Chapter 516 Conspiracy (9) Split Up

The next day, Hannah opened her eyes at the crack of dawn.

She had insomnia the whole night, with her head stuffed with Oscar's look and many messes, and she couldn't sleep anymore at six in the morning.

Hannah leaned against the headboard but did not intend to get up, fearing to disturb Theodore and Jimmy's sleep.

It would be a hard day, so she wanted them to rest enough and get themselves ready for the challenges.

She picked up her cell phone and checked the news habitually.

Since Oscar was taken away, news about him continued to make the headlines. Currently, the news was objective, without any defamation, but this did not help with his reputation, which was already seriously tarnished ever since the matter happened.

The more Hannah read, the more displeased she was.

Just as she was about to quit the APP, a piece of news popped up: Charles Sawyer and Sarah Collins presented in a maternity hospital, seeming to have a pregnancy. The couple is said to get married this month.

Hannah found it unconvincing. The Collins family should have dumped Charles, so how could he still be with Sarah?

With her teeth clenched, Hannah clicked the news.

In the news, the paparazzi caught Charles and Sarah in masks entering the best private maternity hospital in the Capital, with dozens of guards around them, and the video seemed to be shot illicitly. Hannah knew the paparazzi were a part of Charles's plan, or he could not have made that flaunting phone call last night.

Hannah held her phone tightly, a bit annoyed.

She should not have underestimated Charles' pattern with women.

This guy always used tricks to compensate for his incompetence.

How could Sarah, who had been staying in the irony tower, resist his tantalization?

Having estimated his current situation, Charles must have planned his next step. Making Sarah pregnant and publicizing this affair was the best way for his self-preservation and upward mobility. Charles was such a tricky bastard, and he had calculated all of these: if he and Sarah were cohabitants, the Collins family could easily separate them, as their breaking up was nothing but a subject of gossip, which would be talked about for a period and put behind soon; while if they had a pregnancy and were forced to separate, in conservative Northfield, the whole nation would protest it, even the Collins family couldn't afford it.

Hannah didn't expect Charles should be bold enough to trick the Collins, as they would do him a favour in his development if he took every step steadily, but once he made any mistake, they would surely kill him.

Hannah clenched her teeth. Charles was such a guy who always made desperate attempts.

So would the rescue of Oscar be more tricky than she had thought?

She even doubted if dealing with Oscar was Charles' last chance given by the Collins.

Hannah tried to calm herself down.

She knew she couldn't mess up because of the dire situation.

...

At eight in the morning, Hannah went downstairs, surprised to replace Theodore and Jimmy in the living room. She thought Theodore would have slept longer as they could take their time this day. It appeared that Theodore didn't sleep well for the same reason as her.

"Oh, you wake up." Said Theodore naturally.

Hannah nodded slightly.

"Come to breakfast, Hannah." He said. Hannah sat by the table with them.

While having breakfast, Theodore said, "Did you see the news?"

"Yeah."

"Charles is so disgusting," Theodore always seemed dismissive to him.

Though Charles' recent behaviours were disappointing, he used to be an able man in front of the public, and everyone spoke highly of him then. It was weird that Theodore and Oscar were always sniffy about this guy.

Did they know his true face a long time ago?

She didn't ask because it didn't seem important at this time. All she cared about was only Oscar. So she just sidetracked.

"After breakfast, we split up. Theodore, you sneak into the City Hall, wait for the right moment, and then send a message to me; Jimmy and I creep into Oscar's home looking for clues."

"All right," Theodore said, "I have asked some people to protect you in secret, and they can partly keep you safe. So go ahead!"

"I will." Hannah nodded.

After breakfast, they left the secret room of the nightclub separately. Hannah sat inside the car with Jimmy, looking at the strange city through the window heavily.

Jimmy hardly talked. He became solemn after Oscar's being held. So it was almost silent all the way.

Jimmy parked the car in the neighbourhood of Oscar's flat and waited for Theodore's signal.

At around eleven am, Theodore called Hannah, "It's the time."

"Got it." Then Hannah told Jimmy, "Let's go." Jimmy drove towards the residential area.

Theodore was more reliable than Hannah had thought. She had no idea how much clout Theodore had, but he was a scrupulous man, for he could manage to buy a car from Oscar's residential area in just a night's time.

Thereby, they could drive straight into the underground garage without getting off the car and take the elevator there to Oscar's flat.

After alighting, Hannah began to look for the surveillance cameras. She was a bit nervous, and so was Jimmy, telling from his stiff face.

There was a camera inside the elevator, but their opponents could not be stupid enough to take the elevator with the conspicuous 50 million cash. But what if they took the escape stairs?

The elevator arrived. Getting out of the elevator, Hannah went to the stairs and found there was no camera there, so she could almost conclude that they had moved the cash through the stairs. They got to the door of the flat.

Hannah tore off the seals, entered the password, and went in.

"Jimmy, could you stand guard outside?" Hannah asked.

Jimmy looked at her, seeming to be a bit puzzled.

"Once dangerous, you could cover me." She explained.

Jimmy nodded. His task was to keep her safe.

Hannah entered the flat.

Her heart was aching to see this familiar place where they had spent a happy and passionate time covered with dust now. Holding back all her feelings, she began to rummage through the flat little by little. The more she searched, the more down she was.

The cleanliness was beyond her expectation, and everything she thought might be suspiciously disappeared.

Did she underestimate their opponents?
