Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1216

Hendrick looked reassured. He'd been worried that Fabian would demand something preposterous from them. This request perfectly aligned with the Youngs' desire to protect their daughter from trouble, after all. They were all looking out for Hannah, in their own says.

"No problem, no problem. If that's the case, we won't mention it at all," Hendrick declared.

"Don't even mention it to the Blackwoods," Fabian warned.

"Even the Blackwoods?" Hendrick was astounded. "They're Hannah's family, after all. It wouldn't hurt, would it?"

"The Blackwoods are a big family, and it'll be hard to ensure that the secret stays within them. I'm afraid that if we tell them, the entire industry will replace out about it," Fabian replied mildly.

Hendrick pondered, then nodded reluctantly. He couldn't see why the Blackwoods would sabotage Hannah in any way, being one of their own. However, Hendrick trusted his newly-minted son-in-law, deciding that it would be better to avoid the probability altogether.

"I'll be damned!" Jason suddenly yelled. The Youngs had nearly forgotten about him amidst their more pressing matters. Curiosity had gotten the better of Jason, and he couldn't resist peeking at the third document. In doing so, he'd gotten way more than he bargained for.

The third document, in fact, was a certificate presented to Hannah from a charity organization. Inscribed upon it were these words, In recognition of Ms. Hannah Young for her donation of 15.5 million to the needy students of the Gablurg Tribe.

Wait! There's more? Jason hastily turned it over.

At the back of the certificate, someone had penned a thanksgiving note. Thank you, Ms. Hannah Young, for contributing 15.5 million to the education fund of fifty high schools in Horbah. Our administrative blocks will be named after you.

Another 15.5 million? Fabian, you've outdone yourself once again! Jason thought reverently. It was even more astonishing that Fabian had done this all under Hannah's name. Hannah's going to be just as famous as those names my school premises were named after! Fabian had thus ensured that Hannah would leave behind a veritable legacy.

These certificates were indeed genuine. When Regina had previously been bullying Hannah at the office, Fabian had stepped in. The might of Fabian's formidable forces had sent both Regina and her boyfriend packing to jail.

Hannah, however, had told Fabian with considerable dissatisfaction that he'd wronged Regina and her boyfriend. Discomfited, Fabian conversely made several donations under Hannah's name. Hannah was nonetheless kept in the dark regarding all of this. Dismissively, Fabian decided not to make too much of a fuss. He'd thus had the certificates and notes of thanks sent directly to the office, bypassing Hannah entirely.

Jason indeed guessed correctly that Fabian would never tell Hannah about any of this. Even now, she was almost certainly ignorant of the good deeds she had supposedly committed. Jason smirked at the thought of Hannah's reaction when she found out that her name was plastered on several buildings.

A crafty thought suddenly occurred to Jason. Why don't I sell this information to Helen? Besides, I can take the opportunity to brag a little to her!

"Mr. and Mrs. Young, if there's nothing else, I'll be off. I haven't gone into the office for two days, and there's sure to be a pile of issues waiting for me to deal with when I get in," Fabian said politely, getting to his feet.

"Oh, there's nothing else. Go ahead and focus on your work. Don't worry about Hannah. I'll be heading over along with her mother to take care of her," Hendrick replied hurriedly, gesturing to himself and Gillian.

"Her mother? Aren't I Fabian's mother now, too?" Gillian teased, rolling her eyes at Hendrick dramatically.

Feeling the welcoming warmth of the Young family, Fabian couldn't help but break out into a wide smile. "That's right, Mom! Haha!"

"Uncle Hendrick, Aunt Gillian, why don't both of you rest here for now? I'm heading out for a while, but I'll be back to visit Hannah in the afternoon. I'll drive by to pick the two of you up then," Jason proposed as he, too, stood up to follow Fabian out of the villa.

Seeing Jason tag along with him, Fabian couldn't help but stifle a chuckle in amusement. Jason had always followed Fabian around and must have been hoping to join in whatever Fabian was going to the office to do. Fabian was used to it, however, and said nothing.
