Glaring at Charles, Sarah looked so desperate.
Charles also knew he'd completely fallen out with Sarah, and that all his lies had been down to drain.
"Why didn't you just let me tell my father? Why?" Sarah thundered. She couldn't understand why Charles stopped her from seeking revenge.
"Was it because of Hannah? You still love her, so you don't want her to die? Charles, you've been lying to me. You've been lying to me from the beginning! I'll divorce you! I'm getting a divorce with you and leaving for the capital right away!" Sarah roared and freaked out.
She should have guessed that Charles loved Hannah.
It turned out that Charles's love for her was a sham.
He would have been with Hannah if he hadn't been caught in the scandal, she now realized that. But she'd fallen for his lies.
Martina was right that she wasn't as good as Hannah in every way. To be fair, besides her family background, she was out-competed by Hannah in all aspects.
Hannah had taken the shine off of her. Now, she was aware that she had been always flattering herself.
"No!" Charles denied it immediately.
This was the time Charles hated Hannah the most, for he had been trapped into facing the miscarriage of Sarah. For now, there was nothing except hatred in his feelings for Hannah.
He found Hannah was playing them off against each other. He was so pissed that he couldn't wait to kill her.
But he must keep his shirt on, or the Collins family would know that Sarah had a miscarriage.
He must keep it from them until Oscar was sentenced.
At least, he must get something done to win the trust of the Collins family.
Thinking, he said, "It had nothing to do with Hannah. I don't think she's got the capacity and guts to do something like that. Don't overthink it."
"Charles, how could you be sure without looking into it?" Sarah kept pushing.
"I know Hannah well."
"Really? Then why you've got so fucked up? Charles, are you so over yourself or are you simply lying to me?"
"I'll find it out." Charles said, "I swear I'll kill her if she did it."
"Huh, funny." Sarah snorted, "God knows how long it'll take for you to find out the truth. I don't need you to do that. I just want my father!"
"Stop it." Charles said impatiently, "Leave it to me. You should have a good rest."
"Charles!" Sarah gnashed.
"You'll get to know whatever I'm doing now, I do it for you." Charles pretended to be sweet. He acted his part no matter whether Sarah would buy it or not.
At that moment, Sarah's phone rang abruptly.
Charles got nervous for a second.
"Let go of me! I have to answer the phone!" Sarah screamed.
Charles winked at Martina. Martina took out the phone and glanced at it, "It's Sarah's father."
"Let me answer the phone!" Sarah shouted.
But Charles didn't give her any chance. He let go of Sarah, strode over to grab the phone and went out.
Sarah wanted to get out of bed and followed him, but Martina pressed her back on the bed and said, "Behave yourself, bitch. Just do as Charles said!"
"Let go of me! Martina! Let go!" Sarah screamed, having an emotional breakdown.
Martina just smiled coldly. After all, they'd fallen out with her, and she didn't need to suck up to her again.
Snap! Martina slapped hard in Sarah's face.
