Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband novel Chapter 1578

Cornelia was driving the same ruby red Porsche that Marcus had gifted her when she was his secretary at Hartley Group. Given the nature of her work, she didn't get out much, and she drove even less, so the car still looked brand new.

After getting into the car, Hannah looked around and asked, "You're still driving this Porsche? Didn't your man buy you a new one?"

Cornelia replied, "He wanted to, even wanted to hire a driver for me, but I refused. As a girl from a normal family, I often don't like having strangers shadowing me. Usually, when I go out, I drive myself. It's only when I take Hope that I'll have Patricia tag along."

Hannah nodded, "I feel the same. While filming, I didn't want my assistant to tag along, but I had to since some things required explanation. And why didn't you bring Hope along? I miss my little godson."

"Hope is with his dad at a private gathering. It's one of those meetings with Steven and his pals." Knowing Hannah wasn't fond of mentioning Steven, Cornelia quickly changed the subject, "Hannah, what are your plans? Going to continue acting?"

Hannah chuckled, "Because of my leg injury, I haven't filmed for almost a year. Now, I'm trying to get pregnant, and if I do, it will be another year minimum. Two years out of the public eye, and with all the new faces, who's going to remember me?"d2

Cornelia responded, "Hannah, I think you might be underestimating the size of your fan base. Yes, there are a lot of new faces, but there are very few who can actually act. People are eagerly waiting for your return."

Hannah asked, "Do you really think I can act?"

Cornelia retorted, "Or did you buy your Best Actress trophies? They are real awards. Your acting skills…"

Hannah interrupted her, "Indeed, they were bought. Steven paid for them."

Cornelia was flabbergasted.

Hannah continued, "Steven sponsored the awards the year I won. I guess he must have pulled some strings backstage. Otherwise, why would they give me the award when there were so many seniors ahead of me?"

Cornelia was driving and couldn't free her hands or she would have poked Hannah in the head. "Hannah, can you please have some clarity about your own abilities?"

Hannah whispered, "It's precisely because I'm aware of my abilities that I feel I only received the award through connections."

Cornelia exclaimed, "The award you won is recognized both domestically and internationally for its professionalism. Over the years, all who won that award were genuinely good actors. Do you think just because Steven was a sponsor, he could break the rules and hand you the award?"

Hannah asked, "What else?"
