It's a threat.

What Alden did might be reported to the authorities. From the time she returned from the funeral until just before dinner, Hannah had been thinking about Alden's words.

The emotional turmoil in her heart was obvious; Alden's actions could possibly fall under the category of threats, unpleasant behavior, or who knows what else.

But Hannah had no hard evidence. It was all verbal, and Alden could deny it. Especially since there were no witnesses. And there's no guarantee that the police would support her if she reported it.

Who doesn't know the Harrison family? It might not be Alden who ends up in jail; it could be the other way around.

Hannah was at a dead end.

Glancing at her phone screen, which showed seven in the evening, Hannah shuffled out of bed. Lazily, she made her way to the dining room; she felt like staying in her room and letting her stomach growl.

It was the day of John's funeral, and Hannah's sadness was com

  • Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair   91. Silent Tears

    After hearing Hannah's entire story, Joan felt a deep sense of empathy. Hannah had to bear such a heavy burden at such a young age. Now, the confusing part—Hannah, who was previously told she couldn't get pregnant and was suspected of having a severe illness, was suddenly diagnosed as pregnant.Even Joan couldn't believe it, but perhaps it was a miracle from God."You need to take another test in a big city, Hannah," Joan advised. "Your pregnancy is certain, but if you do have a disease, it needs to be treated immediately."Hannah remained silent, not saying a word."Do this for the baby you're carrying," Joan added."I don't want to go back to Arkapolis. Alden has already thrown me out. Why would I go back there?""But staying in Sunnydale isn't a solution either." Joan stared at Hannah intently. "Soon, the news of a billionaire's wife living here will become a huge rumor."Hannah bit her lower lip."I don't think Don ca

    Don entered the hospital room and looked sympathetically at Hannah as she lay weakly on the bed. He walked over to Hannah, pulled up a chair and sat down beside her. Hannah gave him a bitter smile."Hey, Don. I'm sorry for all the trouble.""What are you talking about? I promised Susan I'd take care of you," Don sighed. "How are you feeling now? Any better?"Hannah nodded weakly."The lab results are in. You've been food poisoned. It's being investigated because the last place you ate was Abby's family's restaurant," Don explained."The food was fine, Don.""Someone deliberately put a laxative in your food, Hannah." Don sighed again. "Abby's father is furious because the evidence points to the last meal you ate.""But how is that possible?""That's why Abby's father is investigating who did it."Hannah didn't answer. She hadn't suspected anyone."I've been really worried about you, especially since you're pregnant

  • Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair   89. A Sister Plot

    Anne's face was flushed, her eyes swollen from crying in frustration. Abby, sitting next to her, felt a surge of anger at seeing her younger sister so upset."Stop crying. I'll talk to Dad. Don't worry, I'll make sure Hannah gets what she deserves," Abby said, her tone seething.Anne immediately grabbed her sister's hand. "No, don't. Dad will investigate and it will turn out that I was wrong.""But Hannah's behavior was so rude! She's just a new employee; she should know her place."Anne nodded, "I'm afraid she's going to sway Don. You saw how he defended her immediately.""We need to get rid of her, Anne."Abby got up and began pacing her office.Frankly, it would be easy for Abby to get rid of anyone in the company. Several employees had been fired for insignificant reasons, mostly because they had crossed Abby. Don always agreed to Abby's demands, especially with pressure from her father.But with Hannah, Abby felt insecure.

  • Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair   88. Standing Her Ground

    Hannah approached Abby and the woman immediately crossed her arms defensively. She was incredibly arrogant.“Don’t lay your eyes on my boyfriend,” Abby warned.Both Don and Hannah looked equally shocked."Abby, what are you talking about?" Don cut in immediately. "Hannah is married."Hannah just smiled wryly. "Yes, I'm married. I wouldn't mess with your boyfriend.""Really? Then why are you working here? Where's your husband?"Abby was so annoying that Hannah wanted to tell her that she was the wife of Alden Harrison, a rising billionaire in Summerhill. But what would be the point? After all, Hannah came to Sunnydale to get away from Alden."My husband is out of town," Hannah replied, "he works a long way from here."Abby just sighed and gave a quick nod. "Okay."She didn't even apologize to Hannah.Don looked uncomfortable and gave Hannah a quick apologetic nod before hurrying out of the cafeter

    Hannah blinked. The middle-aged woman was very rude, not to mention her messy, graying, wavy hair. What was her problem this morning that made her snap at people like that?"Are you just going to stand there and not say anything? Tell me what you need," the woman demanded.But Hannah remained calm. She just nodded politely."I'm Hannah Harrison.""Hannah?" The woman was stunned for a moment. Then her eyes widened. "Oh, sorry. I'm just a little hectic this morning. Have a seat, Hannah."Carefully, Hannah entered the extremely cluttered office. There were piles of files everywhere, and she wondered how anyone could possibly organize it all."I'm Joan," the woman said as she sat down. She looked stressed as she stared at the computer screen."Nice to meet you, Mrs. Joan.""I hope you can handle the chaos around here. I'm retiring next month, and I have a lot of work to finish."So Hannah would replace Joan."I'm too

  • Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair   86. A New Beginning in Sunnydale

    Hannah got off the train and took in the relatively quiet station. She arrived in Sunnydale just before midnight. She felt exhausted, cold and of course sleepy. As soon as Hannah stepped off the platform, she saw someone standing there holding a piece of paper with her name, 'Hannah', written on it.Hannah smiled as she spotted the man with light brown curly hair and quickly approached him."Hi, you must be Don," Hannah greeted him.Don smiled broadly and held out his hand. "Susan's favorite cousin, yes, that's me; Don."It turned out that Don was a very friendly man; he immediately took the small suitcase out of Hannah's hand and led the way out."Is this all you brought?" Don asked in surprise."I don't have much.""Well, okay."Don already knew the main parts of Hannah's story from Susan and felt very sorry for her. Especially after meeting Hannah in person, Don felt even more sorry for her. It was heartbreaking to hear how
