Married First, Loved Later : A Flash Marriage with My Ex's 'Uncle' novel Chapter 506

Chapter 506: I’m Here to Report Her

With the Morris Family’s release of the design drafts, Hannah’s fame skyrocketed, and interviews and partnership offers poured in.

While it looked like Hannah was once again about to stand triumphant over Victoria’s legacy, Selina wasn’t in any hurry.

She made a phone call.

...

In recent days, the Morris Family had been basking in the spotlight.

Joe had "found" his daughter and, in high spirits, took her to pay respects to Victoria. During the visit, Angela had "accidentally" stumbled upon a stack of sketches.

These sketches turned out to be jewelry designs. The Morris Family had long wanted a slice of the jewelry industry’s astronomical profits, but with the market dominated by a few major players, even the top family in City H would find it hard to break in.

But with these designs?

Even Joe, an outsider to the field, could tell Victoria’s creations were breathtaking. With these blueprints, how could the leading jewelry houses not want to collaborate?

If they could just land the first deal, it would open the door for the Morris Family to step into the jewelry business.

So Joe wasted no time in publishing the designs.

Soon, invitations for collaboration from all over the jewelry world came pouring in.

Even Turner Group, a titan of the industry whose brand was renowned worldwide, personally called to request a partnership.

Joe was stunned. The Turner family of City N—the Turner Group that dominated the global luxury jewelry market!

Overjoyed, Joe agreed on the spot. But the Turner Group’s representative immediately asked, "May I know who the designer is?"

Joe was about to say "Victoria" when Grandma Morris stopped him.

"No. If you announce that Victoria is the designer, what if Selina decides to get involved?"

Grandma Morris was as unreasonable as ever.

"Victoria’s dead. In life she was your wife, so in death everything she left belongs to you. And Angela is her daughter too, yet she was so biased she left Angela nothing."

"Selina’s already one to side with outsiders. Do you want to make the Morris Family even more chaotic?"

Joe tried to protest, "But this is Victoria’s work..."

Grandma Morris cut him off. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Victoria’s only heir is Selina, and Selina doesn’t even acknowledge you as her father. Why should we let someone else take the spoils?"

Flustered and indecisive, Joe asked, "Then, Mom, what do you think we should do?"

Grandma Morris exchanged a glance with Hannah.

"Why not just say the designs are Hannah’s? She’s married to you, she’s family. The blueprints came from the Morris Family anyway, and outsiders have no way of knowing who made them."

Hannah quickly put on a show of modest refusal.

"Old Madam, I can’t do that. How could I claim Victoria’s work as my own?"

Joe hesitated.

That’s when Angela chimed in, feigning concern.

"Dad, I think Grandma’s right. Even though the designs were Mom’s, given the current situation, using them to secure a deal with Turner Group would only benefit the Morris Family. I’m sure if Mom were watching from above, she’d approve."

Grandma Morris beamed.

"Joe, see how sensible your daughter is? Hannah, there’s no need to feel awkward. If Victoria’s own daughter has no objection, you shouldn’t refuse."

Hannah then gracefully accepted, "Then I’ll follow your lead."

Joe relayed his answer to Turner Group: "The designer’s name is Hannah... my wife."

On the other end, the Turner Group representative gave a cold, dismissive "Oh."

"Morris Chairman, in a few days we’ll be holding a collaboration ceremony. Please be sure to bring the original designer along."

Joe was so giddy he completely missed the chill in the man’s tone.
