After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471 The Game (14) Charles' Tricks

There was another piece of news popping up on the phone in the afternoon. It read that "Charles's new girlfriend is Sarah Collins-the daughter of the Collins family."
Hannah found a photo of Sarah. The photo was taken secretly at Charles' private apartment when Sarah was flirting with Charles in Charles' clothes yesterday. The intimate interaction confirmed their relationship in every respect. Hannah stared at the photo for a while. She was not feeling bad or what, instead, she was thinking that Charles was so good at playing tricks. He succeeded to find shelter from the Collins family when he was to fail, and the Collins family must give him a helping hand once his relationship with Sarah was exposed to the public. Nobody could be as cunning as Charles was.
The sweet smile on Sarah's face demonstrated that she was captivated entirely by Charles. Hannah could not deny that Charles was indeed skilled at capturing girls' hearts, or how would her previous life be so miserable after being cheated on by him?
Thinking of it, her feeling was written on her face. Even Rose didn't dare to give the work report to her. Rose had heard of the news about Charles and Sarah as well. She was not sure whether Hannah still had a feeling for Charles. But it didn't make sense, since Oscar was undoubtedly much better than Charles.
...
Charles felt awful when he received a phone call from Rowan who started pitching into him immediately regarding the exposure of his love affair with Sarah as soon as he picked it up.
All of those annoying words made him suffer so deeply. However, what he could do was only bear them.
"Charles Sawyer, I know clearly what you're up to. How dare you set me up! You deliberately broke the news at such a period because you wanted me to help you out!"
"No Mr Collins, I didn't. My love for Sarah is true, and so is hers. If you think I am not worthy of her, I could leave her."
"Stop your pretension! Now that your relationship has been confirmed to the public, do you planning to tell them that I'm a wicked father who is to ruthlessly break a couple up when you offer to leave? Or tell them that Sarah has given you her body and soul? You are ruining her future marriage!" Rowan shouted angrily. "Charles Sawyer, I do want to kill you!"
"I'm so sorry, Mr Collins. But I'm not lying, I love Sarah so much."
"Shout up!" Rowan couldn't bear him anymore. He had no choice but to accept Charles as a member of his family once his relationship with Sarah was exposed to the public. He never thought of assisting him to clean up the mess, and he even intended to give him up. However, the exposure of the news now made him suppressed by Charles.
Charles didn't dare to say more to him, so he was holding the phone patiently as if waiting for Rowan to calm down.
Rowan said after a long time, "I'll give you one last chance. If you ruined it, I will give you up no matter what your relationship is with Sarah."
"Thank you for admitting my love for Sarah, Mr Collins." Charles was so crafty that he kept showing his love for Sarah was pure and out of any commercial benefit.
"You'd better give up defending your rights against the crime of fraudulent use of loan. It's a fact and you will only make the situation worse by chicanery." Said Rowan, "So a member of your family has to carry the can, and I deem your father, Lee Sawyer, would be the best choice."
He had the same idea. Though Lee didn't know what happened, the best way for Charles to get away was to make his father a scapegoat.
"But my father will face legal sanctions if doing so. I have consulted a lawyer and he said that people who committed such crimes will be imprisoned for one to three years for the crime of fraud, even though we have compensated for all the loss! My father is not young anymore..."
"The great things are achieved from not obsessing on small details. Talk to your father about your situation patiently, and he will not turn down you if he knows what's more important." Rowan appeared to be a bit impatient.
"I see." Charles didn't say more.
"Now the most important thing is to return the 1 billion to settle the problem, otherwise the international e-commerce project could never start. I know it. This project has great potential for development in the future. I have to say it is an important key for the future development of your family."
"I know. But the problem is that we have no 1 billion to pay the bank loan, or never would we attempt to take risks to cheat the loan. We have invested a great amount of money in the South Bay New Town project but now there is a capital chain rupture. We have mortgaged all we have except for the shares of my father, which is just 50%. Despite if there was any bank that would take the shares as loans, I'm still worried others would take the advantage to play tricks on us in such circumstances to ruin my company."
"What made the fall of your family?" Rowan gnashed his teeth and asked.
"It's all because of Hannah who..."
"Stop blaming others every time you did a bad job! It's all because you are a loser!"
"Yes," Charles admitted. "It's my problem. I'll do better next time."
"I don't want to listen to your yakety-yak!" Rowan said in a cold voice. "I'll try to give you 1 billion. But remember Charles, this is your last chance. If there is something wrong, I won't butt in again!"
"Thank you, Mr Collins. I promise it's the last time." Charles promised with excitement.
"You must handle this problem. As for Sarah, you are not allowed to see her again until all is figured out." Rowan continued, "My men will pick up Sarah immediately."
"Yes." Charles didn't dare to say no. Then, the phone was hung up at once. At that moment, an evil smile appeared on Charles' face. The Collins family was being played around by him in the end.
All of a sudden, he changed another feeling on his face and called Sarah at once. "Sarah, your father just called me up and said that he's gonna take you home. I don't want you to do."
Sarah also didn't feel well. She didn't want to go, either, for they just stayed for one day.
"Wait for me. I'll be back soon." Charles said. He put down his phone and headed to the private apartment immediately. Now he changed his plan. The best way to get the assistance of the Collins family was to get the whole heart of Sarah Collins!
