A Crazy Wife

Chapter 17 Disputes

Hannah Joseph's words make everyone present take a breath of cold air.

Leo Bruce's face changes. He explains in a hurry in case Mr. Shahbaz might misunderstand him, "I

bought this from Uncle Green before. Just because I know that you like the calligraphy and paintings of

Thomas Smith, I take the liberty to bring it. It's not obtained in a wrong way and there is no other

meaning. Please don’t misunderstand, Grandpa."

"All right." Mr. Shahbaz stops him, with a bad complexion.

"Mr. Smith is a honourable man. He is a model for politicians. But you can't even tell us where the

painting is from. That's it. You can put away the painting. I don't want to see it any more whether it is

genuine or fake. Behave yourself."

After saying this, Mr. Shahbaz turns around and looks cold, "I have something to do, so I am leaving.

Hannah and Chester, you can stay here for me."

What the military and political family fears most is to receive the illegal things. As Hannah Joseph said,

those things can even kill people, which is no exaggerated. So it's polite enough for Mr. Shahbaz to

leave.

As soon as Mr. Shahbaz leaves, Leo Bruce's face turns green and white. Immediately he and Fiona

Angela find an excuse to disperse everyone, and then they go to the lounge in disgrace.

"When did you understand calligraphy and painting?" Rainy Shahbaz stands aside and looks at

Hannah Joseph suspiciously, "who taught you in your Joseph family?"

Hannah Joseph takes a look at her and says, "I like it. I have spent a little more time on it."

"What are you proud of?" Rainy Shahbaz is very dissatisfied with Hannah Joseph’s tone of speaking to

her, "You only understand the painting and calligraphy. Who do you think you are? I don't want to be

with you."

While speaking those words, she walks away.

Hannah Joseph wants her to leave early. From the very beginning, her eyes have been fixed on Leo Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Bruce and Fiona Angela in the distance.

"It is said that the Shahbaz family’s eldest daughter-in-law is weak in character, isn’t it? It's not like that.

"

"No, I think she's a perceptive person. If it wasn't for her today, Mr. Shahbaz would accept the painting.

When the distribution of the Green family’s heritage is clear, some side relatives will trace the painting

and report Mr. Shahbaz. That will be a shame to him.”

"..."

The guests are chatting in seats, but no one notices Chester Shahbaz, the disabled young master of

the Shahbaz family, who is sitting in an inconspicuous corner and looking. He puts his crossed fingers

on the knee blanket, listening to the gossip of the guests around him.

He can't help but think of Hannah Joseph's various behaviors after she came back. He feels more and

more suspicious and asks the servant around him.

"Where is she?"

The servant is stunned for a moment, "the young mistress? She was here just mow. Perhaps she went

to the lounge.”

Hannah Joseph went to the lounge with Leo Bruce and Fiona Angela. Since the very beginning of the

wedding when Fiona Angela appeared on the scene, Hannah Joseph noticed one thing on her. It

belongs to Hannah Joseph and she must take it back.

In the lounge comes the voice of argument. Leo Bruce's tone is full of anger,

"I told you not to take the Green family’s belonging at will. You had to show off. Grandpa knows

everything. Today we did a seemingly clever thing which turns out to be a foolish one instead."

"Fiona Angela chokes in an aggrieved tone," I'm for your sake. You said that the striving of our family’s

business is somewhat dependent on the relationship with Mr. Shahbaz and I got your approval for

taking the painting. It should blame that woman who came to make trouble suddenly.

They both shift their responsibilities to each other. They steal the Green family's belonging and blame

others for making trouble. Hannah Joseph can't help laughing.

"Who?" In the room comes a sudden cold voice of Leo Bruce, who looks towards the door.
