CHAPTER 762 A TALK WITH HANNAH

Chapter 762 A Talk With Hannah

Manuel could also notice his mother's feelings. Undoubtedly, Susan must be at the edge of a

breakdown, where she almost lost everything. She could do nothing about it but keep crying.

"If it weren't because of Hannah's request, I wouldn't have even glanced at her." Huffed Justine.

Manuel knew his mom had been more likely to bark than bite. Though Justine disliked Susan, she

wouldn't just simply sit by.

"How about Edward?" asked Manuel to change the subject.

When speaking of Edward, Justine couldn't help sighing. She was sad about what happened to

Edward. When seeing Susan crying all day and night, she somehow found herself a bit cold-blooded.

"The doctor said nothing but a miracle could save him," Justine replied frankly.

Manuel nodded.

"But what on earth was happening? Edward committed suicide while Susan got injured all over. And

you ended up being wounded like this, and Henry Parker was dead…"

Finally, Manuel confessed the truth to her.

Upon knowing what happened, Justine mumbled, "If Edward's choice at that time was indeed the

cause of Henry's tragic life, I gotta say that's the price he needs to pay."

Manuel nodded to agree. Fairly speaking, Edward was responsible for the tragedy happening to

Henry's family. Perhaps it was all destined to be.

"Okay, you gotta take care of yourself. I need to go to check if Susan got enough crying." Justine took a

deep breath.

Manuel nodded with a smile, knowing that Justine did care about Susan though she pretended not to.

Then he watched her leaving in anxiety. Once again, the air fell into silence. He lay down to fix his eyes

on the ceiling. From now on, everything would be much different.

A week later, Manuel got himself discharged from the hospital. And so did Susan. According to Justine,

Susan muted herself because of crying for three consecutive days and nights. Finally, she seemed

much relieved. So she started dining and sleeping regularly. After staying for five days, she left the

hospital. It was said that she even returned to work in the office.

She seemed to be more determined. But Manuel had no intention to figure out the reason. As soon as

he left the hospital, he headed to Hannah's. He didn't mean to dissuade her but he got some plans to

notice her before taking action, which he deemed necessary.

As he reached the villa, he saw Hannah slouching into the recliner while sunbath. With sunlight

shedding on her fair skin, she seemed to enjoy her leisure moment. Manuel couldn't help wondering

what if Oscar saw such a picture. Perhaps it would hold back his motivation to leave for the Capital.

As he walked over, Hannah opened her eyes and smiled at him. Luckily, she still looked friendly to him.

Before that, Manuel worried that Hannah would be hostile against him because of Oscar.

"Manuel, welcome here." Hannah greeted on her initiative.

"You look good today," Manuel replied casually.

"What else can I do?" Hannah let out a bitter smile.

"My cousin…"

"Are you here because of him?" Hannah interrupted.

"Partly."

"Alright, just talk about something with him excluded." Obviously, she didn't wanna talk about Oscar.

After a short pause, Manuel nodded, "Okay."

"Before you get started, I have some questions about Susan."

"Go ahead."

"Is Henry dead?" Hannah didn't know about that until she saw the news.

"Yeah, after he kidnapped Susan and tried to push Edward into suicide, he jumped off the building

himself. That's why Susan survived." He answered briefly.

Upon hearing that, Hannah nodded. No wonder Edward had turned vegetative.

"How about Susan?" asked Hannah.

She hadn't called Susan for a week in case it would arouse her worry.

"She's probably fine."

Hannah could tell from his brief response that neither of them had started to fix their relationship.

"She has probably returned to work. But I don't know much about the detail. Since she starts to work

again, I suppose she has mostly recovered." Manuel continued to explain.

"So this is the end between you and Susan?"

"Or what else could it be?" he questioned rhetorically.

"Now that you have gone this far. Why don't you spare yourself another chance?"

"So why don't you spare Oscar another chance?" asked Manuel.

Hannah responded with silence. Seeing that, Manuel let out a long sigh. Now it seemed like a mission

impossible for Oscar to retrieve Hannah's love.

"Time to get straight to the point." Hannah changed the subject. Undoubtedly, she still maintained the

greatest composure.

Manuel then continued frankly, "I will help Oscar to take the economy of Northfield under full control."

Upon hearing that, Hannah turned serious. Of course, she was brilliant enough to understand what he

meant.

Manuel nodded to confirm her presumption, "Frankly speaking, all the corporations in Kensbury City,

including the Wells Group, the Phillips Bank and the Cooper Group will be all under control."

Hannah sneered, "It's a hell of risks to mount to the top, huh?"

"I know you find it hard to understand his action. And I know you won't listen to him. But he got no

choice. If he were to refuse, there would be someone else from the Collins to take his position. Once

the Collins fully controls the economy, he won't be likely to maintain his reign."

"Nothing's changed even after I came back to life." Hannah sneered to herself.

"No, something's changed. At least we all survive." Said Manuel.

That was right. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Everyone had survived including Hannah, her parents and Susan. Though Edward had turned

vegetative, at least he was still alive.

"But Cian is dead." Said Manuel with great upset.

Hannah cast him a glance. She got to admit that Manuel was good at negotiating. Though he seemed

to be sighing with upset, he was actually reminding her that it was Cian who trade his life for others'

survival. Thus, she should consider herself grateful for Cian's sacrifice and be ready to forgive what

Oscar had done.

"Just a reminder to get you prepared. And I hope you won't fight against him. Before that, the Collins

had been preying on the economy of Kensbury. However, because of the Balderston, they failed to act

as wild as they wished. But now at least Oscar and the Collins are allying with each other on the

surface. With the power they got, they could easily topple the Top Three families in Kensbury."
