Chapter 517 Conspiracy (10) Plotted

Hannah stayed in Oscar's flat the whole afternoon but didn't replace anything. She opened the door and went out. Jimmy was waiting for her at the door.

Seeing her undisguised frustration, he asked, "No replaceings?"

"No," Hannah shook her head.

Jimmy didn't say a word. He usually just got the result but did not probe into anything.

"No one came?" Hannah asked.

"No."

Hannah frowned, "OK, let's leave here."

"All right."

No sooner did they press the elevator button than the elevator door opened. An elder went out.

He glanced at Hannah and Jimmy, replaceing them not acquaintances, and passed by them.

Jimmy went straight inside the elevator, but Hannah stopped. She turned her head around and saw the old man walk toward the door diagonally opposite Oscar's at a slow pace, open the door, and go inside. "Mrs Wells?" Jimmy urged Hannah, but she still stood there as if she did not hear a 'ding' sound from the elevator.

Seconds later, Hannah came to herself and went inside the elevator at once.

They drove away from Oscar's apartment.

Inside the car, it was silent again. Hannah had been lost in thought, with her mind racing. She didn't recover when the vehicle arrived at the nightclub.

"Mrs Wells?" Jimmy had to mention her once again.

Hannah returned her mind, pursed her lips, and descended the car. She and Jimmy went into the secret room.

One of the leaders of the nightclub followed them in and said to Hannah respectfully, "We just received the news that Mr Wold has been held for illegally entering the City Hall. He let me tell you, don't worry about him, and he'll be fine."

Somehow, Hannah was sorry and a little suspicious of things that had happened, even though it had been expected.

After reporting it, the man went away. There were only Hannah and Jimmy in the room again.

Jimmy stood aside quietly for fear of disturbing Hannah's consideration.

Hannah was such a mess inside.

Before she figured out everything, her phone rang. Seeing it was Charles' calling, Hannah hung up at once. She didn't want to hear this guy's voice, or she couldn't hold back her anger. A message popped up on the screen.

"Just send you my wedding invitation. Come on, don't be so rude."

Hannah looked at it coldly. She could feel Charles' elation from the words.

"The 28th of this month, eight days later, at Kensbury Willis Hotel, welcome to the wedding of Sarah and me." Another message popped up.

Hannah tried to defuse her anger. The messages from Charles had driven her furious today-she was not jealous of his getting married but his provocation became the last straw for Hannah. Hannah clenched her teeth and called him up.

"I thought you didn't want to talk to me on the phone, so what changed your mind? Jealousy of my marriage?"

"Charles, do you believe I will record every word you say and play it to Sarah?"

Her threatening worked.

Charles' face turned livid, "You are a snake!"

"You are clear who the snake is." Said Hannah with a sneer.

"Oh," Charles smiled sarcastically, "In this situation, I couldn't believe you still put me down. Raise my hat to you. Did you mean to be silly at that time?"

She wished she did.

She hoped all the humiliation from him was just her pretence.

"Forget it. Doesn't matter to me anymore." Charles suddenly became generous, "I take you as my defeated opponent all the same. Get real! You are no match for me!"

Hannah didn't respond. She didn't want to waste her breath talking to him.

"By the way, I heard Theodore was held as well."

Hannah's face darkened with hostility.

"I don't understand why the 'Master Theodore' of the Wold family always hangs around you and Oscar. Now he could only hang around the jail for about ten or twenty days or whatever. Do you think such a pampered guy could get used to the living standard there?"

"Aren't you done?" Hannah said grimly.

"Hannah, it was for your good. You'd better not have a hand in Oscar's affairs. Otherwise, it is Theodore this time; it might be you next time." He burst into wild laughter and added, "Now the tables have turned. When you plotted me then, did you expect to be plotted by me one day?"

"So you want to tell me you plotted Oscar's bribery affair?"

"What nonsense!" Charles denied furiously. Though complacent, he kept cautious.

Hannah knew it was impossible to get any useful information from him. What she wanted was to shut him up. And the best way to achieve this was to make him afraid.

"I just want to tell you, be careful!" he hung up abruptly. It seemed that he would never call Hannah to flaunt again for fear of Hannah getting any information from him.

Hannah put down her cell phone, looking wrong.

Jimmy couldn't help asking, "Are we facing troubles?"

"Yeah," Hannah didn't conceal, "I doubt we fell for their tricks!"

"What do you mean?"

"After we landed, we headed straight for Oscar's flat, but the police asked us to leave. This gave us a fake signal that there must be something fishy in the flat, and we would manage to go inside. Today we did so, and everything looked fine. But that's the point. Although Theodore attracted their attention, there shouldn't be nobody in the flat, especially since I went inside for a long time."

Jimmy was a simple man. He couldn't pick out what Hannah meant as she didn't speak frankly.

"This proved that they meant to lead us there. They knew we would try to distract them from going into Oscar's flat, and we would create a diversion. They predicted it. They knew we would send someone to harass the City Hall, which they would like us to do so they could catch the troublemakers." Hannah continued.

Hannah's face turned colder as she was saying. She was thinking about this in the car on the way back.

Charles's complacency during the phone call proved this, though he didn't admit it literally.
