Hannah looked at Theodore closely.
Theodore said slowly, "Oscar had dinner with some officials from the City Hall that night. He drank too much in the second round. Of course, he was not drunk. But in others' eyes, he was drunk. After that, we went out and Mary was waiting for Oscar at the door, and when she saw him, she stepped forward to help him. Seriously, if I hadn't seen clearly at the time, I would have thought she was you."
Hannah frowned.
"Mary did that on purpose because she wanted to take advantage of him." Theodore explained, "Oscar decided to follow Mary's plan and left with her. We went to the hotel. After arriving there, Oscar left under my cover. So you probably remember it was me who sent him back that night."
"Yeah." Hannah nodded.
She also remembered clearly that Oscar was a little out of control that night. Hannah wondered if that was because of Mary. But it was not the time to overthink it.
Then she heard Theodore say, "It was only on the way back that I found out Oscar was drugged."
"What?" Hannah stared at him.
This reminded her of that time when Susan was drugged, and could barely control herself, while Oscar had a certain level of control over himself.
Theodore knew what Hannah was thinking about and he said bluntly, "His self-discipline is beyond your imagination."
Hannah nodded. The more she got to know Oscar, the more she found that he was astonishing.
Now she understood that Oscar being a bit out of control wasn't because of Mary. She was kind of relieved and satisfied. Love made her possessive.
"After I sent Oscar back, I received a call saying that Mary had disappeared under our noses." Theodore said, "So, the only evidence I have at present is of the truth that Oscar did not rape Mary, but I don't know how Mary died."
"That's to say, we can prove Oscar's innocence, but we can't sue the real murderer." Hannah's face darkened.
It wasn't enough for Hannah to prove Oscar was innocent, she wanted to chase the one who harmed Oscar down, make them sentenced and hang them out to dry.
"Anyway, we can prove Oscar is not guilty now. As for the real murderer, we can collect the evidence slowly." Theodore suggested.
Hannah nodded.
At that moment, Hannah's phone rang. She took one look, and said to Theodore and Manuel, "It's Charles."
"Answer it."
"OK," Hannah pressed the answer button, "Hey,"
"What the hell do you want?" Charles's suppressed voice came from over there. It was kind of hard to miss that he was gnashing his teeth in his tone.
Hannah chuckled, "Am I bothering you for your first night in your marriage?"
"Hannah, what on earth do you want?" Charles was furious.
Before the call, he just returned to his new bedroom with Sarah, and they were about to sleep.
Since Sarah was pregnant, they would not be able to have intercourse within three months. But he had still prepared something romantic and ritual to make her even more devoted to him. However, when they were about to do something, the door was knocked on by the butler, who gave Charles a red envelope.
Hannah's name was written on it, and a note inside read, "Call me tonight or you will have to pay."
Charles didn't want to bother with the note. But when he thought about being seduced by Hannah at the banquet today, he felt terrified.
Hesitant, he finally went out of the bedroom and called Hannah, with an excuse of dealing with some work stuff.
"I want to see Oscar."
