Chapter 529 Set the Trap (5) Drive a Wedge
The long-awaited wedding ceremony started.
All the guests were quiet, and their eyes were focused on the new couple.
The ceremony was as simple as a conventional one. At first, Charles made his entrance to meet Sarah. After the vows, they exchanged their wedding rings and kissed. Hannah watched them evenly.
Never had she thought that she would witness the wedding of the man, who used to be the one she was certain, and another woman one day. And she thought it was funny.
Susan was jeering at Charles and Sarah through the whole ceremony, which made Hannah feel somewhat happy.
After the ceremony, all the guests were seated for dinner.
Charles and Sarah changed into another suit and began to thank the guests by proposing a toast. Susan was very eager for that, as she wanted to see Charles' and Sarah's facial expressions when they faced Hannah.
"Just dig in." Henry picked up some food for Susan.
Susan's heart was not at dinner at the moment, and she just wanted to enjoy an exciting sight.
"You're getting emaciated." Henry picked up some food for her again, revealing his love for her.
"I'm not emaciated. I just regain my slim figure." Susan said in retort.
"You're too slim."
"No, I'm perfect!" Saying, she held her chest out to prove herself.
Hannah overheard them and she turned around to glance at Manuel unconsciously, only to see him wear a blank expression and just enjoy the food slowly. At that moment, Hannah thought it was good for Manuel not to take that to heart.
Soon, Charles and Sarah came to them. And everyone stood up to toast.
Charles spoke with a lot of high-sounding words, showing his humbleness. Then the festivities started.
He paid no attention to Hannah, not even any eye contact.
Susan began to cause trouble, "I think you should drink with Hannah, Charles."
Charles's countenance changed abruptly, while Sarah beside him looked quite embarrassed.
"Hannah and you were a match made in heaven, which was an accepted fact in Kensbury City. You nearly got married to Hannah. If it were not for..." Susan bit back her words deliberately. Everyone knew it was Charles' infidelity that caused them separate.
Susan's words put Charles in an extremely awkward situation. However, he couldn't lose his temper, for he was the role at the wedding and he would not like to tarnish his image of gentleness. He suppressed his anger and forced a smile.
Charles was an excellent hypocrite, as he could hold in his temper even in such an awkward situation.
"Fortunately, you didn't get married to Hannah. So you can marry Sarah today. Well, I think you should have a drink with Hannah. I believe Sarah doesn't mind it, right?" Then she said with a scornful laugh.
"Not at all." Sarah steadied her nerves and smiled.
After a drink, Hannah poured wine into her glass, and said to Sarah, "Let me drink a toast to the bride today."
Sarah's eyes moved slightly. That was the first time they had seen each other face to face.
Tacitly, there was a competition going on secretly between the two ladies.
"Charles is a good man...." Hannah stopped and smiled, "Anyway, I feel happy that Charles found his love again. I wish you a long and happy marriage."
"Thank you." Sarah was displeased with what Hannah said, but she forced a smile.
It was her whom Charles loved all the time, not Hannah, she thought. But at the moment she dared not to refute Hannah's words and only bottled up her anger. They drank up and made a few polite remarks.
As Charles was about to leave with Sarah, Hannah called him, and said, "Charles, I wish you happiness."
Her words were somewhat ambiguous.
Charles was annoyed. He immediately turned around to look at Sarah and found her wearing a sullen look.
Gritting his teeth with hatred, he grabbed Sarah's hand and left the table quickly.
Hannah laughed with scorn.
What she did certainly made Sarah feel unhappy, even if Sarah believed Charles.
Susan wanted to clap and cheer. Hannah was so brilliant, she thought.
Anyway, conflicts between Sarah and Charles had arisen. Hannah just did it perfectly without harming her image. Brilliant!
"Manuel," A female voice was heard suddenly.
Manuel turned around and saw Martina. The others looked at Martina too, including Susan.
Susan was hostile to her. She took a glance at Martina and kept eating, trying to ignore her.
"I'm looking for you. Why do you sit here?" Martina had a sour expression. She hated Hannah and Susan very much.
Manuel made no response.
"I couldn't replace you here if I didn't accompany Charles. I'll come to you later." Martina didn't ask for Manuel's opinion. She knew he would not agree, so she walked away directly. Manuel raised his eyes to look at her back for a little while.
Susan noticed his reactions. And she didn't know why Manuel liked Martina. But then, she realized that, no matter how despicable Martina was, she did have real feelings for Manuel. That was enough for Manuel.
Susan always thought it was easy for Manuel to bend. If someone treated him with sincerity, he would do it the same way.
Thinking of that, Susan became somewhat upset. She didn't know why she had been so depressed these days. Life after her divorce from Manuel was not as easy and happy as she had thought.
