The evidence presented by Sarah astonished the whole court.
Standing at the dock, eyes red, Charles felt powerless. Never did he expect that Sarah should have such sufficient proof. He thought what he had schemed was flawless; he believed he took advantage of everyone, including the Collins family; he used to think that he would step on the Collins' corpses and move toward glory, being a person of importance whom everyone revered.
Unfortunately, every move of him had been under surveillance. He would be abandoned or even killed if he crossed the line.
Charles clenched his fists, body trembling, face ferocious.
He was born to win. Standing on the highest point and overlooking the whole world was what he had been chasing. That was why the fiasco was so intolerable for him. He couldn't stand standing here and being stared at with scornful and sarcastic eyes.
He glared at Sarah, meeting her cold eyes.
Charles used to believe he would never fail to control ladies, and he never expected a woman should stump him one day. Sarah made him trapped.
More precisely, all was done by Hannah, indeed.
Then he stared at Hannah with red eyes. He could be sure that Hannah had done everything.
It must be she, who rescued Sarah, took Sarah here and made Sarah testify against him.
However, for the moment, the woman who defeated him didn't even glance at him with a triumphant attitude.
She didn't take her eyes off Oscar's face.
Charles just couldn't believe that the woman who had ever loved him down to the bone would have dumped him with no mercy. He could hardly hold back his emotions.
After stating Charles' crimes, Sarah felt the joy of vengeance. However, it was gone when she saw Charles staring at Hannah.
No one could imagine her suffering during the week she had been imprisoned by Charles.
Each time he felt discontented, he punched and beat her, making her black and blue except her face.
Martina, the little bitch, also mistreated her. She smacked her face or taunted her once in a while. And her "kind" mother-in-law, Loretta, was crueller than Sarah had imagined after being unmasked.
She wanted to let the Sawyer family composed of hypocrites die! Thankfully, she was rescued in time; she could get everything off her chest and make Charles and his family pay a terrible price eventually.
However, great jealousy instead of pleasure occupied her mind when she found Charles not looking at her. Besides, during the week imprisoned by Charles, he kept mentioning Hannah's name.
Charles never admitted he loved Hannah just because he couldn't swallow his pride and love a woman who had dumped him. His love for Hannah made him hate her deeply and intend to trample her underfoot.
Sarah looked dreadful. She did not and would never thank Hannah for saving her life.
