Chapter 578 Martina'S Pathetic Ending

Chapter 578 Martina's Pathetic Ending

Hannah sat on the toilet with a red face. Her heart was just pounding away.

Hannah murmured to curse Oscar.

Fortunately, she had the habit of going to the toilet with her phone. That would help to calm herself

down.

By chance, a piece of news caught her eyes.

It read, "Martina Sawyer's body floated on X Beach, salvaged by the local fishermen."

In no time, she clicked the title to read the news content and saw several pictures. She could recognize

the swollen dead woman was Martina, even though the body had been blurred.

Martina died last night.

How did she die?

When Hannah sent Manuel to save Sarah, she thought that Manuel would spare Martina.

She hated Martina badly. But she would respect Manuel's choice if he wanted Martina alive. After all,

Martina loved him so much. Manuel might not have the stomach to kill her.

So, she didn't get to the bottom of it when Charles and Loretta were under arrest but Martina just

disappeared.

Martina's death was beyond her expectation. She had died even before Charles and Loretta were

sentenced.

What had happened?

Did the Collins family find her and finish her first?

With a thought, Hannah decided to call Manuel.

Manuel was getting dressed. It was Tia who was helping him since he was seriously injured.

Tia, the servant, had stayed there for him last night.

Manuel's back was wrapped with gauze.

With her hands moving slowly, Tia was afraid to touch his wounds. She could still remember how

terrible Manuel's wounds were.

She couldn't help to say, "Mr Johnson, maybe you should ask for a day off today. It's inevitable to rub

the wounds when you put on the shirt. What if they open up again?"

"I'm fine. No biggie." Manuel said. By then, he had put on the shirt and buttoned the shirt by himself.

Tia didn't think that a man like Manuel, who was well provided for, needed to work so hard.

He had been super rich without his salaries from Phillips Bank. Why must he be so mean to himself?

At the thought of it, she wanted to convince him again, but Manuel's phone rang suddenly.

"Hello, Hannah." Answered Manuel.

"Hi, Manuel. Did you read the news?"

"About what?"

"Martina is dead." Hannah said straightly, "The local fishermen found her body on the seashore of X NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Sea."

"I see," Manuel said.

"Aren't you surprised?" Hannah frowned, but she was enlightened the next second, "You knew it

already?"

"Yeah."

"Did you get something to do with Martina's death?"

Manuel didn't keep it from Hannah and told her what had happened last night.

"So, Martina committed suicide, for you." Hannah concluded.

Manuel didn't deny it.

"She thought Susan would be dead, too, but it turned out that you've saved Susan." Hannah went on

speaking, wondering whether it would drive Martina crazy if she knew Susan was still alive.

Surely, Hannah had no chance to witness her anger at that moment. But it was a piece of exciting news

for her. Manuel would take pity on Martina's death, but she wouldn't, considering all those terrible

things that Martina had done to her in her previous life.

"How are you?" Hannah asked.

"I'm OK."

"Are you sure you're not gonna tell Susan?"

"Mm-mm."

"Maybe Susan would be moved if she knew the truth." Hannah reminded.

"I don't need that, and I don't want her to be moved." Manuel said decisively, "I've never thought of

getting back together with her since I decided to let her go. I hope you can keep the secret."

"Really? Are you so disappointed with Susan?" Hannah sighed.

Manuel gave up the chance as a bargaining chip in exchange for Susan's love so easily, which

surprised Hannah.

"I've tried once. I don't want to try it again or make it a burden to both of us. Martina's love for me gave

me a better understanding of my love for Susan."

"But I always believe Susan loves you. In the previous life..."

"Hannah," Manuel interrupted her.

Hannah pursed her lips. She still wanted to fix them up from time to time though she knew Manuel had

gotten over it.

Hannah heaved a sigh, "OK. I'll stop. After all, love is between two people only."

"Hmm." Manuel changed the topic, "How's Oscar today?"

"Um..." Hannah thought of it and answered, "well, in HIGH spirits."

Manuel smiled lightly and thought Hannah's words meant something else.

"Good. Take good care of him. Bye."

"Take care of yourself." Hannah reminded.

Frowning, Manuel put down the phone.

The pain in his back was almost too great to endure. But he tried to put on his suit jacket.

With the car key in his hand, he was about to leave.

"Tia,"

"Yes, Mr Johnson." Tia stayed behind him and answered instantly. She couldn't help shivering with fear

when she saw his back.

"Can you drive?"

"I got the driving licence only a couple of days ago," Tia answered.

There was a lot of free time left since she just needed to cook for Manuel here. And she was well paid,

thinking that she could save a little more money to pay the down payment of a new car. Thus, she took

the driving test and got a licence.

"Drive me to the office."

"But I haven't hit the road yet." Tia was a little scared.

"You can seize the chance to practice."

Tia was at a loss for words but she couldn't say no.

Then she left with Manuel and drove him to the office.

The car was running very slowly on the driveway but Manuel didn't rush her. Tia was so nervous that

she sweated like hell. Finally, she made it to the gate of the Phillips Bank Building.

Tia parked the car.

"Drive the car back home. Come pick me up after work. I'll tell you if I work overtime."

"OK." Tia nodded.

"Steady. Just follow the traffic rules."

"OK."

"Remember to turn the lights on when you turn." Manuel bent down to point at the button. Tia was

listening carefully.

Manuel pointed out the problems one by one for her, and then he opened the door and got off.

The moment he went out of the car, he saw Susan standing there and looking at them. Manuel closed

the door and said, "Be safe."

"OK."

After that, Manuel went into the building.

Susan stared at his back without a blink.

It'd been at least ten minutes since Tia parked the car till Manuel got off. Susan had no idea what they

had been talking about like a sweet couple.

What on earth did she care about?
