Chapter 546 Trap

Venus turned rather displeased upon hearing Loretta's mockery, "Mrs Sawyer, I am afraid I can't agree with you."

"You still reserve hope for Hannah, huh?"

"Hannah is a part of the Wells. Mrs Sawyer, are you trying to drive a wedge?" Venus refuted coldly.

Loretta soon turned sulky.

She had always been hostile to Venus.

Exactly speaking, she was being jealous.

Venus, known as the hostess of the Wells which was the head of the Top Four families in Kensbury, had been highly respected. However hard Loretta struggled among the upper class, she always appeared a bit inferior to Venus. Thus, she had been dreaming to grind Venus beneath her heels.

Then she simply sneered, "Mrs Wells, I don't mean to provoke but to kindly remind you that some ladies are talented in covering up themselves."

"You're right. You set a great example yourself." Venus nodded to mock.

"Venus!" irritated, Loretta didn't expect such a straight mockery from her.

"Mrs Sawyers, I am afraid the family business of the Wells is not your concern." Showing no intention to continue the conversation, Venus left with the rest of the Wells.

Watching her back, Loretta couldn't help trembling out of the madness.

She thought she could just humiliate Venus. After years of being the inferior one, she had been growing a great grudge against her. Of course, it would be better if she could drive a wedge between Hannah and the Wells, by which she could instigate the conflict between the Wells and the Coopers so that the Sawyers could eventually benefit from it.

Meanwhile, Charles, together with Martina and Sarah, saw an embarrassed look of Loretta.

"Come on, let's go. They are just playing tough. I swear they will soon regret it." Said Charles. Loretta held back her anger and then huffed, "I swear I am gonna make them suffer!"

Charles nodded.

He expected the doomsday of the Wells.

As soon as they walked out of the court, a group of journalists surrounded them.

Charles hurried to stand in front of Sarah to show how caring he was to her. Meanwhile, Sarah kinda enjoyed it.

"Mr Sawyer, it was said that Oscar fainted away under the pressure of struggling to deny conviction. Was that true?" one of them hurried to ask.

"Yes, that's why the court is adjourned," Charles answered.

"Mr Sawyer, do you believe that it's part of Oscar's plan? He did this to buy himself more time before being sentenced."

"I am not a doctor to provide professional comment."

"It was said that the defence lawyer had been resorting to sophistry. Was that true?"

"Indeed, the way he defended didn't sound strict in logic."

"It was said that the defence attorney strongly speculated that you got involved in Mary's death. Was that true?"

"That's why I consider the way he defended didn't sound strict in logic." Charles refuted it seriously.

But of course, he got to do everything he could to avoid suspicion, especially when exposed to media.

"But people are believing that the statement of defence seems reasonable. Everyone involved remains suspicious before there is certain proof to conclude that Mary was once raped by Oscar." One of the journalists suddenly proposed.

Charles soon turned into a livid face.

He was here to prove himself innocent instead of bringing himself suspicion.

Then he huffed, "You're not the judge. You have no right to make comments about the case!"

"Mr Sawyer, why are you being angry? Are you trying to cover up something?"

"How dare you! It's nonsense!" Charles got mad.

However, the journalist didn't seem to care. He continued loudly, "Mr Sawyer, you have been claiming that only the judge has the right to make comments. If so, how could you consider my doubt as a kind of nonsense?"

Charles was livid about it.

"Mr Sawyer, your anger of no reason is causing you misunderstanding. Or perhaps...were you involved in Mary's death?"

"If you keep slandering me, I am gonna sue you!" Charles threatened.

The journalist showed no fear.

Of course, it was part of Hannah and Theodore's plan.

They got Charles involved in the trial on purpose so that Melvin Balderston would have a reason to play his role in the investigation.

The journalists then continued, "Sorry, Mr Sawyer, I was just expressing my speculation. I sincerely apologize to you if I have offended you. However, before the trial is settled, whoever met Mary before her death shares the same suspicion. I don't mean to indicate that you might be the suspect. I was just making comments about the case itself. Mr Sawyer, please don't have my opinion distorted in case of worse misunderstanding."

Of course, Charles wouldn't believe his explanation. He could decidedly tell that the journalist was indicating.

So Charles continued seriously, "No one is responsible for the case but the court itself. Nor shall anyone have the right to draw any conclusion before it's settled. Sorry, I am too busy to handle any more questions. Everybody, please get out of the way." After that, he pushed the journalists standing in the front away and then supported Sarah to leave.

Loretta and Martina hurried to follow with sulkiness.

Sitting inside the car, both Hannah and Theodore watched them breaking away from the group of journalists.

"Let's go." Hannah talked to Jimmy.

Then Jimmy stepped on the gas.

While browsing his phone, Theodore said, "The questions just now have all been sent to media. The headline shall be ready soon."

"Tell Manuel to get prepared in case the Collins censors all news. If that happens, tell Manuel to hack the media to keep the news released and make use of his technology to grow public attention." "Okay." Theodore nodded.

After that, the air fell into silence.

Of course, every one of them was concerned about Oscar especially after they saw how haggard he looked during the trial.

...

At about 2 PM, a piece of breaking news was released, "Charles Sawyers is likely to be involved in Mary Cooper's death!"

As soon as it hit the headline, it attracted tremendous attention. It spread so fast that Charles was pissed upon seeing that. With the help of the Collins, all related news had been erased.

However, at midnight, a post relating to the news on social media, which couldn't be deleted, started going viral again. What was more, the post seemed to be able to hack all devices whenever people started browsing. Soon, the gossip that Charles got involved in Mary's death started to arise considerable suspicion among people.
