Chapter 555 Manuel'S Honey Trap

Chapter 555 Manuel's Honey Trap

The next day, Hannah got the news that Oscar would be in court next Monday.

Meanwhile, the news had released the time of Oscar's second hearing, and it'd also confirmed that Melvin Balderston would take part in the trial on behalf of the Investigation Department. Undoubtedly, the news caused a sensation as soon as it was published.

No one had imagined that Oscar's case had got two aristocratic families involved.

Hannah spent a long time going through the news, and called Theodore, "Did you read the news?"

"Yeah."

"The final trial will come next Monday."

"No worries. I've talked with the lawyer. Oscar will be acquitted of the charge."

"The point is, Charles will have to answer for it."

"Charles has locked Sarah up, and he'll be destroyed once the scandal is exposed."

"I'm afraid he'll kill Sarah."

Theodore fell into silence and agreed, "Indeed, that sounds like something he'll do."

"You've sent someone to keep an eye on it, right?"

"Yep, but just from a distance. Charles has watched it closely. So, we can't get to know how Sarah is doing now."

"But we can't assure that Sarah has been locked up by Charles."

"Hmm. Right."

"Then we've gotta roll the dice."

"What's your plan?" Theodore asked in earnest.

Hannah said to the point, "I bet Charles will surely seize the chance to kill Sarah! To be franker, he'll kill her to cover his crimes. But he won't do it before Oscar's trial. If Rowan knows Sarah is dead, he'll kill Charles. And the best chance to kill Sarah is on the day of the trial."

"Go ahead."

"People will focus on Oscar's case that day. We've got Charles involved and made him one of the suspects. He'll be in court for the hearing and inquiring, which means he'll have an alibi. Besides, if Sarah was killed on the day of the trial, Charles would have good reasons for being unable to protect her. After all, he can't be in two places at the same time. And Rowan won't blame him much for it. Moreover, Charles will act like a poor husband who has lost his beloved wife to seek sympathy from Rowan. In the end, he'll win Rowan's trust."

Listening to it, Theodore couldn't help to think Hannah was more capable and brilliant than he'd thought. She had extraordinarily good logic.

Hannah pursed her lips hard. That was only because she knew Charles too well. She could read his mind and foretell his plans as long as she concentrated on him.

"So, we'll have to send someone to keep Sarah safe on the day of the trial." Said she.

"I'll be on it."

"I want Manuel to do that," Hannah said.

"Fine. It will do." Theodore thought about it and said.

"I guess Charles will leave it to Martina," Hannah said firmly.

Charles trusted his family the most, and Martina was faithful to him.

They were pretty close. Martina had done a ton of brutal things for him in Hannah's previous life.

"You want Manuel to do the honey trap?"

"Almost like that." Hannah nodded her head.

"Hell! Good one!" Theodore said neatly.

Hannah laughed lightly. Indeed, she wouldn't tell Manuel to sell his charms if it wasn't so urgent.

"That's the plan. I'm gonna call Manuel."

"OK. I'll take care of my job."

"OK."

"Hannah," Theodore called her name out of a blue.

"Yeah?"

"Oscar won't let you down for whatever you've done for him." Theodore said seriously.

Hannah was a little surprised. She thought someone who was so playful like Theodore would never say these touching words.

"Yep. I know."

Theodore hung up.

Hannah began to recall what Oscar had done for her. She could feel his love, which was wildly different from what Charles had done to her in the past. Hannah went back to reality and called Manuel, "Hi, Manuel."

"Hello, Hannah."

"Can you do me a favour?"

"Sure. How can I help?" Manuel responded to her without the slightest hesitation.

Hannah told him the whole plan that she had discussed with Theodore earlier.

Manuel was silent for a few seconds.

"Is it too much to ask?" said Hannah.

Still, she was guilty. She knew clearly how Manuel wished to stay away from Martina, and Martina did love him.

She even dared not tell Manuel that Martina had been alone all her life because of him. She'd been waiting for him for a lifetime.

Both of them fell into silence. Suddenly, Manuel said with a smile, "Nah. Don't be guilty. It's for Oscar. Of course, I'm ready to do it. I just..."

He just didn't want to hurt anyone, right?

Seriously, Manuel was so soft-hearted. Martina might have something to do with Susan's miscarriage back then, but he didn't get to the bottom of it.

At that moment, he felt sympathetic for Martina.

"Just forget it. I know what to do." He said.

"Thanks."

"Not at all." Manuel said, "I'll keep you posted."

"Thanks a lot."

Manuel looked gloomy right after he hung up on Hannah because he knew how much love could hurt. Therefore, he never thought of hurting anyone in this way. Hesitating, he picked up his phone and dialled a number.

"Manuel!"

Martina answered the phone immediately. Her voice sounded very exciting.

Probably, she never imagined Manuel would call her first.

"Are you available tonight?" Manuel asked.

"Are you asking me out?" Martina couldn't believe her ears.

"Hmm. I'd like to talk to you alone."

"Yes." Martina gave him a quick yes.

"When will you get off work tonight?"

"Anytime."

"See you in Futuring(a restaurant) at 6 pm."

"OK," Martina said instantly. She didn't ask why. She would just say yes as long as he was willing to see her.

"See you soon."

"See you soon."

Manuel hung up the phone and heaved a sigh. He put down the phone and went on working hard on his computer.

At 5:30 pm, Manuel clocked out on time. He saw Henry driving past him when he arrived at the underground parking. It was rare that Henry got off work so early.

Henry was also surprised to see him, while Susan, sitting in Henry's car, was also very curious, "He left so early, too?"

"Maybe he's up to something." Said Henry.

Susan didn't stick with the topic. Her attitude towards Manuel was to keep her distance. After all, she knew Manuel hated her. She wouldn't be so stupid as to ask for insults.
