"See for yourself whether it's true!" Jason retorted feebly. While he had long since been chagrined over Helen hurling fruits at him for no good reason, he was far more distressed over losing an opportunity to negotiate with her.
"Hannah Young from X City, born on x/xx/199x..." Helen couldn't help reading it aloud. With every sentence she read, her voice shook a little more, for everything matched her sister's description.
"Hmm? The deputy general manager of Phoenix Group?" She stopped short at that. As far as I know, Hannah is just an insignificant journalist. So, how could she have possibly become the deputy general manager of Phoenix Group?
Thus, she felt that it wasn't her sister. Of course, she didn't think that Jason was deliberately tricking her. Rather, she was certain that he, too,
had been duped.
"What an idiot! This isn't my sister. My sister is a journalist, but this person is a deputy general manager. That's a huge gap, okay? Furthermore, she doesn't have two hundred million. If she had it, she would've surely shared it with me. Am I not right, Hannah? Anyway, I think you've been duped as well, so I'll let you off this time. Next time, however..." Hannah's words were directed to both Jason and Hannah.
Unexpectedly, before she had even finished speaking, Jason interrupted her. "You're the idiot!"
Without giving her a chance to counter, he turned to Hannah and asked, "Hannah, do you know the name of Fabian's company?"
At that, puzzlement swamped Hannah. What exactly is on the cell phone? Why are they talking about two hundred million and asking about
Fabian's company now? Has his company made a profit of two hundred million? But what has that got to do with me?
Despite finding Jason's question bizarre, still, she replied, "Phoenix Group. Why?"
"And what's Fabian's position in Phoenix Group?" Jason continued questioning.
"The president." Exasperation engulfed
