After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

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. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

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