After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 991 The Worst Teammate

Chapter 991 The Worst Teammate

In the lobby, Oscar was staring at Besse intently, watching the scene unfold before him. The world

seemed to quiet down and everything was exceptionally beautiful until a sudden voice interrupted

them.

"Oscar, don't tell me you came up with such a sneaky plan just to keep Besse here..." The words were

cut off as Susan saw Besse sitting in the lobby. She was completely embarrassed. Her mouth hung

open in surprise and she couldn't close it for a while.

Oscar glared at Susan, thinking that she was the worst teammate ever. They stood there motionless

until Max came out of the room and walked over to Besse.

"Miss Besse, your room has been prepared for you. Would you like to take a look?" Max said kindly.

Besse felt awkward because of what Susan had said earlier. She let go of Salem and gave Max a faint

smile before leaving with him.

Susan watched as they left then turned back to Oscar with her eyes fixed on him. "Wow, you went all

out just for this...," she said sarcastically while grabbing Manuel's hand tightly.

"Hubby, I want to go home."

Manuel didn't know what to say or do. They were planning on going back home soon but when they

heard about Besse's plagiarism scandal on the news, Susan immediately thought it might be Oscar's

doing since everyone could see that he had feelings for her. Being curious by nature, she convinced

Manuel to bring her here so they could find out more about what happened.

And now, Susan couldn't believe it-Besse was already living in Oscar's house. He sure knew how to

charm women.

She remembered Hannah who fell for his charms when he acted like an indifferent playboy but now...

she wasn't sure why but somehow she didn't mind seeing Oscar and Besse together anymore; maybe

because they looked so much alike that subconsciously she saw Hannah in her place.

"Wait," Oscar called out as he saw Susan dragging Manuel away from him hastily.

Susan was frightened by his voice.

She stared at Oscar with wide eyes. "You're not thinking of killing someone, are you? I'm telling you, I'm

pregnant and the baby has your family's bloodline! Your aunt, Justine Knight, no wait, Justine Wells

said that once the child is born, we'll change its surname to Wells. You can't do something so extreme!" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Oscar was also speechless, and so was Manuel. Oscar left a sentence behind. "Come to my study."

Saying that he turned around and walked away quickly.

"Hubby, I don't want to go..." Susan looked at Oscar's back. She didn't dare face him after what she

had just said might drag down her descendants in the future.

"He's not that crazy," Manuel sighed helplessly. "Besides, even if you don't go and he wants to take

action against you... you won't be able to escape."

"Manuel,"

Was this guy trying to scare her on purpose?!

"Let's go." Manuel took Susan by the hand and followed Oscar into his study.

The door locked behind them as they entered the room. Susan shivered when she heard the sound of

it locking shut. Manuel hugged her tightly in his arms, knowing exactly what she was thinking right now.

" 'Phantom'," Oscar got straight to business. "Find out what connection this designer has with Hannah."

"Are you insane?!" Susan couldn't help but comment sarcastically. "Everyone seems like Hannah now."

Oscar glanced at Susan without saying anything before turning towards Manuel instead, "I asked

Theodore earlier for an investigation on Phantom's background information… This designer has been

releasing works for years now so it can't be a pseudonym used by Hannah previously. Theodore also

found out Phantom's true identity, a small designer from Kensbury."

As he spoke those words, Oscar handed over Phantom's information file to both Susan and Manuel.

Susan became interested upon hearing about this matter from Oscar; she quickly picked up the file and

read through it.

As soon as she saw Minerva Bird's basic information along with her resume written inside:

29 years old

Born in Kensbury

Attended Lancy Nursery School, Kensbury Elementary School, and Kensbury Chingho High School...

"Isn't this our classmate?" asked Susan.

She wasn't good at remembering many things but when it came down to people, she never forgot their

faces or names.

Manuel only remembered who Minerva Bird was after hearing about it from his wife-indeed, they were

classmates back then in Chingho High School.

Oscar nodded and said, "Yes, you were Hannah's classmate in high school for three years. But when

'Phantom' released this design, she was 21 years old and already in college. It seems like there is no

connection between her and Hannah."

"If there's no connection, why are we investigating?" Susan asked.

"I've carefully examined all of Phantom's work. All of them, except for the Angel series, are very

ordinary and completely different from the design sense of 'Angel'. If it weren't for the sudden

inspiration of the Angels, it can be assumed that the entire design has nothing to do with 'Phantom'."

Oscar explained.

"Could it be because 'Angel' didn't receive good social feedback at first so she transitioned?" Susan

guessed.

" 'Angel' wasn't her first design. Before designing this series, she participated in many design

competitions and had designs published in relevant design magazines. At that time her work was

similar to her current style." Oscar replied.

"So you're convinced that the Angel series isn't designed by her." Susan finally understood after going

around in circles.

But, if 'Phantom' was not the original designer of the "Angel" series, then Besse was not either. Besse

had been abroad all these years. How could she have released a draft here unless she was part of

Northfield?

Susan looked straight at Oscar and asked him directly, "Do you still think Besse is Hannah?!"

After all this talk, Oscar meant that 'Phantom' used Hannah's designs; now Besse used Phantom's

designs, which ultimately meant Besse used Hannah's designs too. Besse was Hannah, so the "Angel"

series was Besse's design.

After understanding this complicated relationship clearly, Susan was even impressed with herself.

Oscar didn't answer Susan's question but said, "When Hannah did design before, she should have left

behind many drafts. I'm unable to go back to Kensbury right now. You grew up with Hannah since

childhood so you know where she keeps things. Would you please find anything related to the 'Angel'

series design?"
