Semua Bab Marrying the Chairman in the Wheelchair: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Sarah stared intently at Alden, feeling a deep sadness at seeing the man she loved looking so lost. They had sat across from each other in a cafe for over fifteen minutes, but Alden remained silent. He sipped his coffee and then drifted into his thoughts, staring out the window."Alden, what were you thinking about?" Sarah asked, breaking the silence between them."I'm not sure it's wise to talk about it with you." Alden looked at Sarah. "You have enough on your plate as it is.""Whatever I can do for you, I'll never feel burdened."Alden lowered his head slightly and let out a weary sigh that only made Sarah more anxious."Don't you trust me? Can't you at least share a little?" Sarah pressed."It's about Hannah."Sarah's mind immediately flashed back to the incident at the hospital when she had switched her urine sample with Hannah's. Could Hannah have received some devastating news? And did Alden know? Sarah wondered silently.

"Jeffrey?" Hannah gasped in disbelief."Don't you dare pretend you've never messed around with him!""What are you talking about?"Alden let out a bitter laugh as he heard Hannah trying to deny it. But his mind was already clouded with rage, consumed by jealousy because of his deep love for her. Alden had lost his common sense, entirely swayed by Aspen's words from that morning."You're still not going to admit your relationship with Jeffrey?" Alden hissed."Alden, can we please talk this out calmly?" Hannah began to feel Alden's grip tightening. "It hurts.""I want to know what he did that you can't seem to let go of him!"Alden suddenly climbed on top of Hannah, pinning her legs down. With rough force, he pressed his lips against hers, leaving Hannah struggling to breathe. When she was nearly out of breath, Alden finally broke the kiss."Please, listen to me!" Hannah begged, tears streaming down her face.Alden yanked

"Hannah is sick, Mom. But we don't know what is wrong with her yet," Jeffrey said.Aspen scoffed. "Oh, she's probably just trying to get your sympathy.""She showed me the results. And you didn't see how devastated Hannah was by the condition!" Jeffrey's voice rose again.Francesca looked shocked. She hadn't expected something so terrible to happen to Hannah, and her guilt grew even stronger."Where is Hannah? I want to see her," Francesca said, shifting the focus away from Jeffrey and Aspen."She's gone, Mom. Because of Aspen's actions, Hannah was falsely accused, and Mr. Alden was furious," Jeffrey explained.Francesca's eyes went cold as she stared at Aspen. "Why would you do that, Aspen? Hannah's done so much for us."Aspen remained silent, unwilling to say a word. Her face flushed with anger, and Jeffrey's patience wore thin."Tell me, who gave you these photos?" Jeffrey demanded."And what if I refuse?""The

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

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.
