Chapter 542 The Trial (2) The Court

But she had to seize her fury before the media.

This is not a good time for she spoke for Oscar.

She said peacefully, "For all your questions, I have no answer. But I trust the impartiality and justice of the law which will give a final and right answer for all of these."

After that, the hall was in an uproar.

Hannah's line gave a clear clue of her mistrust of Oscar and an attempt to replace a fallback plan.

Compared to what they had learned that Hannah devoted herself to Oscar's case, the latest observation for the recent days in which Hannah resumed her normal routine of work, forged a guess that she might have given up Oscar.

The guess seemed not to be groundless.

Another question came, "Mrs Wells, do you regret marrying Oscar Wells? As I know, this was a wedding supposedly for you and Mr Charles Sawyer. But Oscar's sudden emergence changed the story. Without him, you and Charles might have reconciled and married. But unluckily, your felicity was ruined for Oscar, a scum. Do you ever regret it?

Hannah clenched her fists to constrain her fury, while Theodore dashed out from the side of her and punched the reporter in the face vehemently.

Hannah did not stop him.

She must do the same if she could.

A scene of chaos happened because of Theodore's act.

Hannah glanced at Jimmy who read her at once and she made a successful retreat under Jimmy's protection.

When she paced up the stair, a voice slowed her down.

A report yelled suddenly, "It's Charles and Lady Sarah!"

The announcement drove everyone away from the fight.

Theodore loosed the reporter lying on the ground, threatening, "I will tear your mouth next time."

The reporter, with bruises and blood on his face, murmured, "I will, will suit you..."

"Just do as you want," Theodore responded and left him behind.

He returned to Hannah quickly. Following her sight, he saw Charles and Sarah.

This was the most admirable couple in Kensbury City.

Theodore found his pulse of fighting reemerging, with his fists gripping.

"Let's go," Hannah shifted her sight back and comforted, "After all, their happy time is counting down."

Theodore repressed his fury and left too.

Charles sneered at them from a distance.

His sight traced Hannah all along, secretly. Watching her bleak back moving further, he was overwhelmed with excitement.

He was the winner, completely beating her down.

The reporters made a nasty shift in their manner in front of Charles. They grew enthusiastic, even ingratiating themselves in inquiry, "Morning, Mr Sawyer. May I know why you come to the court yourself?" Everyone was clear that Charles was the most powerful celebrity in Kensbury now.

He was born in one of the four big families, and now became the son-in-law of the Collins.

He made such a good leap.

Charles answered, "Given the fact that we were colleagues before, I have to come. And, that's the business of City Hall."

"And do you have any comment on Oscar Wells' case?" A reporter cast out another question, "It sounds unbelievable that Oscar Wells snatched a corruption of dozen millions, for the Wells are that rich." "This is not about money," Charles commented, "but a failure in resisting one's temptation before power."

"So do you mean Oscar just crossed the legal boundary for his indulgence in power?"

"Of course, this is a question that can only be answered by the court." Charles made a cunning explanation.

"Then according to the existing situation, how long will Oscar be sentenced in jail as you expect? Will he face the death penalty, for after all he is involved in another foul play?

"I am not the judge so I cannot answer the questions you asked," Charles responded cautiously, holding his wife intimately, and said, "Sorry, we have to go."

He was asking the reporters to leave.

Naturally, the reporters dared not to follow.

They rushed to make out a passage for them.

The couple left in a hug. And the press shot the sweet back of the couple.

Doubtless, Charles and Sarah must become a new enviable trending topic.

Hannah sat in an audience row in the courtroom.

She swiped and browsed on the phone, wordless.

She seemed as peaceful as a lake on a windless day. However, turmoil stirred beneath the tranquil water. Her nerves got tingling for she finally could meet Oscar again. The news on the phone kept updating unusually quickly today.

Things happening here could be found in the news, including the reporters, the accident in which Theodore punched a reporter, and the sweet-hugging couple

At that moment, someone distracted her from the news.

She saw Charles holding Sarah carefully and leading her to another row. At length, both of them rest themselves down.

Sarah cast a look at Hannah as soon as she sat down.

Coincidentally Hannah met her glance.

Hannah found a triumphant smile on Sarah's face.

She just looked back.

And she remembered again the days when Charles and Sarah tortured her, which she would never forget and forgive.

"Hannah!" she heard Susan suddenly.

Hannah changed her sight.

And she soon peeled the revenge off her eyes.

"My God. There are so many reporters outside. You can see the impact of Oscar Wells." Susan said enthusiastically.

Susan was always the most enthusiastic bystander.

Hannah made no response.

"Are you anxious?" Susan asked in concern while spotting her silent friend.

"Certainly."

"At ease. Oscar will be found innocent and get released for he must be set up." Susan comforted.

This was not an easy trial.

She also aimed to drag Charles down and have him pay for his crime.

Susan swallowed down her words when she saw Manuel.

He made a seat beside Theodore very naturally after he entered the courtroom.

At the same time, Martina headed for him.

Susan withdrew her sight by looking away.

"Manuel, my brother told me that Oscar had no way out this time. Don't stir with Hannah. That will harm your fame." Martina said directly.

She did not care if her remarks might hurt the ones surrounding her.

Manuel grew dull.

Theodore was provoked by her words. With his face growing pale under fury, he warned, "One punch of mine

can send you to hell at once. Do you want a trial?"

Martina grew pale on her turn with horror.

She gnashed, "Manuel, I am doing a good turn for you."

Watching Theodore grow duller, Martina was impelled to leave Manuel before saying, "I will come back to you privately later."

Looking at Martina's back, Theodore swore, "Manuel, how come your taste in women is so bad?"

Manuel rolled an eye at him.

"One after one. All stupid and ungraceful." Theodore murmured.

Susan's face turned green at hearing Theodore's complaint.

Theodore was targeting her too.

When she was going to retort, she found people streaming in, including the staff, officials, witnesses, suspect and lawyers.

Susan glanced at Hannah.

Her friend was transfixed, with her sight pinned on the man taken out by the police.
