Chapter 12 Thank you, mom
Chapter 12 Thank you, mom
Hannah Joseph sits at the dinner table and cuts the steak leisurely. She drinks a sip of red wine
occasionally. She is in an ever rarely beautiful mood.
She really hasn't enjoyed a meal in such a quiet way for a long time. When she was in prison, everyone
was scrambling to avoid missing a bowl of their own. When she returns to the Shahbaz family, she is
almost overwhelmed by criticism and accusation.
Half an hour later, nearly at the end of her meal, she suddenly hears footsteps of walking downstairs
behind her.
Rainy Shahbaz who is dressed in the latest style Chanel stuffs a small bottle of perfume into the bag
after she sprays it.
Lily Pons stops her in time, "Rainy, are you going to buy a dress? Take your sister-in-law with you."
"Sister in law?" The words make Rainy Shahbaz stunned. She almost doesn't believe her ears.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Her eyes are fixed suspiciously on Hannah Joseph, who has eaten
up the steak slowly at table.
Unbelievable! Her mom calls Hannah Joseph “your sister in law”.
Hannah Joseph coughs, ignores Rainy Shahbaz's hostile eyes, swallows the steak, and says gently
and considerately, "No, mom, I am not picky on wearing. Our family don’t do business, so we don't
need to waste too much money on this kind of thing."
"That doesn’t work. It's a matter of decency."
Lily Pons takes out a card and puts it on the table. "Take it, and remember to pick one for Chester."
Rainy Shahbaz isstunned.
Why is her mom so hospitable to Hannah Joseph?
Looking at the golden card, Hannah Joseph's eyes brighten, but she controls her emotion and picks it
up slowly, “Thank you, mom!”
Her voice is loud enough. Lily Pons is stunned. When she recovers, Hannah Joseph has already stood Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
up and walked to the porch to change her shoes.
"Huh! So good at pretending!" Rainy Shahbaz murmurs contemptuously, swinging her bag, and walking
in her heels out of the door.
In a luxury dress shop in London—
As soon as Rainy Shahbaz arrives, she is surrounded by salesmen in the shop. Five shopping guides
talk non-stop around her.
Rainy Shahbaz obviously has no idea. She hasn't tried anything yet. In the blink of an eye, there are
seven or eight bags of packed accessories around her.
Although Hannah Joseph is ignored, she is also happy. She wanders around the shop full of dresses
by herself and finally chooses a long silver gray boat neck yarn skirt.
The dress doesn’t look very impressive at first sight. When she requests for trying it on, the shop
assistant beside her glances at it and hesitates to ask if it is too plain.
"It doesn't matter. Just this one. And for the necklace and earrings over there and the two rings here, I
also want to have a try."
Although the assistants don’t know her identity very well, she is the one who follows the second young
madam of the Shahbaz family. Her identity doesn’t seem to be common, so they don’t neglect her very
much. They take all the things she wants in front of her soon.
Sherry Green used to learn jewelry design. She has a keen sense of fashion. How can a garment give
full play to its greatest advantages? What kind of jewel is a final touch? This is her strength.
Rainy Shahbaz who has selected the clothes and accessories goes into the dressing room almost at
the same time with Hannah Joseph.
Ten minutes later, the curtain of the changing room is pulled open by the clerk.
Hannah Joseph is dressed in a silver gray one word collar dress, which shows her excellent figure, with
her waist line fully protruding. The silver gray sets off her skin as white as the snow princess of the last
century. She wears a simple flower bud in her hair.
She has two silver ear lines hanging on her earlobes and wears a mermaid tear necklace currently
popular around her clavicle, which is simple, fashionable and elegant.
When the curtain is opened, Rainy Shahbaz sees that the five shopping guides in front of her are all
staring at the door of the dressing room on the other side. Their eyes are full of envy and appreciation.
Following their sight, she sees Hannah Joseph's dress. Her face suddenly changes.
What she's not aware of at ordinary times is that her wearing in jewel is just like a Christmas tree,
compared with Hannah Joseph's fresh and refined style.
Clenching her teeth, she loses her temper at the shopping guides, "Who picked this for me? It doesn't
look good at all. Pick another one."
The shopping guides feel bad. But they dare not offend this young lady, so they do as she tells them.
Hannah Joseph turns around in the mirror and looks towards the clerk with satisfaction, "This is it.
Please wrap it up for me as well as the jewelry and the man's suit over there."
She still remembers that Lily Pons told her to buy a man’s suit for Chester Shahbaz.
After paying by card, Hannah Joseph still hears Rainy Shahbaz lose her temper with the shopping
guides in the dressing room. Loosing her patience to listen, she is going to leave the shop and stroll
around.
As soon as she leaves the shop, she hears a slight "click". She doesn’t look back but from the corner of
her eyes she sees in the direction of the shop’s cupboard a man in a peaked cap, who is taking
pictures in the shop with a SLR.
Hannah Joseph thinks for a moment, thinking that there is no news to burst in the entertainment circle
recently, and there is nothing to shoot for the paparazzi, so today Rainy Shahbaz's big purchase can
narrowly make a headline.
Staring at the little reporter for a while, she turns her eyes, thinks of something and strides to him.
