Hannah finished speaking and caught her breath, "I'll sort out the video and mark their features and send it to you. Please check it and find them. And, don't alert them. I'm afraid they'll silence them first."
"OK. No problem." Manuel said without hesitation.
"Manuel, I'm going back to Kensbury City tomorrow morning. We'll have to find these two guys and look into that financial statement again. But you said the financial statement was so flawless that we couldn't do much about it. So, I don't think we should waste more time on it. Instead, we should talk to Oscar directly. He could set up the camera and left us the video, I believe he might have left us something more. You were right. Oscar is the one who can clear his name."
"Yeah," Manuel said and believed in Oscar.
"Let me know as soon as you got something."
"Sure. You too."
"OK."
Hannah and Jimmy took the first flight back to Kensbury City the next morning.
On the way back from the airport, Hannah went through the video in which Charles was proposing to Sarah. Outwardly, he had spent quite a lot of time and energy on it, and he had decided to give Sarah a fancy wedding.
She lay on the back of the seat, coldly watching Charles and Sarah's lovey-dovey faces on the screens outside. She started wondering if Charles loved Sarah Collins in her previous life. He kept saying that he loved Sarah with his life and that he took all the properties of the Cooper Family away only to please her.
Suddenly, Hannah realized that when she stopped thinking of the past. But once she recalled it, she still hated his guts and couldn't wait to tear him into pieces.
Jimmy hesitated and said, "It was also quite a stir when you married Mr Wells."
Hannah knew he got the wrong idea as Jimmy thought she was jealous of Charles and Sarah. Hell no! Whoever had married Charles would be doomed in the end! Sarah was still useful to him at the moment, otherwise, she would end up in a tragedy like her.
Hannah returned to the villa.
Max saw her and asked with anxiety, "Mrs Wells, have you found the evidence?"
"Still on it. But we've got something. Chill out, Max."
"That's good. That's good." Max sighed with relief.
Hannah said nothing more and called their lawyer, "Josh, I want to visit Oscar. Can you please help arrange it?"
"I'll try," Josh said.
"I'd like to know if we can visit him according to the regular procedures." Said Hannah.
"In theory, yes. But they've got lots of reasons to stop us. So, it's hard to tell."
"Well, leave it to the public, then." Hannah said bluntly, "Go through the regular procedures first. I'll take care of the under-the-table deals."
Josh was stunned, but Hannah didn't explain more.
She hung up on him and called several media channels that she had a good relationship with. More or less, she had got her connections since she had been in the business world for years.
Those media channels hesitated when they heard they were going to expose something about the City Hall.
Then they weighed it. Oscar's news was a hit for the time and they would suffer losses if any of their counterparts took the chance to report it. They thought it over while Hannah kept encouraging them at the same time. Finally, they all said yes.
As a result, the news that: "The City Hall seemed to have given Oscar a hard time on purpose" spread over Northfield. The old news that Oscar had taken bribes had caught lots of attention already, so it became a trending topic as soon as the news came out.
Although quite a few people were mad at Oscar for taking bribes, it was unreasonable that the City Hall stopped his defence lawyer from visiting him before the trial. And the public even though the City Hall was bending the rules.
Hannah was sure there had been a lot of stress for the City Hall.
So, they finally agreed and went through the regular procedures for Josh when he tried to request to visit Oscar again.
When the paperwork was done, Josh called Hannah in no time.
