Although Brianna had successfully defused the awkward situation, Robert's attitude toward Hannah remained cold.
Once back in her room, Brianna dialed her contact to continue investigating the matter of the painting.
"Old Mr. Carter actually sided with that girl. Could it be that she really didn't sell the painting?" Brianna's face turned pale with anger.
She had expected Ella to be reprimanded by Robert tonight.
"Mom, maybe the servant heard wrong, or Old Mr. Carter gave Ella the two million out of gratitude," Hannah was also unhappy but believed the bribed servant wouldn't lie.
"Let's set this matter aside for now. Call Eric and see if he's available to come over for dinner," a glint of calculation flashed in Brianna's eyes.
If her daughter could marry such a man, her position would be even more secure.
Hannah picked up the phone and dialed Eric's number, but no one answered.
