Hearing Leo Bruce’s questioning, Hannah Joseph whose heart thumps, settles down, takes a deep breath, pushes the door and walks in the room grandly.
"It's me."
Seeing clearly who it is, both Leo Bruce and Fiona Angela change their look, but Leo Bruce has to suppress his anger and greet with her by courtesy only.
"Why are you here?"
Looking at them, Hannah Joseph asks as if she doesn’t know.
"I just heard that you were arguing. Marriage is a happy event. How can you be upset?"
Her deliberately questioning makes Leo Bruce unhappy.
"You shouldn’t have heard clearly. We talked a little louder, but we didn’t argue.”
Leo Bruce manages to keep calm. When he looks at Hannah Joseph, he could not hide his contempt in his eyes. He thinks Hannah Joseph is just an ordinary woman who is not favored and has no power.
"If there is not anything I can do for you, please leave this room. I have something to say to my wife."
"You wife?" Hannah Joseph looks at them. Suddenly, her look becomes cold and she seems to think of something.
"I remember that yesterday the TV news reported Mr. Bruce offered a reward to look for his fiancee. Today you marry a new wife. I don't know how your missing fiancee would feel if she knew it."
"What do you mean?" Leo Bruce's face changes.
"Nothing." Hannah Joseph walks closer slowly, "I just want to tell Mr. Bruce and Mrs. Bruce some truth. For example, if you always walk along a river, you will get your shoes wet sooner or later. Another example, it's natural for someone in debt to pay for money or somebody, if he kill a person pay for a life."
