Chapter 14 Leo Bruce, We Meet again
Chapter 14 Leo Bruce, We Meet again
Three days later,The Bruce family has rented the top floor of a five-star hotel in London. Ordinary
people put wedding photo signs at the entrance of the wedding hotel. However, the Bruce family
doesn’t follow the routine. Everything is low-key and simple. You won’t feel any joy until you get out of
the elevator to the entrance of the banquet hall.
Hannah Joseph follows the Shahbaz family out of the elevator. A servant pushes Chester Shahbaz's
wheelchair.
She is looking at the welcome entrance not far away when a figure in the swallowtail coat catches her
eyes faintly and gets clearer and clearer as what she used to be familiar with.
"Grandpa, aunt, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
When she sees Leo Bruce nearby, Hannah Joseph is still stunned.
This is the first time she has seen the man she used to love for three years in the perspective of an
outsider.
He wears a customized black tuxedo specially tailored, with lilies and a bridegroom’s label tied on his
chest. She remembers clearly that she made it for him by herself in Italy at that time when they decided
to get engaged.
Thinking of this, Hannah Joseph sneers inwardly.
Leo Bruce marries a new girl shortly after his fiancée’s death. He had been expected to be
passionately devoted. How could he have no time to customize a new suit? It's ridiculous to see he
wears a former suit in his wedding.
Leo Bruce says hello to the Shahbaz family one by one. Finally he sees Hannah Joseph. There is
some doubt in his eyes, "Excuse me, who are you?"
Hannah Joseph married into the Shahbaz family three years ago. She met Leo Bruce at the wedding.
She was sent to jail soon afterwards, so it's natural that Leo Bruce didn't remember her.
With her eyes full of contempt, Rainy Shahbaz sneers, waiting to see Hannah Joseph’s
embarrassment.
In fact, Leo Bruce has guessed Hannah Joseph's identity in the hesitation of the Shahbaz family. For a
while, he is annoyed at his quick words. How could he have violated such a taboo?
The Shahbaz family has been thriving in London for so many years. All family members are very
careful in their words and deeds. Only three years ago, they had such a daughter-in-law who was sent
to jail for murder. Although the Shahbaz family deliberately suppressed the rumors, they couldn't avoid
other people's gossip. It is naturally known that it's secretive to mention her.
Looking at all the people who have their own ideas, Hannah Joseph has a sneer splashing in her eyes.
Then she reaches a hand to Leo Bruce generously.
"Hello, we should have met once at the wedding of Chester and me. Mr. Bruce is still as charming as
you were three years ago. You look high-spirited and energetic at your wedding today.”
Her eyes are calm and clear, without any embarrassment. While speaking, she raises her chin slightly,
which even gives her an arrogant aura and makes people dare not profane.
All people at the wedding including the Shahbaz family members are stunned.
It's almost a well-known fact that the Shahbaz family’s eldest daughter-in-law has a submissive and
timid character. In the past, she got nervous when she said hello to others. Has she changed
completely after three years of imprisonment?
Leo Bruce is also stunned for a while, and somehow he feels that he is familiar with her eyes. But he
replies without thinking too much, "Oh, I'm really sorry.”
An exchange of greetings cleverly covers up a moment of embarrassment just now. Before Mr.
Shahbaz enters the door, he nods to Hannah Joseph and expresses his appreciation in his eyes.
With a faint smile, Hannah Joseph nods her head as a response. In the moment of lowering her head,
she unconsciously looks back at Leo Bruce and sees a clear desolation in his eyes.
Chester Shahbaz sits in the wheelchair, but he has a panoramic view of every change of Hannah
Joseph's look from his angle. At this moment, his eyes tighten a little.
The wedding ceremony is very simple. There is neither swearing nor band playing. The host
announces on the stage that the rings are exchanged. Everything is going in silence.
