Chapter 525 Set the Trap (1) Charles's Wedding

"I saw on the news that you're getting married." Said Hannah in a flat voice.

Charles showed a mocking grin. "What? Jealous? I married a better woman than you after all."

A disdainful smile crossed Hannah's face.

She ignored his mockery and continued, "Aren't you gonna invite me? Why haven't I received your invitation yet?"

"What game are you playing this time?" Such a backstabber as Charles had become very wary of Hannah and would not easily believe what she said after competing head-to-head with her and suffering so many times.

"I haven't seen her in person yet."

Charles smirked. "Want to compare yourself to her?"

"Nope, just out of curiosity."

"Curiosity?" Charles drawled, for he did not believe a word of it, "Sarah is way better than you!"

That remark reminded Hannah of what he had said the last time she died: "Sarah is much better and sexier in bed."

She sneered at the thought.

"Charles, I want to meet you tonight." Said Hannah on the phone.

"Why do you think I'll see you?" he rejected bluntly. There was no way he would see her alone at this critical moment.

It was ridiculous. Did she think he was that gullible?

Charles laughed at Hannah inside.

"Fine, I'll get to the point. I want to see Oscar."

"Huh, that's what you're after." Charles seemed to have anticipated there was something behind her beating around the bush.

"Are you begging me to take you to Oscar?"

"Yes, I'm begging you."

"Nice try! But it won't happen!" Charles didn't care about her and continued, "Even if you kneel to me, I won't help you. Hannah, you'll witness how he was destroyed and suffered!" Gnashing her teeth, Hannah was eventually irritated by his bad words.

"Don't you ever call me again! I won't answer!" Charles got carried away and said, "I may as well tell you straight that I've never been into you in the first place, and all my deep affection for you was a mere sham. The one I loved is always Sarah. Hannah, don't take yourself seriously!"

"Oh, is that it?" Hannah acted as if she didn't care and said, "In that case, may you two always be in love."

With that, she hung up the phone.

Charles felt somewhat uncomfortable.

He had meant to ridicule Hannah, however, her lack of reaction pissed him off. Holding his phone in hand, he couldn't get her out of his head.

He said he'd never liked her. With his heart throbbing at that instant for some reason, his face darkened.

Sarah could bring him a glorious life, while Hannah was nothing to him.

...

Putting down her phone, Hannah found herself lost in thought.

Charles was not easy to fool. But she was aware that he was the most effective tool for her.

In a word, she could by no means give up on using him if she wanted to see Oscar.

She calmed herself down and called Manuel, "When will you come back?"

"In a few days. I got a hit on the two men from the surveillance video, and I've been just keeping an eye on them in the dark for fear that they'll notice. I'll send someone to bring them back once the court date is set. But now I have to watch closely how they were treated by our adversary."

"Got it." Hannah nodded and asked, "Can you show up at Charles's wedding?"

Manuel frowned. "What's wrong?"

"I have to be there. Well, me and my family ain't invited, which doesn't mean I can't get in. There's a way to make it to the wedding, but I need a hand. I can't count on Theodore as it's still unclear when he'll be released." Hannah told him honestly.

"Fine, I'll be back the day before his wedding."

They talked some more, and then as the phone hung up Hannah was pondering over the case again, trying to get things straight.

At the moment, they have found the evidence-video and witness-to prove that Oscar was framed. It was completely justified to prove Oscar's innocence as long as they got the real financial statement. Hannah was pretty sure Oscar had it. That was why she had to meet him, by all means.

As for the charge of raping Mary resulting in her death, she left it to Theodore for the time being.

Hannah kept going through the details of the case.

And a week later came Charles's big day. These days, news about the wedding had been trending, and it almost overshadowed those of Oscar's crime.

These two men of the hour had always been compared side by side, and at present Charles had the upper hand.

Hannah had been neglectful of her appearance for almost a month. But on that day, she became radiant after spending nearly three hours dressing up for the occasion.

She wore a one-shoulder red fishtail gown that set off her rosy complexion and that wrapped her perfect figure, curvy and neat.

With fair delicate skin, an elegant neck, and a pretty face, Hannah was an absolute stunner.

Hannah put on a thick coat and got into Jimmy's car heading to Charles's wedding, not with an invitation but with her beauty.

She was sitting around in the car and watching the reports today on her phone, which were all about this big wedding.

For better or worse, Oscar hadn't been in the news for days.

They soon arrived at the most luxurious palatial hotel in Kensbury City.

The entrance was already crowded with reporters, which was not surprising as it was the wedding ceremony of the Collins's daughter, kind of a national sensation. And that was precisely what Hannah wanted. Jimmy pulled up in front of the hotel, where a clerk came up respectfully and opened the door for her.

The invitation wasn't required until the red carpet's end so Hannah could show up in front of the media.

No sooner had she got out of the car than she caused a stir among the reporters, for no one had expected her to attend Charles's wedding.
