Chapter 557 Wheels Are in Motion
On hearing Susan's growl in the lady's room from afar, Manuel paused his steps.
He remained calm and went up to the door.
Actually, he didn't care much about Susan's mean words because he'd heard a lot. He went over and happened to see Susan walking out.
Susan just left after she vent out her anger. She thought it was a waste of time arguing with Martina.
She saw Manuel the moment she came out. Without a doubt, Manuel must have heard what she said. Damn it! Susan was a little annoyed and felt uncomfortable with it.
When she was about to say something, Susan heard Martina's voice from behind, "Dear Manuel, are you here to check on me?"
For God's sake, it just couldn't be more disgusting.
Susan gnashed and went past Manuel. But she still thought she might have gone too far just now. So she tried turning around to explain a little, only to replace Martina throwing herself into Manuel's arms, and Manuel was holding her naturally.
They were clinging to each other.
Martina was even rubbing against him, and the next second...
Susan turned around quickly.
Shit! What a nasty scene!
Surprisingly, a nerd like Manuel had accepted Martina's kiss in a public place. It was so weird.
Susan got out of there hastily, thus she didn't know what had happened next.
Manuel had avoided her kiss when Martina moved near to his face on purpose. He simply held Martina with his big hands, took out her phone secretly from her pocket and put it into his.
"I thought you would accept it to look real." Martina was sarcastic.
But Manuel just let go of her and said, "Come on. I'll drive you home."
"Now?" Martina asked.
"Mm."
He took Martina's hand and got out of the restaurant. Martina paid all her attention to Manuel and forgot to check her phone.
When they left the restaurant and got in the elevator, they saw Henry and Susan coming in too.
"Huh! Blindsided again." Martina smiled coldly.
Susan glanced at her and looked mad. She was rather annoyed to see them again even though she left earlier deliberately. Couldn't they just stay a little longer to make out? It was so annoying. Susan thought to herself.
"Will you drive me home, Manuel?" Martina asked Manuel in a soft and sweet voice.
"Yeah."
"I'm all alone tonight." Martina said, "Sarah had a minor accident. She's in hospital. My mother and Charles are there with her." Manuel didn't say anything in reply.
"You love mocha, right?" Martina continued, "I learned to make mocha in college. I'll make you one later in my place." "OK," Manuel said.
Susan listened and felt her stomach turning over.
What made it worse was that the elevator had mirror walls. Susan held Henry's arm and through the mirror in front of her, she saw Martina taking Manuel's hand. Their hands touching, Martina nearly clung her chest to Manuel's arm.
Susan rolled her eyes, wondering if she could be less slutty.
Martina did notice Susan's facial expressions, for nothing could be hidden in the mirror walls. And she took great pride in making Susan sick in that way.
The elevator arrived, and they left separately.
Manuel drove Martina home.
As they made it to the Sawyer Manor, Manuel parked the car but didn't intend to get off.
"Don't you go up?" Martina asked.
"I guess no."
"Jeez! Manuel, you're so realistic!"
Manuel didn't correct her.
"Never mind. You'll be touched by me one day!" Martina said it, opened the door and left angrily.
Manuel glanced at her back and drove off fast. He went straight back to the gate of the restaurant where they just had dinner.
Then he took out Martina's phone quickly, connected it to the laptop which he had put in the car, and connected it to his phone. Then he worked crazily fast on the laptop for a while. Very soon, he picked up his phone and made a call, "Theodore, send someone to get the phone in my car."
"Done?"
"Yeah."
"You sold your charms?" Theodore made fun of him.
Manuel said nothing in response. Instead, he just hung up the phone.
A moment later, someone knocked at the window of his car. Manuel handed the phone to the guy, who took it over and went out of sight.
Twenty minutes later, Manuel received a call from Theodore, "Just now Martina went back to the restaurant for her phone. She's got it."
"OK."
Manuel hung up on Theodore and called Hannah, "It's done."
"Already?"
"Yep. I've put a locating system and monitoring system in Martina's phone. So, I can spot her location as long as her phone is connected to the internet. And, I can monitor all her phone calls through the monitoring system."
"You're a genius!" Hannah couldn't help to praise.
Honestly speaking, she didn't know Manuel had so many techniques before.
Some time ago, Manuel broke up with Susan and went abroad. Hannah happened to read overseas news that Manuel was a super software tycoon. Not until then did she realize how amazing Manuel was. Manuel was a little shy to hear it, and said, "I'm just OK. Oscar is a real genius."
"Oh?" Hannah was surprised, "He can do this too?"
"Nope." Manuel said, "You'll know it later."
Hannah frowned and thought Manuel explained it away with that "later" thing every time.
"I gotta run. Bye for now."
"OK."
Hannah put down the phone.
Wheels were in motion. All she needed to do was wait for Charles to dig his own grave!
...
On Monday, the second hearing on Oscar's case began as arranged.
Hannah and Theodore made it early to avoid the journalists.
Many other people came one after another. Compared with the first hearing, the second one attracted more attention. After all, it'd also got the Balderston family involved.
In court, Hannah sat down in the audience seat and saw Melvin walking up to the seat of the public prosecutor. He was in a suit and tie, looking righteous, serious and even ruthless. Hannah blinked her eyes slightly and found Oscar being taken to court again.
