Chapter 764 Hannah's Back to Cooper Group

Manuel was unable to answer his question.

How long was one going to be able to keep waiting for the other? One year was surely fine. But how about 10 years? As he knew, Hannah must stay fine, even alone, if Oscar was willing to set her free, given her personality and ability.

The pain brought by Oscar might vanish in 1 or 2 years. But it could not survive for 10 years. When she let go of her love someday, she couldn't come back to Oscar.

Manuel gave up his persuasion, but with a small hope that his cousin did not need Hannah to wait as long as 10 or 20 years. That was desperately long. Even if Hannah stayed by his side by that time, her love must have gone.

"Manuel, take care of the business in Kensbury," Oscar said without any more explanation.

"OK," Manuel answered quickly.

Afterwards, Manuel dialled Hannah's number.

"This is Manuel. I just called my cousin and now you can go for the business of the Cooper Group."

"Thanks," Hannah said with unexpected calmness.

She did not sound excited about the news. Maybe any of her hope or expectation for her ex-husband had died away. So she could accept any of his decision.

"Hannah, the Cooper Group will be my last target. So you don't need to rush." Manuel promised.

"All right," Hannah replied emotionless.

"Call me if you need. There is still much I can help, just except those essential ones that I cannot go against my cousin."

"Understand."

However, Manuel knew he could barely help Hannah do what she wanted but he would do anything he could to relieve her pain and suffering, even just a bit.

He could not reject the task when Theodore gave the message of it, but he still felt guilty about what he would do. He could not constrain his emotions when he had to face Hannah, Susan and Edward. So the only thing he could help was to reduce the harm to them as much as possible.

"Then I have to go," Manuel said.

"OK," Hannah replied. Her smile dimmed away soon after her phone was put down.

A problem started haunting her. That was how to inform her parents about her divorce and the fact that the Cooper Group faced an acquisition. But other than allowing herself down for that long, Hannah stood from the couch and found Max kept his eyes on her, in case of any extreme cases, such as suicide.

Hannah was somewhat amused by her discovery. If she was weak with a suicidal attempt, she should have ended her life when she was grounded in the house by Oscar after their divorce. She didn't have to wait for long for she would suffer more.

She said, "Max, as per the call from Manuel just now, I am permitted to go out now. Can you please call your master and confirm it?"

"Yes, ma'am," Max answered quickly with a touch of excitement. He had been worrying about the risk to her mental health for Hannah, such as depression, due to the custody life. That must be too terrible. Max made a quick call to Oscar who later made some more instructions. After the call was over, Max went to Hannah with significant excitement, and said, "Ma'am, you can go out whenever you want. And Master Oscar has arranged security guards for your protection."

Hannah sneered at that flattering excuse which failed to cover his master's true intention. They were just for surveillance in case of her evacuation.

She replied, "Get it. I want to go out now. Can you please arrange for me?"

"Yes, ma'am," Max answered and seemed much happier than her.

"Max,"

"Yes? Anything I can help with?" Max replied enthusiastically.

Sometimes Hannah did envy Oscar's luck to have such a loyal steward.

"Please don't call me like that from now on."

The smile on Max's face was frozen by embarrassment.

"Please don't go too far. This is nothing personal. I won't shoot the messenger for this is only between Oscar and me. But I am not his wife any more. So please call my name instead, or you can call me Miss Cooper." Hannah said peacefully.

But this was quite challenging for Max.

"Don't worry. Oscar won't blame you." Hannah said genially.

Max followed with an awkward nod, "Yes, Miss Cooper."

Hannah smiled lightly at his change. Then she added, "Now I go upstairs for change. Please arrange a car to send me to the office."

"Yes, ma... Miss Cooper."

Then Hannah turned and went upstairs. As soon as she turned her back to Max, she seized her smile. Putting on a joyful expression for a person in melancholy was a real challenge.

She changed into a formal dress. Her baby bump was right covered by a piece of baggy clothing. Moreover, she looked refreshed with simple makeup.

When she got in the car, she found two bodyguards, one in the seat of the co-driver, the other beside her. Both of them seemed quite respectful. From now, she might have to get used to such protection whenever going out by car.

Soon the car was pulled over in front of the Cooper Group building. At the sight of the logo of "Cooper Group" on the building, she was pricked. There would be another name for that building in the future. Hannah repressed her emotions and entered the hall. Her sudden appearance surprised the staff who thought she must stay at home for careful nursing. And according to the news, Oscar was going to mount the seat of the Commander-in-chief. So as his wife, she must stay beside him at the moment. In a word, her unexpected visit was incredible.

Rose was dumbfounded at the sight of Hannah in her office. Rose thought Hannah must have kept away from the Cooper Group and stayed at home to be the First Lady ever after. So the sight of her honourable head made her tearful out of excitement.

"Ms Hannah," Rose hurried ahead and said, "I cannot imagine that you are right up here any more."

The sight of Rose gave a sudden blow to Hannah's heart.

How could she tell her about Jimmy's death?

With a slight nod, Hannah turned around and sat down in her task chair. Her desk was as clean as before even after her absence for long.

"Ms Hannah, would you like a drink? How about milk?" Rose asked.

Hannah shook her head and opened her mouth in a dull tone, "Rose?"

"Yes?" Rose responded enthusiastically.

Hannah took out an amulet from her bag. That was the one Rose gave Jimmy and she recognized it at the first sight. Then a significant trace of upset rose on her face from embarrassment. "Why did he have the other send it back to me? If he did not want it, he could just throw it away!" Rose complained to herself.

"Where is he?" Rose asked annoyingly, "Is he following Mr Wells and won't come back?"

Hannah sealed her lips without an answer. Her eyes seemed a bit red, though she was trying hard to constrain her tears.

"Jimmy does not suit you." Hannah said as peacefully as she could, "Just forget him."

Then she passed the amulet back to Rose.
