Chapter 12
If it hadn’t been for that one person who always encouraged her, she would have given up long ago, maybe even quit being a lawyer altogether.
But now, even though she had resigned, she would continue to be a lawyer. She would continue to shine in her field.
Mr. Jones watched her leave and quickly made a call.
“Mr. Rosenberg, Hannah rejected the firms you recommended for her p>
After a long pause, a low grunt came from the other end.
When Hannah got home, Mrs. Rosenberg Sr. was sitting on the sofa, reading. She immediately stood up when she saw her.
“Child, you left so early this morning without saying a word. Did you eat breakfast? What about lunch? Lily, tell the kitchen to prepare lunch p>
“I’ve already eaten, Grandma,” Hannah said, leading her back to the sofa. “I just wanted to get my resignation finalized so I can start looking for a new job p>
Hearing that Hannah was looking for another job, Mrs. Rosenberg’s face clouded over with displeasure.
“You just can’t sit still, can you? You married into this family to become Mrs. Rosenberg Jr. so you could enjoy a life of comfort p>
“Grandma, you know me. I’m not the type to sit around. If you made me stay home all day, I’d go crazy.” Hannah wrapped her arm around Mrs. Rosenberg’s, resting her head on her shoulder and pouting. “Please, Grandma, just let me work p>
Mrs. Rosenberg Sr. couldn’t resist her charm. “Alright, alright. If you want to work, I won’t stop you. But this time, you have to listen to me. You’re going to work at the Rosenberg Group p>
Hannah was about to refuse when she saw Lionel coming down the stairs.
“You brat, you’re just in time. Go to the office later and arrange a position for Hannah. Something easy and stress-free. And make it clear that no one is to give her a hard time, you hear me p>
Lionel stopped, his cold gaze falling on the two of them, huddled together like Hannah was wheedling a favor out of Mrs. Rosenberg Sr..
She had proudly rejected his recommendations, and now she was begging Mrs. Rosenberg Sr. to get her into the Rosenberg Group.
His eyes, filled with contempt, rested
on
as he said flatly, “I’ll have Owen arrange a a position for you
h. His face was like stone
Hannah looked up, and the expression on his face made her heart twist. He had obviously misunderstood.
“That’s not necessary, I p>
“That’s more like it!” Mrs. Rosenberg Sr. interrupted, squeezing her hand with a smile. “You should have joined the Rosenberg Group three years ago. You must make it clear to everyone that if Hannah is wronged in any way at the office, I will break your legs p>
Lionel adjusted his cufflinks and simply nodded before heading for the door.
“Your wife just got home, where are you going now?” his grandmother called out. “To the hospital p>
At the mention of the hospital, Hannah’s eyes immediately darkened, her lips pressing into a thin line.
He was going to see Sandra again.
Hannah’s lashes fluttered. Even
though they were about to divorce,
seeing him so devoted to another
woman still sent a dull ache through her heart.
She was silent for a moment before looking up at Lionel, her expression one of forced composure.
“Tell her for me that I can’t help with her case. I’ve resigned p>
Lionel, who had just taken a step, paused and silently retracted his foot.
“I’ll put you in the Rosenberg Group’s legal department p>
