The Ceo’s Convict Wife by Jennifer Mike

Chapter 1392

“What do you mean? You won’t lend us money? You’ve opened your own studio now, and I know that your comics are to be produced into TV series. You must have received a lot of royalties, right? We just want to borrow a little money from you to buy a house for your cousin as soon as possible so that he can get married. Do you want to ruin his happiness?” Teresa questioned.

However, Hanna replied coldly, “Stop doing moral kidnapping to me. I have no obligation to lend you this money. You already have a house. Now you come here and ask me to lend you money for a house. Isn’t it ridiculous?”

“You… You…” Teresa stared at Hanna angrily. Obviously, Teresa didn’t expect that Hanna, who used to be submissive and would always lend money to them before, suddenly changed now. “If you don’t lend us money, your cousin won’t be able to get married. Don’t you feel sorry for your dead father?”

“If my father were alive, I’m afraid he would have been angry with you. I have a record of the money I lent you over all these years. Do you want not to repay it?” Hanna asked.

Teresa didn’t expect that she not only failed to get the money but also was asked to repay the money. She immediately stamped with fury. “That money is your filial respect for us.”

“Filial respect should be shown to the elders who are worthy of being respected. You’re not,” said Hanna.

Slap!

Teresa slapped Hanna in her face, and her face suddenly turned red.

Hanna felt pain on her face, but she just looked at Teresa coldly. “I won’t lend you a penny. If you don’t leave, I will call the police directly. There are surveillance cameras in my studio. You slapped me just now, and it was recorded by the surveillance cameras. By then, it will become evidence.”

Teresa was a little panicked. She looked up and found that there were surveillance cameras in the corner of the ceiling.

Suddenly, she glared at Hanna with hatred and said, “Okay, you are capable now. Let’s wait and see!” After that, she turned around and left.

Until now, Hanna felt weak and fell to the sofa.

In the past, she thought her uncle and aunt were kind enough to adopt her, but she didn’t know that what they wanted was the compensation of 360,000 dollars and her grandfather’s house.

Over the years, she wanted to please them and become a real family member of them. But their greedy demands finally made her tired.

They would only take her offerings for granted. If she didn’t give them money for once, they would speak ill of her as just now.

The so-called “borrowing money” was just to take her money for nothing. Every time they borrowed money from her but didn’t ever repay, nor even wrote an IOU.

Hanna lowered her head, and her eyes became wet. Finally, tears slowly gushed out, dripping on the back of her hand and also on the bracelet.

Hanna looked at the bracelet with tears in her eyes. She wondered, “Will I have a real family? Will I have a family again till Calvin falls in love with me?”

Calvin frowned slightly when he saw Hanna’s red and swollen face. “What happened? Did someone hit you?”

Hanna subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but Calvin said first, “At least I can tell what’s wrong with the swelling.”

Hanna bit her lips and said, “I had a quarrel with Teresa yesterday.”

“What happened?” asked Calvin.

Hanna hesitated for a while. In fact, she didn’t want to let him know her embarrassment. It would make her feel more inferior.

Calvin seemed to recognize her concern. “If it’s inconvenient for you, then don’t mention it. It’s just that if you really encounter any difficulties, I hope you can tell me. Don’t forget that you have a boyfriend.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Thank you.” Hanna breathed a sigh of relief and then changed the topic. “Would you like to go shopping with me later? It’s almost Shelly’s birthday. I want to buy a gift for her. Can you help me pick one later?”

“Okay.” Calvin agreed.

When they arrived at the mall, Hanna looked at the clothes, cosmetics, and shoes. For a moment, she didn’t know what gift to buy for Shelly.

“What does Shelly like?” Calvin asked.

“She’s starstruck,” Hanna said. “She has been a fan of Zack Winters these years. She bought much of his merchandise. Some time ago, she bought a necklace from a jewelry brand endorsed by Zack.”

“Zack?” Calvin seemed to be thinking about something.

“By the way.” Hanna’s eyes suddenly lit up. “Zack is an entertainer of your company, right? Can you help me get his signature? If I can give it to Shelly as her birthday gift, she must be very happy.”

“That’s easy,” said Calvin.

“In that case, I’d better buy her something else endorsed by Zack. But she has bought all the things except for some limited editions which are difficult to buy.”

Thinking of this, Hanna was confused.

“Then buy a limited edition for her,” said Calvin.

“It’s not that easy. Those limited editions are either arranged or have been sold out. They are even extremely expensive in the second-hand market,” said Hanna. She even gave an example. “Just like the jewelry brand that Zack endorsed. The cross-lock necklace Zack wore on the poster is a limited edition. Even if there are some in the shop, only senio VIP customers are eligible to buy them. Ordinary customers can only buy a similar model.”

Shelly also bought a similar product before.

Hanna said the name of that brand, and Calvin knew it. He directly took her hand and said, “Let’s go to the store.”

“Why?” Hanna asked blankly.

“Buy that limited-edition necklace,” said Calvin.

“Are you a senior VIP?” Hanna was surprised. That brand was actually a relatively affordable luxury brand among the mass brands and targeted young urban women. Calvin was not likely to have bought things there.

Calvin said, “No. But you said that Zack is an entertainer of my company, so it’s not difficult for me to get a limited-edition product he endorses for a VIP.”

“Will it bother you too much?” asked Hanna. Although Shelly would be

very happy if Hanna bought her this limited-edition necklace, Hanna didn’t want to cause Calvin too much trouble.

“No. It’s just a piece of cake,” said Calvin. “Let’s go.”

Hearing this, Hanna smiled brightly and said, “But I’ll pay for the gift for Shelly. Don’t help me pay.”
