Chapter 524 Conspiracy (17) Set up the Game

"I'm fine," Hannah said lightly.

"Jimmy said you've locked yourself up in the room for the whole night," Manuel said anxiously.

"Jeez! It wasn't true. I've just had dinner. I was down, but I've managed to pull myself together." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"Oscar will never rape a woman," Manuel uttered the words one by one.

"I know," Hannah said with a smile.

She knew Oscar wouldn't do something like that. Somehow, she was pretty sure of it.

Moreover, he came back home in the middle of the night that day, and he didn't look like he had just

had sex. Anyway, she could tell that.

"When can Theodore come out?" Hannah changed the topic and asked.

"Laird is pulling some strings now. Probably, he'll be released in a couple of days."

"I believe Theodore might have got the evidence that Oscar didn't rape Mary. I saw Mary get in a luxury

car the other day and I've told Theodore to keep an eye on it. But I didn't follow up since lots have

happened. Probably, Theodore didn't pay much attention to it, either. That's why he didn't get back to

me."

"I'll tell Laird about it and tell him to try harder to get Theodore out."

"OK." Hannah nodded.

"It's late. You should go to bed now." Manuel said, "Everything will be fine."

"OK, bye."Hannah believed it firmly.

She hung up the phone and sat alone on the balcony.

Without a doubt, she wasn't in the mood of sleeping.

Then she called Susan, and the latter answered the phone instantly as Manuel did. But Susan was

very loud and anxious.

"Hannah, why didn't you answer my phone? I'm going bananas!" Susan roared.

It meant Susan would stay up all night if Hannah didn't call her back.

"I'm fine. Don't worry." Said Hannah.

"Really? Mary is dead!" Susan said emotionally.

"Hmm. I read the news."

"It's said that Oscar raped and killed her." Susan added, "But I didn't believe the shit."

"You don't think Oscar did it?" Hannah blinked her eyes and asked.

"Hell no!" Susan said firmly, "I don't know Oscar inside out, but I do know he's picky and classy. How

was it possible that he had a crush on Mary and even raped her? Mary liked Oscar so much that she

couldn't take her eyes off him, and she just couldn't wait to throw herself on him. Was it necessary for

Oscar to rape her then? I bet Oscar must have turned a cold shoulder to her and she just made him

sick."

Hannah swallowed a little and had to admit Susan had gone to the point of the matter though she put it

roughly.

"I called and tried to tell you that Oscar would never do something like that. Don't be stupid!" Susan

said in a soft tone suddenly.

"OK." Hannah said.

"Hannah." Susan was sentimental all at once.

"Yeah?"

"Why didn't you meet a nice guy?" Susan said slowly, "You're perfect."

"Oscar is not bad," Hannah said straightforwardly.

"Yep, he's not bad, and he loves you. But I didn't mean he wasn't a nice guy. I meant why you didn't

have a happy marriage. You were happy with Oscar at first, but now he's haunted by so many

scandals, and even arrested. I've inquired about it. If he was found guilty, he would be in jail for no less

than ten years." Susan said and felt worse, "Gosh. It's unfair. How could these shits happen to you?"

Susan was right.

Why didn't God let her live a normal and peaceful life?

Her life was full of ups and downs, and she was afraid that she would freak out someday.

"But, I believe those charges are false. It's misunderstanding only." Susan added, "What the hell was

that? They charged him with taking bribes at first, then rape and murder. Oscar will never do anything

like that. So, chill out. Oscar is innocent. The law is fair. The truth will be found out and justice will never

be absent."

Susan was too simple-minded, and she had always believed everything was fair and equal in the world.

And she thought justice was always there.

Hannah didn't want to tell her too much, thinking it wasn't a bad thing for Susan to live a simple life.

"Yup. So, I'm fine." Hannah said, "It's getting too late. I must go to bed. Good night."

"OK." Susan reminded her before she hung up, "But do answer my phone next time."

Hannah put down the phone, feeling the cold breeze on the balcony.

Winter in Kensbury City was getting colder and colder.

...

In the next coming days, Hannah stayed in and slept until she woke up naturally.

She couldn't do much since things were unclear at the moment.

She had to wait until Theodore came back.

Laird went to River Town personally but failed to get Theodore out immediately. He was still working on

it.

And, Hannah didn't push them as well, because she knew the Wold family might be more anxious.

Hannah was eating the breakfast prepared by Max, and going through the news on her phone.

Most of the news was about Oscar's case.

At first, the media gave some objective comments on the case of corruption.

But as soon as the news of the rape and murder came out, the official news websites began taking

sides and judging Oscar's character.

So, Oscar had become the target of public criticism overnight.

Hannah read it and remained calm.

At first, she was upset and mad to read that. But, she had been used to it as she read more and more

of it.

After all, people had the right to speak.

When Hannah was about to turn off the phone, a piece of news popped out, "Charles Sawyer and

Sarah Collins are getting married. Take a look at the romantic wedding photos first!"

Hannah clicked it open and saw many nice wedding pictures.

They looked a perfect match after they had the pictures retouched.

Somehow, Hannah remembered that she and Oscar hadn't taken any wedding pictures yet, which was

a pity.

She went down and read the news content and got to know that Charles and Sarah were getting

married one week later.

What had Charles done to make Sarah decide to marry him within such a short time?

Hannah was suddenly enlightened and could be sure that Sarah was pregnant. Otherwise, the Collins

family wouldn't have agreed on their marriage so hastily before things were finally settled.

Hannah despised Charles, wondering if he could have been more shameless.

Then she called him.

Charles kept Hannah waiting for quite a while and finally picked up the phone, saying in an extremely

ironic tone, "Oh, look who's calling! Hannah Wells, what a surprise!"
