Phew!
Reluctantly, Jason handed Helen all the envelopes because he didn’t want to waste Fabian’s time. He couldn’t afford to offend the latter.
After getting a thick stack of envelopes, Helen stuffed a few of them into other people’s hands and said aloud, “Give me a moment. Open the door after I enter Hannah’s bedroom.”
With that, she trotted all the way to Hannah’s bedroom. As soon as she entered the room, she threw the envelopes in the air and said excitedly, “Here’s the money! Catch, everyone!”
Meanwhile, Jason rushed into the villa when he saw the door opened. However, he realized that Helen had already entered Hannah’s room at that time.
Upon seeing that, Fabian let out a soft laugh and shook his head.
“Hannah, Fabian is here. Please open the door. Can you bear to let him wait outside?”
Jason knew that Hannah was soft-hearted, so he tried to appeal to the latter with emotions.
Before Hannah could answer, Helen said, “Tsk! Don’t play such a trick. It doesn’t work. If you want me to open the door, be a little more sincere.”
What? We weren’t sincere enough? What should we do to prove our sincerity then?
“We are here to fetch Hannah. Of course, we are sincere. Open the door, please, Helen.”
“Hannah, I’m here to pick you up. Open the door, please. Don’t waste our time,” Fabian stepped forward and said.
Upon hearing that, Hannah stretched out her hand and signaled for Helen to open the door.
“Fabian, don’t be affected by Jason. He is not a good person.”
Of course, Helen wouldn’t let Fabian and his men enter the room that easily.
“I-I… What makes you think I’m not a good person? Did I offend you or anything?”
Jason felt embarrassed that he wished the ground could open up and swallow him when he heard Helen’s words because there were many people standing beside him at that time, including people from prominent families who had befriended the Goldstein family.
Slander! This is pure slander!How am I going to face the world after this?
“Fabian, I’ll open the door, but…” Helen played hard to get.
Looking at her mischievous sister, Hannah didn’t know what Helen was plotting in her mind, so she stared at the former curiously.
“Finish your sentence! Stop dilly-dallying. Hurry up!”
Jason got increasingly impatient. He planned to bully Helen later on when she opened the door.
“Ahem!” Helen cleared her throat and continued, “But on one condition. Fabian, you have to sing a song for us.”
The moment those words left her lips, silence descended upon the villa. Everyone turned to look at Fabian.
To be frank, they had never heard Fabian sing before. Usually, when they went for a gathering, he sat at the corner quietly while others were singing.
“Hmm… Baa Baa Black Sheep. Sing Baa Baa Black Sheep,” Helen didn’t realize anything wrong at all and continued to request Fabian to sing a nursery rhyme.
Hannah was rendered speechless when she heard that. Oh my god! My sis is crazy. Even I never heard Fabian sing a song before. How dare you ask him to sing a nursery rhyme.
On the other hand, everyone in the bedroom was dumbfounded by Helen’s words. But at the same time, delighted smiles appeared on their faces. After a momentary daze, they took out recording pens and pointed them at the door.
If Fabian really did as Helen said, the news headline would be: President of Phoenix Group sings nursery rhyme to gain entrance to the bride’s room on his wedding day.
“Cough, cough! Baa Baa Black Sheep? Fabian, I can’t help you with this,” Jason took a glance at Fabian and said with much regret on his face.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward. A heavy silence so intense filled the space that the sounds of their breathing could be heard clearly.
At that moment, Hannah wanted to say something, but she couldn’t bring herself to break the silence. To be honest, she was slightly excited and looking forward to hearing Fabian sing.
She could barely imagine how Fabian looked like when he sang a nursery rhyme.
“Fabian, how is it? I’ve told you the task that you have to complete to gain entrance. To sing or not to sing, the decision is in your hands.”
