Chapter 50 I Don't Think It's Her
"You've only worked for our company for a few days, but why are you so curious about peer groups?"
Chester asks coldly and oppressively.
"Peer Group?" Hannah is stunned and also confused, "What? The trending topic of AP Group last night
suddenly disappears on the Internet. I’m just curious about why AP Group is so powerful."
"What topic?"
"It’s about an actress, Queenie, you may not know her. She was sent to have dinner with the young
master of the AP Group, as a hostess. Well, the girl didn’t want to sleep with him at all and she
splashed him with wine. It ended up by the suspension of the actress for more than half a year. Now
someone finds out that..." Hannah says the news in a few words. She deliberately uses the tone of a
gossiper, speaking vaguely and even exaggerating a bit.
Just as she expects, Chester doesn’t get suspicious, and says indifferently, "It’s only an actress. If the
AP Group can't even settle such a small matter, they’d better be out of the industry."
"Is this group great in the industry? How does it compare to dad's company?"
"It’s hard to say." Chester sips his tea and says in a slow tone. "The Shaw Group doesn't take jewellery
as its main industry, and it first focuses on department stores. Jewellery, as a secondary industry, is just
the extension of previous industry started a few years ago. But AP Group has been in jewellery for
decades and has cooperation with the Miller family, the London antique family and the Smeta Group
who has co-brands with other foreign brands. It has an extraordinary status in London's jewellery
business."
Hannah nods and thinks for a moment, "Well, it must be a big man in this industry, but its boss is not a
good man, is he? How could he teach his son to do this?"
Chester glances at her and says, “Bill Pope is an illegitimate son of the boss. Bill came back to his
family when he was more than ten years old after the death of the legitimate son of the Pope family."
"Really?" Hannah looks at him and suddenly says, "Haven't you been in the troop? How do you know
so much about these conglomerates in London?" She pauses for a second and blinks, "You are not
having two strings to your bow, planning to inherit the Shaw Group after you demobilize, are you?"
Chester's suddenly looks at her deeply and says coldly, "You're setting me up to make me divulge
something."
"What?" Hannah immediately sits up straight and quirks her eyebrows to deny, "I don't mean to do that,
and you're the one who says all this. I just have a wild guess. What did I get you to say?"
Chester's frowns slightly, and he looks at her with slight vigilance.
The atmosphere at the table is suddenly stagnant.
Hannah finishes her food, picks her bag on the next seat, saying “I am in a hurry to go to work” and
quickly leaves.
Whatever, she doesn’t mean to get him to say anything. Who knows that he is so frank today? She just
asks something, pretending to be a layman, but who knows he would say a bunch of things about the
relationship between these jewellery groups in London?
Who would have known these relationships if they haven’t intended to do the special investigation?
Even the secret that Bill is the illegitimate son of the Pope family alone would never be heard by
ordinary people.
So Hannah is right, Chester has two strings to his bow. He has a special study on running a business.
Once there are any problems on the military side, he could have the Shaw Group as an alternate plan.
However, this plan is just against the interests of Zander. No wonder Zander behaves respectfully on
the surface but molests his sister-in-law behind Chester’s back.
This may be the conflict.
When Chester sees Hannah quickly slip away, his vigilance instantly disappears, and he drinks a sip of
tea as if nothing happens.
Clement who stands beside him, smiles, "It's obvious that you're trying to set Hannah’s words, but on
the contrary, you say that it's her who is setting your words. Sir, that’s really smart."
Chester doesn't comment, his slender fingers knocking lightly on the armrest of the wheelchair, "Do you
think the word has been set out?"
On hearing this, Clement stops his ridicule and says seriously, "I don’t think it’s her."
Chester cocks his head slightly, suggesting his agreement. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Clement hesitates for a while but he finally can’t hold his words back, so he asks, "Sir, there's one thing
I've never really understood. Lady Hannah’s family background is very modest and just in terms of
ability, she wouldn't be doing something big to let the troop spy on her. Why would you suspect her?"
Chester’s eyes which have always been placid, are filled with slight confusion, as if responding to the
air, he whispers, "Because she is different, from the past."
Whether her intelligence, her habits or characters, they are all different from the past.
Although he doesn’t pay much attention to his wife who is forcibly sent by his mother before, since she
is the one beside him, he checks all her family backgrounds. However, he couldn't match them up to
this woman now.
"Maybe it's because of those years in prison. It’s hard to live in prison, and it’s a miracle that Lady
Hannah can come out of there alive. Well, before being released from prison, there is also a fight in
prison, and she is almost declared dead by the prison doctor."
Hearing Clement’s words, Chester frowns, as if some messages has flicked in his head, but they just
disappear and can’t be caught.
Three days later, the trending hashtag 'Queenie’s suspension' is gradually withdrawn from the limelight.
Netizens often forget things in a short time and the trending topic is replaced by a new hashtag.
As soon as Hannah comes back from the washroom, she feels that the atmosphere of the department
is not natural, with groups of people gathering together to discuss something.
She confusedly walks to the side of her colleague, Sebastien.
"What's going on?"
"Don’t you know ?" Sebastien widens his eyes, “It has gone viral on Twitter. Our gold ornaments for
autumn and winter just released their conceptual posters the day before yesterday and they are
plagiarized by others today."
"Plagiarized?" Hannah looks stunned.
"Check the Twitter."
Sebastien quickly unlocks his phone and points to the first place on the hot search list to show Hannah.
"Semeta?" The moment she sees the hashtag, Hannah's frowns and said unbelievably, "The designer
of Semeta copies us?"
"Yes. I don't know who exposes it, but as soon as our conceptual poster comes out, Semeta follows
with a series of retro jewellery suit, saying that it’s old fashion. But look at this, except for the material of
the jewellery, it's shockingly similar to our collection! Rose is fuming, and she has already gone to the
legal department to find a lawyer to discuss property rights."
Sebastien's words sweep past Hannah's ears like wind, but Hannah stares at the pictures of the similar
jewellery on her phone with a complicated look.
She has seen these pictures before, and it is obvious that Heather plagiarizes others’ design.
If they really sue up, Simeta's designers only need to take out design compositions. Just compare the
storage time of their compositions, and then Shaw Group will be completely defeated.
