Chapter 260 The Truth

Chapter 260 The Truth

The video that Hannah made a clarification in front of all the staffs of Cooper Group soon hit the

trending topic on the social media, followed by millions of comments complimenting her, while the one

of which collecting the most likes went on like this, “Hannah has been producing miracles ever since

she divorced Charles.”

When reading this comment, Charles almost smashed his phone out of rage.

Meanwhile, that comment had triggered countless replies, most of which condemned Charles for

holding back Hannah’s career.

The girl who had been fully devoted to him had turned to be dazzling.

Never could Charles figure out since when Hannah made such great changes on herself.

Since when she had overtaken him and he started falling behind further and further?

At the thought of that, he punched on the wall hard.

Inside the office of the City Hall, his punch caught everyone’s attention.

Soon, he noticed that. Suppressing his burning anger, he left the office.

He walked to the balcony and started making a call, “What’s going on about the charge against

Miguel?”

“The court session will start the day after tomorrow. Now we’re preparing witnesses testimony and

material evidence. But we haven’t got any update about both Miguel and Hannah.”

“Have you bribed Kash Hunter?”

“Yes.” That guy replied respectfully, “My answer a second ago is exactly originated from him.”

“Tell him to act inattentively when the court session starts. I gotta put Miguel into the jail for the rest of

his life!”

“Yes, sir!”

Charles’s face still remained chilling after he hang up the phone.

Hannah, how dared you fight against me!

He swore he would smash her this time.

After recollecting himself, Charles left the balcony.

Then a man showed up from a hidden corner.

It was Oscar, who then snubbed the cigarette.

As expected, he had figured out that Charles was the culprit.

Of course, he never deemed Charles a threatening target.

Instead, he tried to follow the lead to find out the one behind all these.

When it was 5:30 PM, Hannah was ready to get off work.

As soon as she recalled that Oscar told her some breakthrough about the case, she couldn’t help

getting thrilled.

When she returned home, she happened to see Oscar arriving.

Hannah asked straightforwardly. “What have you got?”

“Hey, would you mind if I have a glass of water first?” Oscar frowned.

Silent, Hannah walked to the kitchen to get him a glass of water.

Oscar took it over and started drinking casually.

Holding back her anxiety, she tried to stay calm, “Hey, are you ready to start?”

He took a look at her and then put away the glass, “Now I know why Maxwell and Zhang, the one who

sold the land, had secretly asked for the contract worth a hundred million.”

“Why?”

“They wanna conclude the contract.” Oscar then continued seriously. “The project of ‘Huatan’

Apartment has a market value of three hundred million at that time, which your father deemed too

expensive. So he didn’t want to make the deal. Before the contract was concluded, Maxwell told your

father that the other party was willing to offer a price of two hundred million after negotiation, which

your father found satisfying. That was why he agreed to sign the contract.”

“But why did Maxwell do that? I don’t think he’s that kind of person who would risk his future for the

sake of the company. I don’t think he would sacrifice himself for the others.”

Never would Hannah believe that Maxwell would risk the rest of his life just because he deemed the

land worthy of purchase. After all, once he got noticed, he would be likely to be sentenced to

imprisonment.

“Of course not.” Oscar added, “Think about it. What the project will bring him?”

Stunned, Hannah soon tumbled to the answer.

“You mean after the deal is concluded, Cooper Group will invest a huge capital in the project, while

Dore, the contractor, will manage to win the

bidding under Maxwell’s command. Once Dore is awarded a tender, he and Maxwell will abscond with

the money after Cooper Group offers the investment. That’s why Maxwell tried to conclude the deal

even despite of the risk. After they run off, they can split the investment, right?”

“Brilliant.” Oscar smiled as if he were complimenting a little girl.

Though a bit unpleasant, Hannah continued to ask, “How did you know?”

“You told me to keep an eye on Dore, right? However, I suppose it’s better to pay more attention to his

bank account. Though he has maneuvered to cover up, I can still find out that there were a few bank

transfer records between him and Maxwell. Besides…” Oscar suddenly stopped.

Hannah frowned.

“Your uncle, Roger…” Oscar stressed out his name.

“You mean the “Huatan’ project has been conspired by both Maxwell and Roger?” Hannah seemed to

have expected that.

Oscar nodded.

“But there’s one more thing I am confused about. Since it has passed, from which they got such a big

sum of money, why do they insist on mentioning about it? Aren’t they afraid to be noticed?”

“So, there must be another culprit pushing it, I suppose.”

“Charles isn’t that powerful enough to push it.” Hannah was sure about it.

During this period of time, Charles had just started his career in the business world. There was no way

he could do that.

So, Charles wasn’t the answer.

“I mean there’s someone behind him.” Oscar replied.

Surprised, Hannah then recalled that back into her previous life. Charles had built a connection with a

powerful family at the age of 28, three years after which he got greatly promoted in the official system.

Then he started a deeper connection with those privileged families.

From the very beginning, Charles had kept her in the dark-Charles chose the matrilocal marriage with

her not because he coveted the property

of the Coopers. Instead, he was conspiring to take over their property under the command of someone

else.

At the thought of that, Hannah couldn’t help shivering.

If that was the truth, the Cooper Family had turned to be the target of a more powerful family.

Before that, her lifelong target was to fight against Charles after she came back to life.

However, now she realized that she had to fight against a much stronger power. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“What are you thinking?” Oscar couldn’t help asking.

Hannah collected herself. However, she couldn’t tell him about it.

Even if she did, Oscar wouldn’t be likely to believe it.

After all, it sounded too ridiculous that she actually came back to life after death.

“I was thinking if I had been in the trap Charles prepared.” Hannah figured out an excuse.

“So do you mean you still have hope for him?” Oscar teased.

Obviously, he felt jealous.

Hannah rolled her eyes at him. She hurried to get down to business, “That means Uncle Roger is the

culprit!”
