A Crazy Wife
Chapter 26 Why go to the auction?
Before leaving in the afternoon, Hannah Joseph makes up in the room.
Chester Shahbaz stays at home, sitting in front of the window and reading a book. When seeing her in front of the mirror, he asks, "Why do you go to the auction?"
"It's boring to stay at home."
Hannah Joseph replies casually, "it's nothing to go out for a walk."
"Is it?" Chester Shahbaz looks at her back and says, "I'm going to the city hall this afternoon. You can come with me."
Hannah Joseph's action of foundation make-up pauses slightly.
"I've agreed with mum and it's not appropriate to break the appointment. Mum asks me to help her identify the authenticity of those jewelry, calligraphy and paintings."
Chester Shahbaz doesn’t show his attitude but says something casually, "I remember you didn't like going to such an occasion."
Hannah Joseph used to be submissive, probably because she was raised at home and wasn’t exposed to the world. She was always like standing on pins and needles when she went to these occasions, but the more afraid she was of making mistakes, the more likely she was to make mistakes. She often made jokes. As time goes on, she even resisted these parties.
But now Hannah Joseph not only deals with the banquet easily but also knows how to appreciate antique calligraphy and painting. Anyone else may really think she is a daughter raised in a rich family.
"In these two years I have got to know that since I marry to you, I have to deal with these occasions in the future."
Hannah Joseph calms down and says in a calm and unhurried voice, "it's better to see more than to be laughed at by others later."
Chester Shahbaz stares at her for a moment. He fixes his eyes on the book again, saying lightly, "After three years in prison, you have got to understand many things."
He doesn’t dispel his doubts but only tests her. Following the clues of these days, it's not hard to find that Hannah Joseph is excessively interested in all the things related to the Green group.
As for her hostility to Leo Bruce, Chester Shahbaz raises eyebrows slightly.
Is it because of Sherry Green?
At the auction, Hannah Joseph and Lily Pons benefit from the Shahbaz's family and sit in a very good position.
The elegant room on the second floor faces the auction desk right.
Shortly after she is seated, Lily Pons's confidant, a middle-aged woman from the Shahbaz's family called Fanny, just comes back from the outside and whispers close to Lily Pons's ear,
