After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire novel Chapter 547

Chapter 547 The Balderston Family Got Involved

The next day, Hannah got a call from Charles while she was working in the office.

She didn't sleep well last night out of concern about both the post and Oscar. Even when she managed to fall asleep, her dreams were overwhelmed by Oscar's haggard face. She was easily roused from sleep. But she had to struggle to make herself fall asleep again and again.

She picked up the phone, "Mr Sawyer, what can I do for you?"

"Hannah, you start conspiring again, huh?" Charles shouted straightforwardly.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, you don't? You mean you know nothing about the post?"

"Oh, the post… I have no idea what kind of gossiper would post something like that. I can't believe it was said that you were involved in Mary's death. But Charles, I do wanna know if you had anything to do with that?"

"Enough!" his voice was mixed with burning anger.

The post greatly impacted his reputation.

"Charles, I am working right now and there is a meeting waiting for me. I gotta hang up if there is nothing serious you are gonna talk about." Hannah still maintained an impassive tone.

"You'd better pray that no one can get the evidence to prove your connection to this!" Charles threatened.

Then he hung up the phone.

Hannah stared at her phone, looking serious.

Then she dialled Manuel's number, "Hi, Manuel."

"What's the next move?"

"You have attracted enough public attention. It's time to shape public opinion."

"Okay." Manuel agreed.

"Be careful. Charles has kept an eye on you. If you are found to spread the gossip and hack the media, you will be charged."

"Don't worry."

At 1 PM, another post caught the public attention again.

The title read "Shall the Collins do something to avoid suspicion?"

Such a post with shocking content shed light on Collins's secretive involvement.

Besides, the post was developed with thorough analysis, the major indication of which could be concluded into two points: firstly, Charles, as both the son-in-law of the Collins family and one of the suspects involved in Mary's death, the Collins had every reason to take actions to avoid any suspicion. It was known to all that Collins ruled the judicial system in Kensbury City. Whatever the judgment turned out to be, misapprehension about the Collins would be still inescapable. What was more, according to domestic law, the judge in charge should have no direct nor indirect connection to the case itself. Secondly, it was also known that Charles and Oscar had been opponents against each other with great feuds. However, the trial was now conducted by the judicial system mostly ruled by the Collins, with which Charles was greatly connected. There was no doubt that such a situation would appear rather unfair.

As soon as the post was released, it led to overall agreement among social media.

Discussion about the matter soon turned into people calling for the Collins to step aside from the trial.

The Collins certainly got a negative impact under the stress of public opinion.

Soon, Charles got a call from Rowan.

"Charles, what the hell are you doing? You let Oscar find a chance to turn the table even after he's kept imprisoned?"

Charles was rendered rather embarrassed.

He thought he had held the trump cards.

However, never did he expect Oscar to manage to exploit an advantage.

"If the situation goes on like this, we will not convince the public even if we settle down the trial as we wish!"
