Chapter 419 Are You Stupid?
“What? Is what I said wrong?” Shawn narrowed his eyes. He did not feel that what he said was
wrong. To be exact, that was what he thought for all these years.
“Funny!” Hannah sneered and looked at him. “Do you really love her a lot? You know that she is so competent, and yet you refuse to give her what she deserves. Ingrid is only where she is now because she fought for herself. What did you give her? All you could think of was Vicente. You leave everything to him. Have you ever thought about how Ingrid will lead her life in the future?”
Shawn was stunned for a while since he never saw that coming “She will marry sooner or later! By then, she will no longer be a member of the Petersen family. That means she is not in a position to
inherit the property.
“Actually, I told you about this long ago, Ingrid is indeed capable and intelligent, but she is a girl and
will get married one day. Otherwise, I will have no problem with her taking over the company. Also,
I’ve asked you to give birth to a boy, but you…”
But Hannah had a weak constitution to have one more child after giving birth to Ingrid, which had made her suffer a lot already. And then, Shawn had Leslie as a mistress. In its wake, Vicente was around. All the while, Hannah turned a blind eye to it because she thought Leslie and Vicente would never be members of the family no matter how. Moreover, at that time, Hannah was too weak to confront Shawn. Therefore, she had to accept it stoically.
But now, things had turned out to be like this…
“It’s true that I failed you to give birth to a boy. But, Shawn, do you think it is fair to treat Ingrid like
this just because of this?”
“That’s what everybody does! I mean, who would give his family property to a daughter?” Shawn said angrily, feeling wronged. Then looking at Hannah’s disappointed eyes, he seemed to have realized something. “I know now. You and Ingrid joined forces to set me up because of this, right?”
“Set you up?” With a sneer, Hannah said, “If you think Ingrid getting what she deserves with her capacity is a trap, then be it. But the fact is, Vicente is the one who caused trouble and put the company in a crisis. If Ingrid doesn’t reach out to Declan and asks for control of the company, how long do you think you and Vicente can hold on in the company?”
Shawn was lost for words.
Hannah did have a point.
‘Ingrid has been trying to fix things and undo what Vicente did to the extent that she even threatened Declan a bit. And yet, you are here only to accuse her. If that’s what you want, alright then, do it. Meanwhile, I’ll tell her to stop bothering about it. That way, she can lead her peaceful
life again.”
As she spoke, she picked up her phone, wanting to call Ingrid.
Stunned for a second, Shawn grabbed Hannah’s phone. “What are you doing?”
I’m doing what you want me to do. What else can I do?” She tried to snatch her phone back.
But Shawn outstripped her in terms of strength and speed. He managed to keep the phone in his hand. “Stop it! At a critical moment like this, being angry with me is not a wise thing to do. Do you mean that
Ingrid went to Declan to find a way out for us?”
“What else could it be? With the company being where it is now, it is only pointless taking control
of it.” Hannah’s eyes reddened and she was on the verge of tears.
Looking at how tearful Hannah looked right now, with her swollen cheeks, Shawn began to regret
He realized that he was being too impulsive and heavy-handed.
“Hannah…” She called her name and raised her hand, wanting to touch her face. But Hannah turned
her head and dodged it. “Stop it. Save it for someone else.”
Hearing that, Shawn said with a smile, “Sorry, I was too impulsive. It was my fault for getting angry before I even figured out what happened. How about you hit me a bit to vent your anger?”
As he spoke, he picked up her hand, inviting her to slap him in the face.
Jerking her hand away, Hannah frowned and said, “What are you doing? Act your age! Shawn, you know what? Let me be honest with you. I feel very disgruntled at you for having a mistress and a son out there. I don’t think there is ever a woman who can share her husband with other women. But I have seen the world and am capable of seeing the bigger picture. Do you think I would harm
the company’s interests for the sake of myself?”
Shawn was completely convinced now. Therefore, he clenched his hands into fists and massaged her shoulders gently. “You’re right. What you said is right. I was muddled, and I was a bastard. That’s why I suspected you and Ingrid.
“But Hannah, since Declan and Cindy are already angry and refuse to hand over the stuff, what do we do? I mean, we can’t get tough with them, right? I visited Declan this morning, only to be blocked by
Cindy. Could it be that Cindy wants to take charge of the company herself?
“Are you stupid?” Glancing at him, Hannah said, “It’s been so many years. Don’t you know what kind
of person Cindy is? Even if she wants to can she? She is not manager material. She keeping the stuff to herself only means that she wants negotiation. I think she is easy to deal with.”
Hannah thought over it, having her own plans.
Of course, Hannah knew that Ingrid reached out to Declan. But it surprised Hannah a bit that Cindy a pushover, would be so strong-willed at such a critical moment that she refused to give Ingrid the seal and even drove Ingrid away.
Moreover, she refused to let Shawn into their house as well.
Now that Declan was sick and her son was probably dead, what was the point of Cindy taking control of the company by herself? Not to mention that she did not know how to manage the company at all. Even if she did, who would listen to her now?
Therefore, Cindy taking control of the company could only mean that she wanted to use it as a bargaining chip so as to fight for what she wanted for the rest of her life.
“I think what you said makes sense!” Shawn nodded repeatedly. He knew Hannah outdid him in terms of human-related issues. In fact, Hannah outdid Leslie in that as well.
“Then … should you talk to Cindy?” He ventured, “If we could get Declan’s private seal, the password to the safety box in the company, and the keys, the company would be ours.”
“Ours?” Glancing sideways at him, Hannah laughed out loud. “Is it ours, or Vicente’s?”
“Again?”
Being seen through, Shawn felt a bit embarrassed and laughed dryly. “Don’t worry. I will never treat you and Ingrid unfairly!”
Hannah thought, I knew he wouldn’t promise anything. Eventually, the company will for sure go to
Vicente.
In fact, Hannah knew Shawn so well. She knew that he was too stubborn to change his thoughts
whatsoever.
“Save your find-sounding words after we get the stuff. It’s only useless talking about all this now.”
“Right. You are right!” His face was full of flattering smiles, and he was no longer as furious as before.
