Hannah stared at Charles frostily.
This guy could do anything to achieve his aim, and the despicable measures he used every time skirted around the limits of her endurance.
Hannah bit her lips and wished to kill Charles right there.
How many more unwarranted charges was he going to force on Oscar?
She just couldn't bear to see Oscar being defamed by scum like him.
Charles stared at Hannah ironically. She didn't freak out, but she got pissed with her eyes turning blood red with anger, and she was trembling all over after trying pretty hard to hold back the anger.
Looking at her, Charles thought he hadn't felt so good in a long time.
He couldn't help to be tickled pink whenever he recalled how Hannah had swaggered around in front of him and how badly she had embarrassed and insulted him.
Well, it was far from being enough. It was only the beginning.
He was going to destroy Oscar first. Then it would be Hannah's turn.
After that, he would work with the Collins family and knock out the other strong powers in Kensbury City one by one.
In the end, his life would peak at its best, by which everyone would have to suck up to him.
Charles laughed wildly again. Probably, it had been quite a while since things went so well for him the last time. And he even couldn't hide his excitement.
"Hannah, I feel sorry for you." He said.
Hannah was always vigilant in front of Charles and she knew he was approaching her.
All at once, Charles came up close to her face.
Seeing that, Jimmy was about to blow his top. Hannah raised her arm to stop him, while Jimmy was staring at Charles with a straight face.
Charles noticed that and smiled evilly.
Suddenly, he reached out his hand to hold Hannah's chin up. He was insulting Hannah.
Jimmy couldn't stand it any more.
"Jimmy! Stop!" Hannah stopped him.
Jimmy held back the anger, with veins bursting out of his skin. Oscar had told him repeatedly that he must keep Hannah safe. And he could do nothing to make it up if anything happened to Hannah.
Charles smiled sarcastically when he saw how hard Hannah tried to tolerate him, "Oh? Are you not gonna tell him to kick my ass?"
Hannah stared into his eyes and said, "Let go of me!"
"What if I don't? what are you gonna do with me?" Charles laughed and said.
Hannah snorted, "You can't do anything to me even if you don't let go."
Charles looked a little gloomy and wondered why Hannah could be so calm till now.
"Do you have the balls to touch me now?" Hannah continued, "You're marrying Sarah very soon. Dare you do anything to me?" Hannah went straight to the point and saw him through.
Charles held back the anger, and let go of her the next second.
Indeed, he didn't dare to touch her now.
He just wanted to piss Jimmy off by insulting Hannah. If Jimmy dared beat him up in public, he would be held in custody reasonably.
Right now, he had to weaken Hannah and isolate her little by little.
Theodore had been held first. And Jimmy and everyone else who was on her side would be the same as him.
It was a good plan, but Hannah had seen it through.
She was wondering if everything she had done in this life was all in vain and if she could change nothing.
And, she gambled Oscar's life.
Tears ran down unconsciously.
For a long time, she thought she had forgotten how to cry and she wouldn't allow herself to act like a crybaby.
She cowered in the corner for hours.
She didn't read any of the news. She had no idea how the outside world was judging Oscar or how bad it was at the time. She simply locked herself in the room, alone, and refused to talk to anyone.
Jimmy and Max had been waiting at the door of her room.
They had knocked at the door but Hannah just told them to leave her alone. Then, they kept waiting there with anxiety.
They had waited there from 4 pm till the next morning.
Max was afraid that she would do something stupid, so he reached out his arm to knock at the door.
But the door was opened while he was lifting his arm.
Hannah showed up with a peaceful face.
All at once, the desperate lady was gone. Again, she was calm and cool as usual.
"Sorry. I know you've been worried about me."
"Mrs Wells." Max looked at her and looked distressed.
He had been serving Oscar for many years. The Wells Family did care about Oscar, but he had little contact with them and couldn't feel much of the love and care for Oscar from this family. But now, he saw everything Hannah did for Oscar. Whatever she did was out of love.
He thought Oscar must love Hannah for a lifetime and mustn't let her down in any case.
