2025-06-13 02:00:21Hannah left the hospital lobby, accompanied by Edward, who walked behind her. As she was about to get into the car, she turned around. Something was bothering her.
"Wasn't Mr. Maxim the one who financed my father's treatment?" asked Hannah.
Edward remained silent, only bowing his head, not daring to look at Hannah.
"I need an explanation, Edward. Do you think you can trick me? Do you know how it feels when your father-in-law doesn't consider you his daughter-in-law?"
"I apologize, Mrs. Hannah," Edward replied.
"Please explain it to me, Edward."
Finally, Edward looked at Hannah and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. "Mr. Alden paid for everything, and he instructed me to tell Mr. Maxim nothing. You saw it yourself, Mr. Maxim's condition is not good. He's beginning to suffer from dementia," Edward explained.
"So in Mr. Maxim's mind, Aspen is the future daughter-in-law?"
For some reason, Hannah felt very upset at that moment

Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 13. Expelled by the Billionaire
Hannah stared at Jeffrey in disbelief. Before, Jeffrey had always been sweet, his words soft, his behavior never bad.But the man Hannah faced now seemed like a stranger. It only made Hannah more disappointed and dejected.Tears almost fell, threatening to wet Hannah's cheeks, and she desperately held them back."Can't you answer me, Hannah? Everyone wants to know what you can do for this company," Jeffrey pressed."I-I..." Hannah stuttered."We're starting the meeting! If you want to make a scene, please leave," Susan interjected, half driving Jeffrey away.Jeffrey would surely stop and sit down again, as Hannah suspected. But the faces of the people there began to show disgust as they looked at Hannah."Please, Hannah. Sit down," Susan pleaded.Finally, Hannah could only sit, too afraid to do anything. Because what Jeffrey said was true, Hannah didn't have the ability to understand her job description at Texco. Hannah had alr
Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 12. Mockery
"You belong to me," Alden said.The man's face hardened, his gaze full of power as he looked at Hannah."Why do you speak to me this way? Do you feel that your dignity must be respected? You have nothing, and only I have the right to say anything about you," Alden continued.Hannah swallowed her saliva.What Alden said hit Hannah hard. But as if fingers snapped in Hannah's head, she realized that she had once said that her life was in Alden's hands. Even slaves in the past couldn't fight their masters.Hannah's position wasn't much different, and if she expressed her feelings to Alden, she would surely be condemned. How disrespectful it might seem in Alden's mind for Hannah to behave so rudely."I'm sorry," Hannah said."What did you say?""I won't do it again. Is there anything else I can do, sir?"Alden took a long breath. "No. Go get some rest. You have to work tomorrow.""All right, sir."Hannah's steps

"I'm going to be Mr. Goldman's secretary, are you kidding me?"Hannah's voice sounded freaked out as she talked to Alden on the phone."What about Susan? You may not realize it, Mr. Alden... but Susan may hate me. Because it seems like I'm taking her position," Hannah continued at length.There was only a small chuckle on the other end, as if Alden was laughing at Hannah's panic."I'm serious, Mr. Alden," Hannah pressed.Alden's soothing voice only replied with a short statement, "I know.""Maybe I'm just a toy or whatever, but don't make me suffer and feel uncomfortable any more. Can't I just stay at home? I'd rather serve you than face a hellish office situation."This time Alden's laughter was uncontrollable. "You're so funny when you're scared, aren't you?"Hannah couldn't find the words, she just took a long breath and tried to calm down."Do you like your new office?" Alden diverted the conversation."If thi

Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 9. Meet Father in Law
For almost a week, Hannah had understood her daily schedule, accompanied Alden to mealtimes, and not disturbed the man except when Alden contacted her by phone.For example, Alden suddenly sent Hannah a message that night asking her to come to the living room.Hannah was almost dozing off when she got the message from Alden, so she hurried to the family room. She didn't want to hear Alden's complaints about her being slothful.When Hannah arrived, Alden sat on the couch, staring at the fireplace as if lost in thought. Hannah cleared her throat quietly, then approached Alden."You called for me, Mr. Alden?" Hannah asked.Alden picked up a file from the empty space beside him, then patted the sofa without looking at Hannah. "Sit down."Awkwardly, Hannah sat down next to Alden. Suddenly, Alden's hand placed the files on Hannah's lap."These are your assignments for tomorrow at Texco. I've written down what you need to do," Alden said. "Try not to ask Mr. Gulfman too many questions. He's
Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair 8. Alden's Decision
Hannah returned to Harrison's residence feeling insecure. She was wearing an oversized white shirt that almost competed with her skirt. Her wet clothes were carried in a paper bag, along with pens and notebooks from Texco, as if she had just returned from a company visit and received freebies.When Edward opened the door, Hannah was surprised to see Alden waiting in the hallway. Alden's hand was pressed to his lips, his sharp eyes scanning Hannah's appearance from top to bottom."Uh, hello," Hannah greeted awkwardly."Why are you dressed like this for a visit to Texco?" Alden shot at her."My clothes got wet because of an incident," Hannah cleared her throat, "Mr. Gulfman lent me his shirt."Alden sighed softly and shook his head. "Can't you be more careful, Hannah?""I'm sorry,""Change your clothes now," Alden ordered. "You're embarrassing me."Hannah nodded quickly, then hurried past Alden, almost running. Hannah wanted to throw the paper bag in Alden's arrogant face. How dare Alde
