Chapter 778 Sarah Comes to Visit
Manuel escorted Hannah and Miguel out. At the gate, he opened the door for them respectfully. More or less, Miguel was biased against Manuel and had a hard time leaving the company to him. But he patted Manuel hard on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You have it now."
"You have Cooper Group now. It's our family business. Don't ruin it." added Miguel.
Manuel nodded. Though he felt sorry inside, that had happened. Hannah felt like crying again, wondering how desperate and helpless her father was when he told his rival that.
Miguel said nothing else. He bent down and got into the car. Hannah sat next to him. She looked back at Manuel, who was smiling and seeing them off.
The driver started the car and drove away from the building. Hannah saw tears in Miguel's eyes. He had held back his emotions since he knew his business would be purchased till this moment when everything he once owned was gone. He simply couldn't help it any more.
Hannah looked away. She knew Miguel didn't want her to see him weak in tears. Every father was like a hero and superman to his daughters regardless of his age.
Downstairs the building, a woman came out behind Manuel when the car went out of sight. She got there with Manuel this morning. Hannah saw her but she just ignored her. Nor did that woman greet Hannah as if they didn't know each other.
"Unbelievable! Hannah has done a great job. It almost got to me." Said Sarah sarcastically.
She came to Kensbury City with Oscar the day before. Oscar had turned a cold shoulder to her, but he didn't turn her down. He just forbade her from staying in his villa. So, she had to stay in the hotel. She came to the Cooper Group this morning, hoping to see Hannah leave in despair. To her surprise, the Cooper family had won the best benefits for the staff right before they left. Probably, it would be a legend in the business circle, and they would enjoy a good name forever.
Sarah snorted. This was not what she wanted to see.
Manuel just ignored her and went into the office building. Sarah looked bad when watching him leave. That the man she used to belittle now showed a disregard for her made Sarah cross. One day, she would prove she was above them all, she swore.
Sarah raised her hand, by which a car not far away was called in. The car pulled over right in front of her. Sarah got in there and told the driver, "To Oscar's villa." Before that, Oscar had forbidden her from getting into his place in Kensbury, but now she would defy his order to prove that she was not a person to be trifled with.
Hannah told the driver to take Miguel home first. Then she gave an excuse and left. Miguel did not say anything else. Maybe he also needed time to accept the fact and pull himself together. He didn't want Hannah to see him being weak, either.
Hannah returned to the villa and saw Oscar sitting in the living room. However, she did not want to see him here. But then she thought she became a bit inconsistent since she had promised Oscar to have lunch together today. Anyway, his plane would take off at 8 PM. There were eight more hours to go. No matter how she could deal with it, Hannah thought to herself.
She went straight past him and went upstairs without saying a word or casting him a glance. Oscar saw her and swallowed back the words. In silence, he stared at Hannah's back.
Suddenly, his phone rang. But he hung it up after checking the caller ID. However, someone had been calling. Finally, Oscar answered it with reluctance.
"Hello, Oscar?" uttered Lilian.
"What's up?"
"Sarah is waiting for you at the gate. She wants to talk to you but the guard doesn't let her in. She said she called but you didn't pick up the phone." said Lilian anxiously.
"What's the matter? Wait till I come back."
"Sarah is all alone in Kensbury City. Can you please look her out for me?" asked Lilian.
Oscar said nothing in reply.
"She's got very painful memories there. I'm worried about her." Added Lilian, knowing that Oscar wouldn't compromise easily.
"I won't let her go to Kensbury City again." Continued Lilian immediately.
"Fine."
Lilian got her way and smiled complacently on the other side of the phone. Oscar knew she did it on purpose but still didn't turn her down because it would be regarded as a betrayal once he said no to her. They had made a deal in the first place, in which Oscar could not break the promise.
"Thank you, Oscar."
Oscar hung up on her. Soon afterwards, Sarah showed up in the living room. She flew into a rage when the guard stopped her at the gate, while at this moment, she was smiling friendly at Oscar. "Sorry for the trouble, Oscar. But I do have something to tell you."
"What is it?" his hatred for her could barely be hidden.
Sarah was rendered mad but she didn't show it. She went to Oscar and sat down next to him. Oscar frowned. Sarah was sitting close to him but didn't get in physical touch with him. She always knew what to do and how far to go, and she always believed a woman was the most seductive when she played hard to get.
"I went to the Cooper Group with Manuel this morning." She said.
Oscar knitted his eyebrows.
"I know Manuel has been busy with the acquisition of Cooper Group, Phillips Bank and Wells Group. I've done a little digging. It's a tough job for Manuel to handle three companies at the same time. So, I wanna help."
"No, thanks. Manuel can handle it." Said Oscar without hesitation.
"I know Manuel is very capable. But I just wanna help."
"I said no."
Sarah looked a little upset since Oscar was nothing like the other guys. He could not be swayed easily. Then she calmed herself and saw Hannah coming downstairs when she was about to try something else. Hannah saw her right after she came to the staircase, but she appeared calm and cool as if Sarah was nothing but a total stranger to her. However, Sarah was angry to see how she scorned her.
