Chapter 90 Pleasing Mother-in-law
Chapter 90 Pleasing Mother-in-law
Roger definitely took Hannah's words to heart.
Hannah had been kind and sincere for so many years. If not for her sudden change in recent times,
Roger wouldn't doubt what Hannah said at all. However, in their minds, Hannah was still that gullible
girl. As long as she said something naive, she would still be believed by them.
Without doubt, Roger would do what Hannah said.
The less obvious point was that this couldn’t hurt Roger if he agreed with her suggestion.
First, Jane's reputation was ruined because she hooked up with Charles. But if they got married,
people would just criticize them for not being honorable enough, and would not say too much else.
Over time, everyone would forget anyway.
Secondly, Roger had always been looking forward to a good relationship with the Sawyer family. When
Hannah and Charles were engaged to be married, he wanted Jane to take over Hannah, but that didn't
happen then, and now he had this opportunity again, how could he let it go?
Thirdly, once Jane and Charles were together, he would win a marriage alliance with the another one of
the four strongest powers in Northfield. At least his daughter would the wife of the heir so that he
wouldn't be sarcastically called as just a relative anymore.
Roger could not refuse all these benefits, yet he wanted conceal what made he excited, so he did not
take a stand.
And that was all Hannah needed to say, for it would make others think she had an ulterior motive if she
said further.
Indeed, Hannah was planning something.
Jane was a woman of little standing. How could Charles marry her? He would by no means marry the
daughter of a relative of the four families. He would rather marry someone who was useful for him,
such as Hannah, or Ivy coming in the future, who became a home wrecker of Hannah’s marriage later.
Jane would never be good enough in his eyes.
If Roger went to let Charles take responsibility for Jane, he was making a fool of himself and would be
insulted by the Sawyer family. In this way, the Sawyer family and Roger's relationship would certainly
be crashed.
In the last life, Roger colluded with Charles privately and helped Charles do a lot of bad things, leading
to the Cooper Group's rapid demise. In this life, of course, she had to stop everything in the bud.
"I haven't slept much in the past two days, and I feel so sleepy." Hannah said something to get through
this.
And she leaned over towards Oscar's body, looking weak and tired.
She just wanted to make an excuse to leave, yet her action was misunderstood by the others.
"As a girl in the Coopers, do you know how to behave yourself? Such lack of respect!" Lorie didn't like
Hannah, and when she saw how sweet Hannah was after her marriage, she said it deliberately.
“Mom, we have all been through this. Just a couple of young newlyweds. We should be more
understanding." said Michelle.
"Are you contradicting me now?" Lorie's face changed instantly.
In all the years since Michelle had married Miguel, she had never refuted her a single word.
Miguel tried to defend Michelle and wanted to say something.
Michelle pulled him back and said calmly, "I just think it's okay for a young couple to be affectionate
with each other. It's not like they're illegally married."
Her words implied something else.
Lorie was choked up again, however, she could not cover for Jane because what she had done was
disgraceful and completely unethical.
If Jane hadn't grown up around her, she wouldn't have wanted to take the blame.
Lorie said angrily, "It's late. Let's go back!"
Anyway, their purpose had been achieved.
She didn't want to stay here any longer, because she was getting unhappy just looking at these people.
"Mom, don't you want to stay for dinner?"
"No!" With that, Lorie left in a huff.
Roger naturally followed her in stride with Mary.
In a moment, the house was completely quiet.
Michelle breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them leave, "They finally left. I was afraid that if they
stayed here all day, I wouldn't have any peace again."
As she said that, she suddenly remembered that Oscar was still there.
"Oscar, sorry to make you watch the fun on your first day home."
"Never mind, Mom." Oscar replied in a hurry, sitting upright. He was respectful and looked just like a
good son-in-law.
He called "Mom" so smoothly.
"I've heard a lot about Uncle Roger and Grandmother. Mom, you don't have to feel embarrassed. I Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
understand." Oscar just kept giving Michelle excuses.
Oscar was attentive and clearly trying to ingratiate himself with Michelle, so Michelle instantly had a
much better impression of him.
After all, Michelle did not have any contact with Oscar before since they married so fast.
On the contrary, she used to spend more time with Charles as he and Hannah had a marriage contract
long ago. Although she could not say anything bad about Charles, she could more or less feel that
Charles did not treat her with too much respect. He rarely took the initiative to talk to her, and even
rarely called her Mom.
Compared to him, Oscar was more likeable.
"Aren’t you two sleepy? Go upstairs and take a rest?"Michelle was enthusiastic.
"I'm fine." Oscar smiled meaningfully.
Hannah could not help but feel that Oscar's smile was treacherous. She said bluntly, "I'm not sleepy. I
was just making excuses in order to avoid Lorie and Roger."
"You are still so naughty."Michelle smiled dotingly.
It seemed that there was something behind Michelle’s smile.
Hannah didn't want to look into it. Her mother wouldn’t harm her anyway. If her grandmother smiled like
that, she would definitely think more about it.
She had something important to say now. So she turned to Miguel and said, "Dad, I want to talk to you
about Mary coming into our company tomorrow."
"Didn't you just agree?" Miguel was still a little upset as he said, "I'm worried that if Mary can't do
anything, she'll get the rest of the company talking behind our backs."
"Only if she can't do anything, can we find a chance to kick her out of the company. Otherwise, do you
think we could turn Grandma down? It would just be a waste of time."
Miguel understood why Hannah had done it just now.
"However, whether Mary is capable or not, we can't jump to conclusions right now."
"What do you mean?" Miguel was surprised.
Hannah smiled coldly.
After all, in her last life, Mary had never been an easy one to deal with!
