doesn't only rely on one project. Even if the project's suffered loss, we're still gonna have income from other projects and we're definitely capable to return the money."

"Since Mr Sawyer insists to return the money, let's write an IOU." Hannah smiled.

She looked harmless.

As if what she said was something reasonable, not something that would hurt the families' relationship.
