After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 15 A Trap Set for the Sawyer Family

The Sawyer family was all dumbfounded.

They did not expect her to say that out of the blue.

Hannah was slightly embarrassed by their stare. “Did I say something wrong? I thought the reason Mr

Sawyer kept on insisting to pay us back the money is to show that you were not taking advantage of

us. That’s why I ask to write an IOU so the public would know Mr Sawyer is an honest man, or else Mr

Sawyer would be judged when this spreads out.”

Lee felt a little unhappy the moment he heard Hannah’s words. He had not expected that he had made

her misunderstand when he was trying to show the Sawyers’ capability.

But, was that a misunderstanding?

He slightly hesitated. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Yet from Hannah’s look and especially the fact that she had been obedient towards them, he felt that it

was impossible for her to have any extra thought about it.

Having thought of that, Lee quickly spoke, “You’re certainly right, Hannah. It’s necessary to write an

IOU when we’re borrowing money. I would write one even without your reminder.”

“Sure.” Hannah let out a bright smile.

They had indeed given the Sawyers two billion back then.

Yet they never mentioned anything about returning the money after that!

How would she let them do as they wish in this life?

Lee immediately asked his servant to bring a sheet of paper, a pen and his stamp here. “I’ll write it

myself.”

He then wrote the IOU down swiftly.

He handed it to Miguel and said, “Do have a look and see whether there’s still anything we should add.

If not, I’ll press the stamp.”

Miguel took it over and looked at it with Hannah.

Hannah said with confusion after she saw it, “Mr Sawyer, you only wrote the amount of money

borrowed, you didn’t write the deadline to return the money and what you should do if you can’t return

the money. This IOU seems useless.”

Hannah’s seemingly innocent words made Lee’s face flush at once.

She handed the IOU to Charles, asking with an innocent look, “Charles, since you know everything,

could you help me have a look?”

Charles was slightly speechless when she asked that.

If he supported her, he would be embarrassing his father, but if he retorted, he would embarrass

himself.

Although Hannah’s words were a little offensive, she was right.

Lee could not help but explain, “Oh, silly me, I’ve never written an IOU before and I have no idea how

to write one. I’ll now add the deadline, and it would be…”

Hannah said, “Let’s make it six months later.”

Lee was pondering between three and five years, and he was surprised when she said that.

“I saw the Sawyer’s financial report which was made public a few days ago. The Sawyer’s net income

for the first six months was 3.8 billion, the trend for the next six months looks good and the income

must be more,” Hannah said clearly.

Lee let out a wry smile. “I didn’t expect that Hannah is interested in financial news too.”

“Since the Cooper and Sawyer Groups are both on the rank, I paid a little more attention to it.” Hannah

let out a sweet smile.

“Sure, let’s make it six months later.” Lee wrote it down with his teeth gritted.

Hannah then suggested when she saw him writing, “Let’s make the Sawyer’s share as a guaranty if

you’re not able to return the money within six months.”

Lee’s hand obviously froze.

“I’ve heard Susan say, Susan Phillips, the daughter of the chairman of the Phillips Bank, she’s my best

friend, she said that Mr Sawyer has used Sawyer’s share when you applied for a loan from their bank.

She’s even told me Mr Sawyer has borrowed 5.4 billion from the bank and made 18% of Sawyer’s

share as the guaranty. Therefore according to the market value, it should be 6.67% for 2 billion.”

Hannah said with an innocent look while calculating as if she was just telling a fact.

Lee still pulled his face down a little no matter how much he endured it.

Miguel finally understood what his daughter was thinking at that moment.

His daughter was leading the Sawyers into a trap and she had made them unable to retort nor reject.

All in all, the Sawyers were indeed lacking money. If the Coopers did not provide them with funds, the

Sawyers could not sustain themselves and they would not dare to damage their good relationship with

them at all.

Not to mention when Hannah looked so composed and seemed to think it was reasonable.

If they rejected her suggestion, that would mean they did not want to return the money at all. The

Sawyers must not be that barefaced!

Miguel secretly smiled. He was amazed by Hannah’s cleverness.

She was so clever that she had trapped the Sawyers in a dilemma.

“Did I miscalculate?” Hannah was slightly doubtful of herself when she saw Lee did not write it down.

She mentioned her calculation on purpose, and it was not the fact that her suggestion had made the

Sawyers unhappy.

She then calculated it one more time with her fingers.

Lee looked up and glimpsed at his son.

Charles was greatly embarrassed at that moment too.

Yet they were out of choice.

The bank refused to fund their project, and they could only rely on the Coopers. If they did not obey

Hannah, that would mean they had lost the chance to get their funding.

The Coopers were obviously forcing them to consent.

Lee was a cunning old con too and he could certainly think about that.

The reason he tossed a look to Charles was to remind him not to let Hannah live a good life in the

future.

No matter whether Hannah did it on purpose or not, she would not live well since she embarrassed

their family!

Charles nodded and showed that he understood his father’s meaning.

Lee continued writing the IOU again and said, “You’re really attentive, Hannah. That’s right, it’s 6.67%.”

As he spoke, he completed the IOU.

Hannah looked at the IOU and after making sure she had achieved her purpose, she praised, “Mr

Sawyer’s handwriting is really good. If Charles and I have given birth to a child in the future, we should

let him or her learn to write from you!”

“Look at you, you guys have not got married yet.” Michelle criticized with a loving expression.

“I do hope to have grandchildren soon,” Loretta chimed in, “I can’t wait to have a granddaughter.”

Both families then got along merrily and the Sawyers looked like they did not hold any grudges towards

the IOU today.

Hannah and her parents only left after having dinner with the Sawyers.

Hannah went to the washroom before she left.

Hannah passed through a corridor when she got out of the washroom. The corridor was connected to

the flower garden at the back of the Sawyer Manor. She took a few steps along with it and stopped.

She could hear Martina talking to someone on the phone in the garden from afar.

Although she had lowered her voice, her voice was still clearly audible on this silent night.

“Help me to ask Manuel out, I heard that he’s come back.” Martina sounded a little oppressive.

Her “sister-in-law” in the past was always arrogant towards anyone.

No one knew the reason she was that confident and why she thought no one was comparable with her.

“I’m not free tonight, my brother’s girlfriend is here, and I don’t know when she would leave. I’ll get

scolded by my dad if I leave.”

“She’s pretty? Huh! That woman was indeed born beautiful, but so what? She’s still manipulated by my

brother like a puppet. You have no idea how abased she is when she’s in front of my brother. Do you

believe that I’ll let her clean my feet after she married my brother?”

“That’s a bet then, don’t you deny when I send you the picture!”

“Deal.”

Hannah left the corridor indifferently.

So the reason Martina clung to her intimately to ask her to clean her feet back then was to humiliate

her in front of her friend.

Good.

She would keep that in mind for another vengeance to come!
