CHAPTER 347
Chapter 347 Is He Dying?
After entering the room and closing the door, Ingrid asked, “Mom, when did
you come back?”
Hannah said, “I’ve been back for a while.” She walked to the wine cabinet and picked out a bottle from it. Then, she picked up two cups and sat down at the bar counter. She gestured for Ingrid to come over and sit down opposite her. Hannah opened the wine and poured wine into both of the cups.
Ingrid sat down and picked up one of the cups. She wasn’t in a hurry to drink it. Instead, she gently shook the cup and watched as the wine flowed in the
transparent cup.
Ingrid said, “Mom, you suffer a lot during this period.”

“I am not the only one who has suffered.” Hannah drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp. She held the empty cup and stared at the cup in a daze, saying, “Mom is not capable. I am sorry.”
Ingrid patted the back of Hannah’s hand in disapproval and said, “Mom, don’t say that! Things aren’t that bad. Why do you say that?”
“It’s all my fault. Your father took his bastard child home! But there’s nothing I can do!” Hannah gripped the cup until her knuckles whitened. She gritted her teeth and said,” I’m afraid that it won’t be long before your father will take
back his lover!”
Ever since Hannah retired from acting and got married, she managed household affairs in the Petersen family these years. She had thought that with her beauty and means, she would be able to win her husband’s heart and enjoy life. She thought she would have a happy family.
But Shawn was a playboy. A few years after their marriage, Shawn began to play the field. He even had an illegitimate child.
She endured it again and again, but now Shawn even brought the illegitimate
child home. Hannah hated Vicente very much.
Ingrid said gently, “Mom, didn’t we agree to work together? Why can’t you keep your cool? Don’t worry, Vicente and his mother won’t be arrogant for
long.”
“I don’t want to see them for a day! Do you know that that woman is publicly claiming to be Mrs. Petersen outside? I went to the jewelry shop to buy jewelry
today…” After a pause, Hannah choked out, “That is simply slapping my
face!”
Hannah continued, “You also know about your brother. For him, and for this Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
family, I don’t even dare to recognize he is my son! But your father…”
Hannah poured herself another full cup of wine and drank it up.
No wonder Hannah was so angry.
Ingrid understood in her heart. It seemed that Hannah had been wronged outside, which was why she had been so depressed when she returned.
Ingrid thought, Dad favors Vicente and everyone can tell that my father wants
to train Vicente as his successor. Even if the future Petersen Group was not all
Vicente’s, at least half of the Petersen Group will be his. No wonder Vicente’s
mother is arrogant.
If Vicente inherits the Petersen family in the future, she will be powerful. It
will only be a matter of time before she can marry my father. Thus, she can’t
wait to let others call her Mrs. Petersen.
I have always heard of that woman, but I have never seen her before. My
mother is so angry with that woman. I’m a little interested in meeting
Vicente’s mother.
Ingrid said, “Mom, don’t be angry. No matter how arrogant that woman is, it will only be temporary. In this life, she will never have the chance to marry into the Petersen family.”
Hannah was stunned. Then, she said, “Ingrid, what are you going to do? Don’t deal with her, you know your father…”
Hannah could deal with that woman easily. However, if she dealt with that woman, Shawn would definitely find out that Hannah was the one who did it.
Hannah pretended to be considerate for so many years. If she attacked that woman now, her efforts for so many years would be in vain. Just like Ingrid said, she should endure for a moment, then she would get the Petersen Group.
“Mom, don’t worry. I won’t do anything to her. However, no one knows what will happen to her.” Ingrid smiled gently and took a sip of the wine. Then, she seemed to remember something and said, “By the way, Mom, is Declan not in good health recently? You are close to Cindy. Have you seen Declan recently?”
Hannah shook her head and said, “I have been to their home twice, but Cindy has always said that Declan needs to rest. I haven’t seen him. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. I just heard from my father that my uncle seems to be dying.”
Ingrid thought, it seems that even mother doesn’t know. However, the more it is like this, the more it proves that what my father said is likely to be true.
If Declan is not seriously ill, why do they hide the news from us?
Hannah was very surprised and said, “Really? If Declan is dying, he would arrange matters about the Petersen family and the Petersen family. But they don’t do anything!”
Ingrid said meaningfully, “Maybe he doesn’t dare to make any arrangements. Mom, Charles hasn’t returned yet. I heard that he is missing.”
“Did your father tell you that?”
Ingrid shook her head and said, “No, I heard this from my friend. It’s said that Charles is missing, and Declan is so worried that he is ill. Declan seemed to have gone to Yun’nan, China, to find wood. Later, he was missing. Declan
secretly sent people to look for Charles, but there was no news. It’s very likely
that…”
Ingrid made a movement of slitting her neck with her hand and continued, “It might also be because of this that Declan fall ill. Have you seen anything different about Cindy recently?”
Ingrid thought, if that is the case, Cindy’s expression and words will be different from before. It is impossible for her to not have any emotions.
Hannah frowned and said, “She is indeed different from before. Cindy has
always been in poor health. She has gone out seldom for so many years. Recently, she seems to have gone out more often. I heard that she will occasionally go to the company and meet several directors. As for Charles, she has never mentioned him…”
Hannah was so shocked that her hand trembled, and the wine in the cup splashed out. She said, “Is Declan dying? If it is really like this, then your father will definitely speed up his actions. Ingrid, if the Petersen family falls. into the hands of Vicente, we will be finished!”
Ingrid held Hannah’s hand and said, “Mom, Vicente can’t do anything at all. The most important thing for us now is not to deal with him, but how to win the directors’ support. I have won over a lot of people, but there are a few directors in the higher-ups against me. But if Declan and Charles really die, this will be good news for me!”
Ingrid thought, Vicente can do nothing in the company! No one will listen to him! What’s more, the bigger he is, the harder he falls.
