Chapter 110 A Call From Charles
Hannah was still surprised at Jane’s death.
She knew Jane would suffer a period of miserable days. However, she hadn’t expected that Mary
would be so vicious that she actually killed Jane.
After all, as far as she knew about Jane, she was sure that Jane would never suicide.
Hannah turned to look at Mary, who was crying with her eyes badly swollen. She seemed to be at the
edge of pass-out.
“I should have come to her room a bit earlier…I should have stopped her…it’s all my fault.” Mary
pretended an obviously look of remorse.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Coopers all arrived at the hospital.
After Jane’s ‘suicide’, Roger hurried to take her to the hospital. However, Jane had already slipped her
wind.
After the doctor failed the final emergency rescue effort, Jane was pronounced dead.
Both Hannah’s parents had come to the hospital after learning the news.
As soon as they arrived, they saw Jane’s body lying still with her face deadly pale.
Holding her hand, Esther kept on crying desperately for her name.
Roger’s anger had dissipated because of Jane’s death. Dispirited, he looked guilty and self-
condemned.
Sitting on the couch while sighing sadly, Lorie looked less domineering.
The air was filled with great sadness.
None of them expected Jane’s suicide after the shameful scandal.
However, only Hannah couldn’t help casting a few more glances at Mary.
She started suspecting if she had underestimated Mary.
Two days later, there came Jane’s funeral.
It was a simple one with no mourning ceremony from the family. After Jane’s body got cremated, her
ashes were buried into the cemetery specifically built for the Coopers.
Jane turned to be the youngest among all the deceased members of the Coopers.
On the way back home, Hannah was in the same car with her parents.
Miguel couldn’t help sighing, “I have never expected that Jane actually committed suicide. Though she
has been offensive, I still feel sorry for her.”
Michelle nodded, “Yeah…after all, we have watched her growing up…I feel sorry for her.”
Hannah looked outside the window, silent.
As the car reached the Cooper Manor, Michelle got off. Then Hannah went to the office with her father.
“Hannah.” Miguel suddenly held her hand.
“What’s the matter, dad?” Hannah looked a bit surprised.
“Stay tough…” said Miguel seriously.
Smiling, she could tell her dad worried if she would kill herself after a severe trauma of love.
“Dad, don’t worry. I cherish my life. Whatever happens, I will never suicide.”
“I am glad to hear that.” Miguel sighed, “Though I did dislike Jane for her being evil and ill-mannered, I
still feel sorry for her and Roger when I knew she was dead. I can’t imagine what if the same thing
happens to me and your mom one day.”
Tear started to well up in her eyes. She couldn’t help recalling her previous life, in which both her
parents risked their lives to protect her during a car accident and managed to make her survive.
She held back her emotion, “Dad, don’t worry. I will stay with you forever.”
Miguel nodded and patted on the back of her hand, seemingly solacing himself.
Then they arrived at the Cooper Group.
When Miguel and Hannah got off the car they had already collected herself. With their heads up, they
strode into the building.
Then both of them returned to their offices respectively.
Rose followed Hannah in. Then she started reporting, “Ms Hannah, Mr Richards has come to you this
morning when you were attending Jane’s funeral. He left a message that he wants to talk to you after
you return. He said there was something wrong about the staff changes.”
“Something wrong?” Hannah frowned.
As soon as she heard of Jane’s death, she helped to arrange the funeral.
Though Hannah was a bit surprised at Jane’s death, she didn’t show any sympathy for her—after all,
Jane, such a heinous devil, never deserved her pity.
However, out of conscience, Hannah still attended her funeral.
Thus, after Hannah temporarily left the office, Percy took over the staff changes process.
So Hannah had no idea what happened in the past two days.
“Everyone involved initiate a protest.” Replied Rose.
Undoubtedly, it wasn’t an easy case to deal with.
“We released the paper of staff changes process yesterday morning, requiring every one of them to
move their places according to the paper. Besides, they are required to finish the handover with their
successors. However, every single one of them still remains in the same position while continuing with
their work. They don’t intend to follow the order.” Rose reported and added, “Mr Richard has planned to
talk to them one by one. However, all of them refused to talk.”
“Have you figured out who the leader is?” asked Hannah.
Every protest must be led by a certain person. Once she convinced the leader, the problem would be
solved.
“Not yet.”
“There’s nothing else we need to do but to find out the leader. And then get him or her fired!” Hannah
looked composed.
“Yes, Ms Hannah.” Rose felt a bit amazed by her brilliance and aggressiveness.
“By the way, tell Percy about it.”
“Okay.” Then Rose left.
Hannah soon got down to business.
But then her phone rang.
She took a look. When seeing the caller’s number, she hesitated for a second.
But then she still picked it up, “Hello?”
She pretended to be a stranger.
“Come on, you have deleted my number?” Charles pretended to talk in a humorous tone.
“Yeah, Oscar doesn’t like to see me having contact with other guys.”
“Oscar, Oscar again…you have just married him…” obviously, his voice seemed to be mixed with
hidden anger.
“He has been part of my life even though we have just married.” Said Hannah.
She didn’t want to waste time talking with him, “What are you calling for?”
“Can’t I just have a common chat with you?”
“I am busy.”
“I heard you are gonna work in the Cooper Group, right?” asked Charles.
“You wanna do business with us?” Hannah maintained a distance away from him.
“Hey, don’t be so aloof. After all, we used to be in love for years.”
“I gotta hang up if you have nothing important to talk about.” Hannah didn’t want to waste any time on
him.
“Hannah.” Charles hurried to continue.
Hannah hesitated for seconds. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Can I invite you for dinner tonight?” asked Charles.
“Sorry.”
“Shall we have a clear talk with each other? At least I want a chance to redeem myself. Can I?” he
sounded like he was begging humbly.
