No Substitutes for the Bigshots' Dream Girl Anymore!-Chapter 48 Auntie

Even if they were of the same age, the mockery towards Arnold Simmons’ status lay in the generational gap between them.

In the end, he was nothing more than an illegitimate son whom people looked down upon.

Today, he enjoyed his time in the limelight, but no one knew what tomorrow would bring.

The name Jimmy Simmons was brought up for the first time at a banquet since his disappearance.

After all, nobody dared to gossip about the Simmons family’s affairs in front of Arnold Simmons.

Even if one was curious, one mustn’t dare to pry.

George River dared to speak up not only because he wanted to stand up for his brother, but also because the River family, as an old-fashioned and well-established family, albeit suppressed by Arnold Simmons recently, was difficult to shake in a short time.

"If you want to call him, I don’t mind having another nephew." The man said indifferently, then turned to Hannah and said, "Come on, here is your little aunt. Call her."

George River’s eyes widened, and he was too flabbergasted to speak.

Hannah bowed her head, the wide brim of her hat completely obscuring her face, but she could not help but laugh.

What was this? After her ex-boyfriend dumped her, she had become his little aunt?

The girl’s laughter was soft, but still clear and crisp like shards of ice falling into a bowl, fascinating and provocative.

Many people at the scene finally noticed the girl caught in the crossfire between the two men.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t see her face. Based on Second Young Master Simmons’ remark, it was unclear whether he was going public or just amusing himself.

Arnold Simmons had never been seen with a woman over the years, but men were, after all, expected to be in the company of the opposite sex. Otherwise, it was easy to suspect that there might be a problem.

George River was infuriated but still tried to suppress it. Only his clenched fists behind his back betrayed his feelings.

Hannah noticed this and the smile on her lips deepened.

In the original character’s memory, this was George River’s most common reaction when he was angry.

His good upbringing and status absolutely forbade him from losing composure.

Harvey Cooper, sensing that something was wrong, rushed forward to mediate despite the risk of misjudgement, and brought George River back to his seat in the process.

After that, there was no further conversation between the two men.

George River was fuming while Arnold Simmons was oddly enjoying himself at the poker table, letting Hannah play with his hand of cards.

"What if I lose?" Hannah looked up at him from under her hat, her eyes sparkling. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Arnold Simmons found this amusing. "With such low ambition? If you lose, I’ll just use you as collateral to pay off the debt."

Hannah frowned and thrust the cards back into Arnold Simmons’ hand, declaring, "Then I won’t play."

Arnold Simmons burst into laughter.

The bystanders were taken aback to see the stoic man laughing so heartily, but they also joined in, mostly complimenting Hannah on her cute and funny personality.

They were quick to switch sides and start kissing up to Hannah.

The young girl was delighted and, had she had a tail, she would have been wagging it in the air.

From Arnold Simmons’ perspective, he could clearly see Hannah’s smug and prideful expression. She was practically glowing.

Feeling mischievous, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "So, you really like being complimented?"

"Of course." Hannah had no intention of hiding it. "All girls like to be complimented. Not everyone is as boring as you, Mr.Simmons, ignoring my beauty."

She still remembered Arnold Simmons’ comment about her looks being average.
