Chapter 590 Death Penalty

The court session of Charles's case was officially opened at 10 o'clock. Melvin, as the prosecution, went through the crimes of Charles and Loretta. Then the victims, the witnesses and other related people appeared one by one, including, Sarah.

Without mercy, Sarah accused Charles of all his crimes, especially the situation where she had been abused by Charles's family while she was in the hospital.

It might never occur to Charles that one day he would die at the hands of a woman. He had always thought that he had an easy grip on women. Hardly did he anticipate that Hannah and Sarah, the two women he had torn his hair out over, were now sending him to his doom.

The defence lawyers did not speak too much in defence of Charles and Loretta, so the whole trial went very smoothly. Even though Charles and Loretta did not admit to the crime under all circumstances, the sentence was pronounced straight away supported by all the existing evidence.

Charles was sentenced to death with a twenty-year reprieve. Loretta was sentenced to life imprisonment. Their life was ruined.

After the verdict was announced, Hannah didn't look at Charles once more. She turned a blind eye to Charles's disbelief of the sentence, his emotional breakdown and Loretta's bawling.

Hannah was about to enter the sedan after leaving the court when she heard someone call her name from behind.

Hannah turned around and caught sight of Sarah. It was a little flattering to Hannah that Sarah took the initiative to reach her.

Hannah was well aware that even if Sarah had known that she had saved her from Charles, Sarah would not have been grateful to her. After all, Sarah also understood that Hannah did it for herself, to get Oscar acquitted and to revenge on Charles.

What's more, it was almost beyond doubt that Sarah's child was killed by Hannah. Although Sarah successfully took vengeance on Charles, she had been at Hannah's command. How could it be possible for such a proud and arrogant person like Sarah to peacefully accept everything?

Yet at this moment, Sarah suddenly got in touch with Hannah.

Hannah maintained her composure, smiled and asked, "Miss Collins, you want to see me for something?"

"Could we have a minute?"

Hannah turned back, glanced at Jimmy and said, "Wait for me in the sedan."

"Yes, ma'am." Jimmy nodded.

"Miss Collins, you can be straightforward if you have something to say," Hannah said bluntly.

So Sarah stopped beating around the bush, "Mrs Wells, would you like to cooperate with the Collins family?"

Hannah's brows were slightly furrowed.

Sarah was condescending, "It is true. The Collins family hopes that you are on our side."

"I am so flattered." Hannah didn't answer Sarah's question.

"My father said that you showed extraordinary competence in dealing with the issues of Oscar and Charles. He thinks highly of you. You wouldn't refuse us, would you?" Sarah said with a smile.

"I appreciate it that the Collins Family has a high opinion of me. But my family is just a merchant. We don't know how to work with you! Now that the Northfield is the world of Collins and Balderston, we all just follow you. We will naturally abide by whatever you order." With these words, Hannah refused Sarah's request. And she subtly expressed that she was subservient to them. There was nothing else on their mind. It was also a kind of indication of her neutral stance.

Sarah looked displeased. However grand Hannah's words were, Hannah was just rejecting her.

Sarah didn't want to draw Hannah in when her father had asked her to do so today in the first place. A woman like Hannah didn't deserve to enjoy the privileges given by the Collins Family. Sarah reluctantly compromised after her father's persuasion. In essence, they were just making full use of the Cooper family.

However, to her surprise, she was rejected by Hannah at this moment.

Who did Hannah think she was? Even if the Coopers were plutocrats, they were still nobody in front of the Collins family.

"Please tell your father that I am grateful for his compliments. In the future, I will enjoy the rights and fulfil the duties as a good citizen." Hannah didn't say much. She raised herself slightly with courtesy, opened the door of the sedan and left straight away.

Sarah's face was sullen. Even Charles once had to curry favour with her like a dog. Now she put down her stature to talk to Hannah, but this woman showed no respect for her!

Gritting her teeth, Sarah turned around and left. She was determined to land Hannah in serious trouble in every way.

Hannah got back into the sedan. She looked down at her phone and saw a new message, saying "It's okay to meet." She replied, "Thanks." And then she said to Jimmy, "Go to the detention house." Jimmy didn't ask much and he drove straight to the destination.

Hannah turned her head to look out of the car window at the beautiful view of Kensbury City. The New Year was past. Winter had also passed by a large part, she thought. And Charles would never be able to see the view of spring again.

They arrived shortly afterwards.

When they got out of the car and walked to the detention house, Jimmy was stopped. The staff said bluntly, "Only Mrs Wells is allowed to get in."

Hannah nodded and told Jimmy to stay there and wait for her. Since Melvin was kind enough to allow her to see Charles, she wouldn't push her luck. She followed the prison guard into a cell.

It was fair to say that the Collins family treated Charles generously. At least in these days, he didn't lose an arm or a leg. After all, Oscar was brutally tortured by him in prison. Of course, once Charles was put in prison, he would not have a good day. Now, all that he feared was people's judgments.

Charles was a little surprised when he saw Hannah, although he tried his best to hold his emotions. He sneered, "What are you doing here?"

"Amuse me by watching you make a fool of yourself," Hannah answered directly.

These words were enough to enrage Charles. With hatred, he glared at her in scarlet eyes, "Hannah, you will also die in your boots!"

"That was in my last life." Hannah's face turned cold.

Charles stared at Hannah in great fury.

Hannah laughed, "Don't you want to know why I've suddenly changed?"

"What do you mean?" Charles was extremely furious. It seemed that he didn't want to hear another word from Hannah. "I admit my defeat caused by you!"

"It's not enough to just admit it. You must know everything before you die." Hannah said coldly.

Charles gritted his teeth. Hannah was deliberately rubbing salt into his wounds. She was very clear about how proud Charles was. He would rather deceive himself to his death than accept his defeat. "Charles, let me tell you a story." Hannah paid no heed to Charles's anger at the moment.

She said, "It's a ridiculous story, but you know it's true."

Charles was trembling, trying to suppress his rage.

Hannah narrated in a faint voice, "I experienced a completely different last life than I do now. In my last life, I loved you so much that I believed all you said and gave you everything. I did everything you asked me to do. I endured all the humiliation from the Sawyer family. I thought you loved me. But what you wanted was my family's fortune!"
