After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 541 The Trial (1) Calumniated

Chapter 541 The Trial (1) Calumniated

This was an efficient workday for Hannah.

She even lost count of how many days she had been absent from her office since Oscar was arrested.

She made a stretch to release her tired body and was going to leave.

Miguel pushed the door opened and entered.

At the sight of him, Hannah called, "Dad."

"Why do you show up suddenly?" Miguel asked amiably as he went to her, "I have allotted most of your

business to Tan, so you can focus on Oscar's case."

Hannah drew up a smile and asked, "Dad, don't you have any doubt about Oscar? Are you sure you

can give me full support to get Oscar out of the mud? Don't you afraid that Cooper might get embroiled

in trouble after Oscar is found guilty?"

"I trust Oscar," Miguel said surely, "moreover, I believe my daughter's judge which is always right."

He would support every decision she made.

Hannah was touched by her father. She knew her family would always be there to back her up.

She could not control herself but run into Miguel's arms and said, "Thank you, dad."

She put herself on the opposite side of the Collins when she decided to help Oscar out.

And her father's unconditional support spoiled her.

After all, any mistake might be devastating and fatal.

"My little stupid girl," Miguel said.

As a generous father, he never said no to his daughter.

"How is grandma?" Hannah raised her head and asked. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Mary's death might somehow give Lorie a blow.

Putting aside her unsatisfactory with Mary, Lorie would not have felt guilty for her last oral abuse if Mary

was still alive. But now Mary was dead, which brought Lorie endless guilt and pity. As Hannah heard,

Lorie burst into tears for her small granddaughter's poor fate and failed to release herself from sorrow.

"Your grandma hasn't moved on yet, given her old age. We have nothing to help. But I am planning a

journey for her, along with your mother and me, after the chaos is over. And let time cure the wounds."

"Great," Hanna said, unwilling to penetrate the topic.

Lorie was not a generous grandmother.

Hannah might have included her in the name list for revenge if she could ignore her father.

They shifted the topic and chatted until Hannah's phone rang.

Miguel knew this must be a busy time for Hannah so he left after some warm suggestions.

Then Hannah answered the call from Theodore, "Hi, Theodore, any news?"

"Sarah Collins is confirmed as pregnant," Theodore said straight.

When they were back from the capital, they had made a clear task assignment. As soon as they

returned to Kensbury, they started to carry out the plan respectively.

To make a fatal blow to Charles's marriage, they must start from the source.

Hannah looked sombre at hearing Theodore's news.

Charles's plan was admirably perfect. He prepared himself with a strong shield when he was sure there

might be a day he would lose everything.

"OK, get it," Hannah responded, "I need you to keep an eye on Sarah Collins. And let me try to have a

private meeting with her."

"No problem," Theodore said, "and according to my father's private source, Oscar's trial will begin on

next Monday, if everything goes right. That means we have 4 days left. And you will soon be notified by

the court."

"Just do as our plan," Hannah said, "it's impossible for an end in the first trial to such important cases

like Oscar's. Our goal at the first trial is to get Charles embroiled."

"I see," Theodore responded.

They hang up the phone without any nonsense to make.

The call curdled Hannah's desire to move out from her task chair.

Next Monday was on the way.

And she would meet Oscar again.

Was he all right now?

What it was like when they met in jail last time reemerged in her mind, haunting her.

She bit her lips to seize the pain creeping into her heart.

Suddenly her phone rang again.

She answered, "Hello."

"Well, I heard that you paid a sudden visit to your office today, so I am calling to send my regards as an

old friend. So are you going to give up? To give up your plan to save Oscar? And to stop your

conspiracy against me? Why do you just give up so easily before your husband goes to court? Oh, it

seems that you are not that in love with that poor guy." Charles provoked with contempt.

To tangle with Charles was the least she wanted.

However, this was a must-have for the time being. She had to make a show to deceive him. She said,

"Thanks for your concern. However, that's my own business. May I translate your call into that you are

still loving me?"

"Come on! Can you be more disgusting than that?" Charles mocked, "Sarah is much better than you in

every aspect. How can I have any interest in you?"

"If so, how cannot you just let go of me?"

"Are you kidding me? I cannot let go of you. Are you serious?"

"Otherwise, why do you call me time and time again? Just to tease me?"

"Whenever I reflect on your suffering, my nerves get excited."

"Well, I didn't know you have such disgusting excitement," Hannah said ironically.

"But I have to say, it's smart to give up Oscar," Charles said, careless about Hannah's sarcasm. He

enjoyed seeing her suffering. And he continued, "Don't fight the tape. Oscar has no way out this time.

The earlier you give up, the safer the Cooper is."

Hannah clenched her phone.

This was the reason for Charles's call.

He just wanted to make sure she finally give up Oscar.

Hannah hung up the call decisively.

The silence was the best way to fight back.

And the more she said, the more possible Charles got suspicious.

She had to behave as if she gave up Oscar, to mislead him and everybody else that she had

abandoned Oscar.

…

The Monday came.

Oscar's case mounted to the headline of the morning news in Kensbury City.

This was the day he went to court.

As a celebrity, his news must be in the spotlight.

It was 10 am.

When Hannah, Theodore and Jimmy reached the court, they found a wall of many reporters lying in

front.

As soon as they got off the car, they were besieged.

"Mrs Wells, may I have you comment on the case accusing Oscar's corruption and rape?"

"As rich as the Wells, why did Oscar Wells make a 50 million corruption?"

"Do you have any comment on the case that Oscar raped your sister and forced her to drown herself?"

"Did you just pretend to be a sweet couple in public before? And is yours a marriage of convenience?"

"Oscar Wells was a well-known playboy, and he lost his last sense of morality after marriage. Do you

feel sick for him?"

The questions from the reporters thronged to her, and one sounding more spiteful than the previous.

Listening to the question one after one, Hannah grew pale sharply.

She became aware of the fact that she did care.

She felt unbearable for Oscar was defamed so dreadfully.
