Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth
Chapter 399 A Warn to Mary

Chapter 399 A Warn to Mary

Mary had a thorough plan. She did not have a hand in Wayne's business or joined Esther in her bullying of Lorie. That was because she had a clear cognition about the situation that Roger's era was over. If Hannah turned out to be the winner other than Wayne, she needed to replace shelter for herself.

Then luckily, she did not back the wrong horse. Now Wayne was sent to jail where he might stay for at least 7 years if the Cooper Group did not forgive him. And Esther was taken into custody for elder abuse. As per the lawyer she consulted, Esther might face a sentence of imprisonment for half to one year according to the law of Northfield, something like a warning punishment. But she heard that Esther seemed to suffer a mental dissociation, and a mental evaluation was in progress for her.

Esther's madness was understandable for what she had gone through these days. But this evil monster deserved a death penalty other than sympathy.

If she could, she would kill her, just like what she did to Jane. She would not let go of those who ever had abused her.

But it was Hannah, other than her, to seize the chance. Anyway, she would not be grateful for Hannah, since they were not on the same page.

As a secret daughter, what she wanted was to mount to the top of the Coopers, to become the ruler of this family. This goal put her at the opposite side against Hannah. So the better Hannah grew, the more jealous she got.

But she was not anxious.

Wayne's story told her that she must get cautious with every action she had to take. A rash attack on Hannah was not her strategy if she had another option.

She said with a smile, just like a close sister, "Is there anything I can help with?"

"No big deal, and I just want to talk with you about Wayne and Esther." Hannah talked casually.

"Wayne and Esther..." Mary looked a bit upset and added, "They deserved it. When I heard Wayne speaking ill of you, I did discourage him from such indecency but I just ended up getting a good beating. All I could do was only to seal my words. For mother's abuse of grandma, I could not bear it actually. But mother made a death threat to me if I dared to leak it out..." Mary cried out as saying.

"My cowardice prevented my rebellion even though I was clear about their ill behaviors. After my father was sent to prison, I lost the last support and became their target to abuse too." Mary could not seize her cry as saying, "Now they just got what they deserved. They were cause and effect."

Hannah watched Mary without any comments. And she put it straight and said, "I cannot offer more consolation, since you are so clear about your own situation. Mary, you are Roger's daughter and his only family left, safe and sound. But you are also a part of the Coopers. So you can have shelter from the family as long as you work hard for the company. What I can promise is a stable life without worry about subsistence needs, but may not be an exclusive one with privileges.

"I get it and I will work hard for the group." Mary made a quick response.

"That's great." Hannah nodded and added, "Then I don't have any more to tell. You can get back to your work."

"OK." Mary left modestly. As soon as she turned back, her expression changed, from which one could barely replace a clue of modesty.

What she was always going after was exclusiveness with privileges.

Why did they deprive her of rights for owning which they were born to have?

Hannah watched Mary's back as she walked out. The first reason for today's talk was to test. Obviously, Mary was pleased by her existing life for no one could abuse her like before. The second is to warn. No matter whether she could receive it or not, Hannah did try all her efforts to avoid another in-house war. But Mary shall be responsible for her choice in the end.

Hannah shifted her mind from the family. She had to focus on her job.

The business of the Cooper Group ran on the track and there was no new project to launch for the time being. So it was a good time for a massive personnel turnover.

As a historic group like Cooper, all the important positions were occupied by the experienced over 50 years old, except Wayne and her. Though experience mattered, newcomers could bring vitality to the group. And that was the only way to keep Cooper aligning with the changing world.

As she planned, her phone rang. At a glance at the call, she said, "Hello, Susan."

"What are you doing now?"

"Working, and what else can I do?" Hannah answered perfunctorily.

"So now are you too busy to talk with me?"

Susan was as sensitive as Sherlock Holmes, sometimes.

"When is the last time you made a call to me? Can you remember? Didn't you know how boring life could be for a pregnant?"

"I think you have the company of Justine and Manuel, and they can offer all the pleasure you need, don't they?"

"Nonsense! They came for irritating me. My toughness is the only reason to keep me off from miscarriage under such frequent daily provocations."

"Well, I don't think it right to just say miscarriage so casually for a mum. Your baby will be pissed off hearing so." Hannah could not help warning.

Susan sounded careless, "I don't give a damn shit care. Her existence is nothing but torture to me."

"What does she do to you this time?" Hannah asked.

"It has been 4 months since I started to suffer from serious vomiting. You cannot imagine how hard every day is for me! I have been fed up with that. The only consequence might be possibly a she-die-or-l-die.' "You cannot be more exaggerating than saying so."

"You will understand if you have a baby."

"..." Hannah found it difficult to have a normal chat with Susan.

"So talking about you, how come you haven't carried a baby in such a long time after you got married?" Susan doubted.

"We haven't listed it into our schedule. And don't put it like a medical problem."

"Well, you have to take it seriously and maybe there is a medical problem indeed." Susan said seriously, "Playboys, like Oscar, possibly face impaired fertility for their earlier carnal life. I am not scaring you. You'd better get him to check it up. The sooner you turn to the doctor, the sooner you can recover."

"Come on, Susan. That's enough." Hannah said annoyed.

Damn it.

Susan's remark sound reasonable...

"Just a kind reminder. Why did you sound angry?"

"OK. I have to go."

"May I regard your response as a confirmation of Oscar's fertility problem?" Susan concluded.

Hannah just wanted to cut off Susan's bullshit right away. What a naughty girl.

Hearing Hannah hung up the phone, Susan was irritated, pursing her mouth.

She was concerned about her. But Hannah rejected her kindness. Putting down the phone, Susan was seized by a strong regurgitation. She covered her mouth with both hands at once in anguish.

Hell!

Death must be much easier than pregnancy.
