After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire -
Chapter 386 Another Trap
"You are quite smart in some ways." The man praised him, "But you have to figure out that once Wayne was convicted, could you use that plan? According to the law of Northfield, they can withdraw their plan
and forbid you from using it."
Charles gritted his teeth. It all happened so fast and he didn't think that far.
"Anyway, make a plan." The man said coldly, "The reason why I didn't abandon you is that your family still has a big estate. If your family came down, I would not continue to value you."
"I'll fix it."
"Charles, just don't let me down."
And the man hung up.
Charles stopped the car and parked it on the side of the road.
He called his father.
"Dad."
"Charles, where have you been? I can't hold them back any longer." Lee said worriedly, "The people of the inspection department have come to take Sandra in for investigation. If you don't come here now, she will be gone."
"Let them take her." Charles said bluntly.
"I thought you said you wanted to meet her alone? Why the sudden change? Don't you worry about..."
"Dad, to get promoted, she illegally colluded with Wayne to steal Cooper's marketing plan, which does not deserve our sympathy. She should be brought to justice and that is her business. We should not interfere." Charles said seriously.
Lee immediately understood what he meant.
He said, "Well, I'll let it go."
Charles nodded, "I will not be there. I have a lot of work to do in my office. As for the construction of South Bay New Town, I will talk to the person in charge of the bureau alone. I will let you know the result by then."
"Okay." Lee fully trusted his son.
Charles hung up the phone and slammed on the brakes and turned straight back. All that mattered now was how to get the South Bay New Town project off the ground. He put his foot on the gas and drove wildly down the street.
He was totally freaking out.
Hannah received a phone call from Theodore.
"Charles was heading to his company but he turned back in the way." Said he.
Hannah suddenly got interested.
"They have successfully arrested Sandra. It seems Charles is not going to kill her." Theodore added.
Hannah was a little surprised.
Was Charles confident enough in himself or did he suddenly become smart?
When Theodore told her before that Charles was heading to the Sawyer Group, she knew he was going to do something. But why did he suddenly change his mind? Was it because he was reminded by someone? People like Charles, especially in an emergency, could never be that thoughtful.
So, the man behind him, who the hell was that?
"What now? Do we still need to follow him?" Theodore asked.
"No." Said Hannah.
Since Sandra was arrested, he could not hurt her in front of so many people. Apparently, he didn't intend to kill her. There was no point in following him anymore.
"I guess this time he was lucky." Theodore sighed.
He thought he could get rid of him this time. Sure enough, Oscar said it wouldn't be so simple, and it wasn't.
"It doesn't matter. We still have time." Hannah continued, "Not to mention that I will let him know he was shooting himself in the foot."
"What are you going to do?"
"You'll know."
"Seriously?"
"I just don't want to give you false hope, so I'm not telling you yet."
So Theodore chose to pass over. He said bluntly, "Then I'm going to wrap up."
"You've had a long day. Take a good rest, thank you."
"Never mind." Then he hung up the phone.
Hannah was quiet for a moment. She took a deep breath and called Rose, "Rose, come in for a second."
"Yes."
Rose knocked on the door and entered.
"Ms Hannah, what can I do for you?"
Frankly, when she looked at Hannah, she felt she was shining, looking like a deity whom Rose could only look up to.
Hannah said, "Contact the bureau. We're going there to talk about the South Bay New Town project."
"Okay." Rose nodded.
"We're going now." She added.
"Now? Isn't that a little hasty?" Rose asked.
"No, we need to be there now." Hannah said firmly.
"Is there anything you need me to prepare?"
"No." Hannah stretched herself and said, "We just need to show up and talk to them."
"I see." Rose nodded. She was strangely excited because she thought Hannah was going to get their project back on her own.
Rose quickly contacted them and reported to Hannah, "The head of the bureau happens to be in the office. We can go anytime today." "Then let's go now."
Then Hannah left the company with Rose. Jimmy sent them to their destination.
When they arrived, Hannah walked into the office and saw Charles. He got here sooner than she thought. Rose saw Charles and her face went dark since she didn't think they would negotiate about the project before this man.
But then, she saw Hannah smile. It seemed like she was expecting this.
Was this a part of her plan?
"Good to see you, Mr Gordon." Hannah said warmly and shook his hands.
Gordon was quite kind and asked her to sit. Hannah sat on the opposite side of him and next to Charles.
"I just received a call from you and you said you wanted to talk about the South Bay New Town project. Coincidentally, Charles was coming for this as well. I will not favor anybody so I decided we should talk about it together." Said Gordon.
"Of course." Hannah was very calm.
Charles took a look at Hannah. Feeling annoyed at the sight of her, he looked at Hannah with intense hatred. But he could only show a kind face, "You are still so understanding."
Hannah turned to look at him, wondering that he must be pissed off by now.
She said, "Anyway, South Bay New Town is also related to Sawyer Group. At first, I wanted to talk with Gordon alone, then Charles, since you thought it was better to talk together, I certainly love to accept this decision."
Charles' face changed slightly.
What did she mean?
He felt somehow what happened was all arranged by her.
What was she up to again?
