After her hair turned dried, Oscar put down the hair dryer.
Hannah touched her hair while speaking. “Thanks.”
“Just thanks? You’re not gonna do something physical as return?” Oscar seemed a bit expectant.
“It’s you who suggested to help dry my hair. I didn’t ask for it.” Hannah simply replied.
Oscar looked a bit sulky. But Hannah simply ignored it.
Actually, Hannah noticed that his crush on her had gone beyond her control. Thus, she didn’t want to
fall for it.
As soon as she stood up, Oscar suddenly held her up into his arms.
“Oscar…”Hannah exclaimed out of surprise.
She didn’t expect him to be so strong.
He literally placed her onto the washstand table. Before she could react, he pinned her down to kiss
her.
“Oscar, you jerk!” she complained to herself.
Long after, Oscar finally let go of her, 7 don’t accept oral gratitude.”
“Hannah, do remember to be active next time.”
“Oh, by the way. Theodore said he’s gonna hand over the evidence to me later.”
“But you said he’s gonna give it to you when the court session begins, right?” asked Hannah.
“But you seem worried about that.”
Silent, Hannah could tell that Oscar truly concerned himself with whatever she said.
Actually, she was just simply suggesting. If the evidence appeared irrefutable, it would only take a few
articulate words to prove Miguel innocent.
“Alright, let’s get downstairs for dinner.” While speaking, Oscar took her hand to lead her out of the
bathroom.
With their fingers entwined with each other’s, she suddenly uttered, “Oscar, I feel like I may fall in love
with you someday.”
“You definitely will.”
What a cocky guy.
“My love for you is like a storm, inevitable.” His voice sounded plain and simple.
However, to Hannah, it felt like as strong as a kind of vow.
At this moment, she seemed to be convinced that Oscar truly fell in love with her.
Two days later, the court session began.
The news about the case had gone viral in the morning.

Both Oscar and Hannah had gone to the Cooper Manor in the early morning, waiting for Miguel to
present himself in the court.
As soon as they arrived at the grand gate of the court, a group of journalists were expecting them.
Jimmy struggled to push a way out for them among those journalists.
“Mr Cooper, we wanna know if the accusation against your bribery and tax evasion is true? Can you
make a comment about how you feel right
now?”
“Mr Cooper, your mother has been accusing you of your betrayal. She said you have falsified your
heirship. Do you have any comments about that?”
“Hannah Wells, what’s your opinion about the case against your father? How much percentage do you
think you can win the case?”
“Oscar Wells, as part of the official system, do you worry if your career would be negatively impacted
once your father-in-law is proven guilty?”

At this moment, they were surrounded by all kinds of questions and a huge crowd of journalists in their
way.
“Mr Cooper, does your silence signal a kind of acquiescence about the accusation?” one of the
journalists yelled out to question.
Sullen, Hanaah suddenly stopped.
Miguel grabbed her arm, “Don’t waste your time arguing with them.”
She held back her anger and then Oscar hinted at Jimmy
Soon, Jimmy exerted great strength to push a way through. Under his escort, they struggled to head
toward the court.
“The old Mrs Cooper is here!” one of the journalists suddenly exclaimed.
Then part of the journalists rushed over.
Some of them noticed that Miguel wouldn’t be likely to answer anything, so they followed over.
Soon, it got less crowded.
“Old Mrs Cooper, are you showing great concern about your son? Is that the reason why you come to
present yourself in the court?”
“No, if he did commit a crime, he should deserve punishment. I am here to expect a judgment of
justice. Only then can we erase the dishonor of the Coopers.” Lorie huffed seriously.
“So, Old Mrs Cooper, do you mean Miguel Cooper did commit a crime?”
“If not, why should the prosecutor start investigating him? There must be a cause. And I trust the official
prosecution system.”
“Is that true about your accusation against Miguel’s betrayal of his filial duty?”
“Are you suspecting that an old lady like me is gonna wrong him? If it weren’t for Roger staying by my
side during all these years, I would have ended up in loneliness!” Lorie looked irritated. Then she
continued, “Thanks god, I believe the unfilial one will be punished as he deserves it.”
“Roger Cooper, what’s your opinion about the case against your brother?” one of the journalists started
to ask Roger, who was holding Lorie steady by her side, a question.
1 feel sorry for him. After all, he’s my brother. However, since he committed a crime, I believe he
deserves to be punished.”

“I am not sure. After all, it belongs to my brother. Even if he ends up in the jail, it depends on him to
decide who’s gonna take over his position. But I will perform my own responsibility.” Roger pretended
to be generous.
“Roger, how generous you are!”
“As the big brother of the generation, that’s what I should do.” Roger replied in a decent manner, “when
my father passed away, Miguel inherited all the property from him. For all these years, I have never
questioned about the truth. From my perspective, I want nothing but a peaceful family.”
“Miguel Cooper should be grateful for having such a generous brother.” One of the journalists stated.
“After all, we are family.” Roger continued politely.
Compared with Miguel’s indifferent attitude, he appeared a lot more amicable, “Okay, everyone, it’s
time for us to attend the court.”
While speaking, he, together with Lorie, entered the court.
Both Wayne and Mary followed over, both looking genteel.
Hannah turned to watch them posturing. Her eyes turned cold.
Soon after they walked out of the court, the whole situation was gonna change.
“Hannah. Oscar and I will go this way.” As they entered the court, Miguel stopped.
Hannah looked at her father, and then she shifted her gaze to Oscar.
Oscar slightly nodded.
Seeing that, she somehow felt more confident.
Sometimes the mutual trust was built within a blink.
