Chapter 759 We Are In No Hurry (2/2)

th a triumphant smile, rather like a duck in the water.

Moore was right. He hadn't changed at all, and was still as frivolous as before. The Edna incident hadn't affected him.

Jean was astonished. She didn't know Hanley could be so optimistic.

How could he act like nothing happened even after everything that had happened at home; his own home, about which, he had always warned Moore about. His biological parents had split up and were most probably going to divorce, but he didn't care! What was the matter with him?

Jean took back her gaze and shook her head in puzzlement.

”Let it go,” Zed suddenly said. ”At least it shows that Hanley is a person with some common sense. If he had left with Edna, he would have cut off all ties with his family. Even though Edna took away all the money, she couldn't take away family affection which, I think, Hanley cares about more. From this point of view, I think we've all underestimated him. Moore, you should watch out.”

Zed warned him, because he didn't want his friend to be fooled.

Jean couldn't help laughing at him. ”Aren't you a little bit too scrupulous? The family is going broke. Do you think Hanley has stayed back to covet the old house? I disagree. Indeed, the house is valuable, but it's nothing compared with the treasure that Edna took. Hanley would choose to leave with his mother if he really cared about the money. Don't you think so?”

Moore couldn't agree more with the idea and he expressed his agreement, ”I totally agree with Jean.”

Avery also nodded when she heard Jean.

Zed was outvoted now but he still couldn't understand why everyone was agreeing to trust Hanley. There was no way on Earth that he would trust Hanley. Why was everyone else?
