Chapter 523 Conspiracy (16) She Couldn't Give in!

"I'm hungry." Hannah turned to Max and said in a peaceful voice, "Max, can you please make dinner for me?" "Sure. I'm on it." Max said instantly.

It was good that she felt hungry. He was worried that Hannah would never pull herself together again after that.

Hannah did have thought of giving up when she locked herself in the room. She was so negative that she thought she couldn't change a thing, and that she wasn't powerful enough to change God's will.

But she changed her mind the moment she thought of Oscar; she thought of the wonderful moments they had together; she thought of their happy marriage; and she thought of their future. Hannah didn't want to give up.

She had a bright future with Oscar and she couldn't let Charles ruin it.

Her efforts in this life wouldn't be meaningless, she deemed.

Thinking of this, Hannah struggled bit by bit in the darkness and rose from the ashes.

She took a shower and got changed, telling herself that she never give up till the last moment no matter what happened.

So, she opened the door and faced up to it again.

In the dining room, Max had made several nice dishes. Max and Jimmy also skipped dinner since they had been too worried about Hannah. At the time, the three of them were having their late dinner together. Nobody talked much at the table.

Hannah was eating and swiping her phone carelessly.

Since this afternoon, she had got more than 50 missed calls.

Susan was a short fuse and she called 20 times in a row.

Then, it was Manuel. After him, there came Oscar's parents, brothers and her parents.

And some of the missed calls were from the media or unknown numbers.

"Eat some more, Mrs Wells." Max noticed she was checking her phone and reminded her kindly.

Hannah put down the phone.

"I'm good." She said with a smile.

"Master Oscar will be fine." Max said with certainty.

"Yeah, I know." Hannah nodded.

At worst, she knew they could break into the jail and save Oscar.

Manuel told her it was an alternative once they were left with no choice.

But she didn't want it that way.

First, Oscar would be considered guilty if he went over the wall. Then he would be charged with taking brides and rape. She couldn't bear to see Oscar being insulted like that.

Second, they would give in to Charles, and someone behind him, if Oscar went over the wall, which also meant they would have to give up all their family properties and leave their home. More importantly, she couldn't accept the fact that those who had framed them were going to take away everything that did not belong to them and get away with it.

Thus, she told herself that she couldn't give in.

She was a pathetic loser in her previous life but she wasn't going to let it happen again. Instead, she would get back at them.

Hannah said to Max and Jimmy, "Don't worry. I'll get Oscar out of jail, safe and sound!"

Max nodded. He trusted her.

Jimmy wasn't much of a talker, but he also showed his belief in Hannah.

After dinner, Hannah went back to her room. She wasn't going to lock herself up this time. Instead, she planned to sort out and work on the case.

The news read: "Oscar Wells raped and murdered Mary Cooper."

So, was Mary dead?

Hannah saw with her eyes that Mary had got in a luxury car the other day. Was she killed on the same night?

Hannah had asked Theodore to look into it before, but she didn't follow up since Oscar had been arrested afterwards. And Theodore didn't tell her whom Mary was with that night and what they'd done. But he was detained in River Town at the moment.

Hannah had to admit that she was in a difficult situation now.

She took a deep breath and went through the news.

News about Oscar became a hit again because of his so-called crimes.

Hannah read it and looked at the blurred photos, in which Oscar was standing very close to Mary at the gate of a hotel. They looked very intimate. And another picture showed Mary's dead body, which had been pulled from the moat of Kensbury City. Her face was blurred out. Probably, it was soaked and went out of shape.

Hannah fixed her eyes on the photo and couldn't believe Mary had died.

Of course, she didn't believe Mary would live long, for she had always acted unreasonably and she would get herself killed sooner or later.

But Hannah still found it hard to believe that Mary had died all at once.

She had thought that she would kill Mary with her hand.

In her previous life, Mary seized every opportunity to insult her when she was down and out.

In this life, Hannah had planned to take out Charles first, and then she would decide how she should deal with Mary. However, Mary just died suddenly like that.

She didn't feel sorry for Mary, and she thought Mary deserved it.

What annoyed her was that Mary's death had become another evidence against Oscar.

The news said clearly that Oscar had forced himself on Mary that night, and Mary chose to drown herself because she couldn't accept the fact that she had been raped by her cousin's husband. According to Mary's autopsy, she was raped, but they couldn't get the suspect's DNA in her since the body had been soaked in the river for days. But telling from the existent evidence, the crime of rape was valid.

Hannah grabbed the phone in hand, trying to imagine how Mary went to hell.

According to the news report, Mary must have been raped, and probably, in a rather violent way, which served the purpose to set Oscar up and making the crime sound more horrible. Then, the suspect threw her dead body into the river deliberately to soak it for days, then exposed her death when he assured himself that no DNA could be found.

The plan was a perfect one.

Hannah couldn't help to wonder if Mary had regretted her last gasp.

Did she regret sacrificing herself for something that didn't belong to her?

Anyway, Hannah didn't think she needed to feel sorry for someone like Mary. Whatever she had got, she asked for it. She deserved it.

Hannah logged out of the news App and called Manuel.

Surprisingly, Manuel picked up the phone immediately though it was in the middle of the night, "Hi, Hannah."

"Are you still awake?"

"I can't sleep, just like you do."

"Is it difficult?" Hannah said.

"A little. I'm going to River Town tomorrow." Manuel said, "I'm still on pins and needles, so I'd like to fly over personally."

"Be safe."

"OK." Manuel added, "How are you doing?"
