Chapter 825 Hypocritical

Hannah continued with her food. She didn't seem uneasy even with them watching.

Lillian suddenly broke the silence, "Hannah, sorry."

With her lips pressed, she looked at Lilian. She didn't see any need for Lillian to say sorry. She never considered Lillian responsible for her conflict with Oscar. From her point of view, it was on Oscar only. And Lillian had nothing to do with that. After all, if it weren't because of Oscar's consent, Lillian wouldn't have shown up here. Hannah had been wise enough to understand the situation.

Before she uttered it, Lillian explained, "I heard that my sister scratched your neck."

It turned out that she apologized for what Sarah had done instead of her sudden arrival of disturb. The ownership of the villa had been transferred to Hannah, which Oscar might even probably forget about. However, he still had the power to take back whatever he wanted as long as he wished.

Hannah simply replied, "It doesn't matter to me. It was I who smashed her reputation and put her in prison. She has every right to revenge. And it's just a mere scratch."

Once again, Hannah admitted that it was she who conspired all these against Sarah. After that, Oscar took a look at her. Noticing the nonchalance shown on her face, he chose to keep silent.

"You're not fully responsible for what happened to Sarah. To be honest, when I saw that video, I couldn't even believe that it was my sister committing all this. If it weren't for the fact that she was pushing too far, you wouldn't have set her up. Frankly speaking, it's all on her. I gotta say you are way much cleverer than her." Said Lillian carelessly.

Hannah replied with silence. She didn't care about Lillian's real thoughts.

"I will be back in the Capital tomorrow. So I am staying here tonight. Before I set off tomorrow, I will go to see my sister. Oscar doesn't consider accommodating in a hotel a choice of safety. So he told me to stay here overnight. Besides, I miss those dishes cooked by Max. That's why I am here. I hope I won't get you bothered."

"Of course not. Just feel free to stay here." Hannah replied with a decent smile.

She would rather give away the master bedroom for both of them to sleep together as long as they asked. However, she didn't confess most of her real thoughts. After all, now she was more like a mistress, who should learn to keep her mouth shut when talking to Lillian, the Mrs Wells-to-be.

"Oscar said you would be fine with that. To be honest, I found it incredible at the beginning. Not until now do I feel much relieved." Lillian smiled.

Hannah replied with a smile again.

Of course, she could tell it was just a reply of courtesy-even if she found it repulsive when Lillian showed up, she could do nothing about it. Since she loved to put on a seemingly humble look, Hannah would like to spare her the chance to disguise herself.

While Hannah was dining, Lillian brought up topics from time to time, to which she simply responded out of courtesy. The air between them appeared seemingly friendly.

After supper, Lillian stretched herself and said, "I am a bit sleepy. I think I need some sleep."

"Max. Please bring her a glass of warm milk." Said Oscar to Max.

"Yes, sir." Max hurried to respond.

Lillian paid Oscar a smile, "You never forget to bring me a glass of milk before sleep. Even I have forgotten about that."

"You almost spend the whole day on the flight. Time to get some sleep."

"I am not tired. I was sleeping all the way through. I don't feel tired at all thanks to your care." Smiled Lillian.

Oscar nodded.

"Alright, time for me to sleep." Lillian knew it was time to end the conversation as Oscar didn't feel like talking. Commonly speaking, a brilliant, considerate and privileged lady like her would be tempting to all guys in the world.

Lillian then went upstairs herself. But Hannah still stayed sober after hours of sleep. So she went to the garden for a walk.

Oscar quietly followed behind. It had been a month since they met last time. Hannah found it challenging to figure out how to deal with their relationship. If she were to be more passionate, he would be likely to consider her deceitful. If she were to pay him indifference, he would be likely to get annoyed because she didn't fulfil her duty as a 'mistress'.

"Hannah." While she was hesitating, Oscar broke the silence. Meanwhile, he reached out his hand to grab hers. Hannah didn't resist even though she found it repellent.

"Yes?"

"Don't worry. The Collins will do nothing about what happened to Sarah." Said Oscar. He seemed to be explaining the reason for Manuel's request to ask her to confess in front of Sarah.

"But it was I who set her up. It's up to the Collins to decide if they are gonna revenge on me." Hannah didn't seem to be worried. Since she had made the choice, she had been prepared for the consequences even though she didn't mean to confess at the very beginning. However, even if the public were to know about what she had done to set up Sarah, she wouldn't think about replaceing herself a scapegoat. "Lillian will leave for the Capital tomorrow. She should have returned home today. But the Collins insist that she should meet Sarah first. So she gotta stay here tonight." Oscar explained. "Lillian has told me about it during supper. You don't need to explain to me again."

She found herself more willing to believe Lillian's words than his. Oscar nodded and didn't continue. The air felt a bit awkward. But still, he clutched at her hand while walking together with her in the garden. Meanwhile, outside the balcony of a bedroom on the second floor, there stood a lady. With all lights off in the room, her figure could be barely seen. Lillian stood still to watch them walking in the garden under dim light. They had just returned from abroad today. Without negotiation, Oscar insisted to return to Kensbury. If it weren't because she needed to talk to Sarah, he would have sent her back to the Capital alone. From Oscar's perspective, Hannah had been his priority. Lillian was one of the victims after her sister was imprisoned. However, he only cared about Hannah. What was worse, he had never shown any signs of care for her feelings. While watching their backs, she felt burning with hatred.

Jealousy started brewing in her eyes. But then, her phone rang. She walked into the bedroom to pick it up after she closed the window.

"Dad?"

"Are you in Kensbury?"

"Yeah, I will talk to Sarah tomorrow." Said Lillian.

"Teach her a lesson!"

"I see."

"She pissed me off! I have never been that humiliated!" huffed Rowan.

"It wouldn't have happened if it weren't because of Hannah."

"You believe it was Hannah?" asked Rowan coldly.

"Most likely. I pay a visit to her today. As far as I know about her, she wouldn't have admitted that if it weren't for her setting up Sarah. She isn't the type who's willing to be someone else's scapegoat."
