Chapter 1002 A Private Villa

Manuel had no idea what Susan was thinking. Of course, they would come to court unless he was the heartless type. He nodded heavily and agreed, "Okay."

Susan reluctantly agreed after getting Manuel's satisfactory answer, "Okay then, let Minerva be smug for a few more days!"

"Let's go," Manuel held Susan carefully in his arms, afraid she might bump into something.

Besse followed in their footsteps. She didn't know why but she liked the feeling of being around them. She even envied their bubbly relationship despite all the bickering.

The group returned to the garage, where the black car was still parked there. Besse hesitated as she had just argued fiercely with Oscar earlier on.

She admitted that she lost her temper when Phantom accused her of something and after everything Oscar did for her, it made her explode instantly.

But with Susan and Manuel's arrival, Besse understood that Oscar only wanted to wait for Susan to arrive so they could expose Minerva's true colours together. As for how Oscar could help her out of this mess, she wasn't sure but seeing how confident Susan looked meant that they must have found a better way to clear her name.

As a result, she misunderstood Oscar and hurt him intentionally but didn't regret it because there were no feelings between them anyway. Everything she did now was just an attempt to distance themselves from each other as much as possible without hurting Doyle unfairly.

As Besse struggled with whether or not to get in Oscar's car before leaving the garage area, his black car had already driven off without waiting for anyone else. He helped make up her mind by making a choice himself, which left no room for doubt about his intentions towards her.

She thought about finding a place in the Capital, where she could stay temporarily until things cooled down even if it wasn't perfect or comfortable enough, since such places should be easy to find in such a big city.

Just as these thoughts crossed Besse's mind, Susan called out loudly form inside their car.

"Besse, come on, get in!"

Besse had been standing outside alone all this time looking bewildered by how friendly yet presumptuous Susan seemed towards her. Despite feeling surprised by how familiarly close Susan acted towards her without any prior acquaintance whatsoever, Besse didn't feel offended at all.

"Get in," said Susan again invitingly.

She couldn't resist Susan's enthusiasm, so she got into their car.

"Besse, Oscar just called Manuel and said your case will be in court within a week," Susan said.

Besse was sceptical.

"Oscar said you want to leave Northfield, right?" Susan asked.

Besse pursed her lips and nodded. "Yes, I want to go back."

"I understand. Even though you're not Hannah, I still feel sad." Susan sighed. "But I also understand if it were me, I'd want to go home too."

Besse replied and smiled.

Susan was easygoing and seemed good at comforting people. She gave Besse an out when she needed it most.

"Where are we going now?" Besse asked.

"Don't you know?" Susan was surprised. "Oscar wants us to take you to his private residence in the Capital."

Besse frowned.
