Chapter 510 Conspiracy (3) Urgent!

The call was quick and short.

After the dialogue with Theodore, Hannah was so anxious and uneasy that she could not go back to work as planned.

Presently, she asked for leave from her father and called Rose and Tan for some work assignments. After these were all done, she finally could focus on Oscar's business.

She sat in the lounge.

Max seemed a bit anxious too.

Karen walked downstairs and found Hannah at home. Maybe Hannah's tricks made Karen behave herself these days. Sometimes she intended to shun Hannah, staying in her room when Hannah was at home. So it was natural that she was annoyed by Hannah who would have been on the way to the office.

She asked, "Why are you here, other than going back to the office? Hasn't my brother left yet?"

Her tone sounded unpleasant.

She wondered why Hannah was still there while her brother had left.

Hannah squinted at her.

Max could not control but interrupted her, "Master Oscar was taken away by the Investigation Department for an accusation of corruption."

This was not the right time for Karen to piss off Hannah.

"What?"

With her face pale, Karen found it unbelievable, yet she knew Max was not kidding. She could smell the air of anxiety.

She said angrily, "Why did my brother do such a stupid thing? Corruption? He's rich. Does he need to corrupt more? Ridiculous!"

Hannah found less interest to make any response to Karen.

The fact that Oscar had been taken away kept challenging Hannah's strong nerves. She had no idea how much time was left for her to come up with a solution.

As everyone else could see, it was not a good idea to frame Oscar for corruption since he was rich. So Hannah thought there was something much bigger going on here. Thinking of this, Hannah got more sombre and worried.

Karen had never seen Hannah like that, so she realized that it would better shut her mouth.

She was sure that Hannah was the key to getting her brother out of trouble. Nervous, she dare not to be one of those added things on top of the problem to deal with.

'How could I stay well if Oscar were put in jail?' Karen thought as tears began to flood her eyes.

Though worrying about Oscar, Max did not neglect Karen who was anxious, and maybe starving for she had not taken breakfast. Max stood up from the sofa and said, "Miss Karen, I will serve you breakfast soon."

"No need. There goes my appetite."

"Feed yourself!" Hannah shouted at Karen, "Don't bring more trouble for us!"

Karen kept silent, other than retorting.

Staring at Hannah with a pair of timid eyes with chagrin, Karen could only constrain her anger.

Max came to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Hannah waited for Theodore at home.

In less than half an hour, Theodore rushed into the villa.

This was the most reliable friend, though his usual behaviour could not give a hint of his reliability. Whenever they were in trouble, Theodore was always the first to help.

A man followed him.

Hannah did not remember that man.

Theodore gave a pithy introduction quickly, saying, "This is Josh Aaron, the attorney in charge of Oscar's case. He was Oscar's instructor when Oscar was preparing for the test for a lawyer license. Though he spends more time in education, he is a remarkable barrister in practice."

Theodore's introduction aroused Hannah's interest.

This was a man about 40, with a pair of framed glasses, mature, prudent and humble.

"Nice to meet you, Mr Aaron," Hannah said.

"Nice to meet you too, Mrs Wells," Josh nodded, "Theodore gave some brief information on Oscar's case. I think they are well-prepared. And they must have abundant evidence to charge Oscar. So we might have little chance to win."

"I don't think so," Hannah objected, and of course, she was reluctant to accept Josh's prediction. She continued, "This is a frame-up. There must be some clues we can replace. I haven't seen any artificial plot that can be flawless."

"I agree." Theodore echoed.

"Of course, I agree too. But I would like to prepare you for a bleak future. And we don't have much time. I have called the Investigation Department for a visit. Let's go and see if we can ask for a pretrial release for Oscar."

"OK," Hannah said.

Soon they set off to the Investigation Department.

Max and Karen stood at the door and watched them leave.

Karen's eyes turned red. She asked while sobbing, "Everything goes fine, right?"

"I trust Mrs Wells for no reason. She must be capable to save Master Oscar." Max said in a deep voice.

Jimmy drove them there.

The car was silent until Hannah's phone rang.

She glanced at the call and answered, "Susan."

"Shit. Oscar was arrested, didn't he?" Susan said loudly.

"How did you know?" Hannah asked with a frown.

"From the news. Everyone knows that Oscar was in custody for corruption." Susan said at a high pitch, "What happen to him? Is he out of cash? 50 million should mean nothing to him. Did he need to corrupt it? Or he just took it for this was too little and he did not consider it as corruption?"

"..." Hannah was reluctant to make any explanation to Susan.

Oscar was not a fool.

"50 million is a small sum for Oscar but countless for ordinary people. Oscar was nothing but a fool." Susan scolded on the other end of the phone.

"You are the stupid one! The most stupid one I ever met!" Hannah retorted.

II Why are you so offensive to me?" Susan complained.

...

"If you have time, focus on your job and get yourself prepared! Don't give others a chance to set you up."

"Are you referring to Manuel?" Susan asked with a pale face.

"That's why I said you are an incurable fool."

"Hannah!"

"I gotta go."

"Fine," Susan yelled on the phone, "I am calling to comfort you, for this must be a hard time for you."

Hannah tightened her lips.

Of course, she knew what Susan called for.

That was her best friend. Though sometimes Susan pissed her off, she was a true friend who did care about Hannah.

"I'm fine, Susan."

"Are you sure? You love him so much, I can't believe you can feel at ease?" Susan added.

"I believe Oscar is innocent and I can save him."

"Do you need help?"

"Temporally not."

"I am always here whenever you need me."

"It would be my fortune if you don't bring me troubles."

"..." Susan was left speechless.

"I have to go. See you later."

Hannah hung up the phone before Susan continued. Then she checked the news for today on her cellphone.

The news that Oscar was arrested for the alleged corruption mounted to the headline and became a trending topic.

Hannah gnashed her teeth.

What Josh had said before resonated in her heart.

Given such a blatant attack, could she save Oscar in the end?
