Oscar did not explain.
Some things like sensitive topics were not mentioned because they appeared to have an unspoken understanding.
The phone rang suddenly at this moment.
Hannah glanced at the incoming call and turned into a serious face. Oscar noticed something too.
"It's Melvin Balderston," said Hannah.
"Answer it."
Hannah took a deep breath. She had no contact with Melvin since Oscar was admitted to the hospital because of stomach perforation after he was acquitted.
After all the agreements they had reached, Hannah owed him words of thanks. And now, Melvin came to her.
"Hello, Mr Balderston."
"Oscar Wells' trial was set to begin after a week," said Melvin pointedly.
He did not like having his time wasted, and that made him look indifferent and aloof in front of people.
"Thank you." Hannah thanked.
The quick trial of Charles must be fueled by Melvin, she thought.
"You owe me nothing. It came from your efforts."
"Anyway, I should thank you."
"You're most welcome. You just need to remember what you promised."
"Don't worry, Mr Balderston. I won't go back on my word. But now, Oscar's still in the hospital after the surgery. That's why we didn't take the initiative to talk with you." Hannah explained.
"I see."
Slightly stunned, she knew what he meant.
Melvin hung up the phone soon.
Then Hannah looked at Oscar, with an intense vibe.
Staring at her, Oscar was just waiting for her to speak, silently and patiently.
"Oscar, there is something I haven't told you." Said Hannah.
"As long as you don't divorce me, anything will be reasonable."
'Could this guy be more serious?' she thought while frowning.
Oscar seemed to read her mind and he said with a smile, "Say it. I'll listen attentively."
Hannah pressed her lips, realizing that she did not need to worry about his feelings at this time.
"I've promised Melvin one thing, cause I sought to get the Balderston family involved in it to avoid the Collins family's schemes. "
"Go ahead."
"I said once you are acquitted, you will be loyal to the Balderston," Hannah said while observing Oscar's expression.
There was no answer for her that which side Oscar belonged to in her last life.
She only knew that Charles was undoubtedly a member of the Collins family, but Oscar seemed to belong to no side. However, he was a powerful, unconquerable rival to Charles.
Hannah had suspected that Oscar and the Balderston family were secretly related. But no matter how Hannah and Charles investigated, they did not find any clues.
"Well." Oscar hugged her tightly.
There was no hesitation; He just said yes.
Although Hannah was not sure if Oscar was giving her the runaround, since Oscar's ambitions should be greater than she imagined, she believed he wouldn't lie to her.
With midday turning into evening, Manuel finally finished dealing with the people who got rowdy and stirred things up.
Susan had seen it all, seen how he began in charge in an imposing manner and how he resolved problems.
No matter how those people waffled, Manuel could handle everything with ease, and finally, prove the innocence of the bank in this event.
When they send off those people, it was 9 PM.
Manuel and Susan were both hungry, for they did not eat anything, while people stirring things up had been offered a luxury feast.
Susan's stomach was growling, pretty loud.
Manuel glanced at her.
Susan was embarrassed and said, "An empty sack cannot stand upright."
"What do you want to eat?" Manuel asked in a flat tone while sorting through his computer files. He seemed not to be emotional as he was treating everyone at work well.
"Heroic."
That was her favourite restaurant.
Manuel nodded his head slightly.
Susan was a little surprised that Manuel would agree to dine out with her.
